I'm here to retrieve something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand steward's eyes narrowed. \"Retrieve something? There's nothing here for you. If you're looking to purchase goods, the public counter is outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned cold as he added, \"You've already overstayed your welcome.

Save my sister! I beg you—surely you can bring her back to life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pleas grew more desperate as she bowed low, her forehead striking the ground with each motion until it was smeared with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel sighed softly. \"Stand up. I cannot bring your sister back. She is gone—truly and completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise's sobs grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel continued, \"However, I can retrieve her body from the secret realm if that's what you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise clung to his words like a lifeline. \"Yes! Yes, please! Thank you, Daniel Headmaster. That would mean everything to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Daniel vanished. Moments later, he returned with Imora's lifeless body. Seeing her sister again, even as a corpse, brought a fresh wave of tears to Elise's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you… Thank you, Daniel Headmaster,\" she whispered between sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at a different location, members of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawnlight Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanctuary of Extension\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>, and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were engaged in a tense discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were just about to leave,\" said a representative from Sanctuary of Extension coldly, clearly still irritated by recent events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should,\" a Dawnlight Empire prince retorted smugly. \"After all, retreating in fear of a mere artifact isn't exactly something worth sticking around for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better than dying in the secret realm,\" the elder from Sanctuary of Extension snapped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least Yesar stood tall until the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As tensions flared, a third voice interjected. \"Enough! The result is settled—Karea Academy has won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Dark Empire, known for its composure, had been shaken by the unexpected turns of the Battle for Dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result had taken everyone by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a calm, unfamiliar voice interrupted their argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dawnlight Empire, Sanctuary of Extension, Dark Empire… How convenient to find three of you together. Now, where can I find the Cult of Calamity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three turned to see a stranger approaching. Their confused glances exchanged silently.

Let me make it simple: I've grown tired of your meddling. Today, we're going to settle a few things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1077,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","76b4accb35e2ffb98d5c875c4ae5989e4a3d35ce14443642c1e788f542edb5a4","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-165","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-214",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
