The revered Great One and living legend!Ever since Fred reached the pinnacle five years ago, countless forces had seen him as a thorn in their sides. They lost sleep over their want to eliminate him.However, this was truly the first time ever that they used a missile strike on him directly.Fred had reacted quickly back then by anticipating the attack and defending against it. He also used Milo as a shield to bear the brunt of the missile explosion. It was only then that he managed to escape. Otherwise, he would likely have been severely injured if not killed!Of course, Fred was not in great shape now either. Despite not suffering much damage thanks to Milo taking the brunt of the attack, the walls of the crater he was in had melted due to the heat from the missile explosion. It resembled reinforced steel.Not only that, Fred also now found it difficult to mobilize his inner strength due to the disruption he felt from the shock of his injuries. Hence, he found himself stuck wit
Arnold shook his head. Smiling wryly again, he said, "This isn't even the worst part. You haven't forgotten who our own God of War is now, have you?""Gustafson Hansen, right?" Terrence suddenly fell silent.There was no hope from those in higher authority. Coupled with the fact that the God of War, Gustafson, was part of the Hansen family, it seemed as if all hope was lost! It really looked like there was no way to turn this situation around!Just when Arnold and Terrence were plagued with worry, a military speedboat approached them from across the sea. It docked right in front of them. "Hehe, hello, you two!" Gorde, the head of the Gaunt family, and Yorick, the head of the Fraley family, were smiling as they greeted them warmly from inside the boat. "Hello..."Arnold might not like either of them, but he still nodded slightly given the higher authority’s presence. Terrence also did the same.Gorde and Yorick did not mind their reaction either as they stepped forward to them
In the end, Arnold and Terrence reluctantly led Tyne and Stellar into the mansion. They then headed toward the conference hall where the foreign emissaries were gathered.The doors to the conference hall opened. The inside felt highly oppressive with the foreign emissaries all seated at the topmost seats. Their eyes focused on them as they entered the hall. The atmosphere was akin to that of a courtroom where a judge awaited the arrival of their most detested defendant.William, the US emissary and a member of the Orton family, was the first to begin questioning. He had adopted the same confrontational attitude as the former US emissary, Cameron. "Mr. Shaw, have you brought Fred’s people with you?" Arnold’s expression visibly darkened when this US citizen directed such a questioning tone at him. Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and pointed to Tyne and Stellar beside him. "This is our leader's fiancée, Miss Adams, and the other is one of his subordinates, Stellar. He's a warlord
"Miss Tyne, we acknowledge your status as Fred's family. In that case..."In response to Tyne’s question, William took out a list and immediately went through it at length. He listed all of Fred's alleged wrongdoings, starting from when he reached the pinnacle five years ago to the most recent incident where he requested compensation from so many countries. He even concocted dozens of charges against Fred.William spent a whole half-hour reading out the list. He concluded with a sneer as he put the list down gently, "That’s a total of 175 charges, involving 47 major countries worldwide. There has never been such a heinous criminal in the entire history of humanity. This is not only a provocation to international peace but also a challenge to the sovereignty of the nations. With such crimes under his belt, Fred can already be classified as a Class-A criminal who's attempting to trigger a world war!""Do you have any evidence?" Tyne asked as if she were in a business negotiation. She
Compensate their nations and subject punishment on Tyne? They would even use force if Somerland were to object to their demands.Practically the moment Willian said that, Arnold, who had been trying to maintain his patience the entire time at the front, instantly exploded!On the one hand, Arnold had been holding himself back previously for the sake of maintaining the bigger picture. On the other hand, he had also been wary about their God of Wars.Yet, William, who was just a messenger, had shown such arrogance. He even dared utter the words he just did. Because of that, Arnold immediately roared. "You come to our country and have the audacity to speak so arrogantly! This is outrageous! I’ll have you arrested right now!”“You’re going to arrest me?”William was not at all worried about Arnold’s outburst. He just smiled coldly and said, “Mr. Shaw, I don’t think you understand the situation at all. First off, I’m an emissary of the United States, and you’re just one of Somerland’s
“Mr. Hansen, what are you lot trying to do here?" Jeremiah boomed before everyone recovered from Gustafson’s sudden appearance. He was situated not far away in a dark corner as he looked at Gustafson with a slight frown. With him was the head of the Hansen family, Gustavo, who was standing beside him. He also sported the same expression.Both of them were here, along with the Gaunts and Fralies, to witness a great calamity befall Tyne and Stellar. After all, Fred was dead and they were his people. This would resolve their previous grudges against Fred.However, none of them expected Gustavo’s son, Gustafson, to come to these people's rescue just as both Tyne and Stellar were about to be forcibly carted away by the Americans.This turn of events left Jeremiah puzzled, while Gustavo’s own expression was also dark and solemn.In fact, Gustavo was also somewhat puzzled about what his son had become. Ever since he ascended to become a God of War, their relationship gradually drifted apa
