At this moment, the warship was less than a kilometer away from the beach. Atius stood on the deck with an expressionless face, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand members behind him leaped from the deck, sprinting across the water in teams of five, and in the blink of an eye, they charged onto the beach. The members of Blood Shark Island immediately began to counterattack. However, as soon as they engaged with the warriors of War God Palace, they fully realized the huge gap between the two sides. Even at the same level, the combat power of War God Palace members was significantly stronger. Moreover, the War God Palace teams, consisting of groups of five, cooperated with each other with exceptional tacit understanding. In contrast, the members of Blood Shark Island were like loose sand, fighting individually, often being cleaved in two after just an encounter. The three Island Masters of Blood Shark Island were instantly enraged and spread out, intending to act personally. Suddenly, shadows flashed by. Five Heaven Rank peak experts from War God Palace blocked the three Island Masters. "Stop!" The First Island Master trembled, "What has Blood Shark Island done to offend War God Palace?" The five Heaven Rank experts from War God Palace remained expressionless, one of them said coldly, "Go ask the King of Hell!" As soon as these words were spoken, the bodies of the Second and Third Island Masters of Blood Shark Island exploded violently! The First Island Master turned pale with fear and quickly said, "I am willing to lead all the members of Blood Shark Island to pledge allegiance to War God Palace!" "Sorry, you're not worthy!" One of the experts from War God Palace drew the long sword from his back and slashed towards the First Island Master. Within three moves, the First Island Master was sent flying, with a half-meter-long wound on his chest, from which blood gushed out. "This is because you forced me!" The First Island Master's face suddenly twisted with madness, and he let out a strange cry. The next moment, the entire Blood Shark Island began to shake violently. On the warship, Atius frowned and stepped out, his figure landing on the beach. The island continued to shake and suddenly split open with a huge crack. A massive trench, two kilometers long and over five hundred meters wide, appeared. Countless skeletons of marine creatures floated up, emitting a strong stench of blood. Suddenly, the island shook even more violently. The ground crumbled, and the water level rose rapidly! A huge vortex appeared, and within it, a massive dark red shadow could be faintly seen! The water surged violently, and a deep abyssal maw, over a hundred meters in diameter, suddenly lunged at hundreds of people. The faces of the five Heaven Rank experts from War God Palace changed drastically, and they flashed towards the monster to strike. But the long swords, which carried boundless might, could only leave faint white marks on the creature's body! "Return!" Atius' voice instantly spread across the entire sea region. All members of War God Palace immediately retreated, running wildly on the sea surface, and quickly returned to the warship. The members of Blood Shark Island were not so lucky, almost all being devoured by the monster. The First Island Master stood on the monster, making strange noises again. The monster plunged into the sea, and in the next moment, it appeared less than a hundred meters in front of the warship. Everyone then saw that the monster was actually a dark red blood shark over a kilometer long! Atius snorted coldly, "To have grown to the Saint Rank, this beast must have lived for over a thousand years." The First Island Master stood on the back of the blood shark and roared, "You forced me!" However, all members of War God Palace showed no fear. With the Lord present, what was there to fear, even if a hundred or a thousand such monsters came? Without warning, the blood shark opened its huge maw, attempting to swallow the entire warship. Atius snorted coldly, leaped into the sky, and slammed down with his palm. In that moment, the wind stopped, the tumultuous sea seemed to freeze, and everything was suppressed by Atius' might! When his palm struck the blood shark, endless true qi surged wildly. With a loud "boom," the kilometer-long blood shark instantly burst into countless pieces. The explosive shockwave spread instantly, creating hundred-meter-high waves, pushing the warship to shift a hundred meters sideways! The First Island Master of Blood Shark Island lay on the sea surface, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Atius. "You... you... you're Divine Rank! You're the Lord of War God Palace!" Atius walked over the sea surface to him and said expressionlessly, "Five years ago, in Red Dragon Kingdom, Shorysford City, the Seymour family, remember Dwayne?" The First Island Master's face changed dramatically, "How do you know!" "It seems you admit it," Atius kicked out fiercely, sending the First Island Master flying backwards, skidding hundreds of meters across the sea surface before exploding with a "bang". Afterward, the warship roared again, firing salvos of cannonballs. Until the sea turned blood red and no shadow of any island could be seen any longer. Then, the warship began its return journey. On the deck, the five Heaven Rank experts had red eyes. "Lord, are you really not returning to War God Palace?" Atius patted the shoulders of the five, speaking slowly, "Five years ago, I