Sword God in a World of Magic

"Then, what's even the point of this entire conversation?" Shang asked.

"If everything is hopeless to begin with, and all of existence is doomed to die to the Abominations either way, what point would any of my actions have?"

The Lightning Emperor looked with a complicated expression at Shang.

He realized that he had painted a very bleak picture. While he didn't think that everything would be hopeless and meaningless in that case, he could see that wanting an answer from Shang for such a hypothetical would be intellectually dishonest for judging his actual character.

In the end, the Lightning Emperor was kind of relieved by Shang's answers.

Shang was a very dark person with very dark desires, but he was still far better than King Sanctified Death.

Even more, even if Shang were… it didn't matter.

Maybe, he wasn't even the first…

The Lightning Emperor felt the conflict of his emotions rising more and more, but he just pushed everything to the side again.

"Please, contact Sarah regarding the war. I will deal with all the opponents you will need. The best thing you can do is to buy us enough time to survive to the next phase of the war," the Lightning Emperor said in an effort to end the conversation.

Shang just nodded wordlessly.

The next moment, a portal opened in front of Shang that led to his Isolation Barrier to the north of Aterium, and Shang walked through it.

When Shang arrived, he looked at his fake left arm again for a second before contacting the Starlight Queen.

"You're back, Young Master Shang," she said with a polite tone.

"I am," Shang answered. "Is there anything you need me to do?"
