Everyone had taken their seats.

On the table, members of Robert's group and the four major clans sat facing each other, their lips curved into subtle smiles, their eyes filled with scrutiny and caution.

At this moment, Nicholas suddenly spoke, "I feel that we should stop the live broadcast. After all, what we are about to discuss is highly confidential."

Robert had no objection to this; he was in the midst of contacting someone from the Mage Association when someone exclaimed, "The live broadcast has been cut off."

Nicholas couldn't help but furrow his brows, looking slightly towards Ivan, the one who had just spoken.

Aware of his blunder, Ivan quickly bowed his head, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration.

The main screen in the middle of the table had indeed gone dark, leaving only a blue hue.

Others, noticing this, raised their eyebrows, their eyes subtly shifting towards one another.

They had just discussed turning off the live broadcast, and now it was off.

    Others who heard Arthur and Nicholas's discussion felt a tingling sensation. In their words, a colossal family was casually treated as if it were a few gold coins in a gambling hall. They could even use it as a bet...Nicholas, after speaking, continued to gaze at Arthur. Arthur, seeing this, smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Indeed, very fair. So, shall we discuss the method of the competition now?"Nicholas nodded, "Certainly, and the contract will be of the highest level."Arthur nodded without hesitation. At this moment, Robert looked at Arthur with some concern, and Riert directly said, "Arthur, don't you think you're deciding everything too hastily?"Upon hearing Riert say this, Arthur couldn't help but glance at him. Honestly, he didn't expect Riert to speak up and offer advice.Arthur smiled and replied in a low voice, "In any case, there's no other choice now."Riert, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly. On the other side, Nicholas burst into laughter, say

    The creatures that spilled out from the actual space crack were indeed killed by the Mage Association. Their speed was truly fast, with no casualties among humans, and the only thing destroyed was the government headquarters building. This raised suspicions among many. Was it that the Mage Association couldn't predict the appearance of this crack, or did they know but intentionally chose not to predict it? If not, how could they eliminate these creatures so quickly? Was it merely because they were powerful?Many in the government had such doubts, but no one spoke up.It was just their speculation, and currently, they couldn't confront the Mage Association. On the other side, the four major clans quickly returned to their flying ships. The other clans didn't feel any sense of existence in front of Nicholas.Nicholas frowned; he was still thinking about the recent events.He felt that something was not right with this situation. Although the truth was that Arthur had no talent i

    Robert hesitated among the choices.At this moment, Joel suddenly spoke, "If we don't declare our stance now, waiting until the four major family factions win the battle, it will be too late."He said so clearly because he felt Arthur was undoubtedly going to lose. Regardless, he didn't believe someone with no magical talent like Arthur could defeat an old fox like Nicholas, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years.Upon hearing this, Robert's finger couldn't help but twitch slightly, his gaze deep and thoughtful. Just then, Riert interjected, "Currently, nothing can be certain. The best way to avoid harm on any front is to wait for the battle between Arthur and Nicholas to conclude. If Arthur wins, we can still maintain a good relationship with him. If Nicholas wins, we can start building a new relationship with them from that moment without any major issues."Riert didn't understand why they had to worry about this issue. In his opinion, Arthur and Nicholas should be the o

    Lance wore a serious expression as he briefed Arthur on the situation, saying, "Certainly, the four major clans must have orchestrated this. There are currently many conflicting opinions about you on the internet."What Lance was really concerned about came next. It seemed someone was guiding the direction of online discourse. There were numerous derogatory opinions about Arthur, some even claiming he was unworthy of his current position. Arthur, seemingly indifferent, remarked, "Regardless, it's the truth. There's no need to get worked up about it."Lance furrowed his brow slightly but ultimately said nothing more. Michael couldn't help but glance at Arthur, who genuinely seemed unfazed by the online commentary. Honestly, Michael admired his mindset.Then Arthur continued, "Lance, ignore the magical talent discussions. Have someone investigate the opinions affecting me and the Hastings clan. Sue them all for me."He had the resources to do so. Lance immediately nodded and made

    Robert blinked, trying to appear more spirited. He seemed a bit tired as he spoke, "I'm fine, just been having some headaches lately." Case didn't say anything more upon hearing this. Despite Robert's seeming abnormality, Case couldn't discern any unusual signs from him.Case offered, "Do you need me to perform the replacement procedure for you?" Not exerting himself too much, Robert nodded and said, "Alright." With that, he stepped back.Case followed suit, moving a little forward. However, he didn't catch it in time—when Robert stepped back, his eyes suddenly darkened slightly as if covered by a veil of black mist. It was a fleeting change, almost as if it had never occurred.Case didn't need a microphone. He harnessed his power and began speaking, "Prepare." His voice resonated loudly and clearly, reaching everyone's ears.Without looking at Case, Nicholas spoke in a low tone, "Currently, there are indeed many hidden talents. Last time, I didn't realize this person had suc

