Chapter 424 - Fusing The G.o.d Of Time’s Wheel Of Reversal

Tick! Tock! Tick!

Tick! Tock!

Tick!

Augustus' heart, which had once been alive, gradually stopped beating. He subconsciously closed his eyes and felt the decay of the holy relic on his body. His mind gradually became stiff.

Infinite time acceleration. That was the strongest move he could use at the cost of his life to drain the power of all the holy relics. Even if Watson was an invincible monster, it was impossible for him to live forever. As long as Watson's time was taken away, he would die of old age. No matter how strong Watson was, he would never be able to defeat him.

'This is the final act of mutual destruction. I had not planned to use it, but I didn't expect Watson to force me to take this step.. He is more powerful than me. What a pity.'

At the end of his life, Augustus felt a sense of regret. He did not regret not being able to defeat Watson, but that he was about to disappear. He probably would not have the chance to meet his father and grandfather again.

Augustus could not help but lower his head. He saw his father, Newman, who was crying into the sky, clenching his fists and roaring. If it were not for Freya and McGee, his father would have run out of the audience stand.

He also saw Armand, who had a lot more white hair and seemed to have aged dozens of years, slumped in his seat.

'Father, Grandfather, you saw it, right? You saw my strength, right? Even though I have burned out, is the light and heat that I emitted a moment ago as bright as a shooting star in the sky? Was it like the archon in ancient times?"

Although he was about to die, Augustus did not regret it because he had already accomplished one of the most glorious things in his life, dying with Watson. His name might be recorded in the annals of history, becoming an indelible stroke.

With no regrets, Augustus's face rapidly aged, and the holy relic metal that made up his body also rapidly aged. It looked like he was about to be weathered into a pile of yellow dirt for a long time.

At that moment, a familiar young voice rang in his ear.

"I say, if you drag me down with you, I will be very troubled! Although I'm sorry, but as you said just now, it's time to put an end to this battle."

Hearing that voice, Augustus could not help but raise his head and see a shocking scene. In front of him, Watson's beard and hair were all white, his body was bent, and his face was full of wrinkles. He was already an old man. Even though he was an old man who could be buried in the next second, Watson's eyes were still firm. He did not have any intention of giving up. Instead, he extended his right hand to Augustus.

Why?

He had clearly used time to corrode Watson's starlight-tier power. Why was Watson still able to resist? Other than that enormous power, what other ability did Watson have to have done that?

Augustus was puzzled. At that moment, he heard Watson say, "Fusion system, activate!"

Whoos.h.!.+

Augustus' holy relic that was dissipating into the wind came to a standstill with a m.u.f.fled sound. Time, which was constantly moving forward, stopped. Then, all the holy relics on his body turned into light and peeled from his body. They converged into a dilapidated longsword in front of Watson that was emitting the aura of time.

As the light converged, the dilapidated longsword suddenly burst with a dazzling light. The longsword that was rotating like the hands of a clock gradually turned into a wheel of light formed by sharp swords that floated behind Watson. Time, which had been advancing infinitely, suddenly retreated to its original point. The white-haired Watson's aged face returned to his tender appearance of 12 or 13 years old, and the ma.s.sive source of chaos-elemental magic in the sky appeared once again. It only appeared for a moment before returning to Watson's body.

Even though the double protective barrier that Antonio and Reid were desperately reinforcing had disappeared, and the ground, which had been riddled with holes due to the aftermath of the battle between him and Watson, had also returned to its original state, everything seemed to have returned to how it was before their fight.

"Phew! Fortunately, the fusion system was released in time. Otherwise, you would have really killed me! Augustus, I admit that you are really strong."

After returning everything to its original state, Watson spoke to Augustus in front of him.

Everything had returned except for Augustus. At that moment, Augustus's body had changed from its original state of being covered by the holy relic to an empty metal skeleton. Other than the metal skeleton used to support his body and the brain used to support his head, there was no other holy relic on his body.

