Chapter 485: Welcome Back, Emperor Lyon!

The captain's head exploded like a watermelon to their gawked face. The absolute dominance over his enemy was overwhelming. This was the guy that threatened to kill the onlookers just a moment ago and he pretty much had the arsenal to do so. However, he met an abrupt end. 

They were wondering what the captain's last train of thought was. Clearly that he didn't come here preparing to die, especially not in the mortal world. They knew the saying of hidden dragon crouching tiger before but this was too much for them to bear. The experts were far above and beyond and obliterate both pride and the life of heaven.

"Ca..." the subordinates couldn't call his superior anymore. The body had stopped flinching.

The half-giant suddenly leaped to the sky before kneeling right before Lyon. The sudden gesture wouldn't give out from one's backing but from one's subordinates. 

"Master, I've returned."

The onlookers were taken back. The words master and emperor coexisted. With each second it ticked by the more mysterious the young man became. A master and an emperor at such young age and more importantly, a leader of the cultivators that highly exceeded one's own cultivation realm. Like a sheep leading a pack of lions.

"Unfathomable..." some of them shook their heads. What kind of status does Lyon Torga have to have him calling him master.

"No wonder he dared to fight off Treas... with those three, maybe the sun is the only thing dare enough to show their illuminating radiant."

"Damn..." said Jin as he shook his head. He suddenly remembered the question he asked Lyon when they met back at the shore. The latter showed his unprecedented radiant of a ruler that had far exceed his understanding. Now it all made sense. This was one of the reasons why he had such aura back then even when his cultivation was still in the realm of the Divine.

Ayumu and her best friend Madoku/Madoka were taken back. They had their suspicion that Lyon belonged to a secret powerful family but not like this. It was beyond their imagination. Treas was treated as nothing.

Yunesia couldn't close her purple lips as Kyoko narrowed her eyes. The latter was trying to figure out her savior's identity to no avail but now, she had finally seen a glimpse of it. An emperor status with those three being his generals. She won't even think about the richness he actually had but the question thickened. Who is Lyon Torga? Or to be precise, who was Emperor Lyon?

Sophia's hand turned into a trembling fist as her eyes refused to blink. She walked forward and her parents looked at her back, "Sophia...?"

She quite clearly remembers what her cousin said at the time inside the room. The latter looked against the lunar in the sky as she condescended the heaven with her gaze. Torga was the name that heaven had successfully repressed to the point that there were no record books of it. At least the books that Sophia had read her entire life.

This was the man that had proven miracle was his middle name. Breaking rules as if he created it.

"Retreat!" shouted the one that was standing beside Vargas, Lord Treas.

The old man acted as if he couldn't hear what the guard was saying. However, the word clearly went inside his ear but the reality was not. He looked at what he had built reduced to dust in a matter of seconds. The grand palace, the whole island, the parade of richness and fame it had turned to nothing.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows but before he could even turn around the half-giant replied, "Understood."

The guard quickly pulled out his returning jade stone. The speed of the engulfing light was astonishing as he shot upward.

*Boom!

The light could only shot one meter to the sky before the entire mana dispersed like sprinkled dust. The unprecedented speed even caught Lyon's astonishment. 

"Kh?!" the guard suddenly found himself being the same position as his captain. With one foot on top of his cheek. His train of thoughts crashed. (Impossible... impossible... impossible!)

"He caught him..."

"With his foot..."

The onlookers were gobsmacked as they felt a shiver down their spines. They looked at the tall man who didn't even open his crossed arms as he put the disrespect against the guard from heaven. The scene was happening again.

"Retreat! Retreat!" shouted the guard on the ground as his last will made its appearance. (At the very least avenge me! The mortal won't have any rest day after this) thought the guard as he smiled a victorious smile. There were nine of the guards left and there were only two of them left.

"You will die! All of the mortals here will die! Once they hear of what you have done! All of you will die! Go! Everyone!" shouted the guard.

"Scatter!" said one of the nine guards before they all went in separate directions in unison. The returning jade stone was already in their hands with a flick of their fingers. Their eyes only reflected survival. It mattered not what their friend said. They didn't come here originally to die. Even their captain was obliterated brutally without honor let alone them. (Forget about working together! These three... are monsters!).

They were all sharing the same thought. Not even their cultivation realms of True God could contend, and the captain had the highest cultivation level among them. The latter's skull was crushed with a stomp. A True God died in such a way that only existed in horror stories.

"Escape? Retreat?" muttered the half-giant as his face pulled to the scorn of disgust before he continued, "Kill us? Bah! You are all so full of yourself. Once you tried to dishonor my master, do you think that any of your friends will be left alive?"

"Kesya," muttered Cecile, "I hope those times of resting don't leave you rusty!"

"You can count on me, Empress," said Kesya before her blue eyes turned slightly glowed as they sharpened. Her black ears slightly twitched before she brutally disappeared from Cecile's line of sight.

"I-I live!" shouted one of the guards as he reached enough distance away from them. A cold shiver immediately crept up his spine but before it reached all the way. His heart was penetrated from the back.

"One," whispered Kesya before using his back to plunge to the other target. 

The crazy speed left out an exploding gale before the second one died. The armor that was made from the material that could only be found in heaven was so easily penetrated by her bare hand.

The third guard only managed to turn around before he stared at the ominous beauty right in the face. However, her eyes were already set on the fourth.

The fifth and sixth wailed before the seventh and eighth followed. It was one hit one kill, a perfect plate. The flawless execution left a breathtaking notion inside the onlookers' minds. The movements were simple but precise. Not a single shred of mana was used at all as she killed those guards.

However, one green jade light managed to shot toward the sky. The guard was laughing. He had survived the horror. He could already feel the stir that's going to happen massively. (I will be promoted for sure! My life will only get better soon!).

"Eight out of nine, surely you are not suggesting that you let one slip on purpose did you?" he pushed his glasses up before the reflection of the jade light that was increasingly approaching was revealed. He puckered up a smile before stretched his left arm to the side.

An ominous voice of wind being shredded was heard just right the moment the jade light passed him by. The jade light immediately dispersed before a head was lobbed off of the body. 

Blood was splurging out of the neck but the head was in a state of disbelief as it fell. Just like that, another True God fell. 

"None of you will," said the half-giant before a loud thud was heard.

The last guard that was on the mercy of his foot was looking at the face of his work colleague. The eyes of the head managed to move a little and looked at the last guard before the very consciousness left the world of the living.

His eyes constricted as his mouth opened wide with no more words coming out of it. He was prideful just a moment ago, but a moment later, he was sinking to the depth of despair. Not even with their high cultivation realm did they managed to escape, not a single one of them.

"Just who are you people?!" shouted the last guard with tears coming out of his eyes.

"It's better that you don't know."

"W-What?!"

The half-giant stomped down his foot before splattering his head along with the helmet he was wearing. Not caring how the onlookers react, he leaped to the sky once more.

"Welcome back, Emperor Lyon!" shouted the three of them as they knelt with their hearts.
