Chapter 2358

“Alright.” Feb nodded her dainty head.

Then, she flapped her little wings and left, quickly disappearing from James’ sight.

After Feb left, James’ anxiety resurfaced.

The Southwest Province was one of Sol’s central regions. Once it gets conquered by the Elephant

King, other beasts would surely follow his example, and Sol would soon be subjugated.

Once Sol falls, the entire world would also rapidly collapse, as would Wrymstead.

James had to prevent this from happening.

Even though he was no match for the Elephant King, he still had to go to the Southwest Province.

This was the first battle between humans and beasts. He had to defend the Southwest Province with all

his might.

However, he knew it would be impossible for him to defend the Southwest Province alone. He needed

Sol’s assistance and along with their heavy artillery.

Only then would he have a fighting chance against the Elephant King.

James left the area and headed to the Capital in Sol.

The Capital no longer flourished like it did in the past.

There were fewer people on the streets. Instead, fully armed troops marched around, and many

combat aircraft patrolled through the sky. Clearly they were worried about Outsiders infiltrating the

Capital.

There was a guard post every few steps he took in the city.

However, James could easily sneak past these guards with his current strength.

Both the new and old Kings were gathered together in the Peace Mansion.

The new King said despondently, “The situation is dire now. We’ve entered an apocalyptic era,

however, I’m just a regular human without any cultivation base. I’m not qualified to lead Sol anymore.”

He looked at the old King and said, “I’d like to resign from my position as King, Sir.”

The old King looked at him and said, “You want to resign at this critical hour?”

“There’s nothing I can do, Sir. The Elephant King has already announced he would bring a beast army.

…”

The old King interrupted him with a wave and said, “I understand your worries, but who will take over

your position if you step down now?”

In this era, no one would dare take over as Sol’s King.

Succeeding the throne would mean being responsible for the safety of billions of Sol’s citizens.

Both Kings fell silent.

A person stood guard outside the door.

Gloom watched the surroundings attentively.

In the past, Gloom was considered a powerful person, However, now, his strength was only slightly

better

than an ordinary person’s. Compared to the beasts, his strength was nothing.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of a pair of footsteps grew louder.

Gloom turned around and saw a man approaching. He was slightly taken aback and exclaimed, “The

Masked Warrior?”

James came over and took off his mask.

“J-James? Is that you?”

Gloom’s jaw dropped.

James nodded slightly, pushed open the door, and walked into the living room.

Before he entered the living room, he had already overheard the two Kings’ conversation.

The men in the room fell silent. Suddenly, the door opened, and a voice said, “I’ll be the King, then.”

Hearing the voice, the Kings got up simultaneously and turned to see the visitor.

When they saw James, both of them were dumbfounded.

“J-James? It’s you! You’re still alive?” The old King was frozen in shock. Then, a thrilled look appeared

on his face.

James nodded and said, “Yeah. Sol is now being threatened by a beast army, and I can no longer stay

hidden. I’ll take up the position of King. I will shoulder the burden of Sol’s fate.”
