Chapter 171: The First Progenitor

Domain of the War King.

A woman wearing a simple shirt and long red hair walked through the empty palace.

Familiar with the path, Zana pushed open the palace door and walked into the deepest part.

“Kii, I received some information here that you might need to look at.”

“Oh? You came faster than I thought.”

In the room, a man wearing a vest on his upper body and loose trousers on his lower body looked up.

“Let me guess, is it related to that astonishing magic power just now?”

“I’m not sure if it’s related, but before that, there is one thing I need to tell you first.”

Zana paused slightly and continued: “On Gozo Island, the Fourth Progenitor has appeared.”

“Fourth Progenitor?”

Kii raised an eyebrow: “A new round of investigation teams went to the Fairy’s Coffin a few days ago. It doesn't seem strange that they released her.”

Kii’s tone was very calm; in his mouth, the Fourth Progenitor seemed like an ordinary person, unable to cause any waves.

But in fact, the appearance of the Fourth Progenitor really couldn't cause his emotions to fluctuate.

As the ruler of the Domain of the War King, Kii Zhurambalada, who has titles such as the First Progenitor and the Forgotten War King, can be said to be the living history of this world.

From the descent of the Heavenly Tribe to this planet, to the resistance of the people on the planet, to the appearance of familiars, Kii Zhurambalada witnessed the development of the world.

In the distant past, Kii even witnessed the birth of the Fourth Progenitor with his own eyes, so he knew very well what the Primordial Fourth Progenitor was.

It was just one of the more powerful weapons manufactured by the Heavenly Tribe. Even if it appeared again, there was nothing to be surprised about.

However...

Seeming to understand what Kii was thinking, Zana, who had just received the news, added quickly.

“The Fourth Progenitor I’m talking about is not the soul of the Primordial Fourth Progenitor, but a newly born Fourth Progenitor.”

“Hmm?”

Kii finally became interested: “A newly born Fourth Progenitor? What does this mean? Did someone take action against the Primordial?”

“Yes, it’s a man named Lin Que.”

Zana replied: “The specific origin is not yet clear, but I heard that he suddenly appeared in the Fairy’s Coffin when the Black Death Emperor Faction attacked the investigation team.”

“He ate the soul of the Primordial and became the newly born Fourth Progenitor, and then... killed Dimitrié.”

“Dimitrié?”

Kii thought for a moment: “If I remember correctly, he is that little guy who plays with snakes, right?”

“Yes, the one who can fuse familiars.”

Zana replied: “I heard that in that battle, Dimitrié summoned a snake tree hundreds of meters tall.”

“If there are no accidents, that should be the fused form of the nine familiars he has been hiding.”

“Hundreds of meters? That’s quite impressive.”

Kii touched his chin thoughtfully: “This level of familiar has already exceeded ordinary Progenitor familiars.”

“Even if the newly born Fourth Progenitor recovered Number Twelve, he only has one familiar. How did he defeat Dimitrié?”

“That’s the point.”

Zana took a deep breath, a solemn expression on her face.

“First, correct one of your wrong guesses: that man named Lin Que did not recover Number Twelve.”

“According to eyewitness reports near the port of Gozo Island, the Fourth Progenitor Lin Que took Number Twelve on board and left.”

Did not recover the familiar inside Number Twelve?

Kii was silent for a moment, seeming to have guessed something, and asked first: “Zana, where was the location of that magic power eruption not long ago?”

“Just as you thought.”

Zana replied: “The source of that astonishing magic power was near the investigation team camp heading to Gozo Island.”

“If the information from the investigation team is not lying, that terrifying magic power appeared as soon as Dimitrié’s fused familiar appeared.”

A look of realization appeared on Kii’s face: “So that’s it. No wonder you suddenly mentioned the Fourth Progenitor.”

Although Zana kept saying she wasn't sure, combining these factors, one thing could basically be determined.

The source of that astonishing magic power not long ago was indeed emitted by the newly born Fourth Progenitor.

“I originally thought it was a special weapon like a Spirit Furnace, but now it seems it might be even trickier than imagined.”

Kii thought for a moment and asked: “You just said the Fourth Progenitor boarded a ship. Where did he go?”

“Itogami Island.”

Itogami Island?

Recalling the particularity of that Demon Special Zone, a subtle expression appeared on Kii’s face.

“It doesn't feel like a coincidence.”

“I think so too.”

Zana asked: “What do you think? Do you want to go and confirm it yourself?”

“No, not yet.”

Kii shook his head: “Since he didn't recover the familiar inside Number Twelve, it means he doesn't intend to do anything to Number Twelve.”

“Although I don't know if this is a coincidence, perhaps he can complete Cain’s goal. Let’s wait and see.”

Zana asked: “What about Dimitrié’s matter?”

“Dimitrié shouldn't have appeared on Gozo Island.”

Kii was very calm about this: “If there are no accidents, he should have received the news and actively sought out the Fourth Progenitor.”

“Since he made the wrong decision, it’s not strange that he died.”

“But the news of his death has already spread.”

Zana reminded: “Now those people below are making a lot of noise, specifically holding a meeting to say they want to regain the face of the Domain of the War King.”

Regain the face of the Domain of the War King?

How to regain it?

Go fight that newly born Fourth Progenitor?

Kii pondered for a few seconds and suddenly felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity to understand Lin Que.

“Send out the information about the Fourth Progenitor.”

Kii ordered: “If they still want to take action, then send a representative.”

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a day passed.

At the port of the Demon Special Zone Itogami Island, a huge cruise ship slowly sailed from afar.

“Lord Lin Que, we have arrived at Itogami Island.”

A blonde girl in a swimsuit ran to the deck and reported to Lin Que, who was enjoying a massage service.

“However, after sending the notice earlier, Itogami Island has not replied. Are we going to break in directly?”
