Chapter 860: The High King

The pillar of light that shot up into the sky caused the earth to shake. Although it was under control and did not produce a horrible shock wave, the sharp airflow still swept across the entire city.

The entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Zaro had turned into a deep pit, with lava flowing on the surface of the pit and emitting green smoke.

Grimmjow and Harribel stood firmly in the sky here, and under the dark red light of the lava, they looked like demons crawling out of the abyss.

This kind of drastic measure of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys crushed the morale that had already been completely destroyed.

The rest of the Thirteen Giants all came out to express their submission.

"Welcome to our great protector of the whole territory... Your people have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

With such direct pressure, it is easy to recruit in this low-magic world, and no one dares to have any other ideas.

After Tao Yu personally got off the aerospace mothership, he came to a place in the city where the power of will was relatively strong.

The Palace of Immortality.

From the outside, the Temple of the Immortals was a grey ancient ruin, without towers or windows, coiled like a great stone snake amidst a forest of black-barked trees.

The leaves of these trees are blue and are also the material used to make Nightshade Water.

Tao Yu inhaled a piece casually and sensed it slightly.

A standard wish-making crop, and this leaf also has a certain effect in promoting mental concentration.

However, unlike spices that can prolong your life if taken for a long time, taking too much of this thing can actually lead to death.

"The reserve of willpower is still good. It can be promoted as a plant for harvest."

Tao Yu quickly made a judgment in his mind.

Then he looked towards the Immortal Palace

"Can the living dead claim to be immortal?"

After sneering, Tao Yu casually raised his hand, and the ancient building complex that looked like ruins in front of him collapsed in an instant!
Tao Yu took the rotten beating heart inside into his hand.

He sensed it briefly and absorbed it completely, smacking his lips.

"It's a skill that I used a little bit, but since I can always revive by dripping blood, it's still a bit useless."

After being deified twice, he was integrated into the life equation, and then Tao Yu raised his hands slightly.

The earth is constantly shaking.

Boom boom boom
The ground of the original Immortal Palace in front continued to rise, and the earth rose to form a statue-like image.

As it continued to roll, some black coal began to appear from the ground, dyeing the statue black.

But under the terrifying pressure of Tao Yu's slightly clasped hands, the sculpture in front of him quickly became transparent the next moment.

Finally, a diamond statue with a blurred face but pointing at Tao Yu was formed!

"From now on, this is the existence you need to believe in, the protector of the entire territory..."

This truly miraculous miracle made the people in the city, who saw the diamond sculpture rising from the ground, bow their heads and pray excitedly.

They can all offer their faith to the illusory gods.

The miracles that are now before our eyes, as well as the various shocks that have occurred today, are enough to completely transform everyone who sees them!

Although Illyrio was previously known as the messenger of the gods, many people no longer cared about that and directly crowned him the title of God-King.

Tao Yu could also feel the fanatical faith in those prayers, but because of the special nature of his own divinity, these messages had no effect on him at all. They were all swallowed up and integrated into his own will.

Relying on his observation of the lower-level concepts of this world, Tao Yuyi found a suitable way of integration.

"It feels pretty good..."

Although there was almost no reaction, but once the number of people increased, it even had the potential to become the sixth or even seventh will!

At first, Lei Jingtian was quite powerful and was a saint who dared to ambush the Styx in the dark. However, after the five levels of holy will were superimposed, he was unable to make a single move.

However, this is just a potential. At present, the number of people required is extremely large, and if it crosses the world, the number will probably be reduced.

“I wonder if I can handle this matter and allow faith to cross boundaries freely after becoming a god in that strange world, relying on the secondary deification path I have already completed. Perhaps, after absorbing more paths, I can once again undergo a new round of deification…”

What was a bit regrettable now was that two of his three paths already had ready-made gods, which meant that he didn't even have a sequence one.

Even as strong as I am, I still have to digest the new path, so the fastest way is still Sequence 1 of the Hunter Path.

Putting aside this thought for the time being, Tao Yu left behind an Asgardian soldier.

"From now on, you will be the bishop here, ruling over Qarth and the nearby free trade cities."

"Yes."

Tao Yu is not short of fighting power, and most of the carefully selected Asgard warriors are smart and capable.

Relying on his physique that far exceeds that of ordinary people and the Asgard equipment on his body, he can give two big punches to the White Walkers when they come.

Combined with the miracles he displayed, it was more than enough to rule this place.

The long lifespan of the Asgardians, even if they come here, will be worn out by the abyss, which is enough to sustain them for quite a while...

Tao Yu then jumped back into the aerospace mothership and began to complete his missionary journey to the remaining city-states on the Essos continent...

……

Dragonstone, the place where the Targaryen family rose to power when they arrived in Westeros.

