The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

Time stood still.

An Su leaned casually against the window, basking in the warm glow of the setting sun. The early autumn breeze rustled the leaves outside, which whispered pleasantly as twilight covered the lonely courtyard. The shadows of elm and cypress trees spilled across the damp yard, filling the space with serene tranquility—such is the tale of peace in one's later years.

If one could ignore the muscled bald men being beaten and hurled out onto the street one by one, the bear-man stripped of all his fur, and the splattering juices and flailing tentacles of marine life, then the scene before one's eye might qualify as harmonious indeed.

So how did it all come to this…

Watching the battle erupting beyond the courtyard with merciless eyes, Arthur Sunny, nearly stripped bare, grappled desperately with monsters and demons, vowing to defend the last shred of dignity as a Sun Knight and to guard that delicate line of decorum.

The tougher Arthur fought, the more the brutes enjoyed it, finding more fun in his struggle. Their laughter grew more outrageous and hideous as more bloodthirsty men arrived, swarming to the fight… Such is the cruelty of battle between the strong.

Even the most fearsome Nether World in the starry sky couldn't possibly craft a more hellish painting than this.

Indeed, a dire predicament… An Su revealed a smile of resignation.

I held a freaking secret meeting, explicitly stressing the need for subtlety. I chose this quiet alley, even issued a dispelling order,

How did it escalate into such a commotion!

The Esoteric Sect Followers watched An Su's merciless demeanor with admiration, marveling at his nonchalant air—Ladder Brother truly had seen the world, daring to orchestrate such an abstract and sacrilegious spectacle under the Church's nose.

That is,

Hell Paradise.

They were all senior specialists of their respective esoteric orders, seasoned and well-versed in mystery after many years,

Yet neither public human sacrifices, mounting large-scale terror attacks, nor summoning Abyssal Demons in the Imperial Capital topped Ladder Brother's artistic aesthetic and sense of design. It was sacrilege within sacrilege, grinding the Radiant Goddess' face into the ground—humiliation and empowerment!

This man was a genius of chaotic art...

And Arthur, the great Serpent of Pain from the Painful Esoteric Sect, voluntarily became part of the game, willingly contributing such a perfect performance of sacrilege that drew countless strong adversaries. His fearless, dedicated spirit moved the Esoteric Sect Followers to tears.

Feeling the adoring gazes of the sect followers, An Su's face was streaked with black lines, thinking that surely the commotion couldn't get any louder.

But then a voice suddenly rang out from the door—

"Son, I'm here to kill you!"

From that moment, the art of chaos reached its pinnacle.

The sect followers watched in awe as a tower directly across the street was smashed to rubble. In the next instant, as the sky darkened and the terrifying Sun Flame descended from the clear sky, the ultimate warrior descended from the heavens, brandishing a Sun Giant Sword half a street block in length,

And the battle of the strong finally welcomed its peak,

The wielder of the Sun Flame, the contemporary head of the Sun Family, the God of War, Annand Sunny joined the fray!

Annand, also the guardian of the Southern Border, was the number one enemy of the Esoteric Sect Legion.

In terms of immediate threat, the impact of God of War Merlin on the Esoteric Sect Followers was greater than that of Magic God Merlin.

Because he was illiterate; he couldn't read surrender documents!

"To think that even this noble one has been summoned!" All sect followers showed terror and reverence, "Who now could stop him, who could possibly stand in the way!"

Then, one clever sect follower had a stroke of genius—Lister slapped his forehead in a moment of inspiration, as he realized his good brother Arthur was in dire straits. Moved by brotherly loyalty, he had to do something for his buddy.

True friendship shines in times of trouble.

With inspiration striking, Lister quickly slipped out the door, risking his life, and added a forbidden term to the [this room is under magic guidance, g.v; accepts electric shocks, baldness, sea creature play],

[Father and Son]

When Annand saw the decree on the door, being illiterate and cultureless, all rules and Order Decrees were ineffectual against him. Still, the rage in his heart flared even more intensely—he hated seeing words he couldn't read!

His anger became tangible, all directed towards Arthur.

Arthur, relying on his athletic ability and Solar Bloodline, was gaining the upper hand in the battle against the monsters. Just as he neared victory, he felt his hair stand on end and looked up to see a sea of fire descending from the sky.

Dad...?

Dad, why are you joining this gay sex party....

Could it be...

He turned in disbelief to glance at the decree by the door, the word [Father and Son] maximized his fear in an instant!

In that moment, he seemed to understand something.

Although Annand couldn't read, Arthur certainly could. He never imagined his father would also vie for his 'flower.'

You can't do this to me, Dad!

There was just one thing he couldn't accept!

Arthur roared in madness; as his life was threatened, his blood boiled like flames. He refused to believe his father was that kind of man, his eyes welling with tears as he looked up at Annand, imploringly—tell me you're only here to take my life, not my 'flower'!