Augustus did not even have a mouth, but Watson seemed to be able to hear his thoughts.

"Do you want to ask how I was able to defeat you in that situation just now? It's very simple—I had an easy way to win from the beginning, but I didn't use it because I wanted to give you a fair chance to fight."

From the moment Augustus fused with the diamond-tier holy relics, he had had no chance of winning against Watson. The young man, who had mastered the system fusion, could easily fuse the holy relics and turn it into his own power. The reason why he did not do that was exactly what he had said—he respected Augustus' desire to defeat him at all costs.

"I initially thought that after the compet.i.tion ended, I would ask His Majesty for some rewards and then use the Sacred Sword of Time that Marcus gave me to create a handy weapon! "I did not expect that during the compet.i.tion with Augustus, I would be able to gather the large number of holy relics that I needed."

In order to fight against him, the holy relics that Augustus had fused with were all top-notch among the diamond grades. There were more than fifty of them. That meant the weapon that Watson had fused was a peak starlight-tier weapon.

[Starlight-tier peak artifact: The G.o.d of Time's Wheel of Reversal.]

[This item is bound to the user's soul. It can't be stolen or lost.]

[Abilities: Absolute Acceleration (can allow time to spread forward at a speed of tens of millions of years, turning everything into decay), Absolute Reversal (can reverse the time of the target by a few minutes, or can reverse it to the time before birth, directly destroying it), Absolute Stillness (can make the entire world's time sink into stillness, only oneself can move freely), Illusion of Time (summons past and future self to come and fight with oneself, each summons is limited to one, the summoning time limit depends on one's own strength), Time Divine Kingdom (construct the divine Kingdom of Time that can cover everything within sight, the time within the kingdom is controlled by oneself).]

[Additional abilities: Time Explosion (detonates time at a certain location, causing stellar-level damage and causing the time at that location to fall into a long period of chaos), Sand of Time (the sand that symbolizes time and contains sealed time, allowing others to gain more time than they originally had), Complete Immunity (using the still time to block all damage), Eternal Life (never aging, not to mention dying).]

As his gaze landed on the light wheel behind him, information immediately appeared in Watson's eyes. The light wheel was layered on top of each other as if countless times had overlapped, and the blade-shaped needle within it was pulsating randomly. Every pulsation caused a layer of time aura to appear on Watson's body, causing his face to be at times tender and at times mature.

There was only one Watson standing in the air, but it was as if there were countless versions of him at different times.

'That weapon at the peak of starlight has completely exceeded my expectations! With that weapon, it's equivalent to me having extra time to cheat. If other people only spend a second, I might have already spent a year or even a hundred years, as long as I rely on that ability called the sand of time.'

Watson extended his right hand, and fine translucent grains of sand formed by time appeared in his hand. As those grains of sand entered his hand, Watson felt like his time had been lengthened countless times. Everything around him, whether it was the shocked expressions of the audience or the speed of the airflow, had been slowed down countless times.

After crus.h.i.+ng the grains of sand in his hand, time around Watson returned to normal, and he smiled.

Initially, what he lacked the most was time. That would change since he had the G.o.d of Time's Wheel of Reversal as a weapon. His time would be infinitely sufficient. It would even overflow.

'Other than the Sand of Time, that Illusion of Time is also sufficiently powerful. It can actually summon my past and future self.'

Needless to say, his past self was not as strong as his present self. His future self was extraordinary. One had to know that Watson had already reached the diamond tier in just a few years of cultivation. It was hard to imagine how strong he would be then if he could summon his future self a few years or even decades later.

'However, there is a limit to my future self summoning. I can only summon one at a time. Also, how strong the future self that I can summon will be determined based on my current strength.'

Thinking about it, Watson decided to give it a try. He activated his ability to summon his future self. The wheel of reversal behind him shook violently. Time Needles spun rapidly, opening a time door. The s.p.a.ce and time around the door became chaotic, and a slender finger stretched out from it.

