Chapter 645 - Conquering The Dwarven Kingdom

“What’s going on? Why are there so many gods in the mortal world? It seems like those gods have just been upgraded and aren’t stable enough. I don’t have too much faith in them. However, it’s shocking enough to see so many gods have been upgraded in such a small world.”

One of the gods could not help but exclaim out loud when he saw the 100,000 Blackmoon Knights.

There were 100,000 gods in the small world, yet that number of gods did not shatter the world. That was something he had not expected. Initially, he had been able to enter that world because he had felt the aura leaking from that place into the divine realm. Then, he discovered the spatial passage.

It took a lot of courage for him to build a bridge between his world and the divine world. He thought he had gotten a good deal and could use the spatial passage to occupy that small world to strengthen his own power, but he was no longer certain if he could leave the world in one piece. That spatial passage was very likely deliberately opened to the divine realm, luring the gods into it.

“I’m sorry, I seem to have come to the wrong place. Mortals, continue with what you’re doing. I won’t disturb you any further.” Another void insect humanoid revealed an awkward smile. The lower half of the insect body spread its numerous legs and flew out of the world at high speed.

“You can’t leave.”

Watson squinted his eyes and motioned toward the void insect race. The 100,000 gods beside him started an attack immediately under the command of their separate commanders when the majestic divine kingdom appeared in midair.

Those Blackmoon Knights lacked the trust of others, and the divine realms had not been tempered much. They were little more than a shell. Their might was far inferior to that of the actual divine kingdoms. However, there were 100,000 Blackmoon Knights present. Even if a single person’s might was insufficient for a god, the combined strength of all of them was far greater than that of an average god.

Over 10,000 divine kingdoms surrounded each other at the time. Each divine realm radiated a distinct light corresponding to an unknown altitude in the sky. It seemed as though history’s ancient kingdoms had all descended simultaneously.

Kingdoms were linked to one another, and many powers filled the planet. Some divine kingdoms were more mundane, such as the sword and whirlwind divine kingdoms. Some were also uncommon, such as the death divine kingdoms.

Thousands of diverse powers were contained inside the numerous divine kingdoms. The void insect race that was going to leave changed color as those divine kingdoms encircled it, and more divine kingdoms appeared above their heads as well.

The divine kingdom was like a huge beehive-shaped nest. There were many giant insects with different roles working inside the nest. Some insects were shaped like mantises, holding two huge sickles in their hands. Some were like spiders, spitting out threads that weaved into a huge net in midair, and some insects were dragging their huge bellies, laying eggs.

No matter what kind of insect it was, the surface of its body had purple veins that symbolized the power of the void. The space around the body of the god of the void insect race shattered layer by layer. The space cracks were like the mouths of monsters, swallowing the Blackmoon Knights that were approaching him and the power surrounding the divine kingdom.

“Huh, a mere mortal. He has just advanced to the starlight tier, yet he thinks he can plunder the authority of a god. What a foolish dream.”

The god of the void insect race heaved a sigh of relief. His expression became malevolent. He had already decided that he would immediately call for the void insect race’s army to destroy that place as soon as he left that world.

The void insect race was a race that was similar to humans. They also had powerful reproductive abilities. The difference between them and humans was that the void insect race had a powerful reproductive ability and a powerful strength. Having both made the void insect race currently ranked in the top 100 races in the divine realm.

The number of god-tier elites of the void insect race did not exceed 100 million, but their numbers were at least ten million. Astonishingly, there were ten million gods, and they were all gods that relied on their own hard work to ascend. Thus, annihilating 100,000 small human-like gods was easy.

“What does it matter if you are a mortal? It is not as though a mortal could not slay a god! On the contrary, you demonstrated your power as a god after entering this realm. You want to go now that you have realized the situation is not right. Do you think it’s that easy?”

Watson sneered as he heard the void insect God’s words; a golden-green race chess piece floated out of his breast, and a deformed Mask of Divinity with no facial characteristics and embedded with several gemstones appeared on his face.

“I’m so jealous of my clone! Supernatural Acceleration!”

At the same time, he used the Mask of Divinity’s ability to summon clones and the fused race chess pieces. In the sky in front of Watson, next to the void insect race’s god who was fleeing at high speed, its clone appeared. If there were anything different about the new void insect race’s god that appeared, it would be that ten different elemental auras surrounded its entire body.

