Sword God in a World of Magic

Lucius' right eyebrow twitched in suppressed anger.

"It wasn't me that messed it up," he said with a dark tone.

The next moment, Lucius pointed at the corpse.

"He doomed me to forever remain here!"

Shang didn't say anything, but he knew that Lucius was right.

In a certain way, this Lucius had been put into this situation against his will.

When Shang had looked at Lucius earlier, he had realized something.

The numbers making up Lucius' existence didn't entirely make sense.

It was like there was something missing.

It was like Lucius wasn't a complete being.

And when Shang had looked at the corpse, he had seen the same thing.

The numbers of the corpse also didn't fully make sense.

But when the corpse and Lucius were put together, everything made sense.

That was when Shang realized what had happened.

Now, Shang knew how there could be a dead and a living Lucius.

Now, Shang knew why Lucius had changed so much compared to his old self.

Now, Shang knew how the old Lucius had died.

"He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, huh?"

Shang asked with a dark chuckle.

Lucius didn't answer, but based on his annoyed and serious expression, Shang could tell that he had hit the nail on the head.

"When the old Lucius became a God, he looked past the silver wall and found the infinite void of the Abominations," Shang explained.

"He entered the void and traveled through it until he found the eternity of Destruction behind it."
