Hidden within the golden armor, Aubrey began to fade into the distance, becoming like a fleeting phantom.
This scene left Aurelion frozen in place, her eyes filled with deep confusion, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke:
"Father, how...how could you..."
"Um?"
Aubrey seemed to sense Aurelion's astonishment and confusion, and slowly lowered his head to look at his own body.
Despite seeing only sturdy armor, he chuckled softly and then said in a low voice:
"It seems my time is almost up."
When Aurelion heard these words, her mind went blank, and her body involuntarily stiffened on the spot.
What does it mean that it's almost time?
"This is a spell cast on me by an old friend; it can restore me to my peak condition."
Aubrey's tone was relaxed and cheerful:
"Of course, the price is that my life can only be sustained for ten minutes."
Despite the harsh reality and indifference towards the end of life revealed in these words.
But Aubrey always wore a serene smile, as if he had a very open-minded view of life and death.
However, the weight of these words made Aurelion feel dizzy.
My legs could barely support my weight, and I was filled with disbelief.
She struggled to steady herself, her jaw clenched, her eyes revealing helplessness and confusion:
"Father, why...why is this happening?"
Aurelion couldn't understand why anyone would cast such cruel magic, leaving her father with only ten minutes to live.
But Aubrey simply shook his head slightly, looked at her with a meaningful gaze, and said gently:
"Child, do you think I would be content to just lie in bed and wait for death?"
These words silenced Aurelia.
Yes, her father, Aubrey.
He was never an emperor who feared death or was weak and evasive.
His reputation was built on his courage and strength.
But she still couldn't understand why her father would rather use his last ten minutes to reach his peak condition.
But then, she saw it.
Aubrey put on the golden mask again.
The moment his armor was fully closed, he immediately exuded an aura of unparalleled majesty and grandeur.
Now, he stands like a war god, between heaven and earth.
He slowly stood up and walked out of the palace with firm steps.
Standing under the colorful sky, Aubrey looked up.
The sky was still a kaleidoscope of colors.
Immediately afterwards, an aged yet resolute voice rang out from deep within the armor:
"This colorful curtain has obscured the narrow vision of the gods, and now its mission is complete."
"so."
Aubrey stretched out a hand, pointing it towards the colorful sky.
His golden gauntlets clenched slightly, as if he were grasping the key to destiny.
"It is their turn to witness the empire's immortal moment."
The next second, a soaring force burst forth from Aubrey's magnificent body, shooting straight into the sky filled with iridescent light.
A chaotic vortex rose in the vast sky, swallowing and twisting the endless, colorful light.
The surrounding air began to stir, and the space beneath the sky trembled violently.
Tiny cracks spread through the air, as if the space itself were trembling.
At that moment, the sky was ignited by an indescribable raging fire.
An unusual burst of light erupted, as if a huge hole had been torn open in the sky.
The swirling, colorful lights vibrated in the air, like ignited, multicolored clouds.
It transformed into fireworks that filled the sky, radiating a crystal-clear luster.
Layers of colorful light overlapped, clouds drifted one after another, and beams of light followed one after another.
The sky above the capital was completely torn open, revealing the deep darkness behind the dazzling colors.
The bursts of light erupted into a shower of colorful fireworks, which then exploded into the sky.
As beams of light exploded, colorful fireworks bloomed, as if the darkness of the night sky had become the backdrop for their dazzling display.
That night, the entire night sky seemed to be illuminated by endless, strangely colored lights, dazzling and spectacular.
Even the crescent moon hanging in the night sky disappeared into this light.
Aurelion gazed up at the magnificent night sky with a mixture of bewilderment and longing, her eyes reflecting the bright, exotic colors.
It was as if hope began to surge from her eyes the moment the light faded.
This light screen that once made her feel powerless was so easily resolved by her father.
That man who stood tall and upright before the palace.
He simply clenched his fist.
The colorful screen that had troubled her for so long shattered and transformed into a sky full of dazzling light.
Like fireworks bursting, the darkness of the night sky was completely dispelled by the light.
Immediately afterwards, Aubrey's kingly aura slowly rose.
With an aura of inviolable majesty, it solemnly announced amidst the colorful fireworks.
"With my soul, with my blood."
"May my nation be blessed with eternal prosperity."
