Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 390 Soul-Guided Fission Missile, Strange Movements in Qiankun Asking Love Valley

"How was your first time attending the Sun Moon Empire Conference?"

The meeting did not last long, as it was essentially a one-man show by Otto.

Whether it was Xu Tianran's faction, Kong Deming's faction, or those naive neutral factions, apart from Kong Deming, no one dared to disobey Otto's orders.

Everyone is well aware of the methods of this imperial prime minister. He is no longer the mascot-like prime ministers of the past. In terms of power, he has reached a position second only to the emperor.

"It felt alright. I thought the meeting would just be a quarrel between different factions."

Emiya Shirou scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said that the Sun Moon Empire's meeting was not quite what he had imagined.

"Haha, arguing? Actually, it's pretty much the same thing. The so-called court assembly is essentially an argument, with each faction refusing to yield to the other."

About four years ago, if you attended a court assembly, you would have seen ministers arguing amongst themselves.

Otto smiled, gently smoothing out the wrinkles in his white coat, which shone brightly under the soul-guiding light.

“Bishop Otto, besides having us attend the meeting, there must be something else going on this time, right?”

Kiritsugu Emiya stood next to Shirou Emiya, his dark eyes fixed on the confident man in front of him. He knew that Otto wouldn't do anything pointless.

Otto straightened his expression, his eyes reflecting the figures of Emiya and his son, and said softly:
"You've never met Kong Deming before, but now that you've seen him in person, what do you think of this pillar of the nation?"

Instead of answering the question immediately, he asked a question.

After a brief moment's thought, Shirou Emiya immediately said, "Silence and reliability are the reassurance for everyone on the right side of the meeting."

"But... I feel that he clearly has the power to stop many things, but he has always remained silent. His power has been weakened and his interests have been damaged. I don't understand why he is so silent."

Kiritsugu's calloused fingers gently stroked the pocket of his coat, his steady voice echoing in the room.

"He has connections with the Body Sect?"

"This is information I didn't know before."

Otto's smile remained unchanged as the evening breeze swept across the majestic palace, flowing past the stained-glass windows and roaring like nature itself.

"It seems that after the battle of Star Luo City, our dear Sun and Moon Pillar has made a new friend."

"The Body Sect is very strong, but a level 99 Body Douluo is not enough for this coronation banquet and the funeral of the pillar."

They can't change the overall trend.

That's right, level 99. A year ago, Poison Undying decided to take a gamble. He gathered all the Dream Coins of the Body Sect together and then borrowed a huge amount of Dream Coins from the Magic Network Bank. He was going all in!
He's risking his entire sect; it's all or nothing! He's got the style of a certain Xiao clan patriarch from the neighboring Dou Qi Continent.

Fortunately, fate was on his side. With his top-tier main body martial soul, solid foundation, and exceptional talent, he successfully completed the condensation of the second soul core of the same position resonance with the supply of a massive amount of dream coins.

He broke through level 99 in one fell swoop and reached the pinnacle of the world.

Under normal circumstances, if Poison Undying broke through to level 99, he would definitely make a big fuss, first leading the Body Sect experts to provoke Shrek Academy, since that's how they always act.

However, they did not do that now, mainly because although Poison Undying had broken through, the Body Sect still owed a huge debt.

The credit of the Magic Network Bank is almost negative. If it were money borrowed from the three great empires, there would be no need to worry about it at all. But this money comes from the Magic Network, from the mysterious "Yege".

Before paying off their debts, no Soul Master in Douluo Continent dares to start a large-scale battle, for fear of making their debts even worse.

Then, Otto looked at Shirou Emiya and said:

"Is Shirou's silence regarding Kong Deming's opinion completely unconditional?"

"The assessment is accurate enough. Yes, Kong Deming does like to be silent, which is also his biggest flaw."

“In the four years since I came to the Sun Moon Empire and entered the court, he has had many opportunities to suppress me and stop my expansion of power, but he did not do so; he remained silent.”

"Why? Because of arrogance."

