Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 469

Kyle just looked at the Duchess of Twilight for a while, who just kept looking back.

She was definitely mentally there since there were some movements of life in her. She was also blinking occasionally.

But she just remained quiet.

"Okay, then," Kyle said after some seconds as he slowly moved back to the gate. "I will just take that as a yes. If you have any objections, feel free to tell me."

Kyle took hold of the gate and pulled.

"Take as much time as you need," the Duchess of Twilight suddenly said.

"Oh?" Kyle answered, looking back. "Thank you! If you want me to repay you for the favor, just ask."

"I want you to promise me something," she spoke from her throne.

Kyle blinked a couple of times.

'That was quick.'

"Yeah, sure, what do you need?" Kyle asked, letting go of the handle of the gate.

"I want you to take my spot," she said with an ethereal voice.

"Your spot?" Kyle asked. "You mean as… the leader of the Twilight Duchy?"

Just now, Kyle wanted to say that he would take her spot as Overseer, but his instincts said that this was not a good idea, which was why he switched.

It just felt like a bad thing to say.

"No," the Duchess of Twilight said as she slowly stood up and walked away from her throne. "As Overseer."

"Overseer?" Kyle asked, his suspicions confirmed. "I'm not quite sure what you mean."

The Duchess of Twilight walked to one of the windows in her hall and looked out.

"The official ruler of this world," she said.

"I know what official means," Kyle said, "but it feels like there's more to this word in this context. It's not just about being the strongest. Am I correct?"

"You are correct," the Duchess of Twilight said.

Then, she glanced at Kyle with a cold gaze. "You don't seem concerned when I said THIS world," she added.

"I already suspected that there would be more worlds," Kyle said. "I mean, the Cult of Final Fate believes in some kind of God, and this God's power seems to be much more powerful than anything in this world if I were to believe their words. No offense."

Kyle had essentially told the strongest being in the world that they were not the strongest being in the world. He just hoped that she wouldn't take this as an insult.

The Duchess of Twilight looked back at the window. "The Cult of Final Fate and their God," she said before trailing off.

A couple of seconds of silence passed.

"They are a far bigger problem than you can imagine," she added. "And yes, their God exists."

Then, she looked at the ground. "And he is an unimaginable threat to our very existence."

"That sounds troublesome," Kyle said.

The Duchess of Twilight nodded without looking at Kyle. "His influence is weak in this world, but even with his weak influence, he is still a danger."

"But this is not our fight," she said. "People much more powerful than I are fighting this war. People of our level are nothing but new recruits."
