I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

However, Li Mo didn't do anything to the timid-looking little girl, Xiao Nagisa. He simply integrated a companion-version of the [Seed of Transcendentality] into her. But before he could say anything, he noticed the movements of the unexpected visitor:

"Hmm? There are still some guys on this island who're eager to die!"

Chapter 11 The Black Death Emperor's Delivery Team!

Buzzing sound!

Before Li Mo finished speaking, Liana Karyana, Xiaoya City, and the others present instinctively looked in the direction that the "Fourth True Ancestor Body" was looking. After a dozen seconds, they heard a faint buzzing sound.

Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed several small black dots flying from the distant sea; they were clearly several military armed helicopters!

After all, apart from Akatsuki Kojou, who was there because of his own reasons, and Camilla, whose aptitude was really not that great, everyone present, including Akatsuki Nagisa, the little black-haired loli, could be considered to be beings from the extraordinary world. Naturally, they could easily recognize from afar that the rocket pods and firearms on those armed helicopters were radiating the cold gleam of killing weapons.

Liana Kalyana and Xiaoya City were not surprised that other forces would come to Gozo Island. The pressure and powerful magic reaction brought by the appearance of the True Ancestor-level familiar earlier would definitely be noticed by other countries around, especially European countries. If they did not send people to check immediately, it would be a great disregard for the efforts of those European countries in the Night Kingdom who were facing the First True Ancestor. They were not like the world before Li Mo transmigrated, which had basically become laissez-faire and even their military strength had become increasingly useless.

Why is the saying "Born in hardship, die in comfort" so widely circulated? Just look at the world before Li Mo's transmigration: the soldiers of the Fourth Prussia became civil servants, England had more generals than tanks and warships, and France had to rely on the Foreign Legion to fight. This shows that after the arms race during the Cold War ended, the overall military strength of these major belligerent countries in World War I and World War II declined rapidly.

In the world of Strike the Blood, two of the three major Night Empires of the vampires are located on the World Island. The first True Ancestor is in Eastern Europe and the second True Ancestor is in West Asia. It would be strange if the European countries could cripple themselves, as each of them has a strong military and is very vigilant about their surroundings!

"Wait a minute, those armed helicopters look like they're from Italy? But why do they look like they've been in a battle?!"

After only a few glances, some people noticed something was wrong. The reason was that some of them had exceptional eyesight and noticed that there seemed to be a few bullet holes and bloodstains on the armed helicopters that were rapidly approaching Gozo Island.

Liana Kalyana sensed something was wrong immediately, but looking at Li Mo standing beside her, she swallowed back the words she wanted to say. She knew very well that she was already trying to cling to the coattails of the "Fourth True Ancestor Body," so until Li Mo himself spoke, she had to maintain a respectful attitude. Besides, judging from Li Mo's own combat power, Liana Kalyana didn't think there were many people in this world who could make the Fourth True Ancestor Body feel threatened.

Upon noticing that Liana Karyana remained silent while Li Mo watched with interest as several armed helicopters approached, Xiaoyacheng and the others quickly considered their options and chose to remain where they were. They understood that Li Mo was the decision-maker present!

"Bang bang—!"

While Li Mo and his group were still observing, people jumped out of the several armed helicopters bearing Italian markings, each one trampling a deep pit in the ground. Yet, these ferocious-looking orcs remained completely unharmed.

Black Death Royal Faction!

These orcs, with their particularly ferocious faces and undisguised madness and bloodlust, are none other than the terrorist organization from the original Strike the Blood anime and manga, which appeared on Gozo Island and Itogami Island and can be described as an extreme orc supremacist terrorist organization.

The plot differs slightly from the original Strike the Blood anime. In the Gozo arc of the original anime, the archaeological team arrived on Gozo Island and successfully found the location of Aurora's seal. When they were preparing to break the seal on the underground palace, they were ambushed by the Black Death Emperor's faction. The archaeological team was almost wiped out, with only Akatsuki, Kojou, and Nagisa surviving by chance. Even Liana Kalana and her guards were killed.

This time, due to the impact of Li Mo's intervention, the Black Death Emperor faction, which had been eyeing the archaeological team, didn't have much time to observe and attack while the team was excavating the underground palace. Instead, when they sent out a reconnaissance team to land on the island, they sensed the powerful magic of the True Ancestor-level familiar and quickly took action.

