A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 272 A New Batch of Extraordinary Items

The Black King was too terrifying. Just by speaking the Word "Emperor," he caused the mixed-race people of many factions to put aside their past grievances, unite, and exchange resources.

For example, the Secret Party did not hide its nuclear mission from any faction this time. It publicly announced it and asked various factions for help to explain to other countries, so as to avoid the countries nuking each other before the Black King returned.

Therefore, all parties are paying close attention to the Peruvian Party's nuclear explosion this time. Those with the capability have even mobilized satellites to monitor Bello Island.

Those forces unable to develop satellites could only anxiously wait by the phone for news from the Secret Service.

However, as soon as the phone rang, news of the failure—the failure of the nuclear test, or even the failure of a double nuclear test—spread to all the parties in the meeting immediately.

The major powers had originally planned to hold the meeting while waiting for news from North America.

People always have a sense of complacency, and the major powers thought that Black King might be wiped out by a nuclear bomb.

In this way, they don't have to rack their brains to continue holding meetings and discussions, but can buy groceries and wine on the spot and hold a celebration banquet instead.

Unfortunately, the news of the failed nuclear test swept through the global mixed-race community like a cold hurricane, chilling the slightly hopeful and warm hearts of all mixed-race individuals.

The Tamoan family of South America: "We will all die. No one can escape the final judgment of that emperor! Even nuclear weapons are useless. We are no match for the Black King!"

The chiefs of six major African tribes argued endlessly: "Dig tunnels? Impossible! We can't escape that way. If we want to survive, we have to fight now!"

The various mixed-race families in Southeast Asia united: "Hurry, everyone! The Black King is only an embryo right now; we can't give it any more time!"

All the mixed-race factions in the world were holding a meeting, and the Old Ones were naturally gathering as well.

Today is Monday, the weekly gathering time, and above the gray fog, all the members have gathered.

Upon arriving at the temple again, Chu Zihang turned around gratefully and looked at Xu Lie on his left, his eyes filled with thanks.

He said that recently Principal Angers has been giving him a lot of power, almost letting him control half of the executive department.

They were also able to help him withstand the pressure from Professor Schneider and keep giving him tasks; it turned out that the church was helping him behind the scenes.

Upon hearing Mr. Error's message from Susie, Chu Zihang sincerely thanked Mr. Error, a fellow believer.

Xu Lie nodded kindly in response to Chu Zihang. Before he could say anything, Bao Lie spoke first.

This time, Fortress rarely praised him: "You did a great job this time. There are already quite a few hybrids in the world who believe that the Black King Hatchery is on Bellow Island."

"They even resorted to using nuclear weapons for this."

"Such actions have already stirred up quite a few small ripples in the long river of fate. If this continues, I will be able to pinpoint the location of the Black King's true incubation site in as little as six months."

"The gathering will be temporarily suspended for the next six months. It will resume after I have secured the position of Black King. To do so, I will inform you in advance of the potion materials and rituals for the next sequence."

This was Xu Lie's arrangement, and it was also to avoid having to hold a meeting during the advancement ceremony of the Destiny Trojan Horse, which would interfere with the ceremony.

Faced with Mr. Fool's praise, members like Fingel, who had truly contributed, shared both honor and disgrace, and felt great satisfaction.

Aso Makoto, Erii, Nuwa, Chu Zihang, and others who were unable to help lowered their heads somewhat awkwardly, not daring to take credit.

As for the issue of suspending the gathering for six months, Mr. Fool did this in order to find out where the Black King is hiding, which everyone can understand.

“There’s no need for that.” Bao Lie sat at the head of the table, easily taking in everyone’s reactions: “Those members who couldn’t contribute to the setup and faking of the venue still have a chance.”

"This time, all forces will definitely gather on Bello Island. At that time, you can secretly guide them."

After offering his words of encouragement, Bao Lie leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "You can talk freely now."

Chu Zihang was the first to raise his hand, stood up, bowed his head and apologized: "I am very sorry, Mr. Fool, I was unable to help in this mission of faking the incubator, and I am ashamed of the cultivation you and the church have given me."

"With all forces gathered on Bello Island this time, I will serve the church and do my utmost to ensure that the hybrids believe that the Black King is hatching."

Chu Zihang's main principle is honesty. Ever since Mr. Fool offered to help with the divination of Odin, he has completely sided with the Church. He felt guilty for not being able to help with such an important task.

His words made Nuwa on the other side feel a little uncomfortable. Strictly speaking, this warrior hadn't helped much in setting up and faking the hatchery.

If the Zhou family hadn't continuously spread anxiety about the Black King's resurgence among various factions and desperately stirred up trouble, Nuwa might have had to stand up and apologize.

"It's alright." Bao Lie resisted the urge to look at the real body. Because of Susie's request, Xu Lie had indeed talked to Bao Lie about this matter.

