"Kill him!"The two words represented the highest decree of the Chapman royal family. In an instant, they began to mobilize.Although furious, they still had to adhere to regulations and could not act openly. However, like the Jaegers, they had cultivated a significant amount of power outside their direct sphere of influence.At Dalhurst, Thunderbolt forces assembled.The rallying horn sounded, and countless warriors descended.The leader, Hector Price, declared, "By the royal family's decree, all martial artists at the grandmaster level and above head to Goldspire and deal with Dominic Zeller!"In Mulstead, the Mullong Dragons were on the move as well.Although the leader couldn't issue a command today, their warriors scattered across the country also made their way toward Goldspire.In Silverkeep, the Night Phantoms—a feared assassination organization—also took action.It was said that their leader, Percy McClain, once assassinated a foreign president and escaped unscathed.
"What?""Did that actually happen?"In an instant, the atmosphere was electrified, filled with killing intent.Daisy Green, the master of the world-class powerhouse Wyomming Palace, was currently the only woman in Oasis Vale. She was a peerless beauty, her stunning looks capable of toppling nations, making her the dream goddess of all men.The reason she was here wasn't because Gideon had brought her in. She had followed him herself.She was infatuated with Gideon and had been relentlessly pursuing him. She had followed him to Oasis Vale and settled there.But recently, Daisy was preparing to leave Oasis Vale. After all, Gideon was no longer there, and staying with a group of rough men didn't interest her in the least."Hercule, didn't you promise not to mention this? I even secretly helped you with heavy chores for half a month!" Donald panicked."Hit him!"Everyone swarmed him.It wasn't until Donald passed out that they stopped. Only then did Ian speak up. "I just received
Douglas' face was filled with arrogance.This time, the eight major forces assembled ten thousand masters, along with no fewer than 380 transcendents.With such a lineup to deal with one Dominic, to be honest, he thought it was overkill. It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."My lord, your call?"The leaders of the eight major forces stood in neat formation behind Douglas. All of them were peak transcendents, providing him with the utmost sense of security.Douglas said, "Call him out!""I've never even seen Dominic before. If we're going to kill him outright, I might as well meet him first, don't you think?" Hector immediately stepped forward. He possessed a unique technique, the Lion's Roar. His voice rolled like thunder as he spoke, creating sound waves that shook the air."Dominic, get out here!"As soon as the words fell, all the men on the coastline shouted in unison, "Get out here!"The intense energy caused waves to surge skyward in the inner sea. Even Beake
Percy could no longer hold on.A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth. Mixed within the blood were clots. It was pieces of his organs. His organs were starting to rupture.The suppression of three world-class champions was too overwhelming. An ordinary peak transcendent would have exploded into pieces long ago.For Percy, enduring this long was proof of his exceptional status among peak transcendents."Spare… Spare me…"A cold snort echoed.At that moment, Percy's eyes bulged, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His mouth gaped wide open, and blood sprayed out in torrents, all filled with clots.With a thud, he collapsed into a pool of blood, lifeless."Weakling." Ajax curled his lip, unimpressed.Hercule picked up Percy's corpse, carried it to the beach, and flung it with all his strength. The body flew over 800 yards, landing on the opposite shore."Impressive!" Ajax couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.This was as expected of Hercule.On the opposite sho
Ruby let out a scream from inside the helicopter.The gathered elites and nobles, who had never witnessed such a heart-stopping scene, also gasped in shock.The giant blade in the sky seemed to slice through the night, leaving a streak across the dark horizon. It surged forward with unstoppable momentum.Douglas' lips curled into a smirk.Anyone who dared oppose the royal family would be annihilated. There was no other outcome.Just then, a dazzling golden light shot up from Beaker Island. The light was brilliant, far more radiant than the giant blade.The world seemed to tremble, and everyone watched as the golden light transformed into an enormous palm spanning over a thousand feet. It was like…The hand of God!The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, including Hector and the other powerful figures of the seven allied forces."What?" The eyes of the leaders widened. In their line of sight, the massive hand reached out, grabbed the massive blade, and held it firmly. The
