The battle had reached this point and was essentially at a stalemate.

The next competition will be about who can find the opponent's weakness first and then successfully break through it.

In this respect, the Queen of Hearts has the advantage.

She has found the shepherd's weakness, but she can't control those who are crucial to the shepherd for the time being.

But at that moment, the shepherd was a step behind.

This step involves knowledge.

The shepherd was puzzled. Both were royal powers, so why was it that the Queen of Hearts, who was protected by royal power, was not difficult to kill, but the cards she used for resurrection were so difficult to destroy?

In terms of mysticism, the shepherd is essentially still a novice.

Although he was exceptionally gifted, he touched the realm of humanity with a pure moral heart.

While the overall direction of the strategy was correct, the details fell far short of the Queen of Hearts.

Fortunately, while the shepherd didn't understand, someone else did.

Queen White Peach was at this moment trying her best to pull her sister back.

"It's the proof!" Queen White Peach quickly deduced the problem and then loudly reminded the shepherd.

"Royalty may change, but the monarchy itself will always remain."

"Therefore, royal power can be attached to tokens, but it cannot be completely controlled by one person."

"My sister simply ensures that with each change of royal power, a new version of herself replaces the old one."

"Therefore, the key is to prevent her from smoothly inheriting the throne. As long as there is a problem with the inheritance, her resurrection cycle will be broken!" White Peach is indeed Red Peach's sister.

A genius who has been able to compete with his opponent all the way to where he is today.

Although she wasted some of her talents, she also grasped Red Heart's thinking after Red Heart was resurrected multiple times, and understood the inner logic of her resurrection technique.

"You bitch, you're asking for death!" When Red Peach saw that White Peach had revealed her secrets, the killing intent in her eyes became tangible.

Before Hearts could make any real move, the Shepherd had already breached the protective shield of her royal authority.

Before Red Peach could say anything, she was pulverized once again.

It was at this moment that a cold front suddenly appeared.

Large amounts of ice blocks appeared out of thin air.

The ice blocks encircled the area, and several nearby hero puppets were pushed away during the process.

The eldest princess did not act rashly, but observed from a distance for a long time before seizing an opening.

The Hearts Transfer Card requires another puppet as a medium.

This connection through a medium is not something that can appear out of thin air; it is merely a short-distance flow of energy.

Therefore, as the ice wall rose, the card formed from the Queen of Hearts' corpse fluctuated slightly before the transfer was interrupted.

It can only stay where it is and prepare to repair itself.

This gave the shepherd an opportunity.

He doesn't need to waste time searching and moving; he can start targeting the card right away.

The shepherd immediately grabbed the cards and then considered his chances.

He currently possesses an ability that might be able to counter the card abilities of Hearts.

It was that sorcery he used before, which wasn't actually witchcraft.

He was able to disable it in this way.

However, because his own humanistic realm is also witchcraft, his own witchcraft will gradually become ineffective at that moment.

His body was already riddled with holes, and if the witchcraft were to be disturbed, he would most likely die immediately.

It's not that the shepherd is afraid of death.

Instead, he was wondering if they had really cracked all of the Queen of Hearts's secrets.

What if the Queen of Hearts is resurrected once he dies?

When that time comes, who will stop the other side?

Is this really the best opportunity?

This doubt made the shepherd hesitate.

He placed his hand on the card, and then his powerful brute force was quickly applied to it.

Violence was effective, but it seemed to lack something—something that would truly allow him to tear apart the monarchy.

Although this card is the Queen of Hearts' signature card, it has also been combined with the In the Name of God.

This thing is the 'certificate of royal power' in this world. Even if a shepherd finds this thing, as long as the Queen of Hearts inside has not been revived, he can use this thing to call himself king and can really obtain royal protection.

It can be said that this thing is too closely integrated with morality and law.

It is difficult to break through using conventional methods.

Shepherds can only intervene with minimal effort through humanitarian means.

Without breaking it, the guards inside cannot be killed directly.

Everything has fallen into a vicious cycle.

"Would I waste the opportunity that the eldest princess worked so hard to create?" Many doubts arose in my mind.

It wasn't that the shepherd was indecisive, but rather that he now carried the weight of the entire world on his shoulders.

If you make the wrong choice, the whole world could be destroyed as a result.

With this in mind, the shepherd had to be cautious.

Most importantly, the opportunity that Nemes provided allowed for the development of most people's thinking and cognition.

This opportunity kept telling him that he should keep himself useful, because there might be even better opportunities for him to seize.

"No, I cannot hesitate like this!" The shepherd's hesitation lasted only a moment.

He immediately grasped his problem.

People who are too concerned about the future cannot grasp the present.

"The world is still decades away from destruction."

"Perhaps this opportunity I have now is unique."

