Chapter 611: A One-sided Situation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The enemy has already mobilized all their forces. Let’s go all out! Dragons, leave your compatriots to yourselves.”
Watson’s eyes were ice-cold as he clapped his hands. His voice spread far and wide with his combat aura.
Frigga had not only attacked his two masters but also his subordinates. That made his killing intent toward Frigga increase continuously. He hated people who hurt his family and friends. At that moment, Frigga had crossed the line repeatedly.
“Yes, Dragon Emperor.”
The Dragon Kings in the sky agreed and flew toward the Winter Nation’s army. Among them were Odyssey, Fafnir, and Nidhogg. Their expressions were hideous. They knew that someone controlled their fellow dragons. That was why they would fight against the Blackmoon Knights.
That person had dared to control the dragons and attack their most respected Dragon Emperor—they must have wanted to court death.
Then, giant dragons appeared among the shining stars in the sky. There were as many as a million of them. Those dragons came from various dragon lairs, and Fafnir’s nest was huge. After all, Watson had developed a diamond-tier breeding potion for them.
“Dark Dragon King, you’re controlled by the Winter Nation. You’re a disgrace to our race.”

The first to arrive was the Light Dragon King, Odyssey. He was not on good terms with the Dark Dragon King. he laughed when he realized that the Winter Nation controlled the Dark Dragon King.
They laughed at him, but his movements were not slow. The wings on his back expanded, and his body grew, turning into a light dragon with a body comparable to the sun. He collided with the Dark Dragon God.
“Cut the crap, Odyssey. Hurry up and remove the chains around my body. If you can’t do it, it’ll be too embarrassing for you.”
The Dark Dragon King opened his mouth and snorted coldly. He raised his massive claws and grabbed the neck of the divine dragon that Odyssey had transformed into. The two giant dragons rolled around where the Winter Nation’s army was. Whenever its body passed, the Winter Nation soldiers turned into bloody mist and meat paste, just like ants that had been trampled to death.
The Winter Nation soldiers, who had been excited and felt like there was some hope in the battle, revealed expressions like they had lost their loved ones.
The Dark Dragon King did not kill as many Blackmoon Knights as Winter Nation soldiers. When the Dark Dragon King and the Light Dragon King were entangled, the other dragons followed suit. One after another, they found the controlled dragons and dealt with them.
The dragons were like huge meat grinders, devouring the Winter Nation soldiers. Thanks to Watson, the Holy Dragon Kingdom had merged into the Kingdom of Kings, making the space infinite. Otherwise, the bodies of those huge dragons could fill up the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom.
The Winter Nation had lost more than half of their troops in just a few short minutes. Empress Gustav could no longer stand it. She stood up, raised the scepter in her hand, and said, “If this goes on, we will be annihilated. In the name of Empress Gustav, I call upon our ancient ancestors, the gods of ice and snow giants, to grant us protection.”
The ground beneath the Winter Nation army shattered. A layer of sky-blue cold current gushed out from the ground and blew in all directions. Wherever it passed, the ground froze into the shape of a glacier. At some point in time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. It seemed like the world was about to return to the ice age.
In the midst of the cold, a crystal clear arm extended from the ground. The arm was made entirely of ice crystals. The five fingers on the arm were five icebergs. The huge ice arm gripped the ground fiercely and pulled it into pieces. Then, the arm extended higher, and the entire body extended out of the ground.
It was hard to describe how massive the body was. Its entire body was made of ten-thousand-year-old solid ice as if the chill that would turn the earth back into an ice age came from its body. There were no facial features or gender-distinguishing features on its face, only a towering body that reached into the clouds and a terrifying aura that was full of intimidation.
Most of the kingdoms that could survive for hundreds of years were well-established. Just like the Holy Dragon Kingdom that had the protection of the Primordial Demoness and the seven gods in the past, the Winter Nation also had the god’s protection. The god that protected them was the giant creature in front of them—the God of the Snow Giants.
The humans in the Winter Nation were not simple. A part of the giant’s bloodline flowed through their bodies. Harold, who had been sent to the Holy Dragon Kingdom to participate in the exhibition competition, was a genius who possessed the bloodline of the snow giant.
