Imu's Ruthlessness, the Fall of the Four Elders

As Rocks grew ever more brazen and Kozuki Houka looked down on the world, the last thread of Imu's hesitation snapped.

Imu had to become a true god!!

Imu would bring this chaotic world to heel again!

Otherwise, even retreating to the holy land of Mary Geoise would leave the World Government in a dire position.

More importantly, rebels like Kozuki Houka would not let them withdraw safely.

Rather than flee like a beaten dog or wait for another contract bearer to be killed, Imu would take the risk.

Even if the ascension failed, Kozuki Houka and the others had no hope of keeping Imu there!

At worst, the situation would deteriorate further.

Imu could still return to Mary Geoise and create new immortal contract bearers!

Imu would never leave these rebels an intact world.

Even if it meant destroying the world, Imu would not hesitate!

I will always remember what you have done for me over these past centuries.

I will take good care of your families!

Imu's voice rang coldly through the minds of the Four Elders and the Marine commanders.

Saint Marcus Mars, who had just called for help, felt a chill that made his scalp crawl.

What did Lord Imu mean by that?

Warcury, Saint Nusjuro, and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter all felt their pupils contract and their hearts seize.

Lord Imu, things haven't reached that point yet! We still have time to regroup. Please don't give up on us!

Lord Imu, please have mercy...

Lord Imu, please don't act rashly...

The three Elders hurriedly pleaded in their minds, their voices full of fear.

Never had they imagined that the god they served would kill them.

You have disappointed me time and again!

*Now I must reclaim the power within you and ascend
