Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 417 The Sound of Generations
In a realm unseen by ordinary people, Xu Feng and the 'Will of Evolution' are constantly comparing whether the shield or the spear is stronger.

This invisible battle was exceptionally fierce, with at least a thousand clashes occurring every second.

As the defending side.

Hsu Feng was not simply being beaten.

Each time he blocked an attack for Zhao Yingkong, he would always be able to glean a small amount of information from the attack patterns of the 'Will of Evolution'.

When he has thoroughly analyzed the details of this monster, that will be the time for him to strike back!
Moreover, the monster's attacks are not meaningless 'cratering', but rather cause the attacked target to 'evolve'. This kind of evolution is unacceptable to ordinary people and can be considered a wrong path of evolution, but it still represents evolution in the end.

This allowed Xu Feng to gain some knowledge while being 'beaten'.

Roppongi.

Funeral home base.

Zhao Yingkong's sudden arrival threw this not-so-formal organization into some chaos.

Because Yuzuriha Inori and this mysterious person seemed to get along quite well, they couldn't immediately tell whether the newcomer was a friend or foe.

Just as Gai Tsutsugami made his decision to personally contact this mysterious woman, regardless of whether she was friend or foe, the organizer of the funeral parlor was prepared to give her a hard time.

then.

This group, in turn, encountered a setback.

He single-handedly defeated the entire Funeral Parlor in close combat, his attacks were deadly, and his movements were like those of a ghost. He was simply a god of war.

The trap, originally intended as a precaution, was instantly discovered, and the demolition team ended up suffering the consequences themselves.

Even their hacking skills far surpass those of the two geniuses at the funeral home.

She completely humiliated each of the funeral home members in their area of ​​expertise.

finally.

Zhao Yingkong led the captured high-ranking officers into the Funeral Parlor's base as if they were the masters.

His handsome face was completely expressionless.

But the people here felt a strange aura emanating from her.

It was as if the queen had returned to her kingdom.

"So... you went to all that trouble to defeat us just to become our leader?" The genius hacker girl, Tsugumi, was somewhat surprised.

Compared to the combat personnel of the funeral home, her civilian image was barely less disheveled.

This woman is too strong.

They're practically inhuman.

Judging from her demonstrated talent, it would be easy for her to gather a large number of followers.

While directly conquering a funeral home might instantly gain you a group of subordinates, such forcibly subjugated subordinates will never be as loyal as a team built from scratch.

Moreover, this person showed no mercy when he attacked, and many of the combatants were seriously injured.

Even the leader, Yagami, had his arm ruthlessly severed.

How could she guarantee that the others wouldn't harbor resentment?

The funeral home's core remains intact, and given the opportunity, this woman could very well face the risk of being sidelined and betrayed.

"Although your vision, strategy, and development are all a complete mess, your ability to handle details is quite excellent for this special city," Zhao Yingkong commented.

"You..."

If anyone else had said that, the funeral home staff would certainly not have been convinced, but the man before them had just defeated them all by himself.

"who are you?"

Gai Tsutsugami stopped the others from making a fuss.

The second male lead in the original storyline already knows from Yuzuriha Inori that it was this person who stole the Void Genome... This cannot explain the strength of the person in front of him, but in order to achieve his own goals, he has to consider the possibility of making this troublemaker the leader of Funeral Parlor.

"Compared to the answer to this question, I think you should be more concerned about what I need to do."

Zhao Yingkong remotely extracted the void from the bodies of the people in the funeral parlor: "King's Power, this is your target for yesterday's operation."

"In the right hands, this power can even rival the power of the entire world."

"so?"

Gai Tsutsugami felt somewhat worried.

This beautiful young woman seems to be an ambitious person!

"So I want to create a world where everyone in the world will be happy... starting from the most painful place in the world," Zhao Yingkong said earnestly.

This was not her ideal.

Miss Assassin never cares whether the people in this world are happy or not, whether they are living a good or bad life.

However, the collective will of humanity in this world will influence battles in higher realms.

