728 Chapter 724
Although his body suddenly got heavier thanks to losing the effects of Lion\'s Pride, Leon felt weirdly refreshed. He had never wished to fight alone… even though he literally got ten times weaker, it was much better than enduring the weight of everything on his shoulders alone.
Leon pointed the Big Bang toward Tyrselle, but her soldiers put themselves in front of her. That was some crazy loyalty, sweating cold and trembling like leaves, Leon could tell that they were scared to death, but they had no intention of backing down.
Many humans died when Tyrselle\'s soldiers attacked Earth, it was a pity, but it was something necessary for Leon to kill some of them and make Tyrselle give up. It was the only option giving that Tyrselle would cause an equal amount of destruction if she makes all the planets of a galaxy collide… it was hard to tell. Leon slowly flew toward Tyrselle while pointing his spell toward her… the first Leon would have to kill was Sylas, a fellow human.
Leon didn\'t slow down; he couldn\'t hesitate now. It was the price of betting everything for the sake of everyone\'s future. If Leon had to destroy even more his conscience, so be it. Sylas watching Leon\'s approach without moving a single bit, he was fully aware that attacking that sphere of mana would probably cause a chain reaction and kill all his allies alongside the humans on the enemy side. So, he didn\'t even try it. His goal was just one… decrease the power of Leon\'s spell, all to increase the chance of Tyrselle\'s survival.
When the sphere of mana touched Sylas… his body turned into dust instantly. He didn\'t even have time to feel pain… he just vanished from existence. That surprised even Leon, but what happened after surprised him even more.
"STOP!" Tyrselle shouted.
It wasn\'t that surprising, but Sylas suddenly returned, wondering why Leon had backed down. He didn\'t even notice that he had died, and Tyrselle reversed the time on his existence before his spirit could disappear.
"It looks like she isn\'t the mad dog that I thought she was…" Ilyana frowned. "Well, I guess this is for the best."
"Do you surrender?" Leon asked.
"Yes…" Tyrselle said and then lowered her arms.
Before she could even answer, Leon felt her mana getting calmer. Not only that, her gravity that was pulling the planets toward where they also vanished entirely. Leon sighed in relief when that happened. Truth to be told, Leon expected that Tyrselle would be the most reasonable foe he would face. He didn\'t want to believe that mad individuals like Netro or the shadowy figure would reach her level because they didn\'t truly have a goal. They just wanted power to have power and stand above others… Leon didn\'t know her goal yet, but given that she dozens of thousands of years of life experience, she had a strong one.
"That was so anticlimactic…" Serena suddenly appeared and then said.
"Even after all this long, you still wanted to see more destruction and bloodshed?" Leon frowned.
"No, but truth to be told, I wanted to see you use something similar to Supernova," Serena replied. "It was the most beautiful event, and I had seen in all my lives, after all."
Considering that she was referring to the destruction of an entire galaxy, Leon couldn\'t help but frown when he heard that coming from Serena\'s mouth. She changed quite a bit since the first reset… meanwhile, Leon and Ilyana didn\'t change all that much.
"Well, what is the plan now?" Serena asked.
"I\'m also curious about it," Ilyana frowned. "I just hope you don\'t want to do something insane… even more than usual."
"Well, before explaining that, let me return this mana to the planets," Leon said and then concentrated once again to make that absurd amount of mana disperse in all directions without causing any problems.
It took a few minutes, but Leon eventually succeeded in doing what he wanted. There was no one better than him at controlling mana, after all… probably. Regardless, Leon wanted to explain his reasoning to everyone, but he heard some humans making a lot of noise. They stopped the fight when Leon prepared the Big Bang. However, now they want to fight again, they couldn\'t understand why Leon suddenly stopped just when the enemy leader asked him to do so.
Some of Tyrselle\'s soldiers were around her to protect their leader if another fight breaks out. Meanwhile, Tyrselle was just sitting on the ground absently looking at it… he had lost all the will to fight because she put the lives of her subordinates over her goal. She couldn\'t understand it… but Leon could. It was all because, after such a long time, Tyrselle finally learned how it was to be a social being. She didn\'t do that before, and even though Tyrselle did it while thinking of using everyone to help her defeat Leon and Ilyana, at some point, her mindset changed, and she began to threaten them like allies and not tools.
"Let\'s calm down," Leon said via Telepathy to all the people on Ilyana\'s planet. "If you guys want to fight, then I will give you the chance to have one hell of a fight, but not against the invaders or against each other."
Tyrselle raised her head, and then she studied Leon. By the look of things, she thought of doing the same thing as he is planning right now, many times, but gave up at some point.
"There is another enemy, Leon?" Hector asked. "Someone even more powerful than her?"
"Yes… and I will bet that everyone here has a grudge against this particular foe," Leon said. "The real enemy… is the creator of the system."
