Chapter 508: Madness

Ma'er's hand trembled, and a laser cannon fired directly into the distance; the group felt a surge of shock, but at this moment, nothing could compare to the impact of that name.

Nangong Yuhang...

A name buried deep in everyone's memories, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.

Chao Qinglong, Luo Bi, and the others all stared at "Xilian" with their mouths agape, and at this moment, "Xilian" also fell into Silence.

A strange expression appeared on his face, seemingly a bit relieved and a bit nostalgic, followed by a hearty laugh, "How did you figure it out?"

This was equivalent to an admission???

In an instant, everyone was stunned; Nangong Yuhang, a person who had been dead for five years, had actually appeared before their eyes, had occupied Xilian's body, and was also Noah's Ark—this...

"I was thinking, could an organization as large as Noah's Ark not have a public identity? So Noah likely has other identities as well. Actually, at first, I had no way to judge, but just now when you were gloating, you called me Magic Li, and you liked to say 'Magic Li, Magic Li'—it was exactly the same rhythm as back then. Only you would call me that," Li Hao said.

Clap~ clap~ clap~~~

Nangong Yuhang inside the Mecha couldn't help but applaud, then burst into wild laughter, "Satisfying, so satisfying! Worthy of being my good second brother. In this world, only you and I are heroes; what are the others? I just knew that if there was anyone in this world who could figure it out, it would be you. Not bad, you finally didn't let me down. This name feels so strange, like it belongs to someone else."

Chao Qinglong and the others didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was eerie, but everyone felt a bone-chilling cold. They were doomed; the Nangong Family was actually Noah's Ark, and they had played such a massive game of chess—everyone was just a chess piece.

"Why?" A voice rang out, like a walking corpse; it was Anlita.

Nangong Yuhang didn't even bother to acknowledge this foolish, pathetic woman. At this moment, he was finally no longer playing Xilian; he could be himself again, that "loser" who had died five years ago, the incompetent person who had been mocked for five years. It was so unjust; he was the true king!

"How I have missed you all. Very well, having reached this point, I won't hide it from everyone; someone must witness history. The Nangong Family is the controller of Noah's Ark, but in terms of resources and technology, we have always been suppressed by the Brotherhood, which is controlled by the Meraphis Family. The technology of the Nimeier Civilization was also split in two, just mastered in different directions. Noah's Ark obtained the biological modification technology of the Nimeier, while the Meraphis obtained the weapon technology. To completely solve this problem, the Tianqi Youth Class was created. My goal from the very beginning was to invade Xilian's body; regardless of whether you were there or not, the result would not change." At this moment, Nangong Yuhang was exceptionally relieved. No matter how much he had endured or how much he had aimed for, as a person, the sacrifices he had made and the suppressed emotions he had carried over these years were released at this moment. Admiring the shocked expressions of the crowd, Nangong Yuhang smiled, "You don't know how humble and pathetic the proud Xilian was when I devoured him, crying and begging me to let him go. He was too weak to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the Human race!"

Everyone stared at Nangong Yuhang in astonishment; this had completely exceeded what a "person" could do—actually killing oneself just to occupy someone else's body.

"Madman..." Maxis muttered. He was shaken; people had bottom lines, but this monster had no restrictions whatsoever.

"Mad?" Nangong Yuhang wasn't angry at all, "That seems to make some sense. If you aren't mad, you won't succeed. I have already completed the integration of the Meraphis and Noah's Ark. With your Tyrant Body and the technology of the Nimeier Civilization, I can realize my dream, break the decaying old order, build a new world, and lead the Human race toward the sea of stars!"

Looking at the terrified and disgusted expressions of the crowd, Nangong Yuhang said indifferently, "Very well, let you die with complete understanding. God has descended, and I am the messenger of God. As God's agent, I will manage the entire Human race, and even the vast world beyond. Kepler is just an outpost, so go in peace; your sacrifice is for a beautiful new world."

Before anyone knew it, hundreds of monsters had surrounded the group, their green eyes staring at them. He was fulfilled.

"Since you want the Tyrant Body so much, do you understand the capabilities of the Tyrant Body?" Suddenly, the Eternity Mecha's engine roared. The Mecha took a step forward, attempting to break free from the shackles of the barrier. Li Hao's formidable Golden Zone surged, actually possessing the power to contend with the entire barrier.

Clearly, Venus had already unlocked the Mecha's controls. She no longer had a master; in her logic, Xilian's Spirit was dead, and she was free. As a two-dimensional life form, she never considered herself to be just a program.

Nangong Yuhang froze, his eyes filled with surprise. He knew Li Hao was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful. As God's messenger, his current body was already very good, but Li Hao's was better, more perfect. God's messenger must possess the best!

"Li Hao, my good second brother, you always manage to surprise me. Don't move. Since I know you so well, how could I not know your strengths? Be a good boy and listen. You might be able to sacrifice Zuo Xiaotang, but what about all the little children at the orphanage? You watched them grow up. Oh, and the director who raised you—the debt of upbringing is greater than heaven. You have always endured, and everything you have done is to protect them, isn't it? If they were to be wiped out, what would be left of you alive? A lonely person—what would be the point of becoming a monster?"

