Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 550 - 303: Shattered Worldviews

"I’m really curious to see how powerful such a young demigod can be."

Louis glanced at the distant sky with a slight smile.

Beatrice said nothing, merely watched him and smiled.

Olivia was indifferent to this; she never envied such a fortunate one.

It’s yet to be determined whether it counts as fortune.

When they returned to the Imperial Palace of the Lokeshi Empire, he looked once more at the force aura soaring into the clouds on the horizon.

"The Little Dragon Emperor, huh? I just don’t know what’s wrong with him that requires the Lokeshi to specifically invite us here for help."

Indeed.

This time, Louis and his group came to the Lokeshi Empire for both open and hidden reasons.

On the surface, it was to discuss with the Lokeshi Empire how to respond to the onslaught of the Demon King Army.

The hidden reason is that the Lokeshi Empire hopes that the Ense can assist the Little Dragon Emperor with a certain issue, in exchange for further expansion of the Curse Binding Legion’s resources.

Although Louis was well aware that the Lokeshi Empire would eventually agree to the expansion of the Curse Binding Legion.

It was just more advantageous for him to reach a consensus with Lokeshi earlier.

The next day, they completed the relevant proposals about filling the Curse Binding Legion with new resources in the Imperial Palace.

The outcome of the discussion was that Lokeshi decided to form a temporary emergency army with the Ense Empire.

The purpose of this army, on the surface, is to maintain peace on the Star Continent, suppressing Evil God Cultists in areas where the Abyssal Church is active.

On the inside, everyone in this army was aware of the existence of the Curse Binding Legion.

They were the most loyal soldiers of the two empires, already determined to fight to the death against the Abyssal Church followers and even the Demon King Army.

They were even willing to complete this mission in the form of the Curse Binding Legion after death.

The Lokeshi Empire made only one request.

After these wars that would affect the entire continent ended, they hoped Louis could grant those soldiers their freedom.

Louis agreed.

Although he knew very well that whether to grant them freedom once their soldiers converted into the Curse Binding Legion would ultimately be up to him.

But at this moment, he clearly expressed his stance.

The existence of the Curse Binding Legion itself goes against the cycle of heaven and earth, and Louis’s core purpose in controlling the Curse Binding Legion is to ensure that those he loves are not threatened with death.

However, the Demon King Army and the future Abyssal Army are unwilling.

He could only choose this extreme means of counteracting the vast armies of the Demon King Army and Abyssal Army.

If the threat could be resolved smoothly, having so many members of the Curse Binding Legion didn’t matter as much to him.

After all, he could clearly feel that as his profession level rose, his power was rapidly expanding at a startling speed.

Now, at full power, he could clash with demigods, and once he advanced to legendary status, he would only become more formidable.

Upon advancing to demigod status, he would even dare to dance in front of Old Deng.

Anyway, he figured that by then, Old Deng probably couldn’t kill him either.

At that time, whether or not there was the Curse Binding Legion would be irrelevant.

I am the legion!

It wasn’t long after the negotiations ended that he and Beatrice made a trip to the Jean family.

The Jean family, one of the top five families carrying the bloodline of the Purgatory Dragon.

The Little Dragon Emperor, Kane Jean, now resided in the Sword Courtyard of the Jean family.

"What exactly did that Little Dragon Emperor do to require you to personally go and have a look?"

Sitting in the carriage, Louis looked curiously at his first wife.

Beatrice smiled and said, "They need the power of the Eye of Truth."

"I know, it’s just that right now your Eye of Truth hasn’t advanced to authority level, needing an Eye of Truth of this level feels a bit strange."

Beatrice’s Eye of Truth is somewhat like a weakened combination of the greed for knowledge and insight skills.

Since she could see the essence of many powerful entities and forces, Beatrice could more easily uncover others’ combat techniques than the average person.

As a note, being one of Mr. Kulin’s students, Beatrice is among the few who have mastered the third layer of the invisible vortex.

This Sword Saint-level technique, even reaching the third layer, is infinitely beneficial.

Not to mention, as an Arcane Knight, Beatrice also needed to have sufficient knowledge of magic.

And this magic stuff, if you can recognize and understand it, you’re already more than halfway to learning it.

The Eye of Truth has such an effect.

As for insight, it’s even more direct—for most sources of visible power, even a Sin Dragon’s arsenal, Beatrice could discern its characteristics at first glance.

However, even Beatrice’s Eye of Insight has its limits at this stage.

For understanding many things, it might not be as strong as those longstanding creatures.

Louis was also curious about what problems required this stage of the Eye of Truth to solve.

Upon reaching the Jean family, Louis could clearly sense the oppression of demigod-level forces.

The current head of the Jean family, Bart Jean, stood at the entrance long before they arrived to welcome them.

"Welcome, honored guests, to the Sword Courtyard."

Bart Jean bowed, then raised his head to say, "Seeking help over such a long distance truly shames our family, but there’s nothing we can do. Kane, that child, is in a situation that only the Eye of Truth might help solve."

Louis couldn’t help but think sarcastically, does the Jean family even count as a family?

Which family can claim to inhabit ten percent of an empire’s hundreds of millions of people?
