Ch: 510-518
Chapter 510 Little Monsters and Ultraman
The dark golden interface slowly unfolded like a scroll in Eriyi's eyes.
She looked at the items in the mall.
Her originally lifeless eyes gradually became lively and sparkling.
She watched from Harry Potter to Naruto.
And from God of Death to Aquaman.
She reached out her finger to search for the Shadow of the Aquaman in the mall.
Every item in the mall made her emotions fluctuate slightly.
Tiny bursts of joy accumulated, and she was very happy shopping in the mall, revealing a smile.
If her brother Shuichi Gen were here, he would be horrified.
Because he had never seen the lifeless Eriyi, who was like a doll, show such a smile.
Eriyi's life was a confined World, isolated in a room by dozens of blast-proof doors.
It wasn't that she was so noble that she needed layers of protection.
Rather, she had been a monster since birth, and only by being strictly guarded could others have a basic sense of security.
So her World was as big as one room.
Although this room was very nice.
There was classical Sunken Wood radiating sandalwood scent, wooden floors polished to a gleaming shine, and winding ancient corridors, completely an entire building of an old-era grand family.
Such a large house.
In Tokyo, a metropolis where every inch of land is precious.
Ninety-nine percent of people couldn't afford to live there, even if they sold their flesh and kidneys.
But Eriyi didn't know how good or expensive the place she lived in was.
Because she knew nothing about the real World.
The World she knew was pieced together from various animations and games.
In her Worldview.
On the high seas, pirates and marines fought daily with Devil Fruit abilities.
After they died in battle, their souls would unconsciously wander in the Soul Society.
As for the real World, the five largest secret organizations were the Five Great Ninja Villages like Konoha and Sunagakure.
And in a place called Japan.
There were often even more terrifying giant monsters than her, running out to destroy cities.
And each time, they would be eliminated by the Ultraman who arrived in time.
Eriyi knew she was a monster.
But she wasn't as tall as Golza, nor as strange as Gigera's Flower, nor could she evolve continuously like the Chaos Virus.
So those were big monsters, and she was a small monster.
Brother Shuichi Gen liked to watch Ultraman and would bring her all kinds of DVDs.
But those special effects films, which seemed a bit childish to others.
Were nothing short of realistic horror films to her.
Every time she watched Ultraman, Eriyi would empathize with the monsters killed by Ultraman.
At the moment the monsters were blown to pieces by the light rays.
She also felt fear.
So when Eriyi saw an item called "The Trial of Leijedo Ultraman" in the mall.
Her constantly scrolling finger stopped.
A familiar sense of fear surged into her heart.
Eriyi suddenly found herself weak all over, as if she had already been hit by a light ray skill—
In fact, ever since the System extracted all her Dragon Race bloodline.
She had become an ordinary person.
Compared to her previous state of being able to tear open blast-proof doors with ease, she was certainly weak now.
It was just that Eriyi had been immersed in the mall before and hadn't noticed her changes at all.
It wasn't until she felt fear now that she realized her current powerlessness.
Eriyi slowly, slowly squatted down.
She felt weaker than ever before.
Even when she was tied to the bed with iron hoops and injected with serum to suppress dragon blood.
She had never been this weak.
Eriyi thought, she must have been hit by a light ray from an Ultraman somewhere.
This day was finally coming.
Perhaps it was because she wanted to end the despair quickly.
Eriyi's finger gently tapped on "The Trial of Rejedo."
In fact, it was almost impossible for anyone to buy this item.
Other items could directly grant abilities.
But this was just a trial.
And the price was as high as 1000 points.
No normal person would buy it.
But Eriyi bought it.
She didn't know that this thing actually had to be bought, her points were only 3000, and after buying it, only two-thirds would be left.
The confirmation purchase dialog box popped up.
She just continued to click gently.
When the interface showed "The Trial of Rejedo" purchased successfully.
Eriyi then sat on the ground, hugged her knees, and curled up.
She didn't forget to grab her toys, "Eriyi's DUCK," as well as Rilakkuma and Hello Kitty.
Even the Ultraman and monster figurines that she had originally stuffed into the toy train were gathered in her arms.
These toys were her entire World, and she hoped to take them with her when she died.
So that when she arrived at the Soul Society.
Perhaps she could still see her little toys.
...…
Leon floated high in the air.
He was watching the scene of Lu Mingfei's family, "The Dragon King returns, but is sent by Auntto buy soy sauce," while studying the Dragon Race bloodline collected through the System.
The power of the Dragon Race was actually not strong.
If one only looked at physical strength, even the strongest Black King might not be able to withstand a nuclear explosion.
But these creatures, like lizards with wings, possessed the authority to operate the rules of the World.
The Four Dragon Kings represented Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
The White King represented the spiritual element.
The strongest Black King controlled all authority, and could even restart the World and reverse cause and effect.
In this Dragon Race World, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could sweep through it.
But to restart the World, even Ōtsutsuki Shibai would be a bit lacking.
Leon collected dragon blood, in addition to enriching the gene pool, mainly to study the Dragon Race's ability related to cause and effect.
He was already used to multitasking.
He was just watching Lu Mingfei pull out a Devil Fruit, wanting to show off to Aunt, but was scolded and scurried downstairs to buy soy sauce.
Suddenly, Leon froze.
"Someone actually bought The Trial of Rejedo?"
This item was just casually added to the mall by Leon.
He never thought anyone would buy it.
How precious are points? Trading a C-Rank bloodline only gets 20, B-Rank gets 50, A-Rank gets 100, and S-Rank gets 500 to 3000.
As a result, someone would actually use a thousand points to buy a trial?
Could it be a messenger of Light who once became Light with Tiga outside the TV?
Leon subconsciously thought of Shuichi Gen.
That "tortoise" who wanted to sell sunscreen might indeed do that.
But when he used the "Causal Tracing" he had just learned and turned his head to look.
It wasn't Shuichi Gen, but Uesugi Erii.
"It's her?" Leon was a bit surprised, not expecting it to be this little monster.
After a slight thought, he took out a pendant from his lapel that resembled Rejedo's chest timer.
That was the transformation device he had crafted himself.
He always had a Cosmic level m-body on him, maintaining a state of oneness with himself.
The name of the transformation device was "Great Cosmic Will."
Amidst the flickering silver-purple light.
Leon transformed into a stream of light, crossing thousands of kilometers, and arrived at the Genji Heavy Industries Building.
In the room isolated by layers of blast-proof doors.
In Eriyi's eyes, endless pure light surged from every corner of the room, engulfing her.
Chapter 511: Eri Becomes Light
It was a pocket World entirely composed of ultimate light.
Uesugi Erii's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, her rose-deep red pupils listlessly surveying her surroundings.
She seemed to have reverted to that doll-like girl.
Devoid of any vitality, she was so indifferent that she had no extra emotions.
She looked at the World before her.
Pure light rushed towards her, colorless yet incredibly soft.
Looking ahead, there was an endless expanse of white; above, below, and all around were pure white, made of light.
Eriyi had the illusion that she had ascended to heaven.
But she slowly curled up, clutching her toys tightly, like a small red cat bitten by a large Black Bear, not daring to resist.
—She was sitting in the palm of the giant Leijedo Ultraman.
Eriyi knew Leijedo.
The movie said that he was an omnipotent God born from the will of the great Universe.
How could such an Ultraman come to kill her?
Erii felt that she must have done something very, very bad.
She buried her face in her knees, only showing her eyes, watching Rejedo quietly like a kitten.
Leon noticed something was wrong.
What was with Erii's small animal-like posture, curled up and trembling?
Didn't Erii buy the "trial" for him to come?
Why did it seem like he was here to rob and murder her?
Leon instinctively assumed that his enormous size was too intimidating.
But he used causality to deduce backward and immediately discovered the reason.
He was instantly somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Uesugi Erii, you have chosen my trial. Are you ready to begin the trial?" Leon took the initiative to ask.
Erii slightly raised her forehead, her red hair falling down.
She hunched her head, and after a slight hesitation, she pulled out a small notebook from her embrace, wrote on it with a pen, and then held it up.
"Does Leijedo Ultraman not kill small monsters?"
She had misunderstood.
She thought that small monsters like her were handled by other Ultraman.
Leijedo was supposed to deal with major villains like Giga Endra.
"Don't worry, Leijedo is the embodiment of justice and order. My order part is Cosmos Ultraman, who is a friend to monsters."
Leon's voice was gentle yet authoritative.
Erii stared blankly at Leon.
Her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she had just woken from a dream, struggling to comprehend everything in the haze.
Gradually, her colorless eyes brightened slightly again.
