A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 283 It's too late! Nuwa has run far away with the head of the Uesugi family.

The swarm of dragons was even more overwhelming than dozens of bulldozers lined up in a row, smashing trees along the way, leaving dust, wood chips, and soil—all demonstrating the dragons' imposing power.

Seeing the 'sandstorm and thunder' formed by the charging dragons getting closer and closer, Genjiro decided without hesitation to use the Snake Clan's ultimate trump card!
She gathered her strength in her dantian and shouted, "Eri! Attack!"

Yes, any other hybrid would only run away in the face of such a formidable force, and would never stay to fight it head-on.

No trump card will work. For example, the Pharaoh's Council, who were only concerned with escaping just now, even if they brought their scythes this time, no one would dare to take that weapon and face the dragons alone.

The hybrids' dragon-slaying feats have always relied on sheer numbers to kill a lone dragon, with perhaps a few undead bystanders.

There has never been any rumor that anyone could kill dozens of dragons in one go!
But now! The history of hybrid dragon slaying will be rewritten by Uesugi Erii of the Snake Clan!
Erii is the ultimate trump card of the Snake-Headed Eight Families! Her Word of Power, Judgment, is more effective than any legendary alchemical weapon and is the sharpest spear of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

This is also the biggest guarantee for the Snake Clan's campaign against the Black King. Once Erii releases her Judgment, she should be able to easily kill these dragons.

"Eri!" Without turning his head, Genji called out his sister's name again, still not seeing the release of the judge.

"Clan head!" Yabuki Sakura hurriedly pulled Genjiro along as they ran, "Too late! Nuwa and Bishop Aso have already taken the Uesugi clan head far away!"

“???” Yuan Zhisheng’s neck seemed rusty as he turned around very slowly, glancing at the original spot where Nuwa and the others had been. Sure enough, no one was there anymore.

Not to mention Nuwa and Asou Makoto, even the Zhou and Bai families, as well as people from the Tokyo diocese, ran away together.

No, is Nuwa out of her mind?!

Even if the dragons are powerful, the Old Church isn't weak either, is it? Don't they dare to even touch them? They're just running away like that?

The point is, if you're going to run away, at least leave Erii with him! Why did you take her with you?
Then wouldn't his actions of standing still, striking a pose, and shouting "Eri" twice seem incredibly stupid?
Genjiro's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment. Was he angry? Not really. After all, Nuwa had done everything she could, at least she took Erii with her and didn't abandon her, right?
But to say he wasn't annoyed? That's impossible. Erii could have easily solved the problem with a single Judgment, but Nuwa made it so complicated, leaving Genji in such a sorry state!
To be honest, just thinking about what he had been thinking made Yuan Zhisheng want to slap himself twice.

They actually dared to dream of rewriting the history of hybrid dragon slaying from this moment on... Luckily, they didn't say those thoughts out loud.

If he were to actually say it out loud... Genji felt that he shouldn't be on Bellow Island, but rather in Gotham City battling Batman.

"Master!" Sakura Yabuki was really anxious, practically dragging Genjiro along as they ran. How could she be distracted at a time like this?
The crow and the yaksha also noticed that Genji was acting strangely. They slowed down and prepared to wait for Yabuki Sakura to run over so that they could take over, lift Genji up, and run again.

Fortunately, Sakura Yabuki's calls finally brought Genji back to his senses, and he quickly made arrangements: "You guys run!"

"I possess the Word of Power: Royal Authority, which can temporarily disrupt the dragons' charge. Don't worry about me. I can't handle continuously releasing Royal Authority, but I'm fine if I only release it for a moment."

"I'll release and retract my speed, then run again. Even the fourth-generation species here shouldn't be able to catch up with me!"

In this critical moment, Sakura Yabuki didn't resort to the melodramatic tropes of soap operas, making a scene about having to stay and be with Genjiro.

Because Sakura Yabuki remained calm and knew that Genjiro's arrangements were without fault, following Genjiro's orders maximized everyone's chances of survival.

In addition, any unnecessary actions will endanger everyone's lives.

Sakura Yabuki decisively released her grip without hesitation, abandoning Genji without wasting a single second, and quickly left with Crow and Yasha.

Finally free from being dragged along, Genjiro tugged at his collar and let out a soft sigh: "What's going on here?"

He was too embarrassed to say it earlier, but when Sakura Yabuki dragged him along like that, his collar was sore in his throat.

After straightening his collar, Genji watched as the dragons drew ever closer, their thunderous tremors causing his heart to clench.

Yuan Zhisheng's pupils were now a golden yellow, coldly gazing at the dragons, with mysterious and solemn dragon language from ancient times echoing among them.

Gravity surged twentyfold in that instant! The Word of Power, Royal Authority, oppressed the dragons, forcing them to submit!

The sudden gravitational suppression immediately disrupted the dragons' charge. Although it only lasted for a brief moment, it was enough to throw the dragons off their footing and formation.

