--
The elimination of the Berserk Mountain God Empire had happened only yesterday.
For most people, that would have been enough.
One team had been completely erased from the Imperial Ranking War, and the remaining four teams had already been forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about the Heavenly Bronze Empire. After six months of survival, the confrontation had only just begun, and already one of the five Imperial Teams was gone.
For Ren, however, it was only the beginning.
He had never intended to stop after eliminating one team. The objective was simple from the beginning: eliminate every competitor as quickly as possible. The sooner the other teams were gone, the sooner the Heavenly Bronze Empire could stop worrying about being surrounded, stop wasting resources on constant vigilance, and ultimately secure the Imperial Ranking War without having to spend another several months fighting.
He had never hidden that intention from Lily.
