Chapter 2359
James overheard that the new King wanted to step down from his position.
The country’s leader would become the prime target with the current circumstances. Having no power, he would
quickly meet his demise. The new King did not want to die in vain. He was determined to survive the disaster.
The old King was unwilling to take over again but could not find someone willing to do it in his place.
Seeing James before them, both the new and old King were overjoyed.
The old King stood up and said excitedly, “You came back at just the right time, James. Sol is in dire straits and
needs your guidance. Since you’te here, I declare you Sol’s new King.”
The new King also hurriedly added. “I’ll immediately make arrangements to transfer all authority to you.”
Both of them wanted to push the responsibility onto James.
James did not say anything about how the two were acting. Since he chose to come himself, he was committed to
either live or die with Sol.
James nodded and said, “Alright. It’s not too late, so speed up the procedures. However, I’m not going to use my

With that said, he took out his mask and put it on.
“Y-You’re the-?!”
Both Kings had not expected this.
“You’re the Masked Warrior that broadcasted the death of the Weasel King at Mount Jade?”
James gave a small nod.
After that, he stayed in the Capital and waited for the procedures to be settled.
Drastic situations called for drastic measures.
In less than a day, the handover procedures were swiftly completed. James was now the Emperor of Wyrmstead
and also the King of Sol. He currently held the highest authority in the world.
However, the higher one’s position, the more responsibilities one had to carry.
After the two Kings handed over the country’s affairs to James, they left the Capital.
Many beasts had their eyes on Sol, so it was dangerous to stay in the Capital.
Despite the authority over the country being handed to James, Gloom did not leave along with the previous Kings.
James sat on the soft sofa in the Peace Mansion. Gloom stood aside and gave him his report, “James…I mean, King,
the situation is currently quite grim. The Elephant King has declared that he would launch an attack on Sol’s
Southwest Province in three days.”
“Three days?” James exasperatedly rubbed his temples.
Gloom asked, “What should we do, King?”
James rubbed his chin and said, “Relay the order to deploy our country’s arsenal. Within three days, transport
nuclear bombs to the Southwest Province. This will be the first battle between humans and beasts on Earth. Even if
we must make large sacrifices, we can’t let the Southwest Province fall.”
“Understood.” Gloom nodded.
Then, he quickly arranged to secretly transport various weapons to the Southwest Province.
James took out his phone and called Henry, who was far away in Wrymstead.
“Who’s there?”
Henry’s personal phone rang and he answered the call warily.
“It’s me, the King of Sol,” said James.

James said, “I need your help. Get Delainey to take charge of Wrymstead. You and the Blithe King need to
immediately head to Sol’s Southwest Province. I’ll head over soon. Let’s meet up and discuss the rest there.”
“Alright, understood.” Henry nodded.
James hung up the phone, then got up and left the Capital. He boarded a private plane and headed to the
Southwest Province.
James, Henry, and the Blithe King met in the Southwest Province that night.
James took off his mask inside the military region’s secret room. He said solemnly, “The situation at the moment is
bleak. The Elephant King declared an attack on the Southwest Province. It’s going to happen two days from now.
According to my information, the Elephant King’s strength is equivalent to a Second Stage Mage.”
Henry nodded and said solemnly, “So, I’ve heard.”
The Blithe King asked, “What should we do now?”
James shook his head slightly and said, “The Elephant King is too powerful. There’s no way I can defeat him unless I
reveal myself and use the Sacriligeous Ascension. However, we’re in the age of mass media, and many beasts will
be watching Sol’s Southwest Province closely. If I use the Sacriligeous Ascension, my identity will be exposed, and
it’ll attract Divinity Sect’s attention. If that happens, it’ll be impossible for me to escape.”
