Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

"The result of technology developed with money: SP!" Barron's smile faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness: "A drug that can stimulate human potential, but it is said to have severe side effects, and failure can lead to death."

"Behemoth's superhumans, apart from a small number of those who have joined them, are mostly special products of the SP series. If I remember correctly, the SP series has now reached its 12th generation."

Have you ever heard of the hero Sean?

Zhang Chulan was still processing this information when he heard this and shook his head.

Baron chuckled: "In the Western community of supernatural beings, this person is quite famous! Just like a big star in the eyes of ordinary people."

"He is rumored to be the sole survivor of SP1, the one who started everything, possessing unparalleled power!"

……

Nathan Island, the royal palace, King Nathan's connection with the outside world.

"This is betrayal, a violation of the agreement made by our ancestors and the world! You may come to the island to observe, you may break branches, but you have no right to interfere with the succession of the throne!"

William, the president of the Jade Society, came from the other end: "Our Jade Society did not interfere. It was Behemoth. If you want to protest, you should contact them."

William's unhurried voice continued, "You should have already communicated, but it was ignored, right?"

King Nathan said in a deep voice, "God's people have been prisoners of this world for thousands of years. Can't you let us go? Isn't that enough, Spencer!"

"No offense intended, and I deeply sympathize with your plight, but there's nothing I can do. However, I can offer a small suggestion. The Behemoths are different from you and me; they are essentially a group of merchants. If you make it unprofitable for them, they will naturally give up their actions. So... destroy the Divine Tree!"

King Nathan roared fiercely, "What a joke! Without the divine tree, where will the children of the gods come from!"

“Then there’s nothing we can do, Your Majesty. Do you know that the country that exiled you no longer exists? We are merely the inheritors of that history.”

"Having survived for thousands of years to this day, what more could you possibly want?"

After a long silence, King Nathan said, "Spencer, my father came from the Xia Kingdom. There is a saying in the Xia Kingdom: Heaven cherishes life. Even if you consider our civilization rotten, backward, and ignorant, it should still have the right to live!"

William laughed instead: "Of course I know, I probably know it better than you do. The original meaning of this sentence is not that God is merciful, but that God does not favor anyone. He just keeps letting new things replace the rotten things that have lost their vitality."

"I also have a question: if we hadn't exiled you back then, but instead let you develop freely, how would you view ordinary people?"

"Not to mention the ordinary people you regard as inferior beings, the kingdom is constantly fighting and killing for the throne, and only the strong can gain dignity. Can this kind of ecology really be called civilized? What is the difference between them and wild beasts?"

King Nathan fell completely silent.

William's calm voice drifted out: "In this day and age, if you want to prove that your civilization still has a future, it's simple: go and confront Behemoth!"

……

A military helicopter was parked on the beach at the edge of Nathan Island. A tall, blond man was standing next to a shorter, blond man.

The shorter man asked, "Sean, what's our first step?"

Sean replied, "Little Bug, we need to find the King first! We need to stop him from being assassinated!"

……

“Mr. Ron, thank you for your support of the Nathan Operation. We also believe that your handling of the Nathan issue is very reasonable.”

At the headquarters of Nadutong, Chairman Su and Ron spoke on the phone.

Zhao Fangxu asked, "Is the observation team led by Bo Ren already on its way?"

Although they couldn't confront Behemoth head-on, they couldn't just do nothing either.

The NaDuTong observation team, led by Director Huang Boren, is ready to go and wait for the right opportunity.

……

Not long after Sean and Bug arrived on the island, they ran into an old friend.

"Butcher!"

Sean's voice was icy as he stared coldly at the two men in front of him, one of whom was a notorious violent criminal!

After causing a major incident, he vanished without a trace, only to find himself hiding in Nathan!

"Eh? Do you know each other?"

The butcher said to his companion Ping San, "What a coincidence, Ping San, these are Hero Sean and Little Bug, they're no ordinary guys."

Heiji grinned, his malice radiating out without any attempt to conceal it.

The butcher also looked unfriendly: "I think 'Hanging Upside Down' would be very happy to see you."

"Hanging upside down! He's still alive!"

Sean's brows furrowed deeply.

As one of the original survivors of Project SP, Sean possesses power that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

He understood even more clearly that he was not the only survivor as rumored by the outside world.