It was just a finger, but it had a weight that the entire world could not bear. Watson could clearly feel the power contained in the finger. It was ten times stronger than the combined power of his magic source and Augustus' Void Relic.

Before the palm connected to the finger appeared, Watson quickly cut off the power supply to prevent the energy in his body from being sucked dry.

'That was close. I only summoned for less than a second, and the energy in my body was about to run out! And I only summoned my future self ten years later. I did not expect it to consume so much energy. It seems that if I want to summon it in the future, I have to summon it for a shorter period of time.'

Watson was deep in thought. Just as he was about to try out the other abilities of the Wheel of Reversal, a sudden cheer from below interrupted his train of thought.

"He's too strong. He actually broke through the rapidly pa.s.sing time and returned. He even took the holy relic from Augustus and turned it into his own. What kind of ability is that?"

One of the audience stared blankly at the sky. In his eyes, the battle between Watson and Augustus just now was after Augustus used the time to turn the source of chaos-elemental magic in Watson's body into decay. The entire sky was suffused with the smell of decay. When Augustus and Watson were about to turn into dust in the rapid flow of time, Watson suddenly unleashed his power and s.n.a.t.c.hed the holy relics on Augustus's body. He even reversed time.

Regardless of whether it was the clash between Augustus and Watson's divine kingdom, or the clash between starlight-tier powers, every scene was exceptionally wonderful. It was as if the match they were watching was not a battle between the geniuses of the kingdom but a battle between people at their peak.

"After watching that battle, I feel like we can brag about it for the rest of their lives."

"That's right. Who would have thought that there would be two geniuses of that level in the Holy Dragon Kingdom? Two of them!"

"What a pity. After that match, the holy relics on Augustus' body were removed. His strength should have been greatly reduced. Furthermore, if Augustus' mentality did not change after he was defeated, it would be very difficult for him to achieve anything in the future."

The group of people discussed enthusiastically. Most of them were in awe of Watson's strength, while some felt pity for Augustus.

'My child, Augustus, is not dead. It's good that he's not dead.'

Newman stared at the thin skeleton in the sky. Only the remains of Augustus' brain remained. He let out a sigh of relief, then abruptly stood up and berated the Campbell family guards who were responsible for protecting him. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get my son, Augustus!"

When he saw that Augustus and Watson were about to die, he was really nervous. He did not expect Watson to be so powerful. He had won against Augustus, who had been modified to such an extent that—Watson had become a monster.

When Watson finally won, he was more grateful than disappointed.

Fortunately, Watson had won, or he would have lost his son forever. Glory and achievement could be gained if he worked hard while alive, but Augustus would have nothing if he had lost his life. Newman used to believe that glory was more significant than life. However, he had changed his mind.

It was not until the moment when his son was really going to die that he understood what he truly desired.

"Yes, Master Newman."

The guards looked at the sky and swallowed their saliva. After taking a deep breath, they suddenly flew upward, their eyes filled with excitement.

Although they had lost the battle, in their eyes, their young master's defeat was glorious. At the very least, Augustus could fight Watson to the extent that the sky and earth would collapse. If their opponent was not Watson, if it was any other genius in the capital, it was probably impossible for them to be their young master's opponent. In their hearts, Augustus was already a very outstanding genius.

Especially when he was fighting Watson—Augustus had clearly fallen into a disadvantage, yet he had forcefully burned his own life. He had used that as a price to launch an attack of infinite time forward. That fearless scene caused them to be greatly shocked; they were in awe.

"Augustus had so many holy relics on his body, yet he still failed. What a good-for-nothing! The Campbell family suffered a great loss this time. Not only did they lose their honor, but they also lost their wealth." When McGee looked at Augustus, who was only a skeleton, he could not help but ridicule him. He did not say anything during the battle just now, but he could not help but add insult to injury after that.