A soft swish could be heard in the courtyard of the palace as Gideon lounged on a chair, slowly swirling his glass of red wine.With a flick of his finger toward the sky, a burst of energy exploded into the night sky, taking on the form of a large golden character. It read, "Approved!""Thank you, sir!" The champions turned around.Without hesitation, they commanded in unison, "All masters and grandmasters, present yourselves at once!"A loud rumble echoed through the area as the ground shook, and the sky trembled.Masters from all directions emerged, forming an army of 180,000 strong under the champions. It was a sight beyond imagination. They completely surrounded the area.Despite their efforts to contain their energy, their overwhelming presence could not be hidden. The immense force weighed down on the 10,000 powerful warriors from the eight major factions, causing them to tremble with fear and lose control of their mental state."T-This…"Hector and the others stood in sh
At the Cabinet, many Elders sat quietly, not saying a word. They had just gotten the news. The numbers of gathered masters and transcendents hit them like a thunderbolt, leaving them stunned.It was shocking, and they couldn't help but start thinking. Could all of Dasovia even gather that many masters and transcendents? Maybe. If you added up everyone from all the factions, Great Families, and officially trained powerhouses, it might be possible.But the kicker was that Gideon managed to mobilize 180,000 masters and 30,000 transcendents in just one day. That was what really made this situation so unbelievable.Could the Dasovia authorities even unite all the factions and clans in just one day? No way.After a long pause, Mose sighed and said, "Gideon is probably unmatched when it comes to strength. This time, he didn't even pull out all his stops. If he really tried, the numbers would be way more than that!"The Elders started murmuring among themselves.Casse chimed in, "The onl
"Damn it!" James slammed his fist on the table. "These jerks!""Mr. James, has His Grace given any instructions?""His Grace is in Kitherglen visiting the Jaeger royal family. He should have heard about this by now, but we haven't gotten any word yet. We need to handle this before he gets back."James looked dark and furious. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said in a chilly tone, "Sure, 180,000 masters and 30,000 transcendents are formidable, but they're still just humans! "Humans won't stand a chance against our tech weapons! I've decided to use our advanced weapons and send in the royal army to take them out.""And…" James paused for a moment, then added, "Just to be safe, let's reach out to those world-class champions for backup. After all, they owe us a few favors from back when we helped them out. Anyone have any objections?"Everyone exchanged glances, shook their heads, and didn't raise any objections. Even if they had doubts, the current situation left them no
The High Marshal title worked like a charm.The mayor of this city, Bailey Pearce, personally welcomed Gideon and his group into his residence with great enthusiasm and utmost respect.After all, news of Gideon storming Cook Manor and carrying the Imperial Token had already spread through every level of government across the Nine Provinces. Who would dare provoke the High Marshal?"Marshal Snow, what brings you to the Wasteland? Are you here to scout for resource troves? If so, I'd be happy to guide you myself.""There's no need for that. I'm here for information on Nethercult."Bailey was visibly startled. "Marshal Snow, Nethercult is one of the three major powers in the northern region. They're no joke."Gideon gave a cold snort. "I'm here to kill their cult leader. If Nethercult's disciples know what's good for them, they'll be put to work mining resources. If they don't, then I'll wipe them all out."Bailey broke out in a cold sweat.So, the rumors were true. Gideon was like
Attwell was already a Supreme.And judging by his energy, he wasn't just any Supreme, but a peak Supreme. He was probably even stronger than Pope of Light and Yohan. No one expected Attwell to have reached this level.Edric and Jandial immediately backed off."Attwell, we meant nothing by it. Don't act on impulse. Alfsee's our grandnephew. We will never hurt him.""Yeah, Attwell. I was out of line earlier. That's on me."Attwell gave a cold snort and reined in his energy. Only then did the two finally breathe easy."It's really not that big a deal." Attwell shook his head and said calmly, "I know the location of several S-class dragon veins in Dasovia. There's one right here in the Wasteland. If I wanted to, I could subdue it. With the power of an S-class dragon vein, I could go head-to-head with him."But what's the point? Fame, fortune, power—none of it means anything to me. Life is short. I might as well live it relaxed and comfortably."Edric and Jandial were deeply shaken.