Without a doubt, the Black Death Royal Faction's operational capabilities are almost maxed out. Their combat abilities may not be the strongest, but every orc who joins the Black Death Royal Faction is probably a madman, and a special kind of madman with goals and pursuits.

Upon discovering the highest-level alarm from the reconnaissance team and the powerful magical reaction emanating from the direction of Gozo Island, the Black Death Emperor's brother, who happened to be in the Italian coastal area preparing to re-establish smuggling channels for his organization, immediately led his team into an Italian naval garrison camp without hesitation. They killed many Italian soldiers, seized several armed helicopters, and rushed over.

Strictly speaking, the actions of the Death Emperor's younger brother were reckless, essentially jeopardizing any future private smuggling cooperation with Daili. However, given the powerful magical reaction emanating from the direction of Gozo Island and the uncertainty of what the archaeological team there might unearth, the Death Emperor's younger brother acted without hesitation. He didn't want the vampires, especially those under the First True Ancestor, to acquire any more of the valuable [Heavenly Department] legacy. That would be extremely bad news for the Black Death Emperor's faction, which was causing trouble in the First Night Empire.

Moreover, for the Black Death Emperor's brother and his group of orc superhumans, seizing the armed helicopter to Gozo Island would allow them to eliminate the archaeological team in time and obtain the valuable items they discovered. This would be excellent news for the Black Death Emperor's faction, since they had just suffered a severe blow. Their leader and he had to temporarily evacuate the Night Empire of the First Progenitor with their subordinates and urgently needed to replenish their combat strength and various supplies.

However, when the Death Emperor's younger brother and more than twenty orcs jumped off the armed helicopter and arrived directly on Gozo Island, they saw Li Mo and Liana Karyana's group looking at them. They were on guard and prepared for battle!

"Your Majesty, that's the deceased prince, Glen Khasarov, the Black Death Emperor's faction that was defeated by that Snake Man. How dare they come to this sacred island?!"

Upon seeing the strong orc leader with a wolf's head, Liana Kalyana's pupils contracted. She quickly whispered what she knew to Li Mo, her words filled with jealousy towards the snake-like vampire.

Indeed, Liana Kalyana was very jealous of a certain snake-like vampire. This person was powerful and had defeated the Black Death Emperor faction, which had caused a lot of trouble. He was respected by the vampire nobles of the First Night Empire. In contrast, the Kalyana family had almost become a laughing stock of the First Night Empire. If she hadn't found a way to change things, it would have been foreseeable that they would have been stripped of their noble titles.

The problem is that Liana Kalyana is well aware of the remaining strength of herself and her family. She would never consider challenging the newly crowned vampire duke, nor would she seek trouble with the Black Death Emperor's faction. One is a vampire noble whose strength and status far surpass hers, and the other is a powerful terrorist. She simply cannot defeat them.

Now, Liana Kalyana is not afraid of the Black Death Emperor's faction at all. She has the strongest Fourth True Ancestor's body by her side. Even if the Death Emperor's younger brother, who is said to be comparable to the vampire elder, is present, she will not feel threatened.

"Ha, isn't this the stray dog ​​of the Kalyana family? Their territory has been breached by trash vampires without any familiars, and they're about to lose their noble status. Now they dare to look at me?!"

The deceased prince's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, was utterly blunt in response to Liana Karyana's words, directly hitting her most painful wound. He glared at Liana Karyana with hostility while simultaneously being wary of Li Mo's actions.

While the Death Emperor's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, may seem reckless in his actions, he is actually the second-in-command of the Black Death Emperor's faction not only because of his outstanding combat abilities, but also because of his exceptionally keen sense of danger. He can sense that on Gozo Island, apart from Li Mo, a special being who inexplicably evokes fear in him, everyone else, including demons and vampires, is trash in his eyes.

In this regard, the deceased prince's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, was quite confident. While mocking the vampire count opposite him, he signaled his subordinates to slowly expand and prepare to surround everyone present!

"you?!!"

This time, Liana Kaljana's expression changed drastically. She was both angry and anxious, but dared not say anything. In her heart, she was already cursing the other party to pieces.

Leaving aside the fact that losing her noble status was a disgrace to the vampire nobility, the fact that they dug up her past in front of the Fourth Progenitor was even greater than the hatred of killing her father. After all, she had risked everything to awaken the Fourth Progenitor's original body in order to regain her noble status and prevent the Kalyana family from losing its noble lineage.