“No!”

When the void insect race’s god’s doppelganger was in midair, its body suddenly expanded and exploded, fusing purple void energy into the surrounding space, transforming the entire space into an iron bucket. The void insect race’s god could no longer tear the space apart within that iron bucket space to devour the Blackmoon Knights’ attack. Instead, it screamed and watched as thousands of divine kingdoms crashed into his body.

The impact of hundreds of divine kingdoms caused the entire earth to tremble, and some of the tall mountains in the dwarven kingdom below crumbled under the strong shockwave, as did the ground in the deep valley.

The Dwarven Kingdom was relatively close to the quake’s epicenter, so it was severely damaged, as were the other kingdoms worldwide. The entire continental plate was in an earthquake, while the ocean outside the continent stirred up huge waves, with many areas near the sea experiencing waves that were more than ten meters high.

The world was like that. The void insect race’s god at the center of the collision had turned into a puddle of meat. The juice splattered everywhere. There appeared a puddle of pitch-black substance. Watson hooked his hand and grabbed it.

[Congratulations, Master, for obtaining a starlight-tier product. The remains of the void insect race’s god can be used to obtain the power of the void.]

Watson had just killed the God of Destruction and obtained the god’s remains. Then, he had obtained another god’s remains, and he merged the two remains without hesitation.

“Fusion system, activate.”

[Congratulations, Master, for obtaining a starlight-tier product—a Spatial-elemental Magical Source.]

A star-like purple ball of light appeared in Watson’s hand following the system notification, gradually rising into the sky and fusing with the entire world. With a magic symbol that looked like a door in the center, ten other starlight-tier magical sources appeared in the sky, with different magical elements flashing in midair.

Watson had created the eleventh magical source—spatial-elemental magical source.

[Starlight-tier product: Spatial-elemental Magical Source.]

[Effect: Spatial-elemental magical source contains spatial magic. After using it, one can obtain spatial transference, sealing, cutting, shattering, and other magical skills.]

[Additional effect: Space Immutability (after obtaining the spatial-elemental magical source, the world’s space will be permanently reinforced. Only those at peak starlight-tier will have the ability to shatter it).]

Staring at the new magical source that was slowly rising above his head, Watson reached out his right hand toward the other gods who were panicking and continuously retreating and gently clenched it.

“Spatial Seal!”

The voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire area. An incomparably large arm appeared in the sky, formed entirely of purple void energy, and when it clenched, the space wherever it passed would freeze. The purple palm enveloped every god within, threatening to crush them along with the frozen space.

“Star Kingdom!”

Many gods’ expressions darkened when faced with Watson’s attack. Only the Twilight Star Spirit bones, whose entire body was covered in a strange color, moved their chin. Starlight burst from the surface of his body and fused into a colorful, turbid divine kingdom in midair.

Turbid and gorgeous—those two seemingly contradictory characteristics were reflected in the same divine kingdom. The divine kingdom summoned by the Twilight Star Spirit was different from the other divine kingdoms. Calling it a divine kingdom was better than calling it a planet. There were many kingdoms on a planet. Various people lived in their respective kingdoms and fought against each other.

The cycle of reincarnation did not stop, and that powerful force spread in all directions when Watson used the spatial sealing hand created by the fusion of the spatial elemental magic source. Cracks appeared in front of that power of reincarnation, and it shattered into tiny purple crystal shards in the air when Watson used the spatial sealing hand created by the fusion of the spatial-elemental magical source.

The space passage above his head was revealed. Twilight Star Spirit’s deep skull eye sockets flickered with light. Even if there was no flesh and blood, one could see the joy in his heart.

The other gods behind him were even more ecstatic; they had just descended into that world from outside the space passage, and they could not wait to take everything in that world for themselves. They could not wait to leave that place as soon as possible; their state of mind had changed drastically in a short period.

Watson did not continue to attack when he saw that the numerous gods were preparing to leave that realm under the guidance of the Twilight Star Spirit; instead, he placed his hands behind his back, and a tinge of mockery came into his eyes.

“Molecular deceleration!”

