Dominance of the Forgotten God of War

Dominance of the Forgotten God of War

Alex Verlaine was a walking, talking blood-bag who only existed to donate plasma to his ailing brother-in-law. His selfless love for his wife is repaid by betrayal and his sacrifices mocked and ridiculed by his mother-in-law. But when Alex discovers his wife never loved him and is already in the arms of another man, he casts his veil aside and reveals his true identity as the Legendary Miracle Maker. They treated him like a servant, now he is back to make them kneel like slaves. They called him a penniless loser, only to discover that he was the wealthiest man in Alexandria. "Just who are you really?" Felicia asked in a trembling voice, her face rapidly losing color. Alex looked into her hazel eyes and breathed like a man possessed, "I am the God you will kneel to from tonight, or watch your whole world burn to ash. I am Alexandria's beating heart, and the only one who can save your dying brother." Felicia clasped her hands, falling to her knees in submission. "Please forgive me. I was wrong to insult you. My family needs you. Please give me another chance!" Alex grabbed her face, squeezing her flushed cheeks, and whispered in a husky voice, "Then beg me like you mean it!"

Chapter: 583. Crow’s Judgment
Raymond’s finger tightened on the trigger as his adrenaline shot up at the sight of Fields lying wounded on the floor.“This bastard is obviously lying. We should shoot him right here and end this, Captain!”But Captain Williams wasn’t ready to make a hasty decision.“He’s got a lot to lose if he lies right now. But so do the people of St. Jakob’s if he’s telling the truth.”Captain Williams lowered his gun and then, without warning, smacked Sergeant Nimitz in the face with the butt of his rifle.“Cuff him and bag him away!”As the rebels reclaimed the old city hall and unfurled St. Jakob’s original flag on its terrace, Captain Williams picked up Fields and lugged him over his shoulder while Raymond cuffed and taped Sergeant Nimitz.***Sergeant Nimitz opened his eyes to a growing darkness.His mouth was taped shut, and there was a jute bag covering his head.With both his hands cuffed and tied to a steel chair, he was completely at the mercy of his captors.“Mhmpf!”Captain Williams

Chapter: 582. The Final Charge  
Sergeant Nimitz had just realized how deep a hole he had dug for himself by choosing to oppose the God of War.Calvin’s rebels were one thing, but now that Alexandria’s elite commandos had gotten involved as well, it changed the whole situation.With all his plans falling apart right before his eyes, he knew the only way out of this mess was through the General.“General Varoose is on the line!” the first Lieutenant reported in, handing the satellite radio to Sergeant Nimitz.“I have been receiving too many conflicting reports from St. Jakob’s. What the hell is going on out there?”“We are facing a massive uprising. Calvin Merson has been freed, and he’s rallied the common people to his cause,” Sergeant Nimitz reported in a low voice.“Then deal with the damn rebels! Use your tanks and your snipers and crush the damn rebellion. St. Jakob’s Island belongs to Valheim now. And it will remain that way!”“I am afraid it’s a bit more complicated, General.”“What do you mean by that? Speak t

Chapter: 581. Smoke and Steel
“Fields! Rayson! I need your help!” Captain Williams yelled aloud. “Apply pressure to the wounds and wrap it all in clean gauze!”Calvin was still conscious, but the trauma and the blood loss were starting to take a severe toll on his broken body.Peeling his eyes open, he forced his lips open.“Captain…Leave me be. I…am no good with you. Just please…get my people out of here. I trust…Commander Payne. And as long as he is alive…victory shall be ours.”“You are my responsibility, and I am not letting you die on me, damn it!”Calvin gritted his teeth to suppress the pain as the commandos applied first aid, patching his wounds as best as they could.“He’s stable for now. But we need to get him to a hospital, Captain. I’d suggest a medivac.”“It’s impossible to get a medivac down here. We are 700 miles away from the nearest Alexandrian asset. We need to carry him ourselves and get him to a local hospital.”“Just stop…”Calvin forced the words out of his mouth, fighting through the pain.“