That face, as indifferent as ice and snow, also softened slightly.
Cosmos Ultraman was her favorite Ultraman; this Giant of Light treated monsters like friends.
So, she wasn't going to be killed.
Instead, she was being healed by Leijiedo.
Erii suddenly felt now.
Aside from her body becoming weaker, she felt much better than usual.
There was no longer that feeling of losing control, of a Beast roaring deep in her heart, wanting to burst out.
It was cosmos!
It was cosmos!
"Can I meet Cosmos Ultraman?"
Erii held up her notebook again.
The high concentration of dragon blood made her every word a spirit of words that could slay all things in the World.
So she never spoke, communicating only through writing.
Now that she had lost her dragon bloodline, she no longer had to worry about losing control.
However, she did not yet know about this.
She just held up her notebook.
Like humanity about to take the first step on the moon.
Attempting to communicate with Leijiedo as a small monster.
Leon did not answer, instead asking, "Are you sure you want to use Cosmos Ultraman as the trial vessel?"
Erii tilted her head, not understanding the question.
But after waiting a few seconds, Leon directly clapped his hands, his five fingers enclosing Erii.
"Then, the trial begins now."
Though called a trial, it was actually an illusion.
Leon's illusionary arts had long reached a state of perfection.
He constructed illusions according to the various rules he had mastered.
It could be said to be identical to reality.
Erii's trial script was actually the plot of "Cosmos Ultraman."
Leon also did not make things difficult for this small monster.
He threw Erii into the Universe Development Center in the illusion, replacing Musashi.
Then he himself, as Cosmos Ultraman, became one with Erii.
After several battles with monsters, allowing Erii to adapt to the power and learn various skills.
Leon added several extra dungeons that tested determination, perseverance, character, and courage.
For example, the story of Jijera's Flower, or monsters like Ye Fu, Speeder, and so on.
These were all tests.
But Erii enjoyed it immensely.
She truly believed she had run outside and become Cosmos Ultraman, even forgetting about her brother at home.
Every time a monster appeared, she would raise her courage stick.
After transforming, she would continuously release the Full Moon Wave, Full Moon Wave, and still Full Moon Wave.
She herself was a small monster, so after becoming Ultraman, she naturally had to take care of other large monsters.
But on the few occasions she encountered evil monsters that had to be eliminated.
Erii would not hold back.
However, she would always be sad for a period afterward.
On the day she killed a monster for the first time.
Erii sat on the windowsill, watching the sunset, and said to Leon, "The World is actually very gentle, but they haven't had a chance to see it yet."
Several months quickly passed in the illusion.
Outside, it was only an instant.
Erii finally passed the trial.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the pocket World made of light.
The giant Leijiedo before her gradually turned into light particles and dispersed.
The hand that supported Erii disappeared, and she began to fall.
As she fell, she saw Leon appear in the scattered light of Leijiedo.
She heard Leon say: "Protect this gentle World, Erii, from now on, you are Cosmos Ultraman."
Erii was stunned for a moment.
She realized this was the farewell between cosmos and Musashi in the story.
Before she could feel sad, and before she could agree on a time and place to meet again, she was back in her old room.
"…I'm back."
Erii, dressed in a miko outfit, sat on the floor in a duck-sitting posture.
She listlessly surveyed the familiar yet strange room.
The few months in the illusion were a wonderful journey she hadn't experienced in over ten years.
Now the journey was over.
The person who had been speaking to her from within her body had also disappeared.
Gurgle.
The courage stick rolled out from her embrace.
Erii immediately reached out and cradled it back into her arms.
At this moment, the three-meter-long and wide explosion-proof door in the room hissed open.
Shuichi Gen and a group of researchers, as well as Doctors and Nurses, rushed in.
"Erii! Erii, absolutely do not click that dialogue box! We still cannot confirm… Phew, it seems you haven't clicked it yet."
Shuichi Gen shouted, and upon seeing Erii, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But Erii held up the courage stick: "Brother, I turned into light."
"Huh?"
Shuichi Gen's eyes widened.
Before he could be surprised by Erii speaking.
He incredibly saw his sister turn into a human-sized Cosmos Ultraman.
At this moment, his worldview collapsed.
...
Several days passed.
Leon observed every user who activated the system.
It was his first time distributing so many golden fingers on such a large scale.
Everyone who escaped their original fate through the trading system was experiencing their own wonderful stories.
Leon was watching the drama unfold, feeling a sense of accomplishment from gently plucking the strings of fate and changing the entire World.
He somewhat understood the joy of Eternity, Death, and those other Gods.
This day.
Whether it was Lu Mingfei, who failed his confession, or Chu Zihang, who mastered the power of the God of Death.
And others who had gained various powers.
All were heading to the Arctic Ocean to carry out the system's first kill mission against the Black King and Odin.
Chapter 512 Departure to the Arctic Ocean
The Greenland Sea under the moonlight was a glacial World of deep blue.
The crimson YAMAL, reputedly the World's largest icebreaker, forged ahead, breaking through the ice.
At this moment, within hundreds of nautical miles, there was only this one vessel.
Outside the ship was a desolate ice sea that could make one silently recite, "A mayfly floating in the World."
Inside the YAMAL, however, was a scene of decadent revelry.
This ship was originally scheduled for a half-month resupply and maintenance at port.
But it was said that a major client had paid a hefty sum to see the aurora in the Arctic Oceanearlier.
Even though the Captain repeatedly stated that spring was not the best season for aurora viewing, the major client's substantial funds still made the icebreaker set sail overnight.
Upon departure, the Captain did not forget to continue selling tickets. After picking up several batches of passengers at a few ports along the way, he earned extra money equivalent to what he would normally make in half a year.
This time, all the clients were big spenders.
One could tell by looking at the casino on board.
The gambling tables, which usually started at one U.S. dollar, had no chips below one hundred in value today.
The Captain gazed at the ice sea outside the porthole, finding the glaciers, which usually made people feel depressed, exceptionally enchanting.
Not only him, but even the White Russian beauties in the casino on board were particularly charming today.
They either served drinks or worked as dealers, their smiles as mellow as fine wine.
Any foreign guest on the ship today, if made happy, could casually give them a tip worth several months of their hard work.
Of course, there were exceptions.
"Lu Mingfei! Can you stop staring like a monkey seeing a banana! Still looking! Why don't you just dig out your eyeballs and stick them on that blonde, big-breasted woman's thigh!"
"Ow, ow, ow, it's going to fall off, little goddess, gently, my ear is going to fall off, I wasn't looking, I wasn't looking at anything!"
In a corner of the casino, Su Xiaoqiang angrily twisted Lu Mingfei's ear.
"Not looking? Does it only count if you touch it with your hand? No wonder you insisted on coming to the Arctic Ocean, so you wanted to see foreign girls' thighs!"
Lu Mingfei felt Su Xiaoqiang's anger and secretly groaned.
A few days ago, he picked up a system on the roadside, thinking that from then on, he would reach the pinnacle of his life.
But he didn't expect that after returning home, he still had to buy soy sauce.
He couldn't even find an opportunity to show off his changes to his Uncle and Aunt.
He was sent back to his bedroom, out of sight, out of mind.
Facing Aunt's usual nagging and bossiness, could Lu Mingfei, who was different now, agree?
He thought to himself, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," and then quietly bought the soy sauce, burrowing into his room to sulk alone.
But a person's temper is like an elastic rope; if pulled too tight, it will break.
The more Lu Mingfei thought about it, the angrier he became.
He felt that he was very strong now, having learned so much magic, and even had Mangekyō and Rinnegan.
So, in a fit of rage, he decided not to give the Devil Fruits temporarily.
And on impulse, he also accepted System's first mission: to confess to Chen Wenwen.
The next day for school, he specifically used magic to smooth out every wrinkle in his uniform and combed his hair into what he considered a handsome style.
Finally, as required by the mission, in front of the entire class, he stopped Chen Wenwen.
"Chen Wenwen!"
The moment Lu Mingfei called out Chen Wenwen's name, his neck stiffened like a telephone pole.
His heart surged with ambition, like a great general going into battle, vowing to utterly defeat the enemy.
But when Chen Wenwen turned to look at him, her eyes reflecting a faint Shadow, revealing a melancholy like that in Duras's "The Lover," Lu Mingfei's heart, against his will, began to beat wildly.
"I-I-I-I…" He started to stutter.
Everyone in the class was watching him; no one stepped forward to stop him, nor did anyone jeer.
All eyes carried a hint of amusement, like watching a stranger at a zoo teasing a monkey with a banana.
How keen were Lu Mingfei's enhanced senses? He thought, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen someone confess before?"
