The arena.
Su Ye’s expression was calm as he stood upon the wind, looking down upon the land.
HUMM.
The spiritual pressure, which had been surging like a tidal wave, slowly receded.
But the upper echelon of Aino present only felt their hearts pound even harder. To them, it was like facing a dormant, active volcano!
It appeared calm and placid, without a ripple, yet it concealed a terrifying, destructive energy!
Enough to tear apart the earth and destroy cities!
"Your Highness, the Divine Son..."
The many leaders of Aino grew ever more terrified.
In their perception, Su Ye alone possessed the power to slaughter every person from Aino present within ten breaths!
’Such absolute power...’
The Aino leadership was stunned into silence, their bodies trembling as they prostrated themselves on the ground as if before a god.
After the Fertile Divine Abomination had been slain, Aino City possessed absolutely no power to resist an existence like Su Ye!
"Very good..."
Su Ye smiled, quite satisfied with the reverence shown by the Aino leaders.
WHOOSH.
The clouds swirled and surged.
Behind him, a throne ford from white vapor.
Su Ye sat on the throne, propped his chin on his left hand, and spoke with a languid expression.
"I am Su Ye. From this day forward, I am taking control of Aino City."
There was no hint of a question in his voice.
It was rely a simple, clear announcent—a declaration of fact.
Arrogance.
Such utter arrogance!
Faced with Su Ye’s words, the Aino leaders, especially the royal family, trembled all over.
Aino City. They had ruled this city-state for nearly two thousand years, a legacy passed down through almost a hundred generations!
And now, they were utterly powerless to resist, forced to simply hand it over!
They didn’t even dare to voice a single objection!
"Yes..."
"We obey your command, Your Highness, the Divine Son..."
After all, they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
The Fertile Divine Abomination, effortlessly slain by him!
The King of Aino, severely wounded by a single blow!
Most importantly, the Goddess of Fertility... their ancestral god and protector, had already fallen!
They had lost everything they relied upon.
Like a drowning person suddenly plunged into water, the fear of death and awe of the strong completely consud their minds!
Before Su Ye, they probably couldn’t even ’escape’!
With such a vast disparity in power, they could only accept any demand he made!
Otherwise, the only alternative was death!
However...
Even with their deference, Su Ye’s attitude was far from friendly...
He twirled a lock of hair around his fingertip, leaned back on his throne, and, with a casual expression, spoke nonchalantly about his arrangents for the Aino leaders.
"As for all of you..."
"According to my plan... you all have to die."
The corners of Su Ye’s lips curled up in a thoroughly wicked smile.
HUMM.
The mont the words left his lips, the temperature in the arena seed to plumt below freezing!
The Xiri sun was clearly warm and the temperature pleasant.
But in an instant, cold sweat soaked through the backs of the Aino leaders’ clothes!
Beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, matting their hair.
The teeth of the vast majority of them began to chatter!
Despair flooded their hearts.
’Right, how could I have ever deluded myself into hoping I’d survive?’
’So naive!’
’This ti, he returned with Marina!’
’If I were in his shoes, considering the deep-seated blood feud Marina holds, not a single person from the temple, from the rank of Official Priest and above, would be spared!’
’A complete purge!’
’And the royal family...’
’Please, they’re the Fertile Divine Descendants... What kind of Divine Son would let the previous divine descendants live?’
BUZZ!
The fear of death beca almost tangible.
It was as if a monstrous, black beast had appeared behind Su Ye, opening its gaping maw towards them!
Ti seed to slow down to a crawl.
"AHHH!!!"
Finally, a young Prince let out a wild roar and sprinted away without looking back.
Run!
His speed was incredible.
One could see he wore two feathers on his head—a Tier-2 Warrior!
"Green, no!"
A woman’s panicked, pleading voice cried out.
But... it was too late!
HUMM.
Su Ye smiled. With a re flicker of his Divine Sense, he sealed the space around the Prince.
The Tier-2 Warrior froze instantly, like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move a muscle.
Then.
POP!
Like a water balloon filled to bursting, the Prince’s body suddenly exploded!
Every organ, every inch of flesh and blood, completely ruptured!
However, an invisible wall confined the splattered fragnts to the space imdiately around him...
Utterly obliterated, not a single whole organ could be found, yet it was all contained within a cubic space...
The grotesque contrast between precision and chaos!
It caused several of the younger mbers of the royal family to turn deathly pale!
Su Ye retracted his hand with satisfaction. ’Good, I didn’t create any unnecessary trouble for the cleaning staff... I’m really too kind...’
As for the 0.1% increase in his World Rejection Level... a re drop in the bucket.
After killing the Fertile Divine Abomination, he had expected his rejection level to rise by at least 10%, but it had only gone up by 0.5%. This instantly raised Su Ye’s psychological threshold.
’Wouldn’t it be a waste not to kill a few more?’
It felt like having a coupon that was about to expire.
He shook his head, dispelling the strange thought.
Su Ye’s gaze shifted.
He then looked toward a tall, wheat-skinned beauty standing beside the King.
Just a mont ago, she was the one who had tried to stop Prince Green from fleeing.
This beauty had silky smooth black hair that fell to her waist. Her figure was full and slender, with towering snowy peaks that strained against her robes, outlining a perfect curve.
Her features were exquisitely beautiful, not at all inferior to a young maiden’s, but with the added intellectual and seductive charm unique to a mature woman.
She wore a headdress of golden-threaded feathers and tassels, which highlighted her status.
"You’re the Queen of Aino?"
Su Ye asked with a smile.
"Yes, esteed Your Highness. This servant’s na is Genvieve."
Genvieve curtsied, her response smooth and practiced.
"What was your relationship to the man I just killed?"
"He was..."
Genvieve’s expression froze, and she forced a smile.
"He was this servant’s child."
Her waist, as slender as a willow branch, showed no signs of having given birth.
Su Ye could sense the Fertility Divinity in her, as well as a cultivation level of around the second tier...
This was not surprising. To ensure the inheritance of the Fertility Divinity and prevent its decline, the royal family mostly resorted to inbreeding.
Queen Genvieve, like the King, was also a Fertile Divine Descendant.
"Oh."
Su Ye remained impassive, a playful smile on his face. "A mont ago, you tried to stop him. Did you guess what I was going to do?"
"I wouldn’t dare... How could this servant presu to guess your thoughts?" Genvieve said demurely, lowering her eyes.
"Heh..." Su Ye chuckled, shook his head, and said.
"She guessed correctly. I’m prepared to give you all a chance."
"The rules are simple. Everyone here will participate in single-combat duels... Kill one Cultivator of the sa tier, and you can live and serve ."
Gotta respect the traditions of the Far South Continent~
Hearing this rule, the leaders present felt they had a path forward and relaxed slightly.
Only one person’s face turned pale... the King of Aino!
Where was he supposed to find soone of the sa tier?!