Originally, Liana Kalyana was somewhat confident, but now that her deceased brother had said this, the success rate of getting the Fourth Progenitor to accept her would obviously be much lower. How could this not make her angry?

"You bastard, die!"

Liana Kalyana glanced at Li Mo and saw that the "Fourth Progenitor" had no change in expression. She immediately felt reassured and summoned her familiar, preparing to kill this rude person in front of her and show off in front of the Progenitor.

roar------!

As Liana Kalyana moved, two wolf-like familiars, each comparable in size to a medium-sized pickup truck, appeared, roaring and emitting billowing flames, as they flew towards the deceased prince's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, who was targeted.

At this moment, the deceased emperor's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, seeing that his own people had formed a semi-encirclement, grinned maliciously and leaped up, instantly transforming into a ten-meter-tall black giant wolf. He grabbed the throats of two wolf-like familiars that were pouncing on him with both hands and roared:

"You trash! I have no interest in playing with you!"

With two sharp snaps, the two wolf-like beasts had their necks snapped and vanished in mid-air, howling in agony!

"Well!!!"

After her two familiars were severely injured and dissipated, Liana Kalyana let out a painful groan, half-kneeling on the ground. Looking at the enemy in front of her, who had completely transformed into a giant black wolf, she exclaimed in horror, "This is... a divine beast transformation?!"

Transformation into a divine beast! This is the rarest occurrence for orcs, who are part of the demon race. The probability is not much higher than winning the lottery jackpot. However, orcs with the ability to transform into divine beasts can grow up to be able to compete with vampires of the same level.

Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant orcs. Vampires, who possess the ability to summon familiars, are the strongest fighters of their rank in the world of Strike the Blood. In fact, aside from a few powerful individuals who wield special weapons or practice special secret techniques, it's normal for humans and demons of the same rank to be unable to defeat vampires.

Of course, people in the supernatural world know about such things, but the fact that beastmen who have transformed into divine beasts are also endangered species, and that the Black Death Emperor's faction actually has such a powerful figure, is beyond Liana Kalyana's expectations!

"Damn it, this is a divine beast transformation that only a very small number of orcs with ancestral bloodlines can use. They are extremely powerful enemies!"

On the other side, Xiao Yacheng saw his deceased younger brother, Gran Khasarov, transform into a giant black werewolf. He couldn't help but curse and explained to his son, Xiao Kojo, and daughter, Xiao Nagisa, shouting, "Kojo, I'll try to hold him off for a bit. You take Nagisa and escape..."

"Huh? Huh?!"

Faced with his father's shout, Akatsuki Kojou, who had been exposed to so much about the extraordinary world, was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned to extreme astonishment.

The reason was simple: Xiao Yacheng had just drawn his gun and rushed forward when, before he could even make a move, he was slapped away by the dead emperor's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, who had transformed into a giant wolf. He flew back to Xiao Kojou and Xiao Nagisa's side and lay on the ground, unable to move.

Seeing their father's speechless, comedic-like behavior, both Kojou and Nagisa were stunned and didn't know what to do!

"All that's left is you... uh... how can that be..."

Having easily dealt with the vampire countess and the strongest human, the deceased king's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, who had transformed into a giant black wolf, turned his head and stared at Li Mo with his mouth full of sharp teeth. While he was grinning maliciously, his expression suddenly froze.

Click—click—!

Li Mo calmly looked at the group from the Black Death Emperor's faction. With a slight flick of his fingers, he condensed frost power, instantly turning the Black Death Emperor's younger brother, Gran Khasarov, and the group of orcs into a line of ice sculptures frozen in place.

It can be clearly seen that the group of orc warriors from the Black Death Emperor's faction were frozen in the instant they were struck by Li Mo's freezing power. What seemed like a direct use of the power of the familiar [Demoness's Azure Ice] was transformed in Li Mo's hands into an ultimate frost attack of precision that even the Fourth True Ancestor could not achieve, or rather, that she herself was completely unaware of.

Including the younger brother of the Dead Emperor, Gran Asarov, a total of more than twenty elites of the Black Death Emperor's faction and one beastman transformed into a divine beast were instantly frozen to death. As for Liana Karyana and Xiaoyacheng, they could even clearly see that the beastmen were still in a posture of surrounding and preparing to attack together, with ferocious and aggressive expressions on their faces. Only the younger brother of the Dead Emperor, Gran Asarov, probably reacted with a trace of doubt when he was finally frozen to death.

