Chapter 25: I Will Conquer This Cloud Sea
The two armies faced each other directly.
If the two warring parties were evenly matched, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
However, once one side suddenly possessed absolute dominance, the so-called conquest would be unimpeded.
Roy controlled the giant of white clouds and tore off the roof of the Kalia Island temple.
In fact, from that moment on.
The Four Island Alliance was destined to be absorbed by Roy.
A cloud giant a hundred meters tall, combined with the deterrence of the Reaper's Sound.
There were no surprises.
Roy easily conquered Kalia Island, an island that Albert, with the strength of the entire island, had failed to take.
Sitting on the throne belonging to a god, he looked down at the four Gods of Sky Island prostrating themselves on the ground.
It was clear that those who reached high positions were not fools.
When faced with an unresisting situation, they wholeheartedly offered their loyalty.
Among them, Torres was even more decisive, offering the sword symbolizing power on Kalia Island.
The remaining three Gods of Sky Island immediately kowtowed to show their loyalty.
The adults who were once high and mighty now groveled pitifully at Roy's feet.
Facing this man they could barely resist.
For their own lives and the lives of their people, dignity at this moment was merely the act of kneeling.
"Albert, go and take a census of everyone on this island. I want the results before nightfall."
Without paying attention to the four kneeling below.
Roy directly ordered Albert to count the future slaves on the island.
Because Roy had conquered Puka first, and Albert had been the first to offer his loyalty, Roy didn't mind granting Albert some authority.
Sometimes, the suppression by one's own kind is the best method of rule.
Because no one understands you better than your own kind.
Roy's order for Albert to take the census represented his trust in Albert.
And no one present was a fool.
Albert bowed his head, his face filled with excitement as he walked out of the roofless temple.
Seeing this, the four Gods of Sky Island, still prostrate on the ground, showed a wry smile.
Because not long ago, they had personally defeated the army in Albert's hands and carried out a pursuit and slaughter.
But they never expected the reversal to come so quickly.
One moment they were the victors, and the next they had become prisoners in someone else's hands.
Facing the other meaning behind Roy's words.
Torres and the others prostrating on the ground knew that their future days would likely be difficult.
And while the other three Gods of Sky Island were worrying about the future.
Torres, at that moment, was thinking about how to gain status from this lord before him.
His pupils spun in his eye sockets as he pondered.
When he dared to look up slightly and saw Roy holding the map they had discussed in their meeting.
A somewhat gambling idea formed in Torres's mind.
This lord before him was so engrossed in looking at the map of their meeting.
Could it be that this lord was also interested in the surrounding Sky Islands?
Thinking of this, and then thinking of his own hatred for Albert.
Knowing that if he continued to wait for death, he would not have a good outcome, Torres gritted his teeth.
He looked up and said to Roy, who was looking at the map on the throne, "My lord, what you are holding is the latest map of the Cloud Sea we have drawn. If there is anything you cannot see clearly, I would be very happy to serve you."
As he said this, Torres's throat felt like it was in his mouth.
But facing the blood feud between them and Puka.
To make his future days easier, Torres had truly risked everything.
Sweat had already soaked Torres's back, and the other three Gods of Sky Island, also prostrate on the ground, began to tremble and sweat profusely.
Facing this man who could almost be compared to a true god.
The previous Reaper's Sound had already turned them into weak lambs.
Torres, how dare this guy?
Wasn't he afraid of this lord's wrath?
Just as the other three Gods of Sky Island were frantically scheming in their hearts.
"Oh, then tell me about the Sky Islands on this map!"
Roy had always greatly admired ambitious people.
In the future, Albert would become Roy's lackey.
But in Roy's mind, to balance Albert's power, he had to place another subordinate with comparable influence.
Originally, Roy was still contemplating who to choose to place on this Sky Island.
Torres's sudden interjection gave Roy some different ideas.
Looking at the man before him who was clearly fearful, yet ambitious.
Roy didn't mind giving him a chance.
After Roy agreed to Torres's words.
The hearts of the Gods of Sky Island present, which had been in their throats, slowly began to fall.
At this moment, Torres knew he had gambled correctly.
Torres hung the giant map and spread it out before Roy.
As he began to explain it bit by bit, Roy quickly absorbed the geographical information of the Sky Island.
When Albert returned to the divine temple with his settlement results, the moment he saw Torres explaining the map to Roy.
A sense of crisis spontaneously arose in Albert's heart.
Torres's gaze inadvertently met Albert's.
At this moment, Roy knew his objective had been achieved.
A competitive relationship formed between Torres and Albert.
And this was just a small trick of Roy's.
In fact, to Roy, all the future inhabitants of this Sky Island would merely be his slaves. His willingness to delegate power to Albert and Torres was simply for convenience in management.
The geography on the map was explained by Torres and then quickly absorbed by Roy.
Only then did Roy understand why he had searched for so long without finding the Sky Island.
It turned out that the Cloud Sea above the sky was constantly moving, and the positions of these islands were also changing according to a pattern.
After understanding this knowledge.
Large streams of white mist began to be transported from beneath Roy's feet into the interior of the island.
"Very good, Torres. I strongly approve of your previous plan. This Cloud Sea indeed needs a master."
Rising from the throne of the gods.
Roy spread his arms wide, and under the astonished gazes of Albert and Torres.
Giant white clouds began to churn beneath their feet. The entire divine temple rapidly rose and formed a mountain peak.
Roy, situated in the middle of the mountain peak, now had a throne formed of white clouds beneath him, which had appeared at some unknown time.
"Conquer this Cloud Sea! Let's start with the Four Islands today!
I want to combine all the Sky Islands into one massive kingdom. The sky above will be my treasure vault."
As his voice fell.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the entire Kalia Island began to slowly transform and move.
Albert and Torres's mouths hung open.
Facing such miraculous and powerful might.
Albert's faith in Roy deepened.
As for the Gods of the Four Islands, led by Torres, while their eyes widened and their mouths hung open, the last vestiges of their own selfish intentions were extinguished.
