Man on the ark, forced to become king

Even a god could not tolerate it at this moment.

Anger rose in his heart, and evil took hold in his heart. Flames condensed, and space distorted, like a hot knife cutting through oil. The gleaming blade left conspicuous marks in the air, and before it even landed, the ground cracked inch by inch.

The energy contained within that short blade is enough to destroy a building!

'Little Chen, Little Chen, you...'

Faced with this situation, Lin Lu couldn't help but sigh.

The difference between these two sisters is just too great, isn't it?

They are half-sisters, but the older sister is so strong that she might even be able to go toe-to-toe with Wei Yanwu. How did the younger sister end up like that?

Chen Lian can't even master the Crimson Sky Sword properly; the skill gap is too large. Is the genetic difference between their fathers really that big?

Talulah is indeed a descendant of Drak's bloodline, but Chen is also of royal blood from Yan Kingdom, a pure dragon bloodline.

'Tsk, looks like I'll have to put some pressure on her when we get back.'

After some silent deliberation, Lin Lu made a decision.

The older sister, who was raised outside, struggled to make a living in the wilderness and even had trouble getting food. Yet she became so strong. Chen had no worries about food and drink in Longmen, but she trained to be like that. As her teacher, he couldn't accept that, could he?

The thought flashed through my mind, and in the blink of an eye, the burning blade was right in front of me.

The heat wave hit me, my skin stung from the heat, and even my hair curled slightly.

Lin Lu remained calm and suddenly squatted down.

puff~

With a soft sound, the jet-black wings flashed by, and the black feathers fell, only to be ignited into ashes by the high temperature that filled the air.

The blade and her figure intersected, and Lin Lu's body vanished from the spot, reappearing above the blade.

Combat Skill: Mist Raptor!

Transforming oneself into a black raven's feather is an incredibly powerful technique that allows one to evade almost any single-target attack!

boom!

As the sword fell, the earth groaned, a long, narrow crack stretched for hundreds of meters, and earth fire erupted, forming a burning wall of fire.

The black snake controlling Talulah to wield the sword couldn't help but widen its eyes. Even with her experience, she couldn't figure out how Lin Lu had dodged the attack.

No! Why did he hide?! Why would he hide?!

Aren't you a strong person who is extremely arrogant about your own strength?

You just run away like that? Have you no shame? You've completely lost face!

Trying to deceive me, trying to ambush this thousand-year-old black snake!

They adopted a "bring it on, I'll take it all" attitude, but in the end, they easily dodged everything?!

It was like punching the air with full force; the black snake felt so uncomfortable it wanted to vomit blood.

Especially after seeing Lin Lu, who was in mid-air, mouth the word "idiot," the feeling of suffocation almost made her unable to breathe.

But now is not the time to be angry.

Although he was tricked, the black serpent, as an evil god who had lived for thousands of years, did not lose his mind and do anything rash because of his anger.

Throwing away the greatsword that was now only missing its hilt, Black Serpent forcibly controlled Talulah's body and, without hesitation, turned and ran away, stepping on flames!

In this situation, she definitely couldn't win. Her all-out attack was easily dodged and hit the ground. Not to mention that she didn't have the ability to control Talulah to use such an attack again for the time being, even if Lin Lu had her, she wouldn't give her another chance.

If you don't run now, what are you waiting for? To die?

With a burst of fire, the black snake unleashed its full power, fleeing at top speed into the distance, leaving a long trail of fire in the darkness.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Lin Lu grinned, feeling exceptionally happy. She landed on the ground, her fist flashing with a deep purple light, and slammed it into the ground.

Combat Technique: Gravity!

Originating from the White King's combat techniques, which feature stone-skinned creatures, this technique involves plunging a weapon into the ground to generate a gravitational wave that pulls enemies closer.

General Rataen of Shattered Stars used this move to perfection, integrating it into his own combat skills. He was certainly no less skilled!

"Trying to run away? Come back here!"

Centered on the fist that slammed into the ground, purple ripples spread rapidly, encompassing the fleeing 'Talulah'. Then, the spreading ripples coalesced into a halo, rapidly contracting and pulling back the fleeing dragon girl by the gravity of the meteorite.

