Chapter 1788: Kill Yourselves!
Chapter 1788: Kill Yourselves!
The silence after Morgana’s death did not last for long.
"You are good, Max Morgan," Orion laughed at this moment.
His voice broke the frozen atmosphere at the base of the Witch God Tree, and unlike the others, there was no fear in his eyes. There was shock, yes, and there was also caution, but above both of them was a fierce excitement that made his aura burn even brighter. He looked at Max as if he had finally found something worth remembering in the Cosmic Ascension Conference.
The strongest genius of the Nine Star Court had come here to measure the truth behind the rumors, but after seeing Max destroy Selene, survive Morgana’s three strongest witchcraft moves, and cut Morgana down with a single sword, the answer had already become obvious.
"But now is not the time for our battle," Orion continued, his grin widening. "I only came here to see if you were really that strong or just overhyped, but you exceeded my expectations."
Max looked at him calmly.
Orion crossed his arms and laughed again. "We will have a battle for sure, but not right now. Until then, I hope you do not get eliminated."
With that, the nine stars behind him revolved once. Starlight wrapped around his body, and his figure disappeared from the base of the Witch God Tree, leaving only a faint pressure in the air and a few sparks of star power drifting behind him. His departure was simple, but no one treated it as retreat.
Orion had not left because he was afraid. He had left because he had already gained what he wanted from this place, and his battle with Max had merely been postponed to a better stage.
Kaiden Voidmere remained for a moment longer.
He stared at Max silently, and the space around him rippled gently like water disturbed by a falling leaf. His gaze was not hostile. It was calm, deep, and faintly complicated, especially after he had sensed the familiar aura inside Max’s body during the previous exchanges.
He had not interfered with the battle, and he had not said much before, but now that Morgana and Selene were gone, he finally spoke.
"Master once said that he had taken in another disciple from a mortal world," Kaiden said slowly, "but he did not mention much about him. However, after looking at you, I feel the disciple he was talking about was you. I can feel the Void Genesis Art inside you."
The moment those words fell, Caroline, Nancy, Jessica, and even Rosaline looked at Max with surprise.
Void Genesis Art.
The name itself was enough to carry weight, especially when spoken by Kaiden Voidmere, the strongest genius of the Grand Void Sanctum
Max’s expression did not change much, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Kaiden. The aura of Void Genesis Art inside him had always been hidden deeply, but Kaiden had still sensed it. That alone proved that this man was not ordinary.
Kaiden continued, "In that case, you are my junior brother, and I do not wish to fight you unless there is no other choice. I hope to see you around until the end of the first round of the Cosmic Ascension Conference. Until then, see you."
After saying that, he gave Max a small nod.
The space behind him folded inward silently, and his figure vanished as if swallowed by an invisible doorway. There was no grand light and no violent fluctuation, yet his departure felt even more mysterious than Orion’s. One moment he was there, and the next, the distance around him had lost meaning and removed him from the battlefield.
Max watched the place where Kaiden had disappeared for a brief moment, then slowly turned his gaze toward the remaining elves from the second faction.
The second faction elves stiffened instantly.
Selene was dead for now. Morgana was gone. Orion had left. Kaiden had left. The only powerful outsiders remaining were Rosaline and her people, and Rosaline had already declared herself an observer.
That meant the second faction elves now had to face Max directly, and after everything they had witnessed, none of them still had the courage to attack him.
Max looked at them calmly.
"If you do not want me to take action," he said, "kindly kill yourself."
The words were spoken in a casual tone, but to the second faction elves, they sounded like a sentence from hell.
For a moment, no one moved.
Then the first elf gritted his teeth, raised his own weapon, and pierced his heart without hesitation. His body dissolved into light and Killing Points, disappearing from the battlefield.
The second followed. Then the third. Then the fourth. In only a few breaths, the remaining second faction elves began committing suicide one after another, choosing to lose one life by their own hands rather than be cut down by Max and possibly suffer a far more terrifying death under his sword path.
The sight shocked everyone.
Even Rosaline’s followers could not hide their disbelief.
These were proud elves from the second faction, many of them geniuses or elite hunters who looked down on others. Yet after Max spoke, they actually killed themselves without daring to resist. It was not because they respected him. It was because they feared him.
Caroline watched them disappear one by one, her expression cold and unreadable.
Jessica’s eyes were filled with hatred, but also relief.
Nancy quietly stood beside Max, her gaze sweeping over the dissolving figures of the second faction elves.
In the end, only Seraphine and Fin remained.
The two of them stood in place, faces pale and twisted with humiliation. They had already died once to Max inside Witch God Valley, and now they were being forced to end themselves again in front of everyone. Seraphine’s eyes burned with hatred, while Fin’s expression was full of resentment and fear. Neither of them wanted to die again, but neither of them dared to attack Max either.
Max’s gaze moved to them.
That was enough.
Seraphine clenched her teeth until blood almost appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Max, our Divine Son will take revenge for us. Just you wait."
Fin also glared at Max and said in a threatening tone, "The Divine Son is not like us. When he comes, you will understand what true despair means."