The man hanging upside down is a product of the same kind as him, but his potential power is even greater!

Because of his betrayal of Behemoth, he was supposed to have been hunted down and eliminated, but unexpectedly he survived and is hiding on Nathan Island!
……

At the royal palace, King Nathan ended his call with William Spencer, a director of the Emerald Society.

Before long, the Nathan Guards, clad in grey robes, appeared in unison, their silence conveying a determination to fight to the death.

There are nine guards under the king. It is worth mentioning that among these guards, only one person has his head covered by the hood of a gray robe, like a bloodthirsty beast hiding in the shadows.

A fierce aura emanated from him, and the other guards deliberately kept their distance from him.

Among the Nathan Guards, the oldest-looking woman, Joaquinna, scolded, "Besdia, you'd better behave yourself in front of the King."

Besdia gave a gloomy smile and ignored him.

Joaquin and the Nathan guards around him subconsciously frowned.

Upon arriving on the island, this person became the leader of Paradise through force. On Nathan Island, under the Royal Court, there are only two major forces: Paradise and Gathering.

Further investigation revealed an even more terrifying background: he had truly committed countless murders and all sorts of atrocities.

Nathan Island is indeed a paradise for those who are not accepted by the outside world, but even among all the islanders, this Besdia can be called the devil among devils.

However, it can be said that evil people will always be punished by evil people. Half a year ago, he was defeated by the upside-down hanging, who took away the position of leader of the amusement park and ended up in a miserable state, barely escaping with his life.

However, the most incomprehensible thing is that the divine tree actually accepted Besdia's allegiance and became one of the Nathan Guards.

The guards did not doubt the Divine Tree's judgment, but they were all wary of Besdia, especially Wagner, who did not believe in his heart that he would abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

It is possible that they deceived the sacred tree through some means.

Joaquin said coldly, "I will keep an eye on you."

Just as Besdia was about to let out a sneer, a gaze as sharp as a blade choked him in the throat.

Turning his head, he saw a calm-looking man with a samurai sword at his waist, staring at him expressionlessly.

The fierce aura emanating from Besdia seemed to be severed by that gaze, and a heavy feeling settled in his heart.

Mochizuki Satoru, one of the Nine Guardians of Nasen, comes from a prestigious family in the Sakura Kingdom. He came to Nasen to avoid trouble and was chosen by the Divine Tree.

He is extremely powerful! His strength has reached the level of a Sword Master!

In a one-on-one fight, no Nathan Guard is confident of defeating him.

Even the former leader of the paradise, Besdia, was no exception. Even after becoming a guard, Mochizuki Satoru was still one of the people he feared most on Nathan Island.

Besdia fell silent, her eyes subtly observing her surroundings.

Valkyrie, precious metals, divine offspring, Alfonso, the most talented man in history with the potential to become the strongest Guardian...

Apart from that woman named Elena, none of the nine guards of Nathan are weak.

King Nathan sat on his throne, watching the dispute unfold before him, showing no favoritism towards either side; he seemed to be waiting for something.

A short while later, Elijah and Elena suddenly appeared in the palace.

This is a special power granted to the King and Guard by the Divine Tree; as long as they are on Nathan Island, they can teleport at any time.

Elena apologized first, saying she hadn't managed to get support from outside the island.

“It’s alright, Elena, we don’t need to have any more expectations of people outside the island.”

He immediately looked toward Elijah.

Elijah solemnly replied, "We've contacted all the remaining organized forces on the island. The 'Market' in the north—their leader, Great G, has clearly stated he doesn't want to be involved, and I think they've already surrendered to Behemoth. The 'Paradise' in the south…"

A murderous glint flashed in Besdia's eyes.

Elijah continued, “Their leader, Hanged Upside Down, has not yet given a clear answer, but he says he hopes you will come over in person to meet with him alone.”

"Oh?"

King Nathan stepped down from his throne: "It seems necessary to make a trip there."

Among the guards, the precious metal Garcia advised, "Your Majesty, do not forget that the ceremony for the abdication of the throne has already begun. If you leave the palace, you could be assassinated at any moment!"

