"If this Yama King were to succeed and make a name for himself, his first priority would be to purge rebels like you all."
Elder Heiyu and the others had subtle shifts in their expressions. If one were to compare the Netherworld to a mortal dynasty, there was a certain logic to what the man said. Compared to others, they were all like feudal lords; no matter who eventually claimed the throne, they would not be wiped out entirely. But the Yama King before them was like the last emperor of a dying dynasty—he held the title in name only, lacking the ability to make the other lords bow.
Now, all the lords were busy undermining the foundations of this "last emperor." If he were to ever consolidate power, would he not purge them?
