My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 422 - Watson vs Augustus

Chapter 422: Watson vs Augustus

“Everyone, don’t be too unreasonable. Who do you think I am? Even if Antonio cheated, would I, a Sword Saint, cheat for my disciple?”
Faced with the voices of the contestants, Reid opened his eyes wide. Crisscrossing threads immediately appeared beside him. Those threads seemed to be connected to fate. They contained the aura of a god, causing the contestants to shut their mouths out of fear subconsciously. As expected of a Sword Saint, his strength was extreme.
Even though they were afraid, they were still very dissatisfied. They only turned the scolding from their mouths into whispers in their hearts.
“Reid, what are you saying? What do you mean by being different from me? You even said that I would cheat. As an astrologer, am I inferior to you, a Sword Saint? I am furious. However, I am magnanimous, and I am too lazy to explain myself to you. The competition takes priority. Since we are unable to gain the trust of those contestants, we can only let His Majesty come personally to draw lots.”
Although Antonio had left the drawing venue, he did not go far. After hearing Reid’s words, he rushed back and complained unhappily. At the same time, his subsequent words caused a huge uproar throughout the venue.
It was such an honor to let the King draw the lots himself.
For a moment, the contestants were excited, and at the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief. The King would definitely draw the lots fairly. The King’s purpose for holding that competition was to select geniuses. Judging from the King’s generous behavior just now, it was impossible for the King to do such a thing.
“Antonio, Reid, you guys have been derelict in your duties. How could you cause such a big mess and let me draw lots? Fortunately, it did not affect the course of the competition. Otherwise, I would definitely hold you all accountable.”
Not long after Antonio’s words, King Landhar III left the room with the help of a few mages in the sky. He floated in the air with his flying spell.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. We are in the wrong.”
“Although you may not have cheated in the drawing of lots, you are Watson’s masters, after all, so you are still suspected of cheating! In that case, from now on, I will finish the draw.”
King Landhar III waved his hand and dismissed Antonio and Reid, starting a new round of draw. The draw ended quickly while everyone was anxiously waiting. King Landhar III looked around and asked lazily, “Let me see. Where is the person who drew number 401?”
“Your Majesty, I have it.”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Watson helplessly stretched out his right hand and showed the number 401 on it, attracting countless envious gazes.
“That is already the third time, right? To draw the same number three times in a row, what a small probability!” a contestant said while gnashing his teeth.
There would definitely be no problem with the number that the King had drawn personally. Since there was no problem with the King, then the problem was with Watson.
“Perhaps Watson used some method to get the last number,” another person said but was quickly interrupted by someone else. “That is in front of His Majesty, the astrologer, and the Sword Saint. What method could Watson use not to be discovered? If that’s the case, it also proves that Watson is strong enough that even the three important figures can’t see through him. Or, it proves that Watson is simply lucky.”
“Watson has drawn the last number four times. That is no longer luck. One might call him the chosen one.”
They had to admit that they had obediently consumed the sun fruit wine prepared by King Landhar III. After recovering their strength, they returned to the battlefield in the sky. They were ready to proceed with another elimination round.
Watson’s name as the chosen one was also spread to the audience seats, causing many to look at Watson with admiration. Strength was something that was easy to obtain as long as one trained, but luck was different. Many people did not envy powerful people, but they yearned for the luck that ordinary people did not have.
At the very front of the audience seats, in seats that belonged to the royal family, the three princes sat anxiously as they watched the draw with interest.
“Interesting. Even Father stood up for Watson. That teenager is really something else.” The Eldest Prince’s gaze was profound as he spoke first.
“After all, he is the disciple of both Reid and Antonio. It is very normal for Father to accord him with some respect! However, after four rounds of drawing the same number, that is no longer about respect. It can be considered as an official decision,” the thin and tall Second Prince said. He smiled. He was a prince, so he understood more than others that the so-called Heaven’s chosen one was all nonsense.
Even though he was born into a royal family, his luck was not much better than an ordinary commoner. If his status and wealth had risen, his luck would have improved. He would have long made a wish for his brother and younger brother to die suddenly. That way, he would be able to monopolize the throne. Unfortunately, such a wish could not be fulfilled.
“It seems that Father really likes that young man called Watson. I originally thought that the selection of geniuses was the main objective of the Royal Academy’s exhibition competition. Now, it seems that the most important thing is to choose a husband for Sister. Father seems to have a candidate in mind already.” The Third Prince, who had been silent the entire time, had a silly smile on his face.He could not help but cast his gaze toward Kiana, who was sitting in front of the three of them. A trace of kindness and gentleness appeared in his eyes.
