The Aberrant woman scoffed coldly, "A pathetic man who can’t even defend himself. You’d better start thinking about how you’re gonna get out of here alive."
Kakarotto smiled in response, "So you want to kill me?"
"Hahaha, the real problem is deciding how you’re gonna die," the Chromaraic woman mocked.
Bruno huffed, stepping forward and then giving his final warning: "I am the King of this empire. I won’t show mercy. If you don’t want to bow down, you’re free to leave. But if you stay, you’ll have to kneel or die. Anyone who attacks me, I’ll kill in the worst way possible."
Almost everyone from the six clans laughed together; that idiot seemed to realize he was completely defenseless. Now he was trying to threaten them in desperation?
The six women drew their weapons, and the young members of their clans did the same in response. The Alv woman spoke coldly, "I wanted to teach that fool a lesson, but I think I’ll let you do it for us. It’s decided, right?"
The Aberrant nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll give my sisters a chance to relieve some of their frustration too. Each one will cut off an arm or a leg, and the last one can cut the most important part and watch him scream like a pig. We’re all gonna have some fun."
They smiled excitedly, knowing this would be a unique event. Killing a king in such a flashy way would make them remembered forever in history.
"Enough with the nonsense. All of you gather so I can save some time," Kakarotto waved indifferently.
"Fool!" The expression on the Aberrant woman, who looked like a centaur, turned serious and sharp.
She pulled out a long spear, wearing a light smile. Without delay, she sprinted toward the staircase and, upon reaching the first step, jumped toward the throne at the top.
Like an arrow, she sliced through the air rapidly toward Kakarotto. He faced her with a smile, then lazily said, "Disappear."
Suddenly, the seven laws bathing the planet from the cosmos moved. Seven powers twisted and united at the speed of light, forming a ten-meter tall multicolored blade in the sky. It immediately cut down toward the woman.
*Boom!*
The Aberrant spun her body, launching herself backward with the speed granted by the Law of Ellightning, similar to the Law of Lightning. By reflex, she managed to dodge the blade that exploded on the ground.
Everyone’s eyes widened. The attack didn’t seem to come directly from Kakarotto, but it was as if the laws of the world had moved to protect him, not allowing anyone to insult him. The shock was so intense that everyone staggered backward.
The Aberrant fell to the ground, pale. They all saw the laws disappear after the impact on the earth, but when they looked at Kakarotto... a sinister smile appeared on his face, making everyone’s hearts race uncontrollably with fear.
"A fast rat. Let’s see you escape now..." he said, waving.
The skies darkened...
Then everyone saw one... ten... a hundred... three hundred multicolored blades forming in the sky.
"Break together!"
The Aberrant woman roared, and all the members of her clan joined her... or almost all; half a dozen Aberrants stayed where they were. Then they stepped back, not wanting to be part of this.
The blades in the sky formed a terrifying spectacle. That ridiculous king, in one second, with just a wave, reversed the sky and the earth. A primitive fear invaded everyone. But there was no time to be scared.
As soon as the woman gave the command, a dozen blades fell toward them from all directions. They attacked with maximum force, trying to block.
*Boom!*
Sparks flew, the skies crashed down, and the earth shook. The smell of blood quickly filled the air, and hundreds of the weaker young Aberrants exploded. Only the Aberrant woman and a third of her clan survived.
But... a sinister laugh echoed.
They looked up and realized that this didn’t even represent 10% of the blades in the sky. Over 200 of them still hovered, aimed directly at them. There was nowhere to run, and the owner of the laugh was having fun toying with them.
"Die!" Suddenly, the space behind Kakarotto distorted, and the Alv, along with the other four women, attacked directly from behind.
Kakarotto didn’t even turn. He just waved, "I already gave you a chance to make a move. If that’s all you had, it was very boring. Die."
Suddenly, new blades appeared behind the five women. Meanwhile, those in the sky fell directly onto those on the ground.
A small portion of the young from the five clans tried to do something. Another small group just backed away, staying next to the Aberrants who had stepped back. They stared at Kakarotto on the throne as if they were looking at a deity. They hadn’t backed away earlier because they were in shock from what they were feeling.
"Damn it!" But most of the young people, feeling death closing in, turned around and tried to escape.
*Rumble!*
"No!" But it was too late to dodge or run away.
Before they could react, the blades pierced through the five women. They spun in the air before getting stuck in the stone steps below, blood spraying everywhere.
Meanwhile, the young clan members on the ground were turned into a bloody mist. Only the Aberrant woman didn’t explode. Not because she managed to defend herself. All six could’ve met the same fate, but the blade shrank in size and only impaled them into the ground. Clearly, Kakarotto wasn’t gonna let them die that easily.
"Ah!" They screamed in pain, spitting blood. Their bodies crumpled, and blood stained the ground. All six were subdued at the same time, with the blood of the five flowing down the stairs.
Those from the Shadowveil Clan who hadn’t moved since the beginning, along with a dozen young people from each of the other six clans, stood a bit back, watching the scene with bated breath.
They were shocked to see and hear what was happening. These were, without a doubt, the greatest geniuses of the younger generation, yet they were defeated in an instant. The atmosphere turned silent.
"How boring." Kakarotto covered his mouth and yawned, looking totally bored.
*Buzz*
Slowly, new multicolored blades began to appear in the sky. Their numbers multiplied quickly, soon hitting three hundred again.
Everyone watched the blades sprout rapidly. They just kept increasing and multiplying, leaving everyone in shock. When they surpassed a thousand, they finally stopped. Was this just a game for him? everyone thought.
"What, what are you doing?!" Someone from the Shadowveil Clan shouted, fearing for their life.
