She killed her personal guards, but the Queen of Hearts also possessed the technology to resurrect them.

The world's malice towards them is truly immense.

"What I'm more curious about is you. How did you manage to wield such immense power?" The Queen of Hearts looked at the Shepherd with curiosity.

With a wave of his hand, the power of royalty surged forth.

Under the terrifying power of monarchy, everything will be suppressed, oppressed, and then controlled!

Under the oppressive force, the shepherd felt only hostility all around him.

Even the air seemed to have turned into a deadly poison.

Even a single breath could cost you your life.

This is a trick that Hearts created specifically for shepherds.

Under royal power, everything is under its control.

Especially when combined with the Queen of Hearts' knowledge, she was now like the most 'wise' monarch, wielding the power of the throne to its fullest extent.

The absolute monarchy has many drawbacks, such as the instability of succession.

However, when this autocratic monarch is a wise ruler, the power she can wield is extremely terrifying.

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, the shepherd did not give up any resistance.

Toxins corroded his body, and invisible forces invaded it, yet he constantly fought against them.

The terrifying brute force shattered everything in its path, breaking free of its restraints and charging towards the heart once more.

He threw a punch.

The air in front of you makes a squeaking or creaking sound, like squeezing plastic or crushing glass.

Countless gel-like substances appeared in front of the two of them.

Like frozen ice, it formed the most solid defense.

A fist imprint was left on the air layer of the transparent gel ice.

"How come you're still not dead?" Although the Queen of Hearts had blocked the Shepherd's punch, she also sensed that something was wrong.

Because after the first punch, the shepherd didn't pause at all and threw another punch.

Her poison was capable of completely corroding the shepherd's body.

It's a state where the internal organs and muscles are all corroded and rotten.

In this state, even a puppet would have completely rotted away.

Even if it didn't turn into scum, it shouldn't have this kind of power anymore.

After all, power needs a vessel to be released.

Why does this shepherd seem so unaffected?

"I am a puppet of all people. As long as all living beings still need me, I will not die!!" The shepherd raised his hand and clenched his fist.

With a single punch, the defensive barrier in front of him was completely shattered.

The Queen of Hearts behind him had no chance to resist and was smashed into pieces by his punch.

The Queen of Hearts, resurrected with the help of her personal guards, observes the shepherd with a wary gaze as she resurrects her guards.

This guy is so unreasonable!

Having gained immortality, she still managed to perceive the illusions of the world, and then used the lives of her personal guards to stabilize her own life.

The shepherd, however, managed to avoid death simply by saying that all living beings still needed him. Isn't that a bit shameless?

Most importantly, the Queen of Hearts could not remove the shepherd's witchcraft in the same way she removed the blessing.

However, by observing moral laws, one can determine the effects of the shepherd's magic.

This guy has made contact with most people.

This connection sustains the shepherd's existence, and he too possesses immortality.

As long as the connection remains, the shepherd will not die.

Or rather, the moment the witchcraft was established.

The shepherd is no longer just an individual; he becomes a representative of humanity.

His true self was elevated and integrated to a certain extent with the entire realm of humanity and morality.

Chapter 622 Game Theory

"Since that's the case, then I'll cut off your contact!" With a thought, Red Heart unleashed her royal power to search for those who had established contact with the shepherd.

She has found a way to defeat the shepherd.

Since the shepherd represents humanity, if she controls humanity, she can control the shepherd.

He transformed him from a puppet of the people into his own puppet.

The first step is to control the villagers who have the greatest influence on the shepherd.

That's right, the shepherd's moral foundation wasn't skewed, entirely because he grew up in a small village on the edge of the world.

In such a small village, the relationships between people were entirely moral.

That simple and natural moral concept fostered the shepherd's acceptance of pure and kind people.

That's why he was so proactive in fighting for the happiness of the people.

This is the shepherd's most important link.

Once this is under control, the shepherd's uniqueness will instantly be greatly diminished.

Furthermore, these people were under the jurisdiction of the duchy, and she already had a strong degree of control over them.

However, when the power of the Red Hearts was released, it was discovered that the power began to disperse as soon as it was activated, making it difficult to turn these seemingly ordinary humans into puppets.

"The royal power has too little influence on them!" Red Hearts realized at this moment.

These people, seemingly insignificant on the fringes, never received any favor from the monarchy.

On the contrary, it has always been the monarchy that has exploited them and taken the resources they produce.

Under normal circumstances, the monarchy could control them.

But now, the shepherd's power is flowing back through the connection.