As the youngest princess of the kingdom, Kiana would not participate in the competition for the future throne because she was a woman. The three princes had terrible relationships with each other, but they were all very fond of Kiana. Her marriage was important for them.
Kiana could not help but frown. She looked at Watson, who was yawning. Her voice was delicate as she said, “My future husband must be a peerless hero. At the very least, he must be a prince of a certain kingdom. Only then will he be worthy of me! As for that boy named Watson, other than being Antonio and Reid’s disciple, I can’t see any good in him at all. It was the same at the banquet held by Father last time. Everyone else consumed the sun gem given by Father, but he did not eat it. He really knows how to act. I don’t know how much effort Father put in to get that precious fruit, but that boy didn’t appreciate it. It was fine last time, but Father is obviously protecting him so that he can enter the finals, though he looks like he’s dozing off. It’s really infuriating to watch.”
Kiana was born into the royal family. Although she was not taught the principles of a king, she learned some things from her experience. In addition, her three brothers were all outstanding. Whether it was her own strength or her understanding of politics and military affairs, she was superior to ordinary people. That made Kiana have a very high standard about her future husband.
If her future husband were not a man who could write and hold the world in his hands, a man who could control the world with his martial arts, a man with outstanding talent, a well-read man, a man with a graceful bearing, a man who was handsome and unrestrained, and so on, she would definitely feel very bored if she married him. At the same time, she would not be able to stand proudly in front of her father and her brothers.
“Kiana, don’t worry. If you don’t like that person, even if Father wants to appoint him as your husband, I will try my best to plead with Father not to let you marry him.”
“Third Brother, it is not your place to say anything. I will do it.”
“Eldest Brother, Third Brother, you only know how to do these things. But how can you leave me out? I believe that if all of us reject this plan, Father will reconsider it, even if he already has an idea in his mind. ”
Kiana felt warm in her heart when she saw how her three brothers were fighting to stand up for her and were not afraid of being scolded by her father. Joy appeared on her delicate little face. She raised her head to look at the youth in the sky and wondered, ‘Although that youth looks pretty good, I am an outstanding woman who looks at one’s ability more than appearance. If I am strong enough, I can accept him even if his face is full of scars and the soles of his feet are covered in pus! As for that youth, even though the rumors say that he is very strong, the rumors are only rumors.’
If Watson were powerful, why would he cheat in the competition? That was proof that Watson’s ability was not good enough.
Kiana pondered and secretly made up her mind. No matter what, she would not let Watson win that match.
While they were discussing it fervently, the match in the sky was finally decided. The number of participants changed from 400 to 200. At that time, the participants looked even more tired. Even if there was alcohol that could restore their bodies, the mental tension caused by their successive battles could not be alleviated.
That formed a sharp contrast with Watson, who looked very relaxed and even a little sleepy.
“D*mn it, we are fighting fiercely up there, but that kid is so relaxed here. Later, if that kid doesn’t get another last number, we must let him know how powerful we are and let him know the pain in our hearts.”
Many of them held their anger in their hearts and were prepared to let Watson taste their power. With that thought in mind, they participated in the draw.
Soon, the result of the drawing of lots was announced. “The person who drew the number 201—Watson.”
“What the f*ck!”
“Why is it that guy again? Is he really the chosen one? ”
Even though the contestants were unhappy, they could only suppress their anger and return to the sky. The battle between 200 and 100 had begun, and after the match ended, a new round of drawing had begun. The result was the same. Everyone was already numb to that result. Watson had drawn number 101 and was exempted from the round. Everyone anticipated becoming that lucky contestant, but in the end, they had not drawn that number once. Watson had gotten the number multiple times.
The number 100 would turn to 50 and then to 25 in the subsequent two battles, and Watson would not need the last number again. Instead, he would participate in the competition as the 26th participant. However, compared to Watson, who had been empty all along, by that time, the contestants were mentally exhausted and at a natural disadvantage against the well-rested Watson.
Next was the round to trim 100 contestants to only 50 people.
“Who do you guys think will be the one to get the last number this time?”
“It must be Watson. There’s basically no need to think about it. That guy’s luck is really not to be underestimated! With that level of luck, will his opponent be eliminated due to some unexpected situation so he doesn’t have to fight later?”