The direct descendant of the Targaryen family is usually conferred on the heir to the throne as the 'Prince of Dragonstone'.

However, after Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark overthrew the rule of the "Mad King" and ended the Targaryen dynasty, this place was also captured.

He conferred the title on King Robert Baratheon's eldest brother, Stansley, and gave him the position of Lord High Seas, a member of the Royal Council...

Because Dragonstone's castle was built using a lost Valyrian technology like Valyrian steel, the entire fortress can be considered unique.

Having received such an honor, Stansley should have been very proud.

But in fact, King Robert didn't like his elder brother, so he threw his fiefdom to this place which had greater symbolic significance but was not very rich.

Stansley, the Minister of the Navy who was originally a member of the current Royal Council of the Kingdom and should have stayed in King's Landing, appeared in his own fiefdom in a somewhat irritable manner, with a gloomy and sad look on his face.

Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King and the respected old Prime Minister, is dead.

Stansley also knew that he was poisoned!
After learning the news, Stanlys, who had been investigating the king's illegitimate child with Jon Arryn, immediately realized that the matter had been exposed. Feeling that his own safety was also threatened, he decisively fled back to his fiefdom.

"How dare they! This pair of bastards!"

Thinking of Jon's death, Stansley was also a little sad.

Jon is the adoptive father of Robert and Eddard, and has a very high prestige in the entire kingdom. After becoming the Hand of the King, he has been working diligently to mend the post-war kingdom.

But I didn't expect that just because I invited him to conduct the investigation, I would end up like this.

To some extent, I could be considered the cause of his death...

-

Stansley returns to Dragonstone and gathers his staff.

Among his staff, there was a woman in a red robe who looked mysterious and beautiful and attracted a lot of attention.

From the attitudes of the other people around her, it can be seen that she was very excluded, but she was still invited by Stansley.

And this time he focused on asking the red witch Melisandre
"You said you foresaw a great change in the world, a storm that would sweep the entire world? Tell me more about it."

This witch claimed to have the ability to see the future from the flames, although Stansley didn't really believe it at first.

But after experiencing Jon being poisoned, he couldn't help but make associations.

"I'm not sure. I only know that this is a change in the whole world. I don't know whether it is good or bad. The future is beginning to become chaotic and vague. It seems that all changes will depend on the decision of a great man..."

Melisandre looked a little tired at this moment, and the faint dark circles under her eyes showed that she had not had enough rest recently.

In the past, Melisandre always appeared calm and confident, and would explain her prophecies with great confidence, as if she had already mastered everything, and would always act mysterious.

This should be the appropriate image of a witch.

However, since she suddenly had premonitions and dreams not long ago, she began to become anxious, fearful, and uneasy...

She felt like there seemed to be something wrong with the King of Light she believed in!

The gods, which had been becoming increasingly clear, seemed to be under some powerful suppression and became blurred.

However, her anxiety and fear made Stansy look up to her a little more, and he felt the "truth" in it, and at the same time connected it with his investigation into Robert's illegitimate child and Jon's death.

"It seems that you do have some abilities, and something big is indeed about to happen, and it will indeed depend on the decision of a great man..."

Stanlys thought of his brother, Robert, the current master of the Iron Throne. The fact that none of his three legitimate children were his was indeed a huge uproar that could sweep the world!

Through the investigation by Stanislas and the deceased Jon, it was found that the descendants of the intermarriage of their Baratheon family all had black hair without exception, and many of Robert's illegitimate children were also found to confirm this!

But now Robert's three children all have the queen's golden hair, which seems very strange.

In their subsequent investigation, they realized that this was the illegitimate child born to Queen Cersei and her twin brother Jaime.

It's incredible and funny, but this is the truth he investigated!

"Since the king's three legitimate sons are not his blood relatives, I should be the first in line to inherit the throne. However, the Lannister family controls the financial power of the kingdom, and they have many fiefdoms, soldiers and generals. They will certainly not give up. Chaos is indeed coming. Your prediction is correct..."

Stansley stood up, with an air of magnanimity that showed no one else could do it better than him.

He personally participated in the investigation and found out the truth, and now he will become the hero in defeating the Lannister family!
Save the kingdom from fire and water!
When the Mad King was overthrown, the most important division of interests occurred among three families.

The Stark family represented by Eddard Stark can also be called the Wolf House because their family emblem is a wolf. Then there is the Baratheon family represented by Robert Baratheon, which is the Deer House.

Finally, there is the queen's twin brother, Jaime Lannister, who gave Robert a hat. He assassinated the Mad King from behind when he was serving in the Kingsguard. His assassination, coupled with his subsequent declaration of allegiance to Robert, also brought corresponding benefits to the Lannister family.