A cold female voice came from the sky’s end, and the entire sky, including the space passage, was frozen by the cold, solid ice. The sky was a layer of azure-blue solid ice, reflecting everything below. Nia stepped on the cold air and came over. Her black dress fluttered along with her graceful curves.

Six massive wings composed of many wings gently extended out behind her, covering the sky, and the sky-blue eyes on her lovely face were as difficult to look at as the ice that had been summoned. A tremendous starlight-tier aura spread from her body.

Nia used to be the King of Angels, but she was not like the Blackmoon Knights. After being raised to the starlight tier by Watson, the strength she could unleash far exceeded that of that tier. After all, she was only at gold-tier previously and could already unleash the might of gods.

Even a peak starlight-tier existence would have to kneel in front of the power of a king.

Nia’s strength, according to Watson, might be even greater than his; she was one of his trump cards.

“Who is that girl, and why is the power she emits so strong? Furthermore, the aura emanating from her body makes me feel a little familiar.” In a trance, a god glanced in the direction of Nia and whispered softly.

“I also feel like she’s very familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before,” another god said.

Just as those gods were perplexed and unsure of the girl’s identity in front of them, the Twilight Star Spirit took a step forward. The skeleton’s chin opened and closed with great amplitude. “You’re… Don’t tell me you used to dominate this territory. The brightness of your wings is sufficient to illuminate the many heavens and kingdoms. Right? Are you the King of Angels who sits atop the frozen throne?”

King of Angels!

Hearing the Twilight Star Spirit’s words, the remaining gods looked at Nia again, carefully sizing her up. At that time, the more they looked, the more surprised they were. The crown formed by the angel halo on Nia’s head was beautiful, but the light emitted from the angel wings on her body was not something ordinary angels could compare to in terms of intensity or brightness. In addition, the aura emitted from her body was enough to make them submit. She was definitely the King of Angels.

It was unfathomable that a powerful sovereign-tier elite, the top commander of a race, would appear in such a small world.

In response to the Twilight Star Spirit’s question, Nia responded slowly, “King of Angels, that was my name in the past, but I have not used it in a long time. My current name is Nia, and I am only a handmaiden by Young Master Watson’s side.”

“A handmaiden? Really?”

It was not just the other gods who were surprised at the time; the Twilight Star Spirit was as well. Why was the King of Angels serving a human as a handmaiden? What kind of human being would have such great prestige? Or was the human not simple? He could be the son of a certain race’s reincarnated god.

The Twilight Star Spirit could not help but look in the direction of Watson and gritted his teeth. When he first entered that world, he had not expected Watson to have such a strong background, just as the King of Angels was already a supreme existence that he could not afford to offend. Then, there seemed to be an important figure who was even stronger than the King of Angels.

He had no idea what was happening in that small world; how could so many significant figures be assembled if there were also 100,000 gods? Could that small world be the backyard of a particular god-king?

The Twilight Star Spirit did not fly toward the frozen sky longer as he thought in his heart, knowing that in the face of the power of the King of angels, even if he used all of his strength to bombard the frozen spot for a day and a night, he might not be able to blast it open.

After a brief pause, he bowed and knelt to the ground, lowering his massive head. “Greetings to the King of Angels and the Master of the King of Angels. I have entered this world by mistake, and I have no intention of harming the people here. I hope the King of Angels and your master can be magnanimous and spare my life.”

“We did not intend to come here either.”

When the other gods saw how the Twilight Star Spirit was so courteous, they realized they should not be foolish and began to protect themselves.

“No matter how you entered this world, since you are here, don’t think of leaving so easily. I won’t kill you, but you must stay and work for me,” Watson said with a smile. The content of his calm tone was shocking.

He had never detained a god to work for him. Even in the ancient times when gods were rampant, gods were still high and mighty and would not be treated as slaves.

Watson’s comments enraged a god whose entire body was like a ball of streaming flesh. He appeared afraid. “How can I be the subordinate to a mortal? I would rather die here if you want me to aid you with your task.”

As he spoke, the flowing meatball surged toward Watson, growing larger as it traveled and the facial features on the meatball’s surface converged around the center.

“The Divine Kingdom of Flesh and Blood!”