“The Winter Nation army can’t fight against those black-armored soldiers and the dragons. So what if the god is here?”

Empress Gustiano muttered to herself; the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
With the god’s help, the Winter Nation would definitely be able to turn the tide of the battle. After she summoned the God of the Snow Giants, the god opened his giant palm of ice. She picked up the Dark Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, who were rolling around on the ground, and threw them out.
If she could throw out such a huge and powerful creature like the Dark Dragon King, would it not be easy to deal with a mere Blackmoon Knight?
With that thought in mind, Empress Gustav stretched the scepter in front of her. “Go, God of the Snow Giants. Let those people see how powerful you are. Let them understand the glory of ice and snow—”
Crack!
Before she could finish her words, a violent cracking sound came from above her head. She raised her head in surprise and looked up at the God of the Snow Giants, who was thousands of meters high above her head. At that moment, a thick and long crack appeared on her neck, and the crack spread to her entire body.
A man in clown makeup stood on the God of the Snow Giants’ neck and talked to himself, “The Dragon Emperor built that kingdom. In other words, it is my property belonging to the Dragon Clan! Why did you appear and change the terrain? That is a violation of my rights and interests. Do you want to die?”
Even though he did not seem to use any strength, the clown-like man had an irresistible force under his feet, stomping on the God of the Snow Giants’ body.
“That is impossible!”
Empress Gustav’s face was filled with shock.
The God of the Snow Giants was the ancestor of the ice giants, a powerful starlight-tier existence. Its body was entirely made up of ice elements. Even if it was destroyed, it could quickly reassemble and control the ice elements in the world. However, at that moment, she could feel the trembles coming from the God of the Snow Giant’s body as if it was terrified of the man standing above its head.
Who was the man who could make a starlight-tier ancient giant feel fear?
“I’m talking to you. It’s polite to respond when others are speaking to you. Are you ignoring me?”
The clown-like man was still nagging. He reached out his hand and pressed it on the God of the Snow Giants’ head.
A blazing planet, glowing with light, appeared in the man’s hand. It spun and grew larger. That was an actual planet. It crushed the God of the Snow Giants’ head the moment it appeared. Then, the planet expanded, and its body collapsed, leaving a massive crater on the ground. The Winter Nation soldiers in the crater had evaporated.
They gulped.
The snowflakes in the sky were still falling. The God of the Snow Giants had already disappeared without a trace. The Winter Nation soldiers stared blankly at everything in front of them; they looked like they were in despair.
The God of the Snow Giants was their totem and their guardian god.. If the man could destroy the god easily, then it must be very easy for the man to destroy them.

Just as the soldiers of the Winter Nation fell into despair, something even more desperate happened not far away. The Dark Dragon King, who was fighting with the Light Dragon King, took the opportunity to untie the chains around his body. He looked at them with hatred in his eyes.
“You lowly humans, how dare you enslave me to attack the Dragon Emperor? You deserve to die!”
The Dark Dragon King opened his mouth, and darkness covered the sky. The soldiers from the Winter Nation clutched their throats in pain and fell to the ground, green smoke rising from their bodies. Then, the bodies vaporized and disappeared.
The Winter Nation troops had been reduced to less than 500,000 after the battle. Then, after the Dark Dragon King’s attack, fewer than 300,000 soldiers were left.
The remaining soldiers had lost the confidence to fight. The timid ones even threw away the weapons in their hands and started to retreat.
Empress Gustav cast a pleading look at Frigga, who was in the air. At that point, she did not have any good ideas.
“It’s as I expected. The Winter Nation may seem mighty, but in reality, they don’t have much combat strength! I’m very disappointed with your performance, so let me increase your strength.”

“Supernatural evolution power, restrictions removed!”
The light of the elven race chess pieces in Frigga’s hands grew stronger and stronger, shining on the Winter Nation’s soldiers. Those who had already evolved once evolved again, and lumps of flesh grew on their bodies. Their bodies exploded and turned into minced meat on the ground. They fused into a colossal wriggling ball of blood, which looked disgusting.
