Chapter 86: Assassinate the Marshal, Seize the Throne! I Am the New God‑Demon King!

Soul Dagger!

All Laws Unpenetrable!

Zero‑frame opening, how to dodge?!

Stab a Marshal, isn't that damn easy?!

Soul Dagger's black aura swirls, wildly devouring the Marshal's life essence!

Growth progress: 459/!

Growth progress: 712/!

Growth progress: 948/!

Growth progress: 1247/!

Progress skyrockets!

"Roar—!!!"

Below.

The crimson war sea formed by the God‑Demon legion finally sensed the earth‑shattering upheaval on the throne!

Fury!

Uncontrollable fury!

Terrifying auras surged skyward!

Each member's eyes turned blood‑red!

Locked onto that rebel who dared to assassinate the Marshal!

They intend to tear Su Ming apart!

To crush his bones and scatter his ashes!

But at that moment.

Su Ming lifted his eyes...

Cold!

"Hmph!"

He snatched from the opponent's dulled hand the staff that symbolizes supreme royalty…

Crimson‑gold scepter!

Letting the Marshal, whose Qi was like a wandering thread, collapse on the ground.

He raised the scepter high, his voice like thunder, blasting the void!

"I say..."

"Is he the one who will lead you to break this ten‑thousand‑year deadlock?!"

"Is he the one who will lead you to win this war?!"

Su Ming hammered the base of the scepter down heavily.

"Not him!"

"It is I!"

Buzz—!

The aura spreads.

The endless murderous intent that rose skyward stalled!

All divine and demon movements halted.

They stared at the figure wielding the scepter in the void.

In their scarlet eyes, bewilderment filled.

Su Ming smiled.

A cold, maddening smile!

He never forgot the Karma he glimpsed on the K81 altar through the Eye of Truth—

'The king sees no king, the marshal sees no marshal!'

'This stalemate has been trapped for ten thousand years; only the one who holds the pieces can break this deadlock, thereby establishing the realm and achieving ultimate supremacy!'

"The one who holds the pieces... is me!"

"The one who breaks the deadlock... is me!"

"Let me be his strategist?"

Su Ming's voice rose sharply, full of domineering arrogance!

"On what grounds?!"

"He also deserves it?!"

"This ultimate supremacy... should be mine!!!"

Boom—!!!

The moment the words fell.

Within Su Ming, the Qi and blood forged from countless Source Blood erupted without restraint!

A crimson pillar of light, brighter, more domineering, and purer than the blood‑flame dragon formed by the entire divine‑demon legion below, pierced the whole plane!

He was a king!

The king sees no king!

Therefore...

So, who dares to claim kingship before him, who dares to make him bow and submit…

Who is his arch-enemy!

He should be executed!

Below, the God-Demon Legion fell silent, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

It is the king's aura!

Vaster than the former lord's!

"Now!"

Su Ming raised his scepter high and issued his first decree!

"I am the New King!"

"Submit!"

"Or die!"

After a brief silence,

I don't know which god-demon first discarded their weapons, knelt on one knee, and lowered their head.

Immediately after,

Rumble——

The boundless crimson war sea, countless god-demons...

All knelt on one knee!

With the most devout, fervent voice...

They offered their loyalty to their New King!

"We greet the New King!!!"

"We greet the New King!!!"

The sound wave surged heaven-high, shattering the eternal silence of this void.

And just at this moment.

The scarlet gold scepter in Su Ming's hand, which had lain silent, finally hummed.

Brilliant Red Light burst forth, completely engulfing Su Ming!

It acknowledged the one who personally slew the former lord, stepping on corpses to ascend the throne...

New King!

Su Ming looked down upon the crimson sea of those who had submitted...

Listening to the sound wave of loyalty that shattered the void...

He felt only... his blood boiling!

But beneath that boiling heat lay a sheet of ice.

"Hah..."

He secretly let out a breath of relief.

As early as the moment he won the chess match,

A line of illusory numbers visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

【Instance Closed Countdown: 09:59】

This is the greatest confidence that lets him dare to assassinate the commander.

This is a bold gamble playing with time!

If he loses, at worst he'll stall for time, pat his butt and run!

Now it seems.

He won the bet!

And he made a killing!

"Everyone!"

Su Ming's voice echoed.

He did not shout any empty slogans.

【105> He simply stated a fact in the plainest tone.

Just using the most plain tone, stating a fact.

"The old era has been buried."

"Your fate was once to be trapped in the game, endlessly reincarnating until worn away."

"But now, I have come."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the pairs of fervent eyes below, then his voice suddenly rose!

"Follow me!"

"You will no longer be pawns!"

"I will lead you out of this Prison Cage to witness the true myriad worlds!"

"Conquer! Plunder! Plant my royal flag in every world you can see!"

"Now, mobilize the forces, sharpen the weapons!"

"Await my next summon!"

"When that time comes, it will be... the start of war!"

Boom——!!!

Below, that crimson war sea erupted with a roar a hundred times fiercer than before!

"War! War! War!"

Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.

He is still too weak right now…

This Divine Demon Legion is, for the time being, only a visible yet untouchable trump card for him.

First, he gives them a grand promise, dangling their appetite.

And he himself needs to go outside first to scout the way.

To prepare for the feast that may come later, he seeks the first sacrifice!

And just then.

【Instance Closing Countdown: 00:01】

Time's up.

The surrounding space begins to warp violently.

Su Ming gives the Divine Demon Legion one last glance, the one that had paid him the highest respect.

He makes a gesture, and his figure is completely devoured by endless light.

Rui, worship!

……

Chemical Plant, third floor.

Inside a hidden compartment.

Space tears, and Su Ming's figure staggers out, regaining his footing.

The throne altar forged from white bones and broken blades still stands in place.

Only the massive skeleton on the altar that symbolized the old king has already vanished.

Su Ming's mind shifts, activating the Eye of Truth.

【Altar Number】: K81

【Master Recognized】

Master Recognized?!

Seeing those three characters, Su Ming instantly gains insight.

He tries, sending out a thought.

"Collect!"

It should be noted that before, he hadn't ignored those ordinary altars, even the Crimson Throne.

But no matter the method, he couldn't move them a fraction.

Like coordinates fixed to the world's Rule, immovable.

Buzz—!

The next moment, Su Ming's heart pounds wildly.

In his Dimensional Reduction Warehouse, a phantom altar suddenly appears.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Su Ming's face lights up with ecstatic joy.

In other words…

As long as the altar recognizes the master, he can take it away!

Suppressing his excitement, Su Ming turns his gaze to the scepter in his hand.

Its whole body is cast from crimson gold, coiled with a ferocious flame dragon.

At its tip, a still‑burning stellar core is set.

It is the symbol of royal authority he snatched from that commander!

Eye of Truth, activate!
