Joelson slowly looked at the sky, his eyes indifferent.
Originally, Joelson had chosen to release all the people in the underground city, those who might be guilty, without any guilt. This was indeed a great generosity. This generosity actually damaged his dignity as a king.
However, this must be his goal.
From the very beginning, he had never intended to become a king in the underground city!
That's right, from the very beginning, he had never thought about it!
Not to mention a small place like the underground city, it was located at the edge of the Underworld Continent. In the land of extreme ice, it was still under the bottomless abyss. Even if it was placed in the Underworld Continent, it would still be a low-level existence!
A small place like the underground city, even if it was in the Underworld Continent, in the eyes of the real experts, this kind of small place actually had no value to rule.
Perhaps, putting aside the strength of the underground city, it was actually not very bad to simply be a king of pleasure, drinking wine and eating meat every day, and having beautiful women as companions.
For ordinary people, they could eat and drink delicious food every day. In this small underground city, they would become the admiration of tens of thousands of people. Everyone would listen to their king, harem wives and concubines would be in groups. Sleeping with a different woman every night. This might be a very beautiful thing.
However, for the truly powerful people, this was actually the thing that they did not pursue.
As a powerful person, they had to constantly pursue the limits of their strength.
In an ordinary world, in a world where everyone was ordinary, there was nothing wrong with pursuing beauty, wealth, and power.
However, in such a great world, if they didn't choose to continue becoming stronger, then they would be no different from salted fish!
Joelson still had to bring his Dragon God Ranch System and travel through all the planes. He did not even have the qualifications to step into the legendary higher planes!
With such a lofty will, how could Joelson be bound by this low-level world? How could he be blocked by the small amount of money in front of him!
Under such pursuit, Joelson naturally had no interest in the underground city's throne, nor did he want to have any thoughts about the underground city's power struggle.
All of Joelson's previous actions towards the underground city were just to wipe the bottom of the underground city.
After all, it was he, Joelson, who directly killed the strongest king of the underground city. There were many magical beasts eyeing the residents of the underground city from the bottom of the Wailing Abyss, human meat was the most delicious meat in the mouths of magical beasts.
If he killed one of the two strongest kings in the underground city, destroyed the other, and did such a thing before reincarnating and leaving, then the entire underground city would lose the protection of these two powerful kings. Soon, it would become a hunting ground for magical beasts. A buffet paradise for magical beasts!
Such a situation was extremely terrifying. The entire underground city was used as a buffet by the magical beasts to draw money at will, and slaughter at will. Such a result was something that Joelson did not want to see.
At this moment, Joelson, who had already recovered his full strength, could clearly sense that there were several extremely powerful magical beast nests. These magical beasts weren't easy to deal with!
Previously, with the god-level Iron-Blooded King Reynolds and King Leighton overseeing the underground city, the residents of the entire underground city had been able to live in peace. But today, just like what happened earlier, the two great forces of the underground city had all died in battle. This would be a massive catastrophe for the underground city.
As a normal person, although he had experienced the baptism of the Infinite Plane, he didn't become numb to it. He didn't feel that everything was meaningless.
The infinite might didn't make him lose his humanity. Instead, it simply stimulated his desire to challenge the Infinite Plane. He wanted to challenge this endless might... to challenge this world where there would always be strong people!
Therefore, after obtaining the resplendent gemstone, he had to think of a way to support a regime in the underground city. The leader of this regime had to be able to command the entire underground city so that the residents of the underground city would not be directly buried in the tiger's mouth!
That's right. The reason why he wanted to be innocent of those who violated the military laws of the entire underground city was essentially to cause his royal authority to be damaged. He wanted the residents of the underground city to stop praising him as the king.
He wanted those who had thoughts about the throne to stand out and show that he was just a person who did not have any pursuit for the throne, and was unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire underground city!
That's right, Joelson's goal was so simple. He wanted to lure out those who had fantasies about the throne and then let them directly compete for the throne. In this way, Joelson's goal was achieved.
However, the development of the matter exceeded Joelson's expectations.
That's right, just now, Joelson directly declared that all the people who had violated the military law were not guilty. Instead, it directly increased the support rate of the people below for Joelson!
At this moment, the people below were calling out Joelson's name in an overwhelming manner. However, Joelson really did not want their support.
This situation had clearly exceeded his expectations. He had originally wanted to make the entire underground city question his authority and distance himself from the throne, however, the situation now was completely different from what he had expected. This really made him feel helpless.
What was wrong with the people of this underground city? Why were they loving him more and more?
Joelson was speechless for a while.
If an ordinary person encountered such a thing, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams. However, Joelson was different from them. Facing the support of the crowd, Joelson felt helpless.
After all, Joelson did not want to be the king!
At this moment, Joelson sighed helplessly. He could only place all of his last hopes on the two guards, Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen, who were already loyal to him.
The two of them were rather talented people. He hoped that they would be able to live up to his expectations.
Joelson thought indifferently.
Thinking of this, Joelson slowly patted the shoulders of Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen.
"Get up!"
Joelson said slowly. Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen looked at each other and then stood up.
