Chapter 655: Fusing The Life Court
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Starry hell!”
Watson summoned the strongest ability of the five-in-one race chess piece as soon as he made his move. A hell far larger than the green lightning divine spear conjured by Orianna arrived. A nebula formed the boundary of that hell. It had multiple star domains, and each one was flowing with a murky color that drove people insane. Every nook and cranny of the star realm was strewn with armaments resembling antimatter cannons. Cannonballs and flames were emitted from various locations at all times. There were bizarre and scary creatures of hell floating in the space where there was no fear of cannonballs. Killing intent could be found everywhere.
That hell was purely made of lethal weapons. Whether it was the weapons inside or just the environment alone, it was enough to give ordinary gods a headache.
The Green Lightning Divine Spear was promptly covered after the advent of the star prison. The Green Lightning Divine Spear, which appeared to be immensely powerful, quickly dimmed due to the corrosive effects of different energies in the star prison. Orianna, too, began to wail in agony. At that moment, the green lightning-shaped dragons near Orianna roared as well, as if they had been afflicted by varying degrees of mental pollution.
“Fusion system, activate!”
Watson used his fusion power against the astral prison. The astral prison’s many formidable weapons combined in midair, and the antimatter guns fused to form an even greater cannon barrel. Antimatter cannonballs fired from within obliterated the emptiness, leaving lengthy marks in it. The frightening beasts assumed to be Hell’s creatures were also fused, rising from the initial platinum and diamond-tier to starlight-tier. The number of those monsters was difficult to estimate, but it was at least 100,000.
Aside from that, the turbid colors that indicated mental pollution in the astral prison merged. Orianna’s body flooded in turbid colors, leading her to cover her head in misery. The green heart formed by the life court in the empty chest could not hold together and broke apart.
The Prison of Stars—that was the strongest skill that Watson had mastered with five-in-one chess pieces. The power released by a single race chess piece was already at the level of a sovereign-tier elite, not to mention five chess pieces combined. Moreover, the fusion system had already surpassed an ordinary sovereign-tier elite. Even if Orianna’s strength increased to a sovereign-tier elite under the power of the race chess pieces, she would not be able to stop it.
The green heart shattered, and Orianna lost the ability to resist. She spat out blood and flew back hundreds of meters into the air.
Watson extended his palm, and the strength of his numerous magical power sources united to form a multicolored holy sword. Holding the divine blade that was thousands of meters long, he shot through the air at breakneck speed toward Orianna. The long sword slashed through and passed Orianna’s body. Orianna’s corpse flew even further, and a green dragon-shaped chess piece flew out of her body and into Watson’s palm.
Holding the dragon chess piece, Watson did not fuse it immediately because he noticed a green figure in the distance. Nidhogg condensed as a green figure in the air, holding Orianna in his arms.
Nidhogg was not wearing his regular clown makeup at the time. He appeared to be a gorgeous man with fair skin.
Many soldiers from the Kingdom of Kings planned to attack Orianna, but Watson stopped them with a wave of his hand.
“Why did you do that, Orianna? You could have avoided Watson’s onslaught, but you chose to face it head-on. Do you want to die?”
Nidhogg appeared to be mourning as he held Orianna’s body, rapidly becoming cold.
“That is my choice, Nidhogg. I do not hold anyone responsible. In the era of the divine battle, I utilized that power too many times to save the dragons, causing my emotions and heart to be sacrificed to the Court of Life!” Orianna said, stretching out her right hand with effort. “I have brought the dragon race to the divine realm for all those years, but I am not pleased. After losing my heart, I am not sure what happiness is. I know you chose to stay in the small world rather than follow me to the divine realm back then because you resented me for killing too many creatures, including the dragons. Believe me, none of that was my aim.”
“Orianna...”
“Do not say anything. Listen carefully to what I am saying. I do not have much time! I once asked you if you were willing to accompany me when I left the small world. You said that you wanted to wait until there were no more disputes in the world and until all the races in the divine realm were unified; I wanted to be that person. You appear to have found that person now. That youth can control five chess pieces at the same time. He must be able to collect all the race chess pieces, for he is also carrying the Supreme Divine Artifact.”
Orianna looked in Watson’s direction, and a hint of relief appeared on her pale face. “That’s why I chose to give him the dragon race chess piece. The dragon race chess piece has a power that is very close to the life source. That chess piece will definitely become the cornerstone of his extraordinary career! I believe in you. Since it’s someone you like, I also choose to believe in you. It’s great. It’s really great to be able to say so much at the last moment of my life and to be able to regain my heart. As expected, compared to the powerful Dragon God, I want to be an ordinary girl with richer emotions.”
Orianna closed her eyes as soon as she finished speaking. Her body began to fracture inch by inch from her head, evaporating as green light patches.
Nidhogg wanted to grab onto something tightly, but he missed.
