Chapter 507: I've Been Waiting for You for a Long Time!

"Li Hao, don't waste your effort; it's enough that you've experienced it," Xilian said mockingly. "Aren't you ashamed while piloting such a perfect mecha? Isn't it coming too easily?"

"Xilian, you already have everything, why go this far!" Li Hao said in a deep voice. "We pose no threat to you at all. If this is because of what happened back then, you should just target me alone."

"Hahaha, haha, is there anyone more ridiculous than you? I know you want to stall for time. Fine, I specifically left this time for you, to verify your stupidity and arrogance at the final moment of your life, and to see who is the true protagonist of this world," Xilian laughed. "Don't you feel proud and smug about winning the S Tournament? You won again?"

Li Hao remained silent.

Xilian knew Li Hao was studying the composition of the power within, but he wasn't worried at all. This was supreme technology from the Nimeier Civilization; how could a Human possibly crack it?

"Why do you think I went to Tianjing to find you? Do you really think your face is that big? Magic Li, Magic Li, tsk," Xilian laughed. "I did it just to make you interested in all of this. The S Tournament was just to see all your trump cards. Not bad, just as I expected: you not only grasped the zone's domain ability but also cultivated the true Tyrant Body I have longed for for so long. And all of this will be mine!"

"I think you're a bit crazy. Your body condition cannot swallow such strong power. With such strong Soul Power poured in, your physical body will collapse directly. You are not a Nimeier!" Li Hao said in a deep voice. "Let everyone go now, and there is still room for redemption."

"Listen, listen, is this human talk? Where does your confidence come from? Come, beg me quickly. If you beg me, I might soften my heart!" Xilian laughed loudly, laughing until tears were almost falling.

"Bo... Boss, I can't hold on anymore," Klein said weakly.

Xilian didn't care about this at all. "It is your honor to become a part of me. What did you think I was raising you for, you idiot?"

Klein's expression changed drastically, and Davari also looked terrible. It was a case of killing and condemning the heart. Li Xiangshan was completely unaware, but Klein, Davari, and Anlita knew. They hadn't expected Xilian to wipe them out along with the others; they had always believed there was a place for them in the new world, and a very, very good place at that.

"Xilian, you are truly crazy. What is the point of having all this!" Li Xiangshan really hadn't expected that the always gentle and elegant Xilian would go to such lengths for power. He was so insane to the core; his disguise was too thorough.

"You... you... you... lie..." The more anxious Davari became, the less he could speak.

Xilian didn't care at all, his face full of a satisfied smile. "Say more, old friends. I won't be able to hear your voices later; I will miss you. But you will become part of something great. The strongest person in the history of Human civilization is about to be born."

"Boss, take it, take it all. I am willing to become a part of you." Anlita felt no fear at all, even a bit of anticipation. She didn't resist at all, letting the Nine-Headed Statue absorb her soul.

When she followed Xilian at Tianqi, there was only Xilian in her heart. When Xilian woke up, she was happier than anyone else and dedicated her entire self to Xilian. Xilian was her god; as long as Xilian wished, she could give everything.

"Anlita, you idiot, you stupid woman, he is using us!"

"Damn it, lunatic, psycho!"

Xilian's eyes showed a strange expression, appearing somewhat mocking, somewhat reminiscent, and somewhat playful.

"Very good, that's how it should be. Anlita, I will remember you. You are my first woman!"

Hearing this, Anlita was content.

Zuo Xiaotang was so anxious, but he had no way to do anything. From the very beginning, Anlita had never had any feelings for Zuo Xiaotang; it was all to complete the mission Xilian had entrusted to her. She would do whatever Xilian told her to do, regardless of right or wrong. As long as Xilian was happy, a woman who had fallen into love could do anything.

Ma'er also returned to calm, a smile on the corner of his mouth. The master had played a big game of chess. By obtaining these powers, the master would become the new god of Humans, and they could proceed to the next great plan.

"Xilian, if we die, have you thought about the consequences? Do you think you can do this without anyone knowing!" Maxis roared. "You won't have a good end either; the Meraphis Family won't be able to protect you!"

If so many Elites were to meet with an accident, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. The Meraphis Family was still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.

