Lu Yin looked down at the wounded man in a condescending manner. “You managed to escape in the Cosmic Sea, but that was only because God of Magenta let you escape. This time, it’s over for you.”
Jin Mie’s face twitched, and he answered in a hoarse voice, “I can submit to you.”
Lu Yin lifted his head to look into the distance where God of Magenta was trying to fight against the Second Nightking and escape. However, the difference between the two’s strength was simply too vast. Even if God of Magenta was one of Xia Ji’s clones that had cultivated Truesight to the point where he possessed a power level of almost a million, it still was not enough to stand up to the Second Nightking.
A power level of almost a million was completely different from actually achieving a power level of a million. This clone of Xia Ji’s was simply too weak.
However, even if God of Magenta was not the Second Nightking’s opponent, his mastery of both the Knowing and Infinity realms of Truesight allowed him to drag out the fight with the Second Nightking.
“Come with me.” The Second Nightking’s overwhelming power swept out, and God of Magenta was pushed to his limit. He was about to fall.
Suddenly, a candle emerged, and God of Magenta lit it. The entire area was instantly filled with runes that were entirely under God of Magenta’s control, and he shot a vicious attack at the Second Nightking.
Lu Yin’s expression changed, and he shouted, “Retreat!”
He was able to see that the number of runes that had appeared were basically at the Semi-Progenitor level.
The Second Nightking also sensed the danger that had suddenly appeared despite not being able to see the number of runes. The oppressive sense of danger caused him to continuously retreat, and as he did so, a tear appeared in space.
God of Magenta turned to shoot Lu Yin a vicious glare. A Netherworld River appeared beneath the man’s feet, and he reached for the candle, clearly trying to flee.
Lu Yin arched a brow, and an astral chessboard reappeared beneath his feet. It spread out until it was also beneath God of Magenta’s feet. Lu Yin was not trying to move himself, as not even the Second Nightking was strong enough to stand up to the level of strength of the runes that had just appeared. There was no chance Lu Yin would be able to either.
He just wanted to steal that candle.
God of Magenta grabbed the candle with a hand and then turned around to flee. At this moment, Lu Yin’s eyes snapped wide open: Ce Secret Art: Board Manipulation.
Inexplicably, God of Magenta moved back where he had just been, and he let go of the candle he had just grabbed.
He was utterly stunned by this change.
Time had not changed, but space had. The attack that God of Magenta had released with the candle had only lasted for a split second, but as that attack ended, God of Magenta had failed to escape and had even failed to grab the candle.
Lu Yin yelled, “Second Nightking!”
The Second Nightking spun around and pointed a finger forward: Nightking Advent Immortal Finger. The cold froze even space.
God of Magenta was absolutely furious. He wanted to take that candle with him, but the Second Nightking had already attacked. God of Magenta could not afford to hesitate, not even to take that candle. However, it was also impossible for him to escape on his own.
In a moment of desperation, the man lit the candle to release the explosion of runes again and then turned and fled with the Netherworld River in his hand.
It was impossible for God of Magenta’s speed to compare to the Second Nightking’s, but the Netherworld River compensated for the difference.
Even though Lu Yin also had a Netherworld River, it only could increase his speed to match the Second Nightking’s, which meant that it would be of no use at all to the Second Nightking.
Furthermore, God of Magenta had released a second attack from the candle to create an opening to use to escape.
There was nothing that Lu Yin could do in this situation. In the end, God of Magenta was one of Xia Ji’s clones, and such a powerhouse would never be easy to trap.
The Second Nightking was unwilling to see someone with a power level of less than a million escape, as it was humiliating for someone at his level.
From beginning to the end, God of Mirrors was merely a spectator, never doing anything more than suppressing God of Wind.
Lu Yin did not care about Envoys like God of Wind, as he could easily handle such people with a single casual attack.
Lu Yin was instead focused on the candle that was still burning in space, staring at it in amazement. It was able to release such an incredible number of runes the moment is was lit; just what was it?
God of Mirrors was also looking at the candle with a strong desire.
Lu Yin saw that, so he stretched out a hand. The candle was extinguished, and it fell into Lu Yin’s hand. He then calmly put it away and turned to face Jin Mie.
God of Mirrors opened his mouth to say something, only to find that he did not know how to phrase what he wanted to say.
All four of Jin Mie’s limbs had been crippled, so he was lying on the floor in a miserable manner. His eyes radiated fear, showing his desire to not die.
Lu Yin’s indifferent eyes looked down at the man.
Long ago, Xia Ji and the Ignition Crew had built up a blood debt by targeting people with the Lu surname and ending seventy two lives. Jin He had already died, and the Ignition crew had been wiped out. At this moment, Lu Yin had Jin Mie in his hands, which left only Xia Ji.
“Alliance Leader Lu, I surrender to you and will become a part of your Great Eastern Alliance! I’m far from weak, as you already know,” Jin Mie said. His words were cut short, and his voice was weak. He was literally begging, as he did not want to die.
All the man had ever wanted to do was reach a higher level of mastery of Truesight. This was the reason why he had not hesitated to betray Gods’ Origin and had even risked his life to sneak into God of Flames’ seclusion area. Jin Mie was nothing if not persistent in pursuing his ambition.
“You traitor! First you betrayed my Gods’ Origin, and now you want to betray Xia Ji and submit to Alliance Leader Lu? What next? Will you betray the Great Eastern Alliance? Alliance Leader Lu, don’t believe a thing that he says!” God of Mirrors quickly spoke up as soon as Jin Mie started begging. Someone who could change sides so casually would make anyone nervous.

Jin Mie’s voice grew firm. “Xia Ji and I were only ever using each other, and I didn’t even know that I was working with him at first. Ji Qiang was the person who asked me to work with him, and he told me to help him destroy Leon’s Armada. I never imagined that he was actually Xia Ji from the very start. There was something else to his plans, and the Semi-Progenitor was just using me. As for Gods’ Origin, I only ever wanted to gain a greater mastery of Truesight. I would never have betrayed you all, but you forced me!”
God of Mirrors became furious. “You’re a traitor, and yet you still have the gall to blame us? You stole a treasure from Gods’ Origin and even sneaked into God of Flames’ seclusion area! How do you explain that?”
Jin Mie gritted his teeth. “Stole a treasure? I never touched any treasure that’s the God of Flames’.”
God of Mirrors frowned. “What are you talking about?”
Lu Yin turned to look at Jin Mie.
Jin Mie was breathing heavily, and he coughed a few times before he replied. Blood was dripping out of the corner of his mouth. “I- I snuck into God of Flames’ training place, but God of Flames was not there! I’m not lying! God of Flames disappeared a long time ago, and all that was left was a candle.”
God of Mirrors looked over at Lu Yin, who pulled out the candle that he had just grabbed. “This candle?”
Jin Mie nodded and turned to face God of Mirrors. “You can’t have forgotten why God of Flames was called God of Flames, right?”
Lu Yin glanced over. God of Mirrors’ expression instantly changed, and he forced himself to explain when he noticed Lu Yin’s eyes. “He is called God of Flames because his innate gift is a candle. When that candle is lit, it lights up the world. That’s why he’s called God of Flames.”
Jin Mie agreed, “That’s right! But God of Flames hasn’t been in seclusion at all, as only that candle was left in his training location. I believe that he caused himself to be erased while training Truesight, reduced to only the candle you see here.”
Lu Yin looked at the candle in his hand and felt a moment of panic; was this thing God of Flames?
