Chapter 977: 0575 Endgame (Part III)

"Hiss..."

Hearing Li Ang's proposal—which was less "out of the box" and more "dragging a Pegasus to race in hell"—the two siblings of the fallen kingdom couldn't help but look at each other, discovering that their pupils were shaking just as wildly.

Although they had long known that this person was not quite normal, aren't you a bit too abnormal? Even if an ordinary person lets their imagination run wild, they wouldn't think of destroying the entire kingdom directly, would they?

"Whether you do it or not is up to you; I just offered an idea."

Li Ang spread his hands, his expression unchanged:

"After the two of you surrendered, the blood oath was indeed broken in part, which proves that my line of thought is at least correct. The prerequisite for this blood oath is indeed your status as the Krolok royal family.

And although the Kingdom of Krolok has just been declared a fallen kingdom, the territory of the Kingdom of Krolok is currently still intact. You still have the possibility of leaving here or being taken away from the territory, so the blood oath on you has not been completely lifted.

So, if you want to lift the last half of the blood oath, the best way is naturally to prescribe the right medicine: destroy the Kingdom of Krolok in one go, making the King-Slaying Society's blood oath fundamentally invalid. The problems on you will naturally be solved."

"..."

The logic is indeed this logic, but isn't the method you chose a bit too extreme?

"Is there no gentler way?"

After hearing Li Ang's words, Prince Andre couldn't help but suggest:

"For example, you bring people to occupy it, and then do something else to make the Kingdom of Krolok lose its territory in name?"

"That is possible, but can you wait until then?"

Pointing to Fei Liya's body, which was covered in crow feathers, Li Ang reminded:

"Except for taking action directly and destroying the entire Kingdom of Krolok in one go, no other method can complete the 'destruction' of the Kingdom of Krolok's territory before your souls are annihilated. There is no possibility of 'coexistence' between the two of you and the entire Kingdom of Krolok."

Indeed, this is the only way.

After glancing at his sister's situation, Prince Andre couldn't help but sigh. He then staggered and turned around, beckoning to the huge "Sunset" painting in the distance.

He really didn't expect that not only would he be the monarch of a fallen kingdom once, but in the end, he would have to destroy the entire Kingdom of Krolok with his own hands.

And just as he stood before the painting, sighing as he rolled the people in the painting out of the kingdom stroke by stroke, Prince Andre seemed to faintly understand something, and he looked back at Li Ang with a complex expression.

Noticing his strange gaze, Li Ang couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

Prince Andre shook his head:

"I was just wondering why you would come up with this kind of solution."

"Of course, it is to defend the Watchtower and thereby protect all of humanity."

Hearing Prince Andre's words, Li Ang, who had always been loyal to the Bureau of Cleanup, replied immediately without hesitation:

"For our Bureau of Cleanup, as long as one of the twelve royal families is completely severed, 'anomalies' at the Holy Spirit level can already enter the present world freely. If a total of more than three lineages are severed, some weaker True Gods can also barely squeeze in. This result is something the Bureau absolutely cannot tolerate."

"Besides this?"

Prince Andre turned his head back, continuing to "paint" the citizens away from the territory of the Kingdom of Krolok, while whispering in confusion:

"Actually, from the first time I met you, I felt that you seemed to have an inexplicable malice toward the entire Kingdom of Krolok. It intensified after you attacked Administrative District No. 3, as if..."

"You must have felt wrong."

Interrupting Prince Andre's words without hesitation, Li Ang looked ahead and explained frankly:

"I treat all kingdoms equally and do not hold any malice toward you alone."

"Alright..."

Glancing at Li Ang's expression, Prince Andre hesitated for a moment, then said nothing more. He continued to hold the paintbrush and did the preparatory work before destroying the Kingdom of Krolok. Li Ang, standing beside Prince Andre, let the young hound take the robber siblings away while glancing at him sideways.

This person's intuition is not generally sharp. For the Kingdom of Krolok, whose "model" is very deformed, he indeed didn't have any good intentions.

According to the documents he obtained after attacking Administrative District No. 3, the actual territory controlled by the entire Kingdom of Krolok is huge, about 400,000 square kilometers, with more than 37 million people living under their "system."

But apart from the 1.3 million citizens in those 800 blocks of the Kingdom of Krolok who chew disgusting vegetable paste every day, the remaining 96% of the people cannot call their days living; they can only be called barely surviving.

Especially those floating crystal mines—to mine this stuff, countless people die every year. The other types of mining areas and resource production areas, although not as bloody as the floating crystal mining areas, are not much better.

The prosperity and advancement of the entire Kingdom of Krolok are supported by those 35 million people sacrificing their own flesh and blood, using a full 96-97% of pain to exchange for 3-4% of prosperity.

Although in the vast majority of kingdoms, this kind of thing cannot be avoided, the difference is only in the degree of severity. But the Kingdom of Krolok is especially excessive; they truly only took the "benefits" and threw away all the "burdens" without exception.

If it were normal times, considering that even the worst order is better than complete chaos, plus directly destroying the kingdom would also cause trouble for the Bureau of Cleanup, he might have thought of some gentler methods and taken it step by step.

But now, since this matter is linked to the Watchtower and has the "great cause" of protecting all of humanity as a reason, it is natural to do something big in one go and completely reveal this scar!

Almost there...

After a long period of depiction, "Krolok Under the Sunset" was painted beyond recognition by Prince Andre's own hands, becoming "The Kingdom of Krolok, Empty After All Citizens Were Safely Blown Abroad by a Gale."

Looking at the countless "little black dots" with bewildered expressions on the wilderness outside the painting, Prince Andre breathed a sigh of relief. Then, under Li Ang's expectant gaze, he raised the paintbrush saturated with paint and twisted it heavily at the far end of the canvas.

The light shone brightly.

Following Prince Andre's paintbrush, a touch of golden yellow quietly bloomed at the edge of the orange-red sunset and faded extremely rapidly. Amazingly, for every bit the color on the canvas faded, the sun's radiance became more intense.

When Prince Andre took out the broken painting knife, scraped off the thick base color, and applied a layer of light white paint, the gentle sunset on the horizon had already become so bright that it was blinding.

And in the 800-plus blocks of the Kingdom of Krolok, countless surging flames had already erupted. Everything that could burn was ignited, and even the metal that could not be burned began to turn red and soften under the fierce baking of the scorching white sun. ===== CHAPTER 978 =====
