Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 416 Supporting the Sky
There weren't many GHQ soldiers rushing towards Zhao Yingkong and Yuzuriha Inori; only the four Ultimate Roars were particularly eye-catching.

The Ultimate Roar is a humanoid combat weapon that allows the pilot to remotely project their consciousness into the machine for zero-delay operation.

In cities with complex terrain, this relatively agile weapon is quite effective in combat.

"The Apocalypse Virus simulates the human nervous system and is then remotely controlled via gene resonance technology..."

Zhao Yingkong instantly analyzed the remote control principles of these machines.

She brandished the long sword in her hand.

An invisible wave emanated from them, causing the ultimate roars to freeze for a moment before they turned their weapons on their former comrades.

Destroying these robots is easy, but effortlessly seizing control and authority over them is far more intimidating.

The 'Power of the King' in this world is far more complex than it appears in the storyline.

The Apocalypse Virus has two aspects, Yin and Yang. 'Eve' Sakura Mana represents the Yin aspect. Once she is fully mature, she can trigger a worldwide apocalypse, turning all humans into crystals.

As for the 'King's Power' belonging to 'Adam', as the Yang aspect of the Apocalypse Virus, its ability is not just to extract the void from others—the lack of dramatic performance by the characters in the story is mainly due to their poor control.

The reason why Ouma Mana is so strong is that her personality has been replaced by the Apocalypse Virus.

After obtaining the power of the king, Shu Ouma developed this ability in several different stages, and these different performances demonstrate the growth of this protagonist.

After obtaining the power of the king, Zhao Yingkong reached the peak state of Ouma Shu in just a short time.

Moreover, it can do some things that Shu Ouma can't do.

By slightly adjusting the structure of the Apocalypse Virus in the Ultimate Roar using microscopic abilities, and then remotely sending commands to these robots with the help of void abilities, the weapons that originally belonged to GHQ now fell into Zhao Yingkong's control.

After their teammates 'betrayed' them, the ordinary GHQ soldiers naturally didn't fight to the death; some fled, and some surrendered.

How could an ordinary person possibly defeat a Gundam?
Zhao Yingkong sheathed her longsword.

After obtaining the Void Genome, she needs to act according to the 'King's' rules, rather than being an assassin who only knows how to fight and kill.

Only in this way can we maximize our interests in this world.

Subduing the enemy is more important than killing them.

She then walked over to Yuzuriha Inori, who seemed a little off, put her arm around her shoulder, and they looked at each other.

Some people infected with high concentrations of the Apocalypse Virus can see the void of others, such as Yagami Yamazaki. Zhao Yingkong, who has deeply developed the 'Power of the King', can also do this.

In the story, Yuzuriha Inori's Void is the Void Greatsword.

This is the most powerful void, and also the one that Shu Ouma uses most often.

But in Zhao Yingkong's eyes at this moment, the Void Greatsword did not come from Yuzuriha Inori...

It was someone else—Mana Ouma!
The real reason why Shu Ouma and Gai Tsutsugami can extract the Void Greatsword from Inori Yuzuriha's body is that Mana Ouma is helping the 'Adam' she has chosen to grow.

As for the void of Yuzuriha Inori, this clone... it is a seed, a somewhat illusory seed.

Zhao Yingkong intercepted the Void Genome that originally belonged to Ouma Shu, which made Ouma Mana very unhappy. She was eager to gather the consciousness scattered in the Apocalypse Virus and bring it down into Yuzuriha Inori's vessel.

The two looked at each other, but said nothing.

But in reality, it is a confrontation... Zhao Yingkong can pull the Void Greatsword out of Yuzuriha Inori's body at any time, and if she does something to the Void Greatsword, Ouma Mana will also be damaged.

soon.

The red in Yuzuriha Inori's eyes faded.

She stared blankly at the person in front of her: "Who...are you?"

"Zhao Yingkong, a person from the outside world."

Zhao Yingkong said frankly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you unless you do something stupid."

Yuzuriha Inori tilted her head slightly.

They suddenly appeared, then suddenly stole the valuable quest items, and now they're saying things like this...

