"DID Neoma and Commander Ruto leave?"
Nero nodded in response to his mother's question. "Yes, Mother. They left to confront the gods who entered the Imperial Capital."
Right now, Nero was on the balcony of his office with his parents.
They were all looking up at the dark sky, waiting for Neoma to return.
[I don't care if Commander Ruto doesn't return as long as Neoma does.]
"If the two of them don't return in fifteen minutes, I'm following them," his father, the former emperor, said firmly. "Helstor's arrogance is getting on my nerves already."
Yes, people on their level had felt Helstor's presence earlier.
In fact, it was as if the God of Eternal Darkness did that on purpose.
"Don't worry, Father," Nero said confidently. "Neoma is good at putting people in their places– gods or not."
