Hundreds of thousands of people in the City of Chaos witnessed the most shocking and high-profile battle in history.

The Chaotic Roaring City Lord, a top powerhouse of the Seven Clans and a Demon King-level master of Chaos City, battled the mysterious human man, Yudian, a Demon Hunter who had defeated both the Blood Wing King and the Bone General.

The battle between these two superpower entities was beyond the comprehension of the onlookers. Their speed was too fast, and the sound of their attacks was deafening. Many were left dizzy and seeing stars amidst the loud noises, unable to focus on the duel.

The magical barriers repeatedly shattered under the Chaotic Roaring's sun-like fighting spirit, with waves of heat hitting everyone's faces. They were repeatedly raised again by the combined efforts of all mages. If it weren't for the four overlords blocking the sword qi and fighting spirit at the forefront, the entire arena would have crumbled long ago.

In the North District, due to the Bone General's injury and diminished strength, many civilians on the edge who couldn't escape in time were turned to ashes in the explosion. The same happened in the East and West Districts. Only the South District, where Queen Victoria, the strongest with the most powerful mages, was located, had no injuries.

People endured the most terrifying ten minutes of their lives in the trembling and shaking arena, until finally, the ground's trembling came to a halt.

Lying at the bottom of the deep crater of the arena was the Demon Hunter, Yudian.

Floating in mid-air was the Chaotic Roaring City Lord.

Everyone had never seen him so disheveled and miserable. The strongest Demon King's suit was shattered beyond recognition, revealing his charred skin. The Demon King's body, which hadn't been restored for over a decade, was now exposed to everyone. He was covered in blood, his eyes dim and lifeless, and his long tail was broken off in a large chunk. Blood dripped from his mouth, forming strands and droplets on his chest.

Everyone was stunned, finding it odd that the Chaotic Roaring City Lord managed to win in the end.

According to Yudian's plan, he shouldn't have made such a reckless challenge; he should have been sure of victory. Could it be that he underestimated the Chaotic Roaring City Lord's capabilities?

However, people quickly regained their senses, preparing to cheer and celebrate for the victorious Chaotic Roaring City Lord.

Many were worried about retribution from the Chaotic Roaring City Lord and thought of excuses in their hearts.

Especially his guards, who quickly knelt behind the Centaur Captain, Shali, to demonstrate their loyalty. Regardless, the Chaotic Roaring City Lord had won in the end, and people didn't need to see anything else but the victor. Some shrewd individuals were still observing the situation, though the Chaotic Roaring City Lord had defeated Yudian. The attitudes of the four overlords, Victoria, the Blood Wing King, and Count Clark, were yet to be revealed.

Their stance would determine the situation in the City of Chaos. Even a blind man could see that the current Chaotic Roaring City Lord couldn't withstand another challenge.

"Shali, my most loyal guard!" The Chaotic Roaring City Lord spoke, and indeed, his first thought was of the Centaur Captain, Shali.

"Present, Lord City Lord, Captain Shali is always here!" answered the Centaur Captain, crying.

"If only I had listened to your advice before! Shali, you are the most loyal guard, my life's treasure, but sadly I realized it too late. Shali, if I had another chance, I would definitely reform, but it's already too late..." The Chaotic Roaring City Lord coughed up a stream of blood, wracked with pain.

"Whatever your final command is, Lord City Lord, even if it costs me my life, I will fulfill your wish!" Shali's statement shocked everyone once again.

Had the Chaotic Roaring City Lord been defeated?

Yudian, the human man, lay at the bottom of the deep pit, lifeless, while the Chaotic Roaring City Lord hovered above, able to kill him with a simple gesture.

Why did the Centaur Captain, Shali, say that? Were the four overlords betraying the Chaotic Roaring City Lord? The crowd saw that Queen Victoria still wore a smile, the Blood Wing King had a grave expression, Count Clark looked mysterious, and the Bone General, wrapped in the cloak of death, still maintained a loyal demeanor. The four overlords seemed normal, with no signs of betrayal. Why was that?

"Yes, I am going to die, but as a demon king, I cannot die so miserably at the hands of another..." The Chaotic Roaring suddenly burst into laughter, roaring with spirit, "If I am to die, it will be by my own hand!"

"No..." the Centaur Captain, Shali, cried out in tears.

The Chaotic Roaring City Lord extended his demonic claw, deeply piercing his own chest, forcibly extracting his still-beating heart.

Everyone was stunned, unable to comprehend.