    Nicholas's relentless attacks threw nearly a third of the battlefield into chaos. The ground erupted into deep craters, and dust scattered in all directions. Everyone watched in awe at his power.At this moment, the dust suddenly cleared in a circle, revealing Arthur unharmed, standing in place. However, he quickly jumped back into the dust to evade Nicholas's attacks. Nicholas chuckled at this and increased the speed of his assault.Just then, a bright spot suddenly flickered amidst the dust. Before anyone could comprehend what it was, a dazzling light emerged. Arthur leaped out of the dust, displaying incredible strength that turned the ground beneath him into a large pit.In his hand, a black-flamed sword appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Arthur faced the energy beams shot from Nicholas's magic circle without hesitation. With a single swing of his sword, those energy beams vanished, losing all their power.In a matter of moments, Arthur appeared in front of Nicholas, swing

    Seizing the opportunity, Arthur was pushed back, and Nicholas quickly retreated, temporarily avoiding further combat. In his heart, Nicholas was not only infuriated but also deeply perplexed. Why?! Clearly, he was a level 9 mage, yet he was about to lose to someone with no magical talent like Arthur?No, this couldn't be happening. In this era of change, the Hastings family had lost its former glory, no longer producing talents. Why, after countless incidents, could Arthur still surpass everyone?Could it be that the position of the Hastings family was truly something beyond the reach of ordinary people? No, he would never believe this. Today, he would undoubtedly emerge victorious!Nicholas looked towards Arthur, his eyes icy. After all, he still had one trump card left against Arthur...On another side, the battle between Lance and Bryan was reaching its climax. Since entering the forest, Lance's magic had indeed been restricted, but his speed and strength were not among th

    Upon hearing Harry's words, Lance showed no particular expression and simply said, "Alright, then. Perhaps it's time to find a way to break the barrier on his head."Upon hearing this, Harry couldn't help but furrow his brow a bit. "Do you want to kill him right away?"Lance nodded. "In any case, he's likely just a puppet of Nicholas. Keeping him alive only adds to the trouble."Harry agreed, saying, "You're right. So, make sure he can't move anymore, then take him to the owner. Perhaps he'll have a solution."Lance raised an eyebrow slightly at that but ultimately didn't say anything more and continued to attack Bryan.Now, with Harry, a magical genius, added to the mix, they quickly rendered Bryan unable to move his limbs. However, Bryan continued to unleash attacks as if his magic was limitless, and the gruesome wounds on his body seemed to have no effect on him.Harry, without hesitation, raised his staff, and a strand of light appeared, tightly wrapping around Bryan. Despite Bry

    Arthur rolled his eyes, looking coldly at the abyss being consumed by the flames.When he saw that the tearful pleas were in vain, in the final moments, all that remained from the abyss's mouth were curses.But Arthur paid no attention; this time, the abyss had to die and, furthermore, die in an entirely new way.The abyss's body quickly turned into dust, but Arthur's flames didn't stop.This was because there was still a dark mist writhing madly there—this was the true nature of the abyss.Finally, Arthur stood, watching the flames burning vigorously for almost thirty minutes.By now, the abyss had completely perished.Arthur wasn't faring much better; he had almost lost his life.His face was as pale as paper, and his lips lacked any trace of color.The scenery in front of him seemed to tilt continuously.Arthur took a deep breath, quickly stabilizing himself, and his serious gaze looked fo

    In the final moment, even the abyss didn't fully comprehend what had happened. As soon as the child finished speaking, a tremendous surge of energy enveloped the supervisor's entire body. By now, the supervisor's body was covered in Arthur's blood.The energy erupted, flames engulfing the supervisor's body, causing unimaginable pain. The abyss howled in agony, the sound and force of the supervisor being so intense that cracks began to appear in the ground above them as if it could collapse at any moment.Arthur, pinned by the spikes on the supervisor's body, couldn't escape. The frenzied abyss ran amok, trying to extinguish the flames, causing Arthur's body to shake along with the chaos. Arthur furrowed his brow slightly, unable to do anything more.He didn't even feel the fire burning him; no heat, no pain. This fire was undoubtedly his ally. Arthur thought to himself.Amidst the incessant screams of the abyss, the earth above them began to crumble. Arthur opened his eyes wide

    This crack itself didn't know it, but at this point, it had become a deep abyss.The abyss seemed to be doing everything possible to kill Arthur. It frantically dug through its own memories and cracks, searching for Arthur's existence in the past. It aimed to exploit this information to devise a plan to kill Arthur more easily.Unexpectedly, it succeeded in finding what it sought. In the past, when Arthur was three years old and still in the Sunny orphanage, he had a genuine encounter with the abyss.Seizing this opportunity, the abyss immediately used most of its power to manipulate time. However, its power wasn't enough to reverse time entirely. Moreover, to carry out such powerful actions, the abyss had to endure a considerable toll on its own realm.At this moment, the abyss had no memories, but it was genuinely stronger than Arthur, a mere child. It felt confident that it wouldn't lose. As soon as Arthur appeared, it believed it could easily crush him, very gently.But the

