A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 270 Two Emperors Appear Together
At the same time that Kassel College was holding a top-level meeting, other hybrid factions were also urgently discussing the Black King's resurrection.

No force dared to disregard the supreme power of the Dragon Clan.

Legend has it that Nidhogg, the Black King, will surely return. He is despair and hell, and he will use his wings, covered with human bones, to blot out the sky and turn their beautiful planet into a desolate, red wasteland.

Faced with such a life-or-death matter, everyone took the most serious attitude and voluntarily lowered their bottom line.

For example, in the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Genjiro had no time to deal with the internal traitors. He urgently convened a meeting of the family heads at the family's Awakening Temple, and even openly violated the family's discipline by inviting Tachibana Masamune, who had resigned due to keeping treacherous servants.

For the Snake-Headed Eight Families, this was unacceptable. Openly raising undead servants was no different from the demons of the Fierce Demon Clan that the Snake-Headed Eight Families had been hunting down.
They are even worse than the ghosts of the Fierce Ghost Clan!

We spared his life only because of his hard work and the protection of Minamoto no Chisei. How can we allow Tachibana Masamune to rejoin the decision-making level of the Snake-Headed Eight Families?
With the Black King's resurrection imminent, and everyone potentially facing his doomsday, who cares about anything else?

Therefore, the other family heads did not say anything unnecessary. The situation was urgent, so they could not worry about anything else.
More people mean more strength, and besides, Tachibana Masamune is a smart man; he might come up with some brilliant ideas that they wouldn't expect.

Sitting next to Genjiro, Tachibana Masamune put on a great performance, bowing his head with a look of shame on his face and making a dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling gesture) with his hands on the ground: "I'm very sorry, I didn't have any thoughts about it."

Genjiro quickly turned to the side and helped Tachibana Masamune up: "Father, don't say that. That's the Black King Nidhogg. There's nothing anyone can do about it."

After calming Tachibana Masamune down, Genjiro paused for a moment, then resolutely raised his head: "Eri and I will go there. No matter what, we cannot let Nidhogg hatch!"

"We must, we must kill this supreme being while he is in his cocoon! Otherwise... otherwise we will all die."

"As for the position of patriarch, if I am not able to return, then please... the head of the Fengmo family will succeed me."

Upon hearing this, the heads of the five outer families could no longer remain silent. Fuma Kotaro vehemently refused: "No! Head of the family, you are the Emperor, the only Emperor who can lead the Snake-Headed Eight Families forward!"

"You are the banner for all of us. As long as the banner stands, the Snake-Headed Eight Families can unite closely under its banner. If you fall, the banner will not exist, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families will not exist either!"

Inuyama Kazuya chimed in, "Yes, Brother Fuma is right. Brother Fuma and I are both getting old. There's no point in these old bones of ours staying in this world. We might as well go for the sake of our patriarch."

Yuan Zhisheng was both moved and saddened. He was moved by the righteousness and concern of the two family heads, but saddened that they had worked hard all their lives and still wanted to go to the battlefield in his place. How could this be?

"You two, there's no need to persuade me further. I've made up my mind." Although Genjiro's appearance was delicate and beautiful, when he got serious, his face revealed a hint of fortitude.

If the Emperor's Word of Power can be felt in the capital, how could Tokyo, which is closer to the Pacific Ocean, not feel it?

Before the meeting, Genji had already gone to the server room of the artificial intelligence Kaguya-hime to check the status of each family head three hours earlier.

Thanks to the investigation into the mole some time ago, all the family heads consciously kept themselves under surveillance during working hours and did not wander around.

Therefore, when Genji learned that he himself did not feel much when facing the Word Power Emperor, but the two old men, Inuyama He and Fuma Kotaro, were overwhelmed by the Word Power Emperor.

Under such circumstances, how could Genjiro allow the two elderly people to go in his place?

Even at such a great distance, the two elderly people were already suppressed like this by the Words of Power Emperor. What would happen if they got closer?
Rather than making the Inuyama and Fuuma families make pointless sacrifices, it would be better to send him and Erii, who are capable of withstanding the Word Power Emperor, from the beginning.

"No, the Snake Clan cannot lose the imperial bloodline. Please, Elder, think it over."

"If all else fails, let me take all the middle-aged members of my clan, along with my old friends, with me. I only ask that the patriarch stay and take care of my clan."

"Or perhaps only one member of the royal bloodline will be dispatched? What if, what if..."

While the other family heads were pleading with him, a sinister glint flashed in Tachibana Masamune's eyes. Damn it! The Black King? The Black King!
Why choose this particular time to recover? Why not at any other time?
Given enough time, he can find the traces of God and become a god!

However, the resurgence of Nidhogg the Black King has ruined all of Tachibana Masamune's plans, and now that kid Genjiro is thinking of taking Erii with him.

