As Colleen’s punch imbued with the Cyrosthysis rule power was about to freeze him with his surroundings, Henricks vanished into thin air. His movement wasn’t just fast it was more than that, an action that did not even utilize a fraction of a second, it was instantaneous. As a fraction of a second passed Colleen’s punch had frozen the area where Henricks vanished into a huge glacier.
Colleen’s punches were fast, it took it almost less than a fraction of a second to freeze her target into a glacier. Unfortunately, for her this time her opponent was Henricks, whose movements were instantaneous.
Escaping from Colleen’s attack Henricks appeared next to Joy who was surrounded by demigods with no way to retreat, and then both of them vanished even before, Colleen’s eyes could move to their spot. Next Henricks and Joy appeared behind Colleen’s clone who was carrying Wyatt to the Royal palace grounds. Henricks destroyed the clone by precisely piercing his arm through its head, Joy immediately caught Wyatt in her embrace and they vanished from the Southern capital even before the the demigods surrounding them and Colleen could respond.
Seeing Henricks and Joy kidnap Wyatt, Colleen does not get enraged instead orders the demigods to disperse while asking them to hold off from reporting back to their posts at the Way Beyond until the Southern Royal family does something about the city’s protection array formation. Then she looked at her fist, thinking that her strength was still far from facing the top demigods in the world.
To the demigods in Colleen’s surroundings, her actions looked as if she did not appear to care that Wyatt was kidnapped by Freedom Fighters. However, none raised a voice of concern and returned to their post in the city. guarding it from any form of outside threats.

“You lost, remember to make do with your words. Next time I am forced to come here, I will not be as generous and understanding as this time around,” A majestic voice resounded from the figure in the clouds before turning to leave.
“…” Arnas’s master quietly glared at the vanishing back of the majestic figure in the clouds with tightly clenched fists, his figures digging into his palm and blood with a golden glow oozing out from them.
“Buddy, you lost big this time,” Jill’s father said with a little chuckle as if taking pleasure in his friend’s loss.
“Shut up!” In a fit of rage, Arnas’s master cussed Jill’s father. Making it clear that he was in no mood for jokes of any sort.
“Okay, I will shut up. What will you tell to other masters? It will be hard for even you to make them shut up,” Jill’s father reminded this friend his misery was far from done, it had just begun.
“I don’t need you to worry for me, I can handle them,” Arnas’s master said as he deeply contemplated his next course of action.
“Tell me again what did you him if you lost?” Jill’s father asked his friend genuinely trying to understand how badly his friend lost.
“Tsk,” Arnas’s master reluctantly recalled the event that transpired an hour ago.
As Arnas’s master and Jill’s father moved to the skies of the secret base to greet the uninvited guest, as they had previously guessed their guest that crashed the airspace of their secret base was none other than the current ruler of the Southern Region and the current patriarch of the Heatsend Royal family, Anna’s grandfather.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Seeing him leave his post at the Way Beyond and pay the secret base a visit in person, Arnas’s master and Jill’s father felt a chill on their back.
However, their shock had not ended yet, because their respective informants at the Way Beyond immediately reported back to them that the Ruler of the Southern region never left his post at the Way beyond.
Learning this, both the friends looked at the figure in front of them in shock because its soul energy signature was the same as the ruler of the south, and it portrayed a strength that neither of them could gauge. Only to hear the figure say, “Don’t worry, unlike you, I am a man of my word. I promised to personally guard the Way Beyond for a century I will guard it for a century, if there need be even a few more decades but no less. Besides, I do not need my original body to awaken the sleeping fear of the Unparalleled bloodline in you, my incarnation is enough for that.”
Listening to the arrogant words of the ruler of the south both the friends were pissed but what enraged them further was the fact that they were mocked by the incarnation of the Southern Ruler and not his original body. They recalled attending his first birthday, and him soiling himself in his crib, but today that very same toddler had grown to the point where he could openly threaten them.
That was the power of the Unparalleled bloodline. Giving the Heatsend family the right to become one of the royal families in equal standing with the central government.
Even though the words of the Southern Ruler’s incarnation had hurt their pride, Arnas’s master and Jill’s father choose to be level-headed. They did not engage in an argument or a battle with the Southern Rulers’ incarnation. As even if either of them won against his incarnation it would not bring them any benefit but if they were to lose to it, then only boundless shame awaited them that they lost to the incarnation of the Southern ruler. Therefore, they controlled their anger and stayed level-headed throughout the situation knowing that the Incarnation was here trying to provoke them.
“Before, you start to play dumb. Let me make it clear, withdraw all your forces from the Southern Capital this instant or else…”