He hardened his heart and loudly declared, "I think the buy-one-get-one-free deal at the milk tea shop outside school is too wasteful. Do you… do you… do you want to…"
Lu Mingfei couldn't continue speaking at this point.
Chen Wenwen leaned against the table, watching him, her eyes so clear, showing no ripple of emotion despite his flushed face.
Lu Mingfei even read a hint of avoidance from her body language.
At that moment, Lu Mingfei felt like he missed a step going down stairs, and his whole being plummeted.
His lips moved, and finally, after someone in the class let out a suppressed giggle, followed by everyone bursting into laughter, he became enraged and roared, "What are you laughing at? Are you all reincarnated hungry ghosts who can drink two cups of milk tea?!"
A loud roar, accompanied by a burst of Chakra, stunned everyone.
Lu Mingfei, however, could no longer stay. He turned and ran out of the classroom, burying himself in a corner of the playground.
It wasn't until his arch-nemesis, Su Xiaoqiang, secretly walked up behind him with her hands behind her back, shouted to startle him, and then threw a bag of potato chips into his arms.
She said, "Hiding here crying quietly? Where did that roar like a lion go?"
Although Su Xiaoqiang looked down on him, and her eyes and brows were full of arrogance and disdain for him, at that moment, Lu Mingfei felt as if he saw bright sunshine, thinking, "This is a true friend."
So he gave Su Xiaoqiang the Devil Fruits he had prepared, along with the one he intended for Chen Wenwen.
Until the next day, Su Xiaoqiang was still dizzy, not having recovered from the truth of the World.
And at this time, Lu Mingfei, who was suffering both at home and at school, simply took on System's second and third missions.
The mission prompted him that he could take the YAMAL to the Arctic Ocean.
But he was a loser; he hadn't even heard of the YAMAL, so where would he get the connections to board it?
He had originally planned to fly to the Arctic Ocean himself.
It just so happened that Su Xiaoqiang came to him to ask about the truth of the World.
So the two of them put their heads together: Su Xiaoqiang provided the money and effort, and Lu Mingfei provided… cheers and applause.
The two of them took leave together and went to Nuuk Port in Greenland to board the YAMAL.
This is how the current scene came to be.
Lu Mingfei raised his hand and solemnly swore, "I really wasn't looking at thighs! If I'm lying, let me jump off the stern of the ship and wrestle with a polar bear!"
"Bullshit, you swear with five fingers!" Su Xiaoqiang released Lu Mingfei's ear and glared at him fiercely.
The two of them, bickering stealthily in the corner, did not attract attention.
But everyone in the casino cast a subtle glance at the two of them.
Or rather, everyone there was observing the other passengers.
They were wondering if the other people had also obtained System.
After all, the IDs in System were too easy to guess; they clearly looked like a type of code, representing a cheap, wholesale quantity.
However, speculation was speculation; even if they all had ulterior motives, no one broke the current balance.
The reason they observed Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang was simply that they found it strange to have such student-like System binders.
Being so young yet on the ship, one could tell without guessing that their Dragon Blood level must have been very high before binding System.
Everyone couldn't help but become wary of Lu Mingfei and the other.
However, some people in the crowd still walked directly towards Lu Mingfei.
Three people: one with blonde hair and big muscles, one with black hair and a poker face, and one flamboyant White-haired old gentleman.
Chapter 513: Giant Whales and Snakes
"Lu Mingfei?"
The tall, expressionless black-haired man interrupted Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's argument.
Lu Mingfei didn't expect anyone to recognize him in this place.
Neither did Su Xiaoqiang.
They both turned their heads.
They couldn't help but exclaim, "Chu Zihang!?"
Lu Mingfei's mouth fell open: "Master Brother Chu Zihang, you know me? Wait, how are you here too?"
"It's also because of the system, I suppose." Another voice interjected.
It was a man with a face like a Greek sculpture, golden hair flowing to his shoulders, and ice-blue eyes as sharp as knives, as if they could not tolerate weak people.
"Caesar." He raised his wine glass and gestured to the three, not stating his surname.
"It's rare to see young people here, because most young people aren't qualified to be on this ship. You are very good."
Caesar commented on the three as if an emperor was judging gladiators in an arena.
Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched. The overwhelming aura made him feel hard to look at.
Chu Zihang, however, was very calm, his expression unchanged: "I didn't come because of the system. I came here to find an answer and then kill a god."
The style Chu Zihang displayed was even sharper than Caesar's.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt out of place.
He was too embarrassed to say that he came to avoid the social death atmosphere of school.
At this moment, it was a bit like the Mount Hua Sword Conference: Ouyang Feng was for the title of 'Greatest Under Heaven,' Old Man Huang was for the Nine Yin Manual, and only his Old Beggar was there to freeload.
Lu Mingfei was still a bit proud, calling himself Hong Qigong.
But the true Hong Qigong arrived at this moment.
"Lu Mingfei, Caesar, Chu Zihang." The dashing old gentleman Angers approached them.
His silver-grey eyes surveyed the three, and he reached out to pat each of their shoulders, only omitting Su Xiaoqiang.
"It's a pleasure to see you here."
He also held a wine glass, with a red rose pinned to his chest, dashing and charming, like the strongest and oldest whiskey.
"Mingfei, Caesar, I originally thought I would wait for your enrollment at Cassell, but I didn't expect our first meeting to be here."
"And Chu Zihang, Norma said that you have already traced clues of Cassell by your own ability, which is also very remarkable."
Angers drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and slightly raised his glass.
"Now we are no longer mixed-bloods, but the true enemy still waits ahead."
Angers smiled and turned to leave, "The future battlefield belongs to young people. I look forward to your brave performance later."
This old man came suddenly and left just as suddenly.
Lu Mingfei was confused. What mixed-blood? He didn't understand at all.
But Caesar and Chu Zihang silently watched the old man leave, then exchanged a look, their eyes sharp.
"The Headmaster is right, the dragon-slaying battlefield belongs to us. Let's see who will be the first to take down a Dragon King's head."
Caesar also drained his red wine, handed the glass to a girl nearby, and left dashingly.
Chu Zihang nodded towards Lu Mingfei: "Get some good rest. The real battle will begin very soon."
"Uh… hey, wait, can you tell me first, what exactly are those Dragon Kings and mixed-bloods? Is there a mistake?"
Lu Mingfei felt the entire World was a bit unfamiliar.
He felt Su Xiaoqiang's questioning gaze from beside him, which made his head ache even more.
"Heh heh, there's no need to understand things like Dragon Kings, because they will soon meet their final end."
Just as three people left, four more passed by Lu Mingfei and spoke to him.
There was a boy with a childish face, and three girls with different characteristics.
The boy had a pitch-black long saber tucked into his waist, his hand resting on the hilt.
He gave Lu Mingfei an elegant smile, then gradually walked away.
"Enjoy your life outside of fate, brother. This time, I won't make a deal with you and make you jump around, heh heh."
Brother?
Lu Mingfei felt inexplicable.
Everyone on this ship was very strange.
However, he did get one piece of information.
That is, the people here probably all had the same system as him.
Recalling the terrifying abilities in the system's mall.
Lu Mingfei's slightly inflated heart couldn't help but shrink back.
He and Su Xiaoqiang continued to wander around on the YAMAL.
He saw many people from all over the World.
There was a red-haired Witch in a miko outfit, a Mr. KFC wearing a paper bag, and a golden-haired playboy uncle embracing a girl…
Lu Mingfei even met his online friend, Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang brought a boy who looked young and said he was his younger brother.
Online friends meeting, tears streaming down their faces.
Lu Mingfei and Xiao Tang slept side by side that night.
If it weren't for the satellite internet in the Arctic Ocean being too expensive to afford.
Lu Mingfei would definitely have to play a round of World of Warcraft with Xiao Tang.
Gradually, night deepened.
In his sleep.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt his whole body shake, then he hit the ceiling of the cabin.
When he woke up, the cabin was already upside down.
Seawater gurgled in through the cracks in the cabin door.
Lu Mingfei violently kicked open the cabin door, and was caught off guard by the surging seawater that slammed him against the iron plate of the cabin.
He was completely unaccustomed to his new strength.
But fortunately, he wouldn't get hurt.
Moreover, Xiao Tang and his younger brother, Xiao Tang, were clearly not ordinary people either.
They were both submerged in the seawater with him, yet they seemed perfectly fine.
The three swam out of the cabin and found that a large number of corpses were already floating around. The already dark seawater at night was completely blackened by blood.
In the darkness, countless slender, curved Shadows swam, thousands of snakes.
Lu Mingfei could see those things, with hard bones and sharp teeth. They didn't look like snakes at all.
