Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 264 The Blade of Spirit Slayer
When Xu Feng left the base during the night raid, he took several more Imperial Arms and also took two Imperial Arms users with him.

Yes, two.

Besides Akame, Chelsea, the user of the Teigu Gaia Foundation, also followed. She was very curious about the bizarre thing about Teigu invading humans. In addition, this Teigu user felt that Xu Feng had not revealed all the key information and planned to investigate this mysterious person.

Xu Feng has almost completely fleeced the entire Night Raid squad, leaving only Najenda's Susanoo and Lubbock's Cross Tail untouched.

The humanoid Teigu, Susanoo, has actually already been pre-ordered.

Under the pretext of "Imperial Arms for Governing the Country," if Xu Feng were to demonstrate some of his research findings on Imperial Arms and then ask Najenda for them, she would be more than willing to hand over control of Susanoo.

When the East Sea team returned to the Main God Space after completing their mission, Xu Feng brought the biological Imperial Arm Hundred-Armed Giant back to the Main God Space. The Main God did not erase the independent consciousness within that Imperial Arm.

These intelligent combat tools could very well become spoils of war and companions for reincarnators.

As for Cross Tail... this Imperial Arm, made from the hair of Dangerous Species, has no Dangerous Species consciousness inside at all, and its research value is extremely low.

After discovering the true nature of the Imperial Arms, Xu Feng's goal was no longer simply to acquire the original few dozen Imperial Arms in this world, but to expand the upper limit of the Imperial Arms' basic special abilities and create weapons and items with greater power.

Just as he had envisioned, he would develop the Romantic Cannon, an Imperial Arm that uses mental energy to create shockwaves, into a cannon used by the legion, combining the mental energy of an entire army or even a nation to fire simultaneously... its potential would be absolutely terrifying.

Other Imperial Arms also have their own development directions. Their potential is not as terrifying as Romantic Turret, but if developed properly, they can basically surpass the level of the characters in the story.

Cross Tail isn't the worst among all the Imperial Arms, but since it lacks the consciousness of a Dangerous Species, it's difficult to make it any stronger.

After handing over most of the Teigu to the Night Raid squad, Najenda also stated that she would inform the other Teigu users in the Revolutionary Army about the risks associated with the Teigu, so that they could seal them away.

After Chelsea came to Xu Feng's side, she unfortunately also became a research target.

The Imperial Arm "Transformation Freedom Gaia Foundation" is amazing.

Its cosmetic appearance and the word "foundation" in its name can easily lead outsiders to believe that the user's transformation is just an illusion or disguise. In reality, Gaia Foundation is a real and complete transformation.

When Chelsea transforms into a kitten, she gains the agility of a kitten; when she transforms into a bird, she gains the ability to fly.

This Imperial Arms also has limitations.

It does not enhance the user's power, nor does it grant knowledge. Becoming a strong person is merely a facade. To infiltrate and disguise oneself using this Imperial Arm, one must actively learn the target's tone and habits.

Therefore, Chelsea usually prefers to transform into smaller animals that are less physically strong than her.

In Xu Feng's view, if this Imperial Arms can be properly developed and utilized, its potential will be very high. Moreover, its ability to transform is very important to reincarnators. If used at the right time, it can completely overturn the situation.

Under Xu Feng's research, Chelsea is gradually exploring the potential of Gaia foundation.

Furthermore, she herself is also becoming stronger with the help of Gaia Foundation... Under Xu Feng's guidance, she learned Xingyi Quan from the world of "Mr. Vampire". Although she did not master the 'intention', she quickly mastered the 'form' and stance.

Of course, during the research and teaching of boxing, it's inevitable that ambiguous situations will arise, such as the cat in your arms suddenly turning into a beautiful girl.

Chelsea seemed a little embarrassed, but Hsu Feng appeared completely at ease.

then.

Before they knew it, even Chelsea had become somewhat accustomed to this ambiguity.

Compared to when he was researching Gaia Foundation, Xu Feng was very serious when he was researching Murasame, the Imperial Arm.

This Imperial Arm, imbued with cursed poison, is extremely dangerous.

Even if the user is accidentally injured, they will most likely die... unless they are fully recognized by the Imperial Arm.

"It's too difficult... to slay the consciousness of a dangerous species without harming Leone, but they are one entity, it's almost impossible!"

Akame stared blankly at the delicious food in front of her. The frustration she had been experiencing lately had made her appetite decrease.

Well, it should be said that it has returned to the level of the past.

