Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 412 Herzog

"Still alive?"

Even though it was cut in half at the waist, the Yamata no Orochi, possessing the power of the Eight-Headed Serpent, continued to writhe and struggle, desperately trying to find its remaining half. But in the next moment, Lu Mingfei's sword light, imbued with judgment, severed all of the Yamata no Orochi's heads and shredded its body into countless fragments, which were then all sent into Uesugi Yue's Black Sun to be reduced to ashes.

The old fogies in the academy would probably curse it as a waste of resources, saying that the legendary remains of the White King, not to mention research, could be worth a fortune just by being used to refine alchemical stones.

But Lu Mingfei always felt that this thing was too sinister. It had survived for tens of thousands of years, and if it were left to humans, it would surely do something stupid sooner or later.

Uesugi Etsu naturally agreed wholeheartedly; he had long been eager to end the fate of the imperial bloodline.

The two wielded the alchemical sword, slicing the enormous body of the Yamata no Orochi into minced meat, before being reduced to ashes by the black sun.

However, just as Uesugi Kotsushi breathed a slight sigh of relief, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the piece of meat that had been sucked into the air.

But Lu Mingfei never let his guard down; he never withdrew from the trial, precisely to guard against this move.

Uesugi Kotsugi reacted just as quickly; the reaction speed limit that ordinary hybrids could reach was just a piece of cake for him.

The lightning was cleaved in mid-air by the spider, and they didn't see what it was until it fell to the ground.

It resembles a fragmented embryo, with an swollen head bearing a large single eye, and what looks like a tail is actually a spine wrapped in flesh.

It was almost cut in two by Uesugi Koshi's spider cutter, but it was still hissing and roaring, and its golden single eye was still on it.

"Alien?" Lu Mingfei's first thought was the facehugger. So this was the true form of the Holy Remains. In this way, all the myths and legends of the Snake Clan could be explained.

Before being executed by the Black Emperor, the White King voluntarily evolved into this tiny parasitic creature, thus escaping death.

If it hadn't encountered the judgment and the dark sun that would grind it to dust, it probably would have escaped if it hadn't been careful.

Its final act of retaliation was to parasitize Uesugi Kotsuki, who was the perfect sacrifice to awaken the White King's true will and power.

"Damn it!" Uesugi Koshi cursed.

Lu Mingfei also felt disgusted. The next moment, the power of judgment instantly enveloped the Holy Remains, completely slicing him into blood and dust, and sending the blood-stained road surface slabs into the Black Sun.

The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief only after all of Orochi's flesh and blood had been burned to ashes.

Uesugi Koshi slumped to the ground, panting heavily, letting the torrential rain pour down on him, his face showing only the relief of surviving a disaster.

"Kid, you're not bad."

Faced with the readily available holy remains, Lu Mingfei showed no sign of being tempted or hesitant. Given his young age and the power he possessed, could he really be his son?

"Damn, just don't try to adopt any sons randomly."

Lu Mingfei had already deactivated his Martial Soul Possession state and was also lying on his back on the pile of rubble, panting.

Looking at the utterly destroyed Chiyoda Ward before him, Lu Mingfei knew without a doubt what kind of chaos Tokyo would be in once power and communications were restored tomorrow.

He had seen many dead people, but this was the first time so many had died from the aftermath of his battle. He suddenly felt very tired, mentally exhausted, as if he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Yuan Zhisheng and the others arrived at the scene at this time, and everyone bowed deeply in Lu Mingfei's direction.

"Lu-kun, thank you so much for saving Tokyo." Genji solemnly thanked Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei had rescued the girl from the Pleasure House, knocked out hundreds of people in the Pleasure House by himself, and now he had saved the entire Tokyo.

"There's no need for us to bow to our own people." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and barely stood up. A large group of Hedao members bowed to them, and he suddenly felt a sense of shame. The main reason was that his underwear was almost bursting off, which was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Chu appeared in time and handed over his Executive Department trench coat. Lu Mingfei quickly gave him a grateful look and put it on, which eased the awkward atmosphere.

Principal Angers' communications were also reconnected at this moment; the aftershocks of the recent battle of Words of Power had disrupted almost all communications in Tokyo.

It was paralyzed by interference.

"Well done. Now that the Holy Relic has been destroyed, the focus is on disaster relief. Don't forget, those Dead Servants are still on the run. Also, the King of the Oni Clan and Tachibana Masamune are definitely involved in tonight's events. Start a search throughout Japan immediately." Angers breathed a sigh of relief. The greatest danger had been eliminated, and things would be much easier with the United Nations.

"Understood, Principal." Genji nodded and immediately began making arrangements. In fact, he didn't need to say anything more; the members of the Snake Clan had already begun disaster relief efforts around the scene.

