"Thank you, Master, for granting me a new life. Please set a restriction, Master, and I will be loyal to you for life."
Tortai prostrated himself at Leo's feet, begging Leo to control his soul; he wanted to become Leo's slave, just as he had in the past.
His ascension to the World Lord did not change his loyalty to Leo!
"Forget it, we don't need the restriction. You go help Yaoyao and take care of him for me."
"Yes, Master."
Although Leo did not re-impose the restrictions on Tortai, Tortai still called him "master."
Leo is in the Shadow Plane and can sense what is happening in every location within Shadow Plane.
Although all civilizations were trying to behave as usual, the tension just wouldn't dissipate.
Yaoyao was busy inspecting each of the collected energy crystals, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Leo lightly touched the ground and instantly appeared in front of the Sword of Winter and the others.
Why don't you kill us?
With all his energy dissipated, the Sword of Winter, Sword of Winter of madness and wanted to rush forward to fight Leo as soon as he saw Leo appear.
But he was just a mortal with a stronger body, and Leo sent him flying with a single glance.
"Is he usually this fragile?" Leo looked at Blue Heart Demon and the Barrier of Strength.
"Snort."
Blue Heart Demon and Barrier of Strength snorted coldly and remained silent. Leo didn't kill them, but such humiliation made them not want to say a single word to Leo.
"Fine, since you don't want to talk, then your mouths are useless to you."
In my name: I bestow upon you...
The three of them once again felt the Power of Laws of the Shadow Plane converging upon them.
The Barrier of Strength is desperate; if they were also deprived of their ability to speak, they might as well be dead.
" Atomic Control, please stop."
"Oh ho, so you still remember how to speak."
Leo casually dispersed the gathered Power of Laws; these guys just needed to be taught a lesson.
"I'll reiterate, I don't want to kill you. You'd better guard the gate properly. If you do a good job, maybe I can let you go back someday. If you don't, I have plenty of ways to torture you."
The Sword of Winter wanted to pounce and bite Leo, but it was held back by the Barrier of Strength and the Blue Heart Demon.
They did not doubt the veracity of Leo's words, and their primary concern now was protecting their own safety.
The rules of the Shadow Plane only apply within the Shadow Plane. As long as they find a way to leave the Shadow Plane, the Supreme Lord's level can be restored.
There's no need to risk your life for a few words of verbal sparring.
Moreover, there are so many Supreme Lord in the Wizard World who must be guarding outside the spatial passage right now. They will definitely try to find a way to rescue them.
Leo knew what they were thinking, but didn't care at all.
With him around, these four Supreme Lord will inevitably remain in the Shadow Plane, working for him for free. If he doesn't release them, no one can rescue them.
"Open!"
With a low shout, all the spatial passages in the Shadow Plane that had been closed for many days reopened, and more than twenty Supreme Lord instantly appeared opposite them!
Everyone's eyes met instantly.
A pair of hostile gazes filled the air, as if they wanted to devour Leo.
"It's been a long time, everyone."
Leo smiled.
No one answered, because they saw the three standing beside Leo: the Sword of Winter, the Blue Heart Demon, and the Barrier of Strength.
There was no trace of energy emanating from the three of them; they had become ordinary mortals.
Moreover, the Crimson Blood Venerable was nowhere to be seen, and the longsword in the hand of the Sword of Winter was also missing.
But as long as the person isn't dead, everything is fine.
"Aren't you happy to see your old friends from over a thousand years ago?"
Leo smiled, showing absolutely no trace of murderous intent. He truly resembled a prodigal son returning home after many years, reuniting with a childhood friend.
Unlike Leo's smile, all twenty-one Supreme Lord outside the spatial passage were energizing themselves, maintaining a state of high alert, and ready for the impending melee among the Supreme Lord.
Perhaps due to insufficient space, the ten Supreme Lord of the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World retreated slightly after the spatial passage reopened, almost moving out of their attack range.
" My Beast Blood Boiling! I wasn't wrong about you. You have indeed Supreme Lord. I must thank you for helping me back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to be resurrected."
Leo's gaze fell upon Beast Blood Boiling, and his laughter drew all suspicion to Beast Blood Boiling.
" Leo, explain yourself clearly. How did I help you?"
Beast Blood Boiling's face was even uglier than a pig's liver. He just couldn't understand why Leo always had to scheme against him and the Undying Body.
They're both so stupid, they fall for it every time!!
Feeling the gazes gathering around him, Beast Blood Boiling knew that if he didn't make things clear today, he really wouldn't be able to stay in the Wizard World anymore.
