"Thank you, Sister Kreya. I will remember your words, for Midgard and for us."

Watching this scene, Judith felt an indescribable envy. She was an orphan, raised in the church. But ever since she became a top adventurer and the church's saint, her admiration for her had been compounded by her scheming. This wasn't just a fluke arrival in another world; she knew she'd been tricked into becoming a goblin's mining card. She couldn't even imagine such a tragedy.

Chapter 98: The Martial God Festival (Martial Heart Festival) of the Kingdom of Midgar

After returning to the royal capital, Alice took her sister Alexia to take a hot spring bath.

After hearing the latest news from her sister from the Holy Land, Alice could no longer sit still and stood up from the hot spring, making the spring scenery beautiful.

"Alexia, is everything you said true? That man, the guy named Shadow, actually destroyed the self-destructing space device with a single punch? Is this true?"

Alexia looked at her frightened sister and said with a chuckle:

"It's true, otherwise I would have died in there. I didn't expect Jack Nelson to be one of the Knights of the Round Table of the Diabolos Cult."

"But the newspaper said..."

"Sister, public opinion can be manipulated. People are ignorant, otherwise they wouldn't have been deceived by the Diabolos Cult for a hundred years."

Alice was silent for a while and said nothing more. If what Alexia said was true, then how powerful was Shadow himself?

"Did he use the ancient relic?"

Alexia looked at her sister in surprise

"Sister, why do you say that?"

"Without the ancient holy relics, it is impossible to achieve this, right?"

Alexia couldn't help but cover her forehead with one hand. Her sister was so stubborn. Why didn't she believe that it was Shangguan Wen's strength, but mistakenly thought that the other party was relying on the power of ancient holy relics?

"Sister, you may not understand Shadow's strength yet."

Alexia explained patiently, with a hint of helplessness and doting in her tone.

"From what I saw with my own eyes, he didn't draw on the power of any ancient relics. His strength seemed innate and unfathomable. Destroying the space device with a single punch seemed like a piece of cake for him."

Upon hearing this, Alice frowned, and a glint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"This... How is this possible? Relying solely on physical strength, one can reach such a state?"

She mumbled to herself, as if trying to digest the shocking news.

"Yes, sister."

Alexia nodded and continued:

"Shadow possesses not only incredible strength but also exceptional wisdom. During his operations in the Sanctuary Kingdom, he has averted numerous crises and even single-handedly turned the tide of battle. Jack Nelson, a Knight of the Round Table, is undoubtedly formidable, but in front of Shadow, he was easily defeated like a child."

At this point, a flicker of admiration crossed Alexia's face. She knew Shangguan Wen was not only a formidable warrior, but also a man of profound thought and unwavering conviction. His appearance undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to a world shrouded for a century by the Diabolos Cult. However, he was also an ambitious man, believing he could conquer the entire world with his immense power.

Alice, observing her sister's expression, couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and awe towards Shadow. She knew Alexia wouldn't lie to her, especially about something so important. So, who exactly was this man named Shadow? Why did he possess such immense power? And why was he on the front lines of the fight against the Diabolos Cult?

Alice finally asked, a hint of confusion and anticipation in her voice.

"Alexia, what do you think Shadow's purpose is?"

Alexia thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Sister, on one hand, it's revenge, and on the other hand, it's ambition."

Upon hearing this, Alice felt an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart. What the world lacks most is ambitious people. If a powerful organization is formed, it will pose a huge threat to her country.

"Alexia, I will use my swordsmanship to prove my strength in the upcoming [Martial God Festival]. As long as I can obtain the title of [Martial God Festival] Master..."

At this point, Alexia was speechless. Why didn't she believe it? So what if she was number one in the outer world's [Martial God Festival]? The true combat power belonged to the inner world. If it came down to it, it was a question whether her sister could defeat her now, let alone the other top-ranked ones in [Shadow Garden].

If I say this out loud, it might be too much of a blow to my sister.

Forget it, let my sister enjoy the glory for a while, and then let her experience the cruelty of the other world.

——-Dividing line————

As the time for the Midgar Kingdom to hold the [Martial God Festival] approaches, more and more people from all over the world and swordsmen from all over the world are rushing to the capital of the Midgar Kingdom.

During this time, another thing happened.

Rose-Oliana stabbed her fiancé and escaped. Now the entire kingdom of Midgar and the kingdom of Oliana are sending people to search for this willful and cruel princess.