"Eldest Brother, from now on, Augustus and I will withdraw from the compet.i.tion for any future positions in the family. As for the holy relics, I will bear the loss." Newman did not get angry at McGee's sarcasm; instead, he responded calmly.

"Now you know to back down?" McGee was stunned for a moment as if he did not expect Newman to say that. After a long while, he sneered, "Knowing that you have made a big mistake and do not have the strength to continue competing for the position of the family head, you want to do me a favor before you withdraw? Newman, you must be dreaming! Augustus has been transformed into a puppet. It is meaningless to partic.i.p.ate in that kind of battle. It is just a waste of the family's resources. If a person is strong enough, he will endure it. If he is not strong enough, he will end up like that if he still wants to stand out. Father is the same. He even agreed to Augustus' request. It seems that he is too old and muddle-headed."

"Eldest Brother, stop talking. Can't you see that Second Brother is already very sad? Furthermore, it is not Augustus' fault. Although he has failed, I don't think that the Campbell family's reputation will decline."

Freya took the opportunity to interject. "Look at the expressions of the people around us. Do you really think that Augustus' battle is meaningless?"

McGee looked around. He noticed that many of the n.o.blemen around him were paying attention to the Campbell family's area. Sensing McGee's gaze, those n.o.blemen took off their top hats and bowed respectfully. Some even said, "As expected of the Campbell family, they have created an unprecedented model for the kingdom's puppets."

Some people also said, "It turns out that not only can puppets be used to guard the house, but they can also be so powerful. They are not inferior to Sword Saint Reid's strategic weaponry. It seems that the Campbell family will be able to raise the kingdom's national strength to a new level in the future.".

McGee opened his mouth, unable to make a sound. Freya, who was beside him, had a complicated expression on her face. She said, "Eldest Brother, do you still think that what you thought just now was right? At least in my opinion, Augustus' actions did not bring shame to our family. On the contrary, it made the Campbell family famous in the capital. He is our family's hero."

"Whatever you say. Anyway, the compet.i.tion is over. I have to go back."

McGee's lips moved. After saying those harsh words, he turned around and left with an unsightly expression.

On the other side...

"The battle has finally ended. I did not expect Augustus to develop dozens of holy relics to the extreme and still lose to Watson! By the way, what was Watson's final ability to fuse holy relics? Was it some kind of magic?"

Douglas took off his monocle and could not help but wipe his sweat. The battle just now had made him so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat.

"I don't know what that is. I only know that if we b.u.mp into Watson in the ensuing battles, then we must admit defeat! No, we'd better not partic.i.p.ate in the following matches. We might as well just return to our kingdom." Ash smiled bitterly.

"Princess Ash, I have the same idea! After we confirm with the two envoys, we'll leave the capital."

The Holy Dragon Kingdom was too terrifying. They wanted to go home.

At another audience stand, Kiana stood up and shook the hem of her long dress. Her eyes were burning. "It's finally over. As expected of my future husband, he won easily! Let me welcome him and let Father announce our marriage."

"Wait a moment, Kiana. This is only the second round of the compet.i.tion, not the final compet.i.tion. It's not Father's turn to announce the winner yet. Don't be rash."

The three princes hurried to catch up to her. Although that was not the final battle, it was close. They did not believe that there was anyone who could surpa.s.s Watson or Augustus.

"Your Majesty, since the battle is over, we will take our leave."

The two Winter Nation envoys stood up awkwardly and bowed respectfully to King Landhar III. Initially, they had a natural sense of superiority toward the people of the Sacred Dragon Kingdom; even the King was nothing to them. They had wanted to show off in front of the King.

However, in the end, it looked like they were the clown. On the contrary, when they watched the compet.i.tion between Watson and Augustus, they were so scared that they spilled the wine in their gla.s.ses. If someone had told them about the genius of the Holy Dragon Kingdom before, just the scene of the battle alone was enough to make them forget themselves. They would definitely scoff at it. However, right now, they only wanted to leave that place as soon as possible.

