The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 7165

“This is the issue.” James turned to stare intently at Emperor Yevgen. “A puppet controlled by Xanthakos Qadeer was powerful with just a trace of Nothingness Dead Energy. Imagine how formidable Xanthakos himself must be.”

“T-This…” Emperor Yevgen’s face twitched. “Are you saying that Emperor Qadeer has been feigning weakness and hiding his true strength all along?”

James nodded slightly.

“That doesn’t make sense.” Emperor Yevgen furrowed his brow. “If he was truly that powerful, why would he need to instigate a war across the Forty-Ninth Heaven? He could have simply killed Lord Goyo and a few Path Emperors to seize control.”

“That is another problem.” James clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed into slits. “Why would he use such roundabout methods if he has the strength to take what he wants directly?”

“He wants to divert attention,” the Divine Marius said with a cold snort. “By inciting chaos, he could involve all the powerhouses of the Forty-Ninth Heaven in the conflict, while he stealthily sought out Wuia Palace to seize the Path Designation Bead.

“With the bead in his possession, he would become the undisputed ruler of Haleth Realm, acting as the Path without the title.”

The Divine Marius then looked at Emperor Yevgen. “At that point, we, including our master and Lord Goyo, would be his subjects. Whether we live or die would be at his whim.”

Emperor Yevgen gasped after hearing this. “This is truly sinister!”

Just as his words fell, Emperor Xianelle, who had been trapped by James’ dozen Path characters, suddenly exploded with a thunderous crash. Her skeletal remains scattered, but James swiftly gathered them with a wave of his hand. He could not allow any bone to fall into the myriad realms, as it would cause untold harm.
