Bennett's face shifted quickly, but he soon regained his calm and smiled. "It's wonderful to have Ronan back. Yet, upon his return, he broke into the prison and freed criminals from the Inferno Order and Naesbrey Fortress. Why did he do that?""Bennett, enough. Marshal Snow is backing Umbra. You might not be aware, having been in the eastern plains, but Marshal Snow is fearsome. He's a prodigy who can call upon the nation's fate and can stand against a supreme warrior." "If he discovers anything has happened to Umbra, he'll surely head to the eastern plains for revenge. At that point, Martialgarde will be destroyed, and you won't escape death, either.""Is that really true?" Bennett's heart raced with anxiety. However, Derrick, standing next to him, reassured him, "Why worry? Martialgarde has joined forces with our clan. On top of that, my daughter is with your son, which means we'll be family eventually. If Martialgarde faces any trouble, our clan will definitely step in. "Our
Beneath Colossus Dragon Mountain, Gideon had undergone a complete transformation inside the underground palace. An immense energy enveloped his whole being. His core was incredibly strong and robust. The power of his physique had escalated to a frightening degree. His vital energy and blood were coursing intensely.Not even a creature at the half apex of an overbeast could likely rival Gideon in the intensity of his vital energy and blood flow. At that moment, he resembled a humanoid tyrannosaurus. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged behind him, slowly taking on a solid form. This was the Heaven-Earth Incarnation.Gideon was on the verge of completing his final effort. He was nearly there, just a bit more to go. Once he overcame this obstacle, his Heaven-Earth Incarnation would have reached the early stage.Just a little bit! Just a little bit more! In Gideon's imagination, the ghostly image of the king from Nethercult repeatedly surfaced, vivid and realistic. The shadowy fig
What an incredible compression! Gideon condensed the impressive and fearsome energy to its utmost limit, creating an energy sphere the size of an egg. That could be the ultimate core. Naturally, it was only a possibility.Gideon had no knowledge of how to form a supreme core. He was merely speculating, unaware of what the outcomes might be.As the pressure increased, the energy sphere shrank further, and the potential threat intensified. If Gideon lost control, the compressed energy sphere would rapidly expand and ultimately explode. He couldn't bear to think about the consequences.Colossus Dragon Mountain was on the verge of collapsing, potentially harming the dragon vein. This was a national treasure of immense significance. It wasn't just any ordinary dragon vein. If it was damaged, Dasovia's destiny would undoubtedly diminish to some degree.This was extremely important, so Gideon had to give it his all. The veins across his body popped out, and his usually handsome face con
Gideon couldn't quite explain it, but he sensed something deep within him. He decided it was the perfect moment to attempt to oversee the entire nation.The task proved to be quite challenging. Gideon wasn't a king. He had merely been granted the dragon vein's blessing. He walked up to the grand and revered statue of the king, aiming to harness the power of Chase's statue. Gideon discarded the imperial decree, causing the imperial essence blood within to erupt and surprisingly animate Chase's statue. Suddenly, thousands of beams of divine light appeared. The scene was both majestic and awe-inspiring. The statue of the deity wasn't a tangible object. It appeared to be formed from a combination of dragon vein energy and the nation's destiny, merging reality with illusion.Gideon boldly charged into Chase's statue. Instantly, he experienced a sensation of being the ruler of the world. Right now, his understanding of the eastern side intensified."Eastern plains!" Gideon's eyelids f
Oasis Vale was isolated from the rest of the world. Few knew that in this peaceful valley lived a group of extraordinary people, including the overlords of the criminal underworld, business magnates with net worths that rivaled countries, and even core government officials of various countries.It was noon, and Gideon Snow walked out of the cottage with a basket in hand."Sir!"Ajax Bale, a burly, heavily bearded man, scrambled up to Gideon as he herded the goats around him. "As per your punishment, I have tended to the goats for a month. Today is the last day. What should I do next?""You can start harvesting the wheat next.""That's my job, sir! What am I supposed to do if Ajax takes over?" Donald Ingleson, Cherony's minister of defense, asked with a pitiful expression."You can be in charge of cleaning up the dung.""You got it, sir."Gideon had only taken a few more steps when someone approached him and reported, "Sir! Justin Mugler, the military commander of Magaria, and P
"I knew it! It's just as I thought. I knew you didn't die, you old bugger! You tricked me for three years!"Gideon hadn't found a body in the grave, but he had expected as much. Titus had been an enigmatic figure who possessed extraordinary abilities. Why would someone like that abruptly claim to have come to his life's end and decide to bury himself? It was unthinkable.Nevertheless, Gideon couldn't disobey Titus, his mentor, so he had to do as told and guard the grave for three years."If I don't get a treasure that's to my satisfaction, Titus, that means you wasted three years of my youth. I'll make you pay for that at some point," Gideon grumbled.Alas, even after combing through the entire grave thoroughly, he found nothing other than a letter."You old con artist," Gideon ranted before opening the envelope with a scowl on his face. He found two pages of a letter.After he read the first page, his scowl of dissatisfaction was replaced by a moved expression. According to the
