Chapter 525 The creature of the abyss, its name is Titan.
The deathly aura dissipated like the receding tide!
Marius, lying in the cold coffin, had a vibrant flush return to his pale face, and his chest rose and fell, emitting a faint heartbeat.
Defying common sense! A reversal of life and death! This breathtaking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The spacious hall fell into a deathly silence, as if a collective petrification spell had been cast, and everyone stood frozen in place.
Their gazes were drawn in unison to the ancient blade of Roy's sword, where a fang emanated a warm and mysterious aura.
The legendary resurrection item!
After the battle with the Black Dragon, the resurrected "hero" Finn, along with more than two hundred adventurers, and those who had previously conquered the underworld, led people to suspect that Roy possessed the ability to resurrect others. At this moment, a concept that was almost a miracle was presented to them!
A chilling and feverish feeling, originating from the depths of their souls, surged through everyone's nerves like an electric current.
Aside from the eternal and immortal gods, who can help but fear death? Who can help but yearn for immortality? Countless people have strived toward this goal, fighting their entire lives, but in the end, only the "wise man" Fels has succeeded.
Now we have to add Roy to the list!
The knife was in Roy's hand, but no one dared to take it from him. The members of the emerging faction served as a cautionary tale, and no one could snatch it from Roy's hand.
Just as everyone was in shock, Marius slowly opened his tightly closed eyelids.
Those eyes, which had just returned from the abyss of death, revealed a trace of confusion and bewilderment as they caught sight of Roy standing there with his knife.
All the confusion and worry vanished without a trace in that instant.
"call!"
A long, relieved breath escaped Marius's lips. With the village as the bond and the kingdom as the sincerity, he had finally moved Roy. He had won this huge gamble, and the prize was unbelievably rich, far exceeding his expectations. Even he himself had been resurrected by Roy.
"Greetings, Your Highness Marius!"
The kingdom's nobles and officials fell one after another.
Marius's resurrection plunged the emerging faction into utter despair, their last desperate struggle failing, leaving them dejected one after another.
The final outcome was no longer in doubt.
Marius ordered the execution of all rebels, including several LV.5 adventurers whom the kingdom had nurtured with countless resources.
This result was unexpected by everyone, especially those LV.5s. They dared to cause trouble simply because they were the highest-level adventurers ever born in the kingdom's history.
Therefore, they are fearless.
Who would be willing to kill a level 5 adventurer?
Today, Roy and Marius told them that so what if they were level 5 adventurers? They could kill them in one hit and not even feel bad about it.
Roy looked at Marius with a hint of approval. He was decisive and swift in eliminating hidden dangers. Whether governing a country or dealing with people, one must be outwardly benevolent and righteous, but inwardly ruthless and decisive, in order to survive in this world where force reigns supreme.
The fact that he needs to take action is the best proof of that.
"Thanks!"
Marius sincerely thanked Roy.
Without Roy, the kingdom's power would definitely be stolen by these madmen, and then it would be irreversible.
This incident was entirely due to Marius's miscalculation. The people he sent to Orario were given generous resettlement allowances and the trump card of the chief god of the clan. He thought that this would be enough to keep these people in check.
Who could have imagined that Ares and the other party would hit it off so easily? The surge in power also fueled the other party's ambition.
"Just a quick thing!" Roy replied.
thump!
The guards loyal to Marius rushed forward and mercilessly chopped off the heads of the emerging faction members. Those people, still carrying Roy's lightning within them, were paralyzed and had no ability to resist.
There were also subordinate relatives who colluded with him.
In an instant, countless heads fell to the ground in the hall, blood flowed like a river, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. This was the cruel reality of political struggle, a fight to the death.
Several deities were also sent back to the heavens, and a dazzling white beam of light pierced the sky.
The kingdom's nobles and officials felt pleased at the sight, but also regretful, as the kingdom had expended countless resources to cultivate those few dozen new factions.
With their deaths, everything vanished.
Ares cried out in anguish, for that was the capital he used to wage war and conquer other countries.