The interference of that kind of witchcraft caused a conflict between her witchcraft and the shepherd's witchcraft, making it difficult to quickly control these people.

Before she could take any further action, the shepherd had already appeared in front of her.

Sensing that the person he was linked to was being interfered with by witchcraft, his power seemed to have increased considerably.

With a few punches, the defense that had held the shepherd back for so long was smashed open.

"You you you!!" Before the Queen of Hearts could finish her sentence, she was smashed to pieces by several punches.

Of course, the shattered body quickly dissipated.

Not far away, behind a puppet, a broken card appeared, and the shepherd charged towards it without stopping.

During this time, he had figured out the Queen of Hearts' abilities.

After she dies, she is able to resurrect around the place where she died.

During this process, her dead body will turn into cards, which can then appear next to any puppet in the vicinity, quickly repair themselves, summon themselves, and complete the resurrection process.

The whole process takes about one second.

In the process of reconstructing her life, she relied on the personal guards within the cards, who had also been transformed into cards.

Without summoning these royal guards, the only chance is to catch up with the Queen of Hearts in that brief second and destroy all her collected royal guard cards.

The shepherd reappeared and reached out to grab the card.

The shepherd felt a powerful force gathering within it the moment he touched it.

The shepherd had no way to break the card that was reviving and then go inside to destroy the guard card inside.

The Queen of Hearts is currently in a situation where killing her is easy, but destroying her is difficult.

The cards she transformed into after her death may seem like just cards, but they are more like a condensation of royal power.

This is the manifestation of a privileged class that these nobles have painstakingly created over the years.

Violence isn't enough to smash it.

The cards were then fully restored, and the Queen of Hearts summoned herself in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, bursts of royal power erupted from it, repelling the shepherd's hand.

The cards changed rapidly, and the Queen of Hearts emerged from them. Her royal power seemed to be challenged, bursting outwards and quickly impacting the shepherd's body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Queen of Hearts pulled out two Royal Guard cards and ordered them to revive, pick up their heads, and continue fighting for her.

This eruption of royal power did not come without a price, but the price was transferred by the Queen of Hearts to her personal guards.

"Guess how many personal guards I have?" The Queen of Hearts launched a psychological offensive.

As she spoke, the Queen of Hearts took out more cards.

Each card gleams with the power of royalty; that connection is undeniable.

The Queen of Hearts currently has at least dozens of personal guards.

In other words, even if the Queen of Hearts doesn't revive her personal guards, it would take dozens of kills to deplete her personal guards.

"Do you think you should exhaust my personal guards first, or should I break through your sorcery and turn your fellow villagers into puppets?!" Red Peach said, staring directly at the shepherd.

“Shepherd, how about this? I will spare your relatives and friends, five, ten, hundreds or thousands, no problem.”

"The destruction of the world will not happen instantly; the dwarves will also open portals during this process."

"I have a spot that can take your friends and family to the Garden World where the little people live."

"In that world, there is no shortage of living resources, and the little people can also learn all kinds of knowledge."

“In many cases, the dwarves only care about the inheritance of knowledge and spirit. Perhaps they also have the opportunity to go to the real world and have a real life through the dwarves’ channels,” the Queen of Hearts said sincerely.

“I don’t need your help, shepherd. You just need to give up the fight.”

"There won't be any problem."

"You don't have to bear the responsibility for destroying the world; all the blame lies with me."

However, the shepherd remained unmoved by the Queen of Hearts' words and simply threw a punch.

The Queen of Hearts' words seem reasonable, but what is the reality?

Non-resistance is tantamount to indifference, and indifference is accompliceship.

He, the shepherd, would never be an accomplice!

With this belief, the shepherd uses his own understanding to further explore more areas of morality.

However, it subsequently received feedback from moral and legal norms.

His humanistic witchcraft has reached its limit at this point.

It's not that the humanitarian field is so weak, but rather that morality and the law can no longer support it.

The clash between royal power and humanity makes the rules of morality and law seem somewhat unstable.

His humanitarian practice was, after all, witchcraft, not orthodox blessing.

If he continues to promote this witchcraft regardless of the consequences, the inherent moral and legal divide will only continue to widen.

At that point, the Queen of Hearts might not even need to lift a finger; the Shepherd's magic might just drive the world to its destruction.

It can only be said that the foundation of morality and law has been crooked, and when moral standards become unclear, the supporting rules are not properly implemented.

The supplementary rules on public morality are acceptable, but the supplementary rules on royal power have completely distorted them.

Current moral and legal systems cannot withstand constant disruption.
