The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"Tsk."

It seemed that Leon had hit a nerve, but Eric was unwilling to admit it, so he could only click his tongue in disdain.

"It is said that the world's most powerful divine weapon, Heavenly Punishment, is also sealed in the underground palace."

Eric changed the subject.

"Yes, that's strange. Why can't I sense its presence?"

Leon was puzzled. He remembered that when he watched the anime, he felt extremely uneasy when he first entered the underground palace. This unease came from the oppressive feeling of that super divine weapon.

But even though I've been inside with Eric for so long, I haven't felt anything at all.

Could it be that,

Has the divine punishment left the underground palace?

No way!

Why has the plot suddenly become so abstract?!

In the original series, Caesar went mad because he used the Divine Retribution and was corrupted by it.

And now, Caesar is the first.

In other words, this life can no longer be considered a life; He is now a madman, a mad archangel king!

Chapter nine

Following his memories of the original series, Leon quickly located the core of the seal on the Heavenly Punishment.

This is a huge depression, in the center of which a bright six-pointed star magic circle totem can be seen.

It is said that this magic circle was created a thousand years ago by the empire before the Fester Empire, at the beginning of its founding, by sacrificing all the great sages of that time.

The term "Great Sage" is a collective term for the unparalleled level of professions such as mages, alchemists, and diviners.

Of course, that was a thousand years ago. Now, spiritual energy is increasingly depleted. There are billions of living beings in the world, and the total number of angels is less than one hundred. Among them, humans account for more than thirty, dragons account for more than twenty, and the rest are other races.

On the human side, angels are mainly concentrated in the Fchester Empire, and then in the small island nation in the west.

Therefore, angel resources are currently very limited. If divine punishment gets out of control, we won't be able to spare the resources to seal it off like we did a thousand years ago.

This is one of the reasons why divine retribution cannot be used casually.

Now, in the center of the six-pointed star array, only an empty scabbard remains. The national sword of the strongest empire in human history, which was usually used only for deterrence, has been taken away.

"Is he your emperor?"

Eric looked at Leon.

"Besides him, who else could secretly activate this world-destroying thing?"

Leon replied, “I think he, no, he is the Archangel King, because it is Him, I think He is now holding the Divine Wrath, ready to kill your fiancé.”

"What does this have to do with me? I'd rather they were all dead."

Eric's expression was indifferent.

"But if the Dragon Emperor is gone, the dragon race's situation may become even worse. The powerful races that fear dragons will unite and drive the dragons out of the ice plains. At that time, the dragons will only be able to hide under the ice ocean, and they won't even be able to come up to land."

Leon continued.

"I have no feelings for dragons. Dragons are cold-blooded animals and can abandon everything for their own benefit."

Erik replied, "Me too, I can't understand what you humans call love."

"Love..."

Leon paused for a moment, then said, "I think I can understand."

"for example?"

"For example, when you are willing to give unconditionally to someone, that is love."

Leon answered without hesitation.

To give unconditionally to someone?

In the world,

How could such a stupid person exist?

As a cold-blooded dragon,

Eric said he couldn't understand it.

Maybe there are people that stupid.

But there could never be a dragon that stupid!

"Activating the Heavenly Punishment requires the sacrifice of a massive amount of life force."

Eric changed the subject.

How do you know that?

"They knew this five thousand years ago."

"Ah... I forgot you're an old monster who's lived for nearly ten thousand years."

"..."

This meant that Leon was referring to himself as an "old hag," and although Eric was slightly displeased, he didn't refute it.

Just when Leon thought she wouldn't care, she suddenly gave an arrogant snort, "That's because you humans have short lifespans."

what……

Now it was Leon's turn to fall silent.

"Then where do you think so much life force was sacrificed in this lifetime? I remember every time the divine punishment appeared, there were records of millions of corpses lying in the ground."

Eric steered the conversation back on track.

"Orcs, perhaps that's why Caesar wished to destroy the orc kingdom."

Leon replied, "In the war against the Orcs, apart from the beautiful female Orcs who ended up in the slave market, the whereabouts of all the other Orc prisoners of war are unknown."

"They should all be dead by now, all sacrificed."

Leon said this with a heavy heart.

The Fichster Empire, in the far north.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Naden gradually regained consciousness as he was called out to.

Then he found himself back in the Northern Navy tent.

The one who had just called him was "Faceless," who was standing right in front of him.

Faceless was covered in a foul-smelling, corrosive green acid, as if he had just been through a fierce battle; his aura was extremely weak.

"How is this going?"

Naden was very puzzled.

"You've been controlled by the dragons and given them the travel documents. Now Guberlan is in chaos."

No response provided.

"This……"

Naden tried to think it over, but then he felt a sharp pain in his head.

But the more pain he felt, the more he wanted to think about it.

quickly,

He then remembered what he had been through.

That day on the mysterious Queen's Island, after subduing the Crane Queen, that damned dragon messenger suddenly ambushed Gonzalez, then wiped out his own knight guard, and then... and then Naden really couldn't remember.

"Where is Gangsares?"

"Nedden asked."

"I don't know. I sneaked in quietly, then realized something was wrong. After finding out the reason, I took the opportunity to kill the dragon next to you."

The faceless one replied.

"Then?"

"Nedden asked."

"Then, by using your method of guiding qi, I helped you recover."

No response provided.

"There's this kind of magic?"

"Yes, this is the magic that my mentor was most proud of during his lifetime, and he passed it on to me."

No response provided.

Faceless's specialty is theft. He is a thief, and as a master thief, stealing what's in your pocket is child's play for him. He can also steal your memories, your appearance, your identity, and even your destiny, which includes good luck and lifespan.

"That dragon clan envoy was a high-level king-level expert with strength comparable to yours, and you killed him so easily?"

"Nedden asked."

“Yes, Your Highness, his body is outside. I stole three seconds of Seth’s peak power and killed that dragon with a single sword strike.”

No explanation provided.

Thieves can readily utilize the resources of their acquaintances.

Faceless, Seth, and Hawkeye—before they became the three heroes of the Empire, they all studied together in the Imperial Palace. Although their mentors were different, as the most outstanding among the younger generation, they were naturally familiar with each other.

This is similar to the current relationship between Leon, Arthur, and Hebrew; they may not have a very good relationship, but they are definitely very familiar with each other.

However, what Naden and the others didn't know was that of the three heroes, only Leon remained.

Hebrews and Arthur both died at the hands of Helena.

"Where is the Crane King?"

Naden sat up from the bed and finally began to change into his military uniform.

The Imperial Navy's commander-in-chief's uniform was dark blue, with white sideburns on the shoulders, and a matching trench coat. The white phoenix coat of arms of Fitcher was embroidered on the half-high military cap with a short duckbill tip.

"The Crane King is dead. You have ordered his execution."

The faceless one replied, "But a king-level being isn't so easy to kill. If you have any questions, sir, I can go to the execution ground to communicate with spirits."

No response provided.

The execution ground was on the beach. Because prisoners were often executed here, even though it was washed by the waves every day, the gravel still had a dark red tinge from dried blood.

Soon after, Naden saw the spirit of the Crane King.

"Where are the rest of your tribe?"

"Nedden asked."

"There are no more people left, they're all dead... all dead."

The Crane King's soul trembled violently.

"Are they all dead?"

"It's Caesar! Caesar! He's so strong..."

From then on, the Crane King kept shouting "Caesar, Caesar, Caesar," making normal communication impossible.

What happened to my brother?

Naden sensed something was wrong.
