On Mount Creation.
“Everyone be on the lookout for the enemies’ attacks.”
The Blackmoon Knights rose into the air under the leadership of their respective commanders. Soon, 100,000 Blackmoon Knights gathered in mid-air. The knights lined up neatly and drew their swords from their waists. They looked around with unsightly expressions on their faces.
They had not expected that someone would invade Mount Creation. Furthermore, there were so many of them. It was not only the Elven Kingdom but the entire Winter Nation army. As the most fortified region of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, if those two kingdoms wanted to occupy the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it would be better to enter from anywhere else than from there.
Even though they did not look good, the Blackmoon Knights did not panic. Under Watson’s training, they had long developed an invincible conviction. No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they had the confidence to win.
“Watson, two kingdoms are invading at the same time. Even you would have a headache facing such a situation! Oh, right, I just remembered something. Your two masters are currently in the Elven Kingdom. They are also in danger.”
After the red-haired girl, Frigga, appeared in the Winter Nation army, the smile on her face became even wider. She spoke to Watson in a slightly mocking tone.
“What did you say?”
“Don’t believe what I said? I’ll show you the evidence.”
Frigga spread her right hand as she spoke, and a magic screen appeared in her hand. The scene projected the Elven Kingdom. At that moment, the Elven Kingdom was in ruins. There were charred marks everywhere, and the ground was also filled with dried blood. The originally lush World Tree was close to withering, and three people were hanging from it.
Two of them were Watson’s masters, and the other person was someone Watson did not know. It was a petite girl with transparent elven wings on her back, and her face was gorgeous. Their bodies were wrapped by thorns and nailed to a huge cross. Their skin was cut by the vines, revealing fresh blood. The blood did not drip before it seeped into the vines and was absorbed.
Unlike Antonio and Reid, the girl had lost her vitality and looked completely dead. Soon, Antonio and Reid would also become like that.
“Watson, your masters have been sealed by the World Tree! The roots of the World Tree have been destroyed, and it urgently needs nutrition. Your two masters are what it needs. According to my calculations, in about half an hour, your two masters will be completely absorbed by the World Tree. What do you want to do? Will you go to the Elven Kingdom to save your masters or stay here to protect your family?”
Frigga’s words were calm, but the cruelty contained within them was like the cold winds of winter, making one shudder.
Frigga was King Landhar III. After failing the previous competition with Watson, he carefully reflected and discovered Watson’s weakness.
Watson was very strong. With the fusion system, it was almost impossible to defeat him in a head-on confrontation. Even if he joined forces with the Winter Nation and the Elven Kingdom, it would only give Watson pressure, and the chances of victory were not high. However, Watson had a weakness—his family and friends.
“If you were like me, a cold and heartless person, I would not be able to do anything to you, no matter what! Unfortunately, that kind of uncaring affection for your family and friends is your greatest weakness. As long as I control the people around you, you will compromise, no matter how strong you are.”
Frigga’s eyes were filled with darkness. In the past, she had been called a manipulative king. Understanding his opponents’ weaknesses was her most powerful weapon.
She would force Watson into a corner. He would need to choose to stay there or save his masters. If he stayed there, Watson might be able to resolve the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation’s joint attack, but Antonio and Reid would die. That would make Watson regret it for the rest of his life. If he chose to save Antonio and Reid, Mount Creation might be breached without his help.
No matter what choice he made, Watson could not do both. No matter who he lost, he would regret it for the rest of his life. The last time he fought with Watson, it was just a small test. At that time, it was all part of her plan.
Watson bit his lip. He could not answer immediately. No matter who he chose, they were the people closest to him. He could not make a choice.
At that moment, he was forced into a desperate situation.
Flashback to when Watson had fused King Landhar III.
“I’m finally out of the barrier. Watson should be happy to have dealt with me. Let him be happy for a while. He only has a few days left to be happy anyway!”
Frigga was stretching outside the barrier, her eyes sparkling. One of her red hairs had turned into a snake, speaking in human language. “It seems like you have an idea of our next plan. Where are we going next?”
“We’re going to the Winter Nation.”
“The Winter Nation? Now that the Holy Dragon Kingdom is at war with the Elven Kingdom, wouldn’t it be better for us to go to the Elven Kingdom?” The Primordial Demoness, who had entrusted her hair to Frigga, sounded puzzled.
Then Frigga revealed an enigmatic smile, “It’s precisely because the Elven Kingdom is at war with the Holy Dragon Kingdom that we don’t need to care about them. We need to pull the Winter Nation into the war. They have been watching the battle from the sidelines. The larger the war, the more benefits we can get, right?”
“That makes sense.”
“I’ll go to the Winter Nation to help them. Watson is now the leader of the dragons, and the Winter Nation has the lair of the Dark Dragon King. If they know that we’re going to attack Mount Creation, the Dark Dragon King will destroy the Winter Nation army even before they leave their kingdom.”
As he spoke, Frigga flew toward the Winter Nation.
…
At the Winter Nation…
“Waaa…”
The Dark Dragon King spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee, looking at the red-haired girl in disbelief. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you?”
The Dark Dragon King could not believe that he would lose to an unknown girl. Watson had bestowed him with great powers when he was on the Divine Dragon Star, and he had advanced to the dragon god-tier.
He had advanced into a Dark Divine Dragon. It had the ability to plunge an entire kingdom into the darkness with a single thought. The divine kingdom that he controlled could freeze everything and return everything to darkness and silence.
However, he had just cast the Dark Divine Kingdom on the red-haired girl in front of him. Before the darkness could sweep over the girl, she reached out with a finger and shattered it. Then, the girl conveniently pointed at him. He felt like his body was overwhelmed by surging fear. An intense fear that he did not know numbed his nerves, making him unable to continue his attack.
At that moment, the red-haired girl did not intend to answer his question. Instead, she turned to face the Winter Nation’s empress, who was not far away. “Empress Gustav, I have helped you solve the problem with the Dark Dragon King. I can also control them so that you can always use the dragons’ power. But you need to help me with a small favor.”
“Of course, King Landhar III, no, I should call you Lady Frigga now! You have done so much for the Winter Nation. It is only right for me to repay you. After all, the Winter Nation and the Holy Dragon Kingdom have always been allies.”
A smile appeared on Empress Gustav’s face, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. It was as if she was sad that King Landhar III had become a woman.
