At Janover's Department of Defense.In a heavily guarded office, a dozen elderly men with gray hair and dressed in military uniforms were seated. Each bore stars on their shoulders. They were an assembly of generals.A stern-faced elder with a square jaw and an air of authority wore a military green uniform adorned with five gold stars. His mere presence commanded respect.He stood in front of a massive screen, with his hands clasped behind his back and expression grave as he watched a constantly flashing red dot on the electronic display."Celestial?" The elder's face darkened as he stared at the flashing dot on the screen. "Send a team to investigate what's happening.""Yes, sir." A soldier promptly left the conference room.Meanwhile, at the Ballard family estate in Janover, the entire manor was perched atop a mountain and exuded magnificence.The manor gave off a majestic and awe-inspiring atmosphere, with the entire mountain belonging to the Ballard family in Janover. A
It was terrifying indeed. Zephyr was a Supreme Grandmaster, yet Sebastian killed one with just a finger."He's crazy!" Stephen screamed in terror.The remaining four Supreme Grandmasters were also horrified, their scalps tingling as they frantically tried to escape in different directions. They needed to survive. All they could think of now was survival. Facing off against a Celestial was a complete dead end.However, before these four Supreme Grandmasters could flee, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before them!Following that, strands of golden ribbons encircled the entire hotel building."It's the Celestial Light Formation!""Celestial Light Formation!"The four Supreme Grandmasters were filled with horror at the sight of these light ribbons. If one were to look down from high above, one would see the entire hotel building wrapped in a golden light array.Strands of light ribbons, adorned with cryptic runes and patterns, encircled and enveloped the entire struct
Stephen was terrified. He sat on the ground, trying to crawl backward as his voice trembled with fear. "Sebastian, what are you doing? I'm the son of the Beckard family! If you dare touch me, my family won't let you get away with it!""Is that so? I'd like to see how your family plans to handle me," Sebastian replied coldly while stepping forward.As Stephen watched in fear, Sebastian lifted his foot and stomped down on his knee.The sound of bones shattering echoed through the hotel lobby."Ahh, my leg, my leg!" Stephen screamed in agony. His right leg was now a bloody mess, with shards of bone protruding through the skin."Bastard! Sebastian, I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!" Stephen shouted.His threats were met with Sebastian's foot moving to his other leg."No, no… Ah!"Stephen watched in horror as Sebastian stomped on his left leg. Another sickening crack followed, shattering the bone.Blood pooled around him.Stephen was utterly terrified now. His eyes filled with
Then, these guests all looked toward the head table in unison. Seated at the head table was Stephen's father, Kendrick Beckard. His brow furrowed deeply as he asked in a solemn tone, "What happened?"A steward handed his phone to Kendrick with trembling hands. Frowning, he looked at the video on the phone, his eyes suddenly bloodshot with fury as he roared, "Stephen? Where is this? Where?!" Kendrick demanded loudly, shaking the entire Beckard Manor.The steward stammered, "The Galaxy Hotel…""Damn it! Who dared to do this to my son?" Kendrick bellowed furiously. "I will tear him to pieces!""Bring him here! Gather the 3000 Beckard family desperadoes, and follow me to the Galaxy Hotel!"Footsteps echoed loudly. Soon, all 3000 Beckard family desperadoes were assembled in the estate, dressed in white outfits with face masks and armed with long knives.The air was filled with a solemn and murderous intent.Kendrick strode out of the hall, his face dark with anger. He looked at
Sebastian looked at the infuriated Kendrick and said, "Yes.""You're asking for death!" Kendrick roared.As long as anyone dared to harm his son, that person would have to pay the price no matter what."Kill him!" Kendrick commanded.Instantly, hundreds of desperadoes dressed in white, brandishing long knives moved to attack Sebastian. However, Sebastian remained calm and composed. With a serene expression, he asked, "May I make a phone call?"Kendrick's eyes narrowed at Sebastian's request. He raised his hand, signaling the approaching desperadoes to halt. Then, he fixed a cold gaze on Sebastian and said, "What, you want to call someone?""Something like that," Sebastian replied casually.Kendrick burst into laughter, filled with disdain and mockery. He sneered. "Fine, I'll give you a chance! Make your call! Tonight, I want to see who you can call upon to save you!"If the ones you call have weak backing, shallow backgrounds, or insufficient power, not only will you die, b
After that, the members of the patrol division jumped out of the armored car and swiftly formed several rows. They were waiting for the last car to stop.The onlookers were shocked at the scene!"Oh my! What's the patrol division doing here?""They have the authority to act first and report later!""They weren't called here by that young man, were they? Would he be able to deploy them?"The crowd of onlookers were shocked. Even Kendrick's expression darkened and his brow furrowed. He was amazed. The patrol division? What were they doing here?Just as Kendrick looked on in confusion, the door of the last car opened. Chester Zinn got out of the car.When he saw Chester, Kendrick's expression changed drastically!Chester? He was one of the top three commanders of the patrol division. He had actually come personally!Kendrick's brow was tightly knitted. He turned back suddenly and looked at Sebastian, who was sitting impassively in his chair.Had he called Chester over?Cheste
