Dragon Head stared at Thomas in surprise. He could not believe that Thomas would still defeat him after the Ancestral Water triggered his potential.It was impossible.All of his potential had been triggered, and he had surpassed every "human being."There would be no problem for him to fight one hundred people alone.That was the truth. When ten members of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs attacked, Dragon Head managed to defeat all of them without any pressure. A regular person would not have been able to compare.Thomas had also gotten terribly beaten up when he used all his strength earlier.How did Thomas recover so quickly?Besides, there was an extreme increase in his strength. He was stronger than Dragon Head, whose potential had been unleashed!That was completely abnormal, right?It seemed like no matter how strong Dragon Head became, Thomas would always grow stronger than him. It really annoyed Dragon Head.“Are you a cockroach? Why can’t I kill you? It doesn’t matter whet
Dragon Head, the demon who caused disasters in the world, was finally destroyed.In the hospital, Thomas slowly opened his eyes and saw the Twelve Golden Zodiacs, as well as Eric. They were standing in front of his hospital bed while staring at him with concern.He had not felt that way for a long time.Ever since Thomas became the God of War, he had not suffered such severe injuries for a long time.One had to admit that Dragon Head was incredibly strong.He was the only person who could push Thomas to his limit.There might not be an enemy as strong as him anymore.“Don’t surround me like that. I’m not used to it,” Thomas slowly said in a deep voice.Eric chuckled. “We’re just concerned about your injuries. That big demon, Dragon Head, has finally been destroyed. All of Luck's strongest forces have been cleared. Luck is now a one-band organization. It’s time for us to launch a total attack.”Thomas asked, “Are you going to eliminate Luck straight away?”Eric answered, “We s
Lord Vedastus took action according to Lucia’s suggestion. He used Art Trading Corporation as a bargaining chip and announced a kill order to the world: Art Trading Corporation would be handed over to the person who could kill Thomas!Although Art Trading Corporation was already falling apart, it was still a huge enterprise at the end of the day. It was worth about $10,000,000,000.A great reward would bring forth a brave man. When so much money was offered, some excellent killers would definitely sign up.That was the truth.Less than half a day after the kill order was announced, a large number of killers had made their way to Art Trading Corporation.Some came from East Ocean, some came from West Ocean, some were professional hitmen, and others were just normal individuals.There were various kinds of people.Anyone who was a ranked killer in the world had basically arrived.Naturally, it was unrealistic to let so many people go out there and kill Thomas. It was about assass
Odissan had disappeared for a very long time.Yet, nobody ever doubted his skills. The number one hitman in the underworld had always been Odissan, and that did not change even after many years.The miracles that he had created were very difficult for the younger generation to replicate.When Lord Vedastus learned that the man in black outfit was the famous Odissan, he was extremely surprised. He bowed and said, “It’s my honor to welcome you back!”“I just want your money. Get your company in order. After I kill Thomas tonight, I'll return to take over your position,” Odissan said coldly.After he said that, he left Art Trading Corporation proudly.Lord Vedastus stared at Odissan’s departing silhouette, and confidently said, “Thomas’ injuries from his battle with Dragon Head have not recovered. Now he's about to encounter a challenge from the top expert, Odissan. I refuse to believe that he'll make it out alive!”Odissan stood before the entrance of Caring Hospital while he star
Thomas turned around and looked at the dead body that lay on the floor. His eyes were filled with confusion.Although Odissan was quite strong, he seemed very different from the legendary man.At least, in Thomas’ opinion, his current standard was not sufficient for him to rank first on the leaderboard of killers. Had Odissan’s skills become worse following his five-year retirement?Others could not be bothered with it. They just thought that Thomas was too amazing.Pisces ran over excitedly and said, “Number one on the killer leaderboard? He's on such a low level. It was vicious for him to challenge you when you’re severely injured, but he was defeated with one move. How lousy.”Thomas kept his knife and said, “Take care of his dead body. Don’t let anyone insult him. We have to respect someone who practiced martial arts.”Pisces nodded. “I got it! Just leave the rest to me. Commander, please go back and rest.”Thomas coughed for a while before he left the scene.Then, Pisces a
“Commander, another Odissan Solis has come to challenge you!” Pisces ran into the ward anxiously.Were they messing with twins? They had killed an Odissan, and another one had appeared.What was going on?However, Thomas appeared very calm as if he had expected this to happen from the beginning.He nodded and said, “It's as I anticipated.”Pisces was bewildered, and he asked, “Why is that so, Commander?”Thomas answered, “Actually, I already felt it when we previously fought. That Odissan was quite capable, but he still had a long way to go before he could rank first on the killer leaderboard. At that time, I was wondering if he was fake, and it turns out, that was true.”When Pisces heard that, he felt more worried.The imposter had already been quite capable, and the current Odissan was the original. Would he not be much stronger?Could Thomas handle this in his present condition?“Commander, no matter what, you can’t fight this time.“Why don’t you just let me fight?“Si
Theoretically, both of them should have avoided each other in that situation.But Odissan did not.He knew that he would lose, and there was no way for him to defeat Thomas, so why should he avoid anything? It would be better for him to go all out and let them die together!Shick! His sword pierced Thomas’ chest.However, Thomas’ knife stopped above Odissan’s head, and he did not bring it down.Odissan wanted to kill Thomas during their battle, but Thomas held back.“Why?”Odissan looked at Thomas in shock. He did not understand why Thomas would hold back. He was already prepared to die with Thomas.Blood seeped out from the corner of Thomas’ lips. He stared at a flustered Odissan before he smiled faintly and said, “I lost my younger brother too, so I know the pain and responsibility you feel. If my death can free you, I’ll willingly accept it. Odissan, you remind me too much of my past self.”Thomas' words left Odissan speechless.If Thomas had killed him with one slash, thi
In the chairman’s office of Art Trading Corporation, Lord Vedastus stomped his feet angrily. “What the heck is the number one killer on the leaderboard? He’s trash! He nearly killed Thomas, but he decided to spare Thomas just like that. Damn it!”Lucia, his secretary said, “He still did considerable damage. Thomas is severely injured now, so we still have a chance.”Chance? What chance?Lord Vedastus angrily said, “Do you think the Twelve Golden Zodiacs beside Thomas are nobodies? What kind of people could we send out to kill Thomas? The Twelve Golden Zodiacs are guarding him, and Eric has also arranged for a lot of police officers to protect him. Do you still want to kill Thomas with things in such a state? Are you dreaming?”Lucia did not know what to do either.It was all Odissan’s fault. If he had extended his sword one inch more, he could have killed Thomas.But he did not fatally stab Thomas.When Lord Vedastus thought about it, he was consumed with rage.“Lord Vedastus
No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally
Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi
It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible
At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the
Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’
For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin
How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
“I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