If that were all, Liana Kalyana and Xiaoya City wouldn't be too surprised. What chilled the group to the bone was that these orcs, even those frozen ice sculptures just a few meters apart, didn't make them feel cold at all. The clever ones had already guessed that the chill of the ice sculptures was contained and didn't spread out like before, causing the climate of Gozo Island to change abnormally.

As for the armed helicopters, the captured pilots who were forced to fly them, and an orc serving as the supervisor, were all caught off guard and fell directly into the sea, creating a spectacular fireworks display on the sea for everyone on Gozo Island.

"This...this is the power of the Fourth Ancestor...?"

Seeing the ice sculptures of orcs from the Black Death Emperor's faction, and the armed helicopters that were also frozen and then plunged into the sea as fireworks, Liana Karyana, who had recovered her breath, looked at Li Mo with awe and her eyes became even more reverent. Everyone else, including Xiaoya City, had the same expression.

Seeing is believing. Even if everyone had heard about the power of the True Ancestors and the Fourth True Ancestor, who was hailed as the strongest, it was still quite rare for them to truly believe it. Even for Liana Kalyana, her previous thoughts were only about controlling the Fourth True Ancestor's body and restoring the noble title of the Night Empire of the First True Ancestor. To say that she knew how powerful the Fourth True Ancestor was would be a complete joke.

Similarly, Xiaoya City and the several dispatched neon guards previously only had a concept of the Fourth Progenitor as "possibly very powerful." However, after witnessing Li Mo easily turn a group of powerful orcs into ice sculptures without even summoning any familiars, Xiaoya City and the neon guards trembled. Fortunately, Li Mo didn't care about their opinions, and he didn't care what Xiaoya City and Xiaogu City thought.

At this moment, Li Mo suddenly turned his gaze to his left, where a spatial fluctuation appeared. Then, a petite black-haired girl holding a parasol and wearing a gothic dress appeared. That was Nangong Nayue, one of the popular female characters from the Strike the Blood world!

(The pictures of Nangong Nayue from Baidu Baike are indeed very cute.)

Chapter 12 Nangong Nayue

“You damned brother, that's enough! This is an international magic attack mage commissioned by the War King's Domain... You? Huh?!”

Just as Nangong Nayue appeared and was about to say something, she saw a row of orc ice sculptures on the ground, and the most conspicuous one among them was the deceased royal brother, Gran Asalov. She swallowed back what she wanted to say and couldn't help but raise her handsome eyebrows.

It should be said that as the "Witch of the Gap," Nangong Nayue is quite famous in Europe. She was commissioned by the Night Empire of the First Progenitor to capture an important figure in the Black Death Emperor's faction. Just a few days ago, she arrived in Eastern Europe to obtain general intelligence and then began pursuing the Black Death Emperor's whereabouts, eventually arriving in Italy. She had just received accurate information and was heading to Gozo Island to rescue Akatsuki's group and capture members of the Black Death Emperor's faction, including the Death Emperor's younger brother.

If we consider the original storyline of Strike the Blood, Nagatsuki Nanami arrived at Gozo Island at the very end, only to find that the Black Death Emperor's faction had already withdrawn, leaving behind Akatsuki Kojou and others who, by chance, became the Fourth Progenitor. However, now that she arrived a little earlier, it was still of little use!

"Oh, Natsuki, won't you come down and have a chat?"

Upon seeing Nangong Nayue appear, Li Mo was clearly intrigued. He didn't pay attention to her floating in the sky with her own magic power, and waved to Nangong Nayue in a friendly manner, his words carrying a slightly frivolous tone.

For Li Mo, Nangong Nayue was someone he had only met once before. This seemingly black-haired loli witch was actually controlled by Itogami Island through various means, becoming a top-tier attack magician who protected Itogami Island. Ordinary students and residents of Itogami Island could only meet her if they were lucky enough, and becoming close to her was an extremely difficult task.

In fact, Li Mo had only seen Nangong Nayue and the other teachers at the opening ceremony when he entered Itogami Island as an exchange student. Moreover, he was well aware that it was absurd for a young martial artist like Li Mo to try to speak to Nangong Nayue. Besides, Nangong Nayue was the official gatekeeper of Itogami Island, specifically assigned to guard the prison and the prison of serious criminals, and she received far too much attention.