How could this be? Erii is the most important filter for Tachibana Masamune to steal the power of the gods. What if Erii dies in the Black King's incubation ground?
There will never be another Erii in the world.

Driven by his own ambitions, Tachibana Masamune had to temporarily change his plans: "Chisei, don't rush. I... I think we can speed things up and search for the traces of the gods."

"Originally, we sought the burial ground of the gods in order to bury them completely and end the fate that had been entangled in our Snake-Headed Eight Families for over a thousand years."

"But things are different now. Facing the Black King Nidhogg, you need power, and you need the power of God."

"Let's find God quickly and figure out a way to help you obtain God's power."

"In this way, we can both bury God and give you the power of God to deal with the Black King."

Having raised Genjiro for so many years, Tachibana Masamune knew him all too well. He knew that once this boy got carried away, he would recklessly head over heels, and such a stubborn person couldn't be pulled back by even nine oxen. The plan had to be accelerated; there was no time to worry about anything else now. Stealing the power of the gods was the priority; there was no time to take things slowly.

If things slow down and Erii is lost, Tachibana Masamune will lose all hope of further godhood, which is something he absolutely cannot accept.

If he's lucky, he might be able to steal the power of the gods before the Black King revives, and thus survive this Black King apocalypse!
However, things didn't go as planned, and Yuan Zhisheng still refused to agree: "Dad, listen to me."

"Nobody knows when the Black King will emerge from his cocoon and return. We have no idea about the supreme power of that Black Emperor."

"The only way to kill him is while he is still an embryo and unable to resist. Once we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance again once the Black King hatches."

“Dad.” At this point, Yuan Zhisheng sighed, a hint of sadness appearing on his face: “We don’t have time.”

Tachibana Masamune was speechless, secretly resentful.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say it, because Genjiro's personality meant that his mind couldn't be changed by just a few words.

Fuma Kotaro swayed as he stood up, gripping his sword in his right hand: "How about this, patriarch, stay here and guard against the Oni Clan's sneak attacks."

"I will personally accompany the head of the Uesugi family on this trip. This would be the best of both worlds."

Erii Uesugi is also a royal-level hybrid, even stronger than Genjiro, and has always been regarded as the most core trump card by the Snake Clan.

With the world on the verge of collapse, the key is to deal with the Black King and survive. As for things like hiding the secret of the royal bloodline or worrying about Erii losing control, these are insignificant compared to the Black King's resurgence.

Not worth mentioning.

"No, it's more appropriate for Erii and me to go. Erii only trusts me, not you..."

"As for the Oni Clan that the Fuuma Clan Head just mentioned, I'll leave them to you clan heads." Genji lowered his head guiltily, as if trying to see through the multi-story building to see Erii.

I feel so sorry for my sister, but if we are to deal with the Black King Nidhogg, Erii's Word of Power: Judgment is indispensable.

Thinking of this, Genji finally stood up and strode outside: "The Snake-Head Eight Families will be temporarily handed over to the head of the Fuma family."

After leaving the Shinshin-ji Temple, which is built within Genji Heavy Industries, they took a special elevator to Erii's floor.

Using his privileges and key, he opened the door, which was equivalent to a bank vault, and found Erii reading a book.

Reading? When did Erii start liking reading? Didn't she only like games and anime?

Genjiro paused, feeling even more disheartened. It seemed he really wasn't a good older brother, whether to the young girl or Erii.

They didn't even know that Erii's recent preferences had changed.

"?" Erii heard the noise and thought it was Sakurai Takashi, but when she looked up, she saw that it was Genjiro. She opened her mouth, then remembered that her ability to speak was a secret. Xu Jun had told her that she had to keep it from her brother.

Listen to what Xu Jun says.

Erii shut up, put down her book, and started looking for her increasingly neglected notebook and pen.

Genji hesitated for a few seconds before recovering. He couldn't hesitate any longer; hadn't he already made up his mind to defeat the Black King?

With unwavering resolve, Genjiro approached Erii and knelt opposite his younger sister: "Erii, do you know the Black King? A very, very dangerous monster that wants to destroy this beautiful world."

"Brother will take you to kill it, okay?"

"!" What Black King? It's clearly an incubator faked by our church!
Erii's deep rose-colored eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Finally, she had the chance to openly go find everyone and play together. She instinctively wanted to say "yes," but she stopped herself in time and kept nodding.

Genjiro didn't have the slightest doubt, only thinking that Erii was excited about the outside world and couldn't wait to go out and play, completely unaware of the Black King's terror.

That won't do. If you just think you're going to have fun, you might carelessly lose your life. Therefore, Genji seriously explained the horror of the Black King to Erii.

Erii was getting bored. Her brother was really something; she knew far more about how dangerous that hatchery was than he did.