But besides snakes, he didn't know what else to call them.
Those snakes rushed like a school of sardines, numerous enough to gnaw him, Xiao Tang, and the other Xiao Tang to White bones.
Lu Mingfei's eyes turned into Sharingan-Rinnegan, and a Shinra Tensei was released. The seawater and the snake swarm were pushed away together, and the snake swarm instantly turned into a blood mist.
"Mmm, mmm!" Xiao Tang gave a thumbs up.
Lu Mingfei pointed to the sea surface, telling Xiao Tang and the other Xiao Tang to float up.
He was preparing to rescue Su Xiaoqiang.
But Su Xiaoqiang, who had eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit and the Mero Mero Fruit, obviously didn't need his rescue.
The domineering little celestial maiden kicked open the cabin door herself and saved her roommate.
When Lu Mingfei swam to the surface of the sea and stepped on the Water using Chakra, he understood what had happened.
—There were dozens of people on the sea surface, just like him, treading Water.
Some others were flying, some were swimming.
These were all the survivors.
Everyone else was dead.
The entire YAMAL was struck by a giant object and capsized, now sinking upside down into the ocean.
And the giant object that caused all this was in front.
The people around Lu Mingfei communicated, calling that thing "Leviathan."
It was a monster shaped very much like a sperm whale, completely White.
But it wasn't a whale. Its body was covered in bone spurs, and its heartbeat was as heavy as thunder from the sky.
It let out a long, mournful whale cry, weeping and complaining, like a heavenly song, but it was actually a terrifying infrasound attack.
Every time a song echoed, several people present would sway and sink into the seawater.
At this moment, the golden-haired sharp-looking man Lu Mingfei had seen before rushed into the sky.
"What if you're a Dragon King? Submit to me!"
Caesar roared in the sky.
Conqueror's Haki erupted, sweeping across the entire area.
Chapter 514 Entering the Nibelungen
Overlord's Ambition is an ability that requires the user's own 'willpower' to activate.
Legend has it that only those with the qualifications of a King are eligible to learn it.
After use, an invisible pressure radiates, enough to make any scoundrel's heart tremble.
Caesar fell from the sky, like a King descending, and Overlord's Ambition spread across the sea.
Under the surface, large groups of snake-like Deadpool fainted under the pressure, floating up like dead fish.
However, Leviathan was clearly not within the range of Caesar's deterrence.
Its song-like cry suddenly rose, and it leaped out of the sea, stirring up giant waves dozens of meters high.
Its blood-red mouth, densely packed with sharp teeth, opened wide, obscuring the moonlight, intending to swallow everyone at once.
The first to be swallowed was Caesar.
The huge mouth and the giant wave crashed down together.
This attack, which was almost a natural disaster, would at least halve the number of people present.
At this moment, Chu Zihang, in the crowd, made a single gesture with his hand, drawing his Zanpakuto out of thin air.
He went against the giant wave, his blade pointing diagonally to the sky, chanting a long string of words like a Spell.
"The article subtly revealing its turbidity..."
That was the incantation for Kido No. 90: Black Coffin in the God of Death system.
However, someone was faster than Chu Zihang.
"We're going to die! We're going to die! Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale!"
Lu Mingfei frantically formed hand seals as if facing a great disaster.
Chakra burst forth.
An Ice Release Narwhal, no smaller than Leviathan, emerged from the Water with the same momentum, crashing heavily into Leviathan.
The sound of the collision was like two landmasses colliding.
The Impact swept out, and the huge waves shattered into countless Water droplets, pouring down like a storm.
Everyone in the rain, busy either fleeing or preparing to counterattack, looked back at Lu Mingfei.
Chu Zihang also looked back at him.
At this moment, the loser became the center.
But the next moment, Chu Zihang rushed out.
He first kicked the falling Caesar away.
Then he drew his blade close, which was the starting stance for a Drawing Sword Slash.
But Chu Zihang was not planning to simply scratch Leviathan with a Drawing Sword Slash.
"All things in the universe, turn to ash..."
Chu Zihang's Zanpakuto, from the tip of the blade to the hilt, silently ignited with Fire.
The Fire was pure and scorching, as if its sole purpose was to incinerate everything.
"Flowing Blade-like Fire!"
Chu Zihang caught up with Leviathan, which was falling into the sea with the Ice Release Giant Whale.
He drew his blade, and a flash of Fire emerged from his blade, cutting through a hundred meters of space in front of him, igniting the entire night sky.
Leviathan let out an incredibly high-pitched whale cry.
That was its roar of severe injury.
This giant whale-like Dragon, a sudden fiery red line appeared around its abdomen.
That thin line instantly erupted into terrifying flames, completely engulfing Leviathan.
Even though it fell into the sea, the flames did not extinguish; instead, even the seawater was being evaporated.
Chu Zihang floated in the air, looking down.
This move was called Torch.
After he opened the 'Flowing Blade-like Fire' from the gift package.
He naturally gained terrifying spiritual pressure.
And also learned this move.
Now, using it for the first time, the effect made him slightly click his tongue.
"Hey, hey, hey, is there a mistake? That's a Dragon King, that's my sister, hey, she's been beaten half to death like this?"
In the crowd, Xia Mi was one of those stepping on the Water's surface.
She stared blankly at the burning Leviathan underwater, only feeling a chill down her spine.
Wait, why should she be afraid?
She's not a Dragon King now; she's a Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki!
Nine-Tailed Fenrir said to her in the sealed space: "Sister, which Dragon King is that?"
Xia Mi rolled her eyes: "Please, you really don't remember anything, do you? That's the King of Ocean and Water. Damn it, the King of the Ocean, yet defeated by Fire in the sea, without even time to use a Spell, truly..."
Xia Mi pondered for a long time before finally spitting out a word: "Terrifying."
The sea surface was somewhat silent for a time; besides the sound of the wind and waves, there was only Leviathan's painful whale cry.
Everyone looked at the flames burning in the sea.
A large amount of Water vapor obscured their vision, but it couldn't hide their greedy eyes.
They all knew that the one underwater was very likely a Dragon King.
Selling a Dragon King's Dragon Bone Cross to the system would undoubtedly fetch an unimaginable sky-high price.
Everyone was eager to try.
Their gazes swept between Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Caesar.
These three were the biggest obstacles to seizing the Dragon Bone.
The atmosphere invisibly became tense.
Without external enemies, humans are each other's greatest enemies.
Lu Mingfei was puzzled, only feeling his scalp tingle from the gazes of the people around him.
He couldn't help but hug his arms tightly: "How come it suddenly feels a bit cold? Little Heavenly Maiden, do you still want your clothes? How about lending them to me for a bit?"
"Lend you my head! I'm only wearing a slip dress, and it's wet. What will I wear if I take it off for you!" Su Xiaoqiang glared at him.
Lu Mingfei shrank his neck, not daring to push his luck again.
But he lowered his head, and his slowly rotating Sharingan-Rinnegan saw a peculiar sight underwater.
Because it had been filled with too much biological blood.
At this moment, the ocean under the moonlight was pitch Black.
But in Lu Mingfei's eyes, the Black ocean currents were flowing in a vortex shape, and they were accelerating.
"Hey, hey, hey! Underwater... there seems to be something!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed.
The crowd followed and looked into the Water.
Most people could only perceive that a vortex seemed to be forming.
Only the exceptionally knowledgeable Xia Mi siblings and the Xiao Tang brothers discovered the truth.
"A Nibelungen has opened; Leviathan's blood and bones have opened its gate as keys."
Xia Mi muttered to herself, or rather, to Fenrir within her body.
Nibelungen is a hidden space that overlaps with the real World, and only Dragonkind of high bloodline can construct it.
Combined with the system's mission description.
It's not hard to guess that this Nibelungen either belongs to the Black King or Odin.
Xia Mi suddenly felt a little uneasy; after a thousand years, she seemed to be about to see that "father" or "brother" again.
After everyone noticed the anomaly in the ocean.
The rotation of the ocean currents suddenly accelerated.
It was as if something was violently sucking in the Water flow at the bottom of the sea.
A huge vortex formed.
The center of the vortex became hollow, and seawater and icebergs swirled down to the bottom.
The burning Leviathan was swept away by the ocean currents, instantly pulled into the seabed, disappearing into the darkness.
"Oh no, the Dragon Bone Cross! There's something underground snatching the Dragon Bone Cross!"
Everyone finally reacted.
At this moment, the immense wealth made them lose their minds.
People who were originally fleeing outwards, preparing to avoid the ocean currents, one by one jumped into the Water, following the current circle down to the bottom.
