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
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
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
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
The intense battle seemed to drag on indefinitely. Their physical abilities were beyond human. Gideon and Ronan broke apart from each other. Ronan's body shook with power as he prepared to use the Doombringer Knuckle. Gideon refused to be outdone, and his demeanor shifted, shedding some of his usual depth for a sharper focus.In Winter's eyes, Gideon was akin to a massive and weighty greatsword. He exuded a presence of unconquerable power, as if nothing could stand in his way. Ronan's face took on a serious demeanor, yet Gideon's was filled with unbridled enthusiasm. It had been a long time since he had truly exerted himself, and he felt exhilarated by the prospect. It was a rush unlike any other, and he couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of unleashing all of his strength once again.With a fierce determination, Ronan thrust out his fist and bellowed, "Doombringer Knuckle!" At the same time, Gideon also extended his fist, his voice echoing like thunder as he excl
"Don't worry, Mr. Foley. I will surely live up to your expectations," Gideon declared."Good!" Ronan was very pleased.That night, neither Ronan nor Gideon could sleep. Ronan took the time to show Gideon how to use the Doombringer Knuckle in the midst of the relentless wind and snow. Meanwhile, Gideon couldn't afford to let his guard down for even a second and was completely absorbed in learning.… The next morning, as the first sunray shone down on them, Gideon opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of stale air. The techniques and hidden meanings behind the Doombringer Knuckle, along with memories of Ronan's instruction from the previous night, flooded back into his mind.He began to replicate and execute the moves with precision. The sounds of his punches echoed through the air, growing more intense with each strike."Good boy!" Ronan's eyes widened in surprise. Gideon had only learned the basics, and it had only been one night. Yet, he already seemed to have a grasp on the
The majority of the army, led by Justin and other champions, relied on weapons and equipment purchased from Aetheric Guild. Damon had a particular affinity for this submarine. If he could closely examine it and recreate similar models, it would be an incredible feat. As soon as they left Kitherglen, the communication service was back up and running. Gideon wasted no time in getting in touch with Lysander to inquire about recent events. To his astonishment, not only was Lavinia unharmed and safe at the border, but she also single-handedly defeated a massive army of one million and received the prestigious title of a five-star war hero. Her popularity reached its peak, and the entire nation rallied behind her. Gideon couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought, "Life is full of ironies, huh?"It seemed that Lavinia had managed to pull off a miraculous feat. It was highly unlikely for anyone to successfully wipe out one million of Tylland's soldiers. Such a victory was unheard
"But what?" Gideon implored."Sir, we've discovered a cave dwelling. Based on initial observations, it appears to be an ancient ruin, and there may be more structures like it waiting to be unearthed," Ares explained. "Is that so?" Gideon became interested. Ares took the lead, and the trio, including Gideon, reached their destination. "Sir, take a look." Following Ares' instructions, they all saw it. A lone cavern nestled in the large pit, resembling an aged man who has endured countless struggles, finding peace in quiet solitude. "Cut the flattery." Gideon walked up to the entrance of the cave dwelling. Ronan marveled, "This stone door is made of an exceptional material. It's doubtful even a bomb blast could shatter it open." Winter questioned, "So, we have to rely on brute strength to force the door open? Or is there a hidden mechanism?" Ares shook his head and replied, "No, there's no mechanism. We've had multiple teams scour every inch of it for days, but to no av
Gideon made a move as he spoke, and a few energy cannons were shattered.Orabella exclaimed, "You know about energy cannons and even particle cannons? Have you heard of the Spirale Clan?""Who do you think you're looking down on? Why wouldn't I know?""What's your connection to the Spirale Clan?""Oh? Are you that interested? If so, we can stop right here and find a place to talk." Gideon smirked.He had his own plans. Draven didn't know the exact location of the Spirale Clan. He only had a few clues. So, searching blindly in the Asgard Plains would be too difficult.However, The Light Council was different. The most powerful and mysterious force in the world might actually know where the Spirale Clan was.Orabella held a high position in The Light Council, so she might know something.This was crucial for Gideon.Orabella, after a brief moment of thought, stopped in her tracks. There was no escaping. Even if she managed to get away, she would end up in a miserable state.Tha
"Run!" Orabella shouted in alarm.Gideon had vanished, but she didn't believe he had been blown to ashes. He must have escaped.Sure enough, scorching flames burst underground, transforming into two thin chains, shooting toward Orabella and Leomer. They looked small, but the pressure they exuded was immense. Even their armors felt like they were about to melt.These flames were from the Earthcore Flame. It wasn't just any Earthcore Flame. It was the purest essence of fire, its temperature unimaginably terrifying.Without the Solar Titan Physique, there was no way to resist it. Even touching or getting too close would severely wound the body."Attack!" Leomer roared fiercely.Unlike Orabella, he didn't retreat. Instead, he faced the Earthcore Flame head-on. His greatsword slashed out, releasing waves of sword energy. The attacks intertwined, forming a vast web, attempting to shred the Earthcore Flame to nothing.Gideon sneered.Leomer had grossly underestimated the Earthcore Fla
