Chapter 325 325:- Fate Of Two Emperors Part [1]; Gian
Amber announced the death of King Liam George and told the people of Zion city that this entire Shadow Islands Empire was under their control. The people of Zion city and the people of the Shadow Islands Empire were going to have a new Emperor. As for who was going to be their new Emperor or which Empire has managed to overthrow Liam George, the previous King, no one had any idea about it. The people could only speculate till things comes to light.
Using 8 thousand soldiers that previously had surrendered to Aditya, Amber was able to stabilize the entire city. A sent four thousand soldiers to protect the first wall. The entire city was shut down and no people were allowed to go out or come in.
When the Defensive dome was broken, the people panicked and began running here and there. The whole of Zion city had temporarily fallen into Chaos. It took Amber a few hours to calm the chaos using the soldiers.
The Defensive dome of Zion city still needs to be fixed.
Back to the Royal Castle____
The Royal Castle of Zion city used to be the home of King Liam George. The people of Zion city could only dream of living at least one day of their life in such a grand place. To the people of Zion, the Royal Palace of Liam George is the most beautiful building structure that they have ever seen.
But in Aditya's eyes, the Royal Castle was nothing special. In his eyes, the Royal Castle belonged to the category of average. As someone who lives in the Dragon Palace, not even 100 Royal Castles can match the beauty and the value of the Dragon Palace.
Since the entire Shadow Islands Empire is now a territory of the Istarin Empire, Zion city will no longer be called the Capital. Aditya was planning on appointing a capable person to be in charge of Zion city and this island. Previously all the powers of the Shadow Islands Empire were concentrated within Ashcour Island but now this was going to change. Ashcour Island has gained the same status as the other eight shadow Islands.
And whoever is made in charge of governing Ashcour Island will use the Royal Castle of King Liam George. Aditya wasn't planning on using the Royal Castle. In his eyes, the Royal Castle is another man's property. Even if Liam is now dead and Aditya has taken over his Empire, it kind of felt strange for him to use someone else's thing. After all, King Liam has spent over 141+ of his life in this Royal Castle.
Thought it would be a different thing if the entire Royal Castle was renovated to suit Aditya's taste. But why Aditya would be interested in bronze when he owns diamonds?
"I truly never expected you to do all these in just a single night. This goes to show that from the beginning you had the power to crush us whenever you wished to. We were fools to think that we could defeat. Maybe if all of the western region's Emperors had managed to come together then maybe the whole outcome could have been changed."
Sigh!
"It looks like getting old has declined my thinking capacity. I should have understood this." Gian sighed in regret. Unlike King Elio whose eyes were full of fear, Gian's eyes were calm. Aditya can see regret in his eyes but there was no fear of death.
When Aditya learned that all seven Superpowers of the Western region were aiming for the Istarin Empire, more specifically the Southern region territories, he pulled a few strings to start a war among the four of the seven superpowers. Even now the four Empires are still fighting each other without knowing that it was Aditya behind all of this.
The other three Superpowers remained neutral. Aditya thought that this war would end the Western region's ambition of conquering the Southern region. However, he was wrong when the remaining three Superpowers gave a big sum of money to the Dragon Slayer guild to end the Istarin Emperor's life.
No one expected, the Dragon Slayer guild to be defeated even without Aditya. When their plan failed, the three Emperors were not frightened or anything. At that time, they didn't think that Aditya would later go on to annihilate the entire Dragon Slayer guild and drown the base island of the Dragon Slayer guild.
When their plans failed, the three Emperors were angry and frustrated as they had spent a lot of money hiring the Dragon Slayer guild for this job. Also not to mention the risk that they had taken. The three Emperors met and agreed to remain silent for the next few months till they can find a perfect plan.
The three superpowers thought all of these would be kept super secret but tonight they learned that Aditya was aware of their little plan. Not only that but also he had come in the darkness of the night to take revenge.
Now the Qezia Empire and the Niwen Empire also had fallen. In a single night, three superpowers fell into the hands of the Istarin Empire. This is something that no other Empire has managed to accomplish before. Taking down three Empires in a single night is an accomplishment that will surely send shockwaves throughout 6 continents.
Gian Harper is an old man who looks like he is around 80 years old. Gian had long white hair that reach down his waist. Unlike Emperor Elio, Gian was thin and skinny but tall as King Elio. He was fair-skinned. He had a long white beard. He wore white clothes. Gian is 149 years old.
The Emperor of the Niwen Empire is a Peak 2nd-order cultivator which is a surprising thing.
But according to Spencer, around a hundred years ago, Gian took a life-taking blow from a Peak 4th-order cultivator. As a result, Gian's cultivation directly fell from Peak 3rd-order to Peak 2nd-order. The Emperor tried everything in his power to heal his body but not even a Peak 3-star pill was able to help him. It was also because of this injury that, Gian started aging rapidly.
"King of Niwen Empire, do you regret your actions?" Aditya asked.
"I have very few regrets in life. But overall, I have lived a beautiful life. I might not have been a good man but I don't regret my action. Istarin King, you can kill me if you want. I have one last dying wish. Would you hear me out?" Aditya can sense that Gian is too prideful to lower his head to anybody. Even though he has been captured, unlike King Elio, Gian is totally calm and in control of his emotions. Old man Gian had the Aura of a King. But he was still willing to bend his head and request his enemy. This meant whatever Gian was going to wish for was something that is even more valuable than his pride and his honor.
"Oh, King of Niwen Empire, This Dragon Monarch will hear out your dying wish." Aditya was interested in a man like Gian. In the face of death, he had seen great figures discarding their pride and begging for their life. But this man was very different and unique.
"Just leave my family alone. Make them sign a blood contract and let them go." Aditya widened his eyes in surprise. Riya who was standing behind Aditya was also surprised. Instead of begging for his life, this man was asking him to spare his family's life.
If Gian had asked for his life, then Aditya wouldn't have killed him. He would have put Gian in his prison. But contrary to his expectations, this man chose his family.
Aditya smiled and nodded his head. "Alright, I give you my word."
Gian nodded his head with a relieved smile. The next moment, under everyone's shocked eyes, the old man took out a sword from his storage ring. He then gave one last nodding look to Aditya before stabbing himself with his sword.
"Farewell....!" Aditya, Riya, and everyone was still in deep shock.
Elio was petrified looking at Gian's dead body. Just like that, the old man had taken his life. There was no hesitation and no fear on his face. His resolve was strong as a mountain.
'Old man, you have earned my respect despite being my enemy. You died like a Hero.' Aditya then turned his attention to King Elio
"Now, what path are you going to choose, King Elio?"
