Meeting As Soon As Possible
The Mechanical Duke stood motionless, staring at Jeremy, unable to fathom that Jeremy would dare utter such audacious words about his master.
"What's the matter? Are you not planning to leave?" Jeremy asked The Mechanical Duke, his smile unwavering.
"Human, you are remarkably arrogant! I admit, your strength is indeed formidable. I acknowledge that your talent is exceptionally strong. But in the end, you are merely human. You do not possess the qualifications to challenge a deity."
The Mechanical Duke spoke in his signature cold and raspy mechanical voice.
In response to The Mechanical Duke's words, a mocking smile appeared on Jeremy's face.
"I recall someone else telling me something similar in the past. But in the end, the deity they followed still fell."
The deity Jeremy referred to was, of course, the "Sun" of the Land of Eternal Night.
The Mechanical Duke did not say another word to Jeremy.
