I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Lord Chalmarc is in danger!"

The world government officials looked at each other, but none of them moved.

"Report this immediately! The golden lion in the sky is likely a decoy! It's using this as a cover!"

"And now, the pirate king Higuma is actually taking this opportunity to attack a Celestial Dragon!"

..........

"Hurry up! What are you doing?! Hurry up!"

While the Holy Land descended into chaos, the Celestial Dragon Saint Charmaco remained seated on the back of a tall slave, relentlessly whipping the slave beneath his feet.

Although he looked somewhat flustered, he maintained his dignity as a Celestial Dragon amidst the chaos, thus falling behind many others.

At this time.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky!

As the slaves at the feet of Saint Charmaco walked around the corner of the building, they saw Sig's figure descend from the sky and land in front of him.

As their eyes met, streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating their faces.

Fate, amazing.

"How could it be him?"

Charmaco Saint's eyes widened instantly, his fat face, full of excess flesh, contorted slightly, and he couldn't help but sniffle, while a snot streamed from one nostril.

"How could it be him?"

Sig was also roaring inside.

The lightning overhead was so intense that he was starting to panic and was scrambling to get to the ground as quickly as possible to figure out what to do next.

But how did I end up clashing with a Celestial Dragon? And not just any Celestial Dragon, but one I knew before.

Before Sieg could do anything, he heard Charles Saint shout.

"What are you standing there for! Kill him!"

As Saint Charmaco shouted, he jumped off the back of the human slave and ran shakily toward the depths of the holy land.

“Sieg...it really is Sieg.”

The bodyguards and slaves standing nearby all had ashen faces.

Even if they faced the infamous Sig, they could not back down because of the Celestial Dragons' orders.

"Sig, prepare to die!"

The bodyguards in black suits let out a low growl, their muscles bulging, and the longswords at their waists were instantly drawn and gripped tightly in their hands, the blades gleaming with a cold metallic light.

These people were, after all, the personal bodyguards of the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land, and their own strength was not weak; they exuded a dangerous aura.

"Wait a minute!"

Sig felt a chill run down his spine and decisively raised his hand to stop him, intending to say something to buy time.

However, the bodyguards remained unmoved. Just as they raised their knives, ready to launch an attack!

Boom! A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck their blades, instantly engulfing the three or four bodyguards and slaves.

Accompanied by screams and uncontrollable spasms in their limbs, the bodyguards were struck by lightning and charred beyond recognition, collapsing to the ground and losing consciousness instantly.

This lightning bolt at extremely close range struck the bodyguards, knocking them unconscious.

Although Charmaco Saint, who had just run a few steps away, escaped unharmed, his body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head back.

In his eyes, Sieg remained standing motionless when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, and his bodyguards all collapsed instantly...

"The thunderclouds in the sky aren't controlled by the Golden Lion... they're controlled by Sig, aren't they?"

Charmaco Saint suddenly felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and for a moment he couldn't move his feet. He could only watch helplessly as Sieg walked towards him step by step.

Chapter 517 The King on the Void Throne

On the edge of the Red Line, the sea was constantly churning. A newly assembled naval fleet had set sail, heading directly from the naval headquarters to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Sengoku's expression was solemn. He stood at the bow of the warship, looking up at the distant Red Earth Continent.

From here, he could see thunderclouds billowing over the holy land, and a terrifying storm raging.

"Perhaps, Shiki is the pirate who poses the greatest threat to this world; his abilities are too troublesome."

As Sengoku was thinking this, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket rang again.

After connecting to the Den Den Mushi and hearing the information conveyed in the conversation, Sengoku's expression immediately turned extremely grim.

"What? The golden lion that appeared in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise was just a cover?"

"The one who actually committed the crime in the Holy Land is Sigurd; he seems to be planning to attack the Celestial Dragons?"

After hearing the intelligence, he slammed his hand on the ship's railing, his forehead covered in black lines.

