Chapter 128: The Bai Wang's Vessel

"Boom————————!!!!"

Just like a meteorite crashing into the earth, the moment the white figure landed, a violent sonic boom swept across the surroundings along with a cloud of dust.

If one were to look down from high above, they would see a "circle" slowly expanding across the land. Every area it passed through turned into a barren, earthy-yellow wasteland, only stopping after spreading ten kilometers out.

At the same time, on a mountain peak near that towering bronze pillar, several figures stood silently. An invisible telekinetic force kept the dust and shockwaves at bay, allowing them to see this scene clearly.

Among these figures, besides Wu Xian—who should have been torn to shreds by 【Judgment】—there was Erii, the vessel of the Bai Wang; Gen Chisaki and Gen Chinome, who were being used as nourishment; and the father of the three siblings, the former Shadow Emperor Uesugi Koshi, all of whom were present.

Don't misunderstand; this wasn't some super-powerful Spirit or Authority capable of resurrection or time reversal. From the very beginning, those who had died previously had nothing to do with them.

The sequence of events must be traced back to five days ago.

At that time, the Gekki Eight Families used the power of the Neon Self-Defense Forces and the government to blockade the entire Tokyo area, surrounding and suppressing the hidden Fierce Ghost Sect within.

Gen Chinome, also known as Kazama Ruri, upon learning that his subordinates—especially his intimate little secretary, Sakurai Kogure—were trapped, chose to infiltrate Tokyo during this critical moment, incidentally scouting out what had been happening lately.

However, not long after he arrived in Tokyo, his movements were already under the control of the "nanny duo," who immediately informed Wu Xian and the others.

Immediately after, a certain little devil who refused to reveal his name used backdoor permissions to temporarily mobilize Kassel's strongest AI, EVA, blinding the Neon AI Kaguya-hime, who had long since become a double agent.

In this way, Gen Chisaki was able to capture Kazama Ruri without Herzog knowing anything about it, later bringing him before Wu Xian, who used the Dual-Handed Technique to cure his split personality and turn him back into a normal person.

After that, Wu Xian made a bold attempt: using the Dead Servants discovered in the lower levels of the Gen-shi Heavy Industries as experimental material, he used the Dual-Handed Technique to remodel their bodies into the images of Erii and the others.

At the same time, he copied the memories of those few individuals, and finally injected "Imperial Blood" into their bodies, creating three siblings who were nearly identical.

Does it feel familiar?

That's right, this was almost identical to Herzog's method of creating Shadow Warriors; in a way, it could be considered giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Of course, because time was tight, the process was not exactly smooth.

Those Dead Servants used as test subjects were almost entirely consumed, with only the final few barely succeeding.

But even so, due to the power of the Imperial Blood, they would not survive for more than half a year, though for the current situation, it was already enough to use.

"Looks like it was a success."

Wu Xian's lips curled slightly. Through the smoke, he watched the white figure crawling on the ground, a flash of mockery in his eyes.

"Very good, he has successfully obtained the Bai Wang's Authority and power, and after a secondary filtration, there shouldn't be any problems... Heh, I don't believe it."

Rumble————!!!

A hurricane roared, blowing away the surrounding dust. The white figure, resembling both dragon and snake, flew back into the sky, and the first thing it saw was Wu Xian and the others on the mountain peak.

In an instant, those blazing golden pupils contracted violently, as if seeing something unbelievable; it took a long while for it to react.

At this moment, Herzog felt like a clown performing on a stage. All his previous actions had become his "social death" scene, and the audience watching this were the very ants he had always regarded as pawns.

Shame, anger, fear... various emotions flashed rapidly through his eyes, finally turning into a roar that echoed within this Nibelungen.

"You ants! You ants! How dare you fool me! Fool a noble god! You all deserve to—"

Hum——————!!!

Before he could finish, a sharp slash suddenly appeared in front of Herzog. Visible spatial fissures spread in all directions, as if to cut him into pieces.

Herzog's roar stopped abruptly. The phantom pain of being dismembered came from all over his body, magnifying the fear in his heart infinitely, to the point that he actually felt the urge to flee immediately.

But soon he remembered that he had already become a god. The Authority and power that once belonged to that White Emperor were now being wantonly controlled by him. Even a super high-risk Spirit like 【Spirit·Judgment】 was something he didn't need to dodge at all.

【Cancel!】

An ancient and solemn tone spilled from his mouth. This was not a Spirit, but the use of the power of Authority to expound the principles of this world.