"But over the next few decades, there may be other people who inherit my ideas, who can also gain Nemes's approval and thus obtain new opportunities."

"If we don't seize the opportunity to kill the Queen of Hearts now, then there will be no future."

"At this moment, there's no need to cherish your own life!"

With this belief in mind, the shepherd did not hesitate any longer and decisively used the 'magic' of moral negation.

The moment the spell was denied, the monarchy on the Queen of Hearts card was severely disrupted.

The moment this interference occurred, the Queen of Hearts' resurrection progress was also affected.

"Shepherd, you will die too!" A male voice rang out at that moment. The shepherd knew that this was the Queen of Hearts speaking through the body of the guard in the card.

"It doesn't matter!" The shepherd felt his body decaying and rotting, but he didn't care.

The final force tore through the card's defenses.

The shepherd was about to kill the guards who were still fleeing, but he was powerless to do so.

It was at this moment that Charles III, who had remained silent until now, appeared.

Golden eyes appeared beside him, and countless golden rays shot out, instantly killing the guards.

He then reached out and grabbed the broken Queen of Hearts card, sensing the royal power within it, and felt that everything had returned.

Chapter 624 Falling short of success

"Destroy it!" The shepherd's body was decaying bit by bit, like pieces of rotten wood, and with the slightest movement, countless wood chips were falling.

“That thing needs to be destroyed!” the shepherd said again, as more and more sawdust fell from his clothes.

However, Charles III was merely probing the card, trying to determine if it contained any further power.

“The Queen of Hearts inside should be completely dead.” Charles III held the card, rubbing it back and forth, then used his royal authority to examine the information within the card.

"Father?" The eldest princess revealed herself at this moment, her hand already reaching for the card.

However, Charles III had already anticipated this from his daughter, and with a flick of his wrist, he put the card back into his clothes.

"What do you want to do? You are a princess!" Charles III frowned, his expression full of displeasure towards the eldest princess.

"Even if you want to become queen, it will have to be after I die!" The monster of power, at this moment, swiftly splashed venom and spread malice at anything that reached for its power!

"Father, trust the shepherd," the eldest princess pleaded earnestly upon seeing this scene.

Although Charles III was wise on many occasions, and even compromised with the Queen of Hearts in the past, choosing to abdicate his throne.

Furthermore, his affection for the eldest princess was genuine.

But power is a force that can instantly alienate a person.

No matter how wise and powerful a person is, if they cannot control their desire for power, they may grow dragon scales and become an evil dragon.

"You trust a shepherd boy you've only known for a few months, but not your father who raised you from childhood?"

“I’ve already said it, the Queen of Hearts here is completely dead.”

"Next, I will find an opportunity to completely extract the phrase 'in the name of God' from it."

"You can destroy this card if you want later, but for now..."

Charles III looked down at the eldest princess like a tiger perched atop a treasure, eyeing a thief attempting to steal it. His fierce gaze was filled with vigilance, anger, and hatred: "Stay away from my royal authority!"

Faced with such a Charles III, the shepherd simply looked at him, and then a gust of wind blew him away, turning him into wood chips and vanishing completely.

Only the divine gift on his arm fell down.

Charles III stared intently at the arm, fearing that the shepherd might rise from the dead once more, like the Queen of Hearts.

It can be said that ever since the shepherd discovered the magic of humanity, he was the second most wanted killer in Charles III's mind.

In this world, the power of a monarchy is enough to govern the laws and morality of magic.

Faced with her father, who had transformed into a monstrous figure of power, the eldest princess couldn't help but ponder how to forcibly destroy that card.

Judging from the current situation, given Charles III's current state, it would be difficult for even the goddess Nia to persuade him to return, let alone her.

After all, Charles III would certainly have the audacity to disobey the god of Nia and use the greater good to hold her hostage.

In that case, the only option left is to take drastic action.

However, Charles III was not weak, and even without the help of royal power, the eldest princess might not be a match for him.

His blessed golden eyes are a powerful blessing in themselves; with this blessing alone, he is already capable of becoming one of the world's top combatants.

"What should we do?" The eldest princess couldn't help but glance at Queen White Peach, who was not far away.

Queen White Peach simply waited quietly.

She was also unsure whether her sister was really dead.

Logically speaking, guards should be located nearby to be effective.

They had already checked and found that all of the Queen of Hearts' personal guards had been killed before her resurrection, so there was no possibility that any guards had not been discovered.

"But sister, is this really the only way you can revive someone?" Bai Tao wondered.

She wanted to make sure her sister was truly dead before she herself died, in order to track down her sister's whereabouts.

Even death cannot separate them.

It was under these circumstances that the creaking sound began.

Charles III froze, instinctively wanting to do something, but hesitated for a moment.

In that instant, his body began to rapidly transform into cards.

"I knew it; people's lust for power will never stop."