What angered him was not how audacious Sieg was to cause such a disturbance in the Holy Land.

But it was the information he had recently extracted from Ah Long...

"What grand plan to retire into seclusion? I don't believe you for a second..."

"Who would want to retire from public life and actively attack the Holy Land, let alone the Celestial Dragons?"

Sengoku clenched his fists instinctively; he was already enraged.

Previously, Fisher Tiger, the fishman hero who burned down the Holy Land, was known as the first hero to wreak havoc in the Holy Land and rebel against the Celestial Dragons.

But even he only freed the slaves; he didn't lay a hand on the Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, the veracity of the information provided by the fishman Arlong is questionable.

"Arlong the Fishman doesn't seem to be lying... It seems that Sieg is more difficult to deal with than I thought."

"It seems his subordinate, Ah Long, was also kept in the dark..."

...............

The news of Sig's appearance in Mary Geoise certainly didn't only reach Sengoku's ears.

Amidst the thunderous roar and chaos in the holy land, the Five Elders walked slowly and remained as calm as ever, arriving at a large hall deep within Pangu City.

Look up.

Dozens of swords were stuck into the floor of the hall's staircase, representing the 20 kings who established the World Government...

Behind these swords and blades was an empty throne.

The throne's armrests are shaped like jade lion heads, while the backrest features the symbol of a world government.

The Void Throne is roughly sword-shaped, with its backrest pointing straight to the sky like a sharp sword, and it is decorated with scattered stars.

Another bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the somewhat dimly lit Void Throne Hall.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a figure had appeared on the empty throne where no one else could sit.

"Lord Im."

The five elders knelt down together at that moment, bowing their heads and not looking at the figure on the throne.

"We have basically confirmed the existence of this person, Sig."

"He is special; he is not a reappearance of lights that have disappeared in history... He is an unexpected variable that does not exist in the original history."

"His level of danger is probably even greater than that of the previous lights... Black Flame Dragon, Angel Fruit, and a series of legends whose truth or falsehood is hard to discern..."

"One more thing to note is that he has now arrived at the Holy Land, although only on its outskirts..."

The tall, slender figure on the Void Throne lowered his eyelids, looking down at the Five Elders kneeling on one knee below.

"Then let's just eliminate him."

"His abilities are too strange; making contact with him rashly will only lead to unforeseen consequences."

A barely audible whisper said:

“I will use real power and authority.”

"Heavenly King".

The moment the word came out of Im's mouth, it seemed as if the entire Void Throne Hall grew colder.

This caused even the five elders kneeling below the stage to tremble slightly and be moved.

"Lord Im, Uranus, the Heavenly King, like the other two Ancient Weapons, is a weapon for destroying nations and even the world, not a weapon used against people..."

"Moreover, Sieg is currently on the outskirts of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

On the Void Throne, the calm voice continued:

"Holy Land? It's just the outskirts of this Pangu City."

"It's just those people's gardens and residences; if they're destroyed, so be it."

For 800 years, as the Celestial Dragons continued to multiply and expand, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise also continued to build new buildings and expand, with Pangaea as its core.

But the outer perimeter has always been merely the facade of the holy site, consisting of gardens and residential areas.

Just like the "Tiger burning the holy site incident" a long time ago.

The sacred land was burned to the ground, but the Celestial Dragons only lost their slaves; it did not threaten their very foundation. Im didn't care about that.

And now...

"As you wish."

“We will send people to hold Sieg back. We will await the moment of trial.”

The Five Elders rose from the ground and took their leave, leaving Im alone in the hall.

In the dimly lit hall, Im rose from his throne, extended his palm, and placed it on the World Government emblem on the back of the chair.

The five black circles of the World Government emblem lit up one by one. A soft glow gradually filled the empty hall.

The soft light flowed like water, then gradually converged upwards along the giant blade of the Void Throne, until finally a silver line emerged from the tip of the giant sword, passed through the top of the Void Hall, and pointed straight to the sky.