Even Empress Gustav was no exception. Her body swelled and became ugly, which made her look terrified. “No, Frigga, you can’t do this to me! We agreed that as long as I help you achieve your wish, you’ll take me to live with you in the future. ”
“I did say that, but I haven’t succeeded yet, have I? After I achieve my wish, I will definitely resurrect you and fulfill your wish. Before that, you can contribute your strength to me. ”
Empress Gustav cried and shouted, “No!” Blood rained from the explosion of her body merged into the blood ball in the air.
[Supernatural evolution product: God Slayer’s Blood]
[Effect: blood that has evolved to the extreme and has the ability to kill gods.]
After Frigga created the blood ball monster, the relevant information appeared in Watson’s eyes.
“You even harmed your own teammate. Isn’t that too cruel? Are you still human?” Even though he knew that Frigga was a cruel person, it was still a shock seeing her kill Empress Gustav without changing her expression. It looked like she had turned into a monster.
“Cruel? Watson, that wasn’t cruel. That was rational use of power. Compared to me, your method of using power was too childish! If I had the power in your body, I would have fused everyone in the world to become an incomparably powerful existence. All the resources in the world would also be under my control. At that time, not to mention the world, even the gods would have to fear me. I would be above all gods.”
Frigga opened her arms and laughed maniacally in a high-pitched voice.
“You’re so pitiful.”
Facing the hysterical Frigga, Watson did not feel angry. Instead, pity appeared in his eyes. He could understand Frigga’s thoughts. If she obtained the fusion system, she would fuse everything within her sight until she became the strongest person in the world. Doing so could indeed maximize the use of the system’s abilities, but it was also very lonely.

Fusing everything around her, she was destined to lose her family, friends, and loved ones. If there was no one around her, she would not even have someone to talk to, then what was the point of having a life, even if she became the strongest?
Watson sighed and walked toward Frigga. He wanted to take care of Frigga personally. He could not let her escape.
Frigga waved her hand. The God Slayer’s Blood that she had just extracted from the Winter Nation’s soldiers immediately flew toward Watson. The surging blood contained a strong killing intent; it wanted to wrap Watson within it.
“Molecular deceleration.”
Before the blood touched Watson, Nia’s voice came from the sky. Twelve wings spread out from infinite wings wrapped around the blood ball. From the outermost layer, a layer of solid ice covered the blood ball. Watson turned around and nodded to Nia. He did not stop walking.
“Petrifying eyes!”
The second person to stop Watson was the Primordial Demoness, standing beside Frigga. The scarlet eyes on her body opened, and rays with petrifying functions appeared in the air. They interwoven into a dense network and enveloped Watson’s body. Just as the petrifying rays were about to touch Watson’s body, a few beautiful girls in maid attire flew out of the Blackmoon Castle. They opened their hands and deflected the petrifying rays.
“Money enhancement!”
“Invisible hand!”
The maids were the Demoness Bandit Gang leaders that Watson had subdued at the border. Previously, Watson had sent Lust to the planetary fortress to be the boss of the Everything House. However, not all the higher-ups of the bandit gang had been sent out by him. There were still some who remained in Blackmoon Castle. At that moment, those diamond-tier maids flew to the sky. Their bodies emitted a strong aura of desire; they confronted the Primordial Demoness.
As the Primordial Demoness’ former believers, no one understood her ability better than them.
“Aren’t you all my former believers? Are you going to resist me?”
The Primordial Demoness swept her gaze across Greed, Gluttony, and the others who had tried to stop her. Her heads let out a mocking laugh. “Don’t forget who gave you your ability. You want to use the power that I gave you against me? You’re overestimating yourselves! Give up your resistance. As long as you give up and believe in me again, I can reestablish the Demoness Church and make you all the new saintesses of the church.”
The Primordial Demoness’s words were seductive, like the whisper of a devil. It made people subconsciously want to agree, but Lady Greed, Gluttony, and the others who stood in front of her were unmoved.