The Wizard World can tolerate them carrying doubts time and again, but it can't always be them.
They themselves suspected they were in cahoots with Leo.
What's even more despicable now is that Leo has directly pinned the blame for his resurrection on him; it's utterly shameless.
" Leo, we've been very good to you, why do you always scheme against us?"
Even the Undying Body was enraged. It had felt guilty for hundreds of years because of Leo's death, but this guy had the audacity to throw mud at them the moment he appeared.
"Don't you know?"
Leo feigned shock as he looked at the other Supreme Lord.
What should we know?
The Bloodline Controller asked in a deep voice, still unable to understand how Leo had been resurrected.
"Before you killed me, I left behind a fragment of my soul. That soul is hidden in the Endless Pot of Beast Blood Boiling that I gave to you. Otherwise, how could I have been resurrected? You agree, don't you?"
You are shameless.
Beast Blood Boiling was utterly enraged; it turned out that the Endless Pot he had been given was actually for resurrection.
Recalling how moved he was back then, his Beast Blood Boiling, and he wanted to smash Leo's shameless face.
How could someone scheme against others in their final moments? Shameless!
After all those years of working for him, is this the result I got?
His kindness had actually earned him this reward; he was about to rush into the spatial passage and beat Leo up.
"Don't come in. The Atomic Control the Power of Laws governing the entire Shadow Plane; you are no match for it."
Seeing the Beast Blood Boiling with rage, the Barrier of Strength immediately shouted.
Leo is invincible within the Shadow Plane; entering it is tantamount to suicide and would severely weaken the Wizard World's power.
The four of them being trapped here is enough; there's no need to let more people in.
The Undying Body, pulling back the rampaging Beast Blood Boiling, angrily asked Leo, "Did the Eye of Destruction you gave me also hide something?"
"We considered you a friend, and you actually plotted against us behind our backs. I must have been blind."
"Since you say you're blind, then give me back the Eye of Destruction."
Leo stretched out his palm to demand Eye of Destruction, almost causing the Undying Body to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I kill you."
The Undying Body wanted to rush into the Shadow Plane and have a good fight with Leo, but was stopped by the Beast Blood Boiling that had just calmed down.
Going in wouldn't be a match for Leo; it's not worth it!
Shameless
Utterly shameless!!!
"That's enough,"
The Bloodline Controller couldn't stand the bickering between Leo, Beast Blood Boiling, and the Undying Body; it all seemed like they were putting on an act to divert attention.
" Atomic Control, first of all, I should congratulate you on your ascension to Supreme Lord, but the matter between you and the Wizard World must be settled."
"That's right," Leo said.
"If you don't want the Shadow Plane to perish with you, release the Sword of Winter and the others."
"You intend to destroy the Shadow Plane?"
"As long as it can deal with you, it's just a Shadow Plane, which wasn't originally ours anyway," the Elemental Controller chuckled.
While their development accelerated considerably when the Shadow Plane existed, they remained the most powerful wizarding civilization even without Shadow Plane.
The Atomic Control is far more important than a Shadow Plane.
If they could capture Leo, they would lose everything!
"You seem to have forgotten something."
Leo extended a finger and waved it in front of each Supreme Lord.
"What is it?"
"You and the World Tree recently signed a non-aggression pact."
Countless black tentacles suddenly emerged from the Staff of Darkness in Leo's hand, spreading across the entire Shadow Plane.
Just as their eyes were fixed on Leo's Staff of Darkness, preparing to counter Leo's next attack, shouts rang out beside them.
"What's going on? I can't control myself anymore."
Suddenly, several branches on the World Tree not far from the Shadow Plane stretched out, creating a spatial rift in front of them. All the branches then extended into the Shadow Plane through the spatial rift.
The black tendrils on the Staff of Darkness spread across the entire Shadow World, and the branches of the World Tree spread across the entire Shadow Plane in the same manner.
Everyone could clearly see the World Tree extending deep into the Shadow Plane, like a net enveloping the entire Shadow Plane.
The Bloodline Controller's expression turned cold. Leo had actually used the World Tree to envelop the entire Shadow Plane to block their attack.
To prevent the World Tree from being a hidden force planted by Leo, they had previously signed a non-aggression pact with the World Tree, precisely to cut off the World Tree's assistance to Leo.
However, Leo now controls the World Tree and envelops the Shadow Plane. If they attack the Shadow Plane, they will inevitably attack the World Tree, violating the contract they signed previously.
The consequence of breaking the contract... death!