Siyue Chamber of Commerce, in Alpha's office.

Roz, who stabbed her fiancé, came here and told Alpha what she had experienced. It was not that she could not go directly to Shangguan Wen, but her true identity could not be exposed.

Alpha put down the documents and personally handed a cup of coffee to Rose to help her wake up.

"You said that your father is completely under the control of Doem Kezihat, and that the king's guards are trying desperately to kill you."

Ross took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, his beautiful eyes filled with pain and sorrow. What Shangguan Wen once said had come true. Now if he wanted to save his father, he could only find him.

"Yes, those guards gave me the impression that they were members of the Diabolos Cult. If I didn't act out the same scene that killed my father, they would have him assassinate guests from other countries during the upcoming Martial God Festival, thus triggering a war between Oriana and other countries."

After listening to this, Alpha tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about what benefits he could bring to Shangguan Wen from this.

"I already know your problem. I can guarantee your father's safety, but the Kingdom of Oriana..."

Rose nodded. Ever since she joined Shadow Garden and witnessed the events of the Holy Kingdom, as well as the appearance of alien creatures, she knew that the world must be substantially unified in order to ensure that the continent would not be destroyed by invaders from another world.

"I understand that the future of Oriana, and indeed the peace of the entire continent, can no longer be protected by a single country. Whatever is required of me, I will do it diligently."

"My Lord Shadow is on his way, you must obey his orders."

"Yes, Lord Alpha."

Chapter 99: Mechanicus Archsage Victor

In the stands of the Valkyrie Festival, Shangguan Wen, wearing Midgard's school uniform, watched the game below. He felt bored after just one look. A group of noobs were fighting each other, which was completely meaningless.

The clone Jimina Sene that he controlled was already killing people recklessly, crushing them brutally along the way.

When he turned around and left for the passage, a female elf with a hood, long flowing hair and a katana in her hand walked towards Shangguan Wen.

As the two passed each other, the female elf sniffed the air with her nose.

"Wait, have you seen the elves again?"

"Elves?"

Shangguan Wen stopped and turned to look at the other person.

"Who are you? Why are you asking?"

The hooded elf answered truthfully:

"I, I have been looking for my sister's orphan for many years."

"Let me see your true face, then I can judge."

The hooded elf is not afraid to reveal its true appearance.

"Beatrice, champion of the first Martial God Festival. The Elven Sword Master, known as the 'Martial God'."

Beatrice didn't care about the title and said:

"It's just an empty name. Have you ever seen an elf similar to me?"

Shangguan Wen carefully examined Beatrice in front of him. The elf's face was as exquisite as a painting, with determination and wisdom flashing in her eyes. The long golden hair revealed from under her hood was like the Milky Way flowing in the night sky, and the katana in her hand, even when it was motionless, seemed to contain the power to cut down powerful enemies.

"Yes, I have. On the streets of the Holy Empire, there is an elf with a face similar to yours. And in the Holy Empire's holy place, Lindblom, there is also a statue similar to you. It seems to be called the hero Olivia."

Listening to Shangguan Wen's half-true and half-false words, Beatrice felt that something was wrong and said it out loud. Then, the Valkyrie drew her sword and swung it towards Shangguan Wen's neck.

Shangguan Wen judged that the other party had no intention of killing him and was just testing him, so he pretended to be frightened and fell to the ground.

"Woooa ...

"Sorry, I scared you."

Beatrice bent down, stretched out her delicate hand, and pulled Shangguan Wen up.

“Thank you for the information.”

After saying that, Beatrice turned and walked away towards the audience.

Shangguan Wen looked at the Valkyrie leaving and decided to tell Alpha about her arrival.

After Shangguan Wen left the arena, he teleported to the base of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce and came in front of Alpha and Ross. Alpha quickly told Shangguan Wen about Ross's experience.

"Roz, what do you think? Should we save your father in Midgard, or return to the Kingdom of Oriana to save him?"

Ross, who was sitting opposite Shangguan Wen, clenched his fist unwillingly and said:

"When I saw my father, I noticed his eye sockets were black. He had been controlled by drugs and had become his puppet. That bastard had prepared many treacherous and cruel tactics against me and my father. His goal was to force me to submit so that he could steal the Kingdom of Oriana in my husband's name."

