Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

RUMBLE!RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

In the sky above Aetheria Prime, clouds began to condense, and lightning was raging in the clouds.

The lightning tribulation that engulfed the capital of Aetheria Prime was a spectacular display of nature's fury, sparked by the breakthrough of a powerful Cultivator.

Bolts of electricity crackled and danced across the sky, illuminating the city in a dazzling array of light. Thunder roared like a fierce symphony, echoing through the streets as if a person wrestled with the forces of the universe to ascend to a higher level of power.

Citizens watched in awe and fear as the heavens seemed to unleash their wrath upon the city, a testament to the immense energy being harnessed by the person as they challenged nature to ascend higher.

Feeling the terrifying coercion of the strong man and lightning tribulation, the entire capital raised their heads and stared at the dark clouds at the same time.

"Which genius is breaking through now?"

"Could it be Seph?"

"But which stage is it that is strong enough to distort the clouds and entire atmosphere? And what a terrifying pressure."

A breakthrough that is affecting the whole world, so everyone understands that this wasn't a normal one as most of the powerful people's breakthroughs are out in space so even if they knew about it, most of them haven't seen it with their naked eyes.

To greet and pay respect, the higher-ups and all the bigger families started to move.

Befort, Elior, Smith, Wang, Su, Ling.

All of them hurried there to the center of the vortex.

Even the Royal Family Tang, which stayed hidden, sent one of their Martial saint named Tang Hao.

Seph stared at the sky with a jovial expression. His expression changed a bit as he felt a grave pressure.

Three Martial Saints appeared above the place.

Wang Tianmeng, Tang Hao, and Maz Befort.

Once you become a Martial Saint, you will have to act as a protector in the Dimensional Zone and you can only take a few day's holidays which will be replaced by others but this time a big gap has been formed as many Martial Saints had taken a leave.

And the reason was to take part in their granddaughter's marriages.

And their groom?

Of course, it's him.

In a few days, he will be marrying Ella Befort followed by another wedding with Wang Lin.

"Not bad…Not bad?"

A flickering light emerged from an old man as he caressed his beard.

"Welcome Saints."

"No need to greet us...Huh?"

Maz's eyes shone strangely as he observed Seph and his eyes gleamed in joy.

"HOHOHO!Boy, I am pleasantly surprised now.20 years ago, you had already reached this stage….. See, this is my grandson-in-law."

"He is also my grandson-in-law."Wang Tianmeng spoke triumphantly.

Tang Hao's lips twitched as he looked at Seph and then at the two old men.

"Don't be too smug. If this goes on, soon you will have to call him your brother."

The two expressions suddenly turned solemn due to the sudden realization and they soon started to bicker.

Meanwhile, Seph greeted the other representatives who slowly started to arrive.

"Son-in-law, congratulations on having a Martial Ancestor, "Lex screamed and hugged Seph.

At the side, Wang Tin, the father of Wang Lin, also pulled Sepj to the side with a smug look.

"Can you stop fighting?"Seph muttered with a helpless look.

Seph freed himself and met the other representatives of the family.

"Hello Uncle Su?"Seph muttered shaking hands with Su Tang

"Haaa!You have grown into a fine man."Su Yang muttered.

"It's all due to Mrs Su's teaching."

"Haa!That kid."Su Yang gave a bitter smile and wondered if her daughter Su Lin would be this thoughtful enough.

Each one of them was a Martial Emperor but Seph didn't lower himself as he was already in a position to stand before them.

BOOOOOOOM!

With a last purge of the explosion, a figure suddenly blasted down and landed on the ground.

The lightning tribulation wasn't fierce as once the heaven felt that you weren't breaking to a higher realm but rather to the side realm of Martial Ancestor, it would soon lessen the impact.

The old man with a gleeful smile caressed his beard.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Hahaha!Thanks for appearing here on this old man's breakthrough."

"I wanted to throw a feast but since there is a wedding, let's just keep it to them. I will pull out Blood Dragon Wine, you all deserve it."

"Hehehee!Then we won't be polite, "Wang Tiamning shouted and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Tang, let's make sure to empty it, "Maz answered with a smile.

"Of course, how can I let go of this opportunity?"Tang Hao smiled mysteriously.

At that time, Seph coughed to turn everyone's attention to him.

"Hmmm! Now that everyone is here, can everyone lend me a hand?"

"Yes Seph, what do you want?"

"Yeah, Seph, is it because of something serious?"

Seph smiled and answered, "It's not a big problem. I just want to put in a formal proposal."

"We have all suffered severe loss in the Shadow zone so why don't we make up for it."

"The Queen had been running too rampant. So, let's just get rid of her and take over the entire underground."

A brief silence lingered and the flow of air became heavier…

........

In a dimly lit room tinted with reddish-black hues, Sophia and her younger sister, Feng Ruoxi, sat across from each other, their faces wearing solemn expressions.

The only source of light emanated from a flickering candle placed beside the chessboard, casting eerie shadows on the walls.

The atmosphere was tense as the sisters focused intently on the game before them, each contemplating their next move with unwavering determination.

Despite the quietness of the room, the air was heavy with anticipation, as if every move on the chessboard carried profound significance.

"Checkmate!"

"Damn!"Feng Ruoxi cursed and pulled her hair.

"Why do I lose every time?"Feng Ruoxi clicked her tongue in annoyance.

Sophia smiled faintly after toying with Feng Ruoxi, "That's because you are too overprotective. While trying to defend the king, you often turn a blind eye to others."

"Even in real life, if there is someone strong enough you can't defeat. Starting with the weaker ones or with the person closer to them would slowly make them slip and lose."

"Is that all?"Feng Ruoxi asked with a skeptical glance.

"Of course, there is another reason," Sophia muttered, folding her hands over her chest.

"What is it?"Feng Ruoxi asked with a fiery expression.

"It's because you are stupid."

PFTT

Feng Ruoxi almost choked when she heard this.

"Sister…You…"

BANG!

Before she could scream, the door of the room was banged open and a woman dressed in a black suit barged in and shouted in panic.

"Madam, we are in trouble."