“The Primordial Demoness said that she wants us to believe in her again, and she also wants us to be saintesses. What do you think?” Greed tossed a coin in her hand, the corners of her mouth raised, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Is it better to believe in the Primordial Demoness than to believe in Young Master Watson? Can she let us live a life where we don’t have to do anything every day, and we can get food, clothes, and even treasures just by moving our fingers? I haven’t finished reading Miss Margaret’s latest novel yet. Let’s hurry up and get rid of that guy and go back to reading.” The higher-ups of the Bandit Gang frowned coldly, their bodies gradually expanding as they spoke. They had used Fury’s ability, Goliath.
“I’m so sleepy... I want to sleep. ” Gluttony was not far away from her, lazily lying on the soft pillow. There was snot in her nose as she stretched lazily.. She did not even open her eyes.
Chapter 613: The Archdukes’ Betrayal

The Primordial Demoness’s expression turned ugly.
“It seems like everyone has the same thoughts as me.” Greed grabbed the coins in her hands and released her unique ability, Money Amplification. A layer of glorious golden light enveloped them.
Money Amplification could use the power of money to increase the strength of others. The more gold coins were used, the greater the increase. As Mount Creation’s maids, they had already obtained unimaginable wealth in the few years they had lived there by using the Wish for the World ring to travel the world. At that moment, after using all their wealth, their strength had risen to the peak of the diamond tier. They were also capable of fighting against the starlight-tier Primordial Demoness.
“Young Master Watson, leave this place to us. Go!”
Watson nodded and did not say anything else. He knew that that was a matter between the Demoness Bandit Gang and the Primordial Demoness. The Primordial Demoness had not aided in the abolition of the Demoness Church. When they became bandits, the Primordial Demoness did not protect them either.
The one who had given them warmth and home was Watson. The Primordial Demoness had appeared again when he needed their help. What did the Primordial Demoness do for them back then?

No matter what the Primordial Demoness said, they would not listen to her. The faith they had in the past had long died. At that moment, they only had one faith, and that was in Watson.
“Do you think you can stop me?”
The four heads of the Primordial Demoness rotated in turn. Her face was full of contempt. She knew the abilities of those bandits, and she was stronger than those people.
As she spoke, the Primordial Demoness’s body expanded. From a hundred meters, she became a thousand-meter-long giant. Around her scarlet eyes, transparent arms appeared. Those were the invisible arms of laziness. They had the effect of making those who were caught faint. At that moment, the number of invisible arms around her was no less than 10,000. They were densely packed and floating in the air, distorting the air.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if those invisible arms were used simultaneously, they could even lift Mount Creation.
The maids’ expressions changed as they faced the powerful Primordial Demoness. They were not confident that they could withstand such a powerful attack.
“They might not be enough. What about me?”
A cold voice came from the air. Nia, who had just frozen the God Slayer’s Blood, flapped her twelve wings gently and went before the Primordial Demoness. Nia, the King of Angels, also had a solemn expression on her face.
On the other hand, the elves, who had been endlessly transformed by Frigga’s supernatural power and had become giant monsters like the World Tree, also began to move at that moment. Thick branches extended out from their trembling bodies, and they began to move toward Watson. Some of the branches even bloomed with beautiful flowers. Colorful pollen fluttered in the wind. The pollen contained lethal poison—the grass on the ground would wither, and the rivers would dry up.
Many of the Blackmoon Knights had accidentally absorbed the pollen, and their bodies quickly turned into puddles of blood. Fortunately, they had eternal life, so they could be resurrected after their death.
Just as the giant monster was about to arrive in front of Watson, Nidhogg, who had just crushed the God of Snow Giants, appeared above the head of the beast with a hesitant look.
“You can’t participate in the battle against the Dragon Emperor. Your opponent is me.”
Tentacles made of tree branches and vines flew out of the body of the elven monster, trying to entangle Nidhogg. However, Nidhogg dodged it easily with just a few flashes. Instead, he muttered, “The elves who had already left the appearance of the tree spirits did not expect to return to the appearance of the ancient tree spirits. In the distant past, I’ve lived many similar existences. I don’t know how many years it’s been since I’ve experienced that. It looks like I’ll be able to experience it again today.”

Spreading his wings, Nidhogg transformed into a massive dragon with starlight wrapped around its body. It opened its huge mouth full of fangs and bit the monster. Painful wails accompanied the dark green liquid as it bit into the elf monster. Nidhogg lifted the world-tree-like body into the air.
