The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2551
Above the blue sea, two figures stepped on the surface of the sea in a tense confrontation.

With raging energy pressure all over his body, Zeus’ eyes changed from lightning eyes to ordinary eyes. He stared with biting killing intent at Roger, who was dozens of meters away from him.

“Roger Clarke, you’ve crossed the line!” Zeus said coldly.

Roger still stood on the sea waves with his hands behind his back. He stared at Zeus calmly and said casually, “Crossed the line? When the kingship holders of the West invaded my country and my Arcadia Island, the West had already crossed the line. Now, I’m just taking a stroll in the West. How is that crossing the line?”

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Zeus said, “The king of disciples of the door has nothing to do with my 12 Gods! Although the 12 Sacred Halls of the West are in charge of the two doors of the West, the kings of disciples are from that place! You should go there and settle the score with that guy, not against my sacred city!”

“Hahaha…”

Roger said, “The door is under the care of the 12 Gods of the West, but you let that thing choose its kingship. Isn’t it your fault? Zeus, you must be senile. After being the chief god for so many years, you’ve become more and more foolish. The group of monsters suppressed under the sacred city can’t be recorded as your merit of achievement forever! As long as the demonic hall remains, there’ll never be a day of peace in your West! You clearly know this fact, yet you chose to submit to it and become its accomplice!”

This last sentence was powerful and deafening!

Zeus was filled with gloom, and a hesitant look flashed in his eyes.

He shouted, “No! I didn’t submit to it! I’m the chief god, the master of the Western world. No one can make me submit! That damned beast only made use of the rules of that place! As you know very well, Roger, even if you and I combine forces, we can’t kill that beast! Its existence is a threat to this world. It has been waiting for its king to descend upon this world! Thousands of years… It has lived thousands of years! At its fullest strength, it won’t be inferior to either of us! I still have the citizens of the sacred city and the entire Western world to care for! I don’t have a choice!”

Roger calmly sighed and said, “Zeus, you have a choice. You can choose to stand with me and challenge it. We can seal it for ten years and put it to sleep for ten years! You should understand that time is running out for this world! Ten years is the only amount we can strive for. The stargate won’t be able to hold on any longer.”

Zeus frowned as a grim look flashed in his eyes. Then, he sneered and said, “Roger, are you inviting me to join you in a fight against that beast? Do you think I’ll fall for it? To me, its existence also threatens your existence in the East. As long as it exists, you won’t dare to cross the border easily. It’ s a balance, don’t you get it?”

Hearing this, Roger frowned and said with a sigh, “Zeus, in your opinion, is the enmity between the East and the West really that important? Is the common destiny of mankind really that worthless in your eyes? Once the stargate is breached, those creatures from the other side will enter this world. When the time comes, it’s not as if you don’t know what will happen.”

Zeus laughed and said, “No, it’s you who don’t understand! With it around, the West can have two choices. But for you in the East, you have been opposing those creatures behind the stargate since ancient times. For them, your existence is a threat. You’re their mortal enemy!”

With that said, Zeus’ eyes were full of chills.

Roger took a deep breath, and the sea waves beneath his feet surged due to his emotions.

“Zeus, are you willing to become a slave to the other shore?” Roger asked coldly.

With the lightning spear in his hand, a surge of energy pressure raged on Zeus’ body. He said, “You’ll know my choice only if you can beat me.”

Hearing that, Roger shook his head and said, “In that case, a fight is inevitable.”

With that said, the sea suddenly surged with raging energy pressure, which quickly spread throughout the entire ocean!

Boom!

The battle had started again! This was an unprecedented battle!

Chapter 2552
From the electronic satellite images from outer space, it could be seen that one area of the ocean was caught in the vortex of battle. There was raging energy pressure, soaring flames, and waves hundreds of meters high. That scene was like a meteorite impact or nuclear explosion. The satellites of all the countries captured this apocalyptic scene.

The Octagon and Nonagon, as well as the golden palace of Country Y, all fell into silence. This was a battle between the world’s top two powerhouses in the realm of the other shore. It was also a full-scale battle at that.

Terrifying!

If the battle continued, the entire ocean would be dried up. Even a continent would be reduced to rubble. No one could predict the outcome of this battle.

The news was that three days later, Zeus returned to the sacred city in a wretched state. Even his lightning spear had broken into three pieces due to the battle.

Since that day, Zeus went into seclusion. Even the sacred city closed its doors to the outside world. The entire Western world was shrouded in an inexplicable air of depression. There were rumors that Zeus had lost, his body had collapsed, and he was on the brink of death.

In the sacred city, the forces under the command of Zeus’ two sons also began to move their battle for power from the dark out into the open. They started to compete for power fearlessly.

The remaining gods of the West also began to tighten their control over the respective bases and business outside. In short, the entire West was shrouded in a great shadow of pressure.

Back to Philip, who met up with Fennel in his private estate. Three days later, Roger arrived at this manor in a bad state.

“Father!” Philip saw his father’s pale face and the chaotic state of the power of rules in his body.

