Sword God in a World of Magic

Several minutes later, the Lightning Emperor told Shang that he had heard enough.

By now, it became harder and harder to find rationalizations for Shang suffering from delusions.

"And why did he bring you to Aterium?" he asked.

"Entertainment," Shang said.

"Entertainment?"

"Entertainment."

"Please elaborate."

"He told me that his world is filled with nothing but Mages and that the battles between Mages are the most boring to watch. He said that they just throw Spells at each other for hours at a time."

"He said that the world was supposed to entertain him, but with all these Mages, it wasn't very entertaining."

"That was why he summoned me and a couple of others."

"He needed people with certain mindsets and with a lot of creativity. He created bodies for us that made it impossible for us to focus on Magic. By now, I know that he got rid of something in my soul that transports the majority of my Mana into my mind. The Custodian has already fixed that."

"He wants us to create more Paths and make them more powerful so that there would be more diversity in his world."

"And the best way to start was to make the new warrior Path that appeared in Area 23 stronger."

"He sent me to Area 23, and that's where it all started," Shang explained.

The Lightning Emperor took a deep breath.

It was like the entire world was being turned upside down for him.

How had he never heard of this God?

How could someone like that stay secret for so long?

Was this truly the person that ruled over this world?

By now, the Lightning Emperor had nearly no doubts left.