“Miss Yuzuriha Inori, because of me, the mission to deliver the stolen Void Genome to Gai Tsutsugami unfortunately failed... If I’m not mistaken, Gai Tsutsugami must be very disappointed in you.”

Zhao Yingkong casually said, "I think you definitely need to make amends."

"For example... let me join the funeral home."

The funeral home itself is not worth mentioning.

But in Yuzuriha Inori's blank soul, the first person to leave an impression was Gai Tsutsugami, who rescued her from the laboratory.

At this point, the doomsday songstress was completely subservient to that person.

Moreover, the continued growth of the King's Power and the mission to save the world both require a starting point. The Roppongi area where Funeral Parlor is located is the area with the highest concentration of the Apocalypse Virus... It was precisely because the management there was too difficult and the risks too great that GHQ abandoned that area and gave Funeral Parlor room to operate.

"Is this really okay?" Yuzuriha Inori was confused.

Before she could react, a Ultimate Roar picked her up and carried her towards Funeral Parlor's headquarters in Roppongi.

Shortly after.

Yuzuriha Inori noticed that the direction Ultimate Roar was heading was very clear, which deepened her doubts: "Does this person know about Funeral Parlor's base?"

This means that this powerful and mysterious figure doesn't need to extract information from her, so what he said just now was most likely not a lie.

So, is she really planning to join the funeral home?

As the two strolled leisurely toward Roppongi, at the edge of the world, an invisible clash instantly reached its climax.

From the perspective of the reincarnators and the characters in the story, the story of Guilty Crown has just begun.

But from a higher perspective, this story ended a long time ago.

Fate is not singular.

In this fourth apocalypse, humanity has different fates... The only problem is that, regardless of the fate or the ending, the power of 'Adam' has never fallen into the hands of a woman.

Furthermore, the woman who intercepted the void genome is exceptionally powerful and has a high level of understanding. Even if the consciousness that released the Apocalypse Virus intends to make amends, the success rate is already close to zero.

This instantly enraged the rule-makers and enforcers.

There are barriers between people, and humans who cannot understand each other hurt each other. These pains and torments eventually converge into the desire for evolution.

And so, the Stone of Origin, carrying the virus of revelation, fell to Earth.

That 'desire for evolution' solidified amidst the vicissitudes of fate. It resembled a special kind of faith power, but unlike faith power, it seemed to have been processed by some deity, giving it an intensity far exceeding that of the original faith power.

The invisible force gradually took on a divine form that radiated light.

Like the creator god in the Bible.

Unable to restore its original destiny, eliminating the destroyer of fate became its first priority. Light emanated from its body and then converged on Zhao Yingkong.

Fortunately.

An invisible barrier blocked the light.

"This evolutionary power... seems to have gotten stronger again!"

Xu Feng replenished enough energy to the crumbling protective shield of the main god, but the BOSS in this world was still getting stronger.

If that light were to fall on Zhao Yingkong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The best outcome is death.

Zhao Yingkong needed to react in time to commit suicide.

More likely... in the unstoppable 'evolution,' they will become a monster they cannot accept, their bodies like dust, their souls forever trapped in a frozen hell.

"This kind of increase in strength has nothing to do with the Apocalypse Virus. Since the arrival of the East China Sea team, the Apocalypse Virus has not multiplied much. The most crucial growth point was the moment Zhao Yingkong obtained the Apocalypse Virus, but theoretically it is impossible to support the Apocalypse Virus to reach this level of increase."

at this time.

A thought suddenly popped into Xu Feng's mind: "The source of this 'power of evolution' comes from the desire for evolution of everyone in the world. If a normal god were to obtain this much power of faith, he could even leap to become the chief god of a certain pantheon... And if the scope of this 'world' is expanded to include Ying Kong..."

Reincarnators are special.

"Your Majesty guessed correctly..."

A boy made of data appeared near the Divine Physiognomist, smiling as he looked at the humans in the spacetime bubble.

The divine shield could not block his vision.

He even seemed to have guessed Xu Feng's thoughts.

"Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. No life can avoid struggling under this law, not even extraterrestrial visitors. You may be the winners in evolution, but you are also a link in the chain of evolution."

Xu Feng didn't care about the boy's words.

This kind of dialogue is also a form of strategic maneuvering.