Chapter: 580. Boxed and Cornered
The terrified rebels jumped out of the military trucks and ran for their lives as the mounted turrets laid down heavy suppressing fire.Bullets whizzed overhead, punching holes into the trucks and cutting down the unfortunate few caught in their line of fire.“Don’t stop moving. We’re dead meat if we stay out in the open. Get to solid cover. Double time it!”Captain William’s voice rose above the blistering hail of 50-caliber rounds and the devastating boom of the main cannons.Explosions lit up the streets as the tanks reloaded and pushed forward, launching another volley of HE rounds to blow up the rest of the trucks and bikes.Tossing smoke bombs to cover their escape, Captain Williams and his elite commandos bundled out of the open street, guiding Calvin and his rebels to safety.They finally managed to reach the All-Star shopping mall and force their way in through the locked door.Once inside, Captain Williams gestured to his commandos to escort the rebels upstairs and barricade

Chapter: 579. The St. Jakob’s Revolution
The spark that Calvin had ignited soon turned into a wildfire that spread across the island with untamed ferocity.The same people who had once been too afraid to even look at the Valheim soldiers now fought back with guns and grenades.Sergeant Nimitz thought he had brought the situation under control by imposing a nationwide lockdown, but the curfew did little to stop the armed mobs that marched fearlessly onto the streets.Valheim’s patrolling forces were gunned down in cold blood wherever they were spotted, and then the rebels started targeting the fortified checkpoints with Molotovs and phosphorus grenades.With Captain Kessler out of the equation, there was no one to effectively manage the troops scattered across the island, and the rebels took full advantage of the chaos to corner Valheim’s forces into isolated pockets.The fires of the violent protest burned all night long as cars were set ablaze and Valheim’s forward posts and military quarters were targeted with bombs and gr

Chapter: 578. Operation Midnight Mass
Captain Kessler’s death rattled Valheim’s forces.The chain of command crumbled, plunging the deployed soldiers into disarray, prompting them to retreat to safe points and consolidate.As Sergeant Nimitz received the devastating news, it quickly made him realize Calvin Merson wasn’t working alone.The only logical conclusion that he could draw was that the same men who had rescued Calvin were now coordinating with him to fuel the rebellion.Sergeant Nimitz immediately contacted the secret surveillance agency.“Someone just took out Captain Kessler and his team. They were ambushed outside the Gambit Glass Factory. Find out who we’re dealing with and track them down!”Realizing they were dealing with an unknown armed threat, Sergeant Nimitz decided not to push his luck too hard.Valheim had already taken a beating from Alexandria’s bomber planes and submarines, and any chaos on St. Jakob’s Island was only going to add to their troubles and expose a new line of weakness.He picked up the

Chapter: Choose your fate
“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine

Chapter: Sins of Thy Father
“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha

Chapter: Heroes never win
The enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra.

Chapter: Lovers in Crime
Ezra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out

Chapter: Hour of Judgment
Following the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w

Chapter: Lady of the Swamp
A weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo

Chapter: A delicate friendship
As Zi Han and his friends left the restaurant, Feng Xiao thanked him for the treat and wished him good luck for this upcoming match. “I am confident that you can pull off another magnificent win, but you must find your edge before the match begins,” he advised, before bidding him good night.Once the boys had left, Bridgette and Daisy cosied up to Zi Han again.“It’s already too late. My house is pretty far from here,” Bridgette said, making a puppy face at him. “You wouldn’t mind if we spent the night at your place, would you?”“I…could just drop you off if you—”“I told you he doesn’t consider us as his friends,” Daisy cut in, pulling Bridgette by her arm. “Zi Han still thinks we are trying to take advantage of his kindness.”“I understand.” Bridgette looked away and turned to go. “Wait. It’s nothing like that!” Zi Han called them back. “You can stay the night. I have plenty of extra rooms at my place.”Bridgette smiled faintly, with her back still toward Zi Han. Her act had foole

