A Dragon against the Whole World

The moment this figure appeared.

All the Legendary Powerhouses present, whether from the Lothern side or the Alliance Army side, their expressions changed drastically, their faces freezing almost simultaneously.

This was the strongest ever in the history of the Lotheren Kingdom.

A top-level Legendary, hailed as the Saint King — Allen Lothern.

He descended at the very center of the battlefield, his gaze calm as water, sweeping over the tragic scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood around him, finally landing on the two traitors frozen in place.

"Betrayed the oath, slayed the king and committed treason."

The Saint King spoke, his voice not loud, yet like some decree, carrying an undeniable implication.

The two traitors were utterly terrified.

At the moment they attempted to beg for mercy or flee.

Buzz!

An invisible and mighty Domain instantly spread, engulfing and covering them, their own Domains appearing on their surfaces, seeming to bear some immense pressure, constantly cracking.

"Suffer the punishment of a thousand swords piercing the body!"

The Saint King’s words fell like the final judgment, calmly.

In an instant, countless sharp swords appeared out of thin air, filling every inch of space around the traitors.

These Light Sabers, as if alive, gathered into two deadly torrents shooting forward, funnel-like, shuttling back and forth through the bodies of the two traitors again and again.

They opened their mouths wide, their faces twisted to the extreme in ultimate agony, emitting mournful wails.

However, within the Saint King’s Domain, even their screams were completely stripped away, only able to watch helplessly as their flesh and souls were flayed and torn apart by the myriad shuttling swords, heading towards death in extreme suffering.

Silence!

Death-like silence enveloped the entire battlefield.

Whether the Lothern guards or the soldiers of the Alliance Army, everyone was stunned in place as if subjected to the Immovable Body Technique, staring wide-eyed at this scene.

The fierce war halted for a brief moment.

While punishing the traitors, the Saint King Allen slowly lifted his gaze, surveying the entire bloody battlefield.

His gaze swept over the endless Alliance Army soldiers outside the city, over those once arrogant, now tense-faced Legendary Powerhouses.

His gaze was very calm, without anger, without murderous intent, not even a ripple.

Only indifference and majesty.

Then, his Domain expanded once more! The extent was unbelievable, far exceeding the normal Legendary understanding limits of Domain range.

With the Saint King as the center.

The soldiers on Lothern’s side felt a warm and powerful aura flow into their bodies, soothing their pain and fear, while those on the Alliance Army’s side were struck head-on by some invisible and vast Giant Strength! Soldiers fell in waves, suppressed and unable to rise, tightly packed formations crumbling.

The massive Alchemy Golems lost control one after another, standing still or colliding with each other.

Even those hovering Legendary Powerhouses in the air seemed struck by lightning, their Domains constantly cracking, movements becoming difficult.

Panic! Like a plague, spread rapidly in the Alliance Army, crazily.

All battle intent, all greed, all ambition, in front of this reappeared Saint King, turned into the most primal fear.

"The Federation, established by my own hand."

The Saint King’s voice resounded again, without any emotional fluctuation, yet like a large bell and big drum, reverberating between heaven and earth, carrying an ancient flavor in the phrasing and wording.

"Intended to unite various nations, eliminating prejudice, collectively resisting external enemies, and sharing peace."

His words paused slightly, but that calm gaze seemed to contain a thousand-pound pressure, making every enemy scanned by his gaze feel their souls trembling.

"However, after hundreds of years, people change, you either due to personal desire, short-sightedness, or inner cowardice, have long forgotten the original intention of a united existence, betrayed the oath of co-existence, thus causing renewed warfare and pervasive flames of war."

At this point, the Saint King’s voice suddenly raised a bit.

"Since this is the case, a forced union is nothing but a dream of different beds, only increasing internal consumption, exhausting the vitality of this land I cherish!"

"Today, I will personally end this nominally existent covenant!"

"The Federation, henceforth dissolved!"

Upon these words, the entire field was shocked.

Whether the guards of Lotheren or the soldiers of the Alliance Army, almost couldn’t believe their ears.

Dissolve the Federation? This meant the Saint King voluntarily renounced the supreme lawful authority to unify the Southern Countries, renouncing the position above all kings.

The Saint King’s subsequent words further shocked their minds.

"As for you of the Alliance Army, today stepping onto our lands, violating our borders, killing our people, should be completely eradicated as a warning!"

A flash of killing intention passed, making all enemies feel as if falling into an ice cave, their breathing almost stopping.

"But!" The Saint King shifted his tone, still dignified and majestic, with an aura as grand as mountains and rivers: "Slaughtering is not my wish, nor is hatred the way to long-term peace."

"I pity your soldiers in the army, mostly driven by the ambition of those above, with parents and family waiting at home, innocently suffering from the chaos of war."

"I pity the creatures of the continent, who should not spill all their blood and exhaust their vitality due to momentary disputes and intrigue, making the loved ones grieve while the foes rejoice."

"Therefore, today, in the name of Saint King Allen Lothern, I pardon your crimes of invasion."

"Lay down your weapons, take your wounded and the corpses of your comrades, and withdraw to your respective territories."

"After today, Lothern and other nations, without the constraint of alliance, each act accordingly, not interfering with one another, wishing you heed today’s lesson well, and do not commit unjust acts again, merely invoking warfare, bringing calamity to the people."