Chester thought for a moment and replied, "After your mother escaped from the Ballards, she once went to Steinberg and met someone there. She left a few things behind.""In Steinberg? Who did she meet?" Sebastian asked.It was probably the only person who had seen his mother.Chester's brow furrowed, and he said, "I haven't managed to find out. I only know that he has a nickname called, 'the Imp.'""The Imp?" Sebastian's expression darkened, and he frowned. Chester tried to placate him. "Things in Janover are complicated. The incident with your mother didn't just involve the Ballards. There were many other people, too. They're all hiding in the darkness right now."Your return has already drawn a lot of attention. Don't keep a high profile. I'm worried that they'll choose to attack you."Sebastian smiled, but his expression turned cold. He said, "We'll wait and see, then! I'd like to see who they are! They forced my mother to escape the Ballards and are the reason why I lost he
The Slaughter Gods. They were one of the top three warrior associations in Dramon's underworld.They were like the International Assassins. All their members were highly skilled and ruthless warriors.Since the establishment of the Slaughter Gods, they had maintained a high mission success rate of more than 80 percent!They very rarely failed.Once Ashton had left, Kendrick stood at the door to the manor's main hall and looked out at the pale crescent moon. He said coldly, "Sebastian! No matter who you are, no matter how skilled you are, how can you survive when facing the Slaughter Gods?"…In a mountain range deep in Dramon, there was a dense jungle. In the jungle, there was a cluster of buildings that looked like an army base.A four-wheel drive stopped at the steel gates of the base.Ashton jumped out of the car.After he got out of the car, he made a call as planned. "I'm here."Very soon, two ape-like figures swung swiftly through the jungle like phantoms. They sudden
Whitney stared at herself in the mirror in shock. It was only then that she realized that what had happened to Madeline was now happening to her own face.At that moment, the door opened. Sebastian and Blake walked inside one after the other."Mr. Ballard.""Sebastian." Whitney hastily put down the mirror and pulled Sebastian's hand as she hurried over to the bed. She pointed to the thread of blood on Madeline's face. It was still wriggling, and she said, "Ms. Eddings—""What happened to your face?" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian noticed the unusual thing on her face."N-Nothing. I'm fine. You should think of a way to wake Ms. Eddings first." Whitney turned away quickly and covered the scarlet mark on her face with her hand."Move your hand." Sebastian took her hand, looking somber. He moved it slowly away from the crimson mark on her face, and he saw that the red mark had expanded from the size of a seed to the size of a bean.Sebastian drew in a sharp intake of breath.
Sebastian hesitated and flung Anthony aside. He strode over to the table and answered the phone. "What is it?""Sebastian! Where are you? Hurry and come to the hospital! Something's happened to Madeline!" Whitney said loudly in an urgent voice."What's wrong with Madeline?" Sebastian frowned. Although Tessa had slapped Madeline hard twice, she hadn't been trying to kill Madeline. If it was just a superficial wound, she shouldn't have been in any danger."I… I can't explain it, but there… there seems to be something on her face. Even Dr. Queen can't figure out what's causing her symptoms," Whitney said. She began sobbing quietly as she spoke.Oh? Sebastian raised an eyebrow, and a feeling of unease rose up in him at once. "Alright, I'll be right there." Sebastian turned and pointed at Anthony. He said to Lyanna and Nina, "Watch him. I'll be back soon.""Yes, my lord!" the two replied simultaneously. "Sebastian, why don't you take my car?" Blake ran after Sebastian when he saw
Maximus stared jealously at Tripp, who was kneeling on a very flat spot. There were even bricks under his knees. It was very comfortable.Maximus was kneeling on a patch of sand and stones. In just a few minutes, his knees had begun bleeding. If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen a better place to kneel. "Get lost!" Sebastian yelled at the hundreds of influential figures at his door.They all jolted in fear and immediately ran back to their cars. They instructed their drivers to leave as fast as they could.Hundreds of luxurious cars sped off, as if they were running for their lives. "Sebastian, it'll be hard for you not to be famous after today," Vince said, sighing softly as he looked at the people kneeling at the entrance.Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "Would they dare to say anything about what happened today?"Vince paused for a moment and shook his head.Sebastian was right. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to spread the news.
