When I Return...

Skullius could only sigh. He could have sworn he had received at least a million threats in his lifetime. Some of them had been true and consequential, to be sure, but he begged to differ with the Blood-Risen Emperor's current one.

While he couldn't access his War Body fast enough if the Authority were to attack, he wouldn't die so abruptly - so easily. Not in his current state.

If he could bring just his nigh-inexhaustible reserves of Null Life Essence to the wider reality, he wouldn't even worry about the Primeval Deities anymore.

'If I could do that… I could definitely break free from the Common Reality Leagues entirely…' he thought.

But in truth, Skullius wasn't feeling too confrontational at the moment. He didn't think any tension so potent that it would lead to the destruction of the Null Verse would erupt either. He was sure Thorrn wasn't so conceited that he would actually try to kill him.
