Sword God in a World of Magic

So, this was it, huh?

This was the fate of the world.

As the most powerful being in the world, Shang had made hisjudgment.

The world would reset in a thousand years.

In a thousand years, everything that was alive would die.

The world would transform into a lifeless and dead planet.

By now, Abaddon had regained his usual confident calm, and he could only smile happily.

He would get what he had always wished for.

Abaddon had comprehended every single Concept in existence except for the level six Concepts of Life and Death.

With those two, Abaddon would finally know all of them.

He would know how all of Aterium worked.

Maybe, he could even build his own Aterium in the future?

Maybe, he could change how his own Aterium worked?

Now that Abaddon was at the cusp of understanding everything, he wanted to look further.

There had to be ways to increase the power of his own world.

But to find that answer, Abaddon needed to learn the two last Concepts first.

Kali had also calmed down by now, and she had accepted Shang's power.

Right now, she was only happy that she hadn't truly betrayed Shang.

Yes, during the fight, she had only involved herself very late, essentially dooming Shang.

However, that actually couldn't be considered a betrayal. After all, Shang had never asked for help, and he had even wanted to fight all the Emperors on his own.

Kali had simply done what Shang had wanted.

Naturally, Shang had realized what had been going through everyone's heads back then.

He knew that Kali wanted to use this opportunity to

get rid of him.