That's similar to the situation of the Fourth Progenitor, Kojou Akatsuki, in the original Strike the Blood storyline. It's simply a pipe dream for strangers to come into contact with him. Even Itogami Island and the Japanese government send people to guide Kojou's actions. And Kojou Akatsuki truly lives up to his reputation as the most disgraceful Progenitor, being completely manipulated by the Japanese. The so-called Empire of Akatsuki he established is nothing but a facade.

Now, Li Mo has already made plans for Itogami Island and even Japan. He looked at Nangong Nayue and called her in a rather intimate tone, which caused Liana Kalyana and the others beside him to have a strange look in their eyes!

"Don't call me Nagatsuki, call me Teacher Nangong Nagatsuki!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's greeting, Nangong Nayue, who almost instinctively wanted to reprimand him, only snapped out of her daze after the words left her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Mo, then swept over Liana Karyana beside him, and finally over the row of orc ice sculptures. Her pretty face became increasingly serious and hesitant as she said, "You? I seem to have seen you before? Wait, this level of freezing magic, damn it, could it be a True Ancestor-level familiar? Could it be the Fourth True Ancestor's physical body..."

As for Nangong Nayue, her combat power was also at the upper level of the Strike the Blood world. She could fight against vampire elders and divine beastmen without necessarily being at a disadvantage. She naturally had a fairly accurate estimate of the general abilities of human and demon superhumans. At least she could see the respectful attitude of the vampire noble Liana Kalyana towards Li Mo and the special features brought by the beastman ice sculpture.

Just from Liana Kalyana's words, Nangong Nayue could tell that she was at least a vampire noble. The fact that such a vampire noble stood respectfully behind Li Mo meant that Li Mo's status was far higher than hers. More importantly, among the group of orc ice sculptures, the most obvious one was the beast-transformed Death King's younger brother, Gran Asalov. Knowing that the other party's strength was no less than that of a vampire elder, he was a troublesome fellow, but now he was frozen there silently, having lost his life along with a group of his subordinates.

In particular, when Nangong Nayue saw that the elites of the Black Death Emperor's faction were frozen to death instantly, and apart from the transparent and restrained ice on their own bodies, the surrounding ground did not feel the slightest abnormality, Nangong Nayue, knowing the difficulty of this, became extremely cautious with her beautiful eyes, and looked at Li Mo with vigilance and surprise, unconsciously making a defensive gesture.

In just a moment, Nangong Nayue quickly recalled the powerful individuals who possessed such top-tier combat strength. She soon realized that apart from the First True Ancestor and a few old monsters, very few people in Europe could defeat a beastman in a single instant. And yet, she remembered that there seemed to be a Fourth True Ancestor with such a familiar beast...

"Well, if you're willing to call me the Fourth True Ancestor, then it doesn't seem to be a problem!"

Upon hearing Nangong Nayue's words, Li Mo's lips curled up slightly, and his familiar [Demon Queen's Azure Ice] reappeared behind him. However, unlike before, it did not immediately turn the surrounding climate into a frigid winter. Instead, it appeared as a strange-looking familiar.

The reason Li Mo admitted it was because his current situation truly made him worthy of being called the Fourth True Ancestor. In any case, he had forcibly formed a soul contract with the original soul of the Fourth True Ancestor, and through this, he had subtly connected with twelve of his original bodies, including Aurora. He could also directly use the abilities of his familiar [Demoness's Azure Ice]. So, rounding up, it really wasn't wrong to call him the Fourth True Ancestor!

For example, Liana Karyana and Xiaoyacheng had already identified him as the Fourth Progenitor. Liana Karyana, who knew a little about the original story of the Fourth Progenitor, was even more eager to protect Li Mo's leg immediately, while Xiaoyacheng and the others had completely abandoned their previous thoughts and were thinking about how to save their lives.

Similarly, Nangong Nayue, who knew more, was immediately reminded of a long-standing legend when she saw Li Mo's completely unresponsive and frivolous words that even made her a little angry!

"Fourth True Ancestor! Lord of the Night of Flames! It is rumored that your soul was sealed in the body of the Twelfth Element. It seems that this rumor is indeed true!"

Seeing Li Mo's slightly flippant reply, Nangong Nayue's pretty face became even more helpless, but she gripped the parasol tightly in her hand and said in a low voice.
