Nox scanned the Ironhands with his divine sense, but he felt no aura and couldn't discern their strength, but he could figure out who their leader was. There was a gigantic model within the Ironhands. He was about thirty feet tall and looked like a titan. He was chief among the Ironhands.The gigantic puppet noticed Nox, and he approached him. The titanic puppet bowed. "I am the leader of the Ironhands. Greetings, Nine-State Lord." He spoke Faeastian. Though it was stiff, everyone got what he meant."He speaks our language?" Nineve was stunned. Aphrodite knew about this a long time ago, but now she was sure the Ironhands' leader knew Cassian.Nox cut to the chase, "Where's Cassian? He's my grandfather.""The Three-Eyed Clan took him a few days ago. We're what's left of the Ironhands. I suspect the empress shepherded us here on purpose. She has her eyes on you," said the leader of the Ironhands."Did she, now? Very well. Tell me something I don't know," said Nox.The leader paused

Voltaic summoned his will-of-the-sword. If his friend were to lose, he would keep Kirin pinned down. Voltaic might be friends with Nox, but that didn't mean he would let Nox's friend do whatever he wanted.Aphrodite shook her head. This was a headache for her. "Cultivators. Arrogant toerags who think they're the heavens' gift to the world. Only power matters. You can be smart, but you'll still have to serve the powerful in the end." She sighed.She refused to serve Nox and tried to control him. Look what that got her into. He saved her life, and now she couldn't even have a say in what she could do with it. Aphrodite knew Mufasa was in for a beating.And she was right. Kirin would not hold back against Mufasa. "What makes you think I should answer you? If you'd become a real sacred beast or control sacred beast essence, I might deign to talk to you, but you're just a servant. You do not get to give me that attitude." Kirin sneered.Mufasa was stunned. 'What? I gave him no attitude

Kirin, however, felt insulted that the punch's power was this weak. "You did this to yourself, old man." He headbutted the punch and crushed it without any problem at all."What? Who are you?" Mufasa couldn't believe this. Voltaic seemed to be on edge as well.Kirin flew into the air, and golden Saint power flowed from his body. The energy conjured bones and vessels. It was about a thousand feet tall, dwarfing the golden lion. Then, flesh appeared, and a ball of fire covered it up.A golden kirin was born. Even Nox looked surprised, let alone everyone else. "He created a sacred beast. I can control one, but he did devour one. He is kirin itself," Nox said."Kirin?" Aphrodite did not look happy at all. Now she knew she stood no chance since the beginning. If Nox had summoned Kirin earlier, she and her family would be gone by now. He never called upon Kirin because he never thought she was a worthy enemy."Whoa, what kind of sacred beast is that? Feels stronger than the Generals." Q

"As you've said, the empress knew I would come sooner or later. She took Grandpa to lure me into her city. I have no choice but to walk into her trap," said Nox. His plan was to take Cassian and go, but then he found out the empress' plan would harm Faeast, so he needed to kill her too.At the same time, the Ironhands offered their help in the fight against the Three-Eyed Clan. Nox declined, "No. They're too powerful, and you can't be of help. One question, though. If I kill the empress and destroy this domain, can you survive?" he asked the leader.The leader didn't answer. He pointed at his metallic body and looked at his people. "Look at us. Do we look alive to you?"Aphrodite snorted. "You know the answer to your question. You know these people are just soulless husks. Even you can't help them. You try your best not to be heartless, but you're the one who's ditching them in the end."Nox noticed the hidden complaint in that retort. "Are you acting up again?" Nox looked at her a

"Doesn't matter. I'm going to see their boss anyway, so might as well get the lackeys out of the way." Nox stretched and summoned lightning from the skies to cover himself in Quintuple Lightning. He dashed ahead.He crashed into the formation, and waves of spiritual energy surged. Explosions rattled the air. Nox lashed out with his lightning and cut through the metal puppets. The puppets shattered, leaving only shards and chunks of their bodies behind.Aphrodite sighed. "Shame. If Faeast takes these puppets, we will have nothing to fear." She thought it was a waste to destroy all these puppets."You wish. Only the Ironhands know how to maintain this stuff. None of us are good at contraptions. Well, technically, one family was good at it, but they chose the wrong path and got wiped out. Even if we take all these puppets back, I give it months before they give out. Tops."Also, an army of puppets this big needs a lot of spiritual energy to maintain. We don't have that much in our res
