The Hunger of the Eternal Warrior [Part 2]
"We truly understand what you're going through... But no matter which incarnation, no matter the timeline, no matter the world. We are not allowed to lose to the Universal Emperor."
Victor's expression tightened.
The incarnation continued.
"If it was any other battle, against anyone else we would have let you fight until you felt content."
The words settled heavily into the silent realm.
"We wouldn't even be bothered if you died and joined us in the realm of our soul."
Victor's fingers slowly loosened.
"But against the Universal Emperor, even if it's just a seed, losing is not an option."
The final sentence carried an absolute weight.
There was no hesitation.
No room for argument.
No trace of uncertainty.
Victor stared at the incarnation for several seconds.
His anger still remained, but the sharpest edge of it had begun to fade.
Universal Emperor.
