"How kind of you to warn us," Noah mocked. "Still, I think we will continue our mission anyway."
"You fail to understand my words," Caesar exclaimed. "The strings of fate are already in place. You won't move forward."
Noah's cold eyes moved over Caesar before falling on the path ahead. He took a step forward, but the world around him suddenly twisted to bring him back in his previous position.
The event didn't feature any teleport or actual change. The step forward had ceased to exist. According to the fabric of reality, Noah didn't move at all.
"Don't take it personally," Caesar chuckled. "Everything I do is for Heaven and Earth's sake. You simply happen to be the best key toward their perfect state.
"Do you know him?" Emperor asked as he raised a hand and unleashed his aura to prepare an attack.
Noah glanced at King Elbas, and the latter took a step forward. Nothing happened after the gesture, which only intensified the group's confusion.