Several large fourth-generation species were forced to stumble and fall due to the pressure of gravity. The abnormal gravity disappeared instantly, but the fourth-generation species still fell as they were supposed to.

It slammed viciously into the group of dragons, crushing many fifth-generation species. The remaining dragons that were running were not much better off, as they all lost their balance and fell to their knees due to the sudden increase in gravity.

With a thunderous roar, like a rolling ball, it slid towards Genjiro like a landslide or tsunami due to inertia!

The commotion as the dragons fell was even greater than when they charged forward, but their chaotic fall was clearly less intimidating than their orderly charge.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhisheng turned and ran. He knew very well that with the vitality of dragons, this fall wouldn't even constitute a minor injury; the dragons would quickly get back up and continue the pursuit. His original purpose wasn't to kill the enemy, but simply to buy a little time for everyone to retreat.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Genjiro naturally wouldn't linger. His royal blood speed was unleashed, and in just over ten seconds, he had overtaken the Snake Clan's team.

After showing himself to his three retainers as a way of letting them know he was safe, Yuan Zhisheng continued to maintain high speed and soon caught up with Nuwa and the others.

Erii was still a little dazed at this moment. It was only when Nuwa carried her away that she realized, "My brother is still behind us."

"It's alright, it's alright." Nuwa's strength was quite abundant, and the speed at which her snake body moved was no slower than that of a top-tier hybrid running on two legs: "Your brother isn't stupid, he can definitely run too."

Aso Makoto is even faster. Even without spreading his dark wings, his speed on his legs alone is something that hybrids can only dream of.

They easily caught up with Nuwa, and even strolled along as if taking a leisurely walk, saying, "We're taking you with us, mainly to protect the dragons."

"They were all dug out by Lady Xia Mi and ordered to guard this place. Although Lady Xia Mi said we could hunt them at will and didn't care about these dragon species, it's good to have the dragons buy us some more time."

“If Genji uses your power to kill them all, then the Church will no longer be able to use the dragons to delay the hybrids.”

Aso Makoto thought his explanation was spot on, and that Erii was smart enough to understand it.

Unexpectedly, Erii was even more confused: "Kill them all? I can't kill them. Judgment was borrowed by Xu Jun and has never been returned, which is why I can speak."

“…”*2.

Nuwa and Asou Makoto looked at each other, speechless for a moment, just like the crow and Yasha who had just been discussing Yabuki Sakura's female friendship.

Wasn't it pointless for them to hastily escape with Erii without telling Genji?

Fortunately, Nuwa, having been through similar experiences, was far more thick-skinned than them: "Since you can't kill us, shouldn't we run away even more?"

Erii blinked and nodded seriously, indicating her agreement with Nuwa's words.

Before they could say anything more, the Zhou and Bai families, along with the followers of the Tokyo sect, saw that Yuan Zhisheng had suddenly caught up with them and began to inform Nuwa.

Nuwa slowed down and let her people pass by. When Yuan Zhisheng caught up, she preemptively said, "I knew Mr. Yuan would escape. Good people are always blessed."

"Baka!" Genji stared at Nuwa with a particularly resentful look in his eyes, but when he saw Erii's sweet smile, which had never appeared in the Genji Heavy Industries building, he swallowed the Japanese curse back down his throat.

He looked at Aso Makoto seriously and said, "Bishop Aso, when we were discussing things, the Snake Clan had already decided to cooperate with your church."

"I won't hide anything further regarding certain confidential matters. In fact, Erii possesses the power to slay a multitude of dragons. Could you..."

"Master!" Just then, Sakura Yabuki and the crow caught up first, interrupting Genjiro's words, and reported good news at the same time: "Those dragons, they're not chasing anymore!"

"Just stay in place, roar, listen, listen as if it's some kind of warning."

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhisheng's mind: How could those fourth and fifth generation species stop here?
Could this be the Black King's order? Is that why so many dragons have gathered on Bellow Island and are staying within a certain area?

Beyond this range, due to the Black King's orders, the dragons cannot leave this fixed area.

Genjiro wasn't in a hurry to send Erii back to slay the dragon. He quickly took out his phone to contact other hybrid factions and inquire whether there were any other groups of dragons guarding the island.

After several phone calls, Yuan Zhisheng's expression gradually became serious. Nuwa, with her 'prophetic talent,' asked, 'Judging from Mr. Yuan's expression, there must be dragons guarding other regions as well?'

“That’s right.” Genji told all the information he had heard: “It’s not just our side. Several other forces, such as the alliance of the six tribes, the Ivanov family, and the mixed-race family in West Asia, have all been attacked by dragons after they went deep into the island.”

"Judging from the number we've encountered, there could be over a hundred dragons in the inner circle of Bello Island!"

"Based on this intelligence, we are increasingly certain that Bellow Island is the hatchery of Nidhogg, the Black King!"

"Otherwise, why would the fourth and fifth generation species, which should have been dormant, appear here all at once?"

"There's only one possibility: the dragons came to Bello Island specifically to protect the Dragon Emperor and help him hatch and be reborn!"
