Chapter 127: Decisive Battle (Three)

【Representatives of every nation attended the three-party talks between dragons, hybrids, and humans at dawn on the Floating Island at noon today, and have preliminarily signed a symbiosis pact, pledging loyalty to the Supreme…】

【Breaking news — the conference has been…】

Hui Liyi came out of the bathroom, her clothes just pulled on and still a little wrinkled, a white towel in her hand as she dried her hair.

The news on the television was broadcasting the progress of the conference being held on Dawn Island.

The Secret Party and Yuan Zhisheng's side had locked her in her room last night, refusing to let her take part in today's events; reportedly both sides had reached a consensus on this one matter.

She picked up a pendant from the bedside and put it on.

"Alastor."

"Mm…"

A low voice came through the pendant of the necklace; flames rose up but did not ignite anything, only evaporating the water droplets from her hair.

"Are you ready?"

Hui Liyi nodded and said, "I'm ready."

Hui Liyi threw on a black trench coat and tucked a long blade into it; strangely, the long blade was swallowed by the coat, as if there were hidden depths within.

On her wine-red hair, sparks of fire danced; in her eyes, the fire of a red lotus bloomed.

Unlike her usual image, the present Hui Liyi looked more like a dashing, valiant war goddess.

The window's glass began to burn; the alchemical matrix and seals were pierced through by the flames, and the cold wind blowing in was mingled with rain.

Twin wings of flame unfurled behind her back; illusory fire-feathers drifted down, and Hui Liyi vanished from the room.

Su Lin rubbed the ring on his hand, appearing in the cameras of the major television stations in the image of the God of Light.

The transmission of divine power would not affect his performance, but the cameras would.

Those dark, pressing cameras pointed at him like gun barrels, following him wherever he went and filming him; to be honest, he really wasn't used to it.

In the past, when he stirred up trouble, he stirred up trouble, and the commotion he made was quite big, but this was still the first time he had officially done a live broadcast in front of a television camera.

Just by showing his face, his Faith Points were rising?

They weren't rising fast or by much, but there were indeed some…

"I say…" Su Lin pointed at Old Luffy, who had just taken the main seat over there, "your Supreme is over there."

"Oh my god!" one reporter fainted on the spot.

"He spoke to me!"

"God."

Su Lin had ultimately still underestimated just how great an impact his current image had on these faithful humans.

"Why do you speak Chinese?" a bold reporter jumped out and asked.

"…" Damn it, if I pulled out my ID card, would housing prices in the country instantly skyrocket dozens of times over?

Su Lin stopped paying attention to these reporters, went to his own seat, and quietly waited for the conference to begin.

1 hour later

The eyes of Su Lin's historical projection had already lost their luster; his main body had withdrawn its consciousness and was watching a TV drama in the crevice of history while eating hotpot.

When he had a spare moment, he would shift his consciousness out to check whether this meeting had finished — where did all this stuff come from…

Alright, where were we up to?

Oh, up to the Secret Party's invasion.

"?"

The alarm sounded on Dawn Island; Old Luffy was sitting in the main seat with Zhong Li, who had appeared at some unknown time, and Lu Mingze, discussing something.

A great hole had been smashed in the ceiling, and sunlight shone in; the representatives of the various nations stood to one side, fear on their faces — in fact, they had a certain degree of involvement in this matter, wanting to gamble one last time.

But that Supreme paid them no heed whatsoever, as if he had long anticipated this situation.

Nobody came to call me?

Su Lin dismissed the projection of items within the crevice and leaned in to take a look.

Both sides were signing a contract.

"The people on that list have been arranged, right?"

"Arranged."

The atmosphere between Lu Mingze and Old Luffy was harmonious; you couldn't tell at all that they were the leaders of two sides about to wage a great battle — they looked more like two brothers chatting with each other.

Su Lin did know about that list; these two old pickles had thoroughly investigated every hybrid who was secretly plotting something or conducting human experiments in the background, as well as every dragon that had infiltrated human society — a bunch of fellows utterly obsessed with ascending to godhood.

Zhong Li and Lu Mingze departed at top speed, leaving behind the representatives and reporters present.

Old Luffy smiled at them and said, "As you wish, but this is my final bottom line, gentlemen — you should understand that I am not always this easy to talk to."

"I hope you can keep the agreement. If our side loses, we will no longer interfere in human society, and you may take these technologies as well; but if you lose, you shall be subjects for all eternity, and must not rebel."

"Those who violate the agreement shall have their nations destroyed." His eyes turned gold; he spoke these words with great gravity, a murderous air on his face — but in an instant his eyes were smiling again. "Of course~, you just won't be able to violate it, that's all."

This island was covered by Su Lin's divine kingdom, which had been granted the pinnacle achievement of Alchemy, endowing it with a fixed property — Life Reversal.

The essence of Alchemy is to kill matter and reassemble it.

This Floating Island had now overlapped with the divine kingdom, equivalent to a super-large Nibelungen; combined with the properties of the God of Light's kingdom, and with the alchemical matrix as its core, any life killed on this island would gain a chance to revive once more in the outside world.

This was also why Su Lin had said last night that he was very good at this kind of large-scale online game.

But this was not Old Luffy's true purpose; those who revived would be branded by the alchemical matrix — this leveraged the spatial rules of Nibelungen, along with a meticulous technique for implanting into the spiritual element.

Every factor within their bodies would be implanted with the command "do not betray, be loyal to the Supreme," and their descendants would carry this command as well.

"The time is now 1:03 PM; you have 10 hours and 57 minutes remaining." A blue cube appeared in Old Luffy's hand. "By midnight, the entire Earth will be covered within the range of this alchemical matrix, and at that point you will naturally submit."

"Struggle with all your might — who knows, you might be able to destroy the core of this matrix?"

"The game begins." Old Luffy nodded to Su Lin and said, excitement in his eyes, "Go wild and have a blast!"

"This is way better than virtual reality." Six wings of light spread from Su Lin's back; illusory light-feathers appeared in layers in the space behind him, and the sunlight shining in through the ceiling paled in comparison to the holy light spilling from his body.

"Sword, come!"

The howling, tearing sound came.

An ancient, simple long sword, similar in style to a Han Bafang, flew over in a rapid spin and landed in Su Lin's hand.

His whole body became a streak of rainbow light and shot up into the sky.

On the internet, the people watching the livestream exploded.

"What did that bird-man just shout? Did I mishear?"

"Aren't you upstairs afraid of divine punishment?"

"What he shouted was… Sword, come…"

"Isn't he a Western god?"

"I'm an idiot — I was just about to go buy a cross and sing hallelujah…"

"Are there any Shushan people here? If so, type 1."