During this time, Umbra was more than capable of seizing the advantage with a fierce counterattack.All things considered, Orabella and Umbra were evenly matched. If they fought, it would be a fifty-fifty struggle."Who exactly are you?" Orabella was furious. She looked disheveled. It was something she had never experienced before. "Are you truly willing to become a mortal enemy of The Light Council? That is not a wise decision."Gideon grinned. "This isn't about me and The Light Council anymore. It's about me and you. I must subdue a genius like you and keep you by my side.""You!" Orabella's face burned with shame and fury.She was a divine maiden, the high and mighty Legion Commander of the Regnandi Legion. In all her years, she had never been subjected to such humiliation and offense. "You will pay for your words and actions!"Gideon laughed. "You still say such naive things at a time like this? How laughable!"The Solar Titan Physique within Gideon erupted, its energy pour
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, it won't be as weak and useless as that so-called Decree of Decay!" Gideon remarked.He stood tall within the prison of light, making no moves, simply waiting for the next decree.This was his first clash with a powerhouse from The Light Council. He was eager to see their true abilities.After all, The Light Council was one of the most powerful and mysterious factions in the world. This was exactly the kind of intense battle Gideon craved. Only through such encounters could he push his limits and force himself to grow."You won't be disappointed." Orabella spread her arms wide, chanting once more, as she issued another decree, "Mind Shatter!"In an instant, Gideon's mind reeled as if struck by lightning. A splitting headache tore through his skull. His vision darkened, and his thoughts grew hazy.It didn't stop there."Attack!" The three Cardinals seized the opportunity to launch a relentless, coordinated assault.Gideon snorte
"You have a good physique, but it's still far from enough." Gideon sighed.In an instant, a chill ran down Vicar's spine. The next second, his fist shattered completely.Vicar let out a miserable scream, echoing through the canyon, making everyone's skin crawl.Gideon still hadn't let go.Vicar's expression turned ruthless. He knew if he didn't make a decisive move now, the consequences would be disastrous. He decided to sever his own arm and retreated at full speed."Generalissimo Tancred!" The two dukes rushed forward.At this moment, Vicar scowled. It was not just from the pain but from the overwhelming humiliation. The mighty Vicar had been forced to cut off his own arm, and in front of The Light Council, no less. What a joke!Suddenly, Orabella spoke up, "You're strong."She stepped forward. A faint halo of light surrounded her, making her seem divine and untouchable."But it is unwise to stand against The Light Council.""My apologies, but it was The Light Council who c
Nothing but ants? Vicar and the others froze.They had just been called nothing but ants. It was unbelievable. This was the first time in their lives they had ever heard such an insult. Their fury, especially the Cardinals', erupted like wildfire."How arrogant!""Do you think you're invincible just because you ambushed Leomer?"Gideon had defeated Leomer head-on, yet to them, it was nothing more than a sneak attack.However, Gideon couldn't be bothered to argue. He stepped forward. A divine, overwhelming energy radiated from him, and the surrounding temperature skyrocketed under the sheer heat of his presence."The Light Council? Heh! That's all you amount to. I heard you're backing Tylland, stirring up troubles at Dasovia's borders. You've got some nerve!"At the end of the day, Gideon was still a Dasovian. In foreign lands, protecting his homeland's dignity was not just his duty. It was his responsibility."Who are you?""Gideon Snow."Just two words from him felt thundero
Across The Light Council, aside from the Pope, no one else at his age had mastered the seventh level of the Divine Light Blade. This included the ten Legion Commanders. Even the extraordinarily gifted Orabella hadn't reached this level.Yet, Leomer had succeeded!"The seventh level…" Orabella's gaze flickered as she murmured, "Leomer truly is formidable.""With this skill alone, when Leomer steps down as Legion Commander, he will have a chance to become an Envoy of Light."The Envoy of Light was a special title and position. The Pope personally nominated the candidates, who were then elected through a vote.This role was not bound by The Light Council's regulations. Envoys of Light answered directly to the Pope, who had full authority over them.Though they held no official power within The Light Council, their status was unquestionably high as the Pope's most trusted aides. Some had even gone on to inherit the title of the Pope. Throughout The Light Council's history, many Envoy
The Guardian Legion of The Light Council held immense significance. It was one of the most crucial legions. Its duty was to safeguard The Light Council.However, for Leomer Peele, there was one person he vowed to protect above all else. That person was Orabella.Now that he had her approval, Leomer had no reservations. Gripping his massive sword, he strode onto the battlefield."Divine Light Blade." Leomer's long hair stood on end as his greatsword radiated brilliance.All he did was a simple vertical slash with no elaborate technique. Yet, with this single downward strike, it was as if the world had split apart. A sword energy wave spanning 880 yards materialized out of thin air.In an instant, the combined energy of the champions was severed."Dragon Severance!" Leomer swung his sword again.It was still a simple sword movement, but this time, it was a horizontal slash. The massive energy dragon formed by the champions, already split open, was now completely severed. It collap
At this moment, deep within the Great Rift of Death, in a territory filled with a sinister presence, a group of men and women were trapped. Their bodies bore various degrees of severe injuries."They're attacking again!" Ian gritted his teeth.Seeing another terrifying energy blast descending upon them, the champions once again joined forces to shatter it. However, they were truly reaching their limit.They fled there upon being pursued by Tylland's army and The Light Council's elite forces, only to be found and trapped again.The Light Council had somehow acquired a batch of high-tech weaponry that was capable of firing powerful energy beams, leaving the champions in utter misery.Outside their encampment, a group of figures radiating overwhelming power loomed atop a small hill.There were three Cardinals of The Light Council, two Legion Commanders, Tylland's supreme commander, and two royal dukes of Tylland. It was a total of eight elite powerhouses."The time is about right.
