Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 388 The True Master

"Got it!"

One of the two young men from the Morgan family who made the move felt a strong resonance with Han Sufang as he recited the incantation, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

With a gentle pinch of his fingers, the endless crisscrossing power lines in the streets of Lin Yuan City beneath his feet snapped automatically, like flying hair intertwined with the city's dazzling lights and shadows, or like the intertwined tentacles of some strange creature.

He slowly lifted his feet, actually stepping on the flying power lines as he walked towards Han Su.

His figure appeared both real and illusory amidst the flashing lightning and dazzling light and shadow. The ferocious monster beneath his feet was both savage and docile, looking as if it were a god descended to earth.

His movements were slow and deliberate, as if he did not believe that Han Su had any chance of resisting at this moment.

At this moment, Han Su simply stood still, only frowning as he glanced at the black briefcase in his hand.

The blood inside had been boiling for a long time, filled with a restless and unsettling atmosphere.

Originally, he could easily manipulate this blood with a single thought, even transforming it into various different shapes. But now, it has become estranged from him and is completely out of his control.

This makes one wonder what would happen if this blood were inside a human body.

So, is this also a manifestation of the Morgan family's immense power?
"The most legendary young man in the Eastern Continent, a star investigator from the bottom of society, a thief of bronze script power, who built a portal between reality and illusion in an attempt to communicate with history, and threatened a city with a time-space weapon, gathering all those with bronze script authority..."

The young man with blond hair walked slowly to Han Su's side, stepping on the swaying power lines, and casually recited all of Han Su's information:

"Of course, more importantly, you have another identity: a survivor of the Divine Descent Project, a bloodline of the freakish Doctor and the whale race, the crazy little guy who dared to use the Living Bronze Puppet to attack a Tier 1 city..."

He wasn't much older than Han Su, but he spoke with an air of superiority, carrying a condescending mockery:

"Didn't you expect that you would be captured so easily?"

"..."

As he spoke, he had already approached Han Su, his smile growing even more delighted. With a flick of his finger, strands of flying cables wrapped around Han Su's body. He sighed softly and said, "Because you simply don't understand what true power that transcends this world really is!"

"The mysterious power you're chasing is nothing more than bait we've laid out..."

"..."

"Sizzle..."

These cables were about to bind Han Su, and his words weren't even meant to undermine Han Su's confidence, but rather to announce something.

But Han Su suddenly looked up at him and smiled, "What did you catch?"

"Ok?"

The blond-haired young man paused for a moment, his expression even showing a look of astonishment.

The next moment, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately raised his hand again. The air around him seemed to distort because of his movement, and an even more powerful and subtle force permeated the air.

Inside Han Su's suitcase, the boiling of the bronze blood reached a new height, the violent power seemingly about to tear the suitcase apart.

However, the suitcase was made of a special material, and Han Su's mental strength was so great that he still held the suitcase firmly, letting the bronze blood run rampant in vain.

Taking advantage of this moment, Han Su suddenly leaped off the Nightmare Horse, his figure flashing as he arrived in front of the blond young man, almost face to face. He reached out with his left hand, and a cross-shaped copper scar appeared on the back of his hand.

"how is this possible?"

The blond young man only had time to let out a shout before he flipped his hands and grabbed at Han Su.

Beneath his exquisitely tailored cuffs, prominent bronze lines appeared on his wrists, indicating that he possessed far greater strength than Han Su.

Han Su had become accustomed to solving problems with his cross-shaped bronze hands, but this was the first time he had encountered a bronze script opponent who was superior to him in both quality and strength.

So he immediately changed his strategy. The cross-shaped copper scar on the back of his hand faded, replaced by patches of burn marks, and he grabbed the blond young man's wrist hard.

The next moment, the burn scars seemed to come alive, flowing rapidly onto the other person's body through the physical contact, spreading in large patches.

It was one of the powers he brought from the ancient castle, the "Hellfire" that he hadn't used in a long time.

"you……"

The blond young man screamed, his face contorted in pain, and his mental strength was rapidly diminished.

Hellfire, one of the monsters from the ancient castle, Princess Mononoke.

It can inflict a strong psychological attack on the opponent.

If the opponent's mental strength is weak, then the solution is to directly make them feel the pain of being burned, thus attacking their mental will.

If the opponent's mental strength is strong, then continuously burn away their mental strength, weakening their mental strength layer by layer.

This is a power that Han Su mastered not long after entering the mysterious circle. However, with the improvement of his spiritual level, spiritual activity, and most importantly, his life level, the effects he exhibits are naturally different.

Of course, to the blond young man, all of this seemed extremely absurd. He didn't understand why Han Su could move, or why he suddenly switched to a different sequence method.