The heavy clouds hanging over Tokyo finally began to dissipate. The Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces also received the news and began to reassure the citizens and deploy to Tokyo to carry out maintenance and rescue operations.

Uesugi Koshi finally regained his strength and was preparing to go pick up his daughter. He hadn't forgotten that Erii had just used a large-scale incantation and needed serum treatment. He had just had the Sakurai family take Nono and Erii away in a military armored vehicle.

Just as Caesar was about to contact Nono, a chilling roar came from the other end of the channel.

Everyone present instantly recognized the identity of the person whose voice it was.

Tachibana Masamune.

Erii, who possesses the power of judgment, is comparable to a next-generation species. How could Tachibana Masamune possibly capture her?

Lu Mingfei immediately thought of that strange clapper. Tachibana Masamune and the King were in cahoots. Did Erii also react to the sound of the clapper?

"It's you! What do you want to do to Erii?" Genji roared.

"So you're just kids. What could I possibly want?" Tachibana Masamune sneered. "I've raised you all to this age, don't you know what I want?"

"Stop talking nonsense, where are Nono and the others?" Caesar shouted.

"Holy Remains? You're dreaming, that thing—" Genji was about to reveal the truth when Caesar immediately covered his mouth.

"You know better than we do what that thing means," Caesar said in a deep voice. No one knew what a madman would do when he lost his last hope. None of them dared to gamble, nor could they afford to.

"Then you should understand even more what they mean to you. Gattuso's successor, I think you should give me a satisfactory answer, right? In this respect, you are indeed much better than Chisei." Tachibana Masamune grinned maliciously.

"Also, let me remind you again: don't try any tricks. Don't think that Lu Mingfei and Angers can change anything. How could I not be on guard?"

"I'm only giving you one hour. Take the remains to Tokyo Bay Sunrise Pier immediately. If you're even a minute late, don't blame my darlings for having a midnight snack."

The roars of several Deadpools came through the communication channel, and Tachibana Masamune hung up the phone without hesitation.

"Damn it!" Uesugi Kotsushi pounded the wall with both hands, filled with regret.

"Princess Kaguya, have you located the source of their communication?" Genji asked calmly, his brow furrowed. The most urgent task was to find the person. Once Tachibana Masamune found out that the Sacred Relic had been destroyed, who knew what he might do?

"Locked. Signal location is at Tokyo Bay Sunrise Wharf, container yard," Princess Kaguya replied.

"Damn it! I'm going to chop him up right now." Uesugi Koshi drew his sword and was about to leave, but Genji immediately stopped him.

"Calm down. What's the use of tearing him to pieces?" Genji looked at Caesar, Lu Mingfei, and the others. "I know Tachibana Masamune, even if it's only a part of him. But since he dared to call us directly, it means he's not afraid of us contacting him now. He must have arranged for the two of them to be placed in other locations."

"Sunrise Wharf usually handles tens of thousands of containers just from the piles of cargo, and there are countless basements in residential buildings where we can hide. He only gave us one hour, so we have to race against time."

"Head of the Ryoma family, you stay here and contact the city's Self-Defense Forces to arrange disaster relief. The rest of you, come with me. The Pacific Fleet's Marines are also in Tokyo Bay. Request support immediately. Caesar, go to the seafood shop right now and find a skinned deep-sea fish to impersonate the Holy Relic. We must delay as much as possible."

Sunrise Pier.

In a completely dark corner, a person stood quietly on the mooring post at the edge of the pier, the sea breeze illuminating his body.

The haori shawl on her body was blown so hard that it clung tightly to her skin.

The sudden disaster in Tokyo caused all citizens who could reach the sea to flee, leaving the entire dock deserted.

However, amidst the sound of the sea breeze, one could hear a faint gnawing sound carried on the wind—the tearing of flesh from bones by teeth and the sucking of lips!

At his feet, on the sea surface, a three-headed dragon-shaped dead servant floated, chewing on indescribable flesh and blood.

Meanwhile, on a nearby lifeboat, Nono lay motionless, her body tightly bound by fishing net ropes and a time bomb.

"What exactly do you want? Where is Erii?" Nono asked, enduring the terrifying stench of the dragon-shaped dead servant beside her.

They were sitting in an armored vehicle, heading to an air-raid shelter, when they were suddenly attacked by Deadpool, controlled by Masamune Tachibana. The attacker produced two bamboo-shaped musical instruments that caused Erii to faint instantly. When she woke up, she was here, but Erii had disappeared. She was also found with a time bomb strapped to her body, with the remote control at Masamune's feet. If he loosened his grip, it would detonate immediately.

"I don't want to do anything, just return my sacred remains and let the power of God be fully restored." Tachibana Masamune turned his head, a crazy smile suddenly appearing on his face.

