"Certainly, you can," Ewan quickly replied, sending a message before asking, "And what about the second issue?" "Frenzy poison!" Gideon revealed.Ewan's expression tensed as he pondered. Being highly astute, he questioned, "My young friend, have you been afflicted by the frenzy poison? No, that can't be right. "You've developed the Solar Titan Physique, which means you could overcome such a poison. So, is it your friend who has been poisoned?""Take it slow. No rush," Ewan added, directing his focus to the screen. "We can't afford to miss this thrilling battle that only comes around once in a lifetime." Gideon felt powerless. All he could do was sit quietly with Ewan and watch the battle unfold.15 minutes later, footsteps echoed. Ewan called out, "Snowy, come in." The sharp sound of footsteps followed. Gideon glanced over and saw a striking young woman enter. As Winter had mentioned, her younger sister Snowy was only 18 years old this year, having just reached adulthood.
"Your wife has been deceiving you. She's taking advantage of you!" Ewan said.Gideon's eyelids twitched as he heard Ewan's accusation. Could Winter really be misleading him? That didn't seem possible.He dismissed those unsettling thoughts and silently acknowledged Ewan's cunning nature. With just a small ploy, Ewan had nearly succeeded in making Gideon question himself. What a wily and shrewd man! What a clever old fox!Gideon asked, "What can you tell me about the antidote for the frenzy poison?" Ewan grinned. "The antidote will be given to you once the battle outside concludes and things have calmed down. There's no other motive. I simply wish to foster a positive relationship with a promising young talent like yourself." "Are you really that kind?" Ewan laughed. "Don't think of people as being so bad. Actually, the Spirale Clan is very fond of peace. If we weren't, with our advanced technology, we could conquer Asgard Plains—if not the entire world. But in truth, our cla
At that moment, Gideon had a sudden realization. So, that was what was happening! Both The Light Council and Dasovia were secretly involved in genetic engineering, and they were both after Genetic Bond. Whoever acquired it could push genetic engineering forward. It might not catapult the field decades ahead, but it could certainly accelerate progress by a few years. This realization was alarming."I've been duped!" Gideon thought angrily. The Light Council had plans to attack the Spirale Clan, and he had inadvertently aided them. At that moment, Gideon felt a wave of disappointment. Orabella had been plotting against him for a long time. It made sense now why, despite having numerous chances to leave, Orabella chose to remain by his side. Suddenly, Gideon remembered what Ewan had said earlier. He hadn't believed it then. But now, realizing Orabella's betrayal, he couldn't help but question… What about Winter? Could she have been involved, too?For a moment, Gideon was utter
"Conquering the world, huh? You're certainly ambitious," Gideon mocked, his presence intensifying to its zenith. "You want me to take the GeneX Pill and use me for your experiment? That's just a fantasy." "Gideon, you are indeed formidable. Honestly, I'm not sure I could defeat you in the open. But here, in this main hall and secret chamber, I have complete control. Neither you nor even Lucifer and Samson combined could cause much trouble here." As Ewan spoke, the secret room began to tremble, and three Dragonsbane Mechs emerged. Additionally, a high-tech weapon the size of a person slowly rolled into view behind Ewan, exerting more pressure on Gideon than the mechs. "Allow me to introduce this. This is a Dragonsbane Mech..." "I already know. I captured one in Beaumere." Ewan's expression shifted, and he asked gravely, "What happened in Beaumere?" "Wiped out!" Gideon curtly replied.Ewan's face flinched slightly. He took a deep breath to control his anger. "That explains i
Gideon pondered for a moment. "I have a question. Why me? If you want to run experiments, there are plenty of people in the Spirale Clan. You could've done this long ago.""No, no, no." Ewan shook his head repeatedly. "This GeneX Pill is obviously something terrifying. Ordinary people wouldn't survive it. I needed someone who had cultivated a special physique."In fact, over the past year, I have found several warriors with battle-forged bodies. But their battle physiques were just average."For the experiment to succeed, I want the best battle physique. Your Solar Titan Physique… is simply the perfect choice."Gideon, I have high hopes for you."Ewan's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he could already see the experiment's success.Then, three Dragonsbane Mechs surrounded Gideon."Let's warm up first."The battle erupted instantly.Gideon clashed with the three Dragonsbane Mechs.The Dragonsbane Mech back in Beaumere had already been damaged, which was why Gideon had been
At that moment, Gideon found himself in a strange state. He could clearly feel his body undergoing changes. However, he couldn't tell what exactly was changing.In his mind, eerie images surfaced—chains twisting and intertwining, floating through the void."Is this the DNA strand?" Gideon was fascinated.It was these very chains that determined every aspect of a person's traits, a masterpiece of nature."This structure is truly flawless." Gideon was in awe.Just then, a burst of radiant light shot forth as if carrying the momentum of a thousand armies.The chains seemed to sense the threat and immediately began whirling, tangling together to form a spherical mass."That's…"Gideon was startled. He knew exactly what that light was. It was the mysterious genetic sequence contained within the GeneX Pill.The intruder had begun its assault.A silent, soundless war erupted. The intruder slammed into the sphere, attempting to tear an opening, while the sphere spun wildly in defense
"Winter, I missed you so much… You're finally here… Huhuhu…" Snowy's eyes brimmed with tears as she sobbed.Winter gently stroked Snowy's silky hair and asked with concern, "You haven't been through any hardships in the Spirale Clan, have you?""Don't worry, Winter. I'm fine. I acknowledged Ewan as my godfather, so my status is quite high. No one dares to mistreat me. It's just that a few of the direct heirs keep harassing me, but that's all. They wouldn't dare take it too far.""That's good." Winter finally felt at ease.Snowy asked, "Winter, how did you get in?""I came through Blue River.""That river is destructive to the human body! Winter, are you okay?""I'm fine."The two leaned on each other in the pavilion, chatting for a long time, sharing everything that had happened during their time apart."What?" When Snow heard that Winter had given her pure-essence core to Gideon, she was both shocked and furious."Winter, you fool! Men are all untrustworthy scoundrels! How c
Outside the city, chaos brewed in the coalition army's camp."It's been half a month, and we still haven't made any progress. If this deadlock continues, we'll get nowhere.""The Spirale Clan only lost three defensive lines. Other than that, they’ve barely suffered any real damage. Instead, they're watching from the sidelines.""Now, even the leaders stop fighting. Samson and Lucifer haven't shown up for days, and the top ten legions on both sides have all gone quiet."Rhett, Emmanuel, and other faction leaders, along with representatives of the eight royal families, all voiced their grievances.However, Kingsley and the other world-class champions remained calm and unshaken. They believed in Gideon.Countless times before, he had faced perilous obstacles and life-or-death crises, only to turn the tide at the last moment. This time would be no different."Stop your whining. If you're scared, impatient, or losing your courage, then take your forces and leave.""If anyone dares t
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