Reducing the barriers between people as much as possible may weaken that 'will to evolve'.

The funeral home staff did not hear the passion that should have been present in Zhao Yingkong's grand ideals.

But they could tell from the woman's expression that she really wanted to do it.

This is contradictory.

"A cold exterior but a warm heart, a hero who isn't good at expressing himself?"

Gai Tsutsugami had a guess.

But the bleeding wound reminded him... this woman's heart couldn't be very warm; perhaps she had ulterior motives.

"The Funeral Parlor's goal is to defeat GHQ and save this country; I must say, this goal is terrifyingly short-sighted, and those people in GHQ are absolutely right to call you terrorists!"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch GHQ commit atrocities in Roppongi and throughout Tokyo?"

Regardless of what outsiders call them, most members of the funeral home organization believe they are practicing justice.

"To characterize a large organization from a one-sided perspective is a characteristic of most short-sighted people."

Zhao Yingkong said bluntly, "Moreover, it is indeed normal to feel that a certain organization is very unreasonable and to plan to overthrow it. But destruction is just the beginning. Unfortunately, according to the information I have, you do not seem to have a plan to take over after defeating GHQ."

The founder of this organization, Gai Tsutsugami, never imagined this would happen... Regardless of whether this character in the story has that ability, he created this organization to save Mana Ouma and free that woman from the fate of Eve. From beginning to end, he was just using these Funeral Parlor members who trusted him.

Zhao Yingkong wanted to continue with some more in-depth content, but she found that most people didn't take it seriously when they heard such things.

This is normal; changing someone's mind is much harder than killing them.

Most of the people in the funeral home organization are quite immature, with an average age that is not even up to adulthood. People of this age are the least likely to be lectured.

Zhao Yingkong could only express her own views first.

As for whether others will agree, we can only wait and see in the future...

"I'll say it one last time: I want to become the president of the funeral home. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Yagami lowered his head.

The 'King's Power' was the core of his plan, and he couldn't simply leave behind the person who possessed it. Since this leader had chosen to surrender, the others naturally wouldn't continue to resist.

"very good."

Zhao Yingkong said, "In that case, our next plan is to infiltrate the top high school in Tianwangzhou. Those who are of suitable age will become students, and those who are not will become teachers."

"Eh?"

Many people cannot understand this decision.

Although most of them were the same age as the students of Tennozu's No. 1 High School, these battle-hardened warriors saw the students as exceptionally naive.

Infiltrating the top high school in Tianwangzhou is like letting a pack of wolves infiltrate a group of domesticated huskies.

"If we sneak into a place like that and get caught by the GHQ, we'll probably all be wiped out, right?" Quarter, the strategist of the Funeral Parlor, said with a wry smile.

It's easy to get a small number of people of the right age into that school.

Like a drop of seawater falling into a glass of fresh water, although you can always detect something is wrong if you taste it carefully, it is not so easy to expose.

But so many people from the funeral home all managed to get into one school...

No matter how hard they try to cover it up, it's only a matter of time before it's exposed.

"Today I used my void abilities to seize control of four GHQ Ultimate Roars. GHQ will not make a move for a while until they figure out what's going on, and even if they do, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Zhao Yingkong said confidently.

Combat strength is the last thing she needs to worry about in this world.

"Is it because of the void?" Gai Tsutsugami asked.

The Apocalypse Virus descended upon Earth seventeen years ago. Although people of any age can be infected with the Apocalypse Virus, only those under the age of seventeen possess the Void.

People in this age group are at most in high school.

"Yes, the abilities of the Void are very complex. Everyone has different abilities, and among them, there must be abilities that can heal wounds... I don't want my subordinates to be a bunch of cripples."

Rescuing people from dire straits is an ancient and effective way to win people's hearts.

As for how they ended up in such a predicament...

In the world of Guilty Crown, information technology is highly advanced, and hackers can do many things in this information age.

Modifying the databases of various schools in this area and fabricating a large number of transfer students is very easy for hackers.

Just a few days.

