The Five Elders waited tensely. When the world-shaking commotion from the battlefield finally died away,
their anxiety only grew. They knew the battle between Lord Imu and That Man must have ended,
and now it was time for their judgment. If Lord Imu had won, then all would be well, and they could continue to hold their lofty positions.
But if That Man had won, then even if he did nothing to them, the World Government's rule would be greatly shaken. Those who opposed the World Government's rule would surely launch a new wave of resistance.
The Five Elders' fate would be all too clear by then.

His injuries had also completely healed. Only the bloodstains on his luxurious clothes bore witness to the brutal battle he had just endured.
"Lord Imu... that man..."
Though the Five Elders were nervous, they still asked.
Imu's expression had returned to calm, and he maintained the majesty of the King of the Celestial Dragons.
"He died beneath Pluton's ultimate weapon..."
"He was quite a troublesome opponent."
Imu explained that in his long life of eight hundred years, Nara Dan was the first person he had encountered who could stand against an Ancient Weapon.
The Five Elders' expressions grew complicated at this.
"So you even used the ultimate weapon..."
Though they hadn't been able to make out the battle's course, they knew that the ultimate weapon was Pluton's final trump card. It had the power to annihilate everything, but it came at a heavy cost and couldn't be used repeatedly.
The fact that Lord Imu had been driven to use the ultimate weapon
