The next day, Wu Yu was still at home waiting for William's reply, but what he received was devastating news.

Just last night, the Emperor of the Versailles Empire was assassinated and died on the spot, leaving no will.

This was very upsetting. Although he didn't know who did it or why they did it, Wu Yu felt like he was being targeted.

This incident disrupted his entire plan and instantly put them in the spotlight.

The imperial palace is not so easy to enter. Important cities like the capital are equipped with protective formations, which are designed to withstand eighth-tier epic attacks.

However, the truth is that the assassin bypassed all the guards of the imperial city as if he were strolling in his own backyard, without triggering the city's protective formation, and left after completing the assassination.

As far as Wu Yu knew, the Outer God Alliance was one of the forces that possessed this ability. They seemed to have the technology to open spatial channels at any location, something they had done at the Royal Magic Academy.

The key point is that the Versailles Empire was unaware of this. In their understanding, it was absolutely impossible for an emperor to be assassinated in the palace.

Now that this has happened, they definitely have to find the culprit.

This involves a logical reasoning process: once all impossibilities are eliminated, the remaining situation, no matter how incredible, must be the truth.

Theoretically, no one can kill people in the palace at will. However, there is an extraordinary person in this place and at this time. That person is Wu Yu.

Since he's called the strongest eighth-tier warrior in history, it's not unreasonable for him to possess abilities that ordinary people don't have.

Following this logic, the people of the Versailles Empire came knocking on our door this morning, taking this lead with them.

"Why do you think that the emperor's assassination is related to me?" Faced with their accusatory attitude, Wu Yu remained calm, after all, he was upright and had nothing to fear.

Aiden was still leading the team this time. Unlike the hostile stares of the soldiers behind him, Aiden didn't immediately label him a criminal. Aiden replied...

"Because Wu Yu, you have the ability to accomplish this. Your mastery of the laws of space is unparalleled. In yesterday's sparring outside the city, you directly ignored the spatial blockade of the city's protective array and used spatial power. We don't know anyone else who possesses this ability besides you."

"I see." Wu Yu nodded casually, appearing nonchalant, but in reality, he was panicking.

Damn it! We've been tricked.

Wu Yu had no idea that the city-protecting formation's coverage extended outside the city. Even if he did know, he still had to do it, because the only skill he could use to deter these eighth-tier epics was [Time-Space Blade - Dimensional Slash].

Outsiders can't possibly know what you're thinking, but they can set traps for you based on your actions.

Theoretically, mortals could not observe the battle between himself and the God of Light in the capital. However, the God of Light was summoned by the Church of Light, and those churches were more or less backed by the Outer Gods Alliance. Therefore, it was not impossible that the Outer Gods Alliance had the means to observe that battle.

Then the rest is simple. All they need to do is demonstrate their spatial power, which ignores the spatial blockade of the city's protective array, to the Versailles Empire. Then they can shift the blame onto them after assassinating the emperor.

Since this operation requires the use of force as a deterrent, it's only a matter of time before it happens.

It seems that half of the blame has already been placed on him.

Wu Yu also realized his predicament through this incident; the Outer God Alliance was already preparing to take action against him.

Thanks to Tofiellis and the survivors of the last church incident, Wu Yu's ability to resolve the disaster in the capital had become widely known. That's why Wu Yu wanted to keep a low profile so that the Outer Gods Alliance would let him go if they saw that he posed no threat. Now it seems that he was too optimistic.

Although Wu Yu couldn't understand why the Outer God Alliance would summon such a dangerous thing as a god to this world, he couldn't deny that he had already ruined one of their plans. Wu Yu was actually mentally prepared for them to come knocking on his door.

It's unclear what the Outer Gods Alliance's purpose is in doing this. Without evidence, the Versailles Empire wouldn't dare touch this disguised eighth-tier epic based solely on suspicion.

Seeing that Wu Yu remained silent for a long time after hearing the reason, Aiden couldn't help but say, "Wu Yu, aren't you going to explain?"

Wu Yu finally came to his senses. Although he didn't know what the Outer God Alliance wanted to do, he was still very clear about how he should deal with it. "I didn't do this, so I don't need to explain. If you have solid evidence, you can arrest me. If not, suspicion is meaningless."

Wu Yu completely disdained to explain anything. He didn't need things like alibis. Although the world he lived in also had laws, it was ultimately a world where power belonged to itself, and the law couldn't restrain an eighth-tier epic.

If Wu Yu were to seriously list his alibi now, he would be putting himself at a disadvantage. For an eighth-tier epic, evidence can be easily forged, and the other party would not be able to spot any flaws.

In fact, if Wu Yu hadn't been treated as an eighth-tier epic, solving the case wouldn't have been so troublesome. With a soul-searching technique, they could have easily found out not only whether he had attempted to assassinate the king yesterday, but also how old he was when he stopped wetting the bed.

Wu Yu knew that the other party wouldn't dare use the soul-searching technique on him. They were probably more interested in asking about his attitude towards the matter and how much he knew about the inside story.
