"You sure have some interesting… friends," the System God said as he watched his son wipe the blood from the corner of his lips.
Earlier, he knew that, when he used Rune Magic, his Father would also be able to use his own ability.
He did it for one reason and one reason only.
He was confident that no matter what his Father did, he would be able to land a killing blow, which would end the battle.
This had already taken into account all the abilities that the System God could use to counter his strike, which could even break a barrier due to his Anti-Barrier Rune, which he had also inscribed in the Arena.
But he never thought that his father would stoop so low as to use Tiona as a shield to prevent his killing blow from hitting its mark.
"My respect for you had already hit rock bottom, so I thought it can't possibly go lower," Thirteen said. "But today, you proved me wrong. You actually brought a shovel with you and dug deeper into the negatives."
