Mystery: The New Black Emperor Descends

Chapter 740 Medici the Conqueror

The abilities of the "Outer Gods' Chosen Ones" were somewhat unfamiliar to Hobert. He didn't have as much preparation and research as Amon, so he was very careful when dealing with them at the beginning.

Because he had a Stand to help him block the opponent's attacks, Hobert didn't rush to retaliate. He wanted to see what the opponent's abilities were like first.

Within the illusion created by the alluring flowers, there were layers upon layers of enormous squares stacked together, each square seemingly containing a terrifying creature coldly watching Hobert.

Hobart felt that his Stand's emotions were being affected by the monsters in the squares, and he was sometimes angry, sometimes sad, and sometimes fearful.

So He had His stand wave his hand, and the monsters in the square were immediately "remodeled" into handicrafts, festive toys, and other items that had little to do with anger, sadness, and fear.

Immediately afterwards, the stand-in reached out and took out a pair of huge butterfly wings from the "Land of Chaos".

This is a magical item that I obtained by chance a long time ago when I was dealing with the contamination of Archibald by the "Uncertain Mist".

It doesn't seem to have many extraordinary characteristics, but once infused with spirituality, the patterns on its wings become highly hallucinogenic.

Hobart later speculated that this magical item might have been formed due to the unique nature of the Outer God's contamination.

The monster Hobart is now facing has a very similar effect to the wings of a butterfly.

This ability is somewhat different from the "hypnosis" of the "audience" or the manipulation of dreams by the "insomniac"; it is more like a hallucination caused by taking some kind of drug.

This is difficult to directly "exploit" or "distort".

But for an extraordinary being of Hobart's caliber, this is not a particularly difficult problem to solve.

The Stand waved its colorful "butterfly wings" like two large fans, and used its "magnification" and "utilization" abilities. Suddenly, a hallucinogenic force broke through the square in front of it, as if opening a spatial gate, creating a portal to the illusion.

Immediately after the illusion shattered, Hobart saw the alluring flowers on the green ice.

The flower spun again, but just as it began to spin, Hobart's double snapped his fingers, and a tremendous force suddenly appeared in the air, slamming into the flower and shattering it.

At this point, Hobart's attack was no longer just a physical attack, but an attack on the essence of the target. Regardless of the flower's structure or whether it differed from life on Earth, once it was shattered, it was shattered.

The "Sword of Slaughter" reappeared in the Stand's hand. He swung it forward, splitting the entire lake's ice layer in two. Beneath the ice layer, which was tens of meters high, there was still a patch of dark green lake water that had not been frozen.

In these lakes, one can vaguely see some fish that have not been properly digested, some human corpses that are dissolving, and even many aquatic plants.

It looks more like the stomach of some kind of omnivorous creature.

Considering that the surrounding low temperature could not freeze the monster, Hobart snapped his fingers, compressing the surrounding air to form a furnace composed of high-pressure air. Then, friction ignited the flames, instantly raising the temperature to over a thousand degrees Celsius, and the temperature continued to rise.

All the ice melted instantly and evaporated rapidly, first becoming transparent, and then, as the temperature rose, forming pure white clouds at the top of the enormous "air furnace".

A huge lake vanished, leaving only the deep green "Outer God's Chosen" at the bottom of the dried-up lake.

But He didn't seem to be afraid of the high temperature, and still broke through the "air furnace" set up by Hobart like a paste.

The intense heat erupted, setting the surrounding fields ablaze.

Hobert's Stand was prepared, and on the path the opponent was bound to take, he wielded the "Sword of Slaughter" and stabbed the huge "green paste".

"Green Paste" could certainly sense the power of "Sword of Slaughter" and suddenly extended several dark green tentacles to block "Sword of Slaughter," but the Stand "distorted" their direction, and the tentacles extended to other places.

Although the sword pierced the "green paste," the main body of the "green paste" immediately split off a large portion of its original form.

The part that split off was affected by the "killing order" and immediately turned back into water, bones, dried aquatic plants and other substances.

This did not affect the escape speed of "Green Paste" at all. There was a river not far away, and that was the target of "Green Paste".

It will swallow any animal or plant it encounters along the way without hesitation.

Hobert, hiding in the "shadows," was extremely grateful that the goddess of night had descended in time and trapped all the targets here with the "Hidden World." Otherwise, if this guy had escaped into the underground water, he would have been much harder to catch.

As the Stand used its "Chaos" ability to disorient the "Green Paste," Hobert recalled some novels he had read before.

The "green paste" in front of him was more like the alien creatures with extremely strong vitality that he remembered!

Of course, conventional methods cannot be used to deal with this kind of creature.

