"What... what in the world is that!"
Because the events before them were too shocking, the citizens who witnessed everything could only stand there with their jaws agape, at a complete loss.
Even Dalton was stunned in place.
A massive net woven from golden chains, spanning several thousand meters, covered the sky and directly bound the collapsing Drum Mountain.
Many citizens were pinned down by the immense wind pressure, unable to move.
It seemed they were about to be engulfed by the collapsing mountain.
However, a great net brought the collapsing Drum Mountain to a halt.
"What on earth happened!?"
Those who had despaired at the mountain's collapse were all stunned.
Looking at the mountain peak bound by the golden chains, they were so shocked they were speechless, unable to utter a single word.
"Is... is this a miracle? Did God hear my prayers?"
One person, with immense piety, quickly knelt on the ground and prayed to the heavens.
To be able to stop the collapsing Drum Mountain in an instant was equivalent to saving half of Drum Kingdom.
"This is incredible, a dreamlike miracle!!"
Dalton also stared blankly at everything. He had even despaired just moments ago.
How massive was Drum Mountain? Moreover, it was covered in snow. Once it collapsed, the avalanche combined with the landslide would be enough to destroy half of Drum Kingdom.
But now, it was forcibly stopped, saving the entire Drum Kingdom.
"This thing... was it also the work of that man? He's terrifying. Who is he? It's simply a miracle!!"
Yes, it could only be described as a miracle.
That golden man.
In an instant, he destroyed the entire Drum Mountain, and in the next instant, he saved Drum Kingdom! He was terrifying.
If he wished, he could have killed everyone in an instant.
Just as Dalton was thinking this, a golden light shone down from the sky. The golden lightning had already disappeared, replaced by the slowly descending golden ship.
Seeing this, Dalton's pupils shrank violently. He did not dare to look directly at it.
"He's here! That man is here!!"
Dalton didn't even dare to breathe. For the first time in his life, he experienced what it meant to be afraid!
"Do you attribute everything to a vague and ethereal god? Praying so piously will not be accepted!! A god will not bear your lives, but this king will!!"
The Hero-King stood in the void, his voice carrying. Countless citizens looked up and their pupils shrank, as if they were looking at a miracle itself.
"So... so dazzling!!"
The king's majesty was displayed to the fullest.
When the common people saw this, having never witnessed such authority, they couldn't help but speak.
"A... a monarch!!"
They didn't know why they said it, nor could they comprehend what a true monarch was, because in their eyes, Wapol was not a qualified king.
But from the Hero-King, they saw true kingship. Just by sitting there, he was a king!
At that moment, golden chains descended from the sky, sweeping up twenty people and then throwing them onto the snowy ground.
It was the "Doctor 20," who had been kept in the royal palace by Wapol. Now, they had been brought out unharmed by the Hero-King.
"Ah! The 'Doctor 20'..."
"Wait, those chains!! They saved us?"
"Oh my god, is he a god?"
...
Seeing the golden chains, and the golden net that bound the collapsing Drum Mountain, everyone realized what had happened. They all turned their pious gazes towards the Hero-King, and some even began to pray.
At this moment, the Hero-King calmly watched everything, accepting their worship as a matter of course, a smile appearing on his face.
"The comical clown in this king's land has been eliminated. Only the subjects and people of this king shall receive my protection! I am the Hero-King, Gilgamesh! Offer everything you have to this king!!"
The so-called way of the king is for the country and its people to offer everything to the king, and the king, in turn, bears the lives of his subjects and people, leading and guiding them! Even a tyrant, that is the true way of the king.
At this moment, the citizens were in a state of chaos, not knowing what to do.
Just then, one person stood up.
He knew everything and understood that the king before them was the savior of Drum Kingdom, but could also become its destroyer in an instant.
Since he called himself a king, and faced with such overwhelming power, the only path was to submit.
Only by offering everything to the king would the king bear everything.
"I am willing to offer my blood to the king!! It is my honor to become a subject of the king!"
Dalton knelt on the ground, took out a small knife, and cut his palm, then clenched it tightly.
Blood dripped from Dalton's fist onto the snowy ground, blooming like a vibrant flower.
Dalton's action set an example. Soon, a second person knelt, willing to offer everything to become a subject of the Hero-King. Then, a third, a fourth...
Everyone knelt before the Hero-King, praying piously.
Seeing this, the Hero-King smiled.
"Today, this king has decided: a grand celebration throughout the land, for a period of three days!!"
