One day is very short, to the point of being unable to change anything!
Maxwell was very clear on this.
Who knows what they will be facing the next day?
The Immortal Execution Array was capable of killing those commander-level bosses, but Maxwell had a feeling that it wouldn't even stop a single move of Devil Monarch Skysoul's.
Did someone really sabotage the Devil Sealing Array so that the devil fiends could escape?
Or should we say…
Those devil fiends haven't stopped attacking the seal for the past ten thousand years?
If the Devil Sealing Array couldn't block Devil Monarch Skysoul, then Maxwell's Immortal Execution Array was just a complete joke. There's no way it could resist him!
In just one day…
The fate of the Capital City would be determined!
It will definitely be an uphill battle!
Maxwell had to be fully prepared for this!
In the main square, everyone was staring at Maxwell. This place was no longer separated into districts, experts or weaklings, the rich or the poor, nor Sects or schools. The only people here were the citizens of the Evans Kingdom!
Their hearts were extremely touched.
They were thankful for Maxwell staying here.
They were thankful for everything he had done so far. If it weren't for him, the Capital City would have long become a dead city by now.
Maxwell stared at everyone, momentarily at a loss for words.
At this time…
The huge square contained over several hundred thousand people. Not a sound could be heard as the crowd silently stared at one person while waiting for his command.
Maxwell lightly cleared his throat since he had to say something during this time at least.
He opened his mouth several times but felt like something was clogging his throat, and words wouldn't come out.
Eventually…
He faintly smiled and said, "Everyone should go back early and rest up. Revitalise your spirit and prepare for tomorrow's battle. We may all die tomorrow, but humans live their lives to be happy and free. Even if we have to die, we cannot let them have an easy time. If you happen to fall, know that countless citizens of the Evans Kingdom are still inside the Capital City. They, too, will lose their lives. So no matter what happens tomorrow, we must fight for ourselves, our family, and our nation. So we shall fight until we die!"
"Fight until we die!"
"Fight until we die!"
"Fight until we die!"
Their voices shook the skies!
During Maxwell's campaigning, the large crowd gradually receded as they chanted. The only people remaining in the huge main square were Constantine and the others.
Constantine's brows were locked up. He had wanted to say something for a long time but held back. He understood that his words weren't appropriate for the current environment. Now that everyone had left, he had no scruples speaking his mind. "Boss, you should join Devil Monarch Skysoul and leave this place."
Godfrey also stood forward and said, "What Constantine said is right. Boss, you should join Devil Monarch Skysoul and leave. Don't hold back because of us…"
Blindman Dale also walked forward and said, "Devil Monarch Skysoul comes from the ancient world. Holding onto a mere shattered soul, he cultivated for over 100,000 years. He has experienced countless calamities yet still managed to stay alive. Ten thousand years ago, all the myriad races united together, and still it wasn't his opponent. He has never invited anyone from the human race to join him before, let alone show appreciation. Dragon head, Devil Monarch Skysoul really favours you. He can bring you with him to a world we cannot even imagine reaching. That world is the one that you truly need, while we are just the anchors keeping you back. Agree to his request. In our world of the martial dao, the weak will always be prey for the strong, and the strong will always be respected. No one will hate you because of your decision, and there's no need to think about us…"
As his words reached this point, Blindman Dale couldn't help but start choking up.
Adam also stood forward and said, "You have done a lot for the Evans Kingdom already. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead right now. Maxwell, comply with his invitation. I won't blame you, and the old ancestor won't blame you. Once you become a member of the devil fiend army, you will be able to accomplish a lot of things."
"Sky City's Peter Wesley…"
"Hall of Souls Conglomerate Organisation's Gwendolyn…"
"The places you deeply hate, which include the Cold Sea Sect, Southern Mountain Sect, Plume City, and that ten-year agreement you had with the Outer Heavenly Palace's Gareth Greene at the Saint rank; you can have Devil Monarch Skysoul help you achieve all that you desire. As for us… heh heh…" Adam chuckled before continuing: "We are only your baggage. I was your baggage at the Dead City; it was the same in the northern city, and I am still your baggage. We are truly very tired!"
Arianna and Lilith didn't say anything, just looking at Maxwell.
From their eyes, Maxwell could clearly see that they hoped he would agree to join Devil Monarch Skysoul as well!
Brenda blinked a few times while looking at Maxwell. "Big brother, you need to continue living. You need to live a good and brilliant life. We will all pray for you when we are in heaven, hee hee…"
Brenda smiled.
She was smiling very happily.
When Maxwell looked at her innocent smile, he didn't know why, but tears just started streaming down his cheeks. He clenched his fists multiple times while his nails were embedded in his palms. He maintained that strength while clenching his teeth until he heard cracking. He then said heavily: "I'm sorry!"
"I made you all worry because of my lack of abilities!"
"I made you all worry because I don't have the strength to protect you all!"
"I'm sorry! I am truly very sorry!"
Maxwell didn't know what else to say.
It was as if his last line of defence in his heart had shattered.
Looking at his brothers and his women, looking at the cute and innocent Brenda, Maxwell's heart felt like countless sharp arrows had pierced through it.
His anxiety had already been stretched to its limit when facing Devil Monarch Skysoul.
From the first day that he had arrived in this world, he had always been forcing himself. He desperately tried to achieve more level-ups. He wanted to live a more colourful life in this world. He wanted to live life like a real human being.
He wanted to adventure together with his brothers in this world.
He wanted to grow old slowly with the women he loved in this world.
He was very tired!
Very tired! Tired to the point that even he himself didn't know how tired he was.
But…
With these brothers by his side, he was also very happy. He desperately tried to cherish this hard-won brotherhood!
With all these confidantes by his side, his heart was warm and fuzzy, creating a feeling of happiness. Even though he was still a virgin, he still truly felt that he was very fortunate.
For his brothers!
For his women!
He could only desperately hold onto his persistence.
Hearing Maxwell's continuous apology, everyone couldn't hold back their tears anymore. Arianna, Lilith, and the other girls started sobbing faintly. Especially Arianna; her father died in the battle, so her tears were practically empty. Now that Maxwell kept apologising to them, her heart felt like it was about to shatter again.
Immediately after…
Maxwell's mind tightened as he stopped allowing his tears to come. He then said in a very serious manner: "You guys aren't a burden to me. You are people that I'm proud to have, my everything. Without you guys, I will be nothing."
"There's no way I will agree to join Devil Monarch Skysoul!"
"Believe in me!"
"Just like how you guys believed in me in the past, I will definitely create a miracle!"
"We still have one last day, so let us go crazy without anything holding us back!
Everyone raised their head to look at Maxwell. Everyone was clenching their fists as their hearts became entwined with each other!
They reminded themselves that they had to work hard on their cultivation. They had to desperately raise their cultivation levels to help Maxwell lessen his burden. Only then can they accompany Maxwell to walk further down his path.
Suddenly…
A system notification tone suddenly sounded off in Maxwell's mind!
"Crackle!"
