Ignoring Tartarus and the others' threats, Dark Zagi turned around. His scarlet eyes fell on Taro, and with just one glance, the violence filling them made even Taro's mind waver slightly:
"I feel very good right now—
I can easily eliminate the threat to the Kingdom now, and when I return, I can carry out sweeping reforms and make the world the way I want it to be.
As for the changes in my appearance...
Ha... Power itself has no distinction between good and evil. It only depends on whether it is used for the right path or the wrong one.
I think you understand that, Taro."
"..."
Listening to the words spoken by "Gwen" beneath Dark Zagi's appearance, everyone fell silent—
There was not a fool among those present. Even Xiao Lu and Zeta could hear that something was wrong with Gwen, yet there was nothing inherently wrong with his words.
Just as everyone was gathering their thoughts, intending to persuade Gwen first, a ball of brilliant golden light suddenly smashed out from the scarlet mist—
"Absolute Destruction!"
Seeing that the mist was not overly powerful and that the Kingdom's soldiers could withstand it by forming ranks, Tartarus breathed a sigh of relief and began to counterattack.
Whether the opponent was truly Dark Zagi or not, his hostility was already plain to see.
Since that was the case, he could not be allowed to run wild in the Kingdom!
"Hmph!"
However, facing Tartarus's charged strike, Dark Zagi merely turned sideways and met it with a punch. The dazzling Absolute Destruction only held on for a moment before being scattered by that fist.
"What?!"
Even though Tartarus had not expected that strike to succeed, he could not help crying out in surprise.
"You really are... courting death!"
