Bab 495: A Trial

"L-Lord Hale! T-This is not right! He has yet to even reach the Sixth Realm not to mention officially becoming a Higher Existence!" with wide eyes, Iara looked at the ring in Hale's hands, feeling utter disbelief and confusion.

Pilzrod, on the other hand, stared at Khal with narrowed eyes, looking at him as if he wished to see through him and unearth all his secrets.

[You must be joking with me, right?... Right?]

Khal, just like Nova and Iara, was at loss for words and looked at Hale with confusion.

"This is Monarch Ring, a key to control and gain access to anything within the Mystery Realm." Hale explained with a calm smile, "I want you to accept this and become the Lord of the Zero Realm."

"Huh? But... Why me?" Khal asked before adding, "I mean, I am flattered, but just as she has said it, I have yet to become a Higher Existence. I don't deserve that ring nor the title of a Supreme Existence."