The meatball belonged to the Flesh Mountain Demon King race, which had almost infinite life. When they were born, they were giant meatballs that grew rapidly. When the Flesh Mountain Demon King race was young, their entire body was the size of a small hill, but when they were adults, they could turn their flesh into the size of a world.

An entire planet’s worth of flesh and blood. One would think that a powerful attack on such a world would be difficult to penetrate, but the weight of flesh and blood alone was enough to crush the world. Furthermore, the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan possessed another ability. They could store non-fatal attacks and release them after stacking them.

That characteristic of absorbing attacks and counter attacking made the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan one of the top 100 entities in the entire divine kingdom.

At that moment, the Flesh Mountain Demon King’s god summoned the divine kingdom that belonged to it, and his body swelled to the limit and overlapped with the divine kingdom. A world made entirely of flesh and blood appeared and landed in front of Watson, descended with thunderous momentum in the direction of the Dwarven Kingdom.

It was easy to envision that if such a massive body landed on the Dwarven Kingdom, it would crush the entire kingdom.

“Molecular acceleration.”

Watson smiled and extended out his finger, a light spot appearing from his fingertip and floating toward the surface of the Flesh Mountain Demon King’s body as he looked up at the big lump of flesh over his head.

The Flesh Mountain Demon King’s God looked down on it, laughing in his heart at Watson’s futile efforts because he knew how powerful his defense was. Even the Twilight Star Spirit could not break through his defense; even the King of Angels’ molecular deceleration could only freeze it, not kill it directly.

None of that could harm him; only a light dot launched by the demigod Watson could. Furthermore, as long as a bit of tissue remained in his body, he could be restored by ingesting more objects.

Just as the god of the Flesh Mountain Demon King was contemplating that, the light spot collided with his body, causing a loud noise. The light spot expanded and ignited his body, instantly turning him into a pile of ashes; the power that exploded from the light spot had surpassed peak starlight-tier.

“How could that be?”

Fear gripped the god of the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan. He tried to say something, but his body had already melted along with the burning flames before he could open his mouth. He intended to demonstrate his tremendous defense in front of Watson, then utilize the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan’s reputation to terrify them. He was not scared Watson would not be merciful. The case’s progress had been beyond his expectations.

The gods present were silent as they watched the god of the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan burn to ashes with a flick of Watson’s finger.

“It’s a pity that you made the wrong decision.”

Watson blew on his finger. The molecular acceleration of the human race could accelerate energy and allow energy to be transferred from other people’s bodies. He had just transferred the energy in 100,000 Blackmoon Iron Knights’ bodies to himself. Only then would he be able to kill the god of the Flesh Mountain Demon King clan instantly.

He turned around to face the other gods in the sky. Watson said, “I want you to become my servants. Who agrees to this? And who disagrees?”

“I agree.”

“I agree as well.”

The gods, led by the Twilight Star Spirit, agreed one after the other. They no longer dared to resist after seeing the killing of the Flesh Mountain Demon King. The god of the Flesh Mountain Demon King’s defense was far superior to theirs. Watson annihilated them all with a single finger. It would most likely be enough to wipe them out with a single breath.

They were left with only one emotion in their hearts, and that was remorse. They would not have barged in if they had realized there were so many gods living in that small world.

“Since everyone agrees, there is nothing else to say. I will delegate a task to you. What you must do is quite simple. Later, when you return to the skies, get more gods to access that location. I will let you go if you can get a hundred gods. There will be a reward if you exceed that amount. But do not blame me for being impolite if you choose to flee! Nia, please assist me in reopening the frozen passage in the sky caused by molecular deceleration!”

Watson waved his hand, and Nia immediately removed the frozen ice.

“I wonder what’s the reward if we bring in more than a hundred gods?” the Twilight Star Spirit inquired cautiously.

If Watson’s reward was good enough, he should try to entice some gods. Even the Flesh Mountain Demon King’s race and the void insect race could not compete with the Twilight Star Spirit as one of the top hundred powerful races in the heavenly realm. However, it was not as though they did not have foes. The race known as the World Devourers was their most formidable foe.

World Devourers had bodies like black holes and were also world-elemental life forms. Their way of survival was to devour other worlds continuously. Many Twilight Star Spirits had yet to reach adulthood, but they were already being devoured by world devourers as if they were a world, causing the two races to fight constantly.