When they opened their eyes again.
Those who survived saw a cyan sky and a calm sea.
In the center of the sea and sky was an isolated island.
Strange light fell from the sky.
It illuminated the ancient trees forming a forest on the island, and also illuminated a building like an ancient Roman gladiatorial arena surrounding the ancient trees.
In that building, on the circular walls were adjacent stone caves, and square objects were placed in the stone caves.
From a distance, they looked like piles of coffins, or gravestones.
As for Leviathan, it had disappeared without a trace.
Chapter 515: Melee and Odin's Suspicion
While most people were still floating in the water, a few instantly flew up.
Xiao Tang and Old Tang flew in the air, with flames spewing from beneath their feet like jet thrusters.
"Is this… the legendary Avalon? Or rather, Valhalla?"
The boy beside Old Tang said, looking at the island.
"Those stone caves are full of coffins, and inside the coffins are puppets, somewhere between humans and Deadpool; they are Odin's Einherjar."
Old Tang nodded, "Exactly, and Leviathan's aura has vanished, meaning it's likely been devoured, so this place… is Odin's Nibelungen!"
Both brothers had eaten the Mera Mera no Mi.
As the former Kings of Bronze and Fire, Norton and Constantine.
They could use flames as if they were an extension of their own bodies.
Not far from the two was Xia Mi, glowing golden, having entered her Immortal Fox Mode.
The three exchanged glances, meeting again after a millennium, and merely nodded slightly.
As former Dragon Kings, they were, in theory, the strongest contenders to claim the first kill here.
Even S-Rank individuals among the others only had a few thousand points from their bloodline conversions.
But they each had a full ten thousand.
Especially Xia Mi and Fenrir.
Fenrir used ten thousand points to transform himself into a Nine-Tails.
Xia Mi used ten thousand points to transform herself into an Asura physique.
With the two stacked, and the Immortal Mode that came with Asura activated.
Xia Mi was now confident she could defeat ten of her strongest selves!
With such power, far surpassing that of a Dragon King, in hand.
Xia Mi couldn't find a reason why she wouldn't get the first kill.
"Norton, you know Odin and I have some conflict; he's for us two to deal with." Xia Mi intended to persuade Norton not to oppose her.
Old Tang glanced at her, "After so many years, you still have this absurd personality, Yemengade. The times have changed. If you want to kill Odin, you come and take him yourself."
"Hmph, if I have to take him myself, then I will." Xia Mi grumbled, kicking her golden, shimmering calves.
The two Dragon Kings were still conversing.
Among the crowd, Chu Zihang took a step forward.
He was so fast he was like a Shadow, instantly appearing on the island, flipping open coffin lids one after another in the stone caves.
The precise force and angle he used would make even the most skilled pallbearer bow in admiration.
Each coffin he opened caused a pair of golden pupils to light up.
The Einherjar, who had been slumbering for who knows how long, sat up rigidly, their terrifying dragon might radiating in all directions.
But Chu Zihang ignored them, continuing to open coffins in succession.
Until he opened a certain coffin, and he suddenly stopped.
"Finally… I found you." Chu Zihang's fingers trembled.
Inside the coffin was a man wearing an Odin mask, his face obscured.
But the clothes he wore were the same set that man wore two years ago on that rainy night.
Undoubtedly, the one in this coffin was Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao.
Chu Zihang's Zanpakuto cut an arc, the Odin mask shattered, and Chu Tianjiao, who was about to burst forth with furious golden pupils, closed his eyes again and fell into a deep slumber.
"I'm here, Father. Now I'll take you to get revenge."
Chu Zihang re-closed the coffin lid, hoisted the coffin onto his shoulder, and walked out of the stone cave.
He held his blade in his right hand, flames rising from its body, and his dark eyes swept like knives across the dozens of pairs of golden pupils in the surrounding stone caves.
"Hado #90: Black Coffin!"
Boom!
A black prison descended, enveloping the entire island, thousands of blades erupted, and space and gravity twisted at that moment.
A moment later, the Black Coffin dissipated.
Except for Chu Tianjiao, all the Einherjar and all the coffins were shattered into pieces.
Half of Odin's thousands of years of accumulation were gone just like that.
As for the other side, it was naturally Odin's son, Caesar, and the Black King, cultivated and hatched by Odin.
Chu Zihang slowly walked out of the island amidst the golden blood spurting around him.
The others only reached the shore at this point.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is a bit exaggerated, isn't it…?" Xia Mi stared, stunned, at the situation on the island.
Teacher Ye, who had just thought that among all the heroes, only Xia Mi and Norton were worthy, was now a bit unsure.
"This kind of strength… Hero! Do you still want those corpses?" In the crowd, someone who had always followed the majority loudly shouted.
If Lu Mingfei had already joined Kassel College, he would recognize this guy as Fingel.
Facing Fingel's question, Chu Zihang shook his head.
So, a group of people rushed into the island, scrambling to sell the Einherjar corpses.
All of Odin's Einherjar were high-quality mixed-bloods; selling one started at 100 points.
Soon, the island erupted into a brawl.
"Baka! This area is contracted by our Sheqi Hachi Family! Anyone who comes here is against us!"
"Bullshit! Our Chen family is the first to disagree! If you've got the guts, let's fight!"
"The Secret Party is the largest dragon-slaying organization! These Einherjar should be part of the dragon-slaying resources!"
"Let go, let go! They're all mine, Xia Mi's!"
"Sorry, beautiful, these corpses are all mine, Lu Mingfei's! Shinra Tensei! Bansho Tenin!"
Lu Mingfei completed a smooth combo to clear the area, happily preparing to sell the corpses.
But just then.
A colorful light wave came from the sky, enveloping Lu Mingfei.
For no reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly lost all worldly desires.
"Huh? Why am I selling these corpses? Earning points is useless, and there's no one to give things to even if I buy them…"
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little melancholic, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, beginning to ponder the meaning of life.
At this moment, his peripheral vision noticed.
Two giant hands, appearing from nowhere, grabbed all the corpses.
"What the hell!?"
Lu Mingfei was startled, jumping up and turning to look.
"Holy crap! Are you crazy? How is Cosmos Ultraman even here!?"
Not just Lu Mingfei, everyone present stared dumbfounded at the giant figure standing on the shore.
cosmos, nearly fifty meters tall, held dozens of Einherjar and sold them all at once.
Then he made a peace sign towards the direction of the Sheqi Hachi Family on the ground.
Lu Mingfei spat, "So the system can even exchange for Ultraman, huh? Wait, did cosmos just use the Full Moon Wave to steal corpses?"
cosmos seemed to have heard Lu Mingfei's complaint.
He paused, then awkwardly scratched his head, putting his hands together and saying to everyone, "Chaa!"
It was incongruous, too incongruous.
Lu Mingfei opened the system interface with a strange expression.
He wanted to see if there was Tiga; he wanted to become light too!
Splish, splash.
At this moment, the sound of wading came from the sea.
After apologizing, cosmos actually turned and entered the sea.
His tall body gradually submerged, until only his head remained above the Water.
Everyone watched curiously, wondering what he intended to do.
The sea churned, and cosmos seemed to have caught something underwater.
With a dazzling burst of light.
cosmos, with a "Hey!" raised a giant dragon from the Water.
The dragon looked like a Black catfish, with a full row of eyes on each side of its head.
Its belly was bulging; if torn open, one could probably still find Leviathan's remains inside.
Xia Mi in the air stood at attention, "That dragon has a familiar aura about it. Wait, is it the Black Black Black… Black King!?"
The Black catfish was very docile, tamed by the Full Moon Wave.
But the two rows of golden-yellow pupils on its head still exuded majesty.
Its majesty even far surpassed the previous Leviathan.
Undoubtedly, it was the Black King mentioned in the mission.
However, it was currently only in its Larva (juvenile) state, its consciousness like a Beast, and it had no dragon form.
Old Tang also frowned deeply, "It is indeed the Black King, but it has even lost its Dragon King Heart; only its body is still growing, and it's not complete."
Xia Mi and Old Tang exchanged glances, almost simultaneously shooting towards the Black King.
At the same time, everyone else moved too.
Shuichi Gen and Yuan Zhinu from Neon.
Angers and Fingel from the Secret Party.
And people from various other factions.
All rushed towards the Black King.
Some for revenge, some to stop others, some for missions and points.
The grand melee began with a Tailed Beast Ball from Xia Mi.
The Tailed Beast Ball slammed into cosmos's chest, making him retreat unprepared, and the Black King in his hand fell into the ocean.
Shuichi Gen then became enraged, drawing a Zanpakuto and immediately activating its Shikai: "Hyōrinmaru: Hyōten Hyakkasō!"