In ancient times, Orianna, who was still the Dragon God, made a terrible decision to win the race war. She used the dragon race chess piece’s power to offer her heart to the life court. She merged with the universe’s life source and gained unrivaled strength.
Nidhogg, the dragon race’s number one warrior, disagreed. He merely needed to get enough water from the Spring of Life to acquire eternal life. That was why he kept biting the World Tree’s roots. He merely needed to keep winning and killing all the adversaries in front of him if he wished to win against other races. That was why he killed with ferocity.
However, Orianna made a decision that he could not understand. He could not figure out why he yelled that he was tired of murder. He eventually dragged his damaged body and crawled across the small world, becoming a dragon who despised it.
He had thought about meeting Orianna again, but he did not expect that at the time. He had many things he wanted to say to Orianna, but she was no longer there.
“I’m sorry.”
Watson had approached him at some time, his eyes filled with remorse.
“You do not have to apologize to me, Your Majesty Watson. I had already recognized you as my king from the moment you became the Dragon Emperor, and Orianna made that decision voluntarily! If you want to point fingers, point them at the chess pieces. There would not have been as much slaughter in this world if the race chess pieces had not existed. Orianna would not have perished if all races had lived in peace. So, I beg you to collect all the race chess pieces and become the divine realm’s king, the king of all races!”
Nidhogg gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee before Watson.
“So, that is why Nidhogg chose to stay in our world rather than leave.” Not far away, Odyssey, the Light Dragon King who had died due to the cosmic fragment’s explosion, was reborn with a complex look on his face.
The other Dragon Kings were revived one by one beside him. “No wonder he refused to tell us about the Dragon God when we asked him about it,” Rita groaned. Even the dragon race chess piece was swept aside. He has been subjected to far too much suffering.”
“Not only Nidhogg but even the Dragon God must have been overburdened. She gave up her heart in order to gain enormous power. Over the years, the Dragon God must have been torn between the feelings of the dragons and the race’s interests.”
“I was first concerned that if the Dragon God and Young Master Watson had a disagreement, the dragon race might break off. Who should we assist? We no longer need to feel conflicted. There is only one way forward.”
When the few Dragon Kings gazed at each other, they saw the determination in each other’s eyes. They then knelt on the ground and worshiped in Watson’s direction.
“We beseech His Majesty Watson to unite all races in the divine realm and become King of All Gods!”
Even though the starlight-tier divine dragons brought there by Orianna had tears in their eyes, they suppressed their tears and knelt in Watson’s direction. The dragons’ voices rang out over the galaxy.
It was Orianna’s dying request that the dragon race chess piece be passed to Watson, allowing Watson to become the king of all races. They had to follow it because they were dragons.
After the dragons paid their respects, the other races and humans within the Kingdom of Kings also knelt with devout expressions.
The divine army had already broken through the world they were in. Even more powerful gods would seek Watson to fight him in the future. They could either suffer the gods’ onslaught and willingly become slaves, or they could choose to conquer them and unify that chaotic divine realm. They did not have to think too hard about what to do.
Throughout the galaxy, innumerable individuals were kneeling. They concentrated on Watson, who was idolized by everyone present.
Watson’s hand, which was holding the dragon chess piece, trembled slightly as he felt the power of faith coming from all sources. He could feel the weight of it. That was the heaviness of hope. The Dragon God illustrated how the great gods in the small world grew exhausted from the long struggle. He was the best option to bring the war to a conclusion.
“Thank you to everyone from the dragon race and everyone who has supported me throughout this ordeal. You can count on me not to let you down. I shall collect all of the race chess pieces and bring this chaotic world to a stop in the divine realm!”
Using his loudest voice to vent the emotions in his chest, Watson solemnly raised the dragon race chess piece and the five-in-one space human chess piece in his hand and activated the fusion system.
His fusion system had consistently outperformed anything else since he first arrived in that universe. Starlight and sovereign-tier power could be fused. He had no idea where his system had come from or who had given it to him. He deduced from what Orianna stated soon before her death that the fusion system in his body was a creation of the God of Creation.
Baldur and the other gods had always exhibited an intense hunger for what he possessed. Under his fusion system, Nia, the King of Angels, also expressed her submission. He had a feeling the fusion system would be excellent for the gods, but he did not expect the system to have such a rich history.
The God of Creation had granted the world’s highest-tier object the ability to fuse with different race chess pieces. He must have hoped to utilize the technology to reassemble the universe’s beginning by fusing the separated race chess pieces.
He did not know why, but he had such an understanding in his heart.
[Congratulations, Master. You have successfully fused six different chess pieces. You have obtained a sovereign-tier peak item, the Life Court Fragment.]
As if he could feel the excitement in his heart, even the sound of the system notification became louder.
The five-in-one chess piece had changed dramatically after fusing with the dragon race chess piece. It had risen from sovereign-tier to peak sovereign-tier. That was something he had never experienced before.