In Tennozu's top high school, each class has more or less more transfer students. In addition, the school has added several extra classes.

This change naturally caused quite a stir at the school.

And at the heart of all this excitement is Yuzuriha Inori.

This exquisitely beautiful songstress is extremely well-known among her peers, and many people find it hard to believe that she has become a member of this school.

Moreover, under Zhao Yingkong's special guidance, shortly after Yuzuriha Inori joined the school, a large support group emerged. A few of the core members were veterans of the Funeral Parlor, but most of them were original students of Tennozu First High School.

Even the original protagonist, Shu Ouma, became a member of the support group at the urging of his friend.

"Miss Kong, we've been at the school for almost a week now..."

Gai Tsutsugami frowned as he watched Zhao Yingkong accompany Yuzuriha Inori to club activities. Since infiltrating this school, this nominal club president had rarely given orders.

It was as if she truly considered herself a student.

Judging from her appearance, the new president is indeed about the same age as a high school student, but can her thinking really be integrated into the minds of these naive students?

Another funeral home executive, Quarter, said, "The president thinks our previous plans were short-sighted, but at least give us a plan now, right?"

Zhao Yingkong stared intently at Yuzuriha Inori and replied, "Aren't we executing the plan right now?"

"The first goal of the new Funeral Parlor is... to make Yuzuriha Inori the greatest diva in the world."

Yuzuriha Inori has a fairly good reputation in Japan, especially in Roppongi, where the Apocalypse Virus was most severe, and many people there regard the singing of this online idol as their motivation to live.

But in the world at large, it can only be described as average.

Zhao Yingkong is currently accompanying this songstress to gather material... Although her database contains many timeless musical pieces, it is the content written by Yuzuriha Inori herself that she desires.

Yuzuriha Inori is not good at expressing her feelings; she turns anything that touches her heart into a song.

These are the songs that can touch other people's hearts.

"What kind of plan is this?"

“We all know that GHQ is terrible, but the vaccines and supplies they provide are essential. We don’t need to defeat them; we just need them to announce that they are giving up their control over the Japanese region, and chaos will ensue.”

Zhao Yingkong astutely analyzed, "Many people with principles are forced to cross them in order to save those they cherish..."

What is a hero to one is a villain to another... What many see as evil is still a hero to some.

Whatever the reason.

That kind of change always makes the world more 'evil'.

“Actually, I’ve already started contacting people in Africa…” Gai Tsutsugami wanted to reveal his plans.

"Ah……"

Zhao Yingkong gave a sneer: "You see organizations with a relatively high level of civilization as full of evil, while those forces that openly treat seven-year-old children as mercenaries are pure and innocent?"

Knowing the plot well, she naturally knew where Gai Tsutsugami's connections in Africa came from.

Ten years ago, after a disheartening Christmas ended, Gai Tsutsugami, determined to become stronger, went to Africa to become a mercenary—he was only seven years old at the time.

"Only by making our voices heard can we receive help from the outside world..."

"What does this have to do with making Yuzuriha Inori a world-renowned songstress?"

"Most people don't care about the truth; they only care about what interests them."

Zhao Yingkong explained, "Simply put, even if we send videos of some GHQ soldiers indiscriminately shooting innocent people to the whole world, will people in this world sympathize with those innocent victims?"

The funeral home staff fell silent.

People are divided into different groups based on their country, ethnicity, gender, age, etc.

The tragedies of some people are hard for others to reflect upon.

Some people might even applaud GHQ's actions.

"Let Yuzuriha Inori become the world's number one singer, and then... through her songs, convey the reality and emotions of this place to the world. Those who recognize the songs are the ones who truly recognize us, attracting more support. This is what we should be doing."

This reason is not very convincing.

However, the original members of the funeral home could barely accept it.

"GHQ will attack this place sooner or later, shouldn't we make some preparations?" The funeral parlor's strategist couldn't help but ask.

He had learned that there were many more soldiers near the top high school in Tennozu.

"We've made the best preparations to enter here..."