“If it’s possible, I really don’t want to fight against such a lucky opponent. His Majesty has said it well, when one’s luck is at its peak, it is also a kind of strength.”
It seemed to have fulfilled the claims of many contestants. The remaining 50 contestants had no choice but to start the next round. The remaining contestants no longer had the same contempt they had for Watson in the beginning.
If they envied Watson’s good luck and were hostile toward the young man, they had no choice but to be wary of him. How did he get such good luck? Perhaps there was some unique technique, or it was a kind of magic in itself?
Furthermore, was Watson just lucky? Could he change other people’s luck? For example, he could make people unlucky. Facing such an enemy, they might suddenly have a heart attack because of their bad luck, or they might suddenly trip on their left leg and fall on their right leg. Those were all possible. In fact, they were frightened of those possibilities.
At that moment, Augustus was fighting a young girl who was holding a platinum-tier weapon. She was so tired that she was panting.
That young girl did not seem to be there to fight with him. Instead, she seemed to be there to show off her weapon. As she fought, that young girl pointed at the sword in her hand and said, “This platinum-tier weapon is called the Great Sunfire Sword. Its effect is to summon the sun wheel to attack the enemy. Furthermore, when the sun is bright enough, the power of this sword will become even stronger! This platinum-tier weapon is not part of the ten platinum-tier weapons in the kingdom. Instead, it was made by a blacksmith in the capital. It is said that the method to make a platinum-tier weapon was provided by His Majesty. With His Majesty’s approval, the quality of this platinum-tier weapon is absolutely guaranteed. The most important thing is that such a sword is only sold for 10,000 gold coins.
“Well, those 10,000 gold coins won’t hurt your pocket. There is no catch at all! I am a young girl from a baron’s family, and my strength was only at the peak of silver-tier. However, because of His Majesty’s sun fruit wine, my strength rose to gold-tier, and I was lucky enough to buy this platinum-tier weapon and use it to be one of the last 50 contestants. What an honor it is!”
It was as if there was a loudspeaker installed in the girl’s mouth. Not only did the audience below hear what she said clearly, but even the participants who were fighting in the other arenas could not help but look in her direction. When they saw the weapon in the girl’s hand, they looked envious.
There were four or five people like the girl, all of them holding platinum-tier weapons, boasting about the weapons together. “We’re the same. If a person survived until the end of the competition because of a platinum-tier weapon, that’s an exception! However, all of us have survived until now, which proves the power of these weapons. That forging shop is now launching an event. Only 10,000 gold coins for a platinum-tier weapon. The first ten purchases will even get His Majesty’s signature.”
“There are so many platinum-tier weapons in the royal city. It has been decades since a platinum-tier weapon appeared in the kingdom. Does that mean that the kingdom is entering a new era of development?”
The audience were bewitched by the words from the sky, and their eyes lit up.
“Regardless of whether it is true or not, let’s not talk about the quality of those platinum-tier weapons. There is a chance to get His Majesty’s signature. Later, I will buy eight of them. I can keep those signed weapons for decades, and after the dynasty changes, they will become antiques of a previous dynasty. It will be a huge profit, and it can even become a family heirloom that has been passed down for generations.”
Another onlooker, dressed in noble attire, could not help but say the same thing.
There were quite a few people like that in the audience. Watson stood in mid-air, hearing many similar words, and he could not help but sigh. ‘Let the contestants use platinum-tier weapons as a promotion by displaying them in front of people. That was originally Marcus’ plan, but it has improved and made more feasible with His Majesty’s participation! After all, in the previous plan, if those people with the platinum-tier weapons encountered a truly powerful genius, they would very likely be killed instantly. If they did not even have the time to use their weapons, then they would not be able to display the weapon’s true effects.”
After King Landhar III joined, that situation improved. After all, King Landhar III could control the order of the draw. He could separate those people who held weapons and, at the same time, prevent them from encountering a mighty opponent. It could display the performance of the weapons to the best effect. Other people might think that King Landhar III was there to recruit more talents.
However, Watson knew that King Landhar III’s recruitment of talents was just a side effect. His real purpose was to make money from the sun gems and platinum-tier weapons.
After the competition ended, those weapons and sun fruit wine accumulated by the Severed Fingers Gang would sell like hotcakes.
While Watson was lamenting, the battle in the sky had also reached its end. Those people who held weapons did not have much strength because they wanted to demonstrate the performance of platinum-tier weapons. After entering the top 50, they had no choice but to be eliminated when they faced a situation where the probability of encountering a truly strong person increased.