Roger sat on the sofa in the hall with Philip’s support.

The energy and chaotic power of rules that leaked from his body prevented normal people from approaching him.

Roger coughed violently and said, “I‘m fine. I’m just a little injured.”

Philip saw Roger’s condition and turned to Fennel with a frown.

Fennel said, “I have a Dragon Transformation Pond that I found a few years ago.”

Hearing that, Roger said without further ado, “Okay, I’ll reward you in the future.”

After saying that, he followed Fennel into the depths of the manor.

When Fennel came out, Philip quickly asked, “How’s my father?”

Fennel shook his head and said, “He doesn’t look good. It’s the first time I’ve seen your father like this. The power of rules in his body is in utter chaos.”

“What are the consequences?” Philip asked.

Fennel said gravely, “I’m not sure, but with the Dragon Transformation Pond and your father’s efforts, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I’m going to find out about Zeus’ condition now. After a battle like this, I’m guessing Zeus isn’t doing well either.”

Chapter 2553
Philip did not continue his line of questioning, and Fennel quickly left the manor. During this time, Philip remained in the manor and kept guard at the entrance leading to the secret chamber. He could sense the vast, chaotic energy and power of rules inside the secret chamber. His father’s condition was not that good.

Half a day later, Fennel returned. His expression changed rapidly as if he was heavily burdened.

“So, what did you find out?” Philip sat on the sofa in the living room and asked.

Fennel sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said, “The situation is not too good. Zeus is in seclusion now. According to the information from the scouts, Zeus’ injuries are not light. The sacred city is under martial law now, and the fight between Leo and Amos has moved from the dark out into the open. The sacred city has been divided into two forces. They’re now in the process of seizing the power of the chief god.”

Hearing this, Philip fell silent. After thinking for a while, he said, “Is Zeus really in seclusion?”

Fennel nodded and said, “He should be. Since your father is already in this state, Zeus shouldn’t be any better. Besides, according to his temper, he wouldn’t leave the sacred city unattended like this, unless his strength and body have encountered a huge crisis.”

Philip’s face was grave as he asked tentatively, “What’s suppressed underneath the sacred city?”

Hearing that, Fennel’s face instantly became dark and grave as he said, “Those things suppressed under the sacred city are a bunch of monsters from thousands of years ago. Only the chief god of the sacred city combined with the sacred sword can suppress them. Once these monsters escape from the sacred city, they’ll cause immeasurable destruction to the entire Western world and even the Eastern world!”

“What kind of monsters?” Philip asked.

After a moment of silence, Fennel said slowly, “Beelzebub!”

“Beelzebub?” Philip was dumbfounded, his face full of surprise.

He said, “Isn’t that a mythical creature? Why is such a monster here?”

Fennel nodded before he shook his head and said, “No, those monsters just look similar to Beelzebub. They’re not the real thing, but you can consider them a variant of Beelzebub. They’re creatures from the other shore. Thousands of years ago, they were suppressed here by the first chief god of the sacred city! Several of these monsters escaped decades ago and wreaked havoc in the sacred city, even destroying several surrounding cities. If not for Zeus, I’m afraid things would’ve been much worse. Moreover, those creatures almost broke Zeus because he couldn’t wield the sacred sword.”

Hearing this, Philip understood a little more.

To suppress those monsters, not only was the strength of the other shore needed but also the sacred sword. However, Zeus, the chief god of the sacred city, could not use the sacred sword now.

“Don’t outsiders know that Zeus can’t use the sacred sword?” Philip asked.

Fennel chuckled and said, “So what if they knew? Zeus is the chief god. Who dares to oppose him? Besides, it’s not that he can’t use it at all. In the past, Zeus was able to use the sacred sword, but because of one choice, something seemed to have changed in him. Hence, the sacred sword no longer acknowledges him.”

With that said, Fennel stared at Philip and said, “By the way, if I’m not mistaken, it seemed that you were holding the sacred sword in your hand when you fought with Leo?”

Philip nodded and said, “Yeah, i’m not too sure either. But I can feel the sword’s dependence on me, just like a child who has found someone he trusts.”

Fennel looked at Philip in surprise and said, “In the history of the Western world, there has never been an Easterner who could wield the sacred sword. You’re the first. There must be some other reason for this.”

Philip was silent, thought for a moment, and asked, “Will my father be okay?”

Fennel shook his head and said, “With the Dragon Transformation Pond, your father should be fine. But I don’t know what will happen next.”

After this, the living room fell into silence. A moment later, the guard outside the door came in, bowed, and said, “Lord Apollo, a man named Steven asks to see you.”

Fennel raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Philip, and said, “Why is this guy here?”

Soon, Steven walked into the living room led by the guard.

Chapter 2554
With a smile on his face and looking as handsome as ever, Steven spread his arms as soon as he entered. He exclaimed, “Oh, Young Patriarch Clarke, Lord Apollo, it’s good to see you again.”

Philip embraced Steven slightly, but Fennel declined.

Steven was not concerned and merely smiled.
