The two pairs of pale golden eyes met, and for a moment, no one spoke.
Roa simply didn't know what to say, while Orsted had become accustomed to being silent and taciturn after not speaking for so long.
Roa couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and coughed lightly, asking, "What are your plans for the future?"
Orsted stared at Roa in silence, making Roa feel a little uncomfortable, before slowly saying, "I am your subordinate from now on. I should listen to your arrangements now."
Roa noticed a habit of Orsted's: when Orsted spoke, he liked to look the other person in the eye, staring directly at them.
Roa shook his head and said seriously, "Orsted, although you are my subordinate, we should actually be described as allies. If you have any ideas or good suggestions, you can bring them up. Our goal is the Human God. How can we better deal with the Human God? That is our goal."
Roa paused here, deliberately observing Orsted's expression.
Finding that Orsted still had that cold expression, Roa gave up the idea of looking for answers from Orsted's expression.
But giving up was giving up, Roa still sincerely said: "We are allies, we can say anything to each other."
After hearing Roa's words, Orsted fell into a brief silence before slowly nodding.
Roa breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What are your plans for the future?"
Orsted glanced at Roa, thought for a while and then said: "I was thinking that if I could successfully kill you, I would go to other countries around to take a look. There are no particularly important things happening at this point in time. The only thing to ensure is my life."
Speaking of this, Orsted was silent for a while before continuing: "Of course, I didn't expect you to be so ridiculously strong."
"If I knew you were so strong, I probably wouldn't have attacked you, right?"
Orsted seemed to be talking to himself, but he was saying what was on his mind.
He was not good at hiding his thoughts, or rather, he didn't care much about these things.
Roa smiled and casually said, "Is it to save mana?"
Orsted nodded slightly, not denying it.
There was a fireplace in the room, and the fire illuminated the entire room. The winter wind could not blow into this spacious house, and the cold wind was blocked outside.
Inside and outside the house were two distinct worlds.
Chatting with Orsted was a somewhat laborious process.
Orsted didn't like to talk throughout the whole process, and he always had a stinky face. Sometimes, when chatting, it was easy to get stuck and not know what to say.
But fortunately, Orsted didn't have the desire to keep chatting. He just casually talked a few more words, and Orsted returned to his own room without saying a word.
Orsted's pace was still heavy. After he left, Roa realized that Eris and Roxy, who had been sleeping, were now awake.
Roa scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Did I disturb your rest?"
Eris and Roxy looked at each other. Roxy didn't speak, but stepped forward and gave Roa a hug.
Roa opened his arms and let the girl hug him.
At this moment, Roa realized that Roxy's petite body was constantly trembling.
Roa's eyes turned to Eris, who was sitting aside.
Eris's thoughts were always easy to guess, and indeed, at this moment, Eris was looking at Roa with a worried expression.
The reactions of the two made Roa reveal a helpless smile. Roa said, "Hey, don't make such expressions. I'm not going to be okay. Look, aren't I living well now?"
Hearing Roa's words, Roxy then said, "When you were sent over by that scary-looking man, I was really taken aback. You looked seriously injured. Gal and the Water God even planned to intervene."
Eris chimed in from the side, "That guy, the man who carried you, is really unbelievably strong. Just standing there, he gave me a sense of being unbeatable."
Roa just smiled at Eris and Roxy's comments.
Just kidding, the strongest man in the world isn't just for show. The Dragon God can intimidate everyone just by standing there.
Could the man who could move freely in the Third Stage of Moment, severing one of Roa's arms and legs, be a simple person?
Although the consumption of magic power is a weakness, the title of the strongest in the world is well-deserved.
Of course, now the strongest in this world probably has to be someone else.
In hundreds of reincarnations, he experienced the same thing over and over again, tasted loneliness over and over again, and every time he woke up, he had to carefully examine the surrounding environment to see if he had returned to that dark, silent forest again.
Every day was lived very hard.
Many people say that the strong are lonely, and the strong are destined to have no companions.
Orsted didn't know how credible this statement was.
But for Orsted, he really had no partners.
The so-called hardship didn't mean that he needed to worry about survival, but rather the sense of loneliness that lingered in his heart.
Roa didn't understand that sense of loneliness, but if Roa were constantly trapped in the same time loop, even Roa would feel a deep sense of fatigue and powerlessness.
But Orsted was able to endure this loneliness, which was quite remarkable.
Being surrounded by family is a very happy thing. Just quietly watching them, watching their happy smiles, Roa felt full of strength.
So, fight for your family?
Roxy's small head in his arms nudged forward, the girl always liked to act spoiled in this way.
The smile on Roa's lips grew even more.
…
The coup in the Asura Kingdom was launched quickly. With Roa as the representative of high-end combat power sitting in the capital of Asura, this coup was like a blizzard in winter, fast and fierce.
This winter lasted a long time, long enough that the weather didn't warm up until February of the following year.
The world was still a vast expanse of white, with heavy snow covering the entire Asura Kingdom.
The armed suppression worked well. Although Roa was injured and couldn't act freely in the short term, he had a bunch of experts standing by his side.
