It was clear to the old Sun King that the new Sun King cared more for him than the Snow King, but the look of shock on the new Sun King's face was more grating to see for the Sun King than the look of joy on the new Snow King's face.
Things got worse when the look of surprise on the face of the new Sun King changed to that of disappointment. This made the old Sun King feel ashamed.
So the Sun King said to his replacement, "Open your eyes wide and see what your future will be."
"Don't think I'm saying this because I'm trying to undermine you and your power. The truth is that your power has already been undermined when it became possible for more than one Sovereign to exist at a time."
"Now that there are two Sovereigns, the position of Sovereign is not special anymore. Even the position of the Sovereign is not secure anymore because you can be easily replaced by the invaders."
"Because of the struggle or dominion, the two of you will fight and kill each other. So very soon, one of you will turn out like me. Defeated and at your last legs"
He said this to warn the two of them of the danger they are in. He was being sincere about this, but he also said what he said to create discord and distrust between the new Sun King and the Snow King.
After advising them, he decided to switch to fully sowing discord, so he said, "Don't trust the invaders. If they can give you your power, they can take it away. If they can give out this kind of power for free, it means that they are stronger than you. So it is likely that you will become their servants and tools for their purpose."
He wanted to say more, but the small sword brought him to Void Claw as if he were an impaled fruit being dragged through the air. Void Claw captured him and sealed him.
Then Void Claw turned to Arthur and said, "You were just a little short of getting the price, Lightning Tyrant."
Then he smiled and said, "You're good, though. So maybe next time."
He spoke to encourage Arthur and to gloat a little bit. He didn't mean to gloat, but he was too proud of himself and couldn't help but show off a little.
After speaking, he threw the sealed container of the Sun King in the direction of the cloud of lightning in the distance. A hand came out of the cloud of lightning and grabbed the sealed container. Then the cloud of lightning disappeared with the container.
The hand belonged to the golem avatar of Thunder Drake. He and Lady Evergreen had been standing guard around the South Pole since the attack on the South Pole began.
Their job was to intercept the Sun King and prevent him from escaping. So if Void Claw and Arthur hadn't been there to stop the Sun King, they would have finished the job they started with the rank 5 ice bomb.
Now that Thunder Drake had gotten what they came for, he flew at his top speed to the domain of the Ethera tree. This was why the cloud of lightning disappeared. The cloud had lost its source of lightning.
Thunder Drake brought the sealed Sun King to the domain of the Ethera tree. Then he crushed the container and the Sun King within it. This caused the death of the Sun King.
The Sun King exploded when he died. This explosion was minor and unintended, unlike the previous ones. The explosion was caused by the rapid loss of the power of the Sun King into the world.
This kind of explosion always happens when a Sovereign dies for whatever reason or another. It occurs because their power is returning to the world.
When a Sovereign dies, the explosion caused by their death usually harms everything around them. So the death of a Sovereign is usually accompanied by the death of many people. This is a double loss to the race that is in control of the world.
Not only do they lose their Sovereign and the lives of many people who were around the Sovereign when he or she dies, but the power that was released into the world after the death of the Sovereign will go in search of a new candidate to empower.
The power that used to belong to the Sovereign will hover in the sky for a while, creating a colorful aurora that signifies the death of the Sovereign to the entire world. The race that used to have the Sovereign will mourn the death of the Sovereign, while the other race will begin to fight each other for the chance to become the Sovereign.
In this case, the Vulcans are supposed to mourn the death of the Sun King, while the Tundras will fight each other in order to display their talent and impress the world spirit. The Tundra that distinguishes itself or herself will then be chosen by the aurora in the sky to become the new Sovereign.
The aurora in the sky will fall from the sky onto the talented tundra and elevate them in power until they reach the peak of power in the world. That is how a new Sovereign is usually born.
This is the normal process, but it was interfered with and circumvented by the gem people when they invaded the world. The gem people crippled the Snow Queen until she couldn't fight back. Then they made the traitor who helped them gain access to Aries eat what was left of her.
She still had a sliver of life within her before she was fed to the traitor, so it was the traitor who killed her. This fact was enough to impress the world spirit. So the world spirit didn't bother to look for a talented Vulcan and directly chose the traitor to become the new Sovereign.
