"Although Dalton's president has already left, his wife is still here."

"It seems she's facing some trouble now. How to deal with it is up to your discretion."

After speaking, the shadowy figure dissolved as if it had melted into the darkness.

Although he knew Hathaway, their relationship was not particularly close.

Unless she actively sought help, he would never intervene.

Upon hearing the shadow's words, Koro slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and the entire Death Starfield trembled violently!

This aura had clearly surpassed the Supreme Sanctuary rank!

…

In the blink of an eye, a millennium had passed in the standard time of the planes.

Over these thousand years, the known world hadn't undergone any revolutionary changes, maintaining the original order.

However, the Unknown Land at the borders had been sending unsettling energy waves, like the prelude to a coming storm.

Zisen Sacred Empire's Empress Hathaway, during this millennium, had spent almost all her time in deep meditation, aside from issuing a series of battle-readiness commands.

Meanwhile, the Sacred Empire and Dalton formally announced their alliance!

This news sent shockwaves through numerous star regions.

Aside from Dalton's core members, nearly every other faction had predicted that the two great powers would inevitably clash.

After all, two tigers cannot coexist in one mountain.

Now, the union of these two massive forces, while astonishing, also provided many powerful individuals with a relatively stable environment for growth.

Especially with Dalton's astonishing rate of power growth, many from the Sacred Empire had been left in awe.

First, a Supreme Sanctuary rank God of War emerged, followed by a Paladin.

This was not enough—soon, a War Sovereign arose!

At this moment, many powerful individuals gathered at Dalton's president's residence.

Not only were Dalton's elites present, but many generals from the Sacred Empire were there as well.

After the alliance, the relationship between the two factions was unexpectedly harmonious.

This was largely due to Dalton's proactive goodwill.

Although Hathaway had issued friendly commands, the lower ranks of the Sacred Empire had initially remained cautious about Dalton.

However, Dalton's side was extremely warm, inviting them to tour the city and generously sharing rare resources.

Faced with such sincerity, the Sacred Empire members could not refuse.

Before long, the two sides had fully integrated.

"Do you think it will succeed?"

Elarielle gazed at a sealed meditation chamber at the president's residence, her expression grim.

Beside her, Walter nodded. "I believe in Reize; he will definitely succeed."

The Sacred Empire members, however, had complex expressions.

Dalton was truly a gathering place for monsters.

If Reize succeeded, Dalton would add another Blade Sovereign to its ranks!

Throughout the history of Starsea, there were few who could push the will of the blade to its extreme.

Walking alone in the pathless realm, unless one was an extraordinarily gifted genius, it was nearly impossible to achieve anything significant.

Even someone as strong as Reize, already a Supreme Sanctuary rank, still faced countless challenges on the road to Blade Sovereign.

Fortunately, Leo had left behind crucial guidance and legacy before he left.

Now, Reize was at the most critical phase of his breakthrough.

In the crowd, a petite figure was anxiously watching the front.

"Amelia, don't worry too much. Reize won't be harmed,"

Selas whispered in comfort beside her.

Amelia worriedly replied, "I'm afraid he'll be sad if he fails..."

Seeing her expression, Selas couldn't help but gently ruffle her hair.

This gesture startled Amelia slightly, as Reize often comforted her in the same way.

"Don't worry."

Wendell, standing beside Selas, suddenly spoke.

He looked toward the meditation chamber, a smile on his face.

"It seems our brother Reize truly has talent."

"Blade Sovereign… this is the first time I've heard of it!"

At that moment, everyone looked up in shock at the sky.

A domineering and unparalleled aura surged like a tsunami!

Buzz—!

A blade of light split the void in two, leaving a massive, unhealable rift behind!

At the same time, a figure shot into the sky, holding a Thunder Judicator that was emitting a joyful and intense humming sound!

The terrifying will of the blade spread, and everyone present felt as though their skin was being cut by invisible blades!

Is this what a Blade Sovereign feels like?!

As they looked at Reize in the sky, holding the great sword, everyone's hearts were filled with emotion.

Dalton's people reacted first, erupting into thunderous cheers!

"Blade Sovereign! Blade Sovereign!!"

"Long live Lord Reize!"

"Lord Commander is our role model!"

"Reize, you did it!"

…

At this moment, Reize's heart was equally overwhelmed with excitement.

In his mind, the memory of the time when Leo first handed him the Judicator surfaced.

Back then, he had no idea of the sword's value, nor did he ever dream of achieving today's level of success.

Time passed, and he had now become a Blade Sovereign, celebrated throughout Starsea!

How strange the world was.

Thinking of this, Reize knelt on one knee toward the boundless sky.

"Mr. President, I, Reize, swear an oath with this sword to serve Dalton for all eternity!"

Reize's achievement as Blade Sovereign meant that Dalton's strength had now reached the peak of the known star regions.

If it weren't for the fact that Sacred Empire had Empress Hathaway holding the fort, Sacred Empire itself would likely not be a match for Dalton right now.

However, just as everyone was celebrating,

A loud explosion echoed across Starsea, coming from a distant and extremely far-off location!

In an instant, all the powerful figures' hearts sank, and an ominous premonition rose within them.

The sound came from an important boundary of the Unknown Land!

Long ago, the higher-ups had been aware of the potential threat.

Sacred Empire had stationed over seventy percent of its military forces at the major borders, especially those facing the Unknown Land.

Without a doubt, Empress Hathaway had always been preparing for an invasion from that unknown enemy.

Now, the unknown powerful foe had finally arrived!

Soon, several reconnaissance experts rushed over at top speed.

Among them were Sacred Empire's sentinels and members of Dalton's Hat Organization.

"No, it's bad! The boundary barrier of the Unknown Land... has been forcefully torn apart!"

At this news, everyone was stunned!

Some showed fear, others furrowed their brows, and some burned with battle intent.

A Sacred Empire general barked,

"Everyone! Her Majesty has ordered that all combat personnel immediately gather at the Unknown Land border!"

Everyone exchanged glances and, without needing more words, nodded in agreement.

Elizabeth immediately drew her Holy Sword, and her battle intent filled the air like a tangible force, making everyone present feel a chill down their spine.

She smiled faintly.

"I've been waiting for this!"

Since achieving War Sovereign in the Rage Starfield, Elizabeth's thirst for battle had grown stronger each day!

Buzz—

Aragis lightly waved his lance, and an even more refined and profound terrifying aura swept forth.

The thousand years had only made his protective path even more formidable.

"Dalton fears no challenge."

"Well said, Lord Aragis!"

Elarielle and the others responded.

As Dalton's core leaders, none of them had a strength lower than the Supreme Sanctuary rank!