"It seems that the two of you are in a hurry to leave. It seems that you have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won't be seeing you off."

King Landhar III raised the wine cup in his hand and shook it at the two envoys. After seeing the two envoys leave, he held the wine cup and laughed loudly, "That is the Winter Nation and their people. They really disappoint me! Compared to Watson, they are nothing. Today, I'm really very happy."

To be able to see the genius of his own country display his might and scare the envoys of other countries to the point of peeing their pants, there was nothing more exciting than that.

'As expected, I did not misjudge Watson. No, I should say that I underestimated him too much! He grabbed the holy relic on the other party's body and turned it into his own. Looking at the aura emitted by the weapon Watson created, it was probably at the level of starlight. He could clearly have done that from the start, but Watson did not take action. Was it because he wanted to hide that ability, but because Augustus was too strong, he had no choice but to reveal it, or—'

King Landhar III's eyes sparkled as he fell into deep thought.

Without a doubt, being able to create a starlight-tier weapon was the power that the G.o.ds sought. He did not want to give Watson to the G.o.ds for free, and now, King Landhar III did not want to give Watson to the G.o.ds for free. If he could obtain that power from Watson, he could turn the kingdom into the strongest kingdom on the continent and achieve unity. When he became a G.o.d, it would not be difficult for him to enter the world where the G.o.ds resided and become the overlord of a region.

'The plan will proceed according to the original plan, but the speed of the descent of the G.o.ds will have to be faster! Before that, I still have to find Watson and reward him properly.'

It was unknown what he had thought of, but King Landhar III revealed a light smile. He walked to the window and announced to the outside with a voice that had been expanded by magic, "The second round of the compet.i.tion has ended perfectly. All 26 partic.i.p.ants have completed the compet.i.tion. The third and final round of the compet.i.tion will be held at the Royal Academy at the same time a day later. I will give all the partic.i.p.ants time to rest. At the same time, I will also give all the spectators a chance to vote. You will be the ones to choose which three partic.i.p.ants to resurrect! The top 16 geniuses will be selected the next day."

Then, there was a burst of cheers from the outside. After seeing the unexpected battle today, many people were looking forward to the next fight.

Seeing that scene, the corner of King Landhar III's mouth rose, and he continued to say, "As the last contestant in that compet.i.tion, Watson, please see me in the room later."

'His Majesty summoned Watson alone? Is there something important?' Many of the audience guessed in their hearts.

'Perhaps Watson's performance was too outstanding, so His Majesty is prepared to reward him.'

Watson flew toward the floating room. That scene left a deep impression on many people's minds. Initially, they only thought Watson was lucky. He had entered the finals because of his dumb luck. However, at that moment, they understood that it was not luck, though his opponent was lucky. Otherwise, those people would have been eliminated a long time ago if they met Watson in a fight. At that moment, Watson, who was carrying the light wheel and had layers of illusions appearing around him, was just like the G.o.d of Time. It was hard to imagine that he was just a child in his teens.

While everyone was sighing, Watson had already entered the room where King Landhar III was and arrived in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you were looking for me?"

"Watson, you did well this time. To be honest, you have completely exceeded my expectations in every aspect." King Landhar III's back was facing Watson, and his voice was filled with profound meaning.

Those words made Watson's heart thump. He knew that he had displayed a lot of power in that battle. He could no longer keep those secrets from King Landhar III, but there was nothing he could do. He really could not go along with Augustus' belief that he wanted to defeat him. Furthermore, it had been a long time since he had a satisfying battle after advancing to diamond-tier. That battle had allowed him to see his own strength clearly.

Even if he had been exposed a little, he had gained a lot. Overall, he had earned a lot.

"Your Majesty, do you think that I performed well in that battle, so you want to give me a reward?" Watson gathered his thoughts and asked tentatively.

"Watson, do you know what I particularly admire about you? It's that shameless part of you that is very similar to when I was young."