Snowflakes danced, falling on Xia Mi, instantly forming thousands of dense ice shards.
Xia Mi immediately transformed into her Asura Nine-Tails mode, a towering golden Nine-Tails giant standing in the ocean, even larger than cosmos.
She held a Tailed Beast Ball in her hand, and each of her nine tails also condensed a Tailed BeastBall.
Ten Tailed Beast Balls were simultaneously thrown at the other people present.
"Damn it, do you have to affect everyone else so casually?!"
Lu Mingfei ran across the sea, looking disheveled from the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and erupted.
Thus, a black Susanoo giant also stood up.
He slapped away a Tailed Beast Ball with one palm and waded towards the Black King.
Cosmos Ultraman, who had been attacked earlier, also reacted at this point.
He used the Full Moon Wave again.
Making Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei simultaneously enter Sage Mode.
But while these two were controlled, the others were still in a frenzy.
Angers roared with passion, dragging his Zanpakuto and rapidly running across the Black King's body.
The blade entered the dragon's back, cutting deep wounds.
He was here for dragon-slaying.
Fingel followed behind Angers, carrying an alchemical iron bucket to collect the blood that flowed out after being cut by the blade, preparing to sell it to the system.
On the other side, the Sheqi Hachi Family fought against the Chen family, the Gatto family, and the Secret Party.
The sea and sky were filled with the power of various Zanpakuto, various Devil Fruits, and various Ninjutsu.
Some were Ice, some were Fire, and there were also Shinso against Busoshoku Haki, or Raikiri against Sode no Shirayuki.
Diverse and colorful.
Even the Black King's high-risk words (Geomancy) — Nine Infants — used due to pain.
Seemed like a lot of noise for little effect amidst all this commotion.
At this time, on the edge of the island, there was still one figure left.
That was Pompeii, the patriarch of the Gatto family.
This golden-haired playboy was now wide-eyed, finding the events unfolding before him unbelievable.
"How is this possible? The Geomancy these guys originally possessed was far inferior to their current power, wasn't it? Is that system really that outrageous?"
Pompeii, or rather Odin, the King of Sky and Wind, fell into deep confusion.
He had not activated the system.
From the very beginning, he had noticed the system's sinister intentions and had clicked the X button.
The reason he had followed the main group here today.
Was merely to seize the opportunity to devour the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountain.
For his own schemes, he even turned a blind eye to the destruction of his Valhalla.
But he hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this point.
"No, something's wrong. Something must be wrong."
Odin denied, "That system must have been created by the Black King."
"Its egg has been nurtured by me until now, but its spirit, or its true egg, is somewhere unknown, planning all of this."
"It wants to trick me, to make me give up my authority…"
Odin looked deeply at Xia Mi and Old Tang in battle.
"I need to find an opportunity to devour them…"
As Odin spoke, he realized he might not be able to defeat Xia Mi now.
He corrected himself, "I will first devour the Black King's physical body, and Leviathan, which the Black King swallowed, and then I will devour them!"
Chapter 516 Devouring the Black King
The sea in Nibelungen sometimes froze into solid ice, and sometimes burned with scorching flames.
Amidst the ice and fire, the entire World continuously changed colors.
The scene in the sky was equally exaggerated.
As far as the eye could see.
There were Tailed Beast Balls exploding in succession like missiles, and Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions that split dozens of miles.
Cosmos Ultraman, who had previously stunned everyone.
Now could only release Full Moon Wave everywhere to act as a peacemaker.
But everyone was still fighting inextricably, and the aftermath of the battle stirred up landslides and tsunamis.
The vast Nibelungen trembled uncontrollably, on the verge of collapse at any moment.
And as the Black King, being fought over at the center of the battlefield, it was even more miserable.
Its power could not be underestimated either.
Odin had cultivated it in the Arctic Ocean for many years, and the ocean was its hunting ground.
Although it hadn't fully matured and hadn't developed intelligence.
But it was ultimately the Black King, with the blood of Nidhogg flowing within it.
If it wished, it could even create multiple Dragon King-level Crowned Dragons.
Yet, this powerful Black King.
Now could only roar and thrash amidst the overlapping ice and fire.
Even if it used the high-risk Word Spirit - Nine Infant.
But it was just a passing Tailed Beast Ball.
It blasted it from the sea into the air, flapping around and becoming covered in wounds.
Amidst the chaotic battle, the Black King gradually became Dying.
No one noticed that Pompeii, who had remained on the shore, had transformed at some point into a deity wearing dark gold armor with a blue cloak fluttering behind him.
He took a step, heading straight for the Black King.
Time seemed to stand still for a brief moment, that was Odin using a time-related Word Spirit.
When Lu Mingfei and the others in the chaotic battle reacted.
Odin, holding Gungnir, was already standing on the Black King's head.
He plunged the inescapable spear into the Black King's skull, splitting it open.
He half-squatted, inserting his palm into the skull's interior.
The Black King's blood, which could almost be called the Dragon race's gene pool, gushed into his palm and was devoured by him.
Odin was somewhat surprised; the situation was smoother than he had imagined.
The Black King offered almost no resistance to his devouring.
The supreme authority merged into his body along with the blood.
At this moment, Odin saw a corner of the Supreme Throne, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He had plotted for a millennium, and now he was finally about to jump out of fate's chessboard.
It was just a pity that the Black King's growth was not yet complete, so the power he obtained was ultimately limited.
"Odin!" Someone roared at this moment.
Xia Mi, sparkling with golden light in the sky, was the first to notice Odin.
Because she was the one most concerned about the Black King.
Having tasted the sweetness of the system, her desire for points was now extremely greedy.
"He's devouring the Black King's flesh and blood! Stop, everyone stop!"
Xia Mi dodged a slap from Lu Mingfei, and then dodged the tide of flame from the combined efforts of the Norton brothers.
She rushed towards the Black King regardless, her tall Nine-Tailed body stirring up waves.
The others also reacted, following closely behind and heading straight for Odin.
Chu Zihang, who had no intention of getting involved from a distance, also had his eyes suddenly sharpen.
He handed the coffin containing Chu Tianjiao to Angers for safekeeping.
Then he picked up his Zanpakuto, activated Shikai, and flew towards Odin.
With so many people swarming him, even if the fully formed Black King were here, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
But Odin was unwilling to give up.
He roared, and began to play the emotional card.
"Sister! My sister, the great King of Earth and Mountain, Jormungandr!"
"It's been a thousand years, sister, seeing you like this now truly surprises me, you've actually grown nine tails, hey, truly... cough cough."
Odin had probably been the dissolute Family Head Pompeii for too long, lacking any of a Dragon King's majesty.
He started to go off-topic halfway through his speech and hastily coughed to change the subject.
"And Norton, Constantine, my brother and brother, the erosion of time cannot change your greatness in the slightest!"
"But my brothers and sisters, what made you break into my Nibelungen and make such a mess of it?"
"Although in the dusty old days, we had grievances, why must you do such a thing!"
Odin feigned sibling rivalry, looking heartbroken.
His appearance even made Xia Mi stop and examine him closely for a few moments.
The Odin in her memory was not like this.
But seeing the Black King shriveling up.
Xia Mi still snorted and grabbed at Odin: "Nonsense, you hid the Black King's egg here to hatch, are we supposed to just watch you scheme without breaking in!"
The Norton brothers also charged at Odin simultaneously.
Lu Mingfei and Cosmos Ultraman followed leisurely behind.
Seeing that the emotional card didn't work, Odin directly turned to look at cosmos.
"Ultraman! Kind Ultraman, if I'm not mistaken, you are Uesugi Erii of the Sheqi Hachi Family, right?"
"Damn it, utterly damned!"
He said quickly: "You still don't know, do you? Your Family Head Kikumasamune is actually a despicable villain, he is actually Herzog's Shadow warrior, he has ill intentions!"
"?"
Erii was stunned for a moment, controlling cosmos to take a few quick steps, blocking Xia Mi and Norton who were about to attack.
Odin was secretly pleased, and immediately sped up his speech, explaining Herzog's true face and plan from beginning to end.
This guy had been plotting behind the scenes for a thousand years.
Herzog's plan was actually pushed by him from behind.
Naturally, he knew all the details.
Odin thought this intelligence would bring him an ally.
But Erii, after hearing the whole story, nodded and gave a big thumbs up.
And then... she made way for Xia Mi and Norton.
"What?" Odin looked at the two attacking again, greatly surprised.
He hastily threw Gungnir at Xia Mi, knocking her back a hundred meters.
Then he activated Word Spirit. Indra's Wrath, to block Norton.