He glanced inside the "green paste" and suddenly had a good idea.

As Hobert's Stand snapped its fingers, every corpse and every tree inside the "Green Paste" was changed from "1" to "99".

Whoops!

The corpses and plants immediately burst through the "green paste," swelling into a "mountain of corpses" hundreds of meters high.

The "green paste" was momentarily bewildered, as if it didn't quite understand what had just happened.

Hobart's Stand waved his hand, preparing to twist and seal the "green paste" that had burst open and was scattered everywhere.

But the "green paste" quickly realized what was happening and "cut" itself again, managing to escape with only about one-tenth of its length.

Hobert realized that the green liquid that the Stand had "twisted" was actually lifeless.

In other words, in that instant, the "green paste" transferred all its vitality, consciousness, and perception to that one-tenth!

This ability is indeed quite amazing.

At this moment, the one-tenth of the "green paste" suddenly stopped and turned into a green plane. A thin film appeared on its surface, displaying a brilliant color.

The Stand was using the "Sword of Slaughter" to pursue its target when suddenly the brilliant colors on the membrane formed a blurry figure.

Hobert's Stand stopped abruptly. Hobert in the "shadow" immediately turned his head, closed his eyes, and saw through the Stand's eyes that the blurry figure gradually became clear, transforming into a huge creature with some marine characteristics.

His body was covered with many ancient runes, shimmering with dazzling iridescence, giving him a sense of both holiness and eeriness.

Hobert immediately realized that this was the true form of the "Fallen Mother Goddess." Before becoming a god, even the King of Angels would be slightly corrupted after just one glance.

Fortunately, Hobart now has a "firewall," so this superficial pollution is only in the stand-in and has not affected the main body.

That is enough for the "Fallen Mother Goddess," because of the nature of Her authority, unless another Old One intervenes, she cannot remove such defilement.

Even superficial pollution can gradually deepen until it becomes severely polluted.

Hobart immediately made the space in front of the "green paste" "chaotic," and the light no longer traveled along the normal path, so the clear figure became blurry again.

But in the next second, the figure solidified again, bypassing the path of light and appearing directly in front of Hobart.

Hobart immediately "altered" his perception, making himself believe he was blind and preventing his consciousness from receiving any visual information or conceiving any images.

Only then did He remove the obviously mutated Stand, only to discover that the Stand had been "reborn" and was no longer willing to disappear!

Hobart acted decisively, changing the Stand's value from "1" to "0", and the Stand disappeared.

The "Sword of Slaughter" appeared in Hobart's hand. It suddenly grew longer and stabbed precisely at the "green paste" that now resembled a standing curtain.

The "green paste" quickly moved away, and the image on its surface disappeared.

Hobert's spirituality had been somewhat weakened by his own "tampering," and he only noticed the change in his opponent after stabbing several times.

He immediately used compressed air to trap the "green paste," but some of it still managed to escape.

As Hobart finished his "tampering," he chased after it, using microscopic electromagnetic forces to attract the "green paste."

The "green paste" was finally brought under control this time, and its speed was greatly reduced.

Having regained his keen spirituality, Hobart realized that perhaps only the four great natural forces of the universe could imprison the "green paste".

Hobart first returned to the "Shadow" and had his new Stand "distort" the strong interaction force in front of him. The soil, rocks, and even the air in front of him suddenly changed, creating a huge crater that was more than ten kilometers long.

This is because all the matter in a certain area was suddenly emptied, and because of the strong interaction force, the gaps between atoms became smaller, and the matter in the giant pit became a small, extremely hard, thin as a cicada's wing, or even only a molecule wide layer of matter.

At this point, the "green paste" was about the size of an ordinary pool, but unlike the other substances, it was not sucked away. Instead, it stayed in the center of the giant pit, struggling and unable to go anywhere.

At this point, it once again detached its tail to survive, but the parts it discarded were sucked into that thin wall with strong interaction forces.

The "green paste" struggled incessantly, but Hobart used "force" to hold it tightly, and the strong interaction force gradually began to affect the "green paste" itself.

So the main body kept cutting off its tail to survive, until finally only about a bucket of water remained, and its color turned dark green and its appearance became more viscous.

At this moment, Hobart's Stand transformed the "Sword of Order" in his hand into a javelin and threw it, hitting the "Green Paste" squarely.

It struggled a few more times, then finally stopped moving altogether.

Instead of immediately removing the four natural forces, Hobart first used the ability of "utilization" to accelerate the extraction of extraordinary properties.

In the end, Hobart obtained a palm-sized, translucent liquid.

Hobart could sense that it was somewhat like an extraordinary property, yet it also seemed to possess some kind of living property, more like the extraction of a sealed artifact.

