Chapter 305: with translation of chapter title

Jiang Xia opened the door and got out of the car, while Huo Ye Yingsi and Anku on the second floor also came down after pushing open the room.

While Bai Shi Shizuko, who had come along, voluntarily went into the back kitchen, freeing up the space for use as a temporary meeting room.

"The ancient king has already been resurrected; he has taken over the president's body, and according to the president's final instructions before leaving, he told me to give this to you."

Satou saw Jiang Xia sitting opposite; she carefully opened the small bag she carried with her and handed over the Core Coin she had taken from underground.

"TaToBa (Eagle Tiger Locust Combination)? It looks different from the usual combination." Huo Ye Yingsi dubiously looked at the Core Coin in Jiang Xia's hand.

"This is the King Combination, also the tenth Core Coin, the combination first used by Ooz when transforming; its power is dozens of times stronger than ordinary TaToBa." Jiang Xia looked at the Core Coin in his hand and said.

"I've accepted this; the ancient king has just been resurrected, and judging from what you just experienced, the Hongo consciousness should not have been completely suppressed, which is why you were able to escape from the Hongo Building."

The situation at Hongo isn't as bad as imagined, and Ancient Ooz hasn't fully recovered yet.

"Then let's act now, and rescue the president from inside Ancient Ooz while we still can."

After hearing the situation, Satou spoke.

"No, Ancient Ooz is no longer inside the Hongo Building."

Jiang Xia put away the King Combination in his hand, waved with one hand, and a red mechanical bird carrying a green locust can flew in through the window and landed on the table.

"This is the current scene of the Hongo Building; look."

Several people watched the projected screen, and the images being transmitted plunged everyone present into an unpredictable silence.

In the image, a huge amount of coins rose from the high-rise, smashing through walls and rocks along the way, continually expanding the cracks in the entire building.

In the Boom— explosion sound, that silver-white surge threw everything to the back of the mind, in one breath from the broken to the ground, it burst through the high-rise and shot up into the sky!

Bursting from the high-rise, it flew and danced all the way in the already dimming night sky.

Flames raged fiercely inside the building, and police sirens and fire trucks had already sealed off the area completely.

The flames shooting up to the sky were like a torch piercing the heavens, burning and with already disintegrating fragments falling from the sky, the building had already been engulfed in flames.

All of Dreamsee Town was awakened by this dense alarm; an accident occurred at the Hongo Group headquarters, its severity far surpassing Geed's resurrection from the stone coffin.

"It seems Ancient Ooz has absorbed everything that could be turned into power, including the remaining Core Coins, which is why he left so cleanly."

Jiang Xia looked at the continually burning building and made a judgment.

"Core Coin? You mean Greed, because it lacks the Core Coin needed for full resurrection?"

Anku keenly caught the word in Jiang Xia's words.

"Well, aside from what you and Greed have in your hands, the rest are all in the Hongo Foundation—insects, gravity, feline, aquatic—those lacking are there, but now they should all have been swallowed by Ancient Ooz."

Jiang Xia glanced at Anku, who was in a state of surprise, and said:

"I think his next target should be the Core Coins inside the remaining few Greed (Gluttons)."

In a dark corner of the city, Wu Fan was collecting the cell coins produced from today's utilized waste yummy; he now had a full large box of cell coins.

Just as he was weighing the coins in his hand, preparing to enjoy the joy of harvest,

However, the next moment, from the shadowy corner behind him, a pair of faintly glowing eyes, visible with some cracks running through their surface, stared at him silently in the dark. Like a venomous snake that meets a person and devours, it raised its head high, spitting out bright red apricot from its mouth, ready to bite at any moment.

"Who is it!"

Wu Fan's face instantly darkened; his right hand gripped the bag of coins in his hand, and a green halo flashed across his body, instantly reverting to the original form of the Insect Greed (Glutton).

It extended the blade embedded in its arm; the silver-white blade still emitted a silver glow in the night, sharp enough to cut metal directly.

And when Wu Fan saw the golden hem emerging from the darkness, its sense of panic instantly surged to the extreme.

It gazed at the pair of scorching red pupils, wearing a gilded cape and with dark-red cracks on the forehead; its body trembled unnaturally, its breathing nearly halted, and the fighting spirit to face an enemy vanished instantly, like a sheep encountering a tiger, its mind went blank.

"Hmph~ Lingering on in this era?" Ancient Ooz's low tone sounded in Wu Fan's ear.

"You have been resurrected, that's really great!"

Ancient Ooz stood before Wu Fan, who had now returned to human form, his body instinctively dropping to his knees.

If the Greed (Glutton) were not merely a humanoid form but not truly human, he would likely have wet himself.

Wu Fan's insect-like cerebellum already had low intelligence, and now it had directly turned into a paste.

It couldn't fathom how the King had been resurrected—wasn't he sealed? Why did he appear here?

"It's all because Ooz is just too strong, and there's Kazhali—Kazhali betrayed the Greed for the Core Coins, and I barely managed to snatch the Core Coins back from his hands."

Wu Fan didn't dare lift his head; even answering Ancient Ooz's question was filled with fear.

"Oh, is that so?" The heavy voice sounded again in Wu Fan's ear; at that moment, the kneeling Wu Fan saw the armored hand deep within Ancient Ooz,

On the arm there was also a metal blade, and the edge of the blade flickered with dazzling Gold Light.

"Yes, yes, I can take you to find Kazhali; his hands have many Core Coins, which will surely restore your power."

Wu Fan glanced with his peripheral vision at the hand reaching out toward him; although he had already guessed what it was, his fear and the last sliver of fantasy kept him kneeling there honestly.

"You, defeated by Ooz, are no longer qualified to serve me; you have no chance left."

The metal-wrapped hand opened and lightly gripped Wu Fan's neck, accompanied by a creepy sound of bones constantly twisting; Wu Fan was lifted high by Ancient Ooz without mercy.

Those crimson pupils revealed eyes that have been emotionless since ancient times.

"Spare me, spare me..." Wu Fan weakly wailed, Ancient Ooz's wrist continued to exert force, Wu Fan kept waving his hands, using the claws in his hand to attack Ancient Ooz, but such attack didn't even spark.

Finally, Ancient Ooz squeezed hard, and a somewhat bright explosion illuminated the entire street.

Wu Fan could no longer make any sound; five green coins mixed with other-colored Core Coins were swallowed together by Ancient Ooz in the explosion's flames.

Still need three more.

Ancient Ooz felt the power within his body, waved his gold robe, and vanished into the darkness.

On the ground after his departure, only the few cell coins that Wu Fan had just obtained remained scattered.