Given how powerful that small world was, killing them would be deemed retaliation for his clansmen if he could entice some world devourers to visit.

While they were deep in thought, the Twilight Star Spirit heard Watson say, “My reward is very simple. I can help you raise your levels and help you obtain peak starlight-tier tools or even the sovereign-tier ones. ”

“Peak starlight-tier tools or even the sovereign-tier ones? Is that true? ” The gods’ breathing became heavy.

“Is that true?”

They realized how tough it was to advance their tier after becoming gods. They could go for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years with no change in strength.

“Of course, I’m telling the truth. Otherwise, why do you think the King of Angels is working for me? Why do you think there are 100,000 gods in this world?”

Watson’s forceful statements made the gods appear skeptical. Initially, many gods were ready to flee without saying anything once Watson allowed them to leave that world, but they were willing to give it a shot.

After arranging the gods’ work, Watson directed Nia to bring those gods to the divine kingdom and allow them to attract new gods from outside their world. Nia was in charge of overseeing that. Watson leaped down and returned to the Dwarven Kingdom.

The Invention Competition that was initially in progress had become a mess because of the appearance of the gods. Many inventions were crushed and dropped to the ground when the dwarves were escaping, and the number of damaged items was innumerable. The undamaged items were also buried in a pile of scrap metal that was like a mountain of garbage, and they were difficult to find.

Watson kicked several broken inventions at his feet and proceeded directly to the Dwarf King, who was backed by a slew of ministers. Your Majesty, the Dwarven Kingdom’s Invention Competition is not yet over. Let us proceed.”

“Your Majesty, you must be joking. Continue? How can we continue now?”

King Prussia’s lips twitched, and a bitter smirk came on his face. He wanted to continue, but the conference hall had been destroyed.

“Your Majesty, since you have no plans to continue the competition, I am likewise tired of fighting against the gods right now. Later, I will return to the Kingdom of Kings’ with the Blackmoon Knights and Dragon Knights.” Watson bowed to King Prussia. He turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait!” Haymordinger, who was not far away from the Dwarf King, stretched out his hand and stopped him.

“King Watson, now that the space passage has opened, the Dwarven Kingdom and the divine kingdom are connected. It’s not good for you to leave before that problem is solved, right?”

“What’s not good about it?”

Watson’s face displayed an incomprehensible expression. “The Dwarven Kingdom appears to be incredibly powerful. I saw several innovative inventions at the conference. Even the gods do not frighten the Kingdom of Kings. Will the Dwarven Kingdom, which possesses these inventions, fear them?”

When Haymordinger and Prussia heard those remarks, they were powerless to contradict them. If Watson had stated such comments before the gods’ invasion, they must have thought that the Dwarven Kingdom’s technology had persuaded Watson. At that point, they felt as if they were being mocked when they heard that.

After witnessing the gods’ might, they realized they lacked the ability to fight the gods, let alone the Kingdom of Kings, who possessed an army of 100,000 gods. Their plan to utilize the might of technology to scare the Kingdom of Kings was doomed from the start.

“Your Majesty, let’s not beat around the bush. Let me be straightforward. A passage connecting the divine kingdom has appeared in the sky above the Dwarven Kingdom. I’m afraid that we will not be able to live like that. I hope that you can help us solve this problem.”

Haymordinger lowered his head and swallowed his anger.

He had just seen Nia freeze the void in the sky, stopping the gods from departing. They could not enter because the gods could not leave. Unfortunately, the space channel he built was only half-complete. Despite its power to link to the divine realm, it could not be closed.

“I can help, but I can’t help you for free.”

“What would you like in return, Your Majesty? As long as you help to close the passage to the divine kingdom, we will reward you handsomely.”

“I don’t want much either. I will help close the passage connecting the Dwarven Kingdom to the divine kingdom. If the Dwarven Kingdom wants to merge with the Kingdom of Kings and become a part of my kingdom, or if you hand over the dwarf race chess piece to me, I can keep the autonomy of the Dwarven Kingdom.”

“Your Majesty, your conditions are too excessive.”

The other dwarfs had already refuted it indignantly without waiting for King Prussia to speak.

