Atros heard Amberser suggesting him to ascend to godhood, what others would dream of seemed like poison to him.
The Magic Dragon widened his eyes, roaring, "Impossible, I will never give up! I want to unite the world, I want to surpass Arthur Laine, I want to win back everything I've lost!"
He still had a millennia-long plan to unify the world, how could he possibly leave now?
Once he was forced to ascend, he would never have the chance to win back anything! Deities are forbidden to interfere in the Mortal Realm, that was the rule of Aeo!
Yet, Amberser shook his head and sighed, "Did the Dragon Pantheon grant you this power just to see you destroyed? The Deities love their children and give you the last of their strength in hopes of a successful escape. If from the start you thought of escaping, who could stop you? You've just missed your last chance given by the Deities due to your relentless ambition to conquer the world."