Only Marius maintained a good mindset because he had obtained a stronger, even the strongest, trump card.
"call!"
Marius took a deep breath and proclaimed loudly, "In the name of Marius Viktoria, heir to the kingdom, I declare that Roy is the Regent of the Kingdom of Lachia, possessing the power to manage all affairs and elect the king, a power that will be passed down through generations, enduring as long as the kingdom exists!"
The nobles and officials in the hall widened their eyes instantly. Even if Roy had done a good job in suppressing the rebellion, this power was too exaggerated. They originally thought that Roy's role as regent was temporary, but it turned out to be a long-term commitment, lasting until the kingdom's destruction, deeply bound to him.
But upon closer examination, it's hard to say who actually benefited from this situation.
Roy is one of only two LV.9 adventurers in the world. It might be impossible for him to establish a country overnight, but destroying a country is as easy as eating and drinking. He is a veritable human nuclear bomb.
With Roy's protection, even if the kingdom has offended countless forces by waging wars, they will be wary of Roy and dare not retaliate.
Correspondingly, Roy held a supreme position and power within the Kingdom of Lachia.
"Your Excellency Regent, you won't object, will you?" Marius asked somewhat nervously, needing to ask Roy's opinion no matter what.
"Can."
Roy gave Marius a long look.
Upon hearing this, the kingdom's nobles, officials, and Marius were all overjoyed. Overall, having Roy as their patron was more beneficial than harmful.
The people in the kingdom almost jumped up to pop the champagne.
Roy abruptly changed the subject, "But—if the kingdom does anything that dishonors the name of justice, the Astrea Familia will immediately become your enemy!"
Roy's words swept through the entire area like a cold wind, as if frost had frozen in the air, chilling the kingdom's fervent crowd to the bone.
This is an undisguised warning and threat!
Roy represents not only himself, but also the "righteous" Astria Familia. If the Kingdom of Lachia abuses his reputation, Roy will be the first to strike and destroy the entire kingdom.
This was also a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, something the kingdom's inhabitants were acutely aware of.
Having resolved the power struggle crisis in the kingdom, Marius handled the remaining trivial matters, and Roy took the opportunity to return to his village, a triumphant homecoming.
"Roy, welcome back!"
"Roy, defeating the black dragon was amazing!"
"Brother Roy, I want to watch the stars with you!"
Using his spatial imperial artifact to teleport to the vicinity, Roy had just appeared at the village entrance when word spread like wildfire, and villagers poured out, crowding the village.
At first glance, the villagers' faces were filled with excitement, their bodies trembling with joy. Their impoverished little village had actually produced the strongest adventurer, a hero who would slay the black dragon and save the world!
Roy's name will surely be recorded in history and remembered for thousands of years, and his village will also benefit from it, as will every single villager.
In this respect, they have surpassed any king or general, all thanks to Roy.
"Lord Roy, I want to have your babies!"
Before long, the most beautiful girls from the surrounding villages came running over. They were stunningly beautiful, with alluring figures, and accompanied by a fragrant breeze, they frantically flirted with Roy.
Even just having a slight connection with Roy is enough to drive anyone crazy. If something unspeakable were to happen and she were to give birth to a child for this strongest hero, she would instantly reach the pinnacle of life.
-
"Need not!
'
At this time, Roy will temporarily become blind, as he did in Orario.
These girls are all nice, but they can't compare to Ryu, Astrea, and Alphia in terms of looks, figure, and temperament.
They were completely different in every way, and more importantly, there was no emotional foundation between them.
Roy's indifference made the girls extremely upset.
In most legends, great heroes were never turned down by beautiful women, and throughout their lives, they had at least hundreds of offspring.
But it seems Roy is not like that, causing the girls great distress. Why isn't this hero so promiscuous? And this feeling of unrequited love makes their madness for Roy even more intense.
Freya shared this sentiment.
This has created a peculiar phenomenon: within and outside Orario, opinions on Roy are completely opposite.
The gods, adventurers, and people of Orario all call Roy the Harem King, the new era's Sea King, and Little Zeus—while outside of Orario, there's "This Man Is Popular But Too Devoted"!