At the same time, he didn't forget to continue his verbal assault: "Family Head Uesugi, I have revealed Herzog's truth to you, I am on your side, help me out since I helped you!"
Odin had completely abandoned any semblance of Dragon King dignity.
But Erii shook her head, unmoved.
Shuichi Gen just caught up.
He explained for her: "Erii occasionally transforms at home and practices Full Moon Wave."
"The Family Head... Herzog accidentally got hit once, and as a result, he tearfully confessed everything; he has already been slain by us."
"Odin, your intelligence came too late."
Odin was speechless.
What the hell.
Ultraman actually transformed at home to practice beam skills, and even used the beams on others?
He had nothing to say, and while helpless, he also frowned.
Because Xia Mi, who had been knocked back by Gungnir, had endured the attack at the cost of abandoning one of her tails.
Now she was wading through the Water, enraged.
On the other side, the Norton brothers had also blocked Indra's Wrath's spherical lightning and were flying back.
Odin's thoughts raced, contemplating how he could buy more time.
He had already devoured about two-thirds of the Black King.
As long as he completely devoured it.
He would obtain part of the power of that Supreme Being.
Becoming a new, supremely powerful and supreme being.
Then he would have the power to completely overturn the chessboard with these chaotic guys in front of him.
Chapter 517 Mission Ended
"Odin!"
Just then, someone else flew in from afar.
Odin recognized him.
It was the young man who had cleaved Leviathan with a single strike, Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang forced Xia Mi and Norton back with one strike, facing Odin alone.
"Well done! Young man, you seem familiar, have we met before?" Odin took the initiative to show goodwill.
He could no longer quite remember where he had seen this person before.
After all, ordinary mixed-bloods were just expendable resources to him.
Chu Zihang slowly swung his Zanpakuto, making it vibrate, and his tone was unhurried: "I've been looking for you for many years, Odin."
"Is that so? It seems we regret not meeting sooner, young man!"
Odin said loudly, as if recruiting soldiers, making sure everyone heard him.
"Listen to me! You, and all of you, are the most outstanding humans I have ever seen!"
"Do you see this supreme Black King? It has fallen."
"This signifies that a new era has begun, and we are the gods of this new era!"
"Children, why continue to fight? Come, join me. I can help you fulfill any wish and lead you up the ladder to godhood."
Odin's cloak fluttered, looking incredibly spirited and proud.
However, Chu Zihang looked at him coldly: "Godhood doesn't matter; there's only one thing I want to do."
"What is it? I can help you!" Odin had this confidence.
Chu Zihang rotated the blade and said: "Kill you."
He had been looking for Odin for two years, and this was the moment.
Two years ago, that man stood in front of him, his back to the Maybach, swinging his blade at a god.
Now, he too stood before a god.
He would use the flames of his blade to incinerate Odin.
But at this moment, Odin still showed no anger: "I want to help you, but you want to kill me. Why?"
"Do you still remember the rainy night two years ago, the Maybach on the overpass?" Chu Zihangpatiently reminded him.
Odin was instantly speechless: "...So, that child who escaped was you."
He had casually let Chu Zihang go back then, never expecting him to reach such a level today.
Odin looked around.
"You've already rescued your father now, haven't you?"
"I spared your life back then, how about we call it even?"
Odin tried to reconcile.
But the flames on Chu Zihang's blade gradually intensified: "God's belongs to God, your life belongs to me."
Odin nodded with a sudden realization.
"What a pity... what a pity, but can you do it, Chu Zihang? You talk too much to your enemies; it's too late now!"
Odin suddenly pulled his hand out of the Black King's head.
In an instant, the Black King's massive, catfish-like body shriveled, all its flesh and blood seemingly already drained.
The expression on Odin's face was no longer friendly; a smile gradually appeared, a proud smile, as if seated high in the clouds.
He had been stalling for this very moment.
At this moment, his blood was boiling, his perception of the elements was rapidly increasing, and the World in his eyes gradually became insignificant.
"Ah... this is the supreme and mighty power."
Odin floated above the Black King's corpse, and a large amount of white filaments suddenly surged from his body.
The filaments spread across the sea, as if to form a nest.
"Dragonization!? It's over, it's over, this guy really swallowed the Black King and is going to become a Supreme!" Xia Mi's face changed in the air.
However, she couldn't help but ponder: "I just wonder if he'll be stronger than me once he becomes a Supreme."
"Never mind! He swallowed the Black King, so killing him and then selling him will yield the same points!"
Xia Mi was eager to try.
But Chu Zihang was still at the very front.
Facing Odin, who was undergoing dragonization, Chu Zihang had no intention of interrupting him.
He just gripped his Zanpakuto tightly.
He said in a deep, slow voice: "Bankai... Zanka no Tachi!"
Boom!
Boundless flames suddenly erupted, spreading from the blade to the sky.
Chu Zihang's arm holding the blade was instantly scorched crimson, and his sleeve turned to ash in a flash.
Terrifying heatwaves swept through the entire Nibelungen.
The flames attached to the Zanpakuto had a temperature comparable to the Sun's core.
"Oh my god! Senior is using his ultimate move, run!"
Lu Mingfei, who was watching from the side, dispelled his Susanoo and quickly fled with Su Xiaoqiang.
Everyone else was also running at this point; anyone who wasn't was a fool.
As soon as that terrifying high temperature erupted, the Nibelungen around Chu Zihang began to collapse.
And the trend of collapse was still spreading.
It was estimated that in less than half a minute, the entire Nibelungen would be incinerated.
That one Zanpakuto's Bankai was enough to burn the Pacific Ocean dry!
As for Odin, who was directly facing Chu Zihang...
He only had one regret now.
"What the f***... what kind of ghostly ability is this!"
What kind of Zanka no Tachi was this?
Even compared to the true Black King, it might not be much weaker.
What could he use to fight? Did he have that kind of strength?
Odin suddenly began to regret why he hadn't bound a system back then.
But now he felt he could still save himself.
"Don't underestimate the power of a Supreme, Chu Zihang!"
Odin showed a ruthless expression.
"The Black King's crown comes from the World; what if you are powerful? After the World line restarts, you'll have nothing left!"
Odin restarted the World line without hesitation.
Before swallowing the Black King.
He could also slightly modify the World line by interfering with causality.
But such modifications were very limited.
Not only could he not interfere with Dragon Kings of the same rank, but it would also leave some loopholes.
But now, he had obtained the Black King's authority.
His restart at this moment was a complete and thorough restart.
In Odin's eyes, the entire World was flowing backward.
Everyone disappeared from the Nibelungen.
The YAMAL was retreating to its resting port...
Soon, Odin returned to the time point when the system was bound.
Looking at the dialogue box in front of him, he burst out laughing.
"Good, good, good, this time I'll bind the system, and then go to the Nibelungen to sell the Black King in advance. Let's see who can still overturn my chessboard!"
Odin was now completely in control, confident, and full of heroic spirit.
He smiled and clicked "Yes" in the dialogue box, preparing to exchange for Chu Zihang's blade.
But after clicking, the dialogue box didn't respond.
"What's going on?"
Odin realized something was wrong, clicked a second time, a third time...
His fingers were a blur, but the system still didn't react at all.
"Heh heh, stop clicking, it's useless even if you click ten thousand times."
Without any warning, a childish voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Odin froze, turned his head to look, and saw a boy dressed in exquisite noble attire.
The boy sat on a chair that appeared from nowhere, drinking coffee that also appeared from nowhere, with steam rising.
"Are you the one who created this system?" Odin narrowed his eyes.
"No, no, no, of course not, I don't have that person's ability." Lu Mingze smiled elegantly.
"I, ah, merely received some gifts, and then came to punish the traitor."
Lu Mingze's gaze suddenly became piercing.
"Only by reaching heaven and then falling heavily into hell is the best punishment for a traitor."
"Traitor? You, you are..." Odin's pupils constricted, "Impossible, impossible! Are you saying all this is fake? That's impossible!"
"Heh heh, impossible? Why impossible..."
The coffee cup in Lu Mingze's hand transformed into a Zanpakuto.
"What made you think this wasn't an illusion, Odin?"
"Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."
The illusion shattered.
The World in Odin's eyes collapsed, returning to the Nibelungen.
Bankai Chu Zihang still stood high in the sky.
But the Black King, who should have been drained, was now vividly floating on the sea.
However, everyone else was clearly surprised at this moment, their expressions mostly despair or wide-eyed fury.
"Everyone was under an illusion...? When did you cast it?" Odin's heart died.
Lu Mingze was no longer beside him, but he still heard the other's voice.
