“This is the issue.” James turned to stare intently at Emperor Yevgen. “A puppet controlled by Xanthakos Qadeer was powerful with just a trace of Nothingness Dead Energy. Imagine how formidable Xanthakos himself must be.”
“T-This…” Emperor Yevgen’s face twitched. “Are you saying that Emperor Qadeer has been feigning weakness and hiding his true strength all along?”
James nodded slightly.
“That doesn’t make sense.” Emperor Yevgen furrowed his brow. “If he was truly that powerful, why would he need to instigate a war across the Forty-Ninth Heaven? He could have simply killed Lord Goyo and a few Path Emperors to seize control.”
“That is another problem.” James clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed into slits. “Why would he use such roundabout methods if he has the strength to take what he wants directly?”
“He wants to divert attention,” the Divine Marius said with a cold snort. “By inciting chaos, he could involve all the powerhouses of the Forty-Ninth Heaven in the conflict, while he stealthily sought out Wuia Palace to seize the Path Designation Bead.
“With the bead in his possession, he would become the undisputed ruler of Haleth Realm, acting as the Path without the title.”
The Divine Marius then looked at Emperor Yevgen. “At that point, we, including our master and Lord Goyo, would be his subjects. Whether we live or die would be at his whim.”
Emperor Yevgen gasped after hearing this. “This is truly sinister!”
Just as his words fell, Emperor Xianelle, who had been trapped by James’ dozen Path characters, suddenly exploded with a thunderous crash. Her skeletal remains scattered, but James swiftly gathered them with a wave of his hand. He could not allow any bone to fall into the myriad realms, as it would cause untold harm.
“Stubborn fools!” The Divine Marius turned to James. “Master, kill them all. They are just a gas.”
James took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.
At that moment, a powerful voice echoed from the Terythor Universe. “Wait, James! If you kill all these Alcide beings, you will fall right into Xanthakos’ trap.”
Hearing this, James frowned. The Divine Marius and Emperor Yevgen turned towards the source of the voice. Their faces filled with astonishment.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
