Chapter 406 The Black King's Words of Power Reboot the World Tree [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"I am now both Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei."

Lu Mingze spoke using a mixed sound effect.

"You are now invincible."

I hope you'll keep our promise.

Lu Mingze's tone seemed to carry a hint of helplessness.

"Of course, my friend, I am a true hero."

Chen Hong smiled broadly and gave a thumbs up.

Lu Mingze rolled his eyes and looked at the sky with a somewhat desolate expression.

Chen Hong ignored Lu Mingze and teleported away, disappearing from his spot and reappearing on the other side of the earth.

They began to digest the Black King's abilities, integrate the Black King's bloodline and authority, and excavate the power of words within the Black King's bloodline.

【Word Power Emperor: The beginning of all Word Powers, the first in the sequence list.】

It has no practical effect, but it will cause an absolute mental shock to the bonded dragons and hybrids within the area.

It can be seen as a call from bloodline, or as an amplified version of "dragon's might," capable of completely suppressing the opponent with mere majesty.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Nidhogg's territory was so vast that it covered the whole of Europe and even parts of Asia.

His low growl from the throne, the power of his words, swept across the European continent, across the Ural Mountains, and wherever he went, the descendants of the dragons knelt in worship towards the throne.

After Nidhogg's fall, there is no complete version of this Word of Power, but it can still be used by high-ranking dragons, and certain alchemical devices can also produce similar effects.

Ineffective against pure humans, individuals with extremely weak bloodlines unable to awaken, and descendants of the White King.

【Word of Power: Bloodline Binding: The caster enhances their sensitivity to bloodlines, searching for people with dragon blood in a vast space.】

When this power is released, what is first awakened is the bloodline of the releaser, who attempts to resonate with the surrounding dragons and hybrids to locate them.

The caster can experience mystical visions, seeing themselves connected to other individuals with dragon blood by red threads, even if the other party is far away or obscured.

The more powerful an individual is, the easier it is to be discovered. However, some individuals are powerful enough to hide themselves and isolate themselves from resonance. Even more powerful individuals can use bloodline resonance to kill the releaser. When the releaser uses the power of words, their mind is defenseless.

Therefore, this spell is disabled when facing a Dragon King-level target at close range.

Scientific instruments and alchemical machinery can enhance this perception, expanding the area of ​​observation to a city or even larger, but this could cause the releaser to quickly enter a state of exhaustion.

The name comes from the red threads seen in the visions; the releaser seems to be being pulled along by many red threads.

【Word of Power: Royal Chosen Servant: Within the caster's domain, companions chosen by him will receive a short-term physical enhancement, the upper limit of which can reach the limits of the human body.】

The Walter Alheim Research Institute has tested individuals enhanced by the "Royal Chosen Ones," and their endocrine systems were significantly boosted in a short period of time, especially with a large secretion of adrenaline, and a noticeable increase in heart rate and blood flow.

Endorphins and dopamine in the brain are also secreted more rapidly, which significantly reduces their perception of pain. In the most extreme cases, the enhanced individuals may even temporarily lose all sense of pain.

Offense and destructiveness will also be significantly enhanced, but usually not to the point of "indiscriminate killing," "madness," or "brutal slaughter." Among the various incantations that boost combat power, this is relatively mild.

This power can also be applied to non-human targets, such as pure-blooded dragons or even beasts, but its effect is limited on pure-blooded dragons because their brains and physical abilities have already been developed to the extreme.

This spell has a certain controlling effect. When used on neutral and benevolent targets, it will cause the targets to instinctively obey the caster, but it is ineffective against some highly hostile targets.

Despite its low serial number, it is a very effective ability on the battlefield. Among the holders of this power, there are many who can boost the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire legion.

The aftereffects include the fact that the enhanced individual has actually overdrawn their physical strength, and will be in a state of weakness for several days after the enhancement ends. If the individual is enhanced multiple times in a short period of time, there is a risk of sudden death.

The name of this incantation means "the servant chosen by the king," and it's worth mentioning that the namer specifically referred to that great scientist, who was also one of the most famous alchemists and mystics of his time.

In simple terms, the Royal Selection Attendant is similar to a berserk spell that temporarily boosts strength. It can be applied to a group of troops, temporarily increasing morale and combat power, but it has the side effect of overdrawing physical strength or even causing sudden death.

【Word of Power - Time Zero: This word of power is possibly the most difficult to understand among known word of power, even though its serial number is not very high.】

According to current theories, all incantations are achieved by controlling some kind of element, and since there is no element of time among these elements, the incantation seems to be able to manipulate time.

The caster constructs a domain centered on themselves, within which time flows more slowly (at least to their own perception), while they can still move at a normal pace. Therefore, to outsiders, their speed appears to be several times or even dozens of times faster. Because the caster is always at the center of their domain, this power can be considered to have no concept of "boundaries."

It puts a tremendous strain on the body of the one who releases it, usually lasting only a few seconds, but those few seconds are enough for an assassin to kill his opponent.

