Opening his eyes, Peter Brown gazed deeply and sighed to himself, "I didn't expect comprehending the Rule of Gold would require such a massive amount of slaughter!"

Ever since winning a battle, Peter had been sitting cross-legged here, contemplating the power of rules. However, he was speechless upon realizing that comprehending the Rule of Gold demands far too much Killing Energy, and he currently lacked enough to comprehend the rule.

The Northern Region now lacked significant military engagements, so Peter couldn't possibly gain much Killing Energy from here.

It seems he'll have to fight elsewhere!

After pondering for a while, Peter stepped out of the house.

Divine Sense swept across the area, and Peter nodded quietly. Those who underwent genetic transformation were capable individuals; entrusting the entire army to them had proven quite effective.

After receiving reports about the military situation, Peter inquired about matters at Flynn Kingston's Residence in King's City.

Upon hearing everything was well at home, Peter mulled over his actions.

In truth, at this point, Peter didn't care about a mortal emperor's status; if he wanted it, he could easily obtain it.

Comprehending the power of rules is what's crucial!

"Assemble the army!"

Peter, upon receiving the Imperial Edict demanding he lead the army to King's City, began organizing his forces immediately.

As Peter led the army toward King's City, various powers discovered his presence.

None of the princes expected such an occurrence; when thinking about how the Northern Region had been pacified by someone once considered insignificant, everyone felt astonishment.

How is this possible?

Each prince nervously convened meetings to discuss the matter.

The Second Imperial Prince was now the most powerful among his subordinates; swiftly consolidating his power, those who had defected to other princes surprisingly returned to his fold, and he now commanded a million troops.

Upon hearing about Peter's situation, the Second Imperial Prince showed a sudden glint of killing intent in his eyes. After deliberating for a while, they concluded Peter's ability to defeat the Foreign Tribe was merely due to him personally; all it would take was assassinating Peter to resolve it.

Thus, the Second Imperial Prince dispatched his most formidable assassin as a subordinate, planning to eliminate Peter through covert means.

This assassin, Nicholas Night-Lone, did not anticipate Peter being a unique character as he headed straight to Peter's location.

Nicholas Night-Lone never expected that, even with his utmost stealth techniques reaching Flynn Kingston's Residence, he was immediately discovered by Peter.

With Peter's methods, capturing such an individual posed no trouble, and before much fighting took place, Nicholas Night-Lone was already apprehended by Peter.

Second Imperial Prince?

Upon understanding the Second Imperial Prince's tactics, Peter considered it for a moment and immediately deployed a ten-thousand-strong army.

Peter understood clearly, if his entire troops advanced, they might quickly subdue the opponent; if so, there would be less Killing Energy for him. Letting ten thousand face one hundred thousand would result in fierce battles, making the opponent less inclined to surrender, allowing his subordinates to kill more.

Sometimes Peter was speechless about relying on such means to comprehend the Rule of Gold's power.

In any case, it's all the Phantom Realm, so it doesn't matter!

After thinking it through, Peter decided not to dwell on it; he now had a more profound understanding of his location, this Phantom Realm; even after killing many, it wouldn't matter, nor would there be karma involved.

Once the ten-thousand soldiers were dispatched, Peter further divided his troops, targeting each prince's power, deploying ten thousand soldiers in each direction.

The Genetic Soldiers were absolutely obedient, with none opposing Peter's decision; naturally, this approach drew no attention within the military.

Currently, Peter actually commanded an army of 2 million; after dispatching troops to various factions, Peter's force of 500,000 troops reached King's City.

As Peter arrived, King's City settled into tranquility.

"You've worked hard, Peter!"

The New Emperor personally came to welcome Peter's arrival.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

This empire didn't have a kneeling ceremony, so Peter gave only a cupped-hand salute.

"No need for formality, haha."

The New Emperor was genuinely in good spirits; upon seeing Peter's arrival, he gained considerable confidence.

"Your Majesty, I've led an army of 2 million; one million has been dispatched to each prince's domain for conquest, while another million stands outside the city, including 500,000 which I request Your Majesty to send someone to receive."

"What?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, not expecting Peter to offer the imperial court 500,000 elite soldiers upon arrival.

What's this all about?

The New Emperor felt excited; acquiring 500,000 troops would be a trump card for him, boosting his confidence.

However, how could Peter so readily hand over his troops?

Looking at Peter, the New Emperor asked, "What do you mean, Peter?"

"Your Majesty, the empire's army belongs entirely to Your Majesty; if I didn't need forces for rebellion suppression, all troops would be yours to command."

"Good, good, Peter is a loyal person!"

Confirming Peter genuinely wanted to hand over the troops, the New Emperor became spirited, his eyes gleaming brightly.

Peter merely smiled; those Genetic Soldiers had been modified by him, all loyal to him. It wouldn't matter who led them; with a single command, they would return to him.

Scanning the faces, Peter felt equally pleased; with these 500,000 troops joining the Imperial Guard, they would become his army.

Regardless, no matter where these soldiers went, their Killing Energy would flow into him. Now, his goal was letting them further join the Imperial Guard; given their strength, naturally, they would all become commanders of an army, thus, the soldiers' Killing Energy would also flow into him, speeding his insight.

Currently, the New Emperor trusted Peter, naturally providing all high-level treatment to Peter.

At this moment, Peter had no intention of conflict with the New Emperor; after all, he needed the noble title that only the New Emperor could grant him, with one rank short of completing the task.
