"It's impossible! It won't matter even if you absorb the weapons' power! You won't be able to inherit the weapons fully as long as I'm alive!"noveldrama

Unfazed, Nash replied, "Who said I wanted to inherit them?"

Fogort did not understand what Nash meant. To him, their fates were already sealed. Nash would become the human emperor no matter what he did. It was only a matter of time.

"That's not possible! Kill me now! Your fate has already been decided!"

Nash posed a question at that moment, "Fogort, do you know the All Souls Token's true purpose?"

Fogort remained silent. He did not know because in all his previous visions, he had never reached the final conclusion.

Currently, Nash was fending off the power of the four remaining weapons while continuously using the Heaven Shaking Tome's power.

"Honestly, I should thank that damned God of Memories. His actions seem to have really brought about some changes. You've noticed too, haven't you?"

Nash's words struck a chord with Fogort. He knew what Nash was referring to. This ancient ruin was not a place he had ever visited in any of his fated journeys.

Just this fact alone meant he had already altered fate. He had also changed the fates of the other three, allowing them to survive.

The price, of course, was Fogort's own life, but Nash was determined to save him.

"Even though your soul is now bound to the four weapons, there's still a way," Nash said, mobilizing all the true energy within his body.

"The All Souls Token can keep a person or object in a state of stasis. Do you understand?"

Fogort grasped Nash's intention then. Nash had used the All Souls Token to detach his soul from his physical body, placing it in an immutable state. This was why he could not return to his body.

This state rendered him impervious to any harm or influence. It was as if existing in another dimension altogether.

Nash was doing this to preserve his life. Now, all he needed to do was to trust Nash.

Gradually, Nash began to feel fatigue set in. He was activating two weapons simultaneously, and his body was starting to feel the strain. He still did not know how to inject the remaining weapons into himself, but at least he had made some progress.

Once again, Nash was locked in a grueling battle. The four weapons attacked him relentlessly. Although the Heaven-Shaking Tome could harmonize the energy to lessen their impact, the two weapons in his possession were not designed for combat. It was inevitable that he would be pushed to a disadvantage.

By this time, Nash was slowly losing against the weapons' coordinated strikes and could only dodge and counter. Although the four weapons sensed the tome's subtle influence, they were confident that Nash would fall before he could completely harmonize their powers.

It seemed impossible for Nash to defeat all four weapons in this situation. However, something unexpected happened.

Sidney, who no one had noticed arriving, suddenly appeared and absorbed the Heaven-Destroyer Magma's energy completely. The three weapons stared in disbelief at the boy who stood before them.

He was an exact replica of the humanized form of the Heaven-Destroyer Magma. How could he possibly devour the Heaven-Destroyer Magma's power? What was going on?

Just then, Tamsine, Reese, and Wrendell returned to the battlefield.

Still in his spirit form, Fogort shouted, "I told you to leave! Why are you still here?"