Queen Cersei is from the Lannister family, and the fact that Jaime continues to serve as the Kingsguard protecting the royal family is a reflection of this.

At the same time, as the Lord High Admiral in the King's Small Council, Stansley also knew that the Lannister family was still the largest financial backer of the kingdom.

Because Robert knew nothing about state affairs and loved luxury, he spent money recklessly and owed the Lannister family a huge sum of three million.

Facing the Lannister family, even King Robert had to give in on many things.

Given such a complicated relationship, it is impossible to resolve the matter peacefully.

"According to your prediction, now is the time for me to turn the tide!"

Stansley has made a decision. The witch once said that he is the reincarnation of the savior who defeated the White Walkers!
The witch's prophecy at this time has the same meaning as the discovery of a huge white snake in the room, the fishing out of a one-eyed stone man from the river, and the fox saying "King Stansley" in the woods.

This gave him a reassurance. But just as he was about to announce it to his staff and summon all his vassals, the red-robed witch suddenly reached out and grabbed his head, her fingers digging into her hair, and began to scream.
"No! He's coming! He's already here! The Supreme King!"

Seeing the witch so cooperative and with such a sincere expression, Stanris was very happy.

"Wait until all the vassals have arrived, then express your feelings in this way..."

But at this moment, Stansley felt that the sky was getting dark, and bursts of exclamations were heard in the castle.

'Ship?' 'Miracle!' 'A miracle has appeared!'

All kinds of sounds came and went.

This surprised Stansley, and at the same time made him a little excited.

Did the miracle really happen because of my decision?
I am indeed the savior!

When he looked out the window, he also saw the magnificent aerospace mothership.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Stanlis still looked a little dazed at this moment.

"Is this the miracle I caused? Is this the messenger sent by the King of Light? The legendary divine ship that resisted the great flood?"

Just when Stanlis was in a daze, Illyrio, the local lackey who had surrendered, picked up the microphone again and made an announcement.

Until the voice that echoed throughout the city finished.

Stanlis became a little dazed.

It turns out that the Supreme King in the prophecy is not me? It turns out that the miracles are not for me...

……

Although Stanris was greatly shocked by this contrast.

But in the face of reality, he had to bow his head and respectfully welcome Tao Yu's arrival.

After Tao Yu performed a miracle and the diamond statue appeared, he completely agreed with what the red witch had said before.

This is the person who can change the world with just a thought!
The real master!
Any army or dragon would seem so ridiculous in front of him.

He also saw three giant dragons beside Daenerys, which were already the size of calves and growing rapidly.

With the orthodox dragons submitting to him and so many miracles, this is the protector of the entire realm, the Supreme King!
In fact, Stansley is not afraid of death. For the sake of his family and honor, death is not his first priority.

But facing the situation at hand, he found that the so-called family and honor seemed to be nothing...

No, it’s not nothing, but becoming the opponent’s subordinate will become a real honor!

-

"...Here's the thing. Our investigation into Robert's bastard has confirmed that Cersei betrayed him."

Stanris respectfully told Tao Yu everything, which was considered a family disgrace.

And now he no longer calls Robert the King and Cersei the Queen.

At least until the person in front of him expresses his opinion, calling him like that would actually harm Robert!
"Your circle is really chaotic."

Even though he knew the whole story, Tao Yu still shook his head after hearing the investigators' statement.

The old man who wrote A Song of Ice and Fire referred to a lot of real history, and the characters he wrote are flesh and blood. Even the villains have various reasons, excuses, and ambitions.

But it was indeed a mess, which fully reflected the feudal characteristics of the West.

Moreover, even though it was something that had been thoroughly investigated and even had conclusive evidence, the subsequent changes and outcomes still made people's blood pressure rise.

Even now when Tao Yu thinks about it, he still feels unhappy.

It seemed that as Tao Yu's mood got worse, the sky around him began to darken. Although it had been sunny and windy at the beginning, it now felt like the eve of a storm.

"Oh, sorry to scare you guys, I just feel a little off."

The fact that one's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness could easily affect the surrounding celestial phenomena and the stars could change in a single thought really made Stansley and everyone on Dragonstone feel a sense of worship.

This is the real god!
"Tsk~, it's no good if you don't have clear thoughts. I'm going to go meet those two enemies. Now I'm leaving. You follow me."

Tao Yu casually pointed at Stanris.

After all, he is the lord of Dragonstone. If he stays here, it will affect the coordination of Asgard soldiers.

Once everything is settled, just arrange them as you like.

"Yes."

Stansley had already decided in his mind that he would carve out a different path for his family, and he behaved very obediently.

