King Putra nodded and took the sword from the knight beside him, throwing it to the Go player. He took the greatsword and shield from the guard. "I never thought that the two of us would have a duel. This Iron Slaying Sword and Lion King's Shield are magic weapons that you forged for me back then. They accompanied me on the battlefield and have never been defeated.”
"I didn't expect this day to come for the two of us.”The chess player took a step forward." But since fate is like this, we can only dance with it.”
There was nothing more to say. The two of them carefully observed each other and slowly moved.
" I've never seen this Chess player engage in close combat training before," Fierce Fire asked worriedly." Can he really compete with others?"”
" No problem," the old lion said." We are Death Infantry, the best of the best in genetic optimization." The development of their bodies was on a completely different level compared to these barbarians who were still in the primitive genetic chain. Go players can't lose."
Huo Lian recalled that to the citizens of the Empire, they were all people who had undergone genetic modification and optimization. Most people had to undergo genetic optimization before they were born. This was the greatest expense the dynasty had to bear for its citizens. It was also because of this that the governors of the Empire's planets were often not interested in expanding their territory to planets with primitive civilizations. This was because the genetic optimization of primitive civilization humans was a terrifying act that was enough to bankrupt a few rich planets.
Citizens who had undergone genetic optimization would have a lifespan that was more than three times that of those who hadn't. The rate of disease occurrence would be reduced by 95%, childhood would be shortened by 30%, and the development of their physical and brain regions would be increased from about 20% to more than 80%. Even the ordinary citizens of the Imperium who had no combat training could have an overwhelming advantage against the primitive people, not to mention the soldiers who had undergone long-term training and injected muscle strengthening drugs like the paratroopers.
Nobles could also undergo genetic strengthening. By injecting external genes, they could increase their genetic chains and obtain stronger abilities. Some nobles could even turn their bones into high-strength carbon fibers through high-level genetic strengthening. They could live for thousands of years and have the strength to rival warriors in high-level battle suits.
However, there was a huge risk in gene strengthening. The higher the degree of strengthening, the greater the risk. Moreover, the gene strengthening had to be done when the body was already mature, but not yet finalized. Otherwise, the failure rate would increase tenfold. For males, this period was within three years of adulthood. After this stage, one would have to give up on gene strengthening.
The original owner of this body had failed in the gene strengthening process and died in the end.
In the rain, sword lights intersected. As a king, King Putra's swordsmanship and shield were very pure, and he was good at attacking and defending. However, his opponent merely stood on the spot and waved his sword with one hand, resolving King Putra's attacks one by one. The difference in strength and reaction speed made King Putra's attacks useless no matter how ingenious they were.
After fighting for a while, the chess player suddenly slashed three times. The first slash cut off the arm of the King of Putra holding the shield, the second slash landed on the right side of the King of Putra's chest, and blood splattered everywhere. The third slash landed heavily on his sword, knocking the King of Putra to the ground.
"I'm sorry." The Go player raised his sword high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the fallen King Putra.
"Father!" The golden-haired princess broke free from the people beside her and pounced on her father, trying to use her body to protect her heavily injured father. "He has already lost. Please spare him.”
"Please step aside." "Death can only be forgiven through death," the Go player said coldly. He must die. If you refuse to move aside, I can only kill you as well.”
"Silly child, leave quickly." King Putra wanted to push his daughter away, but his heavily injured body was unable to exert any strength.
"Never, I will never leave you," the golden-haired princess sobbed.”
" Your Majesty…" The cries grew louder and louder. The soldiers, servants, and the people in the city who already knew what had happened formed a sad song.
The deputy commander of the Azure Whale Knight Regiment, Ragang, shouted,"As a knight, if you can't protect the king, what right do you have to live! King, Raegan will leave first. In the Undead World, Raegan will still fight alongside King. Long live King, long live Putra.”Amidst the shouts, the Ragon Knight cut his own throat.
Another knight with an extremely high status knelt on the ground and said to Putra King,""Your Majesty, after your funeral, we will follow you. In the afterlife, we will never let you go alone.”
"We will definitely follow you, our king. You will never travel alone.”The other knights also used their oaths to welcome this final scene.
"Since you won't move, then I'm sorry.”The Go player looked at King Putra and the princess coldly. Without hesitation, he swung his sword, intending to kill both father and daughter.
The little princess closed her eyes, waiting for the moment the blade entered her body. However, after a long while, his body felt nothing. She opened her eyes. The tip of the sword was right above her head, right in front of her eyes, but she could not swing it down. Because a large black hand was holding the sharp blade.
"Enough." " This won't end the hatred," Huo Lian said calmly." It will only increase the meaningless bloodshed."”
"Boss, this has nothing to do with you. Please don't interfere.”
" I won't interfere with your Mage Tower's revenge," Fire Smelter said." But this matter doesn't have to be resolved this way." Do you want revenge, or do you want to resolve the hatred between the Magic Tower and the country? If you just want to kill him and use his blood to wash away the magic and his blood, then I'll let you kill him and everyone here. If you want to end the hatred and protect the future of the Magic Tower, then put down your sword for the time being and see if there is any other way.”
The slut said sourly,"You idiot, why aren't you letting go? Can't you see that you've taken a fancy to someone else's little girl? You can't bear to see the little girl bleed.”
"Shut up." Fire Smelting really couldn't do anything about a slut's habit of spouting nonsense.
The long sword snapped and the player took a step back."I hope it's as you said."
"Treat him. He can't die yet." Huo Lian said to the slut.”
"You're the leader, you have the final say."”The slut walked up and kicked the golden-haired princess, who was frozen on the spot from shock to joy.""Idiot, don't get in the way." He took out an injection from the medical kit and injected it into the heavily injured King Putra. He then used a spray to stop the bleeding. The broken wounds were quickly frozen and mended, and the pain in King Putra's body had mostly disappeared. He could not help but feel even more amazed by the power of the gods.
This matter had taken a dramatic turn. Huo Lian and the others decided to stay in the capital city of Putra, not afraid that the King of Putra would dare to do anything. As a god who descended to the mortal world, the huge difference in power made the King of Putra a fish waiting to be judged by them.
In the room, after the maids left, Chess Player asked Huo Lian,"Boss, you stopped me from killing him. What do you want to do?”