“You’re talking so much nonsense. It’s really annoying. Are you here to fight or to sell weapons? Admit your defeat!”
Augustus raised his hand and released pale blue high-temperature flames, causing the young girl who was selling the Great Sunfire Sword to be covered in flames. Her entire body was charred black as she fell.
The Great Sunfire Sword was a platinum-tier fire-elemental weapon. It could create up to three platinum-tier sun wheels, protecting the girl. Unfortunately, her opponent was Augustus. After the modification, Augustus’ strength far surpassed a platinum-tier elite. Even if she had a platinum-tier weapon, she would not be a match for him. Casey was a good example for that.
After defeating the young girl, Augustus turned his head to look in Watson’s direction. His patience was almost worn out. God knows how many battles he had fought, from 800 to 50 people, and each time he could not help but want to kill his opponent. Then, the number of people had finally become 25. It’s a situation where the contestants had entered the odd number, Watson would have to join the competition.
He would have a chance to meet Watson in the next battle. At the thought of that, Augustus could not help but clench his fists and breathe heavily.
“Contestants, thank you for the great battles that you have presented to me and the people of the kingdom. At this moment, the competition has finally entered the most wonderful part. Currently, including Watson, there are still 26 people left on the field. These 26 people will compete to be one of the 13 winners to enter the next round. At the same time, three of the losers will get the chance to be revived. They will enter the finals together with the 13 winners, with a total of 16 contestants. As for which of the three losers will be to be revived will depend on the audience. From now on, the audience will have the right to vote. The three losers with the highest number of votes will be eligible to be revived. However, please remember that you only have the right to vote once.
“Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Let’s start the final phase of the second round! The fights will no longer take place at the same time. Instead, it would be fought one after another. I guarantee that everyone will enjoy watching it even more.”
The atmosphere in the stadiumpeaked. It was already evening. Many contestants had already experienced countless fights since they started in the morning. The audience below the stage was not bored at all. On the contrary, they were excited because they knew that the ensuing battles would be more exciting. After all, the remaining contestants were all geniuses among geniuses, and no one would be left empty-handed.
As they drew lots, the sequence of the fight was quickly decided.
Lily, number 1, would go up against Charlotte, number 2.
Lana, number 3, would go up against Douglas, number 4.
Ash, number 5, would go up against Amon, number 6.
Christina, number 7, would go up against Nia, number 8.
….
Also, Augustus, number 25, would go up against Watson, number 26.
“I’m number 25, and Watson is number 26! Finally, we can fight!”
After the drawing of lots, Augustus could not help but be excited. He turned his gaze toward Watson, and the other teenager happened to turn his head in mid-air, his gaze colliding with Augustus’. Of course, if they were to lose, they would still have an opportunity to revive their standing. However, with the revival, they would only be competing for the kingdom’s 16 genius rankings. There was no hope of winning.
For Augustus, the upcoming battle would determine both victory and death. Only one of him and Watson would survive.
As the battle between the two of them was the last match, the two of them returned to the audience seats with excitement and waited.
“I did not expect Watson’s first opponent would be Augustus. Watson had defeated Augustus once, causing Augustus to sit in a wheelchair for almost a week. Would it not be a definite victory against Augustus? Is that Watson’s luck?”
When Augustus left the arena, he heard many discussions from the audience. Many people knew that Augustus had been defeated by Watson in the Holy Dragon Tavern and hung on the plaque. Therefore, everyone felt like Watson could win the fight easily.
Of course, some people refuted it.
“Looking at Augustus’ performance in the previous competition, it’s obvious that his strength is much stronger than before. He could even defeat a person with a platinum-tier weapon. I wonder what kind of potion he took to increase his strength before the competition, or did he undergo some inhumane training? In short, Augustus’ strength is still something I am looking forward to seeing.”
Those rebuttal voices were tiny among the voices that questioned Augustus, making Augustus feel very uncomfortable.
‘You guys just keep thinking like that. When the time comes, I will let you all understand what a real battle is and see the gap between Watson and me! When the time comes, when you see my true strength, I believe that all of you will stand up and cheer for me.’
Augustus sat down with his eyes closed. He reached out and touched his thick clothes. He had experienced many battles since the start of the competition. Logically speaking, he should be sweating profusely in such thick garments. In reality, he did not sweat at all. Even his breathing did not change. Only the increasingly intense heartbeat in his chest and the confident expression on his face showed his confidence in the upcoming battle.
