Another unrecognizable corpse was carried out of the collapsed hall.
Abraham stood to the side, inhaling the stench of blood in the air, and sighed softly.
Exhaustion filled his face; it was the first time in thousands of years that he had felt so weary.
His Majesty's condition is getting worse.
Moreover, this guy is impossible to deal with; if you agree with him, he's accused of being paranoid; if you disagree, he's accused of flying into a rage. He's impervious to both soft and hard approaches, making him incredibly difficult to handle.
This gave Abraham a long-lost feeling of intense powerlessness.
The more this was the case, the more he felt how correct Kuba's ideas had been in the past.
If the one sitting on the throne at this moment were not Norton, but a human emperor.
His actions could only last for a few decades at most; at worst, he would be killed and replaced.
But now Norton is neither killed nor eliminated. If he cannot be sealed away again, then what continues will not be the mere few decades of human emperors.
This is also why Abraham developed the idea of betraying his former lover.
If there were no extraordinary beings in human society, then even with class antagonism and oppression, it would ultimately be like living water, constantly flowing and changing. This would allow for the long-term existence of rulers like Norton today.
This reflects the promotion and health of the entire society.
Perhaps its oppressive and exploitative nature is far more insane than that of His Majesty Norton now, but it will eventually be replaced.
However, His Majesty is someone who is impossible to control.
Perhaps from the perspective of the poor, His Majesty's rule is indeed a good situation for them, but for the entire human race, only the vitality generated by the continuous changes in class can enable humanity to develop more and more tenaciously.
But Abraham was truly powerless to do anything about it.
Abraham sighed softly, feeling utterly powerless.
Whether it's the current emperor or the emperor who betrayed him.
He had done everything he could, and now all that remained was to wait for this last chance in the Northern Continent.
If the Northern Continent truly possesses sufficient power to forcibly imprison Your Majesty, or if the so-called Eternal Life Society can genuinely summon Jonah to suppress Your Majesty, then everything will be fine.
If Your Majesty survives in the end, then from this day forward, Your Majesty will truly be the only God left in the entire Garden of Eden!
Before Abraham's thoughts had even settled, the Pale God, who had just vanished, reappeared in the ruins of the palace.
That slender, pale, and tall figure stood quietly on the ruins she had crashed into, gazing blankly at the scene of devastation she had created, seemingly filled with sorrow.
I have been wounded by God, and now I am so haggard!
What am I afraid of? It's nothing but death!
Norton stood stunned on the ruins he had crashed into. The steel bars beneath his feet had been crushed into flattened discs like noodles, and the concrete rubble was as fragile as tofu, crumbling at the slightest touch.
However, the greater the power and the more ruins it created, the more he felt lost and regretful.
When did I become so suspicious and fearful?
"In the past, when I hid in the bell tower of that city, avoiding the pursuit of the Holy See day and night, I was never as paranoid as I am today! Why is it that now, as my status becomes more exalted and my power more formidable, I am increasingly fearful and anxious, seeing enemies everywhere?"
"In the past, when I fought the Holy Lord Empire to the death, I never showed any fear or trepidation, nor did I ever feel uneasy. I even remember that I, Norton, was not afraid of death back then and was determined to fight the Holy See to the death. How can I be so cowardly today?"
"In the past, Adam Yalian IV were willing to sacrifice themselves for righteousness, unafraid of death. Even Miles XIII dared to stay and fight me to the death. Now, I, Norton, stand at a peak far superior to theirs. How can I be frightened into a cowardly state by a crisis that has not yet arrived, and lose my mind?"
Rather than lingering on in fear and anxiety, we should learn from the emperors of the past, adopt a more relaxed mindset, and face challenges head-on!
I am the Pale God, the only deity in this Garden of Eden! I should be fearless, I should pursue transcendence!
I should be like Hegemon-King Xiang Yu, truly muster my courage, and have a fair and square clash with God!
The Pale God Norton stood amidst the ruins, his silver hair falling across them, yet untouched by any filth.
Its holy and perfect body contrasts with the broken and mottled ruins; the perfect holiness and the broken decay complement each other, and it truly reveals a sense of God's Divinity.
The change in his mindset seemed to have given him a real sliver of the Divinity he had been pursuing from beginning to end!
Such a mesmerizing scene is captivating, leaving one mesmerized.
Only Elizabeth, whose attention had been focused on Norton from beginning to end, knew to offer His Majesty blood wine at this moment as a gesture of appeasement.
"Your Majesty."
Elizabeth, standing on tiptoe, presented the goblet filled with scarlet blood to His Majesty's proud head.
The subtle aromas mingled with the scent of wine wafted into Norton's nostrils like a tempting worm.
However, the Pale God Norton, who had just stood atop the ruins with a holy and divine appearance, instantly shattered his hazy Divinity under the stimulation of the wine's aroma. His perfect face was twisted to the extreme, and terror was now etched into his dark eyes.
"No!!!
This is God's creation; consuming it diminishes one's dignity.
I cannot belong here!!!
Before the words were even finished, the pale figure standing atop the ruins shot out like an arrow, instantly spreading its wings and soaring into the sky!
"Crash..." The already dilapidated dome of the main hall was smashed open again, creating a huge gap, and countless pieces of rubble rolled down, burying Elizabeth inside.
Luckily, she was also Vampire, otherwise she would have been smashed into a pulp.
