Kido's Offer

"Why aren't you doing anything?"

Kuzon was at his peak, and his body was oozing with great power, yet the opposite could be said about Kido. Unlike the young Midas, the older man simply floated while watching in amusement.

"I simply wanted to judge for myself how much you've grown." He shrugged.

Even as everything around him burned and melted in response to Kuzon's transformation, Kido still seemed perfectly fine. He simply waited for whatever Kuzon would do next.

'Damnit... that Arcana of his is troublesome...' Kuzon found himself thinking as he glared at his uncle.

[The Empress] was an Arcana that served as the counter of [The Emperor], but that wasn't all it was useful for. There was a reason why the Midas Empire had been considered the strongest nation due to their possession of both Arcanas.

"As you are well aware, [The Empress] prevents any act of control over me—whether from your Arcana or any other factor."