At that moment, a space not far from Hobart suddenly became dark and inscrutable, and a clear voice said, "Its situation is somewhat special; it's more like the extraordinary characteristic itself has given rise to life."

Perhaps fearing Hobart might misunderstand, the Goddess of Night explained further: "It's not that it possesses vitality, but rather that its extraordinary properties give rise to life."

“I understand,” Hobart said. “That does fit some of the authority that the Fallen Mother Goddess has shown.”

This old man really enjoys giving some creatures and items "new life".

The Goddess of Night continued, "If you seal it carefully, it may show signs of life again after a period of time."

Hobert nodded: This must be due to the "blessing" of the "Fallen Mother Goddess". Perhaps only after becoming an Old One can completely separate this extraordinary characteristic from the stars, and only then will the life within it perish completely.

The Goddess of Night said again, "The people here can still be saved."

"I already have a plan to save them."

"I'll help you control them for a little while longer."

Hobart smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."

The dark and obscure space disappeared. Hobert first used the "Order Crystal" to seal the "Green Paste," and then glanced at the battlefield where he had just fought the "Green Paste."

A huge lake has disappeared, and a giant crater has appeared!

As the "air furnace" that Hobart had "distorted" disappeared, the hot water vapor drifted into the sky, forming dark clouds, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Hobert rose into the air, expanding his spirituality to its maximum extent. Then, his Stand raised its hand and "distorted" the left eyes of all the "blue-eyed monsters" in the entire "Hidden World" to his feet.

wow~

It was as if an "eyeball rain" fell from beneath His feet, and in the end, all the eyeballs piled up to form a small mound.

These eyes still retain the characteristics of being alive, constantly moving around, and the entire "eye hill" is also in constant motion.

Screams echoed across the land of the Byron Empire.

People have returned to normal, but they have lost an eye.

Hobart extracted the extraordinary characteristics of the "Creator" from the "Land of Chaos" and attempted to make everyone grow a left eye again.

This extraordinary trait is the one Hobert obtained by shattering the "Bracelet of Creation". The extraordinary trait of "Summoning Master" has been given to Emlyn, preparing him to advance to Sequence 3.

Currently, Hobart is "utilizing" the characteristics of the "creator" to make everyone who has lost their left eye begin to grow a left eye.

But he discovered that the newly grown left eye still had problems.

In other words, the "green paste" is a "concept" that pollutes the "left eye," and as long as they have a left eye, the pollution will continue to exist.

Hobart then abandoned his idea of ​​regenerating the "left eye" and "altered" everyone's injuries, turning their new wounds into healed old ones.

After this series of operations were completed, the Goddess of Night withdrew from the "Hidden World," the early night disappeared, and a sliver of the setting sun appeared on the horizon.

With a wave of his hand, Hobart's "Eye Hill" immediately "disintegrated," eventually turning into a pile of colorful dust.

He glanced at the bewildered and frightened people on the city streets, and without lingering, used the method of "distorting" space to immediately head north to the Atlantis army camp.

Later, after the Byron Empire was taken over by Atlantis, it was divided into two counties. The locals liked to call these two counties "Left Eye County" because most people, and even many animals, there did not have a left eye.

……

In the Kingdom of Fenneport, there is a seal underwater in the center of Full Moon Lake in the South Colson region.

This seal was created when Hobart was the lord of this place, using the "Land of Chaos" to seal away the pollution beneath the lake.

Inside the deep black seal, there is a bubble-like structure, and inside the bubble is a crystal-clear gem that still shimmers with strange colors even without light.

When sealing the bubbles and gems, Hobart speculated that the contamination likely came from the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

At this moment, a ghostly green shadow appeared on the gem in the "bubble". The ghostly green shadow slowly flowed and turned into a paste.

It knew perfectly well that it must not disturb the outer seal, so it quietly came to the very center of the gem, where it lingered, waiting for the right opportunity.

……

Hobert arrived at the Atlantean military camp and found Medici, who had fiery red hair: "Prepare for the final battle."

Medici flashed a chilling smile: "Looks like all the problems have been solved!"

Then He took a deep breath: "Give me half an hour to prepare!"

Hobert nodded slowly, handing the place over entirely to Medici.

Soon, the cry of "Prepare for the decisive battle!" resounded throughout the entire military camp and every trench in front of it.

Because a specific plan for the decisive battle had already been developed, the army of over 100,000 men immediately began to operate in an orderly manner.

The artillery was the first to get busy, with freight trams loaded with shells from the barracks and transported to several artillery positions.

The soldiers in the trenches began to check their weapons, attach bayonets to their muzzles, and were issued large quantities of bullets and grenades.