Watson’s terms were the same whether the Dwarven Kingdom was merged with the Kingdom of Kings or the dwarf race chess piece was handed over. If they handed the race’s chess pieces, the dwarven race would suffer much more. They would follow Watson’s commands in the future.

“Now, you are asking for my help. I don’t care. I can opt to do nothing. You can count on your luck then.”

Watson spread his hands. Without even looking at the dwarven ministers, he turned around and was about to leave.

The Dwarf King said dejectedly, “Wait! Your Majesty, I accede to your request. I can give you the dwarven race chess pieces.”

“Your Majesty, you can’t!”

“The dwarven race chess piece is our race’s treasure. If you hand it over to a human, would we be their slaves in the future?”

The dwarves spoke hurriedly, and many of the dwarves were interrupted by King Prussia before they could finish their words.

“Enough! Be quiet. We might be enslaved if we hand over the dwarven chess piece, but we will not be annihilated in a short time. We shall be destroyed quickly if we do not hand them up and face the invasion of the gods, and we may not be able to keep the race chess piece then anyway! If you are determined to challenge this, then please tell me what other option you have besides turning over the chess pieces. How can you fend against the invading gods?”

King Prussia’s beard fluttered in the wind as he spoke, and he looked around with dignity. All the dwarves who felt his gaze lowered their heads and did not dare speak. They knew that King Prussia’s judgment was indeed the best choice at that moment.

There was something that Prussia did not say, and that was that the dwarven race chess piece had been passed down from ancient times for tens of thousands of years. Even the ancient Dwarf King had never truly controlled that chess piece. If he could not truly master the chess piece, he could not command the dwarves. Even if Watson obtained the dwarven race chess piece, he might not be able to tap into its power.

With that thought, he waved his hand behind him and said, “We always stand by our words. Since we have agreed, that dwarven race chess piece is now yours.”

The dwarven race chess piece, which had been covered by a massive protective barrier behind the Dwarf King, suddenly separated from the protective barrier and transformed into a chess piece the size of a fist that flew in the direction of Watson.

Watson reached out and caught the dwarf chess piece. The dwarf chess piece, made of three flying stars that did not collide with each other, revolved in his palm. It had a high-tech aura.

According to the Dwarf King’s explanation and Haymordinger’s demonstration, he had a good understanding of the power inherent in that chess piece. As a result, after obtaining the chess piece, he acted quickly and started the fusion mechanism.

The original golden-green chess piece that had fused the elven and human race chess pieces had changed once more after adding the Dwarven Kingdom’s chess piece.

The fist-sized chess pieces emitted three-colored lights. Around each chess piece was a human face that was constantly changing, a miniature World Tree, and a satellite filled with a sense of technology.

[Congratulations, Master, for fusing three different races’ chess pieces and obtaining the chess piece of the future human race.]

[Sovereign-tier Item: Future Human Chess Piece.]

[Effect: possesses the human, elven, and dwarven chess pieces’ respective effects.]

[Additional effect: Future Acceleration (the fusion effect of the three chess pieces can accelerate the molecular power and send it to the future, allowing one’s power to synchronize with one’s future self. Similarly, it can send items to the future and obtain a more powerful effect).]

A layer of time aura was applied to the evolved race chess pieces. There was a collapsed black tunnel connecting the three races, but no one understood what it was connected to.

The fused chess piece had gotten stronger after combining with the dwarven race chess piece.

Watson’s eyes, which housed everything in the world, became brighter as he felt the history of the dwarves’ innovations that flowed into his head apart from the power of the chess piece.

He had arrived from the modern era. Therefore, he was well aware of the dwarven chess piece’s potency. That degree of comprehension even surpassed his comprehension of the use of the human chess piece.

That pistol was nothing like the dwarves’ Handheld Magical Cannon. It was entirely a technology item.

Holding the handgun, Watson fired a shot at the ground, mimicking the firing posture in his memory. Immediately, a smoking bullet hole appeared on the ground.

“That’s right. As long as it is a technology in my memory, I can design it through the dwarven chess piece. I can even create some illusory technological products. The prerequisite is that there must be theoretical support.”