King Landhar III turned around with a strange expression and pointed at the light wheel behind Watson. He said, "The weapon behind you was made by you using the Campbell family's holy relics. Is the principle the same as when you make a platinum-tier weapon? Regardless of whether it's the same or not, you did not tell me beforehand that you were able to make a starlight-tier weapon. That is your first crime. After fusing the Campbell family's weapon, you took it for yourself. That is your second crime. After the battle, you did not take the initiative to look for me. That is your third crime. In order to prevent you from having a conflict with the Campbell family in the future because of that weapon, I will keep it for you."

King Landhar III did not hide his desire for that peak starlight-tier weapon that Watson had fused. During the battle with Watson, he discovered that Reid and Antonio's strength had increased a lot compared to before, and that increase in power did not come from their tiers but the weapons in their hands.

Someone had forged a starlight-tier weapon for them, and it was apparent who that was.

King Landhar III had been exceptionally excited when he knew that Watson could ma.s.s-produce platinum-tier weapons. Watson was like a bottomless pit. The deeper he dug, the more precious the treasure he found.

"Your Majesty, that is a weapon I made for myself. If you want it, I can make another one for you, and—"

Watson hesitated for a moment and complained in his heart that King Landhar III was shameless. He did not receive any rewards for winning the battle, and instead, the King had wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the benefits from him.

"But what? You can't try to lie in front of me, and you promised to work for me, so your things are mine. Whether that weapon is made for you or not, it's not too much for me to help keep it, right?"

King Landhar III gave a look that told Watson to provide him with a reasonable explanation, or he would take the weapon forcefully.

"But Your Majesty, after I made that weapon, it seemed to be bound to my soul. Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it."

Is there such a thing?

"If you don't believe me, I'll give it to Your Majesty to try now."

Watson took off the Wheel of Reversal and handed it to King Landhar III. After it entered his hand, it stopped moving. It did not emit any powerful auras. It was like a sculpture carved from ordinary stone, completely broken.

After letting go, the Wheel of Reversal in King Landhar III's hand immediately recovered its aura of time. Then, King Landhar III grabbed it and watched as it turned into a mortal object. After a few attempts, King Landhar III let go, regretfully allowing the Wheel of Reversal to return to Watson's back and turn into a flickering clock pointer. It kept turning as the King sighed regretfully.

"It seems that I have no fate with that treasure. Watson, you just said that you could create a similar treasure for me. I wonder if you were lying?"

"Of course not. But if I want to create a weapon of that level, it also depends on luck. Furthermore, I need a large number of holy relics. Your Majesty, please don't expect too much."

"Really? It seems like I have been happy for nothing. Oh, right, when I was with Antonio and Reid, I saw that their weapons seemed pretty good. I don't know if they can replace the holy relics. If I use their weapons as materials to create weapons, can the success rate be increased?"

"No, my two masters' weapons are not holy relics. They are—"

Seeing that King Landhar III was targeting his two masters, Watson quickly defended himself. Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and shut his mouth. Unfortunately, it was too late.

"If they are not holy relics, then what are they? Could they be starlight-tier weapons of the same level? Watson, didn't you say that it takes luck to make such weapons? You are full of lies. I just told you not to lie. It seems that you don't take my words seriously." King Landhar III's tone became low as he sneered.

If one starlight-tier weapon was a coincidence, what about the three starlight-tier weapons that appeared simultaneously? Was it also a coincidence? Watson must have some kind of method to make starlight-tier weapons, but he did not tell him. Did he really think he was a fool?

"Alright, Your Majesty, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it anymore. I can make starlight-tier weapons, indeed! Of course, that is my innate ability. I can't pa.s.s it on to others."

"Don't worry. I don't have any thoughts of coveting your ability. Even if your ability is only usable by yourself, as long as I get you to use it, that's enough! Other than the ability to make starlight-tier weapons, do you still have a way to increase a person's strength quickly?"