In the center of the military camp, brilliant lights flashed continuously as squads of extraordinary individuals assembled here according to the previous plan, forming different combat formations to await Medici's orders.

When the extraordinary forces had almost assembled, Medici emerged solemnly from the main tent and proclaimed, "The King and the angels have gone to Caesar's Port; the angelic war there should have already begun."

"And here is our battlefield, and our mission is to utterly crush the enemy's extraordinary power!"

"I have assured the king that every extraordinary being in the enemy ranks will be killed. Remember! There are no prisoners among the extraordinary! Taking their extraordinary qualities is the greatest respect you can show them!"

"As long as we win this extraordinary war, this battle involving hundreds of thousands of people will be a foregone conclusion."

"Come on! Fight! This should be your last chance to easily earn military merit!"

"After this battle, there will be no rivals left in the entire world!"

接着梅迪奇开始「分发」刚才「缔造者」赐予的0级封印物，其中有「0-71」灾难瓷偶和「0-72」旧日之盒。

And the still-unshattered "0-73" Death Domain and "0-74" Fallen Mask.

还有「0-77」诅咒心脏，「0-78」灵性原野，一共6件0级封印物。

Adding to this the "0-80" rule brass book in Hobert's possession, this is all the level 0 sealed artifacts Hobert currently owns.

The original "0-76" Death Sword had been shattered by Hobert, and the "Weather Wizard" extraordinary ability within it was given to Medici for advancement. Just now, along with these sealed items, Medici also received the "Conqueror" extraordinary ability.

Medici had already prepared the potion for advancing to Sequence 1 and was just waiting for the right time to take it.

Medici glanced at the setting sun on the horizon: "Let's go!"

After the final war mobilization, led by Medici, the extraordinary individuals quickly left the military camp and crossed the trenches.

Under Medici's loud command, the phalanx made slight adjustments and immediately charged toward the enemy's trenches.

In fact, they could have used the corresponding sealing artifacts to "skip" the enemy's trenches and appear directly in the enemy's camp.

But Medici launched a frontal attack.

Immediately, streaks of fire erupted from the enemy's trenches—the enemy's heavy machine guns.

Boom!

With a wave of his hand, Medici caused a violent explosion in the position in front of them, creating a huge gap, and the extraordinary ones easily broke through the enemy's defenses.

The soldiers of the Pas Allied Forces stood there, not knowing what to do, until the Atlantis bombardment began, which "woke them up".

This was Medici's objective: to demoralize the enemy's ordinary soldiers.

All the obstacles they encountered along the way crumbled, and soon the thousands of extraordinary individuals arrived at the enemy's main camp.

After receiving the news, the enemy's extraordinary forces had basically completed their assembly.

Medici glanced at the enemy ranks and readjusted the formation: "Charge! Charge! Crush the enemy camp! These scum are doomed!"

"Hahahaha! Feel the terror brought by the Atlantean army!"

The extraordinary beings on the Pas Alliance side also formed a simple defensive formation, and several demigods wielding level 0 sealed artifacts began to attack Medici with all their might.

Medici, dodging attacks, charged ahead, longsword stained with blood and rust: "You scum, this will be the last thing you ever see!"

Boom!

In the midst of a dense and extraordinary attack, Medici detonated the enemy camp, while an angelic-level "pure white spear" pierced through His chest.

This "Pure White Spear" was a level 0 sealed artifact from the Rune nobles. Medici, as if nothing had happened, pulled out the pure white spear and tossed it aside, becoming the first to charge into the enemy camp.

Enemies were everywhere in front of me, and extraordinary attacks flew everywhere.

Behind him were all his own people, whose attacks were equally extraordinary and flew everywhere.

He first killed an enemy demigod with a single sword strike, then was blasted away by other extraordinary attacks.

Medici immediately got up and charged at the enemy with renewed vigor. After killing another demigod, a black, extraordinary spear pierced his abdomen once more.

He turned and killed the enemy holding the black spear again.

"Hahahaha!" Medici laughed heartily, enjoying the chaotic moment.

An extraordinary and chaotic battle ensued, engulfing half of the allied forces' camp in flames and resulting in countless deaths and injuries among ordinary soldiers who were unable to evacuate.

Soon, the Atlantis side, which had been planning the attack for a long time, gained the upper hand. Medici seized the opportunity, completely tore through the enemy's defenses, and cut and surrounded them.

The Allied Extraordinary Warriors immediately began to flee. With the arrival of victory in the Extraordinary War, Medici took out the potion he had prepared and drank it in one gulp.

Almost without regaining his composure, He shouted again, "Pursue! Pursue! Crush the enemy! Conquer the Southern Continent!"
