Aloros casually spoke, instantly imprisoning rston where she stood. He glanced at rston:
"My dear aunt, all these years, you have remained stagnant. Your Pathway shows no progress, and with such a state, how can you defend the country well?"
"He is your brother." rston only said, "Aloros, don't make choose... Family conflict only leads to mutual destruction."
Aloros laughed.
He pointed at Li Aozi:
"Look at what you're saying, aunt—as you spent thirty-seven years guarding this waste. And what about ? Have you ever thought about where I've been all these years? While you enjoyed the comforts of castles and indulged in banquets, I lived a life of blades and blood."
rston pursed her lips, feeling apologetic:
"I'm sorry, I've been searching for you, but..."
"There's no need to say more."
Aloros waved his hand, and rston was instantly ensnared by the tangible bind of Word Spirit that wrapped around her body.
"I think you've misunderstood sothing."
Aloros stopped hiding his demigod influence, his skin turned porcelain-like. He kept his hands behind him; his body gradually increased in height to over fifty ters, standing like a majestic iron tower, Divine Power reverberated:
"Calling you Brother King is only for the sake of our shared blood, that's why I'm willing to talk to you."
Aloros, now transford into a Giant God, sprouted six pairs of arms behind him, clustering like wings. A halo-like light moved behind his head, an invisible pressure enveloped the ground, making even Oshen and others in the audience seats unable to look directly at him.
This is a demigod.
rston looked at the true form Aloros displayed, lowered her head, and fell silent.
She had no choice but to admit, Aloros was right; for four decades she had guarded Li Aozi like a nanny, pouring all her love into the child, and the matter of Pathway cultivation naturally fell behind.
Aloros is very strong.
If not for the title of Feng Qing, supported silently by the Strength of Border Abyss, rston was certain the opponent could defeat her with just a glance.
But... why?
Clearly possessing such strong influence, why seize his brother's possessions?
You already have talent, have the ancestral foundation, why take away the Empire your brother painstakingly built over half his life?
rston didn't understand, and she couldn't probe a demigod more powerful than herself.
All these years, she neglected her cultivation, while Aloros had surpassed the level as [Lord Ao Sha].
Such a powerful figure, why remain unknown in Border Abyss for all those years?
"I've hinted at you ti and again, but you keep playing smart, pretending to understand nothing—that's called being shaless. But, since you're my brother."
Aloros questioned one last ti:
"I'm giving you one more chance, Brother King."
"Either, relinquish the emperor's throne, quietly leave the Empire, I will find a safe and prosperous fiefdom for you, beco a prince, and peacefully spend your twilight years."
"Or, I will personally take back what belongs to from you."
Divine might surged overwhelmingly, a voice like Heavenly Thunder, reverberating with Divine Power in one's bones; if confronted by Aloros, anyone not firm in Will or weak in Strength might be shattered into pieces by a single word.
Li Aozi stood where he was, he turned his head and looked at the audience on the stage.
Aloros wasn't simply here to threaten him, the Life Force he released turned the entire arena's audience into hostages for the other side.
Li Aozi imdiately realized this:
Clearly, Aloros ca with a purpose.
Seizing the throne was secondary, the missing second son for so many years, taken by those n in white armor, not only survived but beca a demigod, now erged to contest the throne. Any normal person would think it's secretly orchestrated by dostic opposition strategists.
But, Li Aozi knew that's impossible.
Those openly opposing him are alive, allowing criticism without harm, showing oneself broad-minded, highlighting Oxiulia's atmosphere of freedom and openness.
Yet those daring opposition in secret, even if just writing a line or two in their diaries, have already had their Souls Return to the Nether Abyss.
Therefore, Aloros couldn't be from dostic forces.
Narrative? That's even more incorrect; all these years, even the Void maintains basic diplomatic relations with Li Aozi.
[Society] Side? Not impossible, but unlikely, after all, [Society] Side mbers couldn't cultivate a demigod from the Starry Abyss Side—except Redd Gold.
As for Redd... hmm, very possible.
Li Aozi thought about it, couldn't find a suitable subject.
He glanced at Aunt rston, asked:
"Aunt, if he hits , can I fight back?"
Aunt rston was stunned.
All these years, she always watched over Li Aozi, never once did she hear Li Aozi speak such words.
In rston's eyes, Li Aozi had no talent whatsoever, moreover, he had been subjected to Life Sacrifice, a child with a short life span, now 37 years old, unsure how many more years he could endure. In the early days cultivating the Pathway of Destroyer, Li Aozi couldn't even generate Qi Energy.
He usually disliked exercise, apart from work, his hobbies included reading scriptures, writing calligraphy, and alchemy.
Such a man, weak and nearly at the end of his life, actually said, if a demigod hits him, could he fight back?
