The God of Clouds pondered for a long time before saying, "The power I can mobilize doesn't come only from myself. It also comes from my believers, my warriors, and my allies! The extent of my influence is beyond the imagination of any Magic Apprentice."
"The 102 mages and Merlin aren't as powerful as you. They're weak and truly can't mobilize many believers or warriors, and they don't have many allies either. To put it bluntly, there aren't many mages who can avenge them. Their deaths can only make one person act: me."
Suye gazed calmly at the God of Clouds.
The God of Clouds was rendered speechless.
Arthur stared at Suye's back, then looked toward the mages who had come with him. He discovered that an unprecedented Great Power radiated from their bodies.
It was present in their teachers, in their teachers' teachers, and in every true mage.
Suye said calmly, "See? You and we mages are no different. You're no different from every person who wants to advance, believes in advancement, and is advancing. I don't mind if you separate yourself from those lives that have abandoned wisdom, stand above them, mock them, and belittle them. I won't do that, nor will I stop you. But you cannot place yourself above those of us who are advancing. Even if many of us are still very weak, our future lies in climbing the mountains and reaching the summit. You are not worthy."
The mages held their humble heads high, wearing proud smiles.
Whether they were the Original Gods, the Original Gods' followers, Gaiyue, Armless Giant, or the people around Arthur, they all looked at Suye and the mages. Their hearts surged with emotions they could neither suppress nor understand.
It was as if raging flames flowed through everyone's veins.
