The Supreme War God Has Returned!

Chapter 003 – “Master, I Will Retire With You!”

*****

At this moment, all six men appeared completely frozen.

Their mouths hung open, their eyes stretched wide, and their jaw dropped to the ground, all of them gawking at Zach like men who had just discovered the sky could fall.

For years, they had wondered about his past, why he never smiled, and why his eyes had always been so cold and distant.

And yet…

The truth he just revealed shattered even the wildest guess they had ever made.

They had known Zach for a few years already… and yet they none of them had ever guessed that beneath his calm, composed exterior lay a wound so deep that it would have broken any one of them beyond repair.

Just like that, realization began to dawn on all six.

‘No wonder he had always been so merciless toward himself.’

‘I get it now…’

The six men… especially the four Gods of War, who understood Zach better than the remaining two, felt their bodies turn slightly weak, memories of the past few years with him rushing back with blinding clarity.

For the first time, they no longer see the invincible Supreme War God… but a man with burdens.

Then finally, they realized why Zach insisted on retiring even though he had just reached a level many dared not even dream about in their lifetime, leaving the six with an urgent, humiliating urge.

They wanted to punish themselves and hide their faces in shame for being so greedy, not wanting him to leave even after all the sacrifices he had made.

But before despair could fully consume them, one of the four Gods of War spoke, his voice cutting through the silence like a sharpened blade.

“Master,” he growled, his teeth clenched, and his voice both deep and resonant, almost vibrating with controlled rage, “I will also retire with you and follow to avenge your family.”

The words struck the others like lightning, and in the following second...

“We will too!” The remaining three Gods of War added without hesitation.

Even the President and the Patriarch, usually the most restrained among them, snapped into action, urgency flooding their tones.

“Supreme War God, please give me time to make arrangements, I will join you,” he shouted, almost stumbling over his own haste.

“Me too, Supreme War God!” the patriarch added. “Allow me to delegate my family duties to the next in line. I will also marshal all resources in my family to avenge your family!”

The six men reacted without the slightest trace of hesitation. Their fury and devotion flared in perfect unison, all of them appearing as though their minds moved as a single entity.

The air between them thickened with unspoken resolve, each heartbeat syncing with righteous anger.

‘How dare anyone harm the Supreme War God’s family?!’

‘He is the backbone of this nation, and yet some fools dared to destroy what he holds dear?!’

‘This debt must be fully paid in blood!’

A cold murderous intent spread through the tent... wild and unyielding.