Once upon a time, there was a ferocious dragon in the world, famous for gnawing on world trees. That evil dragon was called Nidhogg. At that moment, the scene of it soaring into the sky could be seen clearly in the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Kings. Many people were shocked.
At the capital of the former Holy Dragon Kingdom...
“The war has begun. That child is good at everything, but he is too stubborn. He must get what he wants. Otherwise, he would rather destroy it. I wonder who will win this war.”
The old king stood in the Sword Saint’s courtyard. In front of him, Christina held a long sword and pointed it at him angrily. “What happened? Where are my father and Master Antonio? ”
Some time had passed since Antonio and Reid were schemed against by Frigga. After learning about that, Christina no longer wanted to act with the old king. She chose to show her cards. She knew that her father and Antonio’s disappearance must have something to do with King Landhar III. She did not know if the old king was involved.
It was not just Christina. The other disciples in the Sword Saint’s courtyard were also there. They pointed their longswords at the old king. Their eyes were filled with sorrow.
“They are currently sleeping in a quiet place. If Watson can win the fight, they might have a chance to survive. Otherwise... By the way, don’t point your swords at me. I am already an old man. When I see so many weapons, I will be very nervous. When I am nervous, I will easily do something impulsive.”
Laughing, the old king took a step forward. His stooped body straightened as his feet touched the ground. With a boom, a hole was blasted in the ground, and a powerful aura at the peak of the diamond tier spread out in all directions. Other than Christina, the other Sword Saint’s disciples all took a few steps back with disbelief on their faces.
At that moment, the battle strength displayed by the old king was even more powerful than the Sword Saint Reid.
“I’ve been in prison for too long. Fortunately, my strength hasn’t deteriorated.” The old king stretched his muscles and bones. At that moment, his eyes turned from turbid to bright and full of color, and his figure also became much taller. He clapped his hands as he spoke.
Clap!
Clap!
“Your Majesty, the Campbell family, has come to rescue you. Watson had placed you under house arrest here; we’ve let you suffer during all this time.”
The head of the Campbell family, Armand Campbell, led many elite members to the courtyard. He knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully to the old king.
Behind him, the head of the Ptolemy family, Daniel, was also there. He knelt on one knee and said, “Your Majesty, the Ptolemy family has been waiting here for a long time.. We are ready to welcome Your Majesty’s release.”
Chapter 614: Capturing The Sword Saint Family
“Hey, you! What are you trying to do? Do you want to make enemies with the Sword Saint family? Both of your families had dealings with Watson. Are you trying to betray us?”
Christina watched everything in front of her as her expression changed.
She saw Augustus’ figure in the Campbell family and Lana and Casey. At that moment, Casey was shouting toward the Ptolemy family.
“Father, are you planning to take advantage of the time when Watson is fighting with His Majesty to join hands with the late king to uproot Watson’s influence in the capital? I advise you not to do that. Watson is a monster. Even if His Majesty gathers the power of the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation, they might not be able to defeat him. He might even destroy those two kingdoms. He will become even stronger. Father, listen to my advice. Let’s stop.”
“Shut up!”
He stood up, turned around, and gave Casey a hard slap. Daniel’s face was full of anger, and he looked like he hated the fact that his son had failed to live up to his expectations.
“How did I have such a useless son like you? How can you say such words in front of the late king? Are you courting death?”
He also understood that Watson was mighty. After all, Watson had planned to make a deal with him to sell him the diamond-tier Dragon Transformation Potion. He could resist the temptation of the Dragon Transformation Potion by choosing to join hands with King Landhar III. He had weighed the pros and cons for a long time.
Previously, he and Casey had some disagreements with Watson. If Watson were to become the future king, the Ptolemy family would have to act according to Watson’s wishes. On the contrary, if King Landhar III were to win, he would revoke Watson’s title. When that time came, the Ptolemy family would have rendered meritorious service in protecting the kingdom in times of crisis, and they could take it one step further.