Faced with the young man's roar, Han Su directly picked up where he left off, his voice tinged with curiosity: "How did you do that?"

He slightly moved the briefcase in his hand, letting the boiling blood gushing out of it, while staring at the young man and asking, "The most powerful force of the Bronze Script Sequence is actually the ability to directly control the blood of a human body?"

"No, it's not that simple..."

He spoke as if he were guessing, but every word he uttered was very clear: "Shouldn't it be about controlling the blood of those in the Bronze Sequence? Is it that the higher one climbs in the Bronze Sequence, the easier it is for them to be controlled by your incantations?"

"..."

Hellfire, while burning away at the opponent's spiritual power and causing intense pain, is also a form of spiritual invasion.

If Han Su asks these questions face-to-face at this moment, it will make the other party subconsciously recall the answers to these questions. Taking advantage of the other party's weak mental strength, Han Su can extract the answers he wants from the other party's confused mind.

The other party's methods piqued his curiosity.

The young man from the Morgan family immediately sensed the blood he had left in the briefcase and felt a resonance with it.

He didn't know the blood came from someone else; he assumed it was his own and thought he was completely under their control, so he swaggered over.

Essentially, he was just an inexperienced nobleman who made a foolish mistake in front of me, but I must admit that the power he displayed was indeed frightening.

No wonder they regard all Bronze Sequence Transcendents as their servants.

With this power, even if the powerful priests of the Bronze Script Church came from the White Wax Mountain area, they would be completely restrained.

"Your power foundation isn't actually the Bronze Script sequence?"

While Han Su was concentrating on finding the answer in the blond young man's head, Shen Qinghui behind him was taken aback. At this moment, an extremely complicated emotion rose in her heart, and she didn't know whether to be happy or ashamed.

Because the intelligence Han Su obtained based on the bronze script sequence was itself investigated and disseminated by her and Voodoo.

Han Su's performance at this moment far exceeded her expectations. Theoretically, once a superhuman reaches the point where they can delve into the abyss, it is impossible for them to possess two abnormal sequences at the same time. This is an ironclad rule.

Even if this person is related to the legendary "emperor," this principle still needs to be followed. But at this point, the facts only show that the information she conveyed was utterly wrong.

"How could the Morgan family have such a foolish child?"

On the other side, the elders of the Morgan family were observing the situation in the city, but they never expected that trouble would arise right from the start. In their haste, they didn't even have time to analyze why Han Su hadn't been captured, and they quickly began chanting incantations.

The incantation he chanted was the same as that of the blond young man, but their control over it was on a completely different level.

In an instant, the air was filled with visible electric sparks.

The copper-colored blood flowing from Han Su's briefcase had already soared into the air, transforming into a twisted and bizarre weapon. Even the young man controlled by Han Su couldn't help but scream, and fine, strange copper-colored substances seeped from his pores, resonating with and even merging with the copper blood suspended in the air.

"Sizzle" "Sizzle" "Sizzle"

These substances even transformed into sharp, fine blades in the blink of an eye, rapidly slicing towards Han Su's body.

"It's not about directly controlling a person's blood..."

At this moment, Han Su found the answer he was looking for, quickly let go and retreated, looking surprised.

He found the source of the Morgan family's confidence.

The Morgan family does not control human blood, but rather a strange substance within the human body called the mechanical factor.

Before the reconstruction of civilization, the Pale Hurricane, one of the ten great natural disasters, swept across the world, and those who were hit by it suffered from the breakage and collapse of their genetic chains.

This hurricane was unstoppable and unavoidable, posing an unprecedented risk to the survival of the human race.

At that time, it was the scholars of the Bronze Sequence who used the power of the Bronze Sequence to create this mechanical factor, repairing the genetic chains of those human survivors, enabling them to survive the Pale Hurricane and reproduce and grow stronger generation after generation.

But this mechanical factor has thus remained in the human bloodline, passed down from generation to generation.

This is the Morgan family's most powerful weapon.

They possess the power to activate and manipulate this mechanical factor, so they consider themselves superior to all humans.

Because this mechanical factor is related to the power of the Bronze Sequence, such mechanical factors are more active and stronger in extraordinary individuals with the Bronze Sequence. However, the more active and stronger they are, the more susceptible they are to the influence of the Morgan family's secret incantations.

No wonder they're so aloof; they can kill anyone at any time.

Even though Han Su doesn't belong to the true bronze script sequence, his body still possesses this mechanical factor, albeit a weaker one.

Ordinary members of the Morgan family are not capable of activating these factors. If they were to take control of the relic and recite incantations within a certain range, even Han Su at this moment would be immediately subject to their control and threats.

"But does the Morgan family truly have complete control over the bronze inscription sequence, leaving no chance for outsiders?"

