In My Presence, Victory Is Inevitable-For I Can See the Future!

The atmosphere in the bar suddenly became heavy.

The air seemed to turn into a viscous liquid, and the invisible pressure formed a mountain, pressing down on everyone's shoulders. Zabriel's breathing was heavy, and his eyes swept around warily, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

If these people are really pushed too far, Alvin could be in danger!

Horok alone could hold his own against him, let alone a former "champion"?

And Afkar, despite his advanced age.

It is common knowledge that aging is illogical for Space Marine, and he seriously suspected that the man who had been evenly matched with him just now was simply a former Knight Commander who did not want to expend unnecessary energy.

If things got serious— Zabriel shuddered. This knight commander had a terrifying record of single-handedly breaking through the defenses of a certain Khorne Daemons and personally beheading him!

"Since you don't believe me after all this talk, let's follow the rules of the Dark Angels and the ancient knights."

Alvin tilted his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, "You haven't forgotten Caliban's ancient rules of chivalry, have you?"

"Duel!"

Afkar said in a deep voice.

"That's right, a duel."

Alvin rose calmly and, with impeccable chivalry, made his request to Afkar: "The loser must offer everything to the victor, including his life."

Hahahaha

Upon hearing this, Afkar let out a hearty laugh. If it weren't for Alvin's Psychic Power that had shielded the bar from noise beforehand, the Astra Militarum outside would probably have already noticed something was wrong and broken in.

"What courage!" Turning to Alvin, the former Knight Commander of the Blade Legion, his eyes wide with admiration, Alvin, "A mere Psyker? Back when I was in the Legion, I slaughtered countless of them. Yet you dare challenge me? That courage—I acknowledge you!"

"Finished laughing?"

Alvin said calmly, "You haven't stated your choice yet."

"Do you think you can beat me?"

Afkar stared at him with great interest. How long had it been since he had the chance to duel as a knight since becoming Fallen Angel?

"The conditions are simple: I win, and you all submit, join the Sons of the Forest, and submit to my rule." Alvin paused, then continued, "You win, and I will not only have the Lion King forgive your sins, but I will also set you free and promise a Garden of Nurgle world that will never be disturbed by the Dark Angels, the Lion King, Chaos!"

The offer was so generous that Afkar's breathing quickened, but he quickly became suspicious. "Why should I believe you can do this?"

"On what grounds?"

Alvin sneered, and said loudly as if reciting a menu, "Because I am Alvin Valshius, the one who was personally granted power by the Emperor and is the ruler of the Fangzai Merchant Dynasty."

Ultramarines Chapter Calgar, Blood Angels Chapter Master Dante, Primarch Robert Guilliman, Dark Angels Lord Ryan Aljonsen, Raven Guard Lord Corax, Living Saint Winnie Winslet, War Apostle Penny, and the Ultramarines ones.

A permanent honorary member of the Alert Star Council, the Grand Chancellor of the Nomad Port Supreme Council, personally conferred the title of Viscount by the Imperium Ministry of the Interior, and a friend of the Forge World the Styx Eight —is that enough?!

6

The room was completely silent.

Afkar's brain was stunned by this series of titles, including status and peerage, for a full four or five seconds, which felt like an eternity.

Only then did Afkar realize that the human before him was no ordinary person!

Thinking about it more carefully, could an ordinary person be appointed by the Lion King as the First Watcher Knight and Grand Master of the Sons of the Forest Chapter?

That's obviously not going to work.

Okay, I believe you.

Afkar nodded, accepting his duel request, and said calmly, "Since you're human, I won't bully you. Ten seconds—if you're still standing, I'll concede."

"Ha, who do you think you are?"

Alvin sneered and held up one finger, "Ten seconds. If I can still keep you standing, I'll admit defeat!"

"Psychic Power?" Afkar said calmly, "It doesn't matter, use it as you please."

"Who said we need to rely on Psychic Power?" Alvin scoffed. "We don't need Psychic Power to deal with you."

Afkar laughed in exasperation, "Fine, fine, if you can defeat me in ten seconds, I'll immediately lead all the Fallen Angel here to submit to you and acknowledge your status!"

At this moment, Zabriel covered his face and sighed.

Horok, now in high spirits thanks to Alvin's promise and his confidence in Afkar, patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, the Knight Commander won't hurt this kid, at most he'll teach him a lesson, hahaha—"

However, Zabriel shook his head, a strange look on his face, and said, "You're wrong. I'm not worried about this kid, but... the Knight Commander."

They didn't know anything about this kid.

But Zabriel knew very well how much extra training the Lion King had given this kid!

Little Lion King is his current title!

This means that, apart from the Lion King himself, Alvin has already gained the approval of all the fallen angels who have submitted to him in terms of strength!

Especially his almost perverse "precognition"!

The two stood separately in the bar. Among the onlookers, apart from Zabriel, the Fallen Angel duo simply did not believe that a mere human could defeat their Knight Commander in ten seconds!

Afkar gripped his dagger, stomped his foot hard, and the fragile wooden ground immediately cracked, emitting a groan of devastation. His massive figure, like a cannonball, dragged the explosive wind along with it, and charged straight at Alvin from the front!

Although he claimed to look down on Psyker, Afkar showed no carelessness in actual combat, and even used his full strength from the very beginning.

Lion needs to exert its full strength to catch a rabbit.

Such a thing as capsizing in a ditch would never happen to a true interstellar warrior.

The dagger sliced through the air with a piercing whistle!

Afkar truly lived up to his title as the Knight Blade Legion; despite his aging body, his movements remained agile and swift.

As fierce as ever.

No matter how fast Ko- Afkar moves, he can't outrun Alvin's "foresight."

He had anticipated Afkar's hundreds of possible countermeasures, including how to evade and how to attack.

Under the Lion King's almost fanatical training, Alvin also mastered this strange ability.

His precognitive abilities do not belong to Psychic Power.

But it is something more similar to the forest where the Lion King awakened and the flock of crows summoned by the Raven King.

Among these foreseen outcomes, Alvin can choose one and transform it from a vague, seemingly parallel "future" into the reality that is happening now!

When!

The sword's edge deflected the dagger.

Before Afkar could react, he felt a chill on his neck. Looking down, he saw a sword against his neck, and the one holding the sword was Alvin.

"You've lost, Afkar."

Alvin said calmly, "Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."

What happened?!

Even those watching, including Afkar, couldn't see clearly what had happened in that brief moment!

Their invincible Knight Commander Afkar was defeated by this human in a single move?!

"What did you do?"

Afkar was stunned, his mind went blank. He hadn't even seen what happened before his dagger was parried.

Then a sword was placed against his neck.

Alvin's pupils were deep, a faint golden light flowing within them, like a deity holding high in the clouds. His voice, like an ethereal breeze, resonated in the hearts of everyone present. "Before me, who possesses the ability of 'foresight,' victory is inevitable."

But there was one more thing he didn't say:

Sorry, I'm a cheater!