"Gabe, how dare you kill Warrior League members?" Blake looked up and stared coldly at him. "Hmph! Blake, don't try to accuse me falsely. If you hadn't backed me into a corner, why would I have opposed you?" Gabe gritted his teeth as he stared fixedly at Blake. "No matter what you say, you killed Warrior League apprentices! I hope you don't regret it, Mr. Crawley!" Blake smiled slightly. Gabe had killed two Warrior League apprentices with two slaps. Even if he ran away from Steinberg, he wouldn't be able to escape the wrath of the Warrior League. At this point, Gabe had no choice but to take a gamble. He pointed at Sebastian and Blake and said, "Stop wasting time with talking. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. Ballard, come over here!" Sebastian sneered and said, "Gabe, you really like doing things the hard way, don't you?" Sebastian suddenly moved. Gabe felt his eyes blur, and Sebastian rushed toward him like a phantom. That was when Gabe realized that he seemed t
The influential figures behind them were all stirred up by Jayden. Gabe felt as if his heart was about to break. He wasn't taking pity on Sebastian at all! He was genuinely very afraid."Mr. Crawley, if you don't attack soon, I will." Sebastian slowly pulled out his sword."Wait!" Gabe pointed at the sword in Sebastian's hand and said, "When… When you attacked Anthony just now, you weren't aiming to kill him."Although Sebastian had crossed swords with Anthony, he hadn't used his sword for the final move at all. He had just struck Anthony's lower abdomen with the palm of his hand."I still have use for him, but you are of no use at all. People who like bragging despite having no talents are the kind of people I dislike the most. Today, only one of us will stay alive." Sebastian grinned as he walked toward Gabe."Ballard! Don't cross the line!" Gabe's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke through gritted teeth.At this point, he didn't even have the courage to try and escape.No matt
Out of the corner of his eye, Gabe saw several police cars rushing in his direction. He felt as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. At the speed that the police cars were going, they would reach them in less than a minute. Gabe smiled triumphantly at the thought, and his nervousness immediately disappeared."Sebastian, I have always been kind. Since I know it must not have been easy for you to learn those skills, I don't want to hurt you. However, if you keep provoking us, I won't just let it go!" Gabe took a step forward just for the look of it, although he was still carefully keeping a distance from Sebastian. Even though the police would get there in less than a minute, Sebastian had only used two seconds to disable Anthony. Gabe had to use the time and the distance he had very well! He had to make sure that he came off looking good while also staying out of harm's way. "Oh? Are you kind? Mr. Crawley, you surprise me," Sebastian said, smiling. He had also
Sebastian had shown mercy to Anthony because he could still be useful, but he wouldn't show any mercy to Gabe. If Sebastian didn't show people that provoking him would end in death, they would be sure to keep trying to lord it over him. "Alright! Let me teach you a lesson today!" Gabe said. However, he was rooted to the spot. He dared not take a single step forward.He estimated that there were about 60 feet or so between himself and Sebastian. Sebastian had moved over 40 feet instantly just now with the use of his divine powers, and he had crippled Anthony with just one move. Therefore, Gabe was probably at a relatively safe distance from Sebastian. "Mr. Crawley, take him down a peg!" Jayden shouted."Yes, Mr. Crawley!" another chimed in. "You're the leader of the sect. Why are you afraid of him?"A third added, "Mr. Crawley, we support you! Kill him!" Although Anthony had been beaten so hard that he was lying on the ground, so what? There was another sect leader here,
The Divine Art was legendary!Even Anthony's mentor would have had to fall to his knees and beg for mercy if he had been here. Experts who had reached that level had an understanding of martial arts that people like Anthony couldn't even begin to imagine.Time and space were what made up the world, and to have divine powers was to stand at the center of time and space and be able to instantly change one's direction.Anthony couldn't do it, and neither could Gabe.Gabe was more shocked than Anthony.How old was Sebastian? He was only in his 20s!A red light arced gracefully through the air, and Anthony fell heavily onto the ground several feet away.As soon as he hit the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood.Anthony could no longer even stand, let alone hold his blade. His lower abdomen was caved in, and blood was dripping out of his lower body continuously.Sebastian had removed all his martial arts training, and he was now just an ordinary person. In fact, he was even
Anthony spat out yet another mouthful of blood, but a cold smile appeared on his face. He didn't even need to look to know that Sebastian must already be decapitated. It would be unimaginable for Sebastian to escape such an intense blow."Mr. Ballard…" Zane looked nervously at the cloud of smoke. It was where Sebastian had been a moment ago.However, both Nina and Rose couldn't help laughing. Sebastian wouldn't be killed so easily by Anthony. Nina and Sebastian were connected with a life-and-death connection. If Sebastian died, so would Nina. If Sebastian had really not been a match for Anthony, she would have stepped forward to do something.Although Anthony and Gabe looked formidable, Nina could crush them both easily with just a simple slap, and even she was no match for Sebastian. Even if there were ten Anthonys working together, they still would not be able to kill Sebastian!Anthony smiled slightly. So what if Sebastian was a rare talent? He was too young, and he didn't k
