Chapter 1613: Dismantle Elysium Chapter 1613: Dismantle Elysium Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation âDad, are you really willing to sacrifice Brieâs life just to eliminate the enemy?â Trevon Neal asked quietly.
âYou are the Young Master of the Northern Army.
Today, I will teach you what you must uphold,â Braydon Neal replied calmly, locking eyes with his son.
âIn the future, as leader of the Northern Army, millions will follow you to the death.
You must understand, you cannot allow yourself to be threatened in this life.â Being threatened meant yielding their benefits, and that would mean betraying the interests of all Northern Army soldiers.ĂÂ It would destroy the armyâs morale and cohesion that had been carefully built over the years.
âSince the establishment of the Northern Army, betrayal has never been tolerated,â Braydon continued solemnly.
âAny betrayal among Northern Armyâs leadership would fracture our elite forces, a scenario I refuse to witness.â âBraydon, what are you doing?â Eva Foreman scolded angrily.
âYou shouldnât have come here today!â Braydon glanced over and raised his left hand slightly.ĂÂ Asura launched another attack, intensifying the deadlock once more.ĂÂ Around them, members of the mask group and Asura, who had recently defeated the new eternal expert Gage Wyrick, closed in.
Surveying the hopeless situation, Easton Thorpe spoke coldly to Braydon.
âGive me half of Dragon Spring Worldâs territory, and Iâll release your daughter.
Otherwise, youâll regret this for the rest of your life.â âSince I assumed command of the Northern Army, Iâve never succumbed to threats,â Braydon responded ruthlessly.ĂÂ It was clear he considered Brie Neal more than just a bargaining chip; he outright rejected Eastonâs offer.
In less than 15 minutes, they had decimated Nine Magnificence Divine Mountain, nearly wiping out all cultivators from major factions who had gathered there.
Leaving Easton there!
Eastonâs face darkened.ĂÂ His eyes, like those of a venomous snake, fixed on Eva as he spoke, âForeman, this is your last chance!â Seeing Braydonâs refusal to yield, he redirected his threat.ĂÂ A calm voice interrupted him.
âYou donât stand a chance!â Swish!
The space around them layered, time suppressed to its limits.Ă A green-robed man wearing a smiling mask moved swiftlyââŹâit was the green lotus banished immortal!
Having suffered the time backlash earlier while aiding Trevon, he had retreated to recover, now emerging to act decisively.
He was their best hope to save the little girl, mastering the path of time and space to create the optimal rescue opportunity.
True to expectation, Eastonâs horror intensified.ĂÂ His attempts to strike were thwarted by thousands of layers of space centered on him, timeâs force further constraining his every move.ĂÂ His chances of even raising a hand became a distant hope.
Though the green lotus banished immortal was weakened and couldnât sustain this for long, one second was all Asura needed.ĂÂ In a blink, Asura stood before Easton, his eternal power forming into a longsword that moved like a fleeting shadow.
With a swift stroke, Eastonâs head parted from his body, the surge of eternal energy obliterating his life and death pills and erasing his consciousness.ĂÂ He fell instantly, slain on the spot!
His headless form crumpled to the ground as Asura gently took Brie into his arms.
âBrie!â Eva rushed forward, embracing her daughter amidst tears of joy.
Trevon gazed at his father in silence for a long moment.ĂÂ Suddenly, he asked, âIf Easton had taken me hostage, would you still have attacked?â âYes,â replied Braydon simply, offering no further explanation.
Trevonâs expression dimmed, and he remained silent for a while longer.ĂÂ The green lotus banished immortal approached gently and spoke to her, âTrevon, your father had no other choice today.
The secrets of the Dragon Spring World are too important for the Northern Army to compromise.
Your father believes in protecting through decisive action.
To him, only by eliminating threats can he ensure Brieâs safety.
Do you understand?â âIf your father had yielded, Easton would have seen it as weakness.
He would not have released Brie; instead, he would have used her as leverage against us.
Your father would have been seen as vulnerable, making every subsequent move a mistake,â continued the green lotus banished immortal.
âThe king of the Northern Army cannot afford to be threatened.â As the green lotus banished immortal explained, Trevon began to grasp why Braydon had acted as he did.ĂÂ If Easton had held Brie hostage and Braydon had capitulated, it would have only emboldened Easton.ĂÂ The promise of releasing Brie would have been hollow, serving only to maintain leverage over the Northern Army.ĂÂ Easton would not easily relinquish such a potent bargaining chip.
Once one succumbs to control, it becomes a cycle of further concessions.Ă Braydon, Luther Carden, and the others understood this shallow logic better than anyone.Ă Thatâs why, in the Northern Army, no one dared to question Braydonâs decisions.Ă Indeed, Braydonâs course of action was the correct oneââŹâto secure peace through strength.
Braydon didnât linger.
âLetâs pay them a visit and remind them not to make a habit of using my children as leverage.â This statement reflected Braydonâs resolve.Ă Today, they intended to dismantle the top faction in the Spirit SeaââŹâElysium.Ă Allowing Eastonâs actions to go unchecked would mean Brie would never have peace, forever confined within the Foreman familyâs territory and under perpetual threat.
Therefore, Elysium had to be dealt with.ĂÂ By dismantling the Elysium, they would send a clear message to all other factions in the Spirit Sea: interfering with Brie would be forbidden for the next ten thousand years.
In a secluded area of the Spirit Sea, three white mountains floated above the wavesââŹâthe three main peaks of Elysium.Ă Each peak was protected by formidable killing formations, ensuring no intruders for millennia.Ă Yet today, someone had come knocking.
Accompanied by ten thousand banished immortals, Braydon flew over.ĂÂ An elderly voice resonated from the main peak of Elysium.
âI didnât expect Commander Neal to visit.
Please forgive our lack of welcome,â spoke an old man in a gray robe, stepping forward respectfully.
âHello, Commander Neal,â he greeted with a bow.
âIs Easton Thorpe from Elysium?â Braydon inquired bluntly.
Apollo Wyrick, the old man, nodded solemnly.
âHe is the deputy sect master of Elysium.
If he has offended Commander Neal in any way, please accept our apologies.
HoweverâŚâ âHe threatened me with my son, and I killed him,â Braydon interjected straightforwardly.
âWhat?â Apollo exclaimed, shocked and furious.ĂÂ Such news was unthinkable.
Easton represented Elysium and managed affairs in the Dragon Spring world.ĂÂ How could Elysium not be aware?
What truly angered Apollo was that Braydon had actually slain the deputy sect master of ElysiumââŹâa first in the factionâs ten-thousand-year history.
Suppressing his anger, Apollo spoke with determination.
âCommander Neal, are you here to punish us?â âNo, Iâve come to dismantle Elysium!â
