Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang remained silent for a while.

Abaddon also didn't say anything.

Nearly half a minute passed.

"Tell me," Shang said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't," Abaddon answered. "You need to understand that I can't put all my trust in you. Trusting someone like you would be just as stupid as trusting someone like me."

"Okay, what's your plan?" Shang asked.

"First, I use my influence to give you a chance to win at the grand tournament," Abaddon said. "Then, we are going to fight at the Mage Emperor tournament."

"I am going to lose in the battle and concede. Before any of the other Emperors can do anything, mother will hand you the Inheritor Sphere, and you will absorb it to reach the Ninth Realm immediately."

"The other Emperors will immediately attack. They don't care that you have won. They are going to try to kill you regardless."

"The Lightning Emperor, mother, and I are going to fight the other Mage Emperors."

"I am going to kill one and get my Mana. We will both reach the Ninth Realm and with the Lightning Emperor helping us, the Archivist won't get out."

"We kill the Mage Emperors and become Gods. Mother and the Lightning Emperor will survive, and I will destroy the world. Mother, you, and I will comprehend the level six Concept of Death. I resurrect the world to comprehend the level six Concept of Life."

"Then, we leave and search for a greater world."

"That's my plan."

Shang remained silent for a while.

"What about the Abominations?" Shang asked.

"I don't care," Abaddon said. "As long as you keep them at bay until I get a chance to resurrect the world, I don't care. You can go destroy it after that if you want. Who knows, maybe we can learn even more by witnessing that?"

Shang thought for a while about everything.
