"I am ready".
"…"
"…"
"…..!"
Ti seed to freeze across the Minerva Star System.
Multiple races across the Minerva Star System were watching the broadcast, billions of people watched and they were captivated by that last speech.
Gaufrid did a good job with his speech.
Watching him, all the beasts felt sad but none of them felt a spirit of rebellion rising in them as the words of their leader settled into their head.
'Do not taint my legacy by being another version of …'
'Prove to them that we are as sentient as they are!'
Billions of beasts spread across the Minerva Star System felt different emotions ranging from sadness to frustration, billions cried on behalf of their savior as they watched him bend the knee before the sword.
On his knees, Gaufrid faced the cara again.
"Do not cry because its ending, be happy because it happened".
"Let take all the stigma of the beast fate with to the afterworld".
"With my death, let all beasts be reborn to a new fate".
Gaufrid took his eyes away from the cara as he looked down. 'Ancestor…, are you watching?'
He shook in excitent. 'I hope I perford to your expectations'.
'I hope I was the savior that you hoped for'.
'I'm glad I got to know you'.
The Demonic Lion finally closed his eyes.
Thud! Thud!
The footsteps reverberated as the executioner walked closer.
He was a hefty Nak warrior carrying a giant executioner sword, this warrior had been inford of his task since long ago and he was prepared for it.
As he walked closer though, Gaufrid opened his eyes again and looked.
Not at the Nak warrior, but at Legolas.
"Complete what you started…, please".
"…" Legolas' heart skipped a beat.
"Be my executioner". Gaufrid demanded.
"Send on my journey to go et Ancestor".
"Be the one who executes Duhkha".
"…" Legolas had a poker look on his face but a lot of things went through his mind as his heart began beating faster.
This was the worse case scenario that he hoped against.
'If I personally execute their leader, those Beast Priests won't forgive '. His thought process briefly halted when his ga interface lit up with a notification.

"…!" Legolas' eyes widened into saucers as he saw this notification.
'Holy sh*t!'
'Killing the Beast King increases my favorability with the beast race?!'
'Damn…, how does that even work?'
Legolas was amazed but he did not let his shock show on his face even as Gaufrid's eyes kept on looking into his own eyes.
The next mont, the Obsidian Spear materialized out of his inventory.
Thud!
This spear's sharp blade landed with a thud.
Seeing his actions, Gaufrid smiled again. "Thank you".
This beast finally closed his eyes and embraced his death.
Legolas took short steady steps as he went closer to his target. On arriving there, he looked down at the leader of the Beast Empire and Beast Coalition one last ti before raising his spear high into the air.
"In the na of freedom, I set you free".
Legolas raised his pitch-black spear up before swinging it hard.
WHOM!
The spear cut through the air with power.
The Beast King was finally about to be executed.
Duhkha was about to beco history.
Gaufrid was finally about to beco the symbol that he always wanted but just before the spear could hit its target, a foreign power erupted.
The fire erupted and tore through the shield surrounding the Beast Emperor's palace almost instantly as it enveloped the executioner the next mont, Legolas instantly felt all his danger instincts tingle.
He felt powerless as the indomitable fire energy completely suppressed him.
"Ah…, Legolas Baron, finally, we et". A voice reverberated.
"This place is noisy, let's go to a quieter place to discuss".
BZZZ!
The fire disappeared.
