His arrival startled everyone. The Three Nations were somehow late to react; they were still processing what happened to one of the leaders of their camp.
On the clan's side, they were almost the same, but the difference was the conflicted expression that went through their faces before they all collectively sighed in despair.
Rise's almost emotionless gaze swept with others.
He did not care about the higher-ups of the Three Nations. For him, they had already been tainted by the author once they collaborated with their minions.
Rise had no qualms about absorbing enemies as his subordinates; he had been doing that since the start of his plan. However, there were instances where he clearly drew the line. One was Epsilon, the other was the author themselves.
They were considered his mortal enemy; only one of them could exist. There was no need for any reason, Rise would wipe them all out.
Redemption arc was not necessary, not for him, and definitely not for them.