led a hundred of you to establish the War God Palace. Five years have passed, and all of you have become Heaven Rank experts. I am truly gratified." "In the days when I am not here, you must protect the War God Palace. As long as the War God Palace stands tall, all brothers can be safe and sound." "My revenge has been avenged, and it is time to spend a good life with my wife and daughter." Tears were held back by the group of Heaven Rank experts, "No, Lord, if you dare to retire, we will move all members of War God Palace back to Yeoannes City. Wherever you are, we will follow!" Atius smiled helplessly, "Let's talk about this another time." A day later, the warship stopped five nautical miles away from the port of Yeoannes. Atius left with Lena across the water. At the same time, the news that Blood Shark Island had been annihilated once again caused a sensation. The prestige of War God Palace rose to a new level. Those forces that thought Atius was absent and tried to target War God Palace once again held back. Royal Brocade Residence. Damir had already brought old man Lazar and Calum over and arranged for them to stay in the villa next door. As soon as Atius and Lena returned, Maille pulled them aside. "Atius, where did you and Lena go?" Atius smiled, "Lena studied abroad, right? She introduced me to a project, so I asked her to join me in discussing it." Maille uttered an "Oh", and then whispered, "What about those tenants? I always feel like those people are keeping an eye on our house." Atius waved his hand, "Those are tenants introduced by my friends, they can be trusted." Maille was reassured and continued, "Eilir is all better now, I think you should pick a time to get your marriage certificate." Atius shook his head with a smile, "Let's wait a bit longer." "Wait longer?" Maille's brows furrowed instantly, "Atius, what do you mean? You've been shamelessly insisting on being with Eilir, and now that Eilir has no objections, are you going to back out?" Atius shook his head, "No, I'm preparing for the wedding. Let's get the certificate after the wedding." "That's a proper matter," Maille nodded, "How is the wedding being arranged?" Atius spoke truthfully, "I plan to build a house in Yeoannes City, and the wedding will be held there." Maille pondered for a moment and nodded, "Building a house in the countryside and living a pastoral life is also nice. Eilir likes tranquility. But Nidawi is about to start school soon, and that can't be delayed." Atius nodded quickly, "Auntie, don't worry, I have it all arranged." "You're still calling me auntie!" Maille glared at Atius, "I heard your hometown is Shorysford. Although you're an orphan, you must have some relatives and friends. Invite them all to make the wedding lively." Atius's expression darkened, and he said nothing more. Time passed, and a week had gone by since Atius returned from Blood Shark Island. Early in the morning, Calandra bid farewell to Eilir, saying she was going home. Atius also smiled and told Eilir, "I'll go back to Yeoannes City with Calandra. There's a construction site starting up, and I need to check on it." Eilir nodded, "Don't overwork yourself." Moments later, Calandra drove away. Atius sat in the passenger seat, resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Calandra spoke, "Atius, are you really a contractor?" Atius opened his eyes and smiled, "Why, do you think I don't look like one?" "Not really," Calandra shook her head, "You used to say you were a soldier, and Eilir and I thought you were the subordinate of that mysterious big shot." Atius remained silent with a smile. "By the way, you said you've taken on a project in Yeoannes City," Calandra frowned slightly, "Do you know who bought Magpie Bridge Mountain?" "If I say I bought it, would you believe me?" Calandra rolled her eyes at Atius, "You're boasting. You couldn't afford it even if you were a contractor for ten thousand years." "But I heard that Magpie Bridge Mountain has also started construction. I'm really looking forward to the completion of Magpie Bridge Palace." Calandra showed a yearning expression, "I wonder what kind of bride is worthy to live there." Atius asked with a smile, "Do you think Eilir would like to live there?" Calandra didn't hesitate to nod, "Of course! There isn't a woman in this world who could refuse such a romantic thing!" "When Magpie Bridge Palace is completed, if you find a way for me and Eilir to stay there for one night, then you'll really be capable!" Atius was immediately reassured. Calandra understood Eilir, and since she said Eilir would like it, it was almost certainly correct. With this in mind, Atius looked forward even more to the Magpie Bridge Mountain project. Before long, Calandra drove back to the Jernigan family. Seeing Atius return as well, Gillespie immediately became excited. Now that Indivar had successfully joined War God Palace, the entire Jernigan family could be considered an affiliate of War God Palace. After Calandra went upstairs, Gillespie hurriedly said, "Lord, are you back to check on the progress of Magpie Bridge Mountain?" "Mr. Jernigan, don't be so formal, just call me Atius," Atius nodded, "How is Magpie Bridge Mountain doing?" Gillespie nodded quickly, "Very smoothly, my second and third brothers are watching over it, and all the construction teams are working hard." "How about I accompany the Lord to take a look?" Atius naturally would not refuse and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Jernigan."
