Nathan's ears were filled with the relentless sound of footsteps. Soon, he found himself surrounded by figures emerging from their long concealment. The elites of Adrune, who had been hidden before, now made their presence known.
Nathan, maintaining a composed demeanor but with eyes reflecting deep disappointment, stared at Bryon, who was protected by bodyguards in the distance, and spoke with a touch of irony. "I aimed for the stars, only to fall into a pit."
Having triumphed in the divine realm, resolved Earth's peril, and ascended to the throne as the God King, Nathan could have disregarded Earth. Yet, he always felt connected to his earthly origins, striving to apply Divine Realm technology for Earth's improvement.
Ironically, his efforts were seen as futile by others.
Furthermore, despite his contributions to Earth, he was still seen as a major threat, with many seeking his elimination for their own peace.
As a result, any connection between Earth and the Divine Realm was severed, with strength becoming the only judge of truth.
In that moment, Nathan's expression became impassive and detached, embodying the emotionless nature of the God King.
His gaze upon the crowd resembled a monarch scrutinizing insignificant ants.
Among the elites like Wolfric, Nathan's icy stare instilled such fear that they recoiled. His single look sent thousands of formidable beings retreating in fear.
Only after retreating did they realize their reaction, their faces turning red with shame.
Wolfric, red-faced and agitated, stepped forward, challenging Nathan's gaze. With a voice mixing defiance and vulnerability, he accused, "Nathan, we thought you were a human, but it turns out that you're not. You're of a foreign race. You infiltrated us, exploited Earth, and conquered the Divine Realm. What were your true motives?"
He continued, "If you surrender and confess, relinquishing the Divine Realm to us, we might show leniency."