[Sovereign-tier Tool: Life Court Fragment]
[Effect: a fragment formed from the shattering of the life source of the three great sources of the universe. It has the ability to contain the life source to some extent. Adjudicative Life (able to adjudicate any life below the sovereign tier, allowing it to die or be resurrected. The adjudicative effect is not affected by any power other than the life source).]
[Additional effects: Immortality (the body is connected to the court of life. Unless the court of life collapses, it will not die from any damage.]
Watson felt an infinite quantity of life power enter his body as he looked at the race chess piece that had transformed into an emerald crown after being fused into his palm. That life force was so powerful that his tier has advanced from starlight-tier to highgod. He was only one step away from being crowned divine king.
The Life Court arose from the universe’s life beginning and was a manifestation of it. In other words, Watson had grasped one of the universe’s three fundamental sources. No one could hurt him unless they were on the same level of power as him. That power was even more potent than the race chess pieces.
He merely needed to say one statement to determine the fate of others. Those he judged would perish as long as they did not belong to the sovereign tier. They could also not be revived after death.
‘Bringing them back to life.’
Watson motioned with his hand. Dense green light erupted from all directions in the star field where he stood. Where he was, the green light was the brightest. It grew into a massive court that supported his body.
The people who had died due to the small world’s collapse were all revived by the green light. Well, except for Oliana, who had donated her heart to the life court and could not be resurrected unless he possessed a more powerful power.
“Can someone tell me what that star field is?”
Watson’s great voice boomed throughout the galaxy as he looked about.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, that star field is the Angel Star Field, formerly ruled by the King of Angels,” a Cthulhu creature said weakly, all of its tentacles prostrating beneath its body.
They were still angry after Watson had killed their king and taken away their race chess pieces. However, in front of Watson’s radiant face, their animosity disappeared into thin air. Watson’s might made them fearful of even contemplating resistance.
“Since it’s the Angel Star Field, where is its master?”
Through Sidi, Nia, and other previous gods, Watson had learned that the divine realm was generally separated by star fields. Typically, a star region was ruled by a single god, king, or a group of gods. Nia’s domain used to be in the Angel Star Field. Nia said that after being reincarnated as the Child of God, she had delegated that territory to a trustworthy subordinate.
A giant fissure erupted in the sky above the star field where Watson was not long after his voice was heard. A massive iceberg the size of thousands of worlds fell and stood in the emptiness. The iceberg was separated into nine strata, each guarded by angels wielding a different scepter. Some of the angels were blowing trumpets, others were wielding scepters, and still, others were waving massive swords blazing with flames. The divide of tasks was apparent.
On top of that iceberg sat a thousand-meter-tall silver-haired beauty with six massive wings on her back and a crown on her head. At that moment, the angel woman rose to her feet, holding a long sword in her hand.
“The master of the Angel Star Field, the blazing snow angel Raquel, is here!”
When the female angel stood up, the galaxy surrounding her froze and transformed into a massive floating ice block.
The female angel’s body was reduced to the size of an average person as soon as she finished speaking. She proceeded up the long frozen stairway, which had become a river of ice, and immediately came in front of Nia. “The first angel under the original Goddess of Ice and Snow, the King of Angels, Lady Nia, has returned.” She knelt on one knee.
“Get up.”
Nia’s face was slightly animated, in contrast to her usual quiet demeanor. She reached out her hand to pull Raquel up as she continued to say, “The current version of myself is no longer the King of Angels, but you are! I am merely His Majesty Watson’s handmaiden right now. His Majesty wants to unite the entire divine realm and requires assistance. Are you willing to assist?”
“Of course, Lady Nia’s orders are the only beacons in my life.”
Standing up, Raquel looked at Watson as if determining whether or not Watson was qualified to be Nia’s master. She scowled as she saw Watson’s sensitive expression. Her frown softened as she realized Watson’s body was generating the life court’s aura.
He could not be an elite who controlled the universe’s three energy sources if he was not worthy of being Nia’s master.
“Your Majesty Watson, as Nia’s master, you are also my master. I am curious what you want me to do.”
“You must be quite familiar with the Angel Star area, as you are the master of it. How many god-kings exist in that solar system? How many small worlds exist, and where are they located? Tell me everything.”
“Yes, Young Master Watson. There are 108,000 small worlds in the Angel Star Field. The 12 god-kings are there as well. The angels own 100,000 small worlds and inhabit half of them! When Lady Nia was in charge, and there were not as many god-kings, that star field was considerably larger. That is entirely due to my negligence following lady Nia’s departure. I deserve death.”
“No, that is my fault for leaving you alone.”
“Lady Nia did not do anything wrong. It’s my fault. ”
“I announce that from now on, all god-kings in this star field must surrender to me and hand over all small worlds.” Watson waved his hand.. “If they do not submit after three warnings, I will annihilate them! Without further ado, let us begin with the closest small world.”
