“It has something to do with the human chess piece that I have mastered.”
Watson pointed at the chess piece floating in front of his chest, emitting starlight. “The human chess piece can control the fate of a race. Not only that, but it can also create humans, just like what I just did.”
He had only revealed the most basic information to King Landhar III regarding the human chess piece. He wanted to hide the fact that the human chess piece was a sovereign-tier tool and possessed the ability to accelerate molecules, which was a power of the laws of motion.
“To be able to create a human, isn’t that too astonishing?”
“Can he create any human? If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that he can create an army of elites at any time?”
Antonio and Reid looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They had witnessed Watson’s rise with their own eyes. When Watson reached the capital, he was still a young disciple they had to take care of. However, Watson’s power had reached a level that they could not understand.
“Watson, you said that you created Avril. Then what’s the difference between her and my original sister?” Sylvan asked curiously.
“There’s no difference. The human race was originally created by the game of chess. The human race is made up of energy factors that contain the characteristics of human chess. The so-called physical body, mind, and even soul are all the same. The death of a human represents the dissipation of energy factors. What I’m doing now is just reassembling the energy factors!”
Watson explained as he looked around. “I don’t know if you can understand what I said.”
Antonio and Reid nodded, looking thoughtful. As diamond-tier elites, they could understand Watson’s explanation. They had an understanding of the world—the more profound the understanding, the stronger the strength of the elite. Without realizing it, Watson had already walked in front of them.
King Landhar III also looked as if he understood it. Then, he looked at Avril’s body on the ground. Without the protection of the crystal coffin, Avril’s body was decaying at a rapid speed, turning into sparkling ashes, and finally, with a gentle breeze, her body had disappeared.
Avril was already dead. Her soul and body had turned into energy particles and dissipated. What remained was just an empty shell. Then, Watson had used the human chess to reconstruct Avril’s body; it was equivalent to gathering the energy particles in Avril’s body once again. It was precisely because King Landhar III had the strength of a peak diamond-tier elite that he could understand that Watson’s actions were the true act of resurrection.
That made him feel a little sad.
“I thought that you would use the fusion power to let Avril fuse with something and then make her stand up. It seems that I have underestimated you! Fusing with other things might bring Avril back to life, but she won’t be purely Avril anymore. It is not as good as this method. I have been racking my brain for more than ten years to think of a way to bring Avril back to life. Because of that, I have made a lot of mistakes. I did not expect it to be so simple. Then, what is the meaning of what I have done all these years?”t
The corner of King Landhar III’s mouth twitched as he forced a bitter smile.
As the King, he had indulged in more than ten years of planning and experiments, but it was not as good as Watson waving his hand. As expected, any tricks and plots were useless in the face of absolute power. Also, he feared that Watson no longer looked at things from a superficial point of view. Instead, he looked at things from the level of energy factors. He had only seen such an angle in gods.
“Since Queen Avril has been resurrected and my mission is completed, I’ll go back now.” Watson crossed his arms behind his head and prepared to step back. It might seem like he had resurrected Avril for free when in fact, he had gained a lot of benefits. His rewards were the King of the Zombies and the Glass Coffin that Sealed the Sky that he had obtained through the fusion system.
Resurrecting a woman who was not even platinum-tier did not consume much of his strength. However, he had obtained a platinum-tier pet and a starlight-tier item. It was profit for him.
With that thought in mind, Watson was about to turn around when a cold blade suddenly stabbed his vital point.
Watson realized that Isabella had appeared behind him without him noticing it. She was holding a sharp dagger that was emitting platinum-tier light; if that dagger pierced through his chest and killed him on the spot, it would be a pity. His clothes were not made of ordinary cloth but platinum-tier fabrics from Mount Creation. As a result, the dagger did not even pierce through his clothes.
Even if his clothes were pierced, he had the strength of a peak diamond-tier elite. An ordinary person would not be able to injure him. Even if he stood still, attacks from those below the starlight tier would not be able to harm him.
Isabella’s hand trembled slightly, and her expression was flustered. “What? This is the sharpest platinum-tier weapon in the capital. Why won’t it pierce through your clothes?”
“Your Majesty, what are you doing?”
Watson narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed through them.
That was the difference in tiers. An elite like King Landhar III could understand that such an ordinary attack would be useless against him, so King Landhar III had joined forces with the gods to plot against him. While Queen Isabella was not even platinum-tier, in her eyes, diamond-tier elites were the same as gold and silver-tier elites. As long as she attacked their vital points, she could kill them. However, she was wrong.
Watson was not afraid of Isabella attacking him. However, she was hostile toward him. She might attack his family and friends. So, he had to clarify things with her if he did not want that to happen. He could even kill her if he so desired.
“Watson, I did not expect this. It’s my fault for not being able to kill you. Kill me, then. You’ve killed my two sons, and I don’t want to live anymore. Otherwise, if I don’t kill you today, I will find a way to kill you in the future.”
Isabella’s eyes were red as she spoke fiercely.
“Kill your sons? Your Majesty, you seem to have made a mistake. King Landhar III was the one who killed your sons. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Isabella, what happened to you? Didn’t I tell you that I was the one who killed them? Why did you attack Watson?”
King Landhar III frowned, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
“Watson must have threatened you, Your Majesty. He must have used Avril’s resurrection to make you compromise.” Isabella gritted her teeth; she gave Avril a fierce look, her eyes full of sorrow and determination. “So what if that lowly woman is dead? Why would she come back to life? She’s already dead, yet she still wants to fight with me for you, Your Majesty. I’ll fight her today. If I can’t kill Watson, then I shall kill her.”
As she spoke, Isabella rushed toward Avril.
“Don’t disrespect Her Highness.”
Denise and Nightingale had already rushed out and blocked Isabella on her path. Denise’s face was full of anger, while Nightingale was annoyed. She did not expect Isabella to attack Watson. She could not have rescued him in time, so she felt sorry for her own negligence.
The two women were about to stop Isabella. Before they did, King Landhar III stretched his right hand outward. A black light flashed and turned into a giant arm with a strong gravitational force that stretched for several meters. He grabbed Isabella through the air.
“Isabella, I had wanted to kill you, but I let you go because of my kindness. I did not expect you not to appreciate it. Not only did you want to attack Watson, who helped me revive Avril, but you also wanted to kill Avril. I think you must have had enough of living! In that case, there’s no need for Watson.. I’ll send you on your way myself.”
