"Die!" Himmel Soan ignored Uncien's cry. They didn't show his world any mercy when they slaughtered the people there.
Himmel Soan struck down the Emperor Sword.
Faint shadows of the ancient creatures appeared behind him again. Unlike those that had died for him, these ones behaved more like infants. They didn't know what was going on, nor did they have any power.
They attached themselves to the Emperor Sword and claimed Uncien's life. Not only that, but these creatures formed a subtle connection with the sword, which then changed drastically.
The creatures refined the sword, whose connection with the Emperor began to fade. Himmel Soan's energy filled it instead.
After killing all twelve Quasi-Emperors, Himmel Soan reached the Emperor stage.
He was an Emperor now.
Somebody laughed wholeheartedly, attracting everyone's attention. An old man holding a walking stick appeared. The word "Patriarch" popped into Himmel Soan's head.
