As the phantom image of the Temple of Truth faded, Terenas relinquished his chance at god.
His resurrection had been a blessing in disguise, allowing him to break through to new heights of power.
Even among Ultimate Lords, Terenas was now a top contender.
As the phantom image disappeared completely, Terenas looked up at the sky.
He hesitated, then released his staff, taking a half step back and kneeling on one knee. His voice, filled with awe, was barely a whisper.
"I am at your service."
The invisible barrier dissipated, revealing Mike and his companions.
The Shadows stood behind Mike, silently observing the scene.
A newly ascended Ultimate Lord, a figure of immense power and influence, was pledging allegiance to Thor.
Terenas, due to his past actions, had a lot of baggage:
He had killed Richard Sterling with his own hands. As a Demon Cult Leader, he had spilled a lot of blood.