After Zhao Yingkong's evolutionary instinct was incorporated into the world, this 'evolutionary power' has already undergone such a huge change. If even his evolutionary instinct has had an impact on this world, then it is unimaginable to what extent the 'evolutionary power' can reach.

The data-driven boy, Dart who appeared in the anime, or more accurately, the words of the 'Tree of Life' were shaking his will.

He has made his subconscious believe that the other person can really read minds; 'evolution' has already influenced him.

Keeping his mind focused, Xu Feng concentrated more on the 'evolution' that was cosplaying God.

"amazing……"

The boundless power of faith, the concept of evolution, and certain unknown conditions, when mixed together, created this strange and bizarre existence.

The power of faith is merely a trivial catalyst. In terms of scale, a god created by that level of faith could not withstand a casual slap from Xu Feng.

Its main capability is the concept of evolution.

It's incredible that something so coveted by many can be turned into a form of attack, and this attack is impossible to defend against. Unless one's cultivation level is extremely high, one will become a plaything of this thing in the chaotic evolution.

The most terrifying thing is the unknown 'component'.

Xu Feng's realm is very high. After strengthening the 3S-level "Dream Proving Dao Great Method" and cultivating it for nearly thirty years, there are very few beings stronger than him in the entire multiverse.

One of the components that makes up this thing is incomplete, yet Xu Feng cannot see through it.

The Apocalypse Virus is just one of its creations.

Eve and Adam are merely its pawns, allowing it to transform within the rules.

"The Apocalypse, which began with the Apocalypse Virus, is the fourth one. Does that mean this thing has become stronger three times already?"

"Yes."

Dart laughed and said, “The last civilization chose to become part of Him during the process of evolution… Didn’t Your Majesty make the same choice? Humanity’s desire for evolution will never end. Supported by this desire, the Fourth Revelation will come sooner or later. Making that lady become 'Adam' is certainly a very shameless scheme, but it is just a futile sin.”

"Are you expecting me to make a move against you?" Xu Feng bluntly exposed the man's rambling purpose.

It was easy for him to kill the boy.

The other party understood this as well, but he was still hoping for it...

It simply means that once you make a move, you're essentially entering the game.

It and they can never defeat an entity that doesn't participate, nor can they make a life form from outside the world a part of themselves.

Once everyone has entered the arena, regardless of who wins or loses, a winner will eventually be determined.

“I understand your purpose, but the reason I haven’t made a move is not because I’m afraid of your schemes. Its level is indeed extremely high, but…” Xu Feng paused for a moment, “Forget it, what’s the point of talking so much with someone like you who is just a pawn?”

Dart is very mysterious in the plot of Guilty Crown.

He was behind many things; if it weren't for his meddling, there might not have been so many tragedies in the story.

But in Xu Feng's eyes, this person is essentially a pawn, and not even a core pawn... His efforts are to bring 'Adam' and 'Eve' into existence. Once the true core matures, he will be unstoppable!

"Hehe, Your Majesty may have blocked the light of evolution once, but evolution is a law of nature. It exists in every part of nature. We can attack that lady from any position. You can block it for a while, but can you keep blocking it forever?"

Before young Dart's voice had even faded.

A large number of invisible lights of evolution appeared, their target being Zhao Yingkong.

But layers of divine protective shields appeared out of thin air, annihilating those invisible lights in the void.

"So strong!"

Dart exclaimed in shock, but only in awe: "Behind this power of evolution lies this world, an infinitely vast universe... Even if Your Majesty persists, you absolutely cannot win!"

"We can certainly give it a try," Xu Feng said nonchalantly.

"Won't this kind of attack... if it continues indefinitely, affect the upcoming Fourth Apocalypse?"

This was originally just Xu Feng's guess, but the changes in the divine appearance and the disappearance of Dart on the other side seemed to confirm this guess... it seems to be correct.

The attacks aimed at Zhao Yingkong did not stop.

In fact, many attacks can directly target Zhao Yingkong's body through the Apocalypse Virus. However, even with such attacks, the protection of isolating time and space can still take effect.

It just consumes a lot of energy.

"The veracity of this information cannot be confirmed at the moment... As long as there are still mysteries about it that I cannot understand, we must not underestimate it!"