King Nathan remained calm: "If my death can close Nathan Island again, I will keep you away and wait alone for the challenger who will break the golden branch to arrive. But even if the ceremony ends and the island is closed, it will not stop those people. Just like before, they want the Forest Kingdom to disappear. The change of the throne is just an excuse."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and carefully sensed that the king's power far surpassed that of the guards. If she wished, she could perceive everyone on the island.

"There are indeed many people gathered in the south. Such twisted and powerful vitality. It's definitely worth the trip."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the palace.

……

In the blink of an eye, King Nathan had arrived at the paradise.

The surrounding buildings resembled slums, with houses constructed from stacked shipping containers and asbestos tiles.

She looked up at the sky: "Nice to meet you, upside down."

He was hanging upside down, dressed in a casual suit, with purple hair, and was handsome to the point of being uncanny.

"How can you be sure it's me?" he laughed. "It seems Elijah described me in great detail."

"No need for description, as the leader of the paradise, your vitality is the strongest."

"You can sense it?"

King Nathan said calmly, "I have fulfilled your request. What is your answer?"

"Fight Behemoth with you? Why!" Hanged Man said matter-of-factly, "I want to see chaos. Soon this island will face the greatest chaos yet. Why should I help you?"

King Nathan pointed at him and said, "You want to see chaos the most? Are you sure? Your state is more real than your words. I only sense bewilderment from you."

A cold glint flashed in the upside-down eyes: "Do you understand? I can't even be sure of your identity right now. How important King Nathan is to Nathan Island, and yet you dare to come to see me alone?"

As they spoke, the man appeared like a ghost behind King Nathan, holding a dagger to his neck.

With a slight pressure applied to the blade, red blood flowed out.

"If you were truly a king, what would happen if I cut off your head right now?"

Despite his life being threatened, King Nathan remained unmoved: "Nothing will happen."

Grabbing the upside-down wrists, the two vanished instantly, leaving the amusement park members who were observing from the shadows completely dumbfounded.

……

The scene shifts to a pristine white space, where a withered tree stands silently before you.

Seeing this, even being upside down, one's heartstrings trembled violently.

Without a doubt, the tree in front of us is the root of why Nathan Island is Nathan Island.

The Divine Tree!

King Nathan pointed at the divine tree: "Go, break off a golden branch, then kill me, and you will be the new king. Aren't you curious about being king? You'll understand everything when you become queen."

For a moment, he was at a loss. As one of the two survivors of SP1, his strength was undeniable. He was able to escape Behemoth and seize Besdia's position, and his heart was ruthless as well.

But now, after Nathan King's series of bizarre actions, he's starting to question his existence.

Hanging upside down, he felt a chill run down his spine. He had been preparing to give his old friend Sean a good welcome when he learned that Sean was coming to the island, but he never expected to run into this mess.

He remained unmoved: "I heard that the Golden Branch has already been broken. If you want to die, why come looking for me? Just wait for the assassin to kill you."

King Nathan laughed: "You're wrong. I not only don't want to die, I also want to continue living as King Nathan, but that's under the condition that there are no external enemies invading."

King Nathan's eyes held a clarity that sent chills down one's spine.

This level of insight shouldn't be something someone her age should have.

"Now, surviving as a king is no longer important. It is said that some kings in the past possessed great power, but unfortunately I am not. Apart from the privileges bestowed by the divine tree, I can say that I have no power at all."

"Upside down, you're different. You're very powerful. At a time like this, you're better suited to be king than me!"

Upside down, he felt a mix of emotions. He could tell that Nathan King spoke with sincerity.

"To put it simply, if you die, will those Nathan Guards serve you?"

“They are Nathan’s guards, and they are loyal only to the king.”

"very good!"

Hanging upside down extinguished the complex emotions in her heart: "If I become queen, I will dedicate the sacred tree and this island to Behemoth, and all the things I did before should be forgiven."

He glanced at her upside down and managed to see a hint of anger on her face.

“I became king and gave everything to Behemoth. In that case, all your actions will be meaningless. Ha! I never thought the king was such a fool.”

The anger in King Nathan's eyes suddenly vanished, and the emotional outburst just now gave the upside-down figure an unreal feeling.

King Nathan gave a meaningful smile: "You can give it a try."

A chill ran through him as he hung upside down, and he stopped deliberately provoking King Nathan: "'King,' what exactly is he?" (End of Chapter)