Those who wield this power are usually top-tier assassins. With the aid of physical training, their movement speed can be more than a hundred times that of ordinary people, and their movement is even like teleportation.

The naming principle is unknown, and the discoverer has not provided an explanation. A surprising legend is that the discoverer had no dragon blood and did not directly observe the release of this incantation; he derived it using mathematical methods.

Legend has it that monks in the Himalayas can acquire a mystical ability called "Kalachakra" through practice, which can also manipulate the flow of time. However, to date, there is no clear evidence to prove a connection between "Kalachakra" and "time zero."

Having obtained the Word of Zero, combined with the Word of Moment of Extreme Speed, Chen Hong's combat speed will increase dramatically, making him invincible from the start, and his attack power and threat level will also increase significantly.

【Word of Power - Discipline: The caster creates a field centered on themselves, suppressing the Word of Power abilities of all dragons and hybrids within that field.

This power is of a very high level, even capable of suppressing weaker pure-blooded dragons. Therefore, it is of great practical use in dragon slaying. However, unfortunately, most holders of this power cannot maintain their domain for long periods of time, and the range of the domain is extremely limited.

It's not hard to understand that true high-level dragons and high-level incantations cannot be completely suppressed by "commandments," but "commandments" still have the potential to weaken their effects.

The naming principle is self-evident; just as monks must abide by their precepts, entering the realm of this incantation is tantamount to having one's weapon removed.

With the Word of Power: Discipline, Chen Hong can suppress or even seal the Word of Power of others in battle with a single thought, forming a powerful suppressive force and dominance.

Any mixed-race individuals or dragons whose bloodline is inferior to Chen Hong's are inherently at a disadvantage when facing him.

【Word of Power - Rhine: The strongest Word of Power of the Dragon Clan, far stronger than the world-destroying Word of Power of the Four Sovereigns】

After a long period of meditation and chanting, the releaser activates all four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire within a vast area.

First, it creates an extreme imbalance, which then causes intense and unstable elemental turbulence.

These terrifying turbulent flows of elements press against each other, and when this pressure becomes as strong as that of the star's surface, flash melting reactions between the elements begin to occur.

This is one of the ultimate chain reactions in alchemy; once it begins, it will only end when all the elements in the area are exhausted.

The preparation time for this incantation is extremely long, depending on the caster's bloodline and abilities. Sometimes the preparation time can last for several days or even months, but for powerful figures like Chen Hong and the Black King, the preparation time for the incantation is very short.

During this period, the area centered on the releaser was constantly filled with violent elemental turbulence.

The Rhine eruption also triggers a special "breathing" effect, which means that after the elements within the field are exhausted, it will strongly absorb elements from the surrounding space to replenish them. If the temperature in the area is still very high at that time, it will trigger a secondary explosion or even a series of explosions.

When this breathing effect becomes strong enough, the entire field will collapse into an elemental black hole.

The releaser of Rhine is also not immune to his own Word of Power. The temperature at the center of the explosion point is close to that of a star's core. He will be vaporized or even atomized the moment he detonates the Word of Power. Therefore, the owner of the Word of Power can usually only release it once in his lifetime, with exceptions for those who are strong enough to withstand the temperature of a star's core and survive.

The only confirmed Rhineland eruption is the Tunguska event in Siberia in 1908. Suspected cases include the "divine arrows" used in the divine war described in the Indian epic Mahabharata, the instantaneous destruction of the ancient Indian city of Mohenjo-daro, and the burning of Sodom by God, among others.

A common misconception is that the light and flame produced by this incantation during the Tunguska event were visible from as far as the Rhine River, hence the name "Rhine".

However, the name of this "word of power" is actually based on the first act, "Das Rheingold," of Wagner's opera *Der Ring des Nibelungen*. The dwarf Alberlich, tricked by the Rhine nymphs, angrily abandons love and steals the magic gold from the bottom of the Rhine, forging a doomed curse.

Having mastered this super world-destroying incantation, Chen Hong's maximum attack limit in a world with elements has been raised to an even more monstrous level of world-destroying power than the strongest hydrogen bomb.

If they were willing to keep attacking day after day, they could bomb the entire surface of the earth and completely destroy human civilization.

After mastering the Black King's Word of Power, Chen Hong arrived at the World Tree Ruins.

At this time, the World Tree was unable to absorb geothermal energy to convert elements because its main root had been cut off.

Therefore, the World Tree automatically curled up and returned to its original form, becoming a giant World Tree Seed, hiding itself and waiting for the victorious new Black King to restart the World Tree system and begin the next cycle.

The winner of this competition, the Black King, is naturally Chen Hong.

Chen Hong has gathered all the Dragon King's authority, and Lu Mingze's authority has also been transferred to him.

Now that Chen Hong has 100% control over the World Tree, he has begun refining the enormous World Tree seed.

After completely refining the World Tree seed, Chen Hong replanted it on Earth, restarting the World Tree system.

The World Tree seed sprouted and grew rapidly, becoming a new, extremely tall World Tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.