A deafening rumble shook the sky!At the mansion in Oceanus, Gustafson and the foreign Gods of War were in a standoff. Meanwhile, a man dressed in black suddenly appeared at the foot of a large mountain that was three kilometers away from the border town. His figure emerged slowly while bathed in golden light under the thunderous rumbling.His eyes were piercing, his expression stern. Who else could it be but Fred?"I thought I’d be able to recover in a day, but God did that take long!"He rolled his shoulders slightly and immediately looked toward a nearby location.Suddenly, a troop rushed toward him. They were none other than the Red Letter Army who had been searching for Fred nearby.“Salutations, Great One!"They saw that Fred was unharmed while rushing over, and excitement instantly filled them.Fred smiled faintly upon seeing them. "You lot have worked hard! It looks like the Black Dragon Mercenary Group has been taken care of?”"Yes! Since you and Milo went missing,
The once magnificent Oceanus mansion was in ruins after being reduced to a pile of rubble. Military forces had also surrounded the area, forbidding anyone from approaching.Only the foreign emissaries, as well as Tyne and Stellar, who were both considered the subjects of judgment, were allowed to stand within the encirclement.This was the same for the Fralies, Gaunts, Terras, and Hansens.Regardless of their thoughts and feelings at the moment, their attention was currently focused on the center of the location. This was because there were two troops there at this moment. One of them was made up of the foreign Gods of War while the other was Gustafson, who was Somerland’s God of War. He was not alone, however, as five other formidable warlords were standing by his side. They were part of the Eight Great Warlord Families—Quinton, the head of the Walker family; Nikolai, the head of the Holt family; Merlin, the head of the Scorese family; and Douglas, the head of the Pond family.T
Marciella walking away did not bode well with the giant snake. Marciella was its food! How could it accept that its food had escaped?Marciella had not moved far yet. She reluctantly looked back at Fred.She did not know how Fred would handle the River God. She could only hope Fred would be okay!When Fred saw that she had left, he geared up, rubbing his palms in glee. He had an eager look on his face, which confused the giant snake.It was the snake’s first time meeting a man like Fred!How strange indeed!At this time!Suddenly, Fred said with hostility etched on his face, "Hey, Big Snake, what are you going to do now?"The snake's attention was entirely focused on him, which seemed off to Fred."What I’m going to do?"The giant snake fixated its eyes on Fred. It felt that it could handle a human like Fred easily.“I’m going to kill you with one bite! How dare you look down on me like this!"The giant snake rushed toward Fred fiercely at a speed so fast that no one could
Fred was annoyed by the giant snake's arrogant tone. Fred squinted his eyes at the snake and asked in confusion, "Why are you making that face?"“Huh?"The giant snake was shocked. He thought that Fred would submit to him, but to his surprise, Fred was not shaken at all.The snake was about to lose his temper.“Dirty snake, haven't I made myself clear enough? I think you are probably sleep-talking if you want me to hand over my people to you..." Fred said impatiently.At this moment…Feeling that it was being ridiculed, the snake said suddenly, "You punk, this is the first time anyone spoke to me this way. What is your name?"“Me?"Fred was stunned subconsciously, not knowing what the snake wanted. Suddenly, he understood.“Did you want to know my name so you can remember me, bow down before me, and become my follower? Sure, I’ll give you that chance!"He was adding fuel to the fire. The giant snake almost spat out blood in anger!"What? You want me to follow an immature bei
Huh!?Putting aside Marciella, even Fred could not hide his shock as a giant snake appeared from under the water!A giant snake!How could it be!?Fred's eyes widened at the sheer size of the snake. "A Giant Snake… Is this the so-called River God?"Moreover, the size was humongous. The snake must be at least ten stories high!What a huge snake!Fred finally understood why he felt a powerful force under the water!There was a sharp glint in the giant snake’s eyes! That was the blinking light from time to time!"Who comes here? Are you from the village? Who do you plan to sacrifice to me this time?" As soon as the giant snake spoke, Fred realized that this was not the first time it had done this.The snake seemed familiar with the ritual process. Obviously, the villagers had witnessed this giant snake before. This was the meeting between the two sides! Fred felt uncomfortable at this. As for the giant snake, it felt bemused when it saw Fred. The snake had never seen Fred befo
