"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
Blood Demons and Thunder Gods were among the top forces in the world-class arena. They were huge and well-known far and wide. Willis and Lyle were also powerful figures who had made a name for themselves globally.When these two factions sent out all their forces, no one could afford to be careless or underestimate them."Those two, Willis and Lyle, do have some skills. Years ago, I tried to seize them and bring them to Oasis Vale, but they managed to slip away and vanish without a trace. I even went to the headquarters of Blood Demons and Thunder Gods but couldn't find them."It'll be perfect if they show up now. We can take them down, capture them, and throw them into Oasis Vale for some toughening up!"The champions' eyes lit up as they heard this. In their minds, they were already silently offering condolences for Willis and Lyle. "These two factions definitely need our attention, but there's no need to stress too much. We can call on our formidable troops if needed. That's i
Having a conversation about fighting with a skilled fighter like Ronan was actually beneficial for Gideon, given that he was a master of the sport. In truth, Ronan had not intended to harm the Jaeger royal family. His true motive was to confront Talia head-on. The Jaegers' top fighting technique, the Supreme Celestial Fist, was renowned as one of the most highly skilled and advanced techniques. He was caught off guard by Oscar's presence. Though, in a way, it aligned with his goals to have a fierce battle with him. His custom-made Doombringer Knuckle weapon had been designed for intense battles and could only truly be understood through fighting. As a top-tier expert, it was rare for Ronan to find an opponent who could truly challenge him in battle.Gideon's words had immediately captured Ronan's intense interest. "If you can make this fight entertaining for me, I may consider teaching you the Doombringer Knuckle," he said to Gideon. "What? Are you serious, Mr. Foley?" Gideon
Talia smiled and said, "Annalise is incredibly gifted. She's not going to meet her downfall so easily." "Got it. I'll be the decoy," Oscar replied. "Thanks." Talia nodded at Oscar to show her gratitude. That simple gesture made Oscar really happy. People would probably be blown away if they found out that the duke of the Chapman royal family could get so caught up in admiration and infatuation.…Meanwhile, as Ronan and Oscar went their separate ways, Gideon and Winter also got moving. Gideon wanted to meet Ronan because he was amazed by the latter's self-created Doombringer Knuckle. Compared to Oscar's Thundering Bruiser, his move was even more impressive. It was a seriously powerful fighting style. And Ronan mentioned it was still in its early stages and could improve for the better. Gideon didn't expect Ronan to teach him the Doombringer Knuckle, but he hoped they could chat about it. He figured it would help him a lot. "There he is!" The submarine—now a flying s
The battle between a god and a demon was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime epic clash.Even Winter's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the battlefield, afraid to miss a single thrilling moment."Attack!"Gideon clenched his fists. It was happening!Ronan's Doombringer Knuckle and Oscar's Thundering Bruiser were about to collide. Victory or defeat would hinge on this final move.In the distance, it looked as though the sky was being split in two.Their energies had reached an absolute peak. The radiance of their strikes lit up the sky, and energy surged uncontrollably. Snow-capped peaks crumbled one after another.With a boom, the two finally collided.In the next moment, both were blasted back, flying hundreds of yards apart.The aftershock of energy stirred up fierce winds, sweeping away countless layers of snow.Ronan and Oscar stood silently atop the snow-covered peaks, staring at each other from a distance without moving an inch. For a long moment, neither spoke.Th
Winter said, "Let's go. The Jaeger royal family runs deep. You may be powerful, but going into their territory alone is pretty unrealistic.""By the way," she continued, "do you have a grudge against the Jaegers?"Gideon nodded and then shook his head. "To be precise, I have a blood connection to them.""What?""My mother was a princess of the Jaeger royal family."Winter was stunned. She hadn't expected Gideon to have such a connection to the Jaegers."Let's go." He turned around. "I'll come back someday. When that day comes, I'll deal with the Jaeger royal family myself."Before he finished speaking, a thunderous explosion erupted in the distance.Gideon turned back.Far away, in the snowstorm and high above the sky, two figures clashed with each other, engaging in a fierce battle."They're so strong!" Winter was shocked.The terrifying impact of their clash could be felt even from such a distance. Those were unquestionably world-class experts.Gideon watched intently. He
