Chapter 765: Chapter 404 The Will of the Iron Crown_2

But the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect cast a covert glance at Ivita, unable to comprehend what Ivita now meant to her.

She even speculated that perhaps her hastily contrived ritual had finally received a response and caught the attention of the higher gods, and that Ivita was the embodiment of a divine spirit.

After much deliberation, the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect abandoned her intent to act.

The grudges of the past, in truth, were long since obscured, and she prioritized her current predicament over them.

The Iron Crown scoffed condescendingly at her. "Foolish lower being, have you escaped from the Iron Crown? Oh, it seems you’re no longer restrained by the Iron Crown because you’ve severed death itself."

"And offered your lives to the Three-Headed Black Sheep."

"But is escaping from life and death the same as escaping the Iron Crown? No, it is not. The Iron Crown still controls your destiny; indeed, your link with the Iron Crown on the level of fate remains unbroken. Until now, I only need restore time in your vicinity and you will vanish without a trace."

"You’ve been bound by the Iron Crown all along. Pathetic."

The Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect’s pupils widened in stunned realization that this was true.

She had always been under the control of the Iron Crown.

The only time she was free from the control of the Iron Crown was when she sacrificed herself to merge with the Three-Headed Black Sheep.

The girl who embodies the Iron Crown scornfully looked at her. "I won’t kill you. It’s pointless. You’ve exerted yourself to the utmost and yet you still remain within the Iron Crown."

"Besides, you’re now a slave to a candidate for the inheritance. That makes it even less necessary to kill you. Hahaha..."

Ivita asked the ’Iron Crown’, "Why is the binding power of the Iron Crown so strong? Even Ambros’ Thousand-Year Fire, the Seven Seas Law Code and Divine Spring Law of the Black Sea can’t compare."

When the ’Iron Crown’ looked at Ivita, her demeanor transformed into warmth, devoid of any coldness, and was instead extremely gentle. "The Iron Crown is special. To be precise, the Sacred Crown itself is closely linked to the universal laws of the Church and the Empire."

"You might say it is the core part."

"The Holy Empire cannot permanently lose the Iron Crown, so the current Emperor of the Holy Empire cannot afford to miss any opportunity to obtain the Iron Crown."

"It could be said that the deeper meaning of the Iron Crown Law is that within the King’s territory, he is equivalent to the Emperor."

"A King is the head of a nation and even a symbol of the nation’s embodiment, whereas an Emperor is the guardian of all humanity. But the Iron Crown stands for the idea that within a King’s territory, the King himself is the Emperor."

"Therefore, no one can be free from the Iron Crown."

Ivita nodded. "That makes it even more puzzling. If no one can escape the Iron Crown, why can’t you prevent what’s happening now? The inheritance candidates are being slaughtered one by one, and even you’ve been trapped in a crisis of inheritance."

The ’Iron Crown’ said, "The issue lies in two points."

"First, there are outsiders stirring up trouble. I have no means against outsiders. Helpless, I chose to abandon the law and use the walking dead to force the outsiders to leave the Duchy of Lombardy. But obviously, the decision I made then was wrong. They angered me, led me to personally destroy the state."

"It seems they hold a power that is opposed to the law, no, that’s not it, opposed to the universal law."

"The Chaos Abyss that wanted to seize this opportunity for its benefit is also a threat."

"Second, the internal crisis wouldn’t have been too big for me, but the real problem occurred when a person who should have been the owner of the Iron crown in theory betrayed the Iron Crown. He genuinely escaped my control. I don’t know how he did it. It should have something to do with his abandonment of the human form."

The ’Iron Crown’ warned Ivita, "You best not proceed to the Iron Crown Mountain range now. You may once have been in the capital of this country, but now it is just a place of danger."

"You need alliances. The royal who broke free from the Iron Crown and the outsiders are all in the mountains."

"Going now would mean certain death."

"I don’t care what your identity is, as long as you are still human."

The Iron Crown looked deeply at Ivita.

Ivita’s earlier participation in the ceremony of the Sun God Sect’s heretics had indeed startled it. It initially thought Ivita was a trap, but after careful consideration, it ruled out this possibility.

It thought for a moment, as long as Ivita still possesses human traits and can inherit the Iron Crown, it doesn’t matter.

On the contrary, perhaps it could be beneficial for its currently passive situation.

Ivita looked solemnly at the Iron Crown. "I have one more question--you killed the vast majority of the people in this country, don’t you have any... hesitation? Or regret?"

"You said the foreigners ruined this country. But the killer was you. There was no need to go that far."

The Sun God Sect Hierarch looked at Ivita in surprise.

Personally speaking, she couldn’t bring up old resentments and question the Iron Crown when it clearly intended for her, let alone challenge it.

The Sun God Sect Hierarch suddenly stood behind Ivita, laughing at herself.

She just wanted to become like those who control the Iron Crown.

Ivita stared at the girl the Iron Crown had transformed into, who sighed. "It’s not my fault, the Iron Crown is absolutely loyal to its monarch. My current personality is the accumulation of my previous monarch and the previous kings. When I encounter absolute danger, I can only do as they intended. It’s already happened, if you want to change it, then you should get the Iron Crown and change it yourself."

"Remember, Ivita. The goal of those foreigners is not just to destroy the Iron Crown."

"They want to destroy the Universal Law. But defeating them requires your efforts. Perhaps the combined powers of the inheritors in this country are no longer enough to oppose these foreigners."

Miss Cap lay straight down on the desert floor.

Ivita and Knight Robinson looked at each other, and Knight Robinson had an elite ranger check Miss Cap’s body. After the ranger examined her, he said to Ivita and Knight Robinson, "She’s dead."

"This is a corpse."

The sect leader of the Sun God Sect hesitated and said, "In this country, even if someone becomes a corpse, it doesn’t mean they’re safe."

The Hearthstone Witch asked Ivita, "What should we do now? That...Law, told us not to go to the Iron Crown Mountain. What should we do, Your Majesty?"

Ivita thought for a moment. "The Iron Crown is very important, so it’s best to have it in hand."

"Most of what the Iron Crown said is probably true. Even if there are problems, as long as I inherit the Iron Crown, I can perceive them. There is no point in pursuing what the Iron Crown did before. We should quickly restore order and solve the chaotic problem of this country. The identity of those foreigners is also very suspicious, it’s best to reveal their true identity."

"But I fear the enemies in the mountains will be much stronger than we anticipate."

"We need sufficient troops."

"Let’s go to the place where the followers of the Sun God Sect conducted the ceremony earlier, gather them up, form an army from the surviving followers, then find a safe place to spend the night. I want to take the opportunity to digest the Three Sisters Grass, master the powers of the God of the Desert and his army."

"With these two armies, we can be more certain."

The Sun God Sect Hierarch took the opportunity to say to Ivita, "Master, you can go to our Sun God Sect’s base in the desert."

The Hearthstone Witch mocked her, "Can we trust you? Your Majesty, it’s always good to be careful. I’d like her to drink this cup of water I’ve cursed. I couldn’t curse Cap before because she was the embodiment of the Law and wasn’t human."

"But no matter how proficient this person is in magic, they’re still human."