"Maxis, you are so smart. Yes, the signboard of the Galaxy is gone, the signboard of the North Caro Tournament is gone, the Round Table Knights', the Fire God's, oh, and our new champion, the S Tournament MVP, wow, so many big shots. The entire Solar System will be shaken by this case. Unfortunately, compared to what is about to happen later, these are all trivial matters. No one will care about your lives anymore. You lowly people only see that little bit of things; you don't know how vast the universe is, how brilliant civilization is!" Xilian was finally satisfied, looking down at these ants like a god. He had had enough of being a supporting character in the S Tournament. He had endured and endured, just not wanting to repeat the same mistakes. His dream was about to be realized, and only this group of the most Elite people could complete such a great ritual. I have to say, Humans are too weak, far worse than the Nimeier; otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for such a big fuss. However, the result is good.

Ma'er stared at the others. Soul absorption was a very complex process. The Nine-Headed Statue needed to concentrate the souls to purify them, turning them into pure energy to be input into Xilian's body so that there would be no side effects. What Xilian would eventually evolve into, no one knew, but what was certain was that this was the most profound part of the Nimeier Civilization and the source of this civilization's powerful strength. Their kings obtained power and even eternal life through this method.

"Magic Li, Magic~~ Li, come, our Magic Li, say something. You being so silent makes me a little sad. Hurry, stop me, I'm looking forward to it so much." Xilian laughed. "The omnipotent you can always turn the tide; what's wrong, like a shivering quail?"

"Are those monsters outside also arranged by you?" Li Hao suddenly asked.

Xilian was slightly stunned. "Monsters, what's wrong? Are you afraid?"

Seeing Xilian answer off-topic, Li Hao was even more certain. "Ma'er, Anlita, Venus, since you planned all of this, was there a monster component in it? Is this kind of monster something the Meraphis technology can master?"

Ma'er and Anlita were stunned and didn't pay attention to this. There were indeed no monsters; this level could not be achieved by ordinary genetic technology. These had appeared suddenly, but it didn't affect the plan. Moreover, as long as the ritual was completed, Xilian, who had inherited the power, would definitely have a way to lead them out; even whether to take them or not was not important.

"It seems you don't know either," Li Hao said. "Xilian, no, that's not right. To be precise, Noah, we finally meet."

Everyone was dumbfounded, even Duan Wu, who was preparing to slip away, stopped his steps. It was death inside and out; he wanted to run out and try his luck.

"What Noah? Li Hao, have you gone insane?" Xilian laughed, his voice very calm.

"Li Hao, you must be crazy!" Ma'er said.

Li Hao smiled indifferently. "Since the situation is in your hands, why not listen to me for a few words? Isn't this the satisfaction of a winner you've always wanted?"

"Go ahead, I'm actually really looking forward to it." Xilian became interested instead.

"The monsters outside are things from the Ark. Appearing in such batches, there must be a big shot from the Ark, or even Noah himself. They drove us away with such effort; it's clear they were under your orders, otherwise we wouldn't have entered so easily. And when I mentioned the monsters, you didn't have the slightest worry." Li Hao said. He didn't believe these monsters were just a coincidence that they looked like the monsters of Kepler.

"Just this? Rambling and whimsical, bad review!" Xilian said.

"Of course it's not just that. During the S Tournament, Zuo Xiaotang was attacked by a Dream Weaver. Kevin checked, and Dream Weavers can only be driven by the Ark. And why would the Ark attack Zuo Xiaotang? If Zuo Xiaotang was the target, their methods wouldn't be so weak, and they wouldn't have disappeared after just one touch. This is not the style of the Ark," Li Hao said. "Unless, someone wanted them to do this. Who would do such a thing, and what kind of person could cultivate so many Dream Weavers? In terms of accomplishments in the dream realm, is your dream analysis the highest level of us Humans?"

Xilian was noncommittal. "Oh, it seems a bit interesting, but there is still no actual evidence. Never mind, considering your contribution, fine, even if I am Noah, so what? Both the Meraphis Family and the Ark are in my hands, which only confirms my greatness and power. I have won, and the Meraphis Family will open a new era!"

Everyone's face showed fear, while Ma'er and Anlita were smiling. These two were people who lived and died for Xilian. Whether Xilian let them know or not was not important; this was the basic of accomplishing great things. The Ark and Meraphis, one dark and one light, if there was only one leader, how terrifying that would be.