After realizing the terror of the Morgan family, Han Su was surprised not to feel afraid, but instead a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

It seems that the Morgan family immediately subdued the Living Bronze Puppet and suppressed everyone as soon as they appeared, but in reality, what they truly restrained was only a phantom they left on the surface!
This sense of control exists, but I always feel that it's not as strong as I thought...

As he thought this, he darted back and mounted Nightmare again.

Faced with the bronze-colored blood, or rather, the mechanical factors rushing towards his face, his pupils contracted slightly as a sudden mental shock struck him.

Faced with the powerful mental impact, these mechanical components momentarily froze and fell to the ground.

This is the benefit of having a strong spirit. Mechanical factors are indeed terrifying, but a strong spirit can temporarily deactivate them, thus eliminating their lethality as weapons.

The next moment, Han Su spurred his Nightmare Horse and charged straight toward Jinshui Manor, seemingly to seize the Golden Spear.

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, the old man from the Morgan family became even more enraged, feeling a sense of rage that the situation was spiraling out of control. He raised both hands at the same time, and the sound of incantations echoed through the city.

The living bronze puppets scattered throughout the Jinshui Manor below simultaneously lit up with eerie red light on their snake heads, locking onto Han Su's charging figure. They suddenly spat out thick streams of copper rust, then swayed their bodies as they attacked Han Su.

“I used the bronze altar as a source of power to control these bronze statues, and their authority was easily seized…”

Facing this heavy and frenzied attack, Han Su stretched out his palm and whispered:
"Twenty-seven lives, all must be paid for with blood!"

"..."

This time, he no longer relied on the power of the bronze altar, but directly recited the code he had designed earlier.

Because this code was applied after the living bronze puppet was restrained by the fisherman's chant, theoretically, this spell is equivalent to the power of the fisherman's chant. Han Su tested this power because he remembered the words of the eccentric doctor on Life Line 04.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

When Han Su recited this incantation, he was only trying it out.

But a strange effect suddenly appeared: after hearing the incantation recited by Han Su, the twenty-two living bronze puppets instantly malfunctioned.

Whether it was the copper rust spitting out of their mouths or the pounce of the creatures, everything stopped abruptly, and some even fell to the ground due to inertia. But the next moment, they jumped up without hesitation and turned around.

Like a loyal warrior, they chose to serve their master without hesitation.

"Twenty-seven lives, all must be paid for with blood..."

Not only that, as Han Su’s incantation spread, even the three huge metal pillars outside Lin Yuan City dimmed for a moment, as if the power flowing on them had suddenly short-circuited.

A few seconds later, the circuit was reconnected, and the metal pillars were emitting a dazzling light. Three figures could be vaguely seen appearing on the top of the three pillars.

"what's the situation?"

The sudden scene stunned even the old man from the Morgan family, his hands trembling violently.

"Who changed the underlying password?"

"..."

“You not only underestimated that man, but you also underestimated me and my child…”

On the other side, Ms. Shen completely ignored the living bronze puppet attacking her. After realizing the intentions of the patrolling knight, Sanbailou, she only felt a sense of mockery.

She sensed Han Su's counterattack, which turned the tables on her, and felt admiration in her heart, but she didn't have the energy to understand how he did it. She simply closed her eyes slightly and felt the flow of spiritual energy throughout the city.

After a brief three seconds, she slowly opened her eyes, and with a flick of her fingers, she stirred up invisible threads.

"Gab!"

Her movements were gentle, but her mental tendrils tightened instantly, plunging the entire city into a profound daze.

The intricate and complex spiritual power was forcibly extracted, causing the entire city to fall into a brief standstill.

"That is……"

This familiar feeling stunned many people in Lin Yuan City, who were somewhat incredulous: "A divine realm of consciousness?"

"It's not already..."

"..."

Amidst this utter astonishment, Ms. Shen slowly rose to her feet. Previously, through calculation, she had given Han Su coordinates to destroy, which was tantamount to destroying the Xu family's most powerful weapon in Lin Yuan City, thus causing the invasion of the Traveling Knights and the Morgan family.

She seemed to have been thoroughly used, but even Han Su didn't know that she also had strong ambitions and methods.

While Han Su was destroying the Divine Kingdom of Consciousness, she was setting up her own markings.

For every one Han Su destroyed, she would arrange another.

Now, the consciousness kingdom of Lin Yuan City has indeed been destroyed, but she has the ability to temporarily recreate the consciousness kingdom. Although it only has about 30% of the power of the real consciousness kingdom, it is enough for this time.

Now, she is the true master of this city.

As she activated this temporary divine kingdom of consciousness, she turned slightly and looked at one of the three enormous metal divine pillars outside Lin Yuan City, where a figure stood atop it.

His gaze was devoid of joy or sorrow, his calmness suppressing all pain and hatred.
