Chapter 303: Chapter 42: The Ultimate Duelist King, the Queen of Ventecenia, Yugudora

As expected, Her Majesty the Queen of Ventecenia was indeed Ventecenia’s Destiny Hero.

Qin Feng had been pondering what sort of persuasion he would need to win over this queen, who held the real power of a major nation and was accustomed to a life of luxury and comfort. He never expected that she already had intentions of submitting.

The moment he arrived in the Royal Capital, Queen Yugudola immediately announced to all her subjects that she would lead the entire Kingdom of Ventecenia in swearing allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Empire.

Queen Yugudola’s action deeply shocked even the members of the Hafke Alliance who had not yet had a final showdown with her.

They truly hadn’t expected Queen Yugudola to so decisively declare "surrender" and "allegiance" to a Lord Player from another world.

Facing everyone’s astonishment, Yugudola offered her own explanation.

The Kingdom of Ventecenia had never, from beginning to end, had any desire to wage war with other Native Powers. Its citizens much preferred to immerse themselves in the study of mysterious and powerful magic during times of peace and stability.

To achieve such an ideal environment, a powerful monarch capable of ruling over all and keeping everyone in line was necessary, as well as a sufficiently strong nation to support it all.

To put it bluntly,

Yugudola’s principles were completely in line with Amilia’s.

Both young women viewed world peace as their ultimate goal. It was just that the means to achieve that peace, in their eyes, was not the modern societal model of popular sovereignty and equality for all. Instead, it was a simple and direct autocratic rule, where a wise monarch would lead everyone down the correct path.

But Queen Yugudola of Ventecenia knew in her heart that neither she nor her country possessed such strength. She was powerless to subjugate the other Native Powers, let alone suppress the covetous designs of others.

As for the Gulad Empire, Yugudola had long since judged their Flame Emperor, Galukasa, to be a man of ruthless ambition. In his pursuit of power, he was bound to eventually fall into some irredeemable Dark Abyss.

As it turned out,

Queen Yugudola’s judgment was entirely correct.

In order to obtain even greater power, Flame Emperor Galukasa had already thrown in his lot with the Abyssal Faction to which Evil Dragon Jinli belonged. His methods were so ruthless that he went so far as to sacrifice his own country, his people, his Mount, and even his own younger sister.

Such an outcome was proof enough that her decision not to seek fleeting peace and stability by aligning with the Gulad Empire’s faction and becoming its vassal state was an absolutely clear-headed and wise one.

And regarding the Holy Empire, which Qin Feng represented, Queen Yugudola had already conducted thorough investigations and preparations.

She knew well that Qin Feng would treat every subject who submitted to him with kindness and would respect their inherent cultural traditions.

She knew even more clearly that the Holy Empire possessed sufficient strength to not only crush the armies of the Gulad Empire but also to purge the Void Creatures that plagued the world.

It was based on these considerations that she finally made up her mind to declare her submission to the Holy Empire.

Once again, facts proved that her judgment was flawless.

After subjugating the Kingdom of Ventecenia, Qin Feng did not rush to lead the remnants of its army to conquer the Native Powers that had not yet submitted to the Holy Empire.

Instead, he mobilized a large number of villagers and native citizens from all over to fully assist the Kingdom of Ventecenia with its reconstruction efforts.

It seemed that Qin Feng always prioritized the safety and well-being of his own people above expanding his territory and power.

Not only that,

Considering the people of Ventecenia’s extreme fascination with magic,

Qin Feng also specially dispatched some of the Extraordinary Realm Crimson Flame Foxes, as well as a small number of previously cultivated Gale Demon Wolves, to the country. This was to aid their in-depth research into the various types of magic mastered by these nearly extinct Ancient Magical Beasts.

Seeing this, Queen Yugudola completely cast aside all her worries. Without any further hesitation, she directly swore an oath to become a Divine Chosen Hero under Qin Feng, dedicated to protecting all the subjects of the Holy Empire and the Kingdom of Ventecenia.

And Qin Feng, in turn, saw Yugudola’s Panel Attributes, which had completely different combat mechanics from Amilia and Fenrir.

[Heroic Unit: Yugudola (Destiny Hero)]

As long as one of your attacks is capable of killing the target, they will be completely slain by that attack. (This Talent is a Level 1 Power of Authority and can suppress other life-saving Level 1 Powers of Authority).]

[Talent—Guaranteed Victory in Duels: When engaged in a duel with no outside interference, Yugudora enters a Blood Lock State. No conventional attack can kill her. This skill is a Level 2 Power of Authority and requires a Level 2 or higher "Ignore Blood Lock" Power of Authority to be broken.]

[Equipment: Queen’s Magic Cloak—Golden. Heroic Weapon. Possesses the tags "Eternal (Equipment can recover Durability when out of combat after being damaged)" and "Magic Resistance (Increases own Magic Resistance by 80%; this is not damage reduction)."]

Upon activation, it eliminates all Epic Level and below enemies in a certain area in front of you and forces the strongest surviving enemy into a five-minute "Duel Time." During this time, the battle between the two cannot be interfered with by anyone, and all of Yugudola’s dueling Talents will take effect.]

[Master of the Holy Sword Skill—Summon Phoenix: Consumes Magic Power to summon the phoenix residing within the Holy Sword to fight alongside you. If there are no other allies and only one enemy, Yugudola is considered to be in a duel state... The phoenix has Panel Attributes and attack characteristics similar to an Ancient Giant Dragon. All of its basic attacks are large-area AOE and can strike the ground from a height of up to 200 meters (this is still a conventional range, unlike the heaven-defying altitude of Evil Dragon Jinli after its Abyssal Erosion).]

[Master of the Holy Sword Skill—Call of the Magic Wind: Use the Holy Sword to summon a Magic Wind, instantly restoring the full Magic Power of all nearby allied units and subordinate units.]

[Master of the Holy Sword Skill—Phoenix Shelter: A Passive ability that can be used when the phoenix has been summoned with the Holy Sword. When Yugudola is about to die from a fatal attack, the phoenix takes the fatal damage in her place.]

[Power Assessment under the influence of the War Blessing Talent: 1-Star (Gold) Early Stage]

[Description: The ultimate dueling monarch. Even you cannot defeat this woman, who is filled with the Power of Authority, in a one-on-one duel.]

Qin Feng: "Sweet!"

The ultimate dueling monarch!

In a one-on-one duel, her combat ability was absolutely insane!

She had some AOE capabilities, but they were nothing compared to her dueling prowess. Still, she was stronger than most conventional combat units!

Wasn’t she the complete opposite of Amilia, the "Human-shaped Nuclear Bomb"?