"Forget everything else. When it comes to familial ties, I'm your uncle. No matter how you look at it, you should come out and see me," Jandial exclaimed.That seemed to work. Inside the bamboo house, a presence stirred.Moments later, a handsome middle-aged man stepped out, dressed in rough linen clothes, long hair loosely draped over his back, yet still carrying an unmistakable noble air."Attwell…""Things have changed. I'm no longer a prince. I'm just Attwell."Edric and Jandial exchanged glances, then said, "Attwell, don't get the wrong idea. We're not using Alfsee to threaten you."Attwell smiled. "I've let go of all that. Alfsee might be my son, but he holds no sway over me. He has his own path—whether he lives or dies has got little to do with me."That caught Edric and Jandial off guard.Watching Attwell watering the flowers, they realized they couldn't read him anymore. Atwell really might have let go of everything and returned to simplicity."Attwell, this is a rare
A visit to the Nethercult in the northern Wasteland—perfect. It was basically a free pass to wipe out Nethercult.Gideon's killing intent surged.Jessica said, "Marshal Snow, should I talk to my father and arrange for a troop to assist you?""There's no need for that. If I wanted, I could contact Samson and have the Dragon's Aegis flatten Nethercult. But that would put Elara's life at risk. I'll pay the Nethercult a visit myself. I want to see what kind of stunt Tristan is trying to pull.""Marshal Snow, it's too dangerous. Tristan definitely has something planned. He wouldn't be bold enough to let you walk into Nethercult otherwise.""It's fine." Gideon wasn't afraid.He already had the confidence to take on a supreme. Even if Tristan had brought backup, it didn't matter."Gideon." At that moment, Ronan and Noel arrived."Mr. Foley, I didn't expect to see you here."Ronan laughed. "I was actually there the day you were appointed. Back then I was trying to guess who the new Hig
"Supreme core, huh?" Gideon muttered, the corner of his mouth lifting. "Interesting. I'm intrigued.""Die!" Tristan screamed hysterically.Gideon rapidly retreated—not out of fear, but to create distance, preparing a devastating killer move.Suddenly, a violent wind howled, spreading intense heat. The temperature in the area shot up.At that moment, firelight flickered in both of Gideon's hands. The left one glowed bright red—it was the Earthcore Flame. The flame on the right shimmered eerie green—it was the netherflame.Then, he brought both hands together.The two heavenly flames began to fuse, though they resisted each other, violently clashing under the pressure. The moment the seal was lifted, the explosion would be unimaginable.But that wasn't enough.Gideon opened his mouth and breathed out streams of core power, merging into the flames. The nation's destiny surged into it as well.The buildup of energy already roared in the void.The seawater beneath Gideon's feet spl
"Proceed!" The word rippled through the skies.From Imperial Palace, it shot out, passed through the High Marshal Seal, and transmitted over Tyrant Sea—stirring it to a boil, shaking the whole place.A dragon's cry echoed through the void from the seal.Next, a mysterious force poured out from the seal, flooding into Gideon's body, lifting him as if to the summit in one step. A commanding, Supreme energy surged from within."This is bad!" Tristan's expression changed.At this moment, Chase had approved Gideon's request. Empowered, Gideon's strength skyrocketed as though he had instantly leapt to the supreme level."Damn it!" Tristan clenched his teeth.He didn't want to back down, but he had no choice. He had to avoid a head-on clash."Are you trying to run away?" Gideon sneered.Now, he was invincible. Tristan was just a weakling—a bug. There was nothing more to him."Tyrant Sea, rise." Gideon raised both arms. The seawater grew wild and furious, surging hundreds of yards int
The broken blade condensed the force of the blade itself."The great Marshal Snow is using a broken blade? How pathetic! My ghost blade was forged over three years, infused with countless rare materials. It's indestructible," Tristan boasted, laughing."If the man's weak, the weapon doesn't matter."Gideon's casual jab left Tristan speechless, his face flushed with shame."A smart aleck, I see. Die!"Just like that, a black blade arc came down.Gideon stayed calm, swung the broken blade, and a white arc of energy shot upward.The black and white blades clashed and shattered on impact.Tristan's next move followed immediately. "The eighth style of the 13 Ghost Blades! Nether's Pass!"The strike carried a chilling gale. The sound of wailing ghosts and howling spirits echoed.As it neared, Gideon noticed countless skulls swirling in the wind. They were only shadows, but enough to make one's scalp crawl. They were clawing and snarling, like demons escaping from hell."Those are p
"Bitch!" The three men were furious and humiliated.As Nethercult guardians, being injured by a woman was unthinkable!"Nethervoid Hands."They moved together, and an intimidating hand seal came crashing down.Noel was just about to step in when suddenly, Elara stepped forward, facing the incoming attack head-on without a trace of fear. Pure essence energy erupted from her, causing the surface of the sea to freeze."Ice Soul Palm." A cold gleam flashed in Elara's eyes as she slammed her palm forward, clashing with the hand seal in a massive explosion.The three guardians were sent flying.Elara also coughed up blood and was knocked back into the floating palace."Elara!" Jessica panicked and rushed in, helping Elara up."I'm fine." Elara then wiped the blood from her lips and closed the palace gates.Her physique was strong, but her cultivation level wasn't high enough. If it got serious, she couldn't match the three guardians.Still, that brief clash had been her first rea
Gideon and Tristan clashed fists and were blown backward.Gideon's whole body went numb. He thought to himself, "Anyone who's remotely close to the word 'supreme' is no joke."Tristan, meanwhile, was shaken to his core. The moment their fists met, a massive force surged through his arm.If he hadn't reacted in time to deflect the impact, his body would've taken serious damage. Even so, his right arm was almost completely numb now.His long sleeves covered it so no one could see the trembling."No wonder it's called the Solar Titan Physique. It's one of the top-tier physiques. Now I see why.""That was nothing. Watch out, Mr. Neblanc. I'm about to turn it up." Gideon laughed loudly, battle intent soaring.He launched a full-on attack.It was not a secret technique. Instead, it was just pure close-quarters combat.That put Tristan in a tough spot. Just one exchange had already left him at a disadvantage. If they kept going toe-to-toe, there was a real risk he would get injured an