He yawned again: "Tell me, what does a lawless, perverted tyrant do? Whatever he wants, like massacring people. And now I’m in the mood to kill, so…"
He waved his hand, and the ground where the women were trapped began to shake, lifting them up on a pillar that raised them high. Kakarotto glanced over to his side, where Ruri was; she waved back in response.
Her eyes sparkled. Suddenly, all the spatial laws separating this secret place from the rest of the planet froze. Ruri’s body shone, and her true form appeared: a tiny violet Immortal Lotus just a few centimeters tall.
It floated and spun, radiating sacred power. It approached Kakarotto, who extended his hand and held the delicate, magical lotus in his palm.
Kakarotto spoke slowly: "The show’s over, break everything." The lotus pulsed in response.
*BOOOM!*
The entire horizon was covered in cracks, and the sharp sound of shattering glass echoed deafeningly.
It took five seconds for everything to disappear. The extremely high-level spatial power was completely dominated and removed. All the young people stood wide-eyed, then felt the presence of several powerful cultivators all around, coming from every direction.
It was the six sects that had surrounded the place. The region, now without the spatial laws, seemed smaller. All those distant cultivators panicked and then rushed toward them, feeling the source of it all.
Until screams made them stop. When they turned around, they saw six pillars of earth rising high, where the six young women from their clans were trapped.
"No, don’t be crazy!" A booming voice from an old Fiendgod echoed like thunder. No one knew where the voice came from; he was hidden, but his power and fury could be felt.
"The whole world hates you now! No race will support you; you’re alone! If you keep this up, you’ll die without even a burial!"
"And what if I refuse?" Kakarotto’s voice resonated calmly.
"You’ll be opposing the entire empire!" the old voice threatened.
"How fun! Excellent!" Kakarotto said excitedly, waving.
"Nooooo!"
"AAH!"
*Pluff!*
But it was too late. Everyone watched as the six women high above exploded, blood spraying everywhere.
"The whole empire?" Kakarotto’s voice rang out with a dark laugh. "I alone am enough to massacre everyone. As for those who don’t obey? I’ll kill until they give up."
Everyone was stunned. A king needed the support of powerful races and clans; even King Vulke had the eight clans backing him, even with his tyrannical tendencies. But now, Kakarotto declared war on everyone and humiliated them mercilessly. He had left no way out.
No one was stupid; everyone knew exactly what those young women planned to do with Kakarotto. He could never live, and his death would be savored slowly by them. Even though he had killed them in a humiliating way, it was nothing compared to what the people from those clans did to others who were weaker. He even felt pity for ending it quickly.
"YOU WON’T HAVE A GOOD DEATH!" Screams of hatred echoed from all six clans, and almost everyone drew their weapons, charging forward.
But... against all expectations. Despite the immense hatred from nearly all the clans, just like the young ones who didn’t attack, some cultivators from the six clans had bright eyes and stayed put.
Kakarotto’s relentless style shattered the negative perception they had of him; now, seeing him and hearing his voice, they felt a deep and inexplicable connection, as if they had been waiting for this their whole lives.
"Got something to say? Well, let’s see if you can escape first," Kakarotto said lightly and waved.
*RUMBLE!*
The thousand multicolored blades moved, slicing in every direction. For those who stood still, the scene looked like it was in slow motion, taking their breath away.
"Ah!" The ground split, and blood and screams rang out in all directions. Everyone who charged at him had to face those blades directly.
A massacre started to unfold, and blood flowed across the ground like a river. Right from the first clash, almost 90% of the opponents died instantly.
Not long ago, everyone had looked down on him, but when Kakarotto showed his fangs, they finally realized the terror of a sleeping beast. When he awoke and opened his bloody jaw, all the others looked like mere ants.
"A while back, some people said that a perverted king like me is despised and abandoned by the people."
Kakarotto’s voice echoed all around, and almost everyone on the planet could hear: "I’m really curious, how does someone win the people’s hearts? How about this: I’ll give all of you a chance. Kneel and worship me as loyal citizens, and maybe I’ll consider being a merciful and benevolent king."
All the powerful cultivators far away on the planet heard that. They looked towards the voice and saw a deathly Yin as thick as dark fog rising to the skies. They exchanged terrified glances, trembling with fear after hearing the dominating declaration.
That was the voice of the King, and the most powerful cultivators instantly recognized that something big was happening.
"That king wasn’t really a piece of trash! The guy was crazy from start to finish!" A stunned voice echoed from a distance. At the same time, all the powerful cultivators began to rush toward the scene.
In a matter of seconds, the most influential sects and clans in the empire mobilized, using expensive spatial inscriptions or quick movement techniques. In just thirty seconds, thousands of cultivator senses observed the situation, but they kept their distance, cautious.
"Ah! Ah..." Soon after, agonizing screams began to resonate.
Those who survived among the six clans realized they had only not died until then because Kakarotto had spared them, waiting to kill them in front of everyone. But now, with a dark smile, he began to execute each of them, one by one.
Many tried to flee, but that only sped up their deaths. It was a one-sided massacre. Even though these clans had the most powerful cultivators, they were no match for Kakarotto’s multicolored blades.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, spreading for miles. The deathly Yin could be felt or seen from anywhere on the planet by the cultivators.
Some onlookers began to tremble in fear at witnessing that carnage, until a figure roared furiously:
"We need to kill this tyrant for the good of the empire!"
The cultivators who were watching turned and saw the movement of a gigantic and intimidating army. At the front was Mamdar, the young emperor who had tried to take the throne during the palace invasion and kill Kakarotto.
Behind him marched the central army, once commanded by the King. They advanced with war cries, wielding their most powerful weapons.
