As Graham flashed a twisted, maniacal grin, Gideon calmly remarked, "Do you think I won't kill you?" "If you kill me, Gideon, you and your family will be obliterated. You can't begin to comprehend the might of the Crosby family from Oriville. If you doubt it, go to the Wasteland and see for yourself," Graham retorted with confidence, assured of the Crosbys' influence. But Gideon merely shook his head. "Someone insignificant like you isn't worth my time. It's laughable. Prepare to face your demise."As the words were spoken, a sudden flash of cold light streaked by. Graham's face went rigid, his eyes narrowing. He grasped his throat, his expression one of utter disbelief. Gradually, his eyes widened and became unfocused. His head hit the ground with a thud. Even in his final moments, Graham couldn't comprehend why. Why would Gideon have the audacity to kill him?Soon, the Goldspire police department sent a large contingent of officers to manage the situation. Meanwhile, Gideon
Nonetheless, Gideon had dispatched champions such as Ian to Tylland to gather intelligence on The Light Council. To ensure their safety, all lines of communication were cut off. As a result, Lysander was unable to contact them."I can't deploy Cipher's entire force without Mr. Jackman's authorization. What in the world am I supposed to do?" Lysander paced back and forth with restless anxiety.After careful consideration, he realized he had to leverage his connections to contact the governments of 156 countries and request their help. Cipher, being the world's largest intelligence agency, frequently provided intelligence to various nations. These ongoing interactions had fostered amicable relationships. When Cipher sought assistance, these countries were eager to oblige. It was an excellent opportunity to strengthen their bonds with Cipher, so why wouldn't they seize it? In a flash, the intelligence agencies of 156 nations mobilized. Alongside the might of Cipher, it felt as tho
Gideon gently placed the refined Soul Preservation Pill into Elara's mouth before lifting her onto the aircraft. To save time on the journey to Moblathos, he chose to bring Elara along and treat her directly within Moblathos' territory.A transcendent piloted the aircraft."Take care on your journey, sir," Arabella said with a concerned expression. She had spoken with Keagan and discovered that Moblathos was not an ordinary group. It was rumored that Kori Paget, who had dominated the world decades ago, originated from Moblathos. Gideon was already aware of this information. He smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. This trip will last a few days. Tell Lord Keagan to be patient." With a whoosh, the aircraft ascended into the sky and vanished into the vastness above. Based on the details Lysander provided, Moblathos' domain was situated on a secluded island in Stolia, which was hard to locate. Luckily, they had the coordinates.A day later, the aircraft touched down in
"This direction..." the pilot began. "It's Moblathos." Gideon smirked, feeling intrigued. It was obvious that these people harbored malicious intentions. They had to be planning to stir up trouble for Moblathos. Otherwise, they wouldn't have picked this timing to make their move. What a fortunate turn of events! "Stay here and wait for my update. Do nothing until I give the command." "Yes, sir!" Gideon then retrieved a small submarine from the aircraft and launched it into the ocean, trailing the large fleet as it moved toward Moblathos' lair. The sky rumbled with thunder, and lightning lit up the sky, signaling a severe storm was approaching. Amid the turbulent waters, a series of black warships surged ahead. In the center was a massive and heavily armed main warship.In the cockpit of the flagship, a woman dressed in black combat armor gazed out at the ocean through the window. Her expression was icy, and a fierce intent to kill glinted in her eyes."Your Highness, we'r
Years ago, Kori was a dominant force on the global stage, a figure who instilled fear in many martial arts warriors. Yet, this formidable warrior was only the second-in-command of Moblathos. The group's legendary supreme leader was of unimaginable power and shrouded in mystery. Even the Moblathos leaders had only encountered this individual a few times."It's time. Strike now," Kori instructed, waving his robe. Immediately, the warriors surged forward in unison. Orders were rapidly given, and the entire island seemed to awaken. Over a century of operation, Moblathos had turned the island into an unassailable stronghold. Their defensive arsenal was impressive, with missile bases lining the island's edges and numerous warplanes and combat vehicles at the ready. The storm intensified, with thunder rumbling relentlessly. Purple lightning slashed through the night sky, casting light over the landscape. Sheets of rain poured down as the waves churned fiercely.…"Your Highness, we
Intercepting the submarines proved to be incredibly challenging. Additionally, with the close-range attack occurring within a five-mile perimeter, Moblathos had no time to respond. "Alert! Alert!" The command center of Moblathos sounded the alarm immediately, triggering the automatic activation of the secondary interception system. Explosions ripped through the air. One by one, the powerful missiles were intercepted and detonated. Despite this, the missiles were so potent that the energy waves from their explosions in the sky swept over the island. Numerous mountains and forests were incinerated, and the initial defensive barrier along the island's shoreline was breached."Damn it!" the chief bellowed in rage. The situation was still dire. Not all of the 88 missiles had been successfully intercepted. "Oh, no!" The chief watched as the radar displayed three missiles heading straight for the island. It was too late! With a boom, the three missiles detonated at the same time,
Landon's talent was extraordinary. With just one punch, an icy presence erupted, forming into a spear that flew forward like lightning, aiming to impale Gideon on the spot. "Just in time," Gideon grinned. He responded with a punch of his own, employing Detonation Fist. His entire demeanor radiated a regal authority. Gideon was eager to finish the fight swiftly, knowing that lingering in Moblathos' territory could lead to unforeseen complications.The spear shattered with a loud explosion. Landon's face grew tense as he shifted into a more serious stance for the battle. At the same time, Gideon surged ahead with the ferocity of a tiger. "Hell's Punch!" Suddenly, a massive shadow figure of Hell King appeared, glowing with golden light and towering majestically behind Gideon.Landon's eyes narrowed, but as a remarkable talent, he quickly regained his composure and launched a full-force attack. The air turned icy, and the ground began to freeze. "Glacier Saber!" he shouted, e
Suddenly, a precious sword appeared in Landon's grip. He swung it with great force, and the blade's light extended 1,000 feet, slicing through the dragon-elephant's shadow. "Great!" the observing mentees shouted with excitement. Gideon lifted an eyebrow, surprised but unfazed. He didn't budge. In his view, Landon, clutching the sword, was descending rapidly, charging straight at him. "Sky-Burial Saber! Perish!" Landon shouted fiercely. As the intense attack approached, Gideon stayed calm and countered with a punch, yelling, "Boundless Fist." The light from his fist soared skyward. Landon's sword clashed with the fist, and they were cinched in a deadlock. Ultimately, a massive explosion occurred, sending Landon hurtling backward."How can this be?" "Mr. Waller actually lost!" "That's the Sky Burial Saber! It's one of Mr. Waller's most formidable and unique techniques. He once defeated three peak transcendent experts with just one swing of that saber!" "What's happening
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