"No!" the crowd screamed, but the suicide operative merely cackled evilly.Yet, all was silent. There was no explosion.Even the suicide operative was stumped. He kept spamming the red button, but nothing happened. He had no clue that a silver needle had been shot into the controller, cutting off the circuit.At the same time, Benny and Derek shot down the two armed operatives, while the bomb-strapped one was hit in all four limbs and fell onto a pool of his blood. The airport police swiftly swarmed in to subdue him."Let go of me! This is impossible! Why didn't it explode? Why?" the suicide operative screamed at the top of his lungs."This proves that fate favors Dasovia and me," Lavinia declared icily. "Tylland has committed many atrocities and will surely come to a terrible end. Take him away and interrogate him."Slowly, peace returned to the departure hall. The passengers, who were still reeling from the ordeal, came up to Lavinia with looks of awe and respect."It is truly
"Dominic Zeller?" Gideon repeated. Frowning, he remarked, "The name sounds familiar to me.""He's a good friend of Hercule's, sir! Hercule mentioned that to you before.""I remember now."When Gideon first captured Hercule and brought him back to Oasis Vale, Hercule claimed that Dominic would be coming to save him.Dominic had indeed turned up, but it wasn't Gideon he faced. Paul, Ajax, and a few others had given him a thorough thrashing, and he fled with his tail between his legs.Smiling, Leopold explained, "Somehow, Dominic heard that you'll be coming to Goldspire, so he dared not stick around to act like a big shot here. He came to me and offered Beaker Island to be your residence."Gideon chuckled. "He's quick-witted and amenable, I see. Did he mention anything about wanting to save Hercule from Oasis Vale?""He said he wouldn't dare to and that it would be good for Hercule to undergo some training at Oasis Vale," Leopold replied. "In fact, he said that if given the chance,

"Show yourself!" Derrick's voice echoed through the air and across the ground, lingering for quite a while. It left Apollo and the others with ringing ears. The difference in power between them and Derrick was substantial. A powerful energy erupted from the prison, cutting off Derrick's voice.Ronan emerged slowly and remarked icily, "I've heard of Talonclaw. You all came to the eastern plains, interfered with Martialgarde, and created chaos. That's truly overstepping!" "Who are you?" Derrick questioned, squinting. He could feel Ronan's strength, and he wasn't sure he could overpower him."Ronan.""Are you part of Martialgarde, too?" "My identity isn't important. What matters is that I urge Talonclaw to withdraw from Martialgarde and even the eastern plains." Derrick chuckled. He replied with a mocking tone, "And what if I refuse?" "I'm genuinely trying to help you. You've overtaken Naesbrey Fortress and captured Umbra. Do you realize the severity of the situation? If you d
"If you agree to become my partner, I'll free everyone from Naesbrey Fortress. I understand, Umbra, that you have high standards. But with Talonclaw's assistance, I'm close to uniting the eastern plains and becoming its supreme ruler. I believe I'm deserving of you," Bennett declared. Although his son was near Umbra's age, Bennett had always desired her beauty. Now that a golden opportunity presented itself, Bennett wasn’t about to let it pass by. "Umbra, you need to think this through."Umbra cried, "Bennett, stop with your fantasies. You disgust me. All you're after is my pure-essence physique core. You want to use my essence to reach the Supreme level! You're delusional! I'd rather drain my essence completely and die than let you achieve your goal."Humph! Someone will avenge me soon enough. You, Martialgarde, and Talonclaw will all be reduced to ashes!" Umbra's beautiful face twisted with fury. Her anger was so intense that she wished she could tear Bennett apart."How pres
"Oh?" The three other elderly individuals turned their attention to Logan, their faces marked by surprise. The elderly woman asked, "Why do you hold him in such high regard? Is there a specific reason?" Logan simply shook his head and replied, "Just wait and see." Gideon made his way through the lengthy corridor and reached the subterranean palace located beneath Colossus Dragon Mountain. The area was filled with strong energy fluctuations. As the mightiest dragon vein in Dasovia, and with this being the dragon head's location, its formidable nature was beyond imagination.Successive waves of energy surged forward, colliding with Gideon's body and compelling him to engage his Solar Titan Physique for protection. He moved with caution, progressing gradually. Lost in a trance, he heard the mighty roar of a dragon echoing around him.Before Gideon, it seemed as if an actual dragon was gliding majestically through the sky and earth. It was truly awe-inspiring and divine! "Press
Gideon felt uncertain. At that moment, Morgan hurried over. Maximus had been the one to alert him. Earlier, upon discovering that Gideon had entered the Concubines' Quarters and worried he wouldn't be able to intervene, Maximus had informed Morgan while en route.Upon Morgan's arrival, he inquired, "Marshal Snow, the Imperial Palace is incredibly expansive. With so many places to explore, why choose to visit the Concubines' Quarters and disrupt the women here?" Gideon replied, "If I don't visit the Concubines' Quarters, then I'll head to Colossus Dragon Mountain. Is that alright?""Colossus Dragon Mountain?" Morgan was momentarily surprised. Recalling Chase's words, he continued, "Certainly, it's possible. But if I may, Marshal Snow, what is your purpose for going to Colossus Dragon Mountain? It's Forbidden Grounds!""I plan to examine the dragon vein."Morgan and Maximus were taken aback. Gideon asked, "Is that prohibited?""Marshal Snow, you certainly have a talent for sa
Gideon was taken aback and hurriedly exclaimed, "Sir, you mustn't say things like that!"Logan rose from his seat and paced around Gideon. His aged eyes shone with a vivid sparkle, secretly appreciating him. "Impressive. You've acquired another type of heavenly flame, and your Solar Titan Physique has advanced to the second level. That's quite swift.""Sir, based on your assessment, at which stage of the Solar Titan Physique do you think I can achieve the ultimate rank?" "You'll need to reach at least the fourth or fifth stage." "Then, sir, do you have any idea where a heavenly flame might be found?"Logan let out a frosty laugh. "You're attempting to deceive me into providing information. That's not happening. But if you manage to master the Heaven-Earth Incarnation technique within a month, I'll acknowledge your exceptional talent and offer you a hint about a heavenly flame.""Seriously?" "I don't lie." "Sir, could you offer some guidance? I have a vague sense of it, but s
