Chapter 1127: Chapter 528: Star Realm Exile

"..."

Finn held the pocket watch for a long time without speaking.

After finally obtaining what he had hoped for, he didn’t feel any excitement; instead, an overwhelming fatigue washed over him.

Nothing, it was all nothing.

Without Divine Format, he was still hopeless as a Demigod.

Even more so, because he acted forcefully, his power and status within the Witch Association would become unstable.

So, what were all his previous efforts even worth?

Was all of it worth it?

Also, what was Astrid’s cautious defense against him all for!!?

"That’s because with ill intentions in your heart, of course, others will treat you with caution; isn’t that hard to understand?"

Herbert, seeing through Finn’s thoughts, smiled faintly and said, "When you face others with malice, all you’ll receive in return is malice."

"Only sincerity can exchange for sincerity."

Listening to this grand discourse, Finn frowned and said discontentedly, "Are you lecturing me?"

"No, just some reflections, nothing more."

Herbert shook his head, extended his hand to Finn, signaling him to return the item.

Though he felt a hint of reluctance towards this Epic Artifact, after pondering for a few breaths, Finn placed the pocket watch back into Herbert’s palm.

It was just an Epic Artifact, after all. He couldn’t bring himself to be so low and shameless.

Once his long-cherished wish vanished, Finn felt much lighter, even the gloom between his eyebrows lessened significantly.

Although the path to becoming a Demigod remained without progress.

Yet, with his mental knots untied, he felt his road ahead was much clearer.

Maybe he didn’t need Divine Format to take another path.

Just when Finn, full of ambition, was ready to embrace the challenges ahead with a new demeanor, Herbert spoke untimely.

"Well, since this matter is resolved, we need to discuss another issue." Herbert smiled at Finn, his smile full of malice.

Friend, aren’t you celebrating a bit too early?

Finished laughing?

Then it’s my turn to laugh now.

"Sir Finn, it seems in recent days, for your own selfish reasons, you’ve caused quite a disturbance within the Witch Association, resulting in many innocent deaths because of you."

Herbert looked at Finn, his expression becoming calm and solemn, as he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, slowly saying, "Regarding this matter, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation, or else..."

Clang—

The sound of the sword slowly unsheathing instantly brought their improving ambiance to below freezing, Finn put away his relieved smile and looked at Herbert with an indifferent expression.

"Even if I’ve done these things, what does it matter to an outsider like you? Are you planning to judge me? Just you, a Legendary Paladin?"

"Here, in the territory of the Witch Association, your Divine has no protection over you."

"Godslayer, you don’t have that qualification yet."

The Witch Association’s territory was equipped with a magical barrier to resist Divine attacks.

Although the time isn’t long, it’s enough for Finn to give Herbert a painful lesson.

Just as Finn was about to make a move, a sudden elderly voice came from behind the smiling Herbert.

"If he doesn’t have the qualification, then do I?"

!!!

Hearing this voice, Finn’s gathered momentum immediately dissipated, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "President!!?"

Before his shocked eyes, the elderly Mage, who had been secluded for centuries, appeared from thin air.

Unlike general female Mages who like to maintain a youthful appearance, the President of the Witch Association wore an elegant silver gown but allowed her appearance to naturally age, resembling a woman in her sixties or seventies.

As the strongest in the Witch Association and the true authority, the President’s attitude was extremely resolute.

"Astrid has already told me everything."

"I never thought you would betray the entire Witch Association for something so trivial."

She didn’t even give Finn a chance to speak, directly characterizing the matter.

This was a betrayal that could not be accepted.

Whether Finn truly intended to seize the pocket watch or really wanted to overthrow the Witch Association, none of these mattered anymore.

He had now become a traitor to the entire Witch Association.

"Finn, you have truly let down my trust in you."

The President stared at a suddenly changed-faced Finn, waited for a moment, and a flicker of regret crossed her cold face as she shook her head and quietly said:

"You truly have disappointed me."

"Even now, you still haven’t understood — the gap between us isn’t something that can be bridged with a bit of wits."

"Instead of admitting mistakes, you’ve chosen this path."

She gazed at the grim-faced Epic Grand Mage, sighed as if with some heartache: "Have you forgotten? This unique instant-cast technique of spellcasting, I taught you back then."

Then, amidst Finn’s color-changing expression, she waved her Ice Crystal Magic Staff.

In the next moment, Herbert witnessed the most dazzling magic brilliance in his life, insanely exploding before his eyes!

That blinding brilliance almost directly blinded his eyes.

[Magic Dispel·Instantaneous Effect Magic], [Magic Counter·Instantaneous Effect Magic], [Splitting Skill·Instantaneous Effect Magic], [Luxury Great Splitting Skill·Instantaneous Effect Magic]...

In terms of hard power, Finn, who ranks mid-upper among all Epics, appeared like a babbling child unable to resist at all in front of the President of the Witch Association.
