Chapter 1707: Dictator

Chapter 1707: Dictator

The turn of events on the battlefield had far exceeded anyone’s expectations.

Not only were many Magus Civilization powerhouses left momentarily stunned, but even the Magus Alliance creatures and the Gallant Federation’s vassal forces were briefly at a loss over how to respond.

Feylis was among the first to recover her composure.

Staring at Seiron, now consumed by madness, brutality, and bloodlust, she could not help but wonder aloud, “Did that explosion just now destroy most of the Gallant Federation’s control chips inside him?”

I never imagined his hatred for the Gallant Federation ran this deep. If I had known earlier, perhaps I should have...

Though he has been severely injured, if he survives this crisis intact, he’ll undoubtedly solidify his position as a peak Rank Six creature.

That robot’s close-range assault did not just break the Gallant Federation’s control over him—it also unleashed his potential.

Misfortune and fortune are often intertwined. After this, will he truly possess the combat power of a peak Rank Six being?

She sneered coldly as she looked toward Seiron in the distance.

Meanwhile, Darian Wraith could not help but tremble slightly as he witnessed Seiron’s frenzy firsthand.

This Rank Five powerhouse of the Shadowbat Civilization was clad in black, form-fitting armor. Renowned for both his strength and his sense of justice, Darian’s moment of fear was a rare sight indeed.

This is the real Seiron, the monster who once struck terror into countless planes and beings!

Was that detached, restrained demeanor before nothing more than deliberate suppression? Or was it all an act?

Under the oppressive pressure radiating from Seiron, the Batwing Helmet Darian wore began emitting concentric ripples of pulling force in every direction.

Sensing the fluctuations from the world-class secret treasure, Seiron finally stopped gnawing on his prey. He turned his head and glanced in that direction.

Spitting out a lump of bloody flesh, Seiron cast a glance at Darian and let out a cold snort.

“Hmph. A little runt from the Shadowbat Civilization, huh?”

Arid Expanse World and the Shadowbat Civilization had long been bitter enemies.

Seiron and the Shadowbat Civilization’s Rank Six beings were old rivals who had clashed for years.

Just as Darian Wraith drew a deep breath, settled into a combat stance, and braced himself for Seiron’s attack...

The mightiest being of Arid Expanse World did not charge toward him. Instead, Seiron cast a cold glance at the Rank Six Apocalypse World creature still locked in his grasp. Its neck was a mangled, blood-soaked mess, and its life force was already ebbing away.

With casual disdain, Seiron tossed the Rank Six Apocalypse World creature to the ground, lowered the visor of his battered Wasteland Armor, and then plunged straight toward the nearest Gallant Federation fleet.

After what he had just done with the Lightning Ax, Seiron’s stance was now unmistakably clear to all.

“Stop him! His body has already been pushed beyond its limits. He’s a spent force now—do not be intimidated by his earlier actions!”

Inside the Gallant Federation’s flagship command center, Five-Star General Meston slammed his fist onto the control console as he barked orders to the surrounding fleets.

First, the eight-winged angel had defected. Then, in the heat of battle, the peak Rank Six Seiron had turned against them.

The situation facing the Gallant Federation forces in the subspace battlefield had become dire.

As General Meston issued his commands, Feylis simultaneously issued her own directive to the Magus Civilization powerhouses across the battlefield.

“Assist Seiron. Join the coordinated assault on the Gallant Federation’s fleets. His condition isn’t as favorable as it appears. Do everything possible to prevent his death,” she ordered.

Assist Seiron?

This command was difficult for Darian to accept.

How many lives had the Shadowbat Civilization lost over the years because of Seiron?

How was such a blood debt ever to be repaid?!

And it was not only the Shadowbat Civilization. Karl, the Rank Five Klytheran warrior; Beatrice, the Rank Four powerhouse from Marvelous Plane; and Orric, the Rank Five Aquarian powerhouse... None of them held any fondness for this man.

They were all victims of the oppression once imposed by Arid Expanse World and its dictator, Seiron.

But there was no room for refusal. On this battlefield, the Magus Civilization called the shots.

Once Feylis spoke, not only did the knights and mages of Magus World move to support Seiron, but many foreign deities of the Magus Alliance also began converging along his flight path.

Seiron was neither deaf nor foolish. Faced with the stance taken by his former enemy and the Magus Civilization, he responded in kind.

Judging by appearances alone, there was no sign that he was a spent force.

He threw back his head and let out a powerful war cry, one loud enough for every Arid Expanse World legion across the battlefield to hear.

“All forces advance! Follow me and slaughter the Gallant Federation legions and the Grand Apocalypse World forces! They are all shameless deceivers and ambushers! Kill them!”

Seiron’s furious roar laid bare his seething hatred for both the Gallant Federation and the Grand Apocalypse World.

It seemed that even nearly eating a Rank Six creature of the Grand Apocalypse World had not fully extinguished Seiron’s seething rage.

At this point, the Arid Expanse World legions on the subspace battlefield were rapidly dwindling.

This alone made it clear that the Gallant Federation had treated Arid Expanse World as nothing more than expendable cannon fodder during this war.

They felt no remorse whatsoever for the casualties suffered by those legions.

Yet when faced with Seiron’s counterattack, more than two-thirds of the remaining Arid Expanse World forces still answered their king’s call.

Without the slightest hesitation, they turned on the spot and clashed with the Gallant Federation legions and the Grand Apocalypse World forces fighting alongside them.

This was what a “dictator” truly looked like!

Although Seiron’s reputation across neighboring star domains was abysmal, within Arid Expanse World itself, no other being could rival his authority or the reverence he commanded.

Moreover, it was under Seiron’s rule that Arid Expanse World had truly begun its rise toward glory.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Arid Expanse World genuinely possessed the potential to grow into a large-sized world!

The rise of any powerful planar civilization was usually built upon the remains of countless weaker civilizations in the surrounding star domains.

Seiron had never truly grasped the scale of the calamity and suffering he inflicted on those neighboring planes.

Survival of the fittest was a fundamental law of the Astral Realm.

Seiron’s weakness was precisely why he had been deceived and controlled by the Gallant Federation!

As for the remaining third of the Arid Expanse World legions, it was not that they ignored Seiron’s call to arms.

Before they could even act, they were annihilated by the Gallant Federation fleet’s concentrated firepower, which reacted faster.

The central subspace battlefield plunged into even greater chaos than before!

Amidst this turmoil, Sein did not rush to engage the Gallant Federation legions. Instead, he flew straight toward the severely damaged Fermera.