"You madman, didn't you already see it? The Yamata no Orochi has stopped moving, it must have been killed." Nono really couldn't understand Tachibana Masamune's thought process.

"That was just a beast that inherited the power of the White King. Even the Black King couldn't kill it. How could you possibly kill it? Not to mention, how could anyone be willing to kill a god? How could anyone give up the White King's legacy and the throne of the world for nothing?" Tachibana Masamune shook his head. Such a thing was absolutely impossible. Neither the Secret Party nor the Dragon King would give up such power, which is why they made this last effort.

If it had been any later, and the remains had been taken away by the Secret Society and the United Nations, he would have had no chance left, and his life's plans would have been completely meaningless.

"He's gone mad." Nono finally saw it clearly: Tachibana Masamune was now a madman grasping at the last straw.

"Only madmen can survive in this world. Your Kassel College is no less despicable than me. Otherwise, where would Lu Mingfei come from? Where would you come from?" Tachibana Masamune laughed, so brightly, yet it always exuded a ferocious ruthlessness that seemed ready to pounce and devour someone at any moment.

"Eri is the purest White King gene embryo I cultivated. Even the original Uesugi Kozuki couldn't be more perfect than her. How could the Chen family possibly give birth to a daughter who looks exactly like her?"

"It's obvious that your secret party also divided up my research results in Swan Harbor back then. If it were possible, I would really like to feed you to the Holy Relic. Maybe your appeal would be even greater than Erii's."

He knew very well that there was an invisible hand behind all of this. Bondarev had definitely faked his death and orchestrated all of this. The fact that Lu Mingfei could appear in the Secret Service was the best evidence. How could an ant obtain the power to slay a god? Unless he himself was part of a god.

None of that matters, as long as he can obtain the power of the gods, all the conspiracies and schemes are insignificant.

Deadpool suddenly became agitated, and a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Tachibana Masamune and the lifeboat. The helicopter's rotor blades cut through the rain, the cabin door opened, and Uesugi Koshi descended from the sky, his long black trench coat fluttering in the wind.

Numerous vehicles from the Sheqi Eight Families and fishing boats from other ports surrounded the entire area.

Genjiro and Caesar emerged from the black SUV. Caesar was holding a quartz glass container in his arms, inside which a blood-red fleshy ball was writhing and twisting.

"Don't speak from now on, or I can't guarantee your safety," Tachibana Masamune warned Nono in a low voice, turning to look in Genji's direction.

"The power of family and love is truly moving," Tachibana Masamune chuckled softly.

"Enough with the nonsense, where's my daughter?" Uesugi Kotetsu asked, brandishing his sword.

"How could I not be cautious when facing Kassel College and the Snake Clan, who slaughtered gods and saved Tokyo?" Tachibana Masamune shook his head.

"Since you know that, why do you still think you can escape today?" Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were icy.

"Of course I know I have nowhere to run today, but so what?" Tachibana Masamune smiled and suddenly reached out from behind him, putting on a mask.

The pale white mask of a court noble caused Genji's pupils to shrink instantly.

The Emperor and Tachibana Masamune were originally one person. No, that's not right. In other words, Tachibana Masamune also had a double; the real him isn't here.

"It seems you already know. Let me introduce myself. My real name is Herzog, so don't try anything funny, otherwise I can't guarantee Chen Motong and Erii's safety."

"This isn't what we agreed on. Where's Erii? We can't hand over the item to you without seeing Erii." Genji reached out and stopped Caesar.

"Of course I know, so I don't demand the remains of the saint." Herzog looked at Caesar: "Gattuso's son, as long as you pour the remains of the saint into Tokyo Bay, I will release your girlfriends, including Erii. All I want is for God's safety."

"How about we each fight for the Holy Relic based on our own abilities afterward?" Herzog laughed. He couldn't possibly take the Holy Relic with him if they handed it over directly, but if they were released, there would be room for negotiation. Tokyo Bay was too big; the Holy Relic could disappear without a trace in no time.

"I can agree to that, but how do I know if you'll actually release them?" Caesar narrowed his eyes, staring at Herzog's face.

"You have no choice. Either let me destroy these two flowers, or release God and we'll compete fairly again, based on our own abilities." Herzog revealed the remote control at his feet: "You choose."

All eyes were on Caesar. After a moment's hesitation, Caesar slowly walked to the railing at the dock.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

At an inverted T-shaped branching point in an underground drainage pipe, the real Herzog is listening to the sounds coming from the ground through a listening device.

As soon as the Holy Relic is freed, he immediately cuts Erii's wrist to lure the Holy Relic to him.

Erii lay flat on the dirty, waterlogged concrete floor of the pipes, her lifeless eyes staring silently at the dark ceiling. She saw a little yellow duck wobbling towards her, but she didn't have the strength to lift her hand.

She was about to die, but why wasn't it Ultraman who killed her?