As he thought about Christina's stunning performance in the previous battle, King Landhar III could not help but ask.

"Yes, I do."

"Watson, didn't I say that you should not hide anything from me? Tell me the truth, what else do you know?" If he had not directed such a match, he would not have known that Watson knew so many things. Watson had hidden too many things from him.

"Your Majesty, I don't know anymore; that is all of them."

"Is that so? Don't let me find out that you know other abilities. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as I don't show it to you, Your Majesty, you won't know what I know."

"Watson, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, are you trying to annoy me to my death?"

Even though he was the ruler of a kingdom and had an extraordinary temperament, at that moment, he could not help but be angered by Watson. His blood boiled as he slammed the table in front of him.

Watson was unmoved by that. He only stuck out his tongue discreetly and thought to himself that it would be great if he could anger the King to his death with such a small matter. He would not need to trouble himself.

King Landhar III waved his hand impatiently. "Get lost, Watson. When I have gathered enough holy relics, I will summon you again. At that time, you will obediently go to the palace to make starlight-tier weapons for me. Don't provoke me like that again."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave first."

Watson bowed and was about to leave the room when the door was suddenly pushed open. The kingdom's princess, Kiana, rushed into the room. When she saw Watson, she said excitedly, "Watson, I have been looking for you for a long time. So, you are here." Then, she noticed King Landhar III in front of her. She restrained her excited expression and walked up to him, kneeling on one knee.

"Greetings, Father."

"Father."

Three other princes followed behind Kiana. They looked at Watson with strange expressions and also knelt in front of King Landhar III to greet him.

"I remember that I only summoned Watson. Who allowed you to come?" When King Landhar III faced his children, he put on a completely different face than when he faced Watson. His face was dark. The only thing missing was the words fierce and terrifying written on his face.

All his children tremble. Kiana bit her lips before she stood up and went to King Landhar III's side. She threw herself into his arms. "I'm sorry, Father. I wanted to see you. Furthermore, I have something I want to talk to you about. I can't wait any longer! As for my brothers, they are here to stop me. Don't blame them."

"Kiana, what do you have to say to me?"

King Landhar III's expression was still serious, but it had softened.

Watson watched everything from the side and quietly walked out of the room. It was better for him to stay out of King Landhar III's family matters. For some reason, he had a bad feeling when he saw Kiana.

Before he reached the door of the room, Kiana, who was hugging King Landhar III and acting coquettishly, suddenly turned her head in his direction and pointed at him with a coy smile. "Father, I like that young man called Watson. Can you marry me to him? Now, immediately, immediately!"

What the h.e.l.l?

Watson stood petrified on the spot. He had noticed that the princess had been looking at him at the banquet. At that time, he thought that the princess was asking him for help, but it turned out that she had liked him. However, he had only made a few eye contacts with that princess. He did not think that he could attract her.

"Kiana, you and Watson have just met, right? What do you like about him?" King Landhar III was also very confused.

"Father, how can you let a girl say those things in front of the person she likes." Kiana was bashful in King Landhar III's arms, and she blushed, not daring to look at Watson. "What do I like about Watson? It's probably because of his powerful strength. His shoulders are strong, his face is like an iron wall, and his skin is impenetrable. Even the weapon on his back emits a powerful force. That smooth line looks really s.e.xy."

"Your Highness, are you sure that is a compliment?"

Watson was puzzled. Who would praise someone who said that a person's face was like an iron wall and that their skin was impenetrable? Did she mean he was thick-skinned? Furthermore, Kiana also praised the weapon on his back for being s.e.xy. Using such words to praise a weapon—she might be ill.

Watson, who was not interested in marrying the princess and only wanted to obtain the qualifications to become the king, was even less interested in the princess in front of him then.

'No Wonder the King wanted the winner to marry the princess. I thought that seemed out of character for him. But it looks like the Princess is sick. That is the only way for her to get married.'