Watson tossed the gun he was holding. A pistol’s destructive force may most likely demolish a gold-tier warrior’s fighting aura barrier. It was of no service to him. The most essential thing he was going to make next was the most important thing he would create.

A massive turntable emerged in front of him with a wave of his palm. The turntable stood on the ground and continued to spin. Since there was no air in or around it, the turntable’s speed could not be faster or slower.

That was what Watson wanted to create—a perpetual motion machine.

That kind of thing existed only in principle in the world he was in, but since he had the dwarven chess piece, he could make that instrument. It would continue to rotate with no loss of energy.

He opened his right hand again after testing with the perpetual motion machine, and two fist-sized explosives emerged in his grasp, which he flung into the sky.

Two muffled sounds were heard in quick succession. It was as if two suns had emerged in the sky, and space appeared to be on the verge of being perforated and becoming unstable.

Watson built those two bombs to be perfect atomic bombs. In principle, as long as nuclear fission is precisely regulated, the strength of the atomic bomb’s explosion is maximized, and no pollutants were formed after the eruption. Nuclear fusion worked on the same premise. When the reactor was large enough, the power of those two reactions was equal to that of molecular acceleration.

If Watson created a bomb the size of a planet and exploded it correctly, the energy released would be enough to obliterate numerous galaxies and even transcend peak starlight-tier. Watson, of course, did not have as many resources at the time.

“I’ve used the power of the dwarven chess piece. Next, I’ll try the power of combining the three chess pieces.”

The power of the dwarven chess piece was absolute technology. As long as the theory was valid, it could be converted into technology.

After the fusing, Watson mumbled and activated the future acceleration. The power in his body vanished almost instantaneously. Then, behind him, a pitch-black tunnel appeared. In the tunnel, arrows were pointing at him. Unfathomable amounts of power were poured into his body.

That power was derived from the future. His tier was instantaneously lifted to the starlight tier after entering his body. His aura grew stronger as the golden crown on his head doubled in size. The number of thorns on the crown increased, as did the number of forks.

The starlight robe on his body turned into starlight armor. A long cloak that looked like a nebula fell behind him.

Twenty-four large balls of light flew out of the tunnel and drifted behind him when he changed his garments. Each ball of light possessed the power of a top-tier star. If one examined closely, they would notice that those were not light balls at all, but rather magical source balls. The magical source in Watson’s body that the future had accelerated was more than twice as powerful as the eleven magical sources in the world.

After sensing it roughly, he felt elemental properties he had never seen before, such as poison, lightning, ice, and spirit.

In that world, lightning and ice-elemental magical sources could be made utilizing water and fire components. However, it was a unique magical source that could only be obtained by altering a layer, and it would be lost throughout the transition process. Those two magical sources would be substantially boosted with the assistance of the magical source.

Watson wore a massive crown, and the cloak over the back of his armor swayed. The 24 magical sources combined in his hand transformed into a 24-colored holy cannon. It was huge and tyrannical to the extreme.

The dwarves were stunned. Even though they did not quite comprehend that Watson had just created a pistol and a perfect nuclear bomb, they could at least understand it. They knew that Watson was developing cutting-edge technology. However, they could not understand Watson at all at that moment. They only felt submissive when enveloped in his aura.

“That aura… the King of the Kingdom of Kings has completely controlled the dwarven chess piece.” King Prussia, the Dwarf King, had a conflicted expression on his face.

A human had controlled the dwarven chess piece, which no dwarves had ever done. Was that fate?

“Your Majesty, what should we do now? ” The usually resourceful Haymordinger was also panicking at that moment. The aura emanating from Watson’s body made him unable to resist. If not for the fact that he still had a trace of rationality, he had already knelt toward Watson.

“Don’t call me that anymore. The current Dwarf King is the King of the Kingdom of kings. He is the new king of the dwarves now that he has control over the dwarven chess piece.”

King Prussia sighed; he had a complicated look on his face. He gritted his teeth and was the first to kneel to Watson. He took off his crown and lowered his proud head. “Greetings to His Majesty, the Dwarf King Watson. Long live His Majesty.”

“Greetings to His Majesty, the new Dwarf King!”

Seeing Prussia kneeling, the other dwarves also knelt toward Watson. Soon, the venue was filled with dwarves. Their voices joined and soared into the sky..
