Albion's thoughts did not linger on the topic as he shifted his gaze and looked into the depths of the void beyond the command center's clear screen with an indecipherable expression, affecting Polemos's mood to also beco solemn.
"What's the situation on the three Horsen? Have you been keeping track of their movents?" Albion asked impassively.
"Yes, my Lord." Polemos nodded solemnly.
"After hacking in their private network, their actions have never left my sight since half a year ago. However, just the other day, all my hidden spyware was suddenly destroyed. Evidently, they have been uneasy and more cautious ever since you revealed your absolute might to the world, my Lord."
"They destroyed all your hidden spyware at the sa ti, huh? Seems like your so-called hidden spyware weren't so hidden after all," Albion casually remarked.
"Yes, my Lord." Polemos nodded before adding, "However, they were just decoys. I knew that they have planted spyware of their own to counterspy , so I planted another spyware to counterspy their counterspying."
"However, they also knew about this, so they have also planted another spyware to counterspy my counterspying that I planted to counterspy their counterspying—"
"Enough!"
Albion thundered before rubbing his forehead with distress, feeling an incoming headache from listening to Polemos's roundabout explanation.
He had a feeling that the mother f*cker would go on forever if he did not stop him.
After frowning slightly, Albion barked, "Just get to the point."
"Ahem. My apologies for taking up your precious ti, my Lord." Polemos coughed awkwardly before he continued, "Basically, I have always been one step ahead of them, my Lord."
"And how does that answer my question? What are the other three Horsen up to?"
"Right, my apologies again, my Lord," Polemos apologized again before wearing a solemn look.
"Empress Una is residing in Ashura Group's headquarters, situated in Haven City, seemingly unconcerned with your return—but in truth, she is secretly seeking a closer connection with the Federation through the World Governnt."
"Emperor Thanatos's traces have disappeared after destroying my spyware, but I managed to track his last known location through the satellite. He seed to be looking for an opportunity in the Ancient Whispering Rainforest."
"Similarly, Emperor Kasin went looking for his opportunity in the Grand Sahara Desert. I'm not sure why these two went two these two perilous lands, but I'm willing to bet that they have obtained so valuable information regarding the lost treasures of ancient tis."
"Are you finally planning to take action against these three traitors, my Lord?" Polemos asked shortly after his explanation.
"Hm, nah. I was just curious."
Albion responded nonchalantly, imdiately stunning Polemos before the person took a mont to recover before asking with doubt, "Wouldn't it be wiser to kill them before they are given a chance to grow, my Lord?"
"I already have the ultimate power in this world. Them growing a little bit stronger poses no threat to whatsoever. More importantly, don't you think it will be too easy on them if I were to grant them a swift death after they betrayed ?"
"Besides, they have beco pillars of the current world. If they all die, the world will fall into chaos, and many people will undoubtedly die," Albion stated.
"Um, I'm not sure I follow, but it seems like my Lord is showing concern for the people. As expected of my Lord. The world is yours, and the people are naturally all your subjects. To show compassion even for your enemies, this subordinate is in awe of—"
"Three of the Four Horsen seats have been vacant since the betrayal of the three. I believe the best way to have my revenge would be to raise even stronger Horsen than them and have them kill the traitors for ," Albion stated before Polemos could finish speaking.
Shortly after, Albion added, "Don't you think they would deeply regret their choices of betraying after understanding what they have missed out on at the monts of their death?"
"I see…" Polemos's lips twitched before his eyes suddenly flickered with a thought, "Then, Junior Wudi will be…?"
"He is a suitable candidate for one of the empty seats, but I will have to observe him for a bit longer. For now, go summon him for . I will be bringing him with on a short trip back to Earth," Albion stated coolly.
"Understood, my Lord," Polemos complied before turning to a subordinate and ordered, "You, go bring my junior, Cao Wudi, over here for ."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The subordinate answered and left to carry out the task given, no questions asked.
Suddenly, there a commotion broke out within the command center.
"Your Majesty, the aliens have mounted a sudden attack and breached our first line of defense in the asteroid belt!" A subordinate suddenly shouted, causing Polemos to frown slightly.
"Show !"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At the sa ti, Albion raised his head to look at the situation shortly displayed on-screen before he casually offered his help, "Do you want to resolve this problem for you, Polemos?"
"No, my Lord!" Polemos shook his head before patting his chest proudly, "Such a small matter does not require your personal intervention. If I cannot even deal with a trivial matter like this, then I would be unworthy of my seat as one of the Horsen!"
"Well, alright. Suit yourself."
Albion shrugged nonchalantly. He was too lazy to do it anyway.
He flipped out his phone and began surfing the net for news pertaining to recent events in Silvercove City to kill ti while he waited.
Not long after, Cao Wudi arrived with the previous subordinate before he asked, "Senior Polemos, what did you need for—"
Cao Wudi's expression imdiately froze upon spotting Albion standing next to Polemos. Shortly after, his body shook with a bad feeling.
"I didn't call for you. The Lord did," Polemos stated truthfully before Cao Wudi turned to Albion.
"Master, what did you call for? Please don't tell we are going to train! No, no, no. Anything but that—!"
"We are back to Earth to deal with so things."
"Oh… Phew, safe," Cao Wudi patted his chest with relief.
But before he could fully feel relieved, Albion's lip curved into a sly and wicked smile, "We can begin your training after that."
Cao Wudi's expression froze before becoming appalled shortly after as he began refusing vehently, "God, No! Please, Master! No, no, nooo! I don't wanna go!"
