"I hope they beat each other to a pulp." "What's the point of that? Honestly, I'd rather see them team up and blast through the Spirale Clan's headquarters. Then, we could swoop in while they're all bleeding." "For real! That's the dream scenario." Whispers spread like wildfire among the hidden factions watching from the shadows. Everyone was on edge and was ready to strike at any moment. Up on the city walls, the Spirale Clan's commanders looked equally tense. Every tech weapon at every major outpost had been activated and armed. If Lucifer and Samson really decided to join forces and attack, the clan wouldn't hesitate to unleash full-scale S-class firepower—no matter the cost. But to everyone's disappointment, neither Lucifer nor Samson showed up. Instead, it was just their legions standing off.There was no fighting—only the clashing of their immense energies. Nothing more. "Are they going to fight or not?" one of the champions muttered, irritated. "We've be
Gideon clenched his teeth, then dropped a bombshell. He said, "You've been trying to find the first half of the Snow Beast Clan's inheritance scroll, right? I know where it is." His eyes narrowed."I'm not telling you now," Gideon added quickly. "Just let me use your stealth aircraft. I'll give you the location once I finish what I came to do. Whether you can get your hands on it... that'll be up to you. I swear on my life. I'm not lying." Ewan stared at him hard. There was nothing but truth in Gideon's eyes."You'd better not be lying." "Come on. Do I look like that kind of guy?" Gideon said with a cheeky grin. Ewan let out a cold snort but finally turned around and led him to a military base. What came into view was a sleek, flat-shaped stealth aircraft.Its design was simple. But the simpler it looked, the more extraordinary it was."This is the most advanced fighter our clan has ever built. I call it Ghostler. And I can say with confidence that it's the fastest stea
Gideon might just gouge his eyes out if Kingsley accidentally saw something he wasn't supposed to.What the hell was he supposed to do now?Kingsley was so anxious that he started stomping his feet.Right then, Alistair, Ajax, Ian, Justin, and the other champions all sensed the chill and rushed over. "Umbra's inside meditating. I'm not sure what happened, but this cold air is flooding out.""Ms. Crescent's got a pure-essence physique. That's pure essence energy. From the feel of it, she's leveled up again. Her energy is even more intense now. This is a great sign."Fall back. Don't disturb her."The champions pulled their elite troops back several miles, leaving Umbra alone in the area.Just as they figured, she was evolving again.After the frenzy poison that had plagued her body was finally cleansed, she felt a massive wave of relief and hit a breakthrough right on the spot.Back when she was in the eastern plains, she was barely hanging on at tier six transcendent. Now? S
"All hail the King!"Almost like they were going head-to-head in secret, the ten legions of the Dragon's Aegis dropped to one knee and shouted with everything they had, voices thundering across the land.Their chant was even louder, deeper, and more powerful than the one from The Light Council's legions—so powerful that it shook the sky and the earth, drilling straight into the soul.Spectators were stunned.Two living legends—Pope of Light and the King of Dasovia—standing at the absolute peak of the world, had shown up in the same place.It was insane.Could it be that they were really about to go to war tonight? If so, it was going to tear the whole damn place apart. A clash between two ninth-tier peak powerhouses was no joke. Once someone hit that tier, they were in a whole different league. Unless one reached that same realm, they'd never understand how terrifying their strength truly was.The difference between the eighth and ninth tier was just a single tier. In reality,
Moreover, Chase was the face of Dasovia. He had to be even more mindful of his image.Even though the two of them were fighting from a distance, every strike carried crushing force—each blow could easily wipe out a peak-level eighth-tier warrior without breaking a sweat.That was the power of a Supreme."Divine Radiance Palm!"The Pope threw out a palm strike that exploded into a sea of white. The sky lit up like high noon, blinding and majestic."Verdant Emperor's Fist of Nature!"Chase's presence was cold and regal. As his fist surged forward, it felt like the mountains, rivers, and forests themselves rose to follow him.A brilliant green wave of power clashed into the blinding white."Well played! Let me see your full Five Emperors Divine Fist, Chase!" the Pope shouted with excitement.The King of Dasovia bore the name of Chase Cook. The name alone dripped with authority."You'd better be ready," Chase said coldly."Flaming Scarlet Fist!"This punch blazed crimson red, l
"Radiant Holy Palm!" Pope of Light chanted, his voice booming like thunder as he struck out at Chase.Behind him, a towering celestial phantom took form—The Radiant One.And in that moment, the phantom moved. Mirroring the Pope's every motion. The massive, glowing hand of the Radiant One began to descend, pressing down on Chase like the wrath of a god."A sacred technique of the Zonia Sect… So, you're tied to them, too? You've even mastered the Radiant Holy Palm!"Chase's face darkened slightly.During the previous reign, the Zonia Sect had already started stirring up chaos. But the king's full focus had been on strengthening its national power, leaving the monks unchecked.This allowed the Zonia Sect to grow bolder and more powerful.The moment he ascended the throne, his first order of business was to deal with them. But by then, the sect had already evolved into a formidable force. Even as the king, wiping them out was no simple task.He'd been locked in a silent war with th
Samson growled, "Just keep an eye on them. Don't interfere with anything else."Waves of beastly roars rippled through the air.Lucifer hadn't just forced the allied forces to retreat. He'd also driven off all the lurking powerhouses watching from the shadows. That included the overbeast and various native tribes from Asgard Plains.It didn't take long. Within a thousand-mile radius, the battlefield had cleared. Only 20 legions remained.Of course, a few bold and overconfident strongholds still stayed hidden in the shadows, watching—like Umbra. She hadn't followed Kingsley's retreat."What the hell is Lucifer doing?" Ewan muttered atop the city wall, baffled.Something felt off—very off. There was a bad feeling gnawing at his gut, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from."Send the order to initiate top-level combat protocol.""Yes, Mr. Moore!"Ewan looked to the sky, worry etched into his face.The battle between Chase and Pope of Light probably wouldn't end in a decisi
"Chase, you're so full of yourself!" Pope of Light sneered. "You think you alone can take on both me and Yohan? That level of arrogance is just plain stupid."He chuckled with contempt. "Once Yohan breaches the Spirale Clan's fortress and gets his hands on Genetic Bond, the two of us will join forces. Then maybe—just maybe—we can put you down for good."What do you think of that?"Down on the ground, the battlefield erupted into chaos.Samson, watching Yohan's sudden arrival, realized how serious things had gotten. He wanted to intervene and help the Spirale Clan, but Lucifer wasn't letting that happen.Ten-on-ten. That was it. A true, all-out legion war.Over a million troops clashed with zero hesitation. It was a brutal, no-holds-barred bloodbath.Samson was locked in a ferocious duel with Lucifer. The ten legion commanders were going head-to-head—every one of them.

Following the flow of Blue River, Gideon finally made his way out of the city. He climbed ashore at a hidden spot, returning to the same location from over two weeks ago. But Umbra and Orabella were nowhere to be found. With no better option, he set off to look for Kingsley. Along the way, Gideon caught sight of something that stopped him in his tracks—the Dragon's Aegis legions squaring off against The Light Council legions. "Damn! That's overwhelming." Gideon was stunned. Ten legions on each side, with two million soldiers in total. They were all elites—every single one a martial artist of high caliber. Each legion moved as a single organism, able to strike hard or pull back on a dime. And to Gideon, these 20 legions could crush Kingsley, Rhett, and all eight major royal families—even if they had ten million troops combined. The sight lit something inside him. The world was shifting, and power structures were changing. It was time for him to stop relying on
