Atop the ash-white and gold pyramid, the black-robed figure holding the black Crystal Ball sensed the powerful, invisible aura erupting from below. A soft "TSK" escaped from beneath his hood.
Beside him, the blond-haired man wearing a platinum mask showed no change in expression. He merely watched, occasionally glancing down at the time. It was as if nothing happening before his eyes affected him; he was merely a silent bystander.
"You truly deserve to be their king. You really are much better than them..."
The black-robed figure lifted a hand from beneath his robe, casually pointing towards Lu Yuan's position as he spoke softly.
"What a... pleasant surprise."
As he pointed, the monster-like acolytes of the Ten Thousand God Temple surrounding the base of the pyramid stirred, as if they had received a command. The other black-robed figures remained still; their status appeared to be a tier higher.
