Chapter 613: Daruun's Warm Wishes To All

Daruun ignored the startlement on the faces of the legendary gods and continued, "My manner of recruitment is different than that of Skaryn and Halmut. Frankly, some of you here now would've likely never been chosen by me."

Each of the legendary gods listening in was somewhat taken aback by that statement, unsure how to take it.

"What matters to me is not necessarily power or cunningness or even potential. If I was after pure power, I would've helped Halmut without Skaryn's plea. If I were after cunningness, I would've hand-picked Tralbok to my side with his unique abilities." 

The God of Time strained to sigh through his numb lips as that verbal dagger cut him deeply.

"And if I sought potential, would I have chosen Jin or Tyres?" reasoned Daruun, giving everyone a hint of his character. "As for my origin, just know that I'm not from Kartonia, nor do I reside here. I merely visit and pop in from time to time."