And as a lord, he simultaneously issued an order to obey the Asgard representative. After taking another look at the diamond statue, he followed Tao Yu onto the aerospace mothership and headed for King's Landing...

……

King's Landing, as the core of Westeros and the seat of the Iron Throne, is magnificent enough in itself.

The golden robe guards are guarding the safety of the city.

However, this magnificent capital surrendered without any resistance when faced with the arrival of the aerospace mothership that could destroy the city walls with a "light collision" and after seeing the three giant dragons soaring from the mothership.

The remaining few people in the imperial conference.

Grand Maester Pycelle, who had served the Mad King, Varys, the chief of intelligence who served as a eunuch, Petyr Baelish, the Minister of Finance known as Little Finger, and Renly Baratheon, the king's second brother and the Minister of Justice, all chose to surrender.

Not a single bump.

"The false king, Robert, took his wife and the Kingsguard to the north, hoping to invite Eddard Stark to serve as the new Hand of the King."

Grand Secretary Paiselle explained the current situation to Tao Yu with a respectful face.

As a university scholar who had served during the Mad King's time, he not only possessed profound knowledge but also had a certain degree of "power to interpret the law", and he could be said to be quite flexible.

So flexible that it's a bit offensive.

Tao Yu glanced at the people in the imperial meeting and shook his head.

Everyone here has his or her own little plans, and everyone has ulterior motives.

This thing is similar to the Privy Council of the Cabinet, and with a king who doesn't care about government affairs and spends money like water, the fact that it has lasted until now also shows the ability of the previous Hand of the King, Jon.

"False king?"

Tao Yu glanced at Pycelle with a half-smile.

"Yes, he is a false king. Robert did not gain the throne legitimately. I was forced to do so. The throne should be inherited by the blood of the Targaryen family and by the guardian of the dragon."

Pycelle said righteously, looking up at the giant dragon soaring around the helicarrier in the sky.

"I am not of Targaryen blood."

Tao Yu's words made Pycelle stunned.

No?

It's not how you control the dragon!

But as a flexible university scholar, he immediately changed his tone.

"The Targaryen dynasty is a thing of the past after all. They unified the seven kingdoms with the help of dragons. Now, you are the king with such power. You are the legitimate one!"

"You say one thing after another."

Tao Yu also shook his head.

Grimmjow, who was standing next to him, had a keen eye. Seeing Tao Yu's emotional attitude, he immediately raised his sword and struck him.

The sharp claws in his hand instantly tore Pycelle into pieces of flesh, and blood splattered on the faces of several other members of the Imperial Council nearby.

"To vote so quickly is to be full of betrayal in one's bones."

Grimmjow, who was acting as the villain, also spat in disgust.

The other people, whose bodies were covered in blood, all felt their scalps tingling.

Crazy!
And what did he do just now? He just used his claws to scratch someone to pieces?
Is this a White Walker?
However, given the current situation, even if this is really the legendary White Walker and the White Walker King, they will become the orthodoxy of the kingdom!
"Well done! Pycelle is disloyal and unfilial. He deserves to die!"

Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger, applauded.

He is not a traitor, so he has the confidence to speak like this.

But just when he was about to use this as a basis and then speak up to show his value, Tao Yu looked at him with disdain and said nothing.

But Grimmjow also understood the look in his boss's eyes.

puff~
Another grab, and Petyr Baelish followed suit, and his blood splattered on the remaining intelligence chief Varys and Robert's second brother Renly.

This made the two of them feel a little desperate.

Are you kidding me? You want to kill this and that. You just want to kill people, right?

Finished!

"Humph, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

Renly snorted.

He himself is not so tough. As a homosexual, he also has many shortcomings.

But since we are all going to die, there is no difference between dying quickly and waiting slowly.

Begging for mercy is useless!
Renly stood proudly, with blood on his body, and he looked quite elegant. It was no wonder that he had more support than his brother Stanislas according to his original trajectory.

"Well, I thought that was enough, but you asked to die, which shows that you are a real man."

Tao Yu nodded in approval, which made the originally tough Renly stunned. Is this true?
Did you make a mistake!
puff~
Grimmjow raised his sword and slashed, and the only one left at the scene was the intelligence chief Varys, covered in blood.

Thump~
Varys knelt on the ground and said with a little trembling

"I, I really support Targaryen orthodoxy. I even had contact with Illyrio. Save me, save me!"

Varys looked at Illyrio, making the latter feel speechless, but in the end he had to bite the bullet and admit what the other party said.

"Why are you so scared? I'm not someone who kills innocent people. Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"

Tao Yu asked back, causing Varys, who was covered in blood, to shake his head repeatedly.

Grimmjow, who was watching from the side, finally put away his claws and stopped tearing the man to pieces...
