Matthias still held onto a sliver of hope, but his mood soured instantly when he heard that Ezekiel had no intention to intervene.

What good was a sachet against Zeus?

They were facing one of the strongest beings in the world.

Zeus was also an ultimate grandmaster at the peak of his strength. He could crush a missile with his bare hands or cleave a destroyer in half with a single strike.

Cassius caught the doubt in Matthias’ eyes but didn’t comment. Instead, he smiled and said, “Whether it’s useful or not, you will know once you open it, Your Highness.

Matthias scowled. “Let’s see what makes this sachet so special.”