“I remember a similar incident happened more than ten years ago in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. At that time, the kingdom had put out an all-out arrest warrant for the Primordial Demoness’s followers, exterminating the Demoness Church! At that time, the Demoness Church’s influence was not inferior to Watson’s today. It was also spread throughout the entire kingdom and was deeply ingrained in the people’s hearts. Didn’t His Majesty King Landhar III still remove it? I wonder if this is a similar situation.”
Daniel’s eyes flickered. As the head of one of the three Archdukes’ families, he was very good at judging the situation and taking sides. In his opinion, Watson’s chances of winning that battle were not high.
Armand thought the same too. After the old king raised his hand to signal for him to stand up, Armand stood up and said, “Augustus, as long as we capture those people, even if Watson wins, we will have no choice but to surrender, right? After we get rid of Watson, you’ll still be the strongest genius in the kingdom.”
“The title of the strongest genius is no longer important to me. As long as there’s a chance to defeat Watson, I’m okay with it.”
Augustus shrugged, his fiery red hair swaying in the air. As he said that, he looked at Christina and said, “Miss Christina, you’re not my match. You’d better surrender obediently. Otherwise, it won’t be good if I hurt you later.”
“There’s no such thing as surrendering in the Sword Saint family. Previously, you relied on the power of the holy relic to defeat me. I wonder if you’d still be my match after being resurrected by Watson.”
Christina strode forward with a determined expression, extending her hand to block the Sword Saint’s disciples behind her. Above her head, a giant earthen-yellow dragon fell from the sky. On the dragon’s back stood numerous sharp spikes in the shape of a giant sword, accompanied by a deafening dragon’s cry. That dragon was the companion she had obtained in the Dragon Lair—the diamond-tier Sword King Mountain Dragon.
As the dragon descended, Christina raised her right hand and lightly shouted, “Dragon fusion.”
With a soft sound, the Sword King Mountain Dragon turned into a ray of light and coiled around her body, causing her yellow hair to glow with a golden light. As it fluttered in the wind, her pupils became vertical, and a thick layer of rock armor appeared on her body. Even her cheeks were covered with traces of the armor. In her right hand, a giant sword as thick as a door was propped on the ground.
That huge sword was covered with barbs and looked like the dragon’s tail. After performing the Dragon Fusion, Christina’s aura was much stronger too. She slashed her sword in the direction of Augustus.
“Infinite Kingdom of Swords!”
As the sword fell, tens of thousands of blades appeared. Tens of thousands of sword kingdoms with colorful lights appeared before her. They crashed in all directions like waves. That powerful force shattered the Sword Saint’s courtyard. The ground was also plowed into a crisscrossed abyss.
She recently developed that move. Her talent might not be as good as Watson’s or her father’s, but she could definitely be called a genius in sword technique. The Infinite Kingdom of Swords used the power of the Kingdom of Swords one after another, and it would not stop until it was exhausted. Even a god might not be able to withstand the bombardment of sword techniques.

Her best sword technique was the Infinite Sword Slash. At that moment, she fused that sword technique with the Kingdom of the Sword, creating an unprecedented path. That was a sword technique that belonged solely to her.
At that moment, in the Sword Saint’s courtyard, to protect her senior and junior brothers behind her, she chose to let her strongest sword technique bloom in the world.
The sound of explosions rang out continuously in front of her. The Ptolemy and Campbell family members, who had been planning to capture her and force Watson to submit, ran out like stray dogs at that moment.
“See, Father, I told you Watson was a monster. After staying by his side for a long time, even Miss Christina has become a monster.”
“Shut up!”
The conversation between Daniel and Casey could be vaguely heard.
“Augustus, protect His Majesty. No, His Majesty is very powerful. You should come over and protect me.”
It seemed to be Armand’s exclamation.
Immediately after, the layers of the divine Kingdom of the Sword shattered. Augustus’ entire body was covered in green flames as he came out of the divine kingdom. Those were the flames of life. The ground that he had burned came alive one after another. He transformed into stone giants that were at least platinum-tier and lifted the people from the two families. Augustus was like the God of War.
The divine Kingdom of the Sword that Christina released crushed his body, turning his body into a bloody mess. Under the exposed flesh and blood, there were holy relics with a metallic luster.
