"Now this is going to be quite a show. Looks like we don't even need to lift a hand to cause trouble."

Standing on Zhang Chulan's other side, Xiao Zizai also noticed George sitting on the throne.

He still remembered vividly the massive crater George had created that day.

If Behemoth intended to seize the divine tree guarded by Jin Baobao through brute force, he felt they would have quite a hard time.

"Is this guy really that powerful?"

Old Meng still found it difficult to believe that the man up there possessed such strength—that he could withstand Behemoth's current scale of force.

"You'll see for yourself soon enough. If he can't hold on, we can step in later. No rush."

Wang Zhenqiu said with a cheerful grin.

His curiosity was immense. After leaving Biyou Village, he had deliberately investigated George's background, and the results were shockingly monstrous.

At the same time, the other mercenaries hired by the Emerald Society, the masters from the Sin of Seven directory, and the Debt Collectors' elite fighters also realized that the King of Nassen had been replaced.

However, not all of them actually knew George's details.

Before long, as Behemoth's armed forces encircled the royal palace, a luxurious helicopter descended slowly at the palace gates.

This time, Behemoth's general commander, Ron, stepped out from the aircraft.

Hyena, Explosive Man, and other top-tier Behemoth mutants immediately rushed forward, surrounding Ron at the center.

The King of Nassen and the Nassen Guards both possessed teleportation abilities, while Ron was just an ordinary human. If they weren't careful and he got killed, everything would fall apart.

Behemoth maintained two divisions of superhumans.

One operated in the open, led by the hero Sean. The other worked in the shadows, commanded by Hyena and Explosive Man.

Sean's group was mostly recruited through legitimate means. They generally had a sense of justice and knew little about Behemoth's true nature.

Behemoth used them to fight criminals and evil mutant organizations, thereby earning the company a favorable reputation.

Any missions that violated justice or law were kept from them. They were not restrained or forced into the darker aspects of the corporation.

Sean's presence on Nassen Island this time was purely an accident.

In contrast, Hyena and Explosive Man's group was different. Most of them were either former criminals, corporate test subjects, or captives subdued from hostile organizations.

They had no bottom line and were used for missions the company didn't want exposed.

For example, the current invasion of Nassen Island, the seizure of the divine tree, and the slaughter of its people.

If Sean's group were sent, they would never agree to such atrocities. In fact, they might even clash with Behemoth's own men.

But with Hyena and Explosive Man's faction, loyalty was meaningless. To keep them in check, Behemoth implanted micro-bombs in their brains.

That way, the company could control their lives and deaths at will, forcing their compliance.

"New King of Nassen, I know you are powerful. But as you can see, your current situation is hopeless.

Instead of throwing your lives away, why not cooperate with us? I promise both you and your people a prosperous future."

Ron, unlike the foolish Jerrett, did not advance after stepping off the helicopter. He remained within the protective circle of superhumans, raising a loudspeaker as he made his final appeal to George.

George burst into laughter at Ron's words.

"Hopeless? Throw our lives away? With just you worthless trash and your pitiful little toys?"

His voice, amplified by a spell, rang clearly in every ear below.

"How arrogant!"

Except for the few who knew George's true identity, everyone else shared the same thought.

Calling these fearsome killing machines mere "trash" and "toys"? Outrageous.

"In that case, kill him!"

Ron wasted no more words. If persuasion had worked, Jerrett wouldn't have been turned into a pig.

Now, killing the King of Nassen outright and crushing their morale was the surest way to seize the divine tree with minimal cost.

From the skies, hundreds of helicopters unleashed their snipers—eyes surgically enhanced for precision—who silently aimed their rifles at George. At Ron's order, they pulled their triggers.

Hundreds of specially reinforced armor-piercing rounds fired simultaneously. At ranges up to 1,600 meters, these bullets could maintain supersonic velocity, and even beyond that, they could still punch through armored vehicles.

A hundred such rounds striking one target at once could even shred Behemoth's most resilient hero, Diamond Man, into pieces.

Yet, when the bullets closed within a meter of George, they suddenly froze in place.

George casually conjured a steaming cup of green tea, sipping it gently before speaking again in a calm, unsurprised tone:

"I told you, your toys are worthless."

With a soft exhale toward the hovering bullets, they instantly reversed direction, doubling their original speed as they hurtled back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Explosions erupted across the helicopters in the air. Those with sharp eyesight below could clearly see blood spattering against helicopter windows—evidence of sniper heads exploding.

"Report! Report! All snipers are down!"

Ron's earpiece crackled with terrified reports from every pilot.

"Activate Plan C—eradicate everything in the area!"

This new King of Nassen was terrifying indeed. He had not only stopped all the snipers' bullets but sent them back to slaughter every last marksman.

If he wasn't eliminated immediately, once the main battle commenced, killing him would become a nightmare.

And if he managed to escape in the end, the Debt Collectors would gain yet another top-tier powerhouse.

Without hesitation, Ron ordered the armed helicopters to unleash their full arsenal—missiles, rocket launchers, and mounted machine guns—blanketing George and the Nassen Guards behind him.

"Ron, don't forget, they can all teleport."

Hyena frowned, reminding him.

No superhuman in the world could survive such overwhelming firepower.

But if both the King and the Nassen Guards teleported away, no amount of firepower would matter.

Ron only sneered coldly.

"Don't worry. These fools are all single-minded. To protect the palace, they won't retreat."

This information came from Elijah.

According to intelligence, the Nassen Guards were supposed to be scattered across the forests, intercepting enemies and preventing them from approaching the palace, even if it meant fighting to the death.

Behemoth had prepared targeted elimination plans for each one.

But now, unexpectedly, the new King had united them all inside the palace grounds, allowing Behemoth to reach the gates without resistance.

Ron was confident the enemy wouldn't abandon the palace to dodge the attack.

As for Elijah, since she had defected to their side, she certainly wouldn't be as foolish as the other Nassen Guards. She could simply teleport away.

"How can this be!"

But the very next second, Ron nearly jumped in shock.

Every missile, rocket, and bullet had frozen in midair before George once again.
