than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang and Abaddon flew forward, stopping around 550,000 kilometers away from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benign,\" Gregorio said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Emperors looked at Gregorio with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Benign?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was he suddenly backpedaling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Judgment Palace had been the biggest enemy of the Lightning Manor, and King Sanctified Death was the biggest rival and enemy of the warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Gregorio want this fight to be benign?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision was up to Kali, and she was not someone that easily spared someone's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Shang without Gregorio being able to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali didn't immediately answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she thought back to her talks with herson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her son was the one in charge now, and she simply followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her son had already made her decision for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she only needed to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benign,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors couldn't believe what they had just heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Benign?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had agreed to a benign fight?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would they do that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors immediately started to rapidly discuss what was happening with voice transmissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they were also coming up with new plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not certain what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were both sides not confident in victory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took almost five seconds before another word was spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Start,\" lsis Neweston announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Shang and Abaddon focused on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it's finally time, huh?\" Abaddon transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is,\" Shang answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you found your way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have,\" Shang transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Abaddon transmitted with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Abaddon and Shang were talking, the Emperors were rapidly coming up with more plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the two would die, but both still needed the Mana to reach the Ninth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that they would still need to fight, and if everything worked out, both of them would be extremely weakened by the end of the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were not hopeless yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at the two combatants with rapt attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How powerful were the two of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I concede?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Shang had conceded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had he conceded?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were supposed to fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang slowly flew back to Gregorio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregorio, Shang, Kali, and Abaddon didn't seem surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the other Emperors were still in shock, Kali had covertly flown over to Gregorio's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no longer any reason to keep their alliance a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Shang would only concede like this if they were secretly allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone would immediately make the connecfion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors immediately looked at Kali, who was now near Gregorio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They almost couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this had started because of a conflict between these two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they be allies?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this had started with Kali killing Queen Primordium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Gregorio had killed two of Kali's Mage Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Gregorio and Kali had fought, which ended in huge parts of the Judgment Palace getting destroyed, and even Kali's husband, the Emperor of Life, Adam, had died!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, their two Empires had warred fiercely, and the Judgment Palace had paid an incredible price during the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Mage Kings and millions of lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mana that would allow the winner to become a Mage Emperor was the very Mana that Kali's husband left behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, these two were suddenly allies?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Emperors also realized why Abaddon and Kali had spoken up for Shang during the Grand Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they had already been allies back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had all of thisjust been a farce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gregorio had always said that he disagreed with allowing Abaddon to become a Mage Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors were quite certain that Gregorio hadn't lied back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali had always despised Gregorio, and Gregorio had always despised King Sanctified Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this made no sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, King Sanctified Death also floated over to his three allies, stopping at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When King Sanctified Death stopped, the Emperors finally realized how all of this had been possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, King Sanctified Death stood at the front with Shang a bit behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregorio and Kali were behind both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that was how!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali and Gregorio were not the ones making the decisions anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was up to Abaddon and Shang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by the looks of things, Abaddon had managed to convince Shang tojoin his camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I don't want to rush you or anything, but I'm a bit excited for my reward,\" Abaddon spoke with a polite voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors all looked at him, and in an instant, the atmosphere turned tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when?\" Linastra Boomwitch asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, none of the Emperors knew that Linastra had alsojoined Gregorio and Kali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even Linastra had had no idea that the camp she had chosen was actually far stronger than she had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she remembered that her life was connected to Shang, she grew fearful and nervous again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't Shang know what kind of person King Sanctified Death was?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he became a Mage Emperor, he would immediately kill Shang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Shang died, Linastra would die as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's save that for after the reward,\" King Sanctified Death said politely as he stretched out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperors all floated closer to each other as they glared at their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire reason why they were even holding this tournament was that Gregorio would unleash the Archivist otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Gregorio was now their enemy, there was no longer a reason to keep to the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, they wouldn't hand over the reward for winning the tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did, they would just be committing suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Mana Shields appeared around the Emperors' bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Sanctified Death just scratched the side of his head awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I presume this means I am not getting my reward?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Emperors gathered their Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final battle had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-06T04:07:30.030Z",1,"novelbin.me","67b07e729144f1a506ba700d7f93f68d2af1a598ea205cdbc1c466d9a8711b54","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-652","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-801",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