Chapter: The Oriental Connection
Zi Han read the name again before glancing at the details scribbled under it. Ingrid wasn’t just a smart businesswoman, but a cultivator as well. And shockingly enough, her Sacred Art was also Elemental Manipulation.“Do you know why I asked Bridgette to suggest this restaurant for our celebration?” Feng Xiao asked.Zi Han’s brow furrowed, and his voice turned dead serious as he looked at Feng Xiao. “Why?”Feng Xiao leaned over the table and whispered, “Because your opponent owns Oriental Delights. She uses the restaurant to source rare ingredients required for brewing her most potent potions. It’s an easy way to keep things out of the public eye and conduct business with utmost secrecy.”Zi Han couldn’t believe that Ingrid not only owned a restaurant in Zhuxin but also carried out her secret business deals right under their noses. It was just the perfect front for smuggling rare herbs and spices without causing a stir.All this new information made Zi Han realize that even though the

Chapter: Flipping the script
Lisa’s wild accusation infuriated the manager. He couldn’t believe a mere waitress like her could insult such a high-profile customer.“That's enough! You’re fired! Don’t freaking show your face in this restaurant again!” he shouted, showing her the door.“But I did read them the menu!” Lisa cried out indignantly. “Just listen to her lie. She has been standing here like a mute mannequin for ten minutes now,” Bridgette joined in, taking Zi Han’s side. More than defending her friend, she enjoyed watching the lowly waitress make a fool of herself in front of the manager.Even Yutai and Lefan got in on the game without any invitation.“I don’t think a waitress has been this rude to us before,” Yutai said.“Perhaps she is too lazy to attend tables,” Lefan quipped. “I am surprised more people haven’t complained about her till now.”Seeing all her friends joining the fun, even Daisy got down and dirty.“You should teach your waitress how to behave with customers. She is the most obnoxious an

Chapter: What goes around, comes around
“Why the hell are you staring at Han like you’ve never seen a good-looking guy in your whole life?” Daisy scoffed, giving Lisa the condescending side-eye.Bridgette noticed Lisa’s shell-shocked expression as well. But she couldn’t tell if she was genuinely astounded by Zi Han’s appearance or if it was something else.“Hello!” She snapped her fingers in front of Lisa. “Aren’t you supposed to greet the guests and guide them to their table?”“I think this one is still under training,” Yutai sneered. “We should ask for another waitress who knows basic etiquette.”Lisa quickly came back to her senses and snapped out of her stupor. “I am so sorry. I just thought your friend looked awfully familiar to someone I used to know.”“Who was this friend of yours?” Zi Han asked, stepping forward. “Tell me about this friend. Did he used to work here with you?”At first, Lisa had thought she was just thinking too much, but hearing Zi Han’s voice, she realized it wasn’t a case of mistaken identity. This

Chapter: A dish best served cold
Before the next lecture could start, Zi Han excused himself and walked out of the classroom. Making his way to a quiet corner overlooking the cafeteria, he dialed Chef Roland’s number.“Hello. Who is this?”Since Zi Han had switched to a private number, the chef had no idea who was calling. However, since the name was hidden, he automatically assumed it was someone important.“Hello? Can you hear me?” he repeated. “I am Chef Roland Jenkins from Oriental Delights. How may I help you today?”Zi Han waited a while longer, testing the man’s patience just for fun.“I am going to disconnect if you have nothing to say. It’s the middle of the day. We are awfully busy here, so please—”“Good afternoon, Mr. Roland,” Zi Han spoke at last. “I was hoping to make a reservation at your restaurant. I hear it’s a pretty upscale establishment.”The head chef cleared his throat and put on his best behaviour.“You have heard right, sir. Oriental Delights is among the best fine dining experiences in the ci

Chapter: Campus Heartthrob
The next day, as Zi Han returned to college, the whole campus greeted him with roaring cheers and a loud round of applause. By defeating the cultivator from the School of Lunging Shadows, he had brought honor to the entire college and proved his worth as a martial artist.Even the principal came out to greet him with a friendly smile. “That was some incredible performance. The best I have seen in years,” he said, shaking Zi Han’s hand. “We are honoured to have a cultivator like you study in the Argos College of Commerce. You have already made our hearts swell with pride, but I am confident you are made for even greater things.”“I just did my best,” Zi Han replied politely, showing little emotion.This gesture broadened the principal’s smile, and he patted Zi Han on his shoulder. “I like your confidence. Keep training, and the college promises to support you in every way possible. You can skip your lectures whenever you deem fit, and I will find someone to do your assignments as well.