Upon arriving at Xu Feng's place, Akame was pleasantly surprised to find that this doctor had an even larger appetite than she did!
Moreover, this doctor was very particular, cooking those extremely dangerous species to be incredibly delicious... With unlimited supplies, she inevitably ate more during this period, her appetite almost doubling. Of course, even after eating so much, Akame's figure remained remarkably slender, as if she had a dimensional folding space inside her stomach.

"Don't worry, Leone's beast transformation won't happen so quickly under the suppression of my potion; you're only sixteen now, the next ten years are the golden period for your growth." Xu Feng ruffled the girl's cascading black hair and comforted her, "You'll easily master Murasame in the future."

The average age of the group that launched the night raid was ridiculously young.

When the story takes place, Akame, Tatsumi, Lubbock, and the others are all around fifteen years old, while Leone, Sheele, Chelsea, and the others are a little older, but still only in their early twenties.

The oldest, Brand, is only twenty-five or twenty-six.

Esdeath's attraction to Tatsumi wasn't solely due to his innocent smile; the core reason was the absurdly high potential of the 'protagonist' in this story—Esdeath's first requirement for marriage was the potential to become a general.

In the original storyline, Tatsumi grew to the level of being able to defeat the Supreme Imperial Arms in less than a year.

The original author of the manga even predicted that he would be on par with Esdeath in ten years.

Akame is only a few months older than Tatsumi. Although women develop earlier than men, Akame still has a lot of room for improvement.

Under Xu Feng's instruction in the 'invitation of the gods' technique, her connection with Murasame grew closer and closer.

Even if she cannot match her state of mind to that required by the Imperial Arm Murasame, as she grows stronger, she will have the opportunity to master Murasame's secret technique, 'En no Kaku'.

"Actually, Akame's biggest problem is that she's afraid to try, right?" Chelsea pointed out the problem incisively: "If she makes a mistake, the result will be that she kills Leone with her own hands. Under such pressure, it's normal for her to hesitate!"

"Human nature."

Xu Feng said, "Let's wait until Akame is more confident before we try."

"In addition, some of the former minister Ernest's cronies are also imprisoned in the Imperial prison. Perhaps I can create some ministerial tools similar to 'Beast King Transformation' to transform those people into beasts and then use them for experiments."

"A tool? Can such a thing be made so quickly?" The three girls in the laboratory were somewhat surprised.

They were assassins, not some pedantic people.

They can kill without hesitation as long as the target deserves to die, regardless of the method used.

What surprised the three was the speed at which Xu Feng developed the Imperial Arms.

Although I already knew that Xu Feng planned to create Imperial Arms, it was too fast for him to master the technology of creating Imperial Arms in just over half a year!

“Besides me, there are actually many other people contributing silently.” Xu Feng explained, “After I decided to develop the Imperial Arms, the Revolutionary Army Headquarters established the Imperial Arms Research and Development Department. After joining forces with the Empire, some talented but unappreciated individuals from the Empire also joined the team one after another.”

"There are hundreds of people working hard in the entire research institute." — In fact, these people have almost no effect. They spend most of their time studying the materials provided by Xu Feng and spreading education around the world. Before these people have absorbed all the knowledge, the core research and development work can only be done by Xu Feng alone.

Several months later.

Akame calmly observed the half-beast, half-human creatures in the experimental field.

When Xu Feng created the 'Minister's Tool', he used a special-grade dangerous species of dragon-type lizard. This species is among the strongest of special-grade dangerous species and has an exceptionally strong regenerative ability, capable of regenerating limbs such as tails, hands, and feet after they are severed.

After these imperial weapons were created, they were used as surgical tools to cure many disabled people. As long as they are worn for a long enough period of time, they can cure acquired disabilities. When paired with the Imperial Arms God's Hand, congenital defects can also be cured.

Night Raid Captain Najenda's eyes and arms regenerated thanks to this gadget.

For this, Lubbock, Najetta's suitor, expressed his gratitude to Hsu Feng very sincerely.

These lizardmen are the result of that part of the 'ministerial tools' corrupting death row inmates.

Their situation is similar to Leone's, but the consciousness intensity of the Special Dangerous Species is far less than that of the Super Dangerous Species in The Lion King. Only when the erosion at the level of physical cells is large enough can those consciousnesses have the opportunity to become the master of the body. The total erosion intensity of these people is even higher.

Theoretically speaking, it is more difficult to use the village rain to eliminate the dangerous consciousness in these modified people.

In fact.

It is indeed more difficult...

As Murasame's blade sliced ​​through the flesh of these men, dozens of lizardmen were swiftly and cleanly turned into corpses.

"Failed again..."