"Do you remember those people walking around on the ship with Zanpakuto? I was just one of them."
Lu Mingze's light laughter echoed in Odin's ears.
It turned out that this guy had already used Kyoka Suigetsu on the YAMAL, planting the seed of illusion in everyone.
The illusion of Kyoka Suigetsu that was activated earlier.
It made everyone play a scene of ascending to godhood with Odin.
Now that the illusion was over, Odin had become the biggest Joker.
Odin smiled bitterly in despair: "A thousand years of planning... I'm truly unwilling, but to be defeated by another Supreme, I have no regrets dying."
"Hahahaha, I'm not interested in dirtying my hands. Look up, Odin, and meet your destiny," Lu Mingze's voice said.
Odin looked up, and the flames swung by Chu Zihang in the air engulfed him, burning him to ashes.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, mission complete (end)!]
The second before the Nibelungen was destroyed, everyone simultaneously received the system's notification.
....
"That truly was a grand play."
Leon floated above the Arctic Ocean, having observed this battle the entire time.
Now, those who sought revenge got their revenge, and those who wanted to complete missions also received their points.
As for him, he had collected the bloodlines of all the Dragon Kings.
Everyone achieved a perfect ending.
"Eriyi sold the White King's bloodline to the system a few days ago."
"Now, the Black King's is also acquired."
"However, the Black King, Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingze are somewhat like the Holy Trinity described in the Bible."
"Their three bloodlines combined form the complete supreme power of this World."
"Excellent, all gathered!"
Leon, satisfied, found a place and began to research genes.
A few days later.
When the m-body in the Universe successfully became the World Consciousness again.
Leon knew it was time for him to leave.
He was about to activate his Crossing ability, but then suddenly froze.
"Hmm? Someone bought Rejedo's trial again?"
"This... all bought by Eriyi, and she bought over a hundred copies?"
Over a hundred copies meant over a hundred thousand points.
Eriyi got a hundred thousand from selling the White King, and the Black King she sold afterward was shared with others.
So, she used all her points to buy trials.
"She's already Cosmos Ultraman, and she's still buying trials. Does she want to become Rejedo?"
Leon decided to see Eriyi one last time before he left.
Chapter 518: More than 100 Trials
The fall of Odin in the Arctic Ocean unveiled the prelude to changes in the World order.
That day, Chu Zihang's sword, Lu Mingfei's eyes, and other terrifying, chaotic powers.
Showed the World that the System Mall's limit was to destroy heaven and Earth.
New factions and forces emerged, each forming their own groups.
The Dragon Clan internally split.
The Secret Party, which was bound by Dragon Clan bloodlines, also split.
The God of Death faction, Shadow faction, and Pirate faction, among other power systems, each formed their own group.
People from the magic faction even prepared to kidnap the author Rowling to establish Hogwarts Academy.
As for the authors and publishers of the three major manga.
They had already been tied back to the Sheqi Hachi Family's building and locked in a dark room to rush their manuscripts even earlier.
The outside World was in turmoil, and the entire World was in upheaval.
But all of this had nothing to do with Uesugi Erii.
She still lived in her original room.
However, outside the room now, there were no longer layers of airtight blast-proof vault doors.
After becoming Ultraman, Eriyi transformed from a small monster into a partner of justice.
Her brother no longer had to worry about her bloodline going out of control.
The other Family Heads no longer observed her with veiled and fearful glances.
Now she was no longer strictly guarded.
On the contrary, she had some of the true appearance of Tsukuyomi.
Every day, subordinates she didn't know would respectfully come to report to her.
Even if her gaze was constantly on the Ultraman on the screen.
Those kneeling subordinates would meticulously articulate every word.
However, Eriyi wasn't concerned with any of this.
She didn't understand the Sheqi Hachi Family, nor did she want to understand.
The only person important to her in this building was her brother, Shuichi Gen.
But Shuichi Gen was very capable and didn't need her to worry.
Moreover, on the day they returned from the Arctic Ocean, she heard Shuichi Gen quietly instigating Shuichi Gen to sell sunscreen on a beach in France.
So Eriyi felt that her brother should, or possibly, would leave soon.
Then would it be inappropriate for her to continue staying here?
Eriyi nervously opened the system interface, her delicate curves subtly straightening.
She lightly tapped her finger.
Once again, she purchased "Leijedo Ultraman's Trial."
After confirming the purchase, her tensed curves relaxed slightly, and she sat back, her kneeling calves splayed into a duck-sitting posture.
Holding the Ultraman figurine in her hand, she waited with anticipation and nervousness for Rejedo's arrival.
But this time, no beam of light engulfed her, nor did any giant hold her in his hand.
Eriyi waited for a while and then became a little flustered.
She suddenly realized that she didn't know where to find Rejedo.
Nor did she know if the person who had lived with her for two years inside her body and taught her to run on the streets and buy five-spice fried rice at street stalls had any other name besides Rejedo.
For a moment, it was as if she didn't recognize this World anymore.
Because she couldn't find the person who had introduced her to the World.
Eriyi frantically reopened the "Rejedo Trial" product interface.
She clicked purchase again.
But the room remained so quiet, sunlight streamed in through the window, and the Ultraman and little monsters she had drawn on the glass with colored pens were very cute.
However, the scene of light she wished to see did not appear.
She turned her head and purchased again, once, twice, three times…
Eriyi started by clicking slowly, but then her speed became faster and faster, as if when playing "Samurai Shodown 2," high speed could make it easier for her to win.
The balance in the system interface plummeted, decreasing by a thousand units each time.
Eriyi only stopped when the product interface popped up with the [Insufficient Balance] prompt.
She slowly lowered her arms, sitting innocently, looking DiDi at the more than one hundred trial products on the interface.
This seemed to be her last way to find Rejedo.
Eriyi felt a little helpless; her points were used up, and she had no other options.
She put the Rilakkuma beside her into her arms and waited silently.
On the TV, an episode of Tiga Ultraman fighting Gatanothor was playing.
Before, when Eriyi saw children all over the World turn into light and fight alongside Tiga, she would find the World terrifying.
But now she was also light.
Seeing Glorious Tiga appear, she could even raise her transformation device and join the atmosphere of saving the World.
However, the Tiga on TV now, glittering with golden light, responded to the brave children.
But her Rejedo still hadn't appeared, as if he had already left the Earth, abandoning her, his human host, all alone.
Eriyi silently hugged the Rilakkuma tighter.
...
When Lyon traversed space and appeared directly in front of Eriyi, this was the scene he saw.
Eriyi had her head bowed, her beautiful red hair covering her and the Rilakkuma like rain, appearing emotionless.
Around her were many Ultraman and monster figurines.
Their joints were movable; some were squeezed into a small train; some sat in a circle around Eriyi; and some were placed on the princess bed, with Ultraman and monsters sharing a blanket.
As for the original little ducks and Barbie dolls, they were placed far away.
Well, for a human host, wasn't this scene a bit too immersive?
"With these figurines arranged together, you won't be dreaming of Ultraman and monsters as one big family at night, will you, Eriyi?"
After Lyon spoke, Eriyi suddenly looked up.
Her deep red eyes suddenly broke free from their dullness and became lively, sparkling like gems.
But she just stared at Lyon, saying nothing.
Lyon also looked at her.
After a while, he shook his head helplessly: "Now I'm not one with you, nor am I reading your mind. I can't hear a hundred thoughts you have in your head."
Eriyi nodded in realization and propped herself up on her slender legs.
She picked up a notebook from the table, and surprisingly, she began to write rapidly, then held it up.
"Rejedo, where did you go?"
"...I walked around the Earth."
Lyon shook his head and couldn't help but say, "Wait, why not just speak? You were used to speaking in the illusion, why are you still writing in a notebook?"
When they were one in the illusion, Lyon guided Eriyi to gradually get used to speaking aloud.
The girl's voice was very pleasant, but the habit of communicating with paper and pen for more than ten years was not easy to change.
Eriyi nodded again and put down the notebook.
However, she tilted her head, a little puzzled: "What is an illusion?"
"It's where you had your trial before, a World I created with my mind," Lyon said.
"So that place was fake?"
"You can't say that. Although the illusion was created by me, your experiences were real."
Eriyi seemed to understand and yet not understand: "Then are the other Worlds you mentioned, Rejedo, also fake?"
"Those are real. I'm about to go to the next World."
Lyon's fingers lit up with light.
"Alright, Eriyi, you bought so many trials. I can't give you over a hundred cosmos trials. So, let's begin the true Rejedo trial."
Lyon prepared to activate the illusion.
As long as Eriyi could pass the trial, then letting her become Rejedo's human host was fine.