"Li Hao, don't listen to him! He's just a madman. If he occupies your body, he will definitely kill us all!" Luo Bi roared, though his voice came out very weakly.

"Second Brother, don't worry about us, fight him to the death!"

"Brother, you can't do this..." Ye Tong's weak voice sounded.

Nangong Yuhang didn't pay any attention, "Little Tong, you're awake. My little sister, why are you still so immature? Just watch quietly; there is a place for you in the new world. Li Hao, I only want your flesh, I can let the others go; they have no meaning to me anymore. As for the orphanage, hehe, as the leader of the new world, I have at least that much tolerance. Once you and I merge into one, they will be my family too, and I will take good care of them."

"Go to hell!" Zuo Xiaotang jumped up, pointed at Nangong Yuhang, and cursed, "Hao Ge, don't listen to him! He's bluffing us. Someone as ruthless and devoid of a bottom line as him is just a madman. At worst, we die together; we'll have company in the next world!"

Nangong Yuhang, however, was in no hurry and tapped his Sky-Link. A Thunder fighter jet projected an image—it was exactly the orphanage in Tianjing. "When I do things, do I need to bluff you..."

But the figures appearing in the image were A Youyou and Wuzang, "Li Hao, everything is fine here. We've already dealt with some blind fools. Reinforcements have already arrived. Don't worry about home!"

At this moment, the area around the orphanage was filled with people from the Wu Family and the Daliven Family. All the people from Noah's Ark had been wiped out. After Li Hao left, A Youyou had realized they were being followed, but A Youyou's private security was already in the vicinity. For someone so important, how could she truly be alone? A Youyou had immediately realized the orphanage might be in danger, and while rushing over, she had also contacted the Wu Family. The Wu Family was the true powerhouse of Tianjing.

"Isn't that a surprise?" Li Hao's expression didn't change, but he felt a huge sense of relief inside.

"Hehe, the Daliven girl really isn't just a pretty face. After I finish my business, I'll let her properly experience what it's like to be a woman," Nangong Yuhang opened another pop-up window, "Nine Dream Weavers. I want to see which of these rabble can solve this!"

This was Nangong Yuhang's final trump card. He had analyzed Li Hao's personality thoroughly; in fact, Xilian had seen this too. These people were Li Hao's weakness. Deep down, Li Hao relied on these people to escape loneliness and find the meaning of his existence. Therefore, as long as he could control them, he could threaten him. Nangong Yuhang had placed a heavy bet on this move to ensure nothing went wrong. These nine Dream Weavers, using the full power of Noah's Ark to deal with a bunch of ordinary people, were a sure win.

Upon hearing "Dream Weavers," Li Hao's heart began to sink. Even for him, dealing with nine Dream Weavers would take some effort, and he would need them to make a move first to find a trace. What was terrifying was that the people at the orphanage might have already been controlled.

Nangong Yuhang also felt the silence and despair of the crowd. His heart was greatly satisfied. This time, he had planned his scheme to the extreme. Back then, his main target was Xilian; this time, the target was Li Hao. His actions were always foolproof!

"Proceed. Sacrifice a few first," Nangong Yuhang said indifferently.

Under the control of the Dream Weavers, the puppets were completely dominated; suicide was also an easy task.

... There was no reaction in the image. A Youyou and Wuzang were on full alert, and the people around them were also vigilant, but...

Nangong Yuhang also felt that something was wrong. He immediately switched the Sky-Link to the perspective of the Dream Weavers... In every location, there was only a corpse with its brains splattered on the ground. It was clear they had disguised themselves in various identities, yet not one had been spared.

Never mind Li Hao, even Nangong Yuhang was completely stunned. Every Dream Weaver was the essence of genetic technology and the Nimeier Civilization, one produced from tens of thousands of clones. He knew Li Hao's personality too well; to ensure nothing went wrong, he had mobilized the only nine remaining Dream Weavers, and they had been wiped out without a sound???

The Daliven? They didn't have that kind of strength!

The Wu Family? Even less likely!

"Kill them!" Nangong Yuhang knew the situation had spiraled out of control. With a command, the monsters lunged at the group. At the same time, he used the power of the Nine-Headed Statue to firmly restrain Li Hao. He knew Li Hao's abilities well, but the Nimeier were far too advanced. As long as he obtained his body, it was Game Over!

Venus immediately created illusions to confuse the monsters, while Ma'er and the others immediately attacked the Nine-Headed Statue. However, all attacks were neutralized by the golden energy shield. Nangong Yuhang didn't even glance at them; Maxis and the others were now lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Most of their Spirit energy had already been absorbed by Nangong Yuhang. Controlling the Nine-Headed Statue, he was effectively combining the power of over twenty people to control Li Hao. No matter how heaven-defying his abilities were, he could only be slowly eroded.
