However, his wrinkled and weathered face made him instantly recognizable.
That was the world's most powerful emperor, Aubrey Thor, as everyone knows.
Ten years ago, when he passed away, he had this same aged face.
At this moment, he lay motionless on the ground like a limp puppet.
But he had a satisfied expression on his face.
A slight smile played at the corners of his mouth, and his face appeared peaceful and composed.
Beside him was a suit of Hellfire armor whose flames had been extinguished.
The armor was also broken, especially the faceplate, which had a large piece broken off, revealing the obsidian pupils behind it.
Unlike Auberley,
Viktor was the only one standing.
But from the corners of his mouth and eyes revealed by the shattered mask, there was not a trace of the joy of victory.
However, just seeing Viktor become the last human standing on the battlefield was enough to fill many viewers with despair.
Their hearts suddenly stopped, and the extreme pressure made it difficult for them to breathe; many of them fainted from fear.
Even the world's strongest warrior, Oberyl, was no match for Victor.
At this moment, Viktor truly earned the title of the world's strongest.
However, this battle was destined to be a painful one.
At this moment, Aurelion, who was in mid-air, saw this scene and her eyes widened. She shouted out in great anxiety:
"Father!"
The next second, disregarding the chaotic gravity and the unpredictable gale around her, she left the master's seat.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Aubrey.
Landing just meters from Auberly, Aurelian's eyes trembled, filled with disbelief.
Her steps were unsteady, and she staggered to Aubrey's side.
thump.
She knelt on the ground, rapidly channeling the magic within her body, and conjured healing magic that radiated a glowing green light in her hands.
He carefully placed his hands on Aubrey's wound, trying to treat him.
But when she anxiously reached out her hands, she found that they had passed right through Aubrey's body.
Upon seeing this, Aurelion's vision blurred.
She stared wide-eyed at Aubrey's body in disbelief.
Watching his body flicker and gradually become ethereal, like a ghost.
Her attempts to speak were blocked in her throat, and the suffocating feeling made it difficult for her to breathe.
Her hands trembled as she defiantly passed through Aubrey's body again and again, trying to save him from the brink of illusion.
However, all of this was in vain.
Why...?
Mingming had embraced her father tightly when he returned.
But now, all that's touching is nothingness.
"It seems I don't have much time left."
Aubrey, in a trance, smiled and struggled to lift her eyelids.
He peeked out from behind a sliver of vision, gazing at Aurelion, whose face was streaked with tears.
Even though he had already been defeated and knew he was about to leave, there was not a trace of resentment on his face.
Instead, he appeared incredibly relaxed, even somewhat relieved, with genuine joy on his face.
However, seeing Auberly so calm only fueled Aurelion's growing fear.
She was afraid that her father would leave her again, leaving her alone in this world.
She finally got her father back and rediscovered the warmth of family love.
Now, will everything turn into nothing again?
Why……
No, she couldn't accept it.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and the magic in her hands flowed again and again, trying to restore Aubrey to her previous state.
But the harder she tried, the more reckless her actions became, until even her magic began to become disordered.
Suddenly, Aubrey raised a hand.
This phantom-like hand did not pass through Aurelion's face.
Instead, it stopped perfectly on her cheek.
Although, there was no tactile sensation.
But Aurelion involuntarily stopped trembling.
His eyes widened as he looked down at Aubrey, who had once again reverted to his twilight years.
“I am already dead, child.”
He spoke slowly, his tone filled with the vicissitudes of life.
"I came back this time simply to fulfill a wish in my heart."
He looked up again, his gaze fixed on the sky, now swallowed by nothingness and completely shattered, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Now, I have finally fulfilled this wish."
What does the strongest person truly desire?
To rule the world? Or to be invincible?
Neither.
Just like Viktor when he was pursuing his own failure.
Aubrey was also the only one who had never lost.
He had no rivals; he spent his entire life invincible.
He was indeed powerful, so powerful that he was invincible.
But even being invincible can be lonely.
Having never had a rival, Aubrey has always longed to meet an opponent in this era who can match him in battle, or even surpass him.
Until he met Victor.
But Victor no longer belongs to his era.
Even though Victor is incredibly powerful, Aubrey is destined to be no match for him.
Moreover, at that time, Viktor was not powerful enough to contend with him.
So Aubrey chose to accept death calmly.
He accepted the Grand Master's request and entered the Hall of Heroes, becoming a 'Heroic Spirit'.
This was a promise the Grand Master had made to him.
Once he becomes a 'Heroic Spirit', he will surely be able to enjoy a battle that satisfies him.
