Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 943 The Turning Point (Part 1)

As the palm strike drew near, Ai Min closed her eyes and awaited her death.

Regret and despair had already overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. The king's tragic death, the country's decline, and the frustration of being powerless to reverse the situation intertwined into a dark abyss, making this wise chief of staff only want to end it all and seek relief.

At the critical moment, the ground beneath Ai Min's feet suddenly collapsed without warning, precisely creating a gap just wide enough for one person to slide through right where he was standing.

"Fool! Do you think death will solve the problem? How can you do this to live up to Dempra's high expectations?! Coward!" With a low growl filled with suppressed anger, Emin, who had lost her balance, was caught by a pair of chubby but unusually strong hands, and Mr. Maisan, with snot and tears all over his face, appeared.

When Dempras was fighting Lord, Fatty had already arrived at the scene with the help of the Earth Infusion Technique of the Silver Tree. However, his priority at that time was to secretly help Daiyun detoxify and heal his injuries.

Gris launched a surprise attack on Dumbledore. The fat man intended to come to the rescue, but was unexpectedly blocked by the Silver Tree and Fuyao at the same time. In the blink of an eye, King Sulier had already died on the spot.

The Silver Sacred Tree is an ancient demon spirit who has always disdained human emotions. All she cares about is Mai Sang's safety, because whether he can fully transform into a human and embark on the path to godhood depends entirely on this kid!

As for Fu Yao, although his character is questionable, few can match his cunning and scheming. He ruined the Wasp's plans at the Kunxu of Ximen Mountain, realizing he had to fully support Maisang for any chance of survival. And if Dunpra hadn't died, the fat man would still only be a regent. Judging from the Mackenzie's eagerness to capture Sulier at the peace conference, this place could very well be the key to the success or failure of the future civil war on the Yatai continent.

Therefore, Fu Yao had long ago reached a tacit agreement with the Silver Saint Tree, not only to protect Mai Sang, but also to put him on the throne of Sulier.

But Maisan, being a man of deep emotions, had fought alongside Dunpra ever since Suliel rose to power, and due to his Capricorn eyes, he harbored complex feelings towards Queen Suliel. Thus, upon witnessing the other's death, the fat man instantly entered a berserk state, instinctively feeling a surge of rage within his chest, with nowhere to vent it.

Fortunately, Aimin committed suicide to atone for her sins; otherwise, Maisang would probably have already started fighting with Yinshengshu and Fuyao.

“Regent…you, you’re finally back! His Majesty died a terrible death! I am to blame, I…” Ai Min was overwhelmed with emotion and wept uncontrollably.

"You didn't kill Dempras, so stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and take a deep breath. Order the entire army of Sulier to prepare for battle..." Maisang shouted with his bloodshot eyes and the last bit of clarity in his mind.

Just then, a surge of violent earth energy pressed down from above.

"You're Mai Sang?! You cowardly wretch! Show yourself!" The massive figure of the Divine Power King appeared at the edge of the sinkhole. His eyes were bloodshot, still immersed in the immense pain of losing his lover. Even tearing the murderer Ai Min to pieces wouldn't quell his hatred, let alone the fact that he had been saved, and that the savior was none other than Mai Sang, who was inextricably linked to everything!

The title "Maisang..." immediately silenced the noisy scene caused by the tragic deaths of King Sulier and Queen.

Representatives from various factions who had only heard of him but not seen him craned their necks, eager to see who this person who had stirred up the winds and waves on the Yatai Continent was.