    Arthur was lifted by the neck by the manager. Even though he struggled frantically, there was no way to escape, and it only made his body more painful.The manager, with his eyes gleaming bright red, looked at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "If you want to live, shut up!"Arthur could feel that the manager was different at this moment as if something had changed deep within him.This change made him appear more frightening, more audacious.Arthur pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.The manager seemed pleased with Arthur's silence. He smirked, then threw Arthur into the pit before him.As he approached, the foul smell intensified. Witnessing the scene in front of him, Arthur couldn't hold back his nausea.Seeing Arthur's expression, the manager sneered, "You've tasted it before, disgusting, isn't it? Ha ha, would you like to have more now?"Arthur's face turned pale, frozen, and he dared not make any other movements.The manager, satisfied with Arthur's fearful appearance,

    Arthur's trembling demeanor, in the eyes of the manager, appeared to be weakened to the point of imminent death. Instantly, the manager's eyebrows furrowed, but his spoken words seemed oddly gentle. He approached, took hold of Arthur, and then looked towards Emma, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll take care of this little one; you may go."In reality, the manager wasn't particularly patient, nor was he a gentle person. However, when dealing with potential "harvestable" products, he was always required to be careful. After all, he was the one raising these children, knowing what they needed to grow up.Hearing this, Emma happily left without any worries. Arthur could only stare as Emma walked away, mouth agape, wanting to speak but finding himself unable to.This made Arthur involuntarily furrow his brows. He also sensed the formidable aura of the man. It seemed as though he wasn't holding a child's hand but rather trying to break a branch.As soon as Emma left, the manager nar

    Creating such a large space gate naturally consumes a great deal of power, but Benjamin doesn't even frown at it. His subordinates have arrived, a group of mermen with perfect appearances. Despite their aquatic nature, they firmly plant their feet on the ground, displaying incredible flexibility in movement, and without much talk, they join the battle.However, cracks appear in different races but manifest on the human battlefield. At this point, it's not just a matter of numerical difference; humans and others are truly overwhelmed to the point of breathlessness. Other races take more time to arrive, and at this moment, they must resist until assistance arrives.Meanwhile, Arthur below isn't faring much better. Almost as soon as he senses the spatial shift, Arthur knows what the abyss intends to do. So, for the first time in this life, he uses his privilege, broadcasting a summon to all non-human species on the continent, ordering them to send half of their armies to the human

    The body in front of Arthur shattered into pieces, with fragments of flesh and skin shooting towards Arthur, but they couldn't completely reach him as his shield blocked them.Expressionless, Arthur retracted his sword, coldly saying, "Fake again, too troublesome."Indeed, it was another fake; it wasn't a real abyss. However, Arthur could sense the power that had approached his body closely in the recent encounter. Perhaps that was a significant part of the abyss, similar to a detached limb.It could be that the abyss was dying, but it quickly transferred its energy to another body to continue its existence. Arthur thought itwas not entirely wrong; the recent encounter was not a genuine abyss, but it was still a significant part of the abyss.The abyss was now hiding in a corner within the darkness, with blood-red eyes dripping with fresh blood. At this moment, the figure became increasingly frail and uncontrollable, with blood gushing out wildly.Despite this, the figure was rec

    The colossal dark arrow collided with the sphere of sharp spikes, immediately creating a tremendous explosion of energy. The ground kept trembling, sharp fragments scattered everywhere, and the shockwave from the explosion alone could be lethal to an ordinary person.In the silent space, after a while, the sound of footsteps echoed, accompanied by heavy, triumphant breathing.The giant figure of the abyss approached the debris field. At this moment, the figure had undergone a massive transformation. Anyone who saw him now would likely struggle to hold back their nausea.The figure's body remained large, but the flesh seemed to melt, sagging to the ground as the figure was dragged along.The melted flesh revealed the grotesque skeleton beneath, with a back covered in sharp spikes, long arms reaching down to the legs, and twisted, bizarrely shaped feet.Especially disturbing was the figure's face, as the skeletal structure appeared incomplete, with half of the head shattered, exposin

    At this moment, Arthur truly resembled a person of fire, flames roaring on his body, incinerating all the creatures around him.Beneath a chaotic crack, the screams reverberated, causing excruciating pain to anyone's ears. Arthur, however, seemed oblivious to it all.He swung his sword against the frenzied spikes attacking him. Yet, these spikes seemed to have received some commanding order as they recklessly lunged toward Arthur, unaffected by the hellfire that engulfed them.One after another, spikes hurled themselves at him, seemingly endless. The abyssal realm beneath was evidently dissatisfied with his fiery onslaught, desiring to pull him down as swiftly as possible.Moreover, these spikes were numerous and seemingly fearless of death. Eventually, Arthur's flames revealed a gap.Seizing the opportunity, a spike swiftly maneuvered, grabbing hold of Arthur's ankle and aggressively pulling him down. However, another spike was quickly sliced into pieces, and many others were co