Shangguan Wen nodded with satisfaction. This time was not wasted and he had grown a lot.

"Then, Ross, at the upcoming [Martial God Festival], attempt to assassinate your father. Don't stab too deep into the heart, or it will be difficult to save him."

Luo Zi looked at Shangguan Wen in surprise. He never thought that he would ask him to assassinate his own father.

"Huh? Why?"

"Having your father assassinated in public would instantly disrupt Doam's plans. Firstly, he could use this opportunity to eliminate all those who might be loyal to your father, paving the way for complete control of the kingdom. This is exactly what we want—to lower his guard and reveal more weaknesses. Secondly, we will use this time to secretly treat your father and gather sufficient evidence to ensure that at the right moment, we can strike a single blow and expose Doam's true face."

Rose's brow furrowed, her inner struggle palpable. While she hated what Doem had done, personally "assassinating" her own father, whether feigned or otherwise, was a significant test of her emotions.

"But...will my father accept this? Also, if the plan fails, the consequences will be disastrous." Shangguan Wen gently patted the table to offer reassurance. "Roz, your father is completely controlled and unable to make his own judgment. This is a gamble filled with both risks and opportunities. But please believe that we are not alone. I and Shadow Garden will be your strong backing. As for your father, I believe that once he understands the full truth, he will understand and support this decision. After all, this is for the future of the entire Kingdom of Orliana."

Alpha added:

"Furthermore, we will ensure that every detail of the plan is flawless. This includes faking the scene, arranging a stand-in, and ensuring that at the critical moment, there are sufficient forces to protect your father's safe evacuation. Ross, this is not only a test of your courage, but also a test of the wisdom of all of us."

Rose took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with determination. She knew this was to save her father, to restore peace and justice to the Kingdom of Orliana.

Finally, she nodded, her voice firm:

"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try. But please ensure my father's safety."

Shangguan Wen and Alpha smiled at each other. Whether King Oriana was alive or dead, Shangguan Wen and Shadow Garden would maximize their value. The process of unifying the world would inevitably be accompanied by cold-bloodedness and cruelty.

The next morning came, and it was time to sign in to the system.

[System, sign in today]

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Warhammer 40 Mechanicus Archsage - Mechanical Pioneer Victor."

A picture of the Great Sage Victor who had undergone self-mechanized transformation appeared in Shangguan Wen's hand.

"System, isn't this Viktor from League of Legends? How did he become the Archsage of the Mechanicus? Didn't you just copy and paste it?"

[Ding Dong, host, I just want to ask you if you want it]

"Yes, of course I don't want to. Then what kind of research is Victor good at?"

[Ding, Grenade Launcher, Laser Laser, New Energy, Automated Robot, Steel Manufacturing]

"This is the same as in League of Legends. Never mind. I'm also missing a Mechanicus Archmagos here. The thought of using a bolter and headshotting goblins with every shot makes me feel so good."

The recoil of a grenade launcher would mean a broken arm for an ordinary person, but for Shangguan Wen and his clone soldiers with bloodline factors, it was not a problem at all.

Given enough time, he could build his own Space Marine Legion. He just didn't know if some yellow-skinned person would come and ask for royalties if they found out.

Chapter 100 Fans and idols meeting, conspiracy

On the other side, Alice Mirgar saw her idol, the first generation Valkyrie Beatrice, and took the initiative to call out to her.

"Wait a moment, Lady Beatrice, I am Alice Midgar, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Midgar. You are my idol. Can you sign an autograph for me?"

The Elf Sword Saint ate a hamburger and looked at Qi Chun. The eldest princess said: Just by looking Alice up and down, I can make a preliminary judgment on her strength.

"Yes, but I am only slightly stronger than you, young man~"

"No, no, no, please don't say that. I'm also working hard with you as my goal."

After saying that, Alice took out the signature plate and pen that she had prepared long ago and handed them to Beatrice. The latter decisively ate the hamburger and picked up the pen to sign.

"Princess Alice, have you ever seen an elf that looks like me? She is my sister's orphan."

Hearing the idol's request, Alice would certainly not refuse

"A sister who resembles Lady Beatrice. Unfortunately, although there are elves in Midgard, none bear a face resembling yours. However, I can mobilize the entire kingdom's knights to search for her."

"Thank you very much"

After saying that, he bowed and turned to leave.
