Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 190
Advertisement
After the fall of Skyfrost City, peace was quickly restored. Enoch completed the coronation ceremony without any controversy and had even issued several decrees.
The decrees included disarmament, tax cuts, and a series of livelihood policies for the people.
The officials were very happy and were filled with confidence in the country.
The only worry was that the strength of the new emperor was much lower than the other emperors in the other countries.
"Your Majesty, now that you are in charge of the fate of a country, other than training hard, you should change the name of the country to show that we are very different from the previous Arctic Country!" suggested the old minister, Andrew.
Enoch nodded and said, "Sir Andrew is right, I also have the same intention! From now on, the Arctic Country will be renamed Cang Yuan Country. We are also prepared to move the capital!"
The ministers were about to nod when they suddenly looked at Enoch in surprise.
"Your Majesty, Skyfrost City is the largest city in my territory, where else can I move to?" asked Andrew.
Enoch did not answer him directly. It was as if he had not thought about it. He turned his head and looked at the corner of the palace, where the God-Slaying squad had gathered. They were standing in front of a map discussing.
"Vincent, have you chosen a location?" asked Enoch.
Vincent turned around and raised his hand to point at a location on the map. He answered, "Yes, we have chosen a location. This is the Remulos Highlands!"
All the ministers were shocked when they heard Vincent's choice. They all looked at each other in a daze.
"W-why is it the Remulos Highlands?" asked Andrew with a puzzled look.
Although Vincent was from Falcon Country, he was the one who helped Enoch ascend the throne. Thus, Andrew would not doubt Vincent's intentions. However, he could not understand why Vincent chose that specific location to move the capital.
Remulos Highlands was located in the southernmost part of the Arctic Country. There were always wars happening there. Therefore, very few people lived there as it had yet to be developed. To build the imperial capital there was not only difficult but also very dangerous!
Vincent said calmly, "The Remulos Highlands has many advantages. The altitude there is slightly higher, the terrain is flat, and the climate is warm. It is suitable for living. If we can build a grand capital city, it will definitely have the momentum to swallow thousands of miles. It will definitely be very magnificent!"
Andrew sighed helplessly and said, "Although your God-Slaying squad is skilled in battle and has great strength, you clearly do not have a good understanding of the affairs of the country. Although the Remulos Highlands has all sorts of benefits, it is at the center of the world. It borders Scorching Sun Country, Scarlet Country, and Falcon Country. They are eyeing it from all sides. It is a land of many battles. Once a capital city is established there, it will inevitably attract the attacks of the other three countries. We will never have peace!"

Vincent nodded and said, "You're right, but these are all the advantages of Remulos Highlands! Being at the center of the world, closely connected to the other three countries is a great place to build the capital. This is because Cang Yuan Country would definitely unify the Human Race in the future and dominate the other countries! As for the issue of war, I think with the God-Slaying squad around, there shouldn't be a need to worry about it, right?"
Andrew stood rooted to the ground. He looked at Vincent and the confident members of the God-Slaying squad. Only after a long time did he come back to his senses.
"You, you still want to continue the war? Didn't we agree to cultivate the people?" asked Andrew helplessly.
Vincent smiled and said, "The Cang Yuan Country should indeed stop the military and cultivate the people. Unifying the Human Race is not necessary war. We have other ways to make the people of the world reunite once again!"
Andrew shook his head and asked in disbelief, "What other ways?"
Vincent raised the disk of the teleportation array high up and said, "Building the capital city will not be done in a day. We have to build a school in Remulos Highlands first. No matter what country, as long the human is above the level of a lord, they can come to school! When the time comes, all the elites in the world will come from the Cang Yuan Country, and there will be no need to worry about the unification of the world!"
Andrew chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Naive! Too naive! A lord-class superpowered user is a top existence in every country. They even have high positions. Why should they come to the Cang Yuan Country to study?"
Vincent smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head to look at Teacher Chris and Chris, who had a white cloth wrapped around his head.
Teacher Chris and Chris both took a step forward. They said to the crowd, "With just us, we can let the Human Race advance to ruler-class, or even higher levels! We have also established relations with a powerful race among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. They will be our strongest allies. One day, when the God-Slaying squad is completely annihilated, we will still have friends who are several times stronger than us who will come and help us!"
"Establish relations with other races?"
Andrew looked at Vincent and the others in shock. Although he felt that what he heard was a fantasy, it was as if he saw another possibility where the humans and the Black Hole races could coexist in harmony!
If they could establish relations with the kind races and resist the evil invaders from other races, they could then use this to increase the strength of the Human Race. That would indeed be the best strategy for the development of the Human Race!
Andrew nodded slowly and said, "In that case, your arrangement is very good. I agree to move the capital to Remulos Highlands!"

