The Monarch-Chapter 717: Ice King

After some time, Kayden's world developed cities and later countries. There was only one dominant race; this was something Kayden did not need to alter in any way. There were humans with bestial parts, whether fox ears or crocodile tails. These themselves were superior to ordinary humans in the talent for manipulating mana, but humanity still prevailed.

It was something amusing, how the race with the least talent of all, with the weakest beginning of all, was capable of reaching colossal heights simply because some humans escaped the average curve. These were always far above the average. They were the light that carried humanity. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

In Kayden's world, it was no different. A human named Yasmim Pratania was able to learn a basic law of light far above the average. It was a relatively common law for Kayden, but among ordinary mortals,s it was of a high level. This allowed her to begin an absolute reign among ordinary humans.

After some time, she was able to gradually increase her control and begin an empire. She conquered the surrounding kingdoms by brute force and destroyed the other races. Some were literally driven to extinction without any chance of retaliation. Those who remained were only the ones most similar to humans and who lowered themselves under the absolute control of this woman.

Unfortunately, she was only an ordinary mortal who achieved something great among the small. Her life was short. After a few thousand years, she died completely. With that, great chaos remained in Kayden's world, with everyone thinking about who would be the new emperor.

The world was very large. It was ridiculously large for mortals, to tell the truth. Only a small percentage of the world was controlled by rational mages. The rest was merely nature growing in an unrestrained and uncontrolled manner.

Each country of that empire was immense and very distant from the others. This made them slow in their decisions. Not only that, but there was a lack of any mage truly capable of reclaiming that empire. There were only influential families, but no great leader capable of emerging among them.

Kayden began to release laws into that world after some time. He had previously decided not to interfere directly, but he was becoming somewhat bored in the real world. His mind was fully capable of dividing a portion of his focus.

In a city in the frozen mountains, there was a country of relative level, too weak to be strong and too strong to be weak. It was a complete middle ground. There were a few thousand inhabitants in that mountain chain and several tens of millions throughout its length. All of them were humans specialized in ice magic. A prince was going through a somewhat difficult phase. His parents had died of old age only a few days ago. They were already very old, and only chaos remained for the dozens of princes and princesses. This would be a bloody battle for the crown. All those who had the right to the empire would be killed by their adversaries.

"So then, was it worth having killed your parents by poisoning?" Kayden smiled as he sat in front of the prince, catching him by surprise.

The prince was white as milk, almost in a frightening way. There were striking blue veins in many parts of his body because of how pale his skin was. He looked as if he had never seen a single ray of sunlight. He was tall and had a relatively athletic body.

His hair was completely blue, and his breath was cold, evidencing a strong control over the laws of ice. But there was a slightly different touch in him compared to the common ones. There was a small red glow in his eyes and some red roots in his hair.

He was a pariah among his people, a prince considered dirty, a mage who was born with talent for both fire and ice. This caused him to suffer strong reprisals among his people. But there was something in him. His soul was clean. It was a completely clean soul that appeared only a few times per universe.

"Who are you? How did you enter here?" The prince automatically evaluated all escape routes and measured Kayden's strength, which, to his surprise, was nothing. Not even a single point of mana in his body.

This caused him to immediately flee through the window while exploding the room with ice magic. Thousands of ice spikes were launched against Kayden. Not only that, but a fog arose, completely erasing all vision.

"Why do you hide your greatest trump card?" Kayden asked, and everything disappeared completely. It was almost as if no attack had ever been launched. The prince became completely paralyzed, his mind running through every possible hypothesis, and in seconds, he understood there was no escape.

"It is a mistake. I must not give in to temptation." Kayden did not let the boy continue.

"I am not an idiot, and I am not from this kingdom." Kayden took his usual teacup and took another one for the prince. "Sit." It was not a request. It was a complete order. "And introduce yourself."

"My name is Apolo Jynder, the 23rd prince of the frozen kingdom." He made a bow and accepted Kayden's cup. There was no escape left for him at that moment.

"Show me what you have been training in secret for so long." Kayden was direct and saw the mage in front of him freeze for a few seconds, and soon after, er release a blue flame.

A fire that did not burn. It froze, but it also burned. It was a frozen fire, something unique in that world. Of all the mages in that world, this was one of the most special, simply because Kayden had not been able to absorb this type of law in any of the universes he had passed through, and it was strong knowledge about the complete fusion of laws.

"You began to learn this recently, did you not?" The prince nodded. He had truly denied that part of his life out of shame.

"What do you want? And how do you know so much about me?" Kayden smiled. The boy was a child, but he was not a kitten who would simply listen to everything in silence.

"I am a god." Kayden smiled and saw the distrustful look of the mage in front of him. "And I only want you to conquer this country."

"There are dozens of princes better than me at this moment. It is impossible." The mage fully recognized his lack of strength without any ego.
