Chapter 7194
Inside the Gate of Anonymous, Goyo's soul remained stagnant for a long time.
Suddenly, he sighed and said, "Xalvador was right. If we could provide enough time and resources for creatures to develop naturally, the Haleth Realm wouldn't need to rely on Alcide beings to guide them."
"What are the Five Path Emperors, supreme beings and deities? We created them b because of our self-righteousness and self- deception.
"Our original intention was to differentiate between right and wrong, good and evil, to guide creatures and benefit the Greater Realms. Yet, it has become a burden weighing upon the heads of these living beings and a shackle binding them.
"It would have been fine if we were simply unappreciated, but instead, we became hated by them, making them foster such resentment."
Goyo closed his eyes once more.
"Emperor Stavros was also on point. His words to the supreme beings in my temple were harsh but accurate.
"Us, Alcide beings are the true calamity of the Greater Realms and an obstruction to them. The realms should be returned to them. They should be the ones to determine their own fates.
Goyo opened his eyes and looked directly at James. "However, if we relinquish control over the Greater Realms, are you confident in managing and dealing with everything that is to come?"
James frowned slightly but chose to remain silent.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Thea interjected, "Lord Goyo, are you concerned that my husband cannot defeat Xanthakos, or are you worried that Xanthakos will seize everything?"
Goyo took a deep breath before responding with a laugh, "You should direct these questions at your husband. After all, he boldly declared to handle the Alcide beings first before dealing with Xanthakos."
Thea turned to James and declared, "With my husband's current strength, killing him should not be a problem."
Goyo lifted his head and burst into laughter, filled with scorn and derision.
Thea was about to respond but was silenced by James' gesture.
After a brief pause, Goyo said solemnly, "Do you truly understand Xanthakos? Do you comprehend the kind of scourge he represents? Do you know the depths of his deceit and cruelty?"
Thea and James exchanged glances, their silence profound.
"Think about it. I am the leader of the Five Path Emperors, with prestige and strength only inferior to Waitara Path and Taiyi. Yet, I fell prey to his schemes and machinations. What you see isn't everything."
Thea and James remained silent.
Goyo said gravely, "We've been defeated. However, it's not time to be celebrating, believing this victory was through your efforts alone. Xanthakos' plotting and schemes contributed greatly to this outcome. Had I not been infected by his Nothingness Dead Energy, I wouldn't have been so easily defeated."
Thea glanced at James again, but James extended his hand suddenly, drawing Goyo's physical body from the void toward him. Upon careful examination, James was stunned to discover that Goyo had been affected by Xanthakos's Void Death energy. His powers were suppressed and he could not utilize them to their fullest potential. At most, he could only fight with 30% of his real strength.
James realized he might not have been victorious if he were to have faced Goyo in his prime.