"Yudian, I have a son, born from my rape of a fairy, now six years old. The most despised bastard of my life, but now my only son. Can you let him live in this world?" the Chaotic Roaring slowly said, "I want to entrust him to the Centaur Captain, Shali, for upbringing, and also to become your slave. I offer him and the entire City of Chaos to you, can you accept this?"

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"When he grows up, I will give him a chance to challenge me!" A radiance rose from the pit bottom, forming an exotic beast with a dragon head, a slender and long body, agile claws, a tail like a fish, and a serpent-like body – odd yet wondrous.

Yudian rode on its back, floating in front of the Chaotic Roaring City Lord.

At this moment, he appeared godlike to the people.

There were few wounds on his body, just several purple scars, likely from the Demon King's Thunder Axe. But those wounds were visibly healing rapidly, especially with the glowing effect from the dragon-headed beast beneath him, making Yudian appear almost no different from before the battle.

"No, I hope he lives well and doesn't do anything foolish." The Chaotic Roaring City Lord laughed, "I now understand, just being able to live well is the happiest thing. Goodbye, human strongman who defeated me... I have no regrets losing to you!"

"Goodbye!" Yudian nodded, "Your son will live well, I promise in the name of the City Lord of Chaos!"

"Thank you. I am inferior to you, lacking the magnanimity you possess, which doomed me to never become a peak strongman. Goodbye, I may die as the Chaotic Roaring, but I have no regrets for coming to this world. I did not die at the hands of a nobody, but in front of a more powerful hero. Death is my own choice... Even as a fallen demon king, I once shone in the skies of the Seven Clans' land!" The Chaotic Roaring roared for the last time, crushing his heart in his palm, and his body burst into flames of fighting spirit, burning fiercely.

With a fireball falling into the depth of the pit, the Demon King Chaotic Roaring declared his defeat and death.

And in that moment, the City of Chaos gained a new city lord.

The human man, the Demon Hunter, Yudian.

"I pledge my utmost respect to the new city lord. The undead fully support and are forever loyal to the new city lord!" The Bone General, as expected, was the first to come out and declare allegiance. Although it had previously sworn never to coexist with Yudian and had half of its body sliced off by him, its attitude made a 180-degree turn at this moment.

"The strong rule. I have nothing to say, as long as the city lord ensures the dignity of the Blood Wing race, then you are the city lord!" The Blood Wing King also acknowledged the new ruler.

"I am pleased to have a new city lord, and I hope the new city lord will lead us to an even more prosperous and thriving future!" Count Clark performed a noble human gesture and smiled, "To celebrate the new city lord's inauguration, we in the West District would like to offer five of our clan's treasures as gifts, to show our submission."

"I don't have five great treasures, but I will attend meetings whenever the city lord needs me!" Queen Victoria was, of course, an absolute supporter.

Now, what else could people say?

Apart from cheering for the new city lord... Centaur Captain Shali, too, knelt before the new city lord, grateful for sparing the son of Chaotic Roaring.

...

In the Chaos Castle, Queen Victoria sat in her usual South District Overlord's seat, which she rarely occupied.

"Rody, I disagree with your decision," Queen Victoria began softly, "You allowed Chaotic Roaring to choose a heroic suicide, rather than crushing him underfoot. While I don't quite like it, I don't oppose it. But accepting his son, that, I find very problematic. Chaotic Roaring died from complacency and lack of progress. Rody, I don't want you to fall into the same trap, understand?"

"Your Highness, the Ice and Snow Queen, you can see it as a hidden threat, an invisible spur," Rody replied with a smile, "Having the son of Chaotic Roaring, don't you think I will be more vigilant and hardworking?"

"I understand, but you don't need to do this, you might leave behind trouble..." Queen Victoria shook her head slowly.

"I think it's a good idea. Kindness is the root of life," the High Priestess of the Night Moon strongly agreed.

"The High Priestess of the Elves, if it were an elf or fairy left behind, I wouldn't object, understand? I also like children, but what was left is a demon's offspring, a son of a demon king. It grows fast. Chaotic Roaring killed hundreds of his sons, only sparing this illegitimate child. Why? Because it is exceptional enough!" Queen Victoria sighed lightly, "I know, Rody, you don't want to stay long in the land of the Seven Clans, nor in the City of Chaos. You plan to return the city lordship to Chaotic Roaring's son after seizing it, right? But have you thought about me? I chose to support you, not Chaotic Roaring and his son!"

