Chapter 216 Caesar: Watch Me Summon Extraordinary Geniuses.
All the top-tier forces on the Douluo Continent, with their well-organized structures and profound foundations, held their breath and stared intently at the sky.
Krystal faced off against the unfathomable and unpredictable Ragus, and everyone present believed that she was in dire straits with no way out.
But everyone knew in their hearts that Krydela was always unparalleled in wisdom and had a deep mind.
Faced with such a seemingly inescapable predicament, how will she defy fate and turn the tide?
This is precisely the core principle that all major powers are eager to learn from and emulate.
Whether it's the Spirit Hall, which holds immense power across the continent, or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which has a long and distinguished history.
The reclusive Haotian Sect, the cunning Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even the vast Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire.
Even Davis, the prince of the Star Luo Empire who had already made up his mind to rebel, kept his eyes fixed on the sky, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.
They all genuinely longed to see Crydella turn the tide and defeat the stronger opponent.
This will allow the leaders of the forces in Douluo Continent who are accustomed to force but not good at political maneuvering to learn the art of imperial strategy and how to turn the tide.
They firmly believed that every strategy they learned today would be of great use in future conflicts on the mainland.
After all, this is the unparalleled wisdom personally displayed by an iron-blooded monarch who reigns over the outer world.
As expected, Cerudela above the sky did not disappoint any of the onlookers.
He witnessed firsthand how Lai Gu Shi unleashed terrifying power, suppressing Little Gray Hair with one hand and easily defeating his most elite warrior, Hese Yin.
When Lai Gushi arrogantly proclaimed himself a god, Kerudela's small face was filled with disdain and contempt.
She elegantly placed one hand on her hip, her tone authoritative and intimidating as she sternly rebuked the men below:
"Don't forget, my dynasty only allows the existence of 'human beings'..."
"As for resorting to vigilante justice—that is tantamount to subverting the 'law,' a crime deserving of death."
She glared angrily at Lai Gu Shi below, her arms crossed over her chest, exuding an extremely imposing aura.
They publicly sentenced Lai Gushi, who wielded spatial power, to death.
Lai Gushi's tone remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. He slowly extended his hands, indicating the swift and decisive action he had just taken.
"But, as you have seen: with just a simple clasp of my hands, I can erase life from this world…"
"You still haven't grasped your own position. Please allow me to reiterate—"
Lai Gushi, with an air of superiority, slowly turned his head to look at Cerrudra, who was petite and resembled a blue elf on the high platform.
His tone was blatantly threatening, and he spoke each word coldly.
"The choice I'm giving you is simple: cooperate or destroy, there is no other."
Krydella's eyes narrowed suddenly, her small face puffed out slightly, showing a hint of spoiled arrogance yet incredibly sharp:
"How arrogant! If you could, why don't you just kill him already?"
Krystra, brimming with confidence, stepped forward arrogantly and said coldly:
"Because you can't do it."
"When I first severed your head, I foresaw it: due to the ultimate agreement of the 'Law,' the Golden Blood cannot completely destroy you, and vice versa."
Lai Gushi sighed softly, a rare hint of helplessness and annoyance showing on his face.
Krystra caught his subtle reaction precisely, and a triumphant smile immediately appeared on her face. She gave a soft snort and said:
"The more you bluff now, the more it confirms this fact."
Lai Gushi looked disdainful, coldly refuting Krydela as he slowly stepped forward, exuding an oppressive aura.
"Your exceptional vision. I once considered this invaluable quality of yours as a guarantee of my victory. But now, I must admit my mistake—"
"How can a mere mortal possibly contend with a 'Cleric of Ritual'?"
Seeing this, Heather disregarded her injuries and immediately rushed forward again without hesitation, firmly standing in front of Lai Gu Shi.
Laigushi stopped in his tracks, no longer moving forward, but instead looked up and stared directly at Kerudela on the high platform.
Kerudela crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes narrowed, her tone sharp as a knife.
"We are both prisoners of pride. But Lycurgus, do you know the difference between us? I will not be blinded by pride."
Kerudela chuckled softly, her tone brimming with confidence and assurance.
"Want to break the balance of the scales—"
"Relying on external forces to make them work for you is the way to go."
The moment she finished speaking, Krystal took out the identification anchor that she had previously confiscated from the little gray-haired boy.
Immediately afterwards, two long, slender figures dressed in black stockings, formed by energy projections, slowly appeared behind Krystalla.
Then, what appeared before everyone was a chest with a keyhole opening, flat and smooth like a vast grassland.
Upon seeing these unique characteristics, the quick-witted people on the Douluo Continent instantly realized the truth.
Isn't this the giant black tower that Little Gray Hair summoned using the Mark Anchor?
The Great Black Tower crossed its arms over its chest, tilted its head slightly, and spoke to Lai Gu Shi below in a playful and teasing tone.
"Finally, I've seen the real thing, senior."
Just then, a strange figure slowly walked out from the other side of Krydella.
This person's body is no different from that of an ordinary person, but his head is a cold and precise mechanical structure, making him look very peculiar.
He placed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly to Lai Gushi, first showing respect, then regret and remorse.
"I salute you for your many achievements in the past; but I deeply regret your current stance."
Lai Gushi clearly recognized the two uninvited guests. He gave a soft, indifferent snort.
"Please believe me, Screwgoom. At this moment, you are not the only one who feels deep regret."
Crydella, sandwiched between the two, remained unfazed, her arms crossed over her chest, exuding an imposing aura.
She merely glanced sideways at the large black tower beside her, her tone carrying an air of knowing everything.
"It seems that you two are the reason the Savior is demanding the divine authority of 'Law,' the extraterrestrial allies she speaks of."
Cerberus stood with one hand on her hip, her tone commanding and unquestionable, while gripping the captain figurine adorned with a crown.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, sparkling with excitement and a fighting spirit.
"Come, prove your strength: show me the power of 'Destiny.' I've gone to great lengths to acquire this extraordinary treasure for this very moment."
The robot known as Screwgoom stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Crydella, and spoke.
"In the name of the Lord of the Screwstar: Your ally answers the call, Your Excellency Caesar."
He then turned to look down at Lai Gu Shi, attempting to persuade him and stabilize the situation.
"Lord Legoth, please allow me to point out: the seed of the ultimate protocol, the 'Law,' is now in our hands; it is only a matter of time before we gain divine authority over writing and execution."
Daheita also stepped forward, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked confident and certain of victory.
"Once you've torn off the mask, the Fire Chase journey can no longer continue. Do you think you still have a chance of winning? — For the sake of the club, don't make things too ugly."
Lai Gushi remained calm and spoke slowly and deliberately in a composed tone as he refuted Lai Gushi.
"I understand: almost certain is not certain. To me, that's quite convincing…"
"Therefore, comrades, this principle also applies to you."
"In a world constructed from fourteen-line algebra, you are no match for me; and as for 're-creation'..."
"Consider this possibility: if I were to raze Ohma to the ground and crush her people to ashes, would the heroes once again covet the power of the demigods in order to oppose me?"
Then, under everyone's breathless gaze, Raigushi slowly opened his arms.
As if embracing the supreme deity in the heavens, their expressions were both sacred and eerie.
"Listen carefully: The Iron Tomb will be born. Even if I am bound by chains, I have a thousand ways to bring about destruction…"
His tone was arrogant and haughty, and he only turned half his head, coldly surveying the crowd present.
"What I just described is only one in a thousand."