Moreover, as he just said, various forces will gather on Bello Island in the future, and the members can secretly guide them.

"Thank you for your understanding." Chu Zihang's eyes became even more determined. It just so happened that the schemer possessed the extraordinary ability to bewitch, guide, and incite others. He was determined to complete this mission no matter what.

If possible, I might even be able to complete the promotion ceremony during this mission!
Seeing Chu Zihang sit down, Aso Makoto across from him asked curiously, "How did you guys do that?"

"When the Word Power Emperor swept through Tokyo, many mixed-race people within the church were in very poor condition. I used some medicine to help them recover."

When the topic of Word Power Emperor was mentioned, Fingel chuckled: "It's not difficult. I used my extraordinary abilities to learn and analyze the recording of Word Power Emperor."

"Then I asked Senior Norton, oh, the King of Bronze and Fire, to help purify the materials and we worked together to create a thousand nested alchemical matrices that expand the range of Word of Power."

"And that's how we created an effect that rivals the original Black King's Word of Power: Emperor."

Alchemy can achieve this level of skill? That's impressive! After asking his question, Asou Makoto turned to Bao Lie: "Mr. Fool, shall our Tokyo parish participate in this operation?"

"Since we went public, the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families took the initiative to visit me. I managed to extract some maritime profits from them, and now I have ocean-going vessels that can go to Bello Island."

Xu Lie looked at Aso Makoto in surprise. He was a little surprised that the simple girl who used to be frugal and only wanted to go to university could now get things from Genjiro.
This growth is...surprisingly good.

Erii looked up blankly. Her older sister had blackmailed her brother? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell her?

Nuwa, who was already sitting on the candle after Chu Zihang stood up to apologize, quickly raised her hand as well: "Our Zhou family, oh, and the Bai family too, will all bring their clansmen to help."

Considering the ritual requirements of the main body, Bao Lie quickly agreed: "No problem."

"Provide the safety of the old temple and prevent it from being attacked, you may take some believers and tribesmen to Bello Island."

Nuwa wasn't worried about this at all. At this point, the local forces would definitely prioritize dealing with the Black King incident and were unlikely to launch a sneak attack on the Zhou family and the Old Temple.

Moreover, it hasn't been long since Nuwa flexed her muscles. No one would dare to provoke the Zhou family at this time.

Aso Shin is facing some minor troubles. The Snake Clan certainly won't clash with the Old Church at this critical juncture, but the corrupt madmen of the Demon Clan are a different story.

The feud between the Tokyo Diocese and the Demon Clan runs deep. Every now and then, Aso Shin would lead a team to cause trouble for the Demon Clan, either by poaching their members or by robbing the Demon Clan's laboratory of dragon blood materials.

If too many believers are taken away, the old temple may be overrun by the demons; if too few believers are taken away, they will not be able to help the church.

Aso Makoto began to feel troubled.

Seeing that Aso was in a real predicament, Bao Lie also remembered the recent batch of extraordinary items that had been delivered. He couldn't help but tap the long table, and the whole room fell silent: "Let's exchange some extraordinary items."

"Whether used on Bellow Island or left to guard the Old Temple, it can be used."

After speaking, Bao Lie manipulated the gray mist, forming files that the members recognized.

【Bloodstained Wolf Fang, Extraordinary Abilities: 1. Werewolf Transformation, granting extraordinary strength, speed, and rapid regeneration;

2. If no one wears it, the headband will consciously lure the surrounding life, control it, make it wear it, and fall into extreme pleasure after wearing it.

Sealing method: Maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from living beings.

Besides these, there are naturally many other low-sequence extraordinary items, but at this level, low-sequence extraordinary items are no longer of much help to the members.

Over this period of time, everyone has been doing tasks diligently, accumulating a considerable amount of contribution points, which can be used to exchange for extraordinary items.

The members quickly browsed through the church's archives of extraordinary items. They could see that these extraordinary items and their extraordinary abilities were more powerful than the previous batch, but the negative effects were also much more severe.

For example, that [Pleasure Headband] looks pretty good, with extraordinary and powerful abilities, and its negative effects are still acceptable.

However, the male members present had no intention of redeeming this item; on the contrary, the women were very interested in the headband.

While they were interested, the women were too embarrassed to speak up directly after seeing the negative effect of "occasionally bringing pleasure to the wearer".

As the members spent more time in the occult, they gradually became accustomed to it, and all sorts of ingenious ideas to counteract the negative effects emerged one after another.

For example, Susie immediately pointed to the Crimson Rose and asked Asou Makoto if he had any extraordinary potions that could restore limbs. If so, the negative effects of the Crimson Rose would be negligible, at most causing some pain.

For example, Chu Zihang, who had his eye on the [Necromancer's Gloves], also asked Asou Makoto if there were any potions that could replenish life force.

For a time, Aso became a hot commodity in the church.
