“No, it has nothing to do with strength. He can’t save this world no matter what,” Violet said with certainty, seemingly particularly convincing in this regard.

A small teleportation array began to operate, and Violet's body disappeared from the palace.

······

That's it?

There were no special effects at all, and the scale of this event was much smaller than the last one. Wu Yu felt like he might have been fooled by the system.

Wu Yu looked at his missing left hand, blood still flowing from the wound. However, having already experienced this once, he didn't make a fuss. He skillfully took out the intermediate-level life potion that Yi Fang had prepared for him in advance and sprinkled it on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Wu Yu picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground with his right hand, examined it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had not been damaged by his use. However, a pleading will emanated from the sword, as if it was afraid that Wu Yu would continue to use it for such dangerous things.

"Don't worry, I only borrowed you, so I wouldn't dare to break you. I'll need your help a lot in the future. I'll give you a name this time. Since I just used you to kill the God of Light, and your blade is black, I'll call you [Original Darkness] from now on."

Yuan An shuddered again, seemingly quite satisfied with Wu Yu's arrangement.

After retrieving Yuan An into his spatial ring, Wu Yu walked outside. He needed to see for himself what had happened to the God of Light.

It was actually quite simple to confirm whether the God of Light was present or not; just send someone out to take a look. So Wu Yu heartlessly dragged Sharp out. An ordinary person would die after just one look, but Sharp would at most go blind. Wu Yu had no qualms about tricking him.

"Your Highness," Sharp called out devoutly as soon as he stepped outside.

Seeing that Sharp was alright, Wu Yu was now certain that the God of Light had completely left this world.

But Virginia is still floating in the air, and she doesn't look to be in good condition.

Wu Yu understood that the crisis in the capital was far from over.