Following the draw, Lily and Charlotte soon arrived in the sky. The two stood face to face and smiled bitterly.
“Charlotte, I didn’t expect the last round of battle would be between you and me. I thought that we had a chance to enter the third round together.”
“Lily, we are no match for the real geniuses. We are lucky to be able to enter the second round! And I have always wanted to compete to see who is stronger. Only the winner can enter the next round, and the loser can’t cry.”
“Of course, Charlotte. Are you underestimating me? It’s a promise. If one of us loses, we’ll treat the other to a meal at the Holy Dragon Tavern. The dishes we order must include platinum-tier magical beast meat and sun fruit wine. How about that?”
“It’s a deal.”
After a short conversation, Charlotte and Lily quickly took out their staff and started the battle. Both of them were mages. Lily was a gold-tier light and dark-elemental mage with a fire element. On the other hand, Charlotte was a light and dark-elemental mage with an ice element. Their light and dark elements were awakened after they ate the sun and moon fruits at the Holy Dragon Tavern.
Both of them were mages with three attributes. Their battle was like looking in a mirror. All kinds of light and dark spells clashed in the sky and dissipated. However, it was the fire and ice spells that determined the outcome. On Lily’s side, flames surged into the sky and condensed into a giant python in the shape of a flame. On Charlotte’s side, icebergs stood tall, and a lion made of ice roared.
Ice and fire, lions, and giant pythons.
The girl who controlled the two expanded together in the air and created an explosion. The entire arena used for the competition was on the verge of collapse. Amidst the fog created by the combination of ice and fire, Lily laid on the ground, she had lost consciousness. Meanwhile, Charlotte raised her staff with difficulty and fell to the ground.
“I won the match.”
Charlotte revealed a relieved expression and fainted with burns all over her body.
Charlotte had won the first match. That match between two girls made the audience sigh in admiration. “As expected of a genius from an archduke’s family. She had mastered three types of magical elements. It’s really exciting.” They were also looking forward to the following matches.
The next few matches were far less exciting than the first match. In the second match, Lana fought Douglas. The third battle was similar. Although Amon had platinum-tier strength, the strength that Ash displayed was above platinum-tier. In addition, every move Amon made was pierced by Ash. After a few rounds, Ash found Amon’s weakness and defeated him.
The battle between Christina and Nia was very much anticipated. However, in reality, the two women only used one move to determine the winner. Christina cast the Kingdom of the Sword that she had used during the elimination round. The majestic Kingdom of the Sword seemed to want to cut off Nia’s entire body. Everyone thought that Christina would win with that.
However, no one expected that Nia only needed to use her right hand to catch the Kingdom of the Sword easily. When the Kingdom of the Sword touched her right hand, a layer of ice rapidly condensed on it. The Kingdom of the Sword and Christina were frozen into ice cubes.
The battle ended in that dramatic scene. Seeing that scene, Watson could not help but frown. “Nia managed to withstand that starlight-tier attack! Even though it’s not an actual starlight-tier attack due to Tina’s limitation, it is still not something that an ordinary diamond-tier elite could dodge! Is she also a starlight-tier elite? But her aura showed that she was only at peak gold-tier. What’s going on?”
With doubts in his heart, Watson suddenly remembered that Charlotte had told him to be careful of Nia. If he really could not defeat her, he should admit defeat. He did not take it seriously before, but he had to change his mind about that.
As the match continued, Watson stopped thinking about Nia and started warming up. Finally, the match came to an end after a few exciting matches.
“The penultimate match has ended. The winner is Cosette, a wandering warrior from outside the Holy Dragon Kingdom! Next is the last round.Contestant number 25, Augustus, will fight against contestant number 26, Watson. That match is also the finale of this round. Who will win it? Let’s wait and see.”
Under the cadence of King Landhar III’s voice, Watson and Augustus rose into the air and flew toward the divine kingdom in the sky.
“Watson, you must hold back later. Don’t kill Augustus! Although Augustus has beaten me to such a state, I don’t want you to avenge me.” Before Watson rose into the air, Casey, who had left the competition early and came to the audience seats, held the Platinum-tier Water Dragon Sky Sword to relieve the pain. His voice came from the gaps of the bandages that covered his face.
“Don’t worry, Casey. Augustus and I will fight because of our own will. It has nothing to do with you. I have no intention of avenging you in the first place.”
