Chapter - 3046

With that in mind, Haydn immediately wanted to summon his subordinate back and retract his statement. He hurriedly said, “Elder Erebus, please wait a moment. I have some urgent matters to attend to."

Tiger King spoke up at that moment. "What's the matter? You're not thinking of retracting your declaration of war against Zeke, are you?"

Haydn was dumbfounded when he heard the tiger speak.

Everything that had occurred today had fundamentally altered his perception of the world.

Tiger King roared, "Answer my question."

Haydn nodded slightly. "Y-Yes... If what you've said is true, then there's no doubt I'll meet my end in the duel ten days from now. As the saying goes, it's never too late to take revenge.

Although I can't seek revenge now, as long as I'm willing to endure hardships and make sacrifices in the future, I will surely be able to defeat Zeke someday..."

A worthless, cowardly fool was what the three of them thought of Haydn at that moment.

Among them all, the most disappointed was none other than Erebus.

He wondered how he could have been so blind in the past to have mentored. such a weakling.

I can't believe he wants to retract the challenge he has issued. He's the disgrace of Netherworld and a failure in my life.

Erebus coldly stated, "There's no need to retract the challenge. The duel will be carried out as usual in ten days."

Haydn swallowed hard at that. "But Elder Erebus, if that's the case, my chances of surviving are slim to none... Please don't get me wrong, Elder Erebus. It's not that I fear death. It's just that this is a sacrifice that can be completely avoided. Wouldn't it be foolish not to avoid it?"

Theos mocked, “Ha, just admit that you're a coward. There's no need to come up with excuses. Don't worry. You're not going to die this time. With our help, not only will you survive, but you'll also get to kill Zeke and secure your position as the Great Marshal."

What does that mean?

Haydn looked at Theos with curiosity. "Please clarify what you mean by that."

Theos replied, "I, along with Lord Tiger King, are powerful beings of Sun and Moon Class, too. We can assist you in attaining Sun and Moon Class. By then, no one except Zeke among humans will be able to rival you. But of course, even if you do attain Sun and Moon Class, it'll be impossible for you to defeat Zeke within ten days. On the day of the duel, we'll be there to help you in secret. As long as the three of us join forces, we'll surely be able to take down Zeke."

Haydn was once again astounded.

They're all warriors of Sun and Moon Class! Why does it feel like warriors of Sun and Moon Class are so common nowadays? I'm so ignorant and short-sighted! However, I won't have to worry about dealing with Zeke with help from these powerhouses!

Haydn quickly bowed to the two of them. "Thank you both for your assistance! I am eternally grateful."

Theos asked, "Do you know what's required to achieve Sun and Moon Class?"

Haydn shook his head. "I'm not sure. I hope you could provide some guidance."

Theos spoke. "To attain Sun and Moon Class, one must first cultivate a spiritual core. This spiritual core doesn't just materialize out of thin air. Instead, it requires a treasure or someone else's spiritual core as a foundation. Do you have any treasures that could serve as the foundation for creating a spiritual core?"

Haydn spoke cautiously. "Eurasia is teeming with countless treasures, and the number of national treasures is immeasurable. With the power I currently possess, acquiring them will pose no challenge whatsoever."

Pfft!

Theos laughed out loud once again.

"By treasures, I mean spiritual objects which aid our cultivation and not soulless tools. Are all humans as naive and hilarious as you? Perhaps 'foolish' would be a more fitting description for you."

There was nothing but disappointment in Erebus' eyes as he looked at Haydn.

In response, Haydn hung his head in shame.

In the presence of these three, he felt like an ignorant child, with every word and action highlighting his immaturity and making him appear foolish.

Theos uttered, "All right, forget it. We'll think of a way to get the spiritual core. What you need to do next is to follow our orders."
