From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

The most important reason the Fischer family chose the sea battle was the great Lord of the Lost!

After Karl devoured a part of the Sea God's authority, he gained the power to manipulate the weather over the seas, and as long as his believers were among them, he could pour out a vast amount of lightning continuously.

The only problem was that it required the consumption of Spiritual Power, which ultimately had its limits.

The enormous battle puppets were defeated, and everyone was shocked beyond measure, with the Royal Family feeling as if they had seen a ghost!

They simply couldn't understand why the war puppets, which even the Monarch powerful experts couldn't defeat, suddenly faced... divine punishment!

Where did that endless stream of lightning come from?

Why could it fall one after the other, annihilating the war puppets with such precision!

"Do they really have the protection of the vast Tempest Overlord?"

"I heard that the Tempest Church is standing on their side!"

"Is it possible that a powerful expert from the Tempest Church is hidden in the clouds making their move?"

The enemies, surrounded by fear, couldn't catch their breath and wanted to retreat from the sea battle and flee quickly.

The surface of the sea was still shrouded in thick gunsmoke and the stench of fear; the retreating fleet of enemy warships was orderly yet heavy, like a giant beast led by fate, slowly moving away to the distance.

However, a storm of destruction was brewing over the quiet sea.

Karl knew from the very beginning the importance of eradicating the roots.

He had no intention of letting those enemy ships escape!

Suddenly, people raised their heads to see a massive crack as if torn open in the sky, with silver lightning roaring out of the fissure like a giant dragon, bearing down on the sea surface.

The mast of the first warship trembled in the thunder, followed by a robust lightning strike that engulfed the entire ship in Blazing Fire in an instant, interweaving gunfire and thunder into a symphony of doomsday.

Then, the lightning, like an enraged and ferocious deity, kept striking down from the sky, each bolt accurately targeting the retreating warships.

Those sail-powered leviathans appeared so fragile under the assault of lightning, one after another exploding into huge bursts of flame on the sea's surface, like lit fireworks, brief yet brilliant!

Gunsmoke and flames spread over the sea, and the wreckage of warships bobbed among the waves.

The once orderly retreat had now descended into utter chaos, the remaining warships scattering in all directions, fleeing in fear, but regardless of where they fled, they could not escape the pursuit of lightning.

The scene was like divine retribution descending, and every bolt of lightning was like the judgment of a deity, mercilessly destroying these warships.

Many Extraordinary Exponents escaped from the ships, trying to use their own powers to flee, yet the lightning continued to chase after the Transmutation Level and above Extraordinary Exponents relentlessly.

One Extraordinary Exponent after another met their demise.

"Hunter in the Fog" Jayern, cloaked in white mist, attempted to hide his form and escape from the waters.

Suddenly, a robust bolt of lightning slashed out from the vortex of clouds in the sky, like a silver giant dragon roaring towards the Extraordinary powerful expert.

Jayern, a powerful expert, shifted his figure swiftly, quickly adjusting his flying posture to dodge this lethal strike.

He waved the staff-like weapon in his hand, drawing radiant trails of light, trying to contend with the thunderbolt.

But the power of thunder was too overwhelming; Jayern's attacks could only slightly slow the thunderbolt's speed, unable to completely block it.

"Oh great Lord of the Lost!"

Onlookers like Helen, Darren, and others were praising in their hearts; the miracles of the Lord of the Lost were simply too glorious and magnificent, the entire sea region was like a stage for thunder, and all enemies fell into fear!

As more and more thunderbolts descended from the sky, even Jayern, a Monarch powerful expert, began to feel overwhelmed, his speed slowly reducing, his body struck once by the lightning, emitting a scent of burning.

But he did not give up, still clenching his teeth and persisting, trying to find a sliver of life.

However, in the relentless pursuit of thunderbolts, Jayern eventually exhausted his strength; another, even more robust lightning bolt descended like a divine punishment, striking him precisely.

His figure trembled in the air, his spiritual power spent, and like a kite with its string cut, he plummeted rapidly, his clothes shredded to pieces under the barrage of thunderbolts.

Ultimately, "Hunter in the Fog" Jayern crashed heavily into the sea, raising a spray of waves, appearing so fragile and helpless.

At this moment, he was no longer the soaring Monarch powerful expert, but an ordinary person defeated by a thunderbolt.

"We've won!"

The people cheered loudly!

They praised the gods!

The victory was so delightful!

The sea battle finally came to an end, and there was no doubt that the Fischer family and the Romann family had achieved a complete victory. The Royal Family not only suffered heavy casualties and loss of their main naval forces but also captured "Hunter in the Fog" Jayern, the Monarch powerful expert of the Abernathy family, who had once taken his son to the promotion celebration for Chris.

On the other side of the main battlefield, Byrne and Aldrich were restraining the remaining combat strength of the Royal Family with a portion of their troops.

Once the news of victory at sea arrived, they decisively retreated to avoid further losses.

——

A few days later, another family council of the Fischers began.

The people in the basement looked serious, having obtained very important intelligence from their captive, "Hunter in the Fog" Jayern.

"Carnians?"

Byrne muttered to himself, then turned to look at his son Darren, who nodded lightly.

Speaking seriously, Darren said, "After meeting Aldrich, Jayern has been very cooperative with us. He explicitly stated that he does not wish for a civil war, and if it were possible to resolve domestic conflicts quickly, all the better."

"Whichever side can resolve the conflicts quickly, he supports... and right now, he believes that we're the side with the better chance of winning!"

He chuckled and said, "At this point, it's either us or the Words of Tranquility and the Royal Family that must be dealt with."

"Furthermore, according to him, the Adley Royal Family, under the control of the Words of Tranquility, has no dignity left to speak of; they directly promised the entire East Coast Province to the Carnians in exchange for their help in defeating our two great families!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this; the East Coast Province was one-tenth of Cyart land!

The fact that the Adley Royal Family was willing to cede it in exchange for the help of the strongest nation in the East, Carnia, was astonishing.

However, everyone soon felt it made sense, for although to the Cyart nobility each inch of land was precious, to the Words of Tranquility who were secretly manipulating the war, it meant nothing.

Taking a deep breath, Byrne said, "Because the Lorne citizens support Vallere, Carnia has received help from the Seven Stars Emperor, even acquiring two Calamity class battle puppets."

"Thus, the Carnians handed one of these over to the Adley Royal Family."

"Such a battle puppet possesses near Monarch Level mobility, the offensive power of a low-level Monarch, and the most terrifying feature... a powerful defense barrier arranged by the hands of a Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert, likely only a high-level Monarch could destroy it!"

Upon saying this, Byrne paused, quickly recalling his initial meeting with Prince Conrad of Carnia, who had helped the Meyer family and the Rhea People oppose Cyart.

It was a ridiculous twist of fate—Carnians and some Cyart people were now allies!

"Perhaps there are never permanent friends or enemies," he said.

Meanwhile.

On the outskirts of Nasir City, the somewhat elderly Karno quietly gazed at the silhouette of his homeland.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It had been a long time since he had returned.

In fact, if it hadn't been necessary, Karno would not have considered returning.

The reason for his return this time was that Karno had brought someone very important, an individual who would directly determine the future course of the entire war, and could potentially cause a significant shift in his family's future.

Therefore, he had to return.

That person was a Lorne citizen.