An invisible pressure pressed inward from all directions; the black snake returned just as quickly as it had run away.

puff~

The heavy object landed, and Talulah was crushed to the ground by the weight of gravity, barely managing to support herself with her arms.

If it were someone else, they might have been more concerned about Talulah's health and wouldn't have dared to use moves that were too destructive.

But Lin Lu didn't have such concerns.

So what if you're injured? As long as you're not dead, the Golden Tree can heal you completely!

Even if you die, you can be brought back to life, so what's there to be afraid of?

"The immortal black serpent is not bad."

Straightening up and crossing her arms, Lin Lu looked down at the black snakes kneeling on the ground, made a casual comment, and quickly resumed her playful grin.

"Run, keep running, I'll admit defeat if you can get out of here."

"You mean Black Snake? How many bodies has it changed? Has it ever changed? It's just the same old thing in a different guise."

"What level are you guys with those black snake scales and stuff? Just a few of you, all trash and nobodies. Talulah and the like come to fight me? Do you think we can win? No, we don't have the ability, you know?"

"If this continues, we'll lose to the Inner Guard, then the Shield Guard, then the Military and Police, and then no one will be able to lose to us."

"An old fox like you only knows how to scheme and plot. You haven't even laid a solid foundation. With this level of strength, can you guarantee that no one but me can beat you?"

"Be pragmatic. I advise you to improve your own strength first and understand the essence of this world."

"The emperor is doing just fine, why do you want to replace him? Tell me."

"you you!"

The black snake's eyes widened, and its chest heaved violently.

She wanted to angrily rebuke Lin Lu: "Where's your confidence? You got all ready to take the hit head-on, and then you dodged? As a strong person, how can you be so shameless?"

However, seeing that this guy practically had "I'm shameless, so I'll hide" written all over his face, he ultimately held back and dejectedly lowered his head.

"Hmph, you won this round."

"Oh ho, not so stubborn anymore? Not so arrogant anymore?"

Lin Lu shook her head, making clicking noises.

“I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that since my main body isn’t here right now, and Theresa isn’t here either, even if I implant the power of the Golden Tree, it won’t be able to do anything to this wisp of your consciousness for the time being. In Ursus, your main body can soon descend again, strengthen this consciousness, and bring Talulah back under your control, right?”

"..."

The black snake remained silent.

Even without her saying it, Lin Lu could guess that this was definitely what she was thinking.

He felt that without Theresa's help, he wouldn't be able to completely extinguish the black snake consciousness residing in Talulah's body.

Innocent!

He certainly couldn't manipulate emotions or alter memories, but when it came to erasing a wisp of consciousness, there were countless ways to do so.

"You just slashed me with your sword, so let me show you what my sword is all about."

As she said this, Lin Lu smiled and stretched out an arm.

"..."

Black Snake's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Despite having ample information about her methods and being confident that her consciousness was intertwined with Talulah's soul in the absence of the Demon King, making her impossible to separate or destroy individually, she still felt somewhat apprehensive in the face of this man who possessed a multitude of unknown abilities.

"So you know nothing about true power."

"In the face of absolute power, schemes and tricks are useless."

Black and red light appeared from the void, converging in the palm of the hand to form a flame-like vortex.

First comes the hilt, then the forearm-length guard, and finally the triangular blade.

The sword, seemingly formed from congealed blood, had twisted and protruded like vines on its surface, and a greatsword floating with black and red flames was now in hand.

Prayer - Black Sword!

A special prayer obtained from the memories of Maricus, the shadow beast of the divine man and the sworn brother of the eternal queen Marika.

In the past, Maricus held the power of death, inspiring fear in many demigods. His sword contained the destiny to kill demigods.

The black sword phantom summoned through prayer also possesses a trace of the power of destined death.

This power is extremely weak, but as a black sword that exists as a prayer, it has an advantage that physical weapons cannot match. It can act according to the user's will, making extremely precise cuts and doing things that seem incredible—such as cutting into two intertwined consciousnesses and killing one of them.

Predestined death represents absolute death, whether for the body or the soul; even the eternal and immortal gods cannot escape the bondage of death.

At the border, it was the only power capable of completely killing demigods, which is why Maricus was feared by them.