"He considers himself the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, the leader of all level nine soul masters, and the guardian of the imperial family, the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming." "Kong Deming doesn't care about the disputes in the court, nor does he care about who wins or loses. He only cares about whether the Sun Moon Empire is stable and whether the imperial family is legitimate enough."

"To be honest, if he weren't the pillar of the Sun and Moon, and the leader of so many level nine soul masters, I would really like to be friends with him."

We soaked together in the bathhouse, chatting about life and the future, and those wild fantasies, just like with a man named Joyce from before.

"Hmm... Joyce is a young man I have high hopes for; I've even considered having him succeed me."

"Putting aside all the accolades, Kong Deming is an excellent researcher, and I have always respected researchers."

They are the pioneers of humanity's future; I really don't want to kill him unless absolutely necessary.

"Unfortunately, he was in my way."

Otto spoke his last words with a smile, but the murderous intent hidden within sent a chill down the spine of everyone around him.

Kiritsugu looked at Otto and pondered, "If I may ask, what happened to this guy named Joyce in the end?"

Otto made no attempt to hide anything and stated it directly:

"I blew him up, and of course I was heartbroken."

Kiritsugu Emiya fell silent. As expected, the boss's judgment was sharp; he and Otto did indeed get along very well.

"Is everything still proceeding according to plan? Will having an additional Douluo in his true form cause any deviations?"

Otto shook his head and said, "Everything is going according to plan. Even if the original Douluo breaks free from the Divine Grace Barrier in a short time, we'll kill him too."

"Just to be on the safe side, I transported a soul-guided fission bomb from Xilu City. If something goes wrong, this fission bomb will be enough to send them to the underworld."

Emiya Shirou's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "A fission bomb?! Has it already been developed?"

"The weapon is too powerful. The fission reaction triggers elemental turbulence and a violent surge of the world's energy. Even if it were detonated between Mingdu and the Jingyang Mountains, it would level half of Mingdu!"
Furthermore, there are subsequent elemental disturbances and radiation, making this place essentially unsuitable for life.

Inside the Xilu City Research Center, the Soul-Guided Fission Bomb should be classified as level ten according to the Soul Guidance Device classification, and its power definitely reaches level ten!
The fission mechanism, similar to that of the nuclear bomb in the previous life, was merely the trigger for the soul-guided fission bomb. The main attack method was to utilize the elemental turbulence and pulses of primordial energy caused by the fission energy.

Actually, this was inspired by the Emperor Dragon God Claw, simulating the elemental turbulence generated when the Dragon God Claw is used as an attack method.

Because the fission speed is extremely fast, before the fission, the soul-guided fission bullet has almost no aura and appears as just a large lump of iron.

It can be said that its stealth is off the charts; anyone below the god level who knows nothing about this weapon could be killed on their first encounter.

Otto pressed his palm down and said, "Don't rush, Shirou."

"It's just a safety net measure; we won't actually use it."

"Even if it is used, the residual power will be stopped by others, and it will not cause too much bloodshed."

Emiya Shirou felt a little relieved, because with the Silver Dragon King inside Mingdu, she probably wouldn't stand idly by, and the boss would likely come to Mingdu as well.

Kiritsugu, however, was not bound by so many moral constraints. He looked at Otto and said, "Then the Root Group's operations will proceed as usual."

"By the way, could you transport a few more soul-guided fission bombs?"

"Recently, the boss has been keeping an eye on Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which has shown unusual activity. Our instruments indicate that there is a high level of resentment inside, and this level of resentment is definitely not something that ordinary people can trigger."

Moreover, within just three years, at least nine different divine power fluctuations appeared in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, of which only the Sea God could be identified.

Otto closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand."

"I will apply for more soul-guided fission bombs. Qiankun Asking Love Valley... one of the three great treasure troves in the world, but this place doesn't resemble a treasure trove at all."

"Keep an eye on that spot at all times. Don't make any rash moves or send anyone in before the boss gives the order."

Kiritsugu nodded and said, "Of course."
