"Your brother is wavering. Waitara's treachery is on the brink of collapse."
As the words left his lips, Wynton's howls on the other end of the light band grew louder, morphing into inhuman
screams.
Zella clung to James' arm, her heart lodged in her throat.
Wynton's entire body becenveloped by the rampant leak of Waltraud Power and Spiritual Providence,
rendering his face unrecognizable. "James, please help him. | beg you. My brother isn't inherently bad. He's just
overly ambitious and competitive, so..."
James shook his head, looking helpless. Wynton had to save himself. All James could do was spare his life
temporarily after defeating him.
After a long while, the rampant Waltraud Power and Spiritual Providence around Wynton subsided, revealing his
body and face once more. He looked entirely different-his face pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth,
and his once red hair now white. Though still bound by the nine light bands, he suddenly seemed to have aged
countless years.

Slowly raising his head, Wynton panted heavily and called out, "James, | want to talk to you in private."
James glanced at Zella before releasing him.
As Zella followed James, taking just a few steps, Wynton shouted again. "Zella, go back to the formation, or I will
immediately choose to self-destruct." Zella's face turned pale with fright. "Brother..."
"Go back." James looked back at Zella. "Fennec and Hemera will accompany you. Don't wander around in the
formation."
Zella opened her mouth to speak but ultimately chose to retreat to the formation.
Only then did James slowly approach Wynton.
"You've won. Feeling proud?" Wynton stared intently at James.
James shrugged. "Perhaps the real winner is you."
Wynton chuckled coldly. "It seems you understand everything."
"State your terms," James said, sitting down slowly on the light band.
Wynton took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Are you certain | will agree?"
"We know each other well," James said with great emotion. "In the
myriad realms, you were the onet
one who defeatedwhen we were in the srealm.
"If I were in your position now, | would make the most sensible choice too."
Wynton was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.
"You despicable pretty boy, always so infuriating with that deceitful face."
James smiled faintly without rebutting.

"You've used my sister but never been willing to give her a rightful place. "Wynton glared at James fiercely. "Do
you think I will let you get what you want?"
James shrugged again, looking innocent. "If you want to punish me, you still need to state your terms."
"Fine, | have just one condition.”
Wynton squinted his eyes. "Marmet