Casey continued awkwardly. “Alright, Watson. Since you put it that way, I don’t need to say anything else. Just like Augustus is my friend and you are my friend, I have already persuaded Augustus to show mercy to you! Oh, right, no matter which one of you wins, can you push my name into the final round? I also want to enter the final round as one of the 16 people. You and Augustus are so powerful, so with a little push from either of you, my chances of entering the final round will be greatly increased.”
Casey’s shameless words made the corner of Watson’s mouth twitch. Lana, who was also eliminated, sat beside Casey. After hearing that, she could not help but sigh. “Brother Casey, don’t think about that anymore. With your strength, even if you enter the final round, you will still be inferior to others! And to be honest, your words are completely powerless. If you try to persuade Augustus to stop, it might have the opposite effect.”
“How is that possible, Lana? Augustus listens to me. Even when I told him not to fight with Watson, he did not even think of killing me, though he was angry. He only injured me and eliminated me. Isn’t that a sign of friendship between us? ”
“Brother Casey, I don’t think we should be sitting here right now! This competition is no longer important to you. You should go see a doctor.”
“Lana, how can you talk to your brother like that? Just wait and see. I believe that under my influence, Augustus and Watson will definitely develop a friendship.”
“Is there a doctor here? Someone is sick. Quickly, come and treat him.”
….
Ignoring Casey and Lana, who were acting like clowns, Watson took a step forward and entered the divine kingdom battlefield in the sky. That was the first time he had stepped into that place, and it was also the first time he had made a serious move in that exhibition competition. As soon as he entered, he felt the pressure. That pressure did not come from the divine kingdom but the enemy opposite him—Augustus.
“Watson, I’ve finally waited for you. It’s been too hard for me to wait for you to fight! Fortunately, I waited until the end of the second round. Finally, you and I are on both sides of the battlefield. Isn’t this the grandest and most satisfying stage ever?”
Augustus opened his hands in front of Watson. The thick clothes on his body fluttered in the gradually cold wind, coupled with Augustus’ fiery red hair and fanatical expression. However, he seemed to not care about all of that. His gaze was locked tightly on Watson as if there was no audience in that world, no king, or even a battlefield. There was only him and Watson.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite a long time. Come, Augustus. I hope that the battle between us can end as soon as possible. That way, I can still make it for dinner when I get back. ”
Watson pulled out the holy relic, the Holy Sword of Time, from his back calmly.
“Then Watson, I’ll do as you wish.”
Augustus extended his right hand toward Watson. “Diamond-tier fighting technique, Divine Fire That Burns Everything!”
The sky changed color as pale blue fireballs appeared in the sky. They burned through the clouds, leaving a long flaming tail in the sky as they headed straight for Watson. The entire sky was instantly covered by pale blue fireballs, illuminating the land in blue color.
That scene made many of the audience stand up. Even though a layer of the divine kingdom separated them, they could still feel the temperature rising, and they were nervous that those fireballs would fall through the divine kingdom.
That had never happened before in the previous battles, and Augustus had not used such a powerful move. That made everyone guess whether Augustus had an even more powerful move.
“Newman, was Augustus that powerful before this?”
In the Campbell family’s stand, McGee glanced at the sky. His hand was stroking the chair uneasily as he asked Newman, who was sitting beside him.
Newman, who was also looking at the sky, had a complicated expression mixed with grief. He hesitated for a long while before he said, “The Augustus of the past might not have been this powerful, but the situation is different now! Augustus has undergone a complete transformation in the past few days. Even Father, who has been dealing with magical tools and puppets for decades, could not stop praising his transformation. Augustus is now standing at the peak of the kingdom’s geniuses. Even the Sword Saint and Master Antonio can’t defeat him, let alone someone from the younger generation.”
“Second Brother, is that true? Augustus has undergone such a huge change in such a short period. What did Father do to him?” His third sister, Freya, could not help but ask.
“That is a secret. However, as long as you continue watching, you will probably find out soon.”
In the entire family, other than Armand, he was the only one who knew that Augustus had been locked up in the laboratory for two days.
At that moment, looking at Augustus in the sky, Newman could not help but feel a little heartache. “You’ve ruined your entire future to defeat Watson. Augustus, is it really worth it? If it was a few days ago, I might not have thought so. But after seeing you working so hard today, I finally understand your persistence.
“Augustus, if that is your wish, then go bravely! No matter what you do, crippling Watson or killing him, I will support you. Be like the name bestowed on you, the dark consul in the past that swept seven kingdoms. Be like him and crush the obstacles in front of you. Let everyone see the strength of our will!”
