Chapter 2264 A New Year, A New Era

Meanwhile, on the other side, Santiago had been missing for an entire day.

Emmanuel had yet to hear any news of him. On the morning of New Year’s Eve, after sharing an early celebratory dinner with Mackenzie and the others, he set out to meet up with Ethan.

His task was clear: to ensure the safety of Ethan and the congressional officials accompanying him to Divine Mountain’s Chapel of Oros.

At that very moment, countless forces and influential figures had already arrived ahead of them, having made their way there a day earlier.

That same day, Gwain led Wyatt and several elite warriors of the Lannister family up the mountain. After all, once Ethan completed the blessing ceremony for the new year, the true spectacle awaited–a clash that had seized the attention of the entire nation.

It was the battle hailed as the ultimate showdown on Divine Mountain. A duel that would determine the honor of the nation and the dignity of Shoiya–Yorick’s challenge against the leader of the Eight Supremes, the Zen Master.

Wyatt gazed up at the towering peak, its slopes veiled in mist, and murmured in quiet awe, “The rumors didn’t exaggerate. Divine Mountain truly lives up to its legendary name.”

Though Gwain was proud and ambitious, he did not dismiss the sentiment. Instead, he let out a cool, confident laugh. “Divine Mountain… A fitting place for me to claim the pinnacle of martial arts.”

“Hah! Exactly!”

“This new year will mark the rise of the Lannister family, led by none other than Mr. Gwain!”

“In the years to come, even if the people forget the name of their leader, they will all remember this- Gwain is the strongest warrior in the land!”

The loyal retainers wasted no time in showering him with praise.

Wyatt said nothing, but anticipation burned in his eyes. Tomorrow, he would finally witness just how powerful Gwain had become.

“Hmph. Not just the strongest in this nation.”

The moment Gwain spoke, the sycophantic voices fell silent. Some exchanged uncertain glances.

“I will be the strongest in the world.”

With that declaration, he lifted his chin, his expression unreadable.

A brief pause stretched between them, and then, as if on cue, his retainers erupted into agreement.

“Yes! The strongest in the world!”

“The greatest under heaven!”

“The mightiest in the universe!”
