Joshua hesitated, then glanced at Stillness Sage beside him.
"It seems I should excuse myself,"
Stillness Sage said with a faint smile, rising as if to leave.
"My lord, there's no need!"
Tredy transmitted a few words to Joshua via mind power.
Joshua steadied himself and continued,
"The Crossbridge Empire already possesses a foundation on the level of a Divine Empire, and is currently planning to fully take control of the Abyssal Demon Realm to establish its national strength."
"Moreover, His Majesty Aurek is extremely young. To call his talent heaven-defying would still be an understatement. In the future, the Empire may even have the potential to challenge a Divine Court."
"My words should make clear to you how much weight this carries."
"A Divine Court?!"
Stillness Sage was deeply shaken.
Starbound Savant also frowned tightly.
"You're saying that the Crossbridge Empire intends to contend with behemoths like the Council of the Dark Order and the Judicatory Sanctum?"
