Ur's declaration pierced everyone's Divine Soul like an icicle that would never melt.
His logic was simple and absolute.
When power changed hands, duty changed hands with it.
It was a law so ancient it allowed no argument.
"Your duty?"
Qin Chuan's voice broke the deathly silence. He stepped forward, and the power that froze all things dissolved within three feet of him.
"Your duty should end too."
Nothing changed on Frostbound Silent Lord Ur's indistinct face.
He existed to fulfill his duty as a keeper.
Qin Chuan wasted no words. He slowly raised his right hand.
Within his Divine Soul Core, the shadow of a pitch-black arrow resonating with his [Assassination] Godhead trembled faintly.
The divine skill he had developed using four million Divine Essence was no mere showpiece.
The next instant, the tip of a black arrow emerged from empty air before Qin Chuan's fingertip.
It had no physical form. It looked more like a tiny piece of space had been carved away, leaving pure nothingness.
The moment the arrow appeared, Dies Martin and Alesha both felt a tremor of unease deep within their Divine Authority.
This thing targeted not their lives, but the very foundation of their godhood.
"Keeper, your Divine Authority is 'Eternal Freeze' and 'Slumber.'"
Qin Chuan stated it as a simple fact.
"Your duty is to guard the Ice Tomb."
With every word he spoke, more of the black arrow emerged from the void.
It was black from tip to tail, without a trace of shine or a single rune, yet it radiated a sense of severance that made even gods shudder.
"So what if that duty no longer belongs to you?"
As his words fell, the arrow took complete shape.
[Divine Skill: Arrow of Divine Authority Deprivation]
Qin Chuan flicked his finger.
Hum.
