“What are you doing at the border, Sylvan? Are you rebelling?”

In the Royal Palace in the capital, Hoen was tied to a chair. The rope that bound him was not made of ordinary materials but magic.

Hoen struggled violently and glared at the man with purple hair and elven ears in front of him.

He had planned to lead the army in the palace to attack and eliminate all the forces related to the Watson family. However, before he could leave, he was controlled by Sylvan. If it were in the past, he would still have the strength to fight against the most powerful mage in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, the other party had just said, “Absolute explosion.” Then, he was blown away and lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was already there.

“General Hoen, don’t be so agitated. Yes, I am rebelling. The era of King Landhar III has long passed. It is a fantasy for him to dream of becoming a king and controlling everything. ”

Sylvan’s expression was cold and contained anger. “What I can’t stand is that he attacked my master, Antonio. If my master were injured, I would never let him go.”

“Sylvan, I did not expect you to know about that. Did Watson tell you?”

“No, I told him.”

A gentle female voice interrupted Hoen. A woman with snow-white hair wearing a black bamboo hat walked out of the palace. The woman had pointy ears. Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, looking very beautiful.

“Queen Avril!”

Hoen was stunned. He never thought that Avril, King Landhar III’s most loved person, would appear in his camp.

“Why?”

“Frier has already made a lot of mistakes. We can’t let him continue to make more mistakes.” Avril looked sorrowful.

“If His Majesty knew that you betrayed him, he would be furious. He did all that so that he could live with you.”

“No, he did not do it for me. He did it for himself! If he really did it to resurrect me, he should have stopped after I woke up.”

Avril interrupted Hoen. “Resurrecting me was just his obsession. Maybe he doesn’t feel like I’ve been successfully resurrected! Watson used the power of the human race chess piece to reshape my soul and used life energy to recreate my body. I have the same memories and emotions as the past me. But am I really the same person?”

Hoen fell silent.

“Just like how I’m different from the past, Frier is no longer the same. It was my death that caused him to become like this. I could not stop it at that time, but now I want to change everything! The mistakes that have been made can’t be undone. The only thing we can do is not let the tragedy continue to unfold.”

…

“Augustus, what are you doing? Are you rebelling?”

Initially, there should have been a fierce battle in the Saint Laurent family. However, at that moment, all the members of the Ptolemy and Campbell families were lying on the ground, and Armand was breathing rapidly. He stared at Augustus, who had used his strength to suppress everyone and keep them on the ground.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry! You’ve paid a huge price to use the holy relic to modify me, but in the end, I used that power on you guys.”

Augustus’ muscles flickered with a metallic luster, and circular airwaves were released in all directions from his body. Those airwaves were the ability of a holy relic to contain hundreds of times the gravity. It was enough to push those below platinum-tier to the ground.

“I didn’t expect that the Campbell family’s genius was actually on Watson’s side. I remember that you and Watson have fought many times before. You should have a grudge against him.”

The old king was not pressed to the ground, but he did not move against Augustus either. He only spoke with interest.

“I hate Watson. I hate that he will come out and cause trouble every time I do something. I hate that he is very talented in all aspects and can suppress me! But I choose to defeat him head-on and not use despicable methods like you guys.”

Augustus puffed out his chest and spoke it in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.

“How ambitious. I haven’t heard such foolish and self-righteous words for a long time.” The old king narrowed his eyes and smiled. “No matter what the method is used, the one who will win is the king. No matter how many beautiful words you say, no one will remember you! It’s not too late to regret now. I can pretend that I didn’t hear what you just said. As long as Watson dies, you will be the strongest genius in the kingdom.”

He chose to induce instead of starting a war because the old king knew that Augustus’s strength was not inferior to his. He was already old, and Augustus was still young, so there was no need to overthink the outcome.

“Of course, I know that principle. Do I need you to teach me that?”

Just as he was thinking of using words to move Augustus, the old king did not expect Augustus to curl his lips and snort coldly. “It’s not like I’ve never used despicable methods against Watson. If it worked, he would have died long ago. I only chose to confront him head-on because I knew that those methods would be useless against him! You sounded more imposing when I said that just now, yet you insisted on exposing me. What’s wrong with you? From now on, you should shut up and don’t speak anymore.”

“That…”

The old king was shocked. The three families there were also petrified when they heard that, unable to say a word.

…

At the border…

At that moment, the battle had reached its climax. The members of the Demoness Bandit Gang had joined hands with Nia and were engaged in a fierce fight with the Primordial Demoness. The Demoness Bandit Gang leaders were all wounded, but none of them retreated despite suffering severe injuries. Many of the Primordial Demoness’ eyes were also frozen into ice cubes by Nia’s molecular deceleration.

The Death Dragon King, Nidhogg, single-handedly stopped the monster that had merged with the God Slayer’s Blood. The rest of the people surrounded Watson and Frigga in the middle.

“King Landhar III, or Miss Frigga, is a general. Right now, you don’t have any ability to resist.”

There were three peak-tier starlight items behind Watson—the Limitless Compass, the Wheel of Reversal, and the Book of Wisdom. His body crossed time and space with a simple step to arrive in front of Frigga and threw a punch.

Frigga’s red hair fluttered in the wind as she stared at Watson. The air turned into solid rocks that blocked Watson’s punch while she retreated a hundred meters away.

“That might not be the case. I still have a trump card that I haven’t used yet.”

Frigga’s expression was relaxed. She was in the starlight tier. Even though Watson’s attacks were powerful, their life forms were different. He was unable to harm her foundation.

As a god, her body contained an enormous amount of energy comparable to a planet. If any of that energy were scattered, she would be able to revive herself.

“The trump card you spoke of is to delay me and have your subordinates capture the people on my side in the Holy Dragon Kingdom to threaten me.” Watson’s expression was cold as he opened his right hand and said, “It’s useless. Your plan has already failed.”

A magic light screen appeared in his hand. It split into several pieces, reflecting the scenes of different regions in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The assassins under Frigga’s command were eliminated, and the army was also controlled. It was not only the capital but also the other cities.

Frigga’s expression changed. She knew that Watson did not use magic to fake the scene. That was what happened in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Holding Watson and letting her subordinates massacre the Holy Dragon Kingdom was one of her plans, indeed. She did not expect Watson to see through it.

“It doesn’t matter. They’re just a bunch of stupid rejects. As long as I ascend to a high position, they’ll still grovel on the ground and lick my boots.”

Waving her hand nonchalantly, Frigga’s hair broke free and turned into a giant python that opened its mouth to swallow Watson. He managed to dodge it and shook his head.

“No, Frigga, you’ve already lost. From the moment you lost the support of the people! A throne without the support of the people is just an empty shell, just like a tower without a base. You can’t be despicable to the people. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”

“That’s right, Watson. I am despicable, and you are noble. It is precisely because you are noble that you have fallen into this situation! I am too lazy to waste my breath on you. Did you feel that I have no trump cards left? I will show you!”

Frigga sneered as she stretched her right hand outward. A golden light flashed in her hand, and a female baby appeared in it. It was crying loudly, and it looked like Watson’s sister, Jeanne.

“The Primordial Demoness has the Yin-elemental power, and your mother just happened to give birth to a girl after the Yin-elemental magical source was restored. I have planned for that. I have injected the baby’s body with a large amount of Yin-elemental power.. If I move my fingers, I can crush her to her death! Choose, Watson. Do you want to be a noble king or a despicable person who can save your sister?”