Akame held up the sword in her hand and murmured, "Theoretically, I can indeed kill only one of the wills, but I have not met Murasame's requirements."

“Red Eyes, you don’t need to care too much about the sword. When you are strong enough, you can completely subdue the will within the sword and make it cooperate with you.”

Xu Feng said, "By the way... I recently found someone on the northern border of the Empire. That person's condition is very similar to Leone's, or to be precise, it's even worse, but the difficulty of treating her shouldn't be too high... Why don't you use her as a test subject first? That might change your state of mind."

"Who?" Akame asked curiously.

"Black pupils..."

Xu Feng said in a calm tone, "After the peace, you should have investigated Kurohime's movements, right? According to the Imperial Records, she obeyed the Empire's orders to go north to assassinate Esdeath before the blizzard arrived, and then she disappeared without a trace."

When he had Kurohime test Esdeath, in order to break Esdeath's focusing lens that was attacking Kurohime, he threw a 10,000-ton alloy ball onto the battlefield.

Small space-based weapons are not very powerful; their power is equivalent to that of a large armor-piercing projectile.

However, once the mass of the space-based kinetic energy weapon is increased to 10,000 tons, its power will be considerable... Xu Feng thought that Esdeath would take the initiative to defend against this move. At that time, although she would still not be able to defend against the tungsten alloy ball, she could greatly reduce its lethality and prevent it from killing too many people at once.

But Esdeath, for the sake of victory, did not choose to passively take the beating and instead charged straight into the sky.

This allowed the tungsten alloy ball to easily pierce the ice shield, and the subsequent damage wiped out Esdeath's army protected within the ice shield.

Besides.

Black Eyes, who was near the ice shield, was also buried by a large amount of ice.

She was in a state of suspended animation... In fact, if she hadn't had the Imperial Arms Hachifusa, she would have died in the aftermath of the battle.

Xu Feng said, "According to my investigation, she was buried in the northern ice plains along with the Imperial Arms, March of the Dead: Hachifusa. She probably had the thought of not wanting to die while she was in the ice. During the time she was in a state of suspended animation, she resonated with the will of Hachifusa, which eventually caused a special change in her body."

"Her current condition is very bad; she's like a puppet controlled by the demon sword Hachifusa."

"Furthermore, the limitation that Hachifusa can only control eight corpses no longer exists... Any creature killed by Kurohime in this state will become a walking corpse puppet."

"Because there are no humans on that ice field at the moment, Black Eyes is currently only enslaving dangerous species, but that army of undead will reach the human-inhabited area soon."

Neither in anime nor in manga has Kurome shown such an ability.

But seeing this ability now, Xu Feng was not surprised.

Akame and Kurome are sisters, and the similarities between Murasame and Hachifusa's Imperial Arms are also extremely high.

They all have the appearance of samurai swords.

One absorbs souls and uses them to unleash its power; the other controls corpses and uses their power... It's natural that their ultimate secrets are similar.

"Zombification?"

Akame sighed softly, then said with a firm gaze, "Murasame may be ineffective against monsters like the Walking Dead, but I will stop her!"

"No, she is not a zombified corpse."

Xu Feng shook his head: "Black Pupil still has a heart; her current condition is more like an incomplete lich transformation."

"If you can sever one of the consciousnesses within a body, you can completely save Kuroko."

Akame was stunned for a moment.

She nodded and said firmly, "I will try..."

Northern border.

The dangerous zombies controlled by Black Eyes did not cause any trouble for Xu Feng and Red Eyes; they were all used by Xu Feng as targets to practice the Tathagata Palm.

With a casual slap, a group of zombies could be reduced to ashes. Even the super dangerous creature controlled by the Eighth House was no exception. Although it was powerful, it was no match for the giant energy palm that descended from the sky and was instantly turned into bone dust.

Moreover, some of the walking dead, even though they were clearly outside the range of the palm strike, inexplicably fell down and turned back into real corpses.

The strongest aspect of the Tathagata Palm is not its physical attack, but its attack based on Buddhist power!

Walking corpses, evil spirits, and malevolent entities... most negative energy creatures will lose their negative energy core under the Buddha's light attack of the True Tathagata Palm, and will no longer be able to maintain their existence.

Just as Akame reached her sister, who was now all alone again, and was about to raise her sword to strike, Xu Feng suddenly grabbed her hand.

"To make an older sister harm her own younger sister... after thinking about it, it's still a bit too much!"

Xu Feng said gently, "If you fail to save Hei Tong, you will probably spend the rest of your life in self-blame... If you still trust me, let me do it. After observing for so long, I have actually gained some understanding of the demonic will within Murasame."