Fred was going to risk it all to open this girl's eyes!The force from the punch was extraordinary! As soon as the tree was hit by the seismic fist, it fell immediately and the whole tree split neatly in two!Marciella was dumbfounded!Although she knew how powerful Fred was, to witness his power was a different thing entirely!"Master Fred, your power is insane!"Marciella could not help but applaud.Fred seemed indifferent, as though he had no feeling at all about this."Is it? Why do you think so?"He looked so indifferent.For Ancient Martial Arts, things did not get any simpler than this!"You’re so strong. Anyway, I don’t doubt you anymore..." Marciella sighed, suddenly feeling very sad. "This is the reward of being educated. If we were more knowledgeable, we wouldn’t be so clueless.”"Haha, if you can't solve your issues, your descendants can work harder," Fred said with a wink.Marciella said, "Mr. Fred, I needed to ask you something! What if our luck was changed ju
What Fred said aroused her curiosity."What does it look like when you offer a sacrifice?"Fred knew he could not speak of this matter. Sure enough, Marciella felt a little downcast after Fred said the words. She did not know why Fred would say such a thing. Suddenly, Fred felt bad about it.He coughed and said, "Don't think too much about it... I just want to find a clue. Maybe we could find a solution. Why does it never rain in your village?""Huh?"Marciella's eyes, which were still a little dejected, suddenly realized what was important and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Fred, are you saying that the reason why it never rains in our village is because someone is behind it?"Although Fred was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but nod. "Yes, this is exactly what you thought!""For real?!"Marciella felt hopeful again when she heard this. She said hastily, "The thing you asked about is pretty simple. You can just check out that place!""That place?"Fred turned around to see w
Marciella found herself nodding in agreement with Fred's harsh assessment. "You're spot on," she said. "That woman is nothing but vile!"Seeing Marciella's reaction, a rare smile crossed Fred's face as he nodded back. "Glad you see it my way," he said.What caught Fred off guard was the villagers' reaction. One by one, their faces turned ashen with despair.It seemed to them that nothing could be worse than the predicament they were facing. The absence of the witch spelled doom for the village—it was like their last shred of hope had vanished. They had all put their faith in her to charm the River God into blessing them with rain, which would have brought some peace to their troubled lives. However, now their chances seemed to have dried up just like their fields. Fred stood there, his face a mask of serenity amidst the chaos.In the moments that followed, the village chief was a picture of despair, his only option was to send everyone home while he racked his brain for a backup pl
"What?"Fred did not even have time to blink before the witch suddenly made a move.It was like a bomb went off.Kaboom!Then, she was dead!Fred dusted off his hands, even surprising himself with his lack of tolerance for the witch.Now, though, he had a real headache. He had planned to clear the air with the witch and lay out the past so everyone would know the full picture.He thought that might just turn things around.The situation changed when she vanished, and Fred's plans were completely derailed. Then again, changing the villagers' minds was not going to be a walk in the park anyway. They were pretty set in their ways, thanks to all the stuff they had been fed.As such, just talking it out might not cut it. Heck, it could even mess with history!With the witch out of the equation, Fred figured he might as well try a different tactic. Maybe if he took out the guy in the cloak and worked his own magic to bring some rain, it could save a lot of hassle. The more he thoug
"No way!"The witch bristled with defiance. She could not accept that she was no match for Fred.As she noticed Fred's focus was locked on her, a sly idea popped up in her mind.Before she could act on it, though, she found herself pinned against the wall by Fred in a flash...Her face contorted in disbelief. She was pinned so tightly that she could not even move!The witch was completely overpowered, her heart racing with panic.How could he be so much stronger than her?Fred, on the other hand, seemed unfazed."What's going through your head? You don't seriously think you can take me on, do you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The witch felt utterly trapped, as if at any second, Fred might just finish her off."Look, I messed up, okay? Can we not do this? I'm old, just a pile of brittle bones—I can't take this kind of rough treatment!" the witch pleaded with Fred, trying a new tactic to get through to him.Fred was not falling for it. He looked at her with a
"Heh, I caught on to you a while back, you know. You've been tailing me, and I'm pretty sure you're here for me. Plus, you don't have the look of someone from our village. That means you are an outsider, and I'm your target, right? Listen, man, we don't have any beef with each other, so why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"The witch had sensed the raw power rolling off Fred, and it was enough to send shivers down her spine!At that moment, she knew that challenging Fred was not going to be a walk in the park! If she had spotted him earlier in the forest, it would not have been good news for her. For starters, she had no clue how many tricks Fred had up his sleeve, and if he took her down, she and her buddy would be toast.However, the witch was not about to let Fred take her out without a fight! She racked her brain and finally settled on one strategy!She would try to sweet-talk him, hoping Fred would fall for her words just like everyone else, and fall into he