"Brother Roy, I want to be an adventurer too, and become as powerful as you!" said the chubby, snotty-nosed little boy while munching on a meat pie.
Roy was speechless. "First, lose those few dozen pounds of fat. There are many adventurers with a strong and robust physique, like Ota, but purely fat people are extremely rare. Excess fat will affect speed and agility."
The villagers in front of them could be roughly divided into three groups: first, the village belle who wanted to have sex with Roy; second, the middle-aged and elderly people who didn't have much ambition, as the wealth Roy brought was enough for them to live a life of comfort; and third, the young and passionate teenagers who looked at Roy with longing and admiration, as well as a deep desire, fantasizing that they would also achieve such success.
"Yes, it will succeed!"
Roy stroked the heads of these boys and girls; their eyes were clear and innocent, just like those of the little Bell he had just met.
But they hadn't realized what becoming an adventurer meant—it meant being cannon fodder. The example was right before their eyes: the Kingdom of Lachia had paid a heavy price in resources and lives to cultivate even a few dozen high-level adventurers.
Only a very small number of people succeed; most adventurers die in the dungeons and become food for monsters.
Roy didn't say much. If someone wanted to become an adventurer, he would provide them with beginner equipment and a guidebook. Beyond that, he wouldn't do anything else. He would at most protect this village for two or three generations, and after that, he wouldn't have any feelings for it anymore.
His gentle gaze fell on the village chief's family.
During this time, Roy used his spatial imperial artifact to travel back and forth between Orario, the royal capital, and the village.
King's capital.
Marius stopped Roy as he was about to leave. "Roy, there's something I want to tell you."
"What?" Roy stopped in his tracks.
"You're about to explore the uncharted territories of the dungeon, aren't you?" Marius asked.
"The news has reached here—" Roy murmured. It seems the guild's propaganda work has been very effective. The next step is a full mobilization to avoid danger.
Roy: "And then?"
"Perhaps I can provide you with some intelligence about your enemies," Marius said.
Roy looked at the other person with great interest.
"When the Black Dragon's magic stone was exposed, it contained nine gods—at that time, I heard—the soliloquy of Ares, whose names were Coeus, Crios, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys," Marius said.
He then continued, "They also seem to share a common name: the Twelve Titans!"
"Twelve?" Roy asked appropriately, sounding puzzled.
"Um!
'
Marius nodded emphatically. "Only nine gods were devoured by the black dragon. There are three more gods, and according to my speculation, they may be in the dungeon. Then there is Lord Ares's angry voice."
"What are the names of the remaining Titans?"
Orario, a meeting of the various clans.
Many influential figures were present, including familiar faces such as Finn, Otto, Hedin, Bell, Asif, and Tsubaki Cobrand.
Roy laughed, "Don't be nervous. You're the leader of the Hestia Familia. Recently, the Familia was rated A-rank by the guild, so you're qualified to attend this kind of meeting!"
Although the Hestia Familia has a small number of members, the presence of Bel, a Level 6 adventurer, and his demonstration of strength in the Black Dragon War, has greatly increased the family's reputation, causing it to jump several levels and become second only to the top few clans.
"Mr. Roy, I'm still not quite used to it."
Bell felt uncomfortable being in the same room as those renowned adventurers, but luckily there were many familiar faces, such as Roy, Professor Leon, and Alphia who came to support him.
Alphia sat quietly on the edge, her eyes closed, elegant and dignified, but the warning she exuded was very clear: anyone who dared to bully her nephew would be met with a sonic bombardment!
Faced with this witch's capricious attacks, even LV.8 Ota and Leon would probably be unable to withstand it.
The meeting began and quickly got down to business.
"Of the nine Titans devoured by the Black Dragon, the remaining three are hidden in the abyss. Their names are Oceanus, Rhea, and Cronus. This is the information provided by Ares," Finn said.
"Yes, yes!"
Roy became a ruthless nodding machine; all this information came from Ares and had nothing to do with him. He knew nothing!