“It’s a diamond-tier holy relic? You’ve been modified again?” Christina’s pupils constricted, and she could not help but exclaim in surprise. Usually, Augustus would not be her match after being revived by Watson. However, Augustus had fused with many holy relics and transformed into something else. The situation was different.
Bearing the attack of the Kingdom of the Sword, Augustus came in front of Christina and punched her. Blood seeped from the corner of Christina’s lips. She took a few steps back, and the dragon that covered her body bounced out. The dragonification was dispelled.
“Watson should not have resurrected you.” Christina forcefully straightened her body with her giant sword to support herself. Even at the last moment, she was unwilling to admit defeat. If the Sword Saint family members wanted to die, they would want to die on the battlefield.
“The Power of Death!”
A pitch-black fog appeared on Christina’s body. That fog came from the death-elemental magic source. Christina had not gone all out against the person in front of her. She had changed her mind. The fastest way to kill a person was through the Power of Death.
“Yes, Watson shouldn’t have resurrected me at all. That way, I won’t have a lot of trouble now.” Augustus turned a blind eye to the Power of Death on Christina’s body and sighed. With his back facing the two families, he raised his right hand. Deep darkness that also symbolized death flashed in his palm. “As for you, you should sleep for a while.”
Chapter 615: Just Icing On The Cake
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Where are the people from the Saint Laurent Family? Didn’t they come?”
The old king reached out to sweep the dust on his body. He asked when he saw Augustus carrying Christina, who had fainted.
At that moment, Christina and the other Sword Saint disciples in the courtyard had been knocked unconscious and bound with ropes. Even the maids and guards outside the courtyard were not spared.
After completing the mission, Armand gave Augustus a look of approval and then said, “The Saint Laurent family did not come. In my opinion, they might be from Watson’s faction.”
When he brought Augustus to the Sword Saint’s courtyard, Augustus proposed a new modification. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break through the Sword Saint’s courtyard’s defensive line. According to Augustus, anyone who believed in Watson would receive a gift from Watson. As Watson’s strength became stronger, those believers would also become stronger. That was not a secret in the royal city.
After all, the royal city did not have the protection of the seven gods. The church believed in Watson. Even though Armand did not believe in Watson, according to the informants he planted in the church, Watson could become stronger. According to Augustus, Watson’s strength had become stronger in the past few days. He had even created several new sources of power. As someone close to him, Christina must also have obtained such power. It would not be easy to win if they fought normally.
Armand did not know how Augustus had gotten the news. He did not think too much about it. As long as the result was good, it was fine. It did not matter what the process was.
“The Saint Laurent family did not come, but they joined Watson. Don’t they know that the royal family has always been the same since the kingdom’s founding? Watson is an outsider. What qualifications does he have to become the next king? They are betraying the kingdom and the royal family. Well, since they want to be with Watson, then let them die together.”
The old king sneered and waved his hand in a domineering manner before walking out. “Follow me to the Saint Laurent family. I want to see how bold those people are.”

...
At the Saint Laurent family...
“Grandmother, let’s send our soldiers to help the old king attack the Sword Saint’s courtyard and capture those who are related to Watson.”
The head of the Saint Laurent family was sitting on a bench while a group of family members was kneeling in front of her. Everyone looked anxious.
“I heard that the Ptolemy and Campbell families have sent troops to the Sword Saint’s courtyard, and their family head personally led them there. Now, all that’s left is the Saint Laurent family.”
“The current situation is very similar to when His Majesty destroyed the Demoness Church more than ten years ago. If we don’t send troops now, we will definitely be hated in the future. There is a high possibility that the three archduke families will become two! Besides, we don’t need to help Watson at all. Watson has never cared about the Saint Laurent family. He is also the child of the traitor that Grandmother chased out. What does his situation have to do with us?”
The people in front of her kept asking for her opinion. The head of the Saint Laurent family narrowed her eyes and remained silent. She understood what those people were saying, but it was probably because she was old. She did not feel anything when she expelled Watson’s father, Edward, from the family. However, when she saw her grandson, Watson, ostracized by the family and regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the royal family of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart.
“All of you, be quiet!”
Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened her mouth, intimidating the members of the Saint Laurent family who were still complaining.