The other ministers also nodded in agreement. However, suddenly, a minister stood up and objected, "Wait! I don't agree to move the capital, and I don't agree to change the country's name!"
Everyone was puzzled after hearing what he had said.
Vincent looked at the minister and revealed a faint smile.
Andrew shook his head. He was wondering why the minister was being unreasonable.
Enoch sat on the throne and asked indifferently, "Oh? Then tell me why not?"
The minister dodge everyone's gazes and said helplessly, "Frank is on the run now and could come back at any time. If we move the capital and build a school there, wouldn't it give him an opportunity to return? Therefore, I suggest that we keep the national title of the Arctic Country and the original policy and system. We can talk about it after we completely eliminate Frank!"
The other ministers in the hall instantly scoffed when they heard what he had said. They all understood the meaning behind his words.
He was worried that Frank would return one day and ascend the throne again. And when he does return, he would settle accounts with the ministers who supported the new country. That was why he proposed this. He was just trying to protect himself!
Enoch smiled faintly and said, "You are worrying too much! Frank did not escape. Vincent had caught up to him and killed him. Therefore, there will no longer be any internal troubles in our country. All new policies must be implemented without delay!"
When Andrew heard this, he immediately echoed, "Yes, sir! We will do our best to bring benefits to the people of Cang Yuan Country as soon as possible!"
As the Minister of Affairs, Andrew was not interested in the expansion of the country. However, he was very eager to complete the policies that Enoch had set for the benefit of the people. Moreover, he took the initiative to comply with them in order to give that timid person a chance. If he knew how to advance and retreat, he would have retreated obediently.
However, that minister did not pay attention to Andrew's good intentions. Instead, he turned to look at Vincent and said disdainfully, "Everyone in the world knows that although this Vincent is the captain of the God-Slaying squad, he is just a puppet. The real powerhouses are Teacher Chris, who is a ruler-class superpowered person, and Chris, who had just advanced. So, how can Vincent kill Frank?"
The palace fell silent. Everyone stared at the mad dog-like minister with their mouths agape. He actually dared to ridicule Vincent in front of everyone. Was he crazy?
He was actually not crazy. Although he was afraid of death, he had his own little tricks!
He was against the idea of moving the capital and implementing new policies. However, it was not because he was short-sighted. As he wanted to protect his reasonable request, he had to attack Vincent who proposed moving the capital!
Ever since the God-Slaying squad became famous, the outside world had only heard that they were all king-class superpowered people and that Teacher Chris was a ruler-class superpowered person. No one had ever mentioned Vincent's strength!
Therefore, the minister thought that he was smart enough to guess that there would definitely be conflicts within the God-Slaying squad because their power and status were not proportional to each other. That was his reason for questioning Vincent. He had also overestimated Teacher Chris and Chris. He was hoping that he could obtain their support. At that time, Vincent would not dare to say anything!
However, to the minister's surprise, Teacher Chris and Chris did not express their support for him. Instead, they looked at him angrily, as if they were ready to kill him at any time!
"You, you..."
The timid minister could not help but show a trace of panic. He was unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Vincent!"
Chris shouted Vincent's name angrily as if he was asking for his permission to make a move. At the same time, he was trying to persuade him not to endure the minister any longer!
Ever since he returned to the human world, Vincent had never made a real move. He only acted as a helper outside the battlefield because it was the consensus of the entire God-Slaying squad to ensure that he would not show his strength!
However, after enduring for so long, not only had he bewitched the spies hiding in the Human Race, but he had also bewitched some truly stupid humans. On the contrary, Vincent had been questioned for no reason!
Vincent took in a faint breath. He had already made a decision. From this day onwards, he would not tolerate it anymore!
He wanted to use the most arrogant attitude to help the fate of the Human Race. Regardless of whether it was to the dangerous foreign races or to the doubters within the Human Race, he was not going to tolerate it anymore!
Vincent gently raised his hand, and a violent flame instantly rose. He then condensed it into a small flame that swayed with the wind. It then turned into countless thin lines of fire and flew to every corner of the palace.
At that moment, Vincent's state of mind was clear, and his boldness soared to the clouds. A thought instantly appeared in his mind, and he sighed softly, "Extinguish the gods!"
Boom!
A violent explosion instantly sounded. Suddenly, flames erupted all over the palace and uprooted the entire palace.
The entire palace disappeared into the mushroom cloud in mid-air.
The only thing left on the ground was the neat floor and the people who were unharmed.
The minister who doubted Vincent fell to his knees.
Vincent turned his head and sighed softly, "Ah! Since there's no more palace here, we have to move the capital!"

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

That way of thinking, my friends, is entirely wrong. What seperates us from them and them from each other, is simply the skin that we all wear
