Chapter 28: An Absurd Choice

If there were Elders who could destroy cities in anger, then she was someone who was capable of destroying half the continent.

That\'s why the Four Overlords of the Continent were the Supreme Beings. They were comparable to gods in this world.

There was no ranking amongst the four Overlords as they had never fought directly, and it was because of good reason.

The continent couldn\'t survive a battle between the Overlords. That\'s why the four Overlords had established a rule.

The continent was divided into four territories, each overseen by an Overlord.

The Eastern Territory was under Feng Yu, the Sect Master of the Great Demon Sect.

The Western Territory was under Evangeline, the Holy Priestess of the Church of Goddess Seraphina.

The Southern Territory was under Mist, who was the Dean of Mythical Hero Academy.

And lastly, the Northern Territory was under the Death Monarch, who was the Tower Master of the Necromancer Tower.

None of the Four Overlords were allowed to leave their territory as per their established rule. Similarly, they couldn\'t directly intervene in territories governed by other Overlords.

Even then, there were many ways to mess with one other. Even though the Overlords couldn\'t get involved, it didn\'t mean that there weren\'t conflicts.

The Mythical Hero Academy of the South and the Great Demon Sect of the East was always in conflict. Both sides had killed people from the other side.

At the same time, the Holy Church in the West was in conflict with the Necromancer Tower in the North.

Fortunately, none of the conflicts had escalated beyond the point of no return. The Overlords also kept their oaths and didn\'t interfere.

Standing in the library, Eren gulped down as he heard a cold voice coming from behind him.

Although the person hadn\'t revealed their aura, Eren felt as if he was shoved in the cold sea of hell. He felt as if an apex predator was standing behind him.

There was only one person who could give him this feeling that even Zhang Wei or the Great Elder couldn\'t.

It was the Sect Master of the Great Demon Sect, one of the four Overlords.

Eren didn\'t know how to get out of this situation. In front of him, there was the Great Elder of the Sect who was on her knees.

How could he explain this situation? He couldn\'t tell her that the Great Elder was in his control. Let alone finishing the explanation, he might be killed before he could even start to explain.

Could he say that the Great Elder was trying to kill him? If he did that, his abilities might come into question.

It would expose the Pendant of Protection and he might have to give it up. And if the Sect Master asked him to explain its origins, there was no way for him to do that.

"I asked, what\'s happening here?" The Sect Master asked again.

As Eren was thinking of a way out of the situation, some options appeared before him. For the first time, he wasn\'t cursing the options. Instead, he was glad that he had some guidance.

\'As long as I choose the second option, I will... Huh?\'

Just as he had gotten happy, he saw the options, his smile disappearing.

\'You f*cker, how is that the safest option?!\'

[Option One: You are innocent. You are nothing but a victim. Tell the sect master how you were almost killed by the Great Elder of the Sect, and ask for justice.

Reward: Pendant of Attack (Rare Tier)]

[Option Two: A Conqueror never needs anyone\'s help. You have already handled the matter. How can you let someone else interfere?

Tell the Sect Master that it\'s a matter between you and Xiu Ying and she should stay out of it.

Reward: A meeting with ###### (Unknown)]

[Option Three: You are walking the path of a Lover. How can you talk back to your future wife? But the Great Elder had also fallen for you. Shouldn\'t a man take responsibility? You can\'t abandon her either.

Tell the Sect Master that the Great Elder was teaching you a skill since she appreciated your potential.

Reward: Fire Dragon Robe (Rare)]

[Option Four: Tell the Sect Master that there was only a minor misunderstanding between you and the Great Elder, which had been resolved. Leave after explaining, without looking back.

Reward: Great Sword Arkalian (Rare)]

Eren looked at the options, blankly. Just as he had started trusting the pattern, he was granted another suspicious choice.

From no angle did the second option look the safest. How could he talk back to the strongest person in the Eastern Region. Wasn\'t that no different than courting death?

As for the third option, the Sect Master would have to be an idiot to believe that the Great Elder was giving guidance.

The Sect Master had known the Great Elder for the longest time. It was impossible for her to fall for such a ruse.

For him, the fourth option looked safest. There was also the first option, which made slight sense. He wasn\'t at fault after all. But still, he couldn\'t select the first option.

He had already been burnt by the first option once. He didn\'t want to try again.

\'Urgh, fine! I will trust the pattern one last time. But if I die, I will never forgive you, damn system!\'

Eren took a deep breath, as he made a choice.

He didn\'t know what the reward for the option was. All it said was that he was allowed a meeting. But the name of the person was blurry, making it impossible for him to read the next word.

He didn\'t know who he was going to meet. And the reward rank was also unknown. But for now, it didn\'t matter.

"It\'s a matter between me and the Great Elder. And I have already resolved it. You don\'t need to interfere," Eren spoke, his heart beating faster than usual.

As he finished speaking, he started leaving the library, expecting his head to fly off at any moment.
