Arthur didn't stop at this. The next moment he snapped his fingers and then many portals appeared.
However nothing came out of them. He only asked Gege to prepare them as a deterrion move towards those leaders.
As he expected, the moment he summoned them their faces changed. "So you know what these portals can do, right?" Arthur sneered before folding his arms, "now, which path will you select?"
Arthur's words looked light, but they never felt that way. Every single leader here knew exactly what Arthur was able to do.
Rumors spread all over the realm already about a blue scaled dragon flying all over the world. Legends spoke about his unique way of fighting, and his deadly portals that followed him any place he went to.
However despite doing that, Arthur could tell that some weren't in favor of surrendering to him.
The look over the old man, one of the three leaders, was obvious. He wanted blood. Arthur didn't mind that, but he hoped to gain this grand settlement without the need to shed any blood.
"What guarantee that what you said is true?" the aggressive lady suddenly asked in a questioning manner.
"What do you mean by that?" Arthur didn't follow her words and asked for an explanation. From her tone and face he could tell she was a war lover, but she wasn't truly hostile towards him.
Not like that old man at least.
"You said you destroyed the central base of us, what proof do you have to support that?"
"Don't you have a way to communicate with them?" Arthur didn't try hard to explain himself here and instead he chose to ask her back.
"All communications are down," the young leader said but the old man instantly added:
"But this is common here. After all, and thanks to your deeds, the entire energy of our world is in turmoil. We have experienced such blackouts for so long already."
"Really?" Arthur's smile emitted evil intent towards that old man before he snapped his fingers again.
And all of sudden the entire world dimmed by the appearance of such a terrifying figure.
The immortal stood erect by Arthur's side with his gigantic physique. His body wasn't the problem, but the massive and very brutal waves of energy emitted from his body.
No matter who or where, anyone who saw him would instantly feel terrified and had shaky legs. Arthur kept his evil smile on his face, adding a fine touch to such a horrifying scene.
"Do you think I can't crush those ants with my power?" Arthur calmly said as if he was stating facts, "and do you think I can't crush your base now?"
The terrifying immortal standing by his side in clear obedience added infinite weight to his words. The three leaders, the group of hundred leaders, the mages, and even the normal people living here all felt cold shivers down their spines.
"D… D… Don't fall f… f… for this… H… H… He is f… f… fooling around…" the old man stuttered and struggled to even say a single sentence in one breath and yet he couldn't.
That made Arthur laugh instantly over this funny dude.
"Do you want me to kill you now?" Arthur shrugged before pointing towards that old man as he added, "if anyone wants to die with him then fine, stay by his side and watch. As for others, please move a mile away for now."
Arthur's words caused that old man's eyes to pop up in his face. His face turned black before becoming pale as he felt death gazing up at him when that immortal fixed his gaze on him.
"Roar!" the immortal roared and Arthur didn't need to ask him about what he meant.
"Just kill him alone, leave the rest for now," Arthur casually said before turning his back and starting to fly away.
"Wait… please wait… I surrender, I surrender to the mighty emperor!" the old man tried to buy his way out of here with mere words.
However Arthur didn't stop his movement and didn't say anything to stop the immortal.
"Boom!"
The next instant the immortal slammed his fists over the shield. This shield looks strong, but it couldn't be compared with the shields Arthur faced so far.
The shields Arthur destroyed before were all supported with dark energy of those high realmers. But now, and against such a shield protected by the weak mages of this world, the immortal didn't find it hard to crack it with a single blow.
"Boom!"
And the next moment another terrifying attack landed over the head of that scared leader. Without any surprise, that leader was turned into a pulp of blood before vanishing from this world for good.
Arthur might have considered his surrender before now. Right now Arthur had a terrifying weapon under the name of his immortals. His army was so diverse that it made him not lacking compared to the big armies of those higher realmers.
However he lacked normal soldiers, mages who would make fine cannon fodder to his elites. He didn't want to take on such a troublemaker.
That old man had it all written all over his face, he intended to betray him the next moment Arthur moved away from here.
So killing him in such a way, in front of everyone here, would send a clear message to all.
"I don't tolerate shaky hearts," Arthur turned to face everyone before ruthlessly adding, "if you are with me, then you can't have any winds in your hearts. Whoever will have such a disease will be illuminated by me. This is my promise to you."
His words left the world under utter silence and fear. "Now, will you submit or do you prefer to follow the steps of that dead man?"
Arthur's words landed and without any hesitation, everyone bowed and knelt to him. Starting from the leaders up to those living inside the settlement, they all knelt to him.
"We pledge our allegiance to you, mighty dragon," they said in shouts while Arthur couldn't help but smile.
"You will all come to live somewhere else," he said and his words seemed a bit vague to everyone.
However with the appearance of endless portals all over the grand settlement, no one needed to ask anything about what he wanted.
"You and you… stay behind for now," however Arthur decided to stop the remaining two top leaders from going through the portals.
After all, he needed more info about this part of the world. If there were other settlements like this, he would be excited to have them.
If he could, he would swallow the entire world inside his garden and make great use of the time difference and the pure form of energy inside.
