Chapter 294: His goal…
Thaloren shook his head and said heavily, "It’s not just difficult—it’s damn near impossible now. Sea King Maelthorak’s injuries could’ve been healed, sure. But the real problem is his Crimson Ultimate Hero’s Primordial Force—it’s been damaged so badly, there’s almost no saving it."
He paused, then added, "And more importantly, to save him... someone would have to give up their own Crimson Ultimate Hero’s Primordial Force. Now tell me—who the hell would be willing to do that?"
Ethan fell silent.
Asking a Crimson Ultimate Hero—someone already insanely powerful—to give up their own Primordial Force just to save an injured comrade? Even if someone was willing, it just didn’t make sense. The cost was too high. The trade-off? Totally not worth it.
Thaloren continued, his voice tinged with a strange mix of regret and realism. "Honestly, if Sea King Maelthorak dies... it might actually benefit a lot of people."
"Lord Valkarion, you should know this—if a Crimson Ultimate Hero wants to get stronger, one of the most effective ways is to absorb the Primordial Force of another Crimson Ultimate Hero with the same magical attribute and Tier."
"But getting your hands on that kind of Primordial Force—especially from a high-tier Crimson Ultimate Hero—is insanely hard. There’s really only one way to get it: defeat them... or kill them."
"You know how tough that is. I don’t need to spell it out for you."
"And Maelthorak? He wasn’t just any Crimson Ultimate Hero—he was a Sea King. One of the strongest."
"Do you have any idea how rare it is for someone at the King level to die under normal circumstances? It could take tens of thousands of years before something like that happens again."
"That’s why Maelthorak’s become a target. Everyone’s watching him now."
