Strengthening

"There's nothing we can do. With our strength, we can't stop the Disaster..." Sirius had fought the Disaster face-to-face before, and the catastrophic images still haunted his mind. "Only Her Majesty, the Empress, had the strength to resist it."

Rio's anger gradually swelled within him, and his tone grew more furious, "Old man, I won't hold it against you because you're on the brink of death, but let me tell you this—no one can destroy our Empire!"

Fang Heng couldn't understand the conversation between the two, especially since Kotal had only translated part of it. He was left confused and unsure of the situation.

Seeing that the conversation was getting more heated, almost to the point of an argument, he turned to Tal and asked, "What are they arguing about?"

Tal replied, "It's about the Disaster."