“In my opinion, this is a good opportunity for us to ease our relationship with Watson. In the past, he has always been biased against our family because of Edward’s matter. However, this time, we are on his side. Furthermore, Watson has our bloodline in his body. I believe that he will forgive us once he finds out about that. Perhaps he might even have a chance to acknowledge us as his family.”
“Grandmother, at this time, what’s the point of making him acknowledge us as his family? I heard that his two masters, Antonio and Reid, are currently in an unknown state. Our family probably won’t be any better off with him,” a few young juniors grumbled unhappily.
“Of course, it’s meaningful.”
The Saint Laurent family head slammed into her chair hard and widened her eyes.
“What’s the meaning of following the Ptolemy family and the Campbell family to attack the Sword Saint’s courtyard now? If the three families attack together, each family will receive a reward. The balance of power between the three Archduke families will not be broken. It’s the same effect as not attacking. If we help Watson, the effect will be completely different. Either His Majesty wins, and the three Archduke families become two, or Watson wins, and Saint Laurent becomes the dominant power in the kingdom.”
“The Saint Laurent family has been sitting in this position for a long time. It’s time to take a gamble! If we continue to maintain the current situation, the Saint Laurent family will continue to decline. The royal family doesn’t allow other bloodlines to be the king. Even if our family has a Child of God now, can we guarantee that we’ll always have a Child of God in our family? Furthermore, that Child of God is also on Watson’s side.”

In the end, it was better to choose Watson. If Watson won, the Saint Laurent family would reap a huge harvest. On the contrary, choosing King Landhar III would be the icing on the cake. The probability of winning was high, but the Saint Laurent family would not feel any pain after winning.
Although the Saint Laurent family head was a woman, her decisiveness and foresight surpassed a man’s. After saying that, all her clansmen looked at each other and did not complain.
After a moment of silence, a man spoke first. “That makes sense. No matter what happens to Watson, Nia is by Watson’s side. I want to protect Nia. I support my mother’s decision.”
“Hmm, Nia is the reincarnation of a god. Do you really think you’re her father? If Nia wasn’t on Watson’s side, we wouldn’t have to be so conflicted. We should break things off with Watson.” Someone grumbled unhappily, causing Nia’s father to be furious.
“What are you talking about? I think you’re just jealous that I have such an outstanding daughter.”
The head of the Saint Laurent family frowned. Those people were still arguing over those unimportant matters. Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop them, a disciple rushed in from outside.
“Something terrible has happened, Master. There are many troops outside. Ptolemy, the head of the Campbell family, is leading them. I also saw the old king. They are rushing toward us as if they wanted to attack us.”
“They’re already here? I didn’t expect them to come so quickly.” The Saint Laurent family head stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked outside with her crutches. “Let’s welcome those distinguished guests.”

On another street in the royal city...
“Mother, I heard that Watson is currently fighting with Father. Even our grandfather, the old king, was released from prison to help Father destroy Watson’s forces. ”
Not far from the street was an ordinary courtyard. A young man stood at the entrance and looked outside. He saw the large army passing by and the residents fleeing in panic down the street.
There were two young men and a middle-aged woman in the courtyard too. The middle-aged woman was holding a needle and thread in her hands and was spinning something. After hearing the young man’s words, she put down the things in her hands and rubbed her sore eyes. “Yes, that is already their second duel. I wonder who will win this time?”
With a twinkle in his eyes, the young man said, “If only Father could win, then I would be the second prince again.”
“Second Brother, are you still dreaming of becoming a prince?” An older young man behind him said, “It’s about time for you to wake up. Father has no intention of passing the throne to us. He wants to be a king for the rest of his life. In order to stabilize his position, he can abandon us at any time.”
“I didn’t say that I wanted to be a king. It’s better for me to be a prince for the rest of my life than to live a normal life in a place like this, right?”
“Second Brother, don’t say too much. It’s not up to us to decide whether to be a prince or not. Furthermore, Kiana is crying in her room right now. What if you make her even sadder?”
Then, they kept quiet and looked worriedly at a room in the courtyard. After learning that King Landhar III and Watson were fighting again, Kiana had locked herself in her room.. No one knew how she was doing then.
