That was the greatest despair in Ansel'life.
Merely a single utterance was sufficient to shatter Ansel's heart, allowing Seraphina to emerge from the brink of self-destruction.
When Ansel finally mustered the courage to revisit his thoughts and emotions from that time, he found them utterly… ludicrous.
His younger self resembled a puppet, whimsically manipulated by fate. A mere flick of the fingers from those exalted beings would pull his limbs and torso into motion; any slight movement, and he would advance forward, aligning with Their will, without harboring the slightest doubt.
Indeed, that day nearly witnessed the empire's downfall.
Flamelle, in a frenzy, almost engaged in a death match with the Empress in the capital. Had the Empress not preemptively shifted the battlefield into the Zero Realm Enigma, the capital would have ceased to exist.
Okay the biggest reversal is about to come... some chapters ahead xD