"What's your plan?" Winter asked. "Should we look for Ajax and the others first?""No need." Gideon shook his head. "After so many days, I'm guessing they've already left. Besides, even though I can hold off the frenzy poison for half a month, who knows if it might suddenly act up? I can't risk going to the Jaeger royal family's territory right now."He was filled with regret.The Jaeger royal family was unfathomably powerful, and Oscar was there, too. With his unstable condition and the hidden dangers in his body, heading there rashly could lead to disaster.Moreover, he didn't have time to waste at the Jaeger royal family's grounds. Every moment counted in his search for a cure."Gideon, will you let me leave for a while? Don't worry. Once I've completed my mission, I'll definitely come back to find you. By then, whether you want to kill me or punish me, I'll accept it," Winter said."Are you going to finish your so-called mission?""Yes.""I think it's time for you to be hon
"Not good! A lot of sea beasts are tailing us!" Winter's face turned pale.Gideon asked, "Can't we speed up? Do we not have enough energy?""Our energy is limited. This is the maximum speed," she replied, her voice full of unease.If the situation continued to develop this way, the sea beasts would catch up and surround them in ten minutes."What are you doing?"Suddenly, Winter noticed Gideon holding a dagger and walking toward the hatch.Startled, she shouted, but he ignored her. He opened the hatch and slashed his wrist. Immediately, blood spurted out.What was strange was that his blood had traces of black in it, looking ominous.Winter covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing.Moments later, Gideon closed the hatch and tended to his wound.After releasing a third of his blood, his face was pale and devoid of color. He looked extremely weak. However, this was the only way to stop the sea beasts."Gideon, you…""This is your doing, you know?" Gid
Gideon opened the hatch. He had already sensed the location of the inner core because the overwhelming, pure life energy it emitted radiated an irresistible allure.However, he needed to exercise extreme caution.Inside the beast's stomach, the highly corrosive gastric acid could dissolve even steel in moments. This was precisely why the beast had tossed the submarine straight into its mouth."Get ready," Gideon reminded Winter. "When I tear through the flesh to extract the inner core, the king of sea beasts will definitely sense it and go berserk. You'll need to seize the opportunity to fire the energy cannon. Find a weak point and blast our way out.""Understood," Winter responded.She inspected the submarine. Although it was slightly damaged, the energy cannon was still operational."We only have one shot," she added. "Energy is running low. We still need enough power to escape the deep sea and ascend the abyss. We can't afford to burn it all here."Gideon nodded. He took a d
"It's not like that. I…""You what?" Gideon mocked. "What excuse could you possibly come up with? Isn't this the truth?"Winter was rendered speechless."Even if you had just told me in advance about the frenzy poison, I could've prepared for it. Let's say you didn't want to tell me because you were afraid I'd back out."You could've at least let me take an inner core with me or warned me not to leave the sea beast's inner core in the submarine."With the inner core, wouldn't I have had a better chance of surviving? And yet, what did you do? Nothing!"You wanted me dead, and you even planned to take the inner core for yourself. Tell me. Do you have any objections when I call you a venomous woman with a stone-cold heart?"Winter pressed her lips together, unable to respond.Gideon's tone turned icy. "For someone who wanted me dead, I'll just return the favor."Winter panicked. "Wait! Listen to me!""Oh? What could you possibly have to say? Do you think you can convince me to l
Winter was extremely anxious.The number of sea beasts was increasing, and the danger was growing ever direr. She had to make the most of what little time she had left to escape.Moreover, the submarine's energy supply wasn't infinite."One hour. The submarine can only last for one more hour. Once the power runs out, it'll be nothing but a heap of scrap metal." She gritted her teeth.To her credit, her piloting skills were exceptional. Despite the relentless pursuit and blockade by the sea beasts, she managed to escape through narrow gaps each time, every maneuver thrilling and perilous.Suddenly, more sea beasts arrived. The number now exceeded 20, and Winter's expression turned grim. Her palms were slick with cold sweat.Finally, at a certain moment, one sea beast's tail struck the submarine.She screamed.The submarine shook violently. Although its defenses were formidable, damage had been sustained, and many internal systems shut down.Then, another hit followed. The first