Etesban narrowed his eyes, a forced smile playing on his lips. "Finally here. Then don't even think about escaping again!" He was seething with rage, but also inexplicably enraged by jealousy. A genius of unparalleled talent, the sole sovereign who should have been overlooking the world, why had this fat man, who had risen to power purely by chance, stolen his thunder?
Moreover, ever since his encounter with Masang under the guise of a palace guard, Etesban felt constantly on the defensive, completely lacking his usual ease and control. At this moment, he had forgotten Duke Zhuang Deming's instruction to "win him over, not kill him," and secretly resolved to put Masang to death. Meanwhile, Valodya was experiencing a complex mix of emotions. Masang's appearance gave the precarious Kino a chance to survive. A great battle was imminent; with whom should Ruhrz ally?
In reality, this rising political star has not yet realized a crucial issue: why would the once-dominant Rus' need to join forces with any other power to achieve victory? This underlying psychological shift is precisely proof that Rus' is withdrawing from the pinnacle competition on the continent of Yatai.

"Pass down the order: once the war begins, concentrate your forces to eliminate the high-ranking members of the Vagarata faction, leaving no survivors!" Qiu Yuanshan, the leader of the Shadows in the crowd, pointed and called over a subordinate to give the order.

"Why didn't our son come back with us?" Yuan Yao asked her husband with concern. "At the very least, you should have discussed a plan with Young Master Mai first. Is it appropriate to rashly take action against Poholuo Duoduo?"

"Hmph!" Qiu Yuanshan's eyes flashed with cold light as he said in a chilling voice, "Since Maisang has shown himself, he must have made a plan. There's nothing to discuss. Qino never attacks his allies first, so targeting the Ruhrers is inappropriate. As for Vahorodo, how can we let such a two-faced and treacherous person live? Killing them will set a good example for those wavering forces!"

"Sigh..." Yuan Yao sighed inwardly. She was all too familiar with the murderous intent and ruthlessness hidden behind her husband's gaze. It seemed that the Pohoro people would pay a heavy price for their actions.

"Boom!" Before Mai Sang could answer, Gris's fist, containing terrifying power, slammed down towards the entrance of the sinkhole with the force of shattering mountains and splitting rocks! Soil and rocks flew everywhere, and the powerful air pressure almost crushed the small underground space.

"What kind of superhuman king is he! He's nothing but a lover who's been eyeing other men's wives!" The fat man, already emotionally unstable, was completely enraged by this. He shoved Ai Min into a deeper corner, then shot into the air like a cannonball.

"Solid Wall!" Mai Sangren shouted in mid-air, his hands moving rapidly. A bright, earthy-yellow light shone from his body, and several thick, solid energy shields, shimmering with rock-like textures, instantly materialized in front of him, layer upon layer, to meet the fist of the Divine Power King.

"Foolish! Gris's earth magic is unparalleled, yet this guy wants to fight head-on. It seems I was overthinking it!" Etesban watched coldly, his heart filled with disdain.

"boom--!!!"

Fist and shield clashed, producing a deafening explosion. The outermost layer of the shield shattered, but the subsequent shield wall stubbornly withstood the fierce blow. The energy shockwave spread out in a ring, lowering the surrounding ground by more than an inch.

"Oh? Interesting!" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Divine Power King, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger fighting spirit. "Let's see how many more moves you can withstand!"

He made a grasping motion with both hands, conjuring a giant earth-elemental sword, which he then swept across. What was terrifying was that the giant sword's attack possessed a shock-like, shattering quality, as if it could directly affect the structure of matter itself. This was the essence of his so-called "divine power" technique—not merely a simple attack of brute force, but rather a profound understanding and application of the rules of "force."

Because the Earth Spirit Pearl Kunzhen had defected, Mai Sang was only using the earth elemental power stored in the acupoints around his body. He had barely managed to withstand the attack and felt that he was running out of steam. Seeing this, he quickly cast a lightning spell and struck the top of his opponent's head.

Seeing that his opponent had started fighting to the death after only one move, Gris felt much more at ease.

"Die, you scoundrel!" he roared, flicking his wrist to shatter the greatsword into a cloud of yellow sand, which, while shielding the fat man from the lightning spell attack, swept towards him.

Fatty: After a busy month, things are about to get interesting again!
