“Where am I? Did I die?”


  An elf who had fallen to the ground scratched his brow and gazed blankly at the damaged Mount Creation and the massive craters and fissures in the earth.

  Touching his body, the Elven King found that the elf chess was not on him, which made his expression change. What made his expression change even more was that the girl suspected to be King Landhar III was lying in the arms of a woman he was very familiar with.

  “Avril! You are Avril!”


  The Elven King’s eyes widened as he saw the familiar face he had not seen in almost ten years. He strolled over, unconcerned about the elven race chess piece.

  Unlike the Elven King, the other elves were at a loss for a time until recollections of what had just occurred flashed through their brains. That was what Watson had sent to them via the elven chess piece. At the same time, they felt enslaved, which caused their faces to turn ugly.

  “The humans took our chess piece, and now we are their slaves.” The wrinkles on the elven Elder’s face were all pressed together, and her tone was one of skepticism.

  “I would rather die than be a slave to the humans!” The more irritable Elder Landon snorted coldly.

  In his heart, the elves had always been a stronger race than humans. So what right did humans have to be served by the noble elves?

  “Elder Landon, even if you kill yourself today, it will make no difference. We would have died if it had not been for Watson’s assistance!” Pagani pressed the lens on his face, and he looked helpless. “To be a slave or to let the elves perish, I believe the former is preferable. Now that Watson has stolen the elven chess piece, we may be able to reclaim it in the future.”


  His words caused the elves to fall silent. Regardless of whether they agreed with Pagani’s words or not, they could not deny one thing. There was hope if they were alive.

  In the direction of the Winter Nation.

  “Frigga, the fact that I can be revived indicates that you have lost.”


  Empress Gustav was among the many soldiers who did not understand what was going on after being resurrected. Then, they cheered in surprise. She stared at the black figure in Avril’s arms not far away with a mournful expression.

  She had abandoned her, but Frigga still lost in the end. That made her feel very uncomfortable.

  Biting her lips, Empress Gustav also walked toward Frigga. She was not the former queen or someone who would remain by her side. It seemed like they were destined to stay apart in that lifetime. At the very least, she would be able to accompany Frigga to the end.

  …


  “Watson, I’m sorry we’re late.”


  A massive teleportation array emerged in the sky beside Watson. Sylvan exited the array. He groaned and closed his eyes as he stared at the severely injured King Landhar III and Avril, who was cradling him. It should be a very joyous thing to put an end to the quarrel that had been going on for many years. Unfortunately, he was unable to laugh.

  A group of white-haired ministers followed him. Those ministers were holding a couple of firmly bound princes in their hands. The first and third princes were deafeningly silent, while the second prince stared fiercely at Watson. “Let go of me! Are you going to defy me?” he shrieked.

  “Greetings, Young Master Watson. My name is Macrotov. I am the current representative of all the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s civil officials! This time, His Majesty had allied with the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation to invade our land for his own selfish interests. Fortunately, Young Master Watson, your strength is superior to others, so you managed to settle everything and save the people. King Landhar III can no longer continue to be our king. I want to support you as the new king, bringing new life to the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”


  “I think so too.”


  “Greetings to the future king.”


  After Macrotov, the other ministers also bowed to Watson. Many people were surprised when they saw the golden crown on Watson’s head and the Starlight Robe he was wearing. They felt that Watson was born with the bearing of a king. If Watson had not been crowned, it would not have been appropriate for them to kneel. Otherwise, they would have knelt and worshiped him.

  They had chosen Watson in the war between King Landhar III and him. They cheered in their choice when they knew Watson had won while simultaneously fantasizing about the glorious future of their lives.

  “Ministers, please rise. For the time being, I can’t be the king.”


  When Watson raised his hand, the ministers in front of him rose one by one. Macrotov said, perplexed, “Young Master Watson, what do you mean? Is there anyone else in the Holy Dragon Kingdom who is qualified to be king?”


  “Watson, it seems like you are aware of the situation,” the second prince said. He raised his neck toward the sky as if to say that he was qualified.

  No one paid any attention to the second prince. They just fixed their eyes on Watson.

  “Everyone, I am not yet capable of ascending to the throne yet. On the one hand, I have not been officially bestowed with the title of King. On the other hand, I aspire to be king of both the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Winter Nation.”


  Watson’s tone was calm, but his words were shocking.

  He was the monarch of the three kingdoms, not a single kingdom. How tyrannical was that? Watson did not even consult the Winter Nation or the Elven Kingdom. It was as though he was assured that none in the two kingdoms would dare to oppose him.

  “Your Majesty has extraordinary vision and insight. I admire you.” Macrotov’s beard trembled a few times, his face full of admiration. The ministers behind him were the same.

  In the crowd, only the second prince’s countenance changed. Someone immediately gagged his mouth as he was about to utter something. The first prince was the one who did that. “Do not say anything else. Father has already been defeated. He is no match for Watson, and we have little hopes of getting to the crown. We should just be regular folks in the capital. I hope Watson does not attack us for Kiana’s sake.”


  Then, several teleportation arrays appeared in the sky.

  Several noblemen walked out of the teleportation arrays. Some of them wore happy faces, while others looked sad. With the exception of the Saint Laurent family, those noblemen were governed by the three archduke families. All of the members of the two families were imprisoned. Augustus, the leader, embraced his shoulders proudly and said, “Watson, I did not subjugate the Campbell and other two families because I gave into you. It is merely that you resurrected me; therefore, I reciprocate the favor.”


  “That is Edward’s home?” The Saint Laurent family head glanced around after she appeared. Soon, she found Edward in the crowd. After their eyes met, their bodies trembled with excitement.

  “This is the border. Doesn’t it look special?”


  Many Saint Laurent family members glanced down. They grumbled when they saw the massive pits in the earth. They were affected by the family head’s remarks and elected to support Watson. According to the family head’s speculation, they would be rewarded handsomely if they followed Watson. However, given the devastation, Watson was probably powerless to intervene.

  “Young Master Watson, is the battle over?”


  “We’re here to help you!

  Then, groups of people appeared from all directions of Mount Creation and spoke to Watson. Some of those people were from the City of Steel, and Watson recognized them, such as Clyde and the others. There were also men, women, and children he did not recognize. Their eyes were all aglow with combat zeal.

  Watson’s heart warmed when he saw those folks.

  “Thank you very much, everyone. The war is over. I was able to resolve the war so swiftly because everyone was eager to share the power in their bodies! Everyone made a significant contribution to the war’s success. To recompense everyone, I have chosen to join the three kingdoms, including the Holy Dragon Kingdom, to create a paradise free of struggle and terror for everyone.”


  Watson lifted his hands and ignited the fusion system as he spoke. The Holy Dragon Kingdom’s land began to tremble. As the sun rose, the ground rocked. As it dropped, the sky brought clouds with it. Outside the Holy Dragon Kingdom, two distinct kingdoms rose into the sky and transformed into beams of light as they traveled toward that location.

  That scene that shook the heavens and earth shocked everyone there……
