Hearing the First Prince’s words, the hearts of the four examiners, as well as the hearts of the examinees in the Regional Selection, fell, and their expressions turned grim.

While looking at the First Prince in midair, who looked like both a god and a demon, everyone present felt a suffocating feeling. Anxiety, terror, excitement, and even feelings of idolization seeped out. The pressure was so strong that everyone present could not catch their breath.

For the past few years, the First Prince had been oppressing and domineering, and had taken in a variety of geniuses. He had even eradicated quite a number of factions and killed many high ranking officials from the Empire, causing the entire upper echelon of the Empire to be on tenterhooks.

Moreover, the First Prince was the future successor of the Empire. Having spread out his influence across the world, his existence in the empire was second only to the King.

Everyone was very clear on the First Prince’s motives; he wanted to bring all thirty-six sections of the Hell’s Map to the greatest level ever attained.

What level would that be? It would require all thirty-six contractors to be peerless Conferred Knights, who were all at level 29.

What kind of powers would thirty-six second transition Conferred Knights at the pinnacle have? There were only over five thousand Conferred Knight in the whole Empire, and out of them, there would not be more than one hundred of them who would be able to reach level 29.

For the First Prince to wish to take in thirty-six top notch Conferred Knights, it meant he wanted to take in one-third of the top experts in the Empire under him. How could this be possible?

Each level 29 Conferred Knight was supported by a tremendous force, which would be either a faction, group, or political party.

Take for example, the eight Governors of the eight regions. How could they possibly be people whom the First Prince could take in so easily and then have them sign on the Devil’s Note, placing them forever under his control?

Therefore, what the First Prince did instead was collect geniuses who had the potential to attain level 29.

However, even this was difficult. Since the creation of the Ancient Path of Hell, the legendary creator Adam had been the only one who succeeded in this.

Anyone who knew of the First Prince’s motives would be astonished by his great plans.

However, after the initial astonishment, there would be even more overwhelming pressure. It was because if the First Prince really succeeded in this attempt, in the future, there would probably be no room for other forces, groups or factions to survive within the Empire. The world would be controlled solely by the First Prince.

Additionally, along with the First Prince’s appearance and words, everyone felt an overwhelming aura surging forth.

The abilities of each of the thirty-six clones from hell would be tightly connected to each of their contractors. It was just like how the Dark Knight in the sky had the powers of a top notch second transition level 29 Conferred Knight, giving the First Prince’s clone an even stronger aura. Just its appearance alone had already given the others so much pressure that no one could raise their heads.

Its absolute, domineering powers were displayed fully.

Everyone exclaimed in their hearts. If the First Prince were to really cultivate all thirty-six Hell’s Maps, what astonishing powers would he have if all thirty-six clones and his true body were then gathered together?

However, regardless, 99% of the examinees present today probably would not wish to be taken in under the First Prince as a puppet.

Governor Devitt was the first to step out. Looking at the First Prince in midair, he said with an unfriendly expression, “Prince George, with regards to the Royal Supervisory Officer you mentioned, I don’t seem to have heard any news about it.”

“Of course you haven’t.” George Krieg smiled. “It’s because His Majesty finally agreed to my request just three days ago. I’ve been rushing to the various locations where the Regional Selections are being held. The Great Western Region is already my third stop.”