"Your Highness, Ice and Snow Queen, thank you for your support. In return, I offer you something." Rody nodded, "You always wanted to return to the heavens, right? Once I conquer the heavens, you can choose any place there for your Ice and Snow Kingdom. The land of the Seven Clans, the City of Chaos, is not where we belong for long. I promise you, it won't be too long!"

"Right, but Your Highness, please don't claim our original elven lands!" The High Priestess of the Night Moon, naive to politics, spoke her mind.

"Your Highness, perhaps you could listen to this slave's metaphor to ease your mind," Nicholas elegantly bowed and said, "Many people in the world can only fish in the valley at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the high peaks. Some can hunt halfway up the mountain and boast about it. Few brave souls challenge the summit, and even fewer mighty beings stand atop the peak, looking down on all beings. But there is one person, unique in the world. When people think he can only fish in the valley, he sets out for the mid-mountain. When they think he hunts, he climbs the peaks. And when they think he stands proud above all, he surpasses everything, soaring freely in the sky, seeing all the earth has to offer... Your Highness, I believe you also know who this unique person is, so please don't worry about him!"

"Alright, I admit, my worries were a bit redundant!" Queen Victoria said, her mood greatly improved, smiling, "I never expected it! Mary Krig actually had such a good student, I'm a bit jealous!"

"Your Highness, the Ice and Snow Queen, previously you said you'd tell me about my teacher after I seized the city lord position. Now that I've done it, can you tell me where my teachers are?" Rody's interest in the lordship of Chaos City was minimal. He had learned that his beautiful tutor had once challenged Chaotic Roaring but failed due to Chaotic Roaring's immense strength and the help of the three overlords.

Victoria, who helped the beautiful tutor escape, was the only one who knew her whereabouts.

For this reason, he agreed to her condition, publicly defeating Chaotic Roaring and seizing Chaos City in exchange for information. Of course, he also harbored a personal desire for revenge.

"She took her people to the Stone Spirit Island. Due to the Winged Race's crazy attacks, she used ancient magic barriers to seal the entire sky, making it dangerous even for Sword Emperor-level powerhouses to enter or exit. However, the dwarves of Iron Furnace City seem to have an ancient path that goes through the underground labyrinth to the Fairy Island. I haven't personally traveled through those filthy underground channels, so I don't know the exact way," Queen Victoria said with a slight smile, "Maybe you can find something useful in my magic map in the study!"

"Don't go, her eyes are full of 'Kaga Eines'!" the High Priestess of the Night Moon strongly opposed.

"What is Kaga Eines?" Rody was surprised, "We're among friends, why use code? And I don't even understand it!"

"Kaga is the Seven Clans' name for the Goddess of Life, also implying a maiden! Eines means the Goddess of Fertility..." Queen Victoria explained, causing the High Priestess to scream in embarrassment and flee with Metiel. Nicholas and others also excused themselves, leaving Rody and Queen Victoria alone. Queen Victoria stood up elegantly, approached Rody, and smiled, "Kaga Eines, combined, implies a maiden in springtime. She's joking that I'm in love!"

"Your Highness, the Ice and Snow Queen, your beautiful eyes indeed are full of 'Kaga Eines'," Rody observed carefully and affirmed.

"You spared Chaotic Roaring's son, leaving hope in his heart, and also left a little hope for me," Queen Victoria suddenly sat in Rody's arms, encircling his neck with her arms, speaking softly, "If you give me a son, then my heart can truly settle."

"But Your Highness, can't you reproduce on your own?" Rody felt the Ice and Snow Queen's body warming up in his arms.

"I can only give birth to daughters on my own, give me a son!" Queen Victoria gently kissed Rody's cheek, whispering, "Maybe you think I'm heartless, always making conditions, but if you knew how I've supported myself over the years, how my people trust and support me unconditionally, you wouldn't think so. Rody, I need hope, I need you..."

"Doing that, are you sure to have a son?" Rody asked curiously.

"Not necessarily!" Queen Victoria shyly avoided Rody's gaze, hugging his neck, but bravely said, "But we can keep trying until we have a son!"

"So, do we start now?" Rody, seeing her determination, realized he had to give her something in return.

"No, not here, this is Chaotic Roaring's place. Hold me, let's go to my study. We'll start by reading books to understand the process of reproduction!" Queen Victoria blushed, suggesting. Hearing this, Rody laughed, "Going to the study is fine, but we don't need to read books. I can teach you what you don't know, just listen to me!"

"I know a little, though I haven't tried it, I've read a lot, I... I'm just afraid you don't understand..." Queen Victoria said, blushing deeply.

"Then shall we study together?" Rody lifted her up, laughing heartily.