"No!" Li Hao shouted. "Because you are not Xilian at all. The real Xilian was killed by you three years ago. You are just a Noah who occupied his body using dream abilities. Only this way could the power of the Brotherhood and the Ark be combined into one!"

Finally, Ma'er and Anlita, who had remained calm, were moved. They all looked at Xilian. They didn't care if Xilian was Noah, but everything they had given was because Xilian was Xilian.

Xilian was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "Li Hao, oh Li Hao, what do you want me to say? You went around in a big circle just to sow discord. It's a pity, Ma'er and Anlita are the people who know Xilian best..."

"Do you think anyone would call their own name like that?" Li Hao immediately interrupted and mocked. "Anlita, wake up, wake up. With your ability, it's impossible not to feel that the soul wave of Xilian changed when he woke up. That was not the condition of recovering from a serious illness; that was the reaction of the physical body being occupied. You must have an impression of it. And with your personality, you must have doubted it, so he must have used some means at that time to make you devoted!"

Anlita's heart shook violently. Yes, she had really doubted it. When Xilian first woke up, he seemed like another person, and it took a long time to recover. She tried to probe a few times, and although Xilian made excuses every time, it made Anlita more and more suspicious. Just as she was about to tell others about her doubts, Xilian possessed her.

From the moment Anlita met Xilian, she began to have a crush on him. At Tianqi, Xilian didn't actually have any romantic thoughts about her; he just treated her as a capable assistant. She was willing to live according to Xilian's ideas and bury her feelings deep down. But after that incident, Anlita submitted. The enchanting woman actually looked the most infatuated, and even began to help Xilian "recover his memory," and Xilian naturally recovered better and better.

"Dream Weavers can occupy the target's body step by step by shaping dreams, provided that the other party's soul is very weak, and at the same time the body cannot die. A vegetative state is a very good condition. Secondly, one needs to discard one's own body, and after occupying the body, as long as one passes through it steadily, one can largely grasp and digest the other party's memory!" Li Hao continued.

"Li Hao, the story is told well. Do you think this method is useful?" Xilian still didn't admit it, but he wasn't as happy as he was just now.

Anlita and Ma'er were actually a bit shaken, but the long-standing sense of belonging made them quickly dispel their doubts again.

"Li Hao, don't waste your efforts. Today is your death day. If you talk nonsense again, I will send Zuo Xiaotang and the others on their way now!" Ma'er roared.

"Actually, I knew today was a trap," Li Hao suddenly said.

"Oh, you knew and still came?"

"Remember when we mentioned Zuo Xiaotang being attacked? I casually said it was the betting company to influence the game. I was just saying it randomly, but you echoed it. This is not your style; the purpose is too obvious. Why did you do this?" Li Hao said. "Of course, at that time I was only suspicious, and it was possible I was overthinking it. Later I refused, and you found a way to get Chao Qinglong and others to participate, and also used Anlita to pull Zuo Xiaotang in. Anlita, did you hint to Zuo Xiaotang to participate in this activity?"

Xilian frowned. "Li Hao, what do you want to say? Even if you guessed it, so what? Aren't you still a turtle in a jar now!"

Li Hao smiled. "Do you think there is a possibility that I did it on purpose?"

"Deliberately coming to die? Are you worthy?"

"The function of this Nine-Headed Statue is not only to absorb others' and convert it to one person, but it also has another function: when a Nimeier noble's body is aging and on the verge of death, it can transfer to a younger and stronger body, a forced transfer," Li Hao said. "If I'm not mistaken, the target this time is me. Only my Tyrant Body can support such energy intensity."

Bleem150: The function of the Nine-Headed Statue—Spirit transfer.

This was what Li Hao received on the plane; Bleem finally remembered at a critical moment that it still had an excellent employee, though the information provided always put his brain to the test. Fortunately, he had become quite sharp after years of training.

"Xilian" fell into Silence. "It seems you know even more than I imagined, but so what? If you dare to resist, Ma'er, kill Zuo Xiaotang immediately!"

"Yes, Master!" Ma'er would not doubt, nor would he listen to Li Hao's one-sided story. The laser cannon began to gather power; if this shot were fired, not even the bone fragments of Zuo Xiaotang, Kevin, and the others would remain.

Li Hao's eyes finally burst with intense light, and he sighed deeply, "Long time no see, Nangong Yuhang!"