In an instant, all elemental aura was blocked, and those ubiquitous spatial blades vanished, as if they had never appeared at all.

"Hahahaha————!!!"

Herzog roared at the sky, letting out a terrifying, bell-like laugh.

Yes! He had ascended the throne of god. He had inherited everything from that White Emperor—power, bloodline, and even memories—yet he had retained his own consciousness.

From today on, he was the new Bai Wang, Bai Wang Herzog, a great creature above all spirits and under one god. In an era without a Black King, he was the only king of this world!

And in front of the king, all resistance and struggle were just a joke.

The power of the elements had been completely mastered by him. Even a world-destroying Spirit would turn into nothingness under his will in an instant.

Therefore, no matter what conspiracy that person had, or how he managed to save Erii and the others, as long as he possessed such power, all schemes and tricks would turn into bubbles, to be crushed by him directly.

He would win!

This was a sure thing!

There was nothing left to fear!

An incomparably strong confidence rose in Herzog's heart. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth wide. This time, it wasn't a venting roar, but a deafening chant.

The elemental turbulence in the space was guided by him. After the fire elements condensed, they exploded violently, looking just like a napalm bomb detonating in front of Wu Xian and the others.

【Spirit·Lord Flame】

After inheriting the Bai Wang's legacy, Herzog naturally gained the ability to use multiple Spirits. His spirit was above the four great elements, capable of instantly releasing the high-risk Spirits of all four great monarchs.

However, just at this moment, the elemental turbulence dispersed before him. The originally mighty flames suddenly vanished, as if slapped apart by an invisible hand, leaving no trace behind.

Following that was 【Eye of the Wind King】, a high-level Spirit of the Sky and Wind lineage.

Yet, just like the previous 【Lord Flame】, the high-speed flowing air had just gathered when, under a certain will, it returned to absolute stillness.

Pale Thunder Domination... Useless!

Black Flame Prison... Useless!

Bloodline Traction... Useless!

Herzog released over a dozen high-level Spirits in a short time, covering all four great elements, including but not limited to various types like attack and control.

However, the final result was all in vain, as if he had fired a dozen duds in a row. Let alone a splash, there wasn't even a fart's worth of movement.

His heart was filled with fear, thinking the opponent was the same as him—a complete elemental controller capable of controlling elements purely with consciousness.

Yet, upon careful sensing, he felt something was wrong.

It seemed that within this Nibelungen space, it was shrouded by an invisible domain. All the elements hadn't disappeared; rather, they were being suppressed by the power of this domain, unable to lift their heads.

【Spirit·Precepts】

Herzog remembered the Spirit that had previously covered all of Tokyo, but he still found it hard to believe.

Because according to the descriptions in the data, past users who awakened this Spirit could use it to suppress the Spirit power of hybrids and even dragons, but the prerequisite was that their bloodline had to be higher than the opponent's.

Yet now that he had become the new Bai Wang, even if the opponent were one of the four great monarchs, the Dragon King, he was far from being as noble as himself. How could the opponent's 【Precepts】 possibly be effective against him?

Unless...

"Who... exactly are you?"

Herzog stared fixedly at Wu Xian's face, an emotion called fear rising in his heart. At the same time, he silently tried to cancel the surrounding Spirit domain and then release his own Spirit, but he failed again.

And the more this happened, the more intense the fear in his heart became. A name appeared in his mind.

"I'm your father."

Wu Xian grinned. Of course, he understood what Herzog was thinking, but it could only be said that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

The genuine 【Precepts】, of course, could only suppress hybrids and dragons with lower bloodlines than the user.

But Wu Xian was different. His 【Precepts】 came from the Main God Space, belonging to two similar but completely different systems.

Therefore, let alone a half-baked Bai Wang, even if the Black King Nidhogg came in person, he would doubt his dragon life.

As for using Authority to cancel his Spirit...

Laughable. You take a dragon's sword to slash a Main God's Reincarnator? Who gave you the dog's guts!

————

Third day of the Lunar New Year! May the lucky star shine brightly!

Watched Ne Zha 2 and Feng Shen 2; can only say there is no harm without comparison. If you only watch the latter, it's barely okay... strongly recommend the former.

Expected to finish Dragon 3 tomorrow! Of course, it could be the day after.

By the way, asking for monthly tickets and investments for the beginning of the month tomorrow; hope everyone supports me a lot!
