Even if Atherton didn't use his ability anymore, those who had been conquered by him, from places to people, would always belong to him.
As long as Atherton still had a breath left, these places and people would not go anywhere.
If Atherton conquered a place, it means he could control everything in that place as easily as managing his domain.
The people he didn't want to be inside his territory would never be able to set foot into his territory.
To be honest, the king had conquered his own people's kingdom, but what he beat was not the territory but the overall kingdom itself.
This means, wherever the blood clan went, as long as they were still considered a kingdom, even if they only lived on a small island or a cave...
They would always be under Atherton's control and protection.
This is Atherton's last line of defense created for his people aside from Crimson Island, hiding underground, and so many other defense lines.
Atherton needed a thousand years to slowly conquer his own people for various reasons but now, he only needed minutes to conquer these ancestors.
It didn't even take a minute, really.
After all, conquering his own people had so many other considerations and measurements, afraid that the citizens would be wronged.
But conquering the enemies is more simple than ever. Just conquer, and even if they become his slave, Atherton will never care.
The other celestial ancestors also knew one or two about this ability and knew that they would never be able to recover the lost a few hundreds of celestial ancestors.
Unlike Wilhelm's puppetry that required him to always be in control, Atherton's Conqueror Ability was much easier but the effect was way stronger.
How could it be easy to defeat colonialism? People needed more than a few decades or even a hundred years in reality.
Not to mention that Atherton's Conqueror Ability would slowly conquer the people's hearts as well, which means these ancestors wouldn't resist him as much as now after a few weeks or months.
Atherton simply included the captured celestial ancestors as his people, but these victims would always be less important than his people!
The other celestial ancestors listened to the queen and felt they had to attack Atherton anyway.
If they let him do as he wished, he might conquer even the celestial queen and other celestial ancestors!
He might even conquer the whole celestial race if he was cornered, and then, the whole race would be his slave.
Terrible!
Atherton had to die!
Either he dies, or they all die.
The Celestial ancestors immediately launched another round of attacks, and the queen even personally used her Judgment ability to attack Atherton.
This kind of attack from various celestial ancestors, plus the sword of justice that tried to pierce Atherton's domain…
No matter where you looked, Atherton couldn't possibly resist all of this alone.
But he was not alone anymore.
The few hundreds or so celestial ancestors that he had just conquered immediately defected to Atherton's side without leaving the Queen's domain.
This means, these traitors still enjoyed the queen's boost while secretly backstabbing their people!
Indeed, siblings are alike.
The younger brother manipulated the celestials to backstab each other and the older brother manipulated the celestial ancestors.
Even more so, the way Atherton said 'kneel' to those ancestors was eight points similar to Ainsley back then!
The two figures from different generations overlapped, but they all symbolized the rise of the blood clan.
The king himself didn't hesitate to use his newly conquered celestial ancestors to block the attacks for him while he conquered more people.
"Go. Kill whoever resists."
Such a simple command, but the conquered celestial ancestors immediately obeyed, as if the King was their own king.
This loyalty, perseverance and other emotions were way superior than Wilhelm's puppetry that only made people into puppets.
With loyalty and all other emotions from the depth of these ancestors' hearts, their strength soared and became stronger than the celestial ancestors who just simply wanted to help their descendants.
Fighting for their king and fighting for a mere distant descendant.
Who would give all their strength in this battle?
Of course, it would be those who fought for the king!
There were only a few hundreds, celestial ancestors on Atherton's side, but they faintly overwhelmed the other celestial ancestors solely because of their motivation.
Not to mention that they were fighting in the Queen's domain.
Those who had been conquered by Atherton didn't care whether the domain would collapse or not because the domain belonged to their 'enemy' the celestial queen, anyway.
But the celestial ancestors who were still sober had this kind of awareness, unlike those who had been conquered.
If they used all their strength and went rampant here, things would be bad for their descendants.
At that time, without the domain belonging to the celestial queen, all the celestial ancestors would be forced to go back to their own dimension.
If this happened, wouldn't that mean they failed to protect their descendants?
The Celestial ancestors didn't care much about the celestials who were left in this world.
Anyway, they also had their own descendants in the new dimension and those descendants were far stronger than the celestials in this world.
But in the end, their roots were here.
The celestial ancestors felt that if they failed to protect the descendants who were left in this world and the celestial race went extinct because of this war...
Their reputation would be ruined, and many people from various worlds and dimensions would laugh at their celestial race.
At that time, how could the celestial race mingle with other high-level races?
So shameful!
