Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 945 Ryder Baloron

Ryder Baloun!
The Grand Master of the contemporary [Light Abyss] Knights, and also the strongest among the Six Pillars of Knights. To be precise, even outside the Knight System, including other systems such as the Medney Organization, the Inquisition, and the Silent Order, he is still the strongest.

The empire's sharpest sword and strongest shield, the "Blade of Oath," "Baroon from Romana," "Pure Radiance," "First Guard," "Chief Knight"—after a series of events and overcoming incredible challenges time and time again, he finally stood at the pinnacle of the empire.

The fifth ring, the "truth".

—A psychic who has reached the third stage of the [True Spirit]!
Ever since the emperor went to the heavens to fight the "Three Thousand Illuminators" Ming Xianyuan, his opponent has been the number one person in the empire. In terms of administrative power, there may be others who can match him, but in terms of personal martial prowess, he is undoubtedly the number one.

And now, he has come here.

Four distinct auras enveloped the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, creating a tangible pressure and stirring up an extremely powerful storm. In an instant, even the vast sea of ​​flames developed one shocking vortex after another.

The structure of reality seemed unable to withstand the strain, emitting a sickening groan. Electronic devices across hundreds of miles of territory malfunctioned simultaneously, and many people experienced an uncontrollable urge to vomit and felt dizzy.

If we consider the third stage of the [True Spirit] as "preparatory members for the throne of God," then at this very moment, three of them have gathered here.

Three
In this raging storm that ravaged the world, one side stood out as clearly vulnerable: Octavia Zagaya.

Of the six Knight Pillars, four are [True Spirits], with Ryder Baloron being the only one in the third stage and her being the only one in the second stage.

This is a terrifying force no matter where it is, but in this particular situation, for the first time, this terrifying force appears "weak".

"Song Shi".

The sound is like that of a sycamore tree, with a smooth and straight bark, a moist and soft interior, yet extremely resilient.

"We've met before."

Song Shi looked toward the source of the sound, Ryder Baloron.

It was only then that he noticed a problem. His initial impression of the other party was that he was handsome and brave, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the other party's appearance was not particularly outstanding in a physiological sense.

The reason he gives himself this impression is his demeanor.
Song Shi raised an eyebrow.

No, that's not right.

The other person's temperament, aura, and appearance—all these things were integrated into one; they were not any part of Ryder Baloun, but rather they all converged and merged into a single entity called "Ryder Baloun."

I'm confident in my perception; even though I'm not in the best of shape right now, I'm not so badly blind that I can't recognize a person. It's just that the other person was too self-assured and too at ease, which is why I misjudged them.

Having reached this level of "truth," the other party truly deserves the crown of "Chief Knight" of the Empire.

“I remember.” Song Shi nodded. “It’s the capital, right? The highest dueling arena, the Ring of Solanis.”

The battle between himself and Renata Clemens took place in the "Solanis Ring" arena in the imperial capital, which attracted the attention of the entire empire, and even the emperor himself made an appearance.

Now, looking back, I can sense the presence of the person before me among the bystanders, besides the emperor.

"—But let's skip the attempt to build connections."

Song Shi raised his index finger: "The Eastern Continent Republic is ours now. It's not too late to leave with your followers."

"You, who have severed Feng Lian, certainly have the right to say such things."

Ryder Baloo said softly, "But you can't." *Sizzle*

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the sky and earth seemed to flicker for a moment, like two currents colliding during a short circuit, creating a crackling spark.

This was not a conscious action by either party; it was simply a natural movement of psionic energy, a slight collision.

“This is not something that can be negotiated.” Chaklo spoke formally, slowly clenching his fist, his face showing no emotion: “The Eastern Continent Republic is history. The place you are standing on now is the territory of the New Order Federation.”

"Any violation of territorial sovereignty is unforgivable and non-negotiable."

"Territorial sovereignty."

Ryder Baloan shook his head: "I have not received any news from the current government of the Eastern Continent Republic announcing its dissolution. At the same time, I need to remind you that their Grand Marshal 'Lin Yuexiong' is still leading his troops in battle against us."

"From any perspective, the party that is violating our territorial sovereignty is you—the New Order Federation."

"you are wrong."

Chaklok took out a communication device and displayed its screen.

"This is a document jointly signed by the Censorate, Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet, Ministers of the Six Ministries, and the Privy Council, and it has authoritative legal force. They have already voted to declare the dissolution of the Eastern Continent Republic and its immediate incorporation into the New Order Federation."

Song Shi glanced at it sideways.

He did say that not long ago, but it was just talk. Now it has actually become a reality?
More importantly, the Censorate and the Six Ministries—these are truly important administrative institutions of the Eastern Continent Republic! Why did they kneel down so quickly? Even with the death of Feng Lian and the influence of his own fiery wrath that engulfed the entire territory, this was still too fast!
Putting aside everything else, as a system composed of multiple individuals, these administrative agencies would be in turmoil for a while just from their own internal strife.

Even if the New Order Federation were to sweep through the city and crush everything in its path to the capital, it would be impossible for them to gather enough people in such an unfamiliar place in a short time.

Could it be that Chakro fabricated the story?
Song Shi didn't look at the screen, but observed Cha Keluo and got a positive answer: this was not a fake, but a genuine product.

He suddenly realized what was going on.

Someone who is very familiar with the Eastern Continent Republic and knows all the rules and regulations, able to assemble a team and produce this document in a short time—such talent truly exists!

To be precise, it is this group of talented individuals that exists.

The black gloves, kept by various powerful families, will never exist as a paper-based secret agent assassin organization.

——【疏日】!
Ryder Baloo gave a soft "hmm," then his brows relaxed, clearly having figured out what had happened.

If forced to choose which side to surrender to, those special agents and assassins would indeed be more inclined to surrender to the New Order Federation than to the Empire.

"Although it seems that we have the upper hand at the moment, I still have to say it."

Song Shi grasped Chong Shi's hand, and the back of his hand revealed fine, molten gold veins, as if the entire hand was itching to move.

"Let's stop arguing about this. This kind of thing doesn't matter to me, and I guessed it didn't to you either."

"Just start killing, and whoever survives in the end gets to decide."
