The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"Similarly, in order to extend the benefits of capitalist democracy to the entire universe!"

"Let capitalist freedom benefit other civilizations!"

"We are the vanguard fighters of freedom, we are the great vanguard army of hell, willing to sacrifice a hundred million comrades to their deaths!"

"Let the Super Iron Curtain be great again!"

"Loyalty!" The commander extended his left hand.

Everyone in the audience raised their left hands in unison and shouted loudly, their voices forming an ocean: "Loyalty! Honesty!"

……

The Beast King is dead, but the endless disasters it brought have turned half of the capital into ruins.

Survivors, amidst the ruins, regained their hope for life and began rebuilding shelters for people to rest in.

However, unlike before, a giant beast was also helping among the people rebuilding. Now, people were no longer afraid of the beast, but would bow slightly whenever they came to its feet.

Perhaps they wanted to pay homage to another colossal beast, but it could never step forward, just like that monarch who could never reappear.

The disaster ended, and the monarch's student made the Law Ring system completely public. Then, within just one day, people in various city-states successfully replicated the Law Ring system, and they all realized that this system had reached its end.

Completely transformed into a behemoth!

Furthermore, this energy that transforms into a behemoth is not something that disappears after death. Through an accidental experiment, someone discovered that this magic ring can actually be passed on to people of the same bloodline after death, while people of different bloodlines cannot obtain it. This behemoth's power can be inherited to a certain extent by future generations.

This is the core capability that allows this system to crush the old one.

However, time is too short, and no one else has yet successfully reached the point where they can transform into giant beasts. But they have all seen hope, just like the great sage who brought the psionic system to the world thousands of years ago and ensured that humanity continued to advance for thousands of years in that dark and barbaric era.

This new system of magical rings will allow humanity to continue advancing, even faster than the evolution of the behemoths, because the stronger the behemoth, the stronger the magical ring it will create.

If things continue to develop this way, perhaps in just a few hundred years, humanity will no longer need to fear giant beasts, but will instead live in peace with them, progress together, and become partners in a new world, a world like Pokémon with giant beasts.

Despite the endless hatred between humans and behemoths in the past, under the new Law Ring system, when humans must rely on behemoths to become stronger, all hatred and history must give way to interests.

This is the eternal and unchanging truth.

Furthermore, it seems that some people have begun to suggest that since the current royal family has been completely wiped out, they must elect a new royal family to deal with this unprecedented upheaval, and the former royal family has been completely disliked because of the Super Beast King incident.

So they looked to the founder of this legal system, and had the idea of ​​dressing a new emperor in a yellow robe when the weather turned cold...

Unfortunately, none of the three little ones have such thoughts yet. Perhaps Yunxing will sit on that golden throne in the future and truly have the awareness to take on the responsibility of the whole world.

However, now they are all immersed in the past. They are still in contact, but it seems that their relationship has fallen apart. Everyone will grow up and find their own future. Only occasionally when they think of the little things when they met, they feel a little sad.

But now, Yunxing only wants to fulfill her teacher's last wish and wait for his return.

While everyone else was busy, Ronald had a dream.

There was a time when he was plagued by endless nightmares... Only by closely following that person could he be sure that he was alive, and not just a walking corpse.

Since obtaining the Ring of Law and since confessing his feelings to his fiancée, he has never had that nightmare again—that demon in the laboratory, seemingly enduring endless torment.

But today, he felt as if he had returned to seven years ago.

The scene that appeared countless times in his nightmares, causing him endless pain and torment, was where one person after another strapped him to a restraint belt, called him "Patient Zero," and injected serum into his veins.

Endless pain surged like a tide, and these scenes seemed to overlap with the scenes of his teacher being tortured. He didn't know if this was a memory from seven years ago or yesterday, the pain of seeing his teacher's heartbeat gradually return to zero during that torture.

However, after endless suffering, he opened his eyes and saw a sunset.

At the edge of the wilderness, the last rays of the setting sun shone on the scales of a colossal dragon, their metallic sheen reflecting a dazzling light.

The behemoth exuded an aura of royalty. Even in the afterglow of the setting sun, its presence was so distinct and so undeniable. Each of its metallic scales was like a meticulously crafted work of art, reflecting the still sharp fury after endless battles.

Everyone harbors a monster within their heart, but it is trapped in a cage and may never be released. However, when the monster breaks free of its cage, it will unleash its most terrifying power.

Now, Ronald has seen the monster.

The monster opened its eyes and stared back at it in the setting sun.

"Zero, Super Beast!"

Ronald murmured the code name of the super beast, the monster that destroyed his hometown, killed his father and mother, and ruined everything he had.

He once hated this giant beast intensely, but he could only think about it in his heart. He didn't even have the courage to be as angry as Yun Xing.

But later, it was the power of his most respected teacher. That super beast blocked the attack of hundreds of giant beasts, blocked the most terrifying super beast king, and under the burning sky, its self-destruction killed the super beast king along with it.

He was a hero of the world, but his teacher was gone. He didn't know if Yunxing's words were just a placebo; he only knew that in his mind, his teacher was gone and would never come back.

But now, he actually saw the Zero Super Beast inside his own body. The Super Beast descended from the sky, angry and ferocious, looking at him as if it were a demon about to break free from its cage.

Yes, everyone has a devil living in their heart, and happiness and hope are its prison. When all happiness and hope turn into nothingness, the devil will break out of the prison and emerge singing a bloody hymn. At that time, the desperate will be invincible.

"A contract?" the devil asked.

"What, a contract?"

"You can use my power, but each time you use it, you will permanently lose a quarter of your life. And when your life is completely reduced to zero, I will completely take over your body."

Chapter 131 That's all. If you can do that, you'll be a hero.

Did the monster choose him, the most useless guy, as its vessel...?

Under the setting sun, Ronald stared into the eyes of the monster and suddenly realized that his teacher had only used the power of the Zero Beast four times in total.

The first time was on a rainy night, on the overpass, when he saw the man's back as he left, handing over control of the vehicle to him.

The second time, the strange bird that fell from the sky attacked the Twin Towers. The man protected them as they left, protected the falling Twin Towers, and cut the strange bird in two.

The third time was an endless tide of behemoths. The light went out, but the teacher was still fighting.

The fourth time, just yesterday, the teacher's heart had stopped beating, but under that gray sky, he still waved the Möbius strip one last time.

Four times in total...

Teacher, is this the pain you endure every time you transform...? Is this your enlightenment...?

For some reason, looking at this super beast that he both hated and knew so well, he felt like crying. The feeling of pain and warmth intertwined seemed to have completely invaded his heart. Looking at the giant beast, his tears flowed involuntarily, and the pain seemed to have turned into power at this moment.

"Why did you choose me?" He tilted his head back, staring intently at the monster like a stubborn child, his pupils seemingly trying to completely engulf the monster.

"Because I'm willing." The behemoth replied dismissively, as if teasing a child.

Ronald fell silent. He thought about what he could still do, about the endless giant beasts and super beasts in the world, and about the last thing his teacher had taught him.

Never compromise!

"I accept this contract!"

"Then, the contract is established." Zero Super Beast couldn't help but hum softly, as if this monster had quite a wicked sense of humor in fulfilling its plan.

"What's your name?" Ronald asked the monster, the one he might live with for the rest of his life, the one he would remember in his final moments.

“Barak, the dead, that is my name,” Zero Behemoth uttered an unfamiliar name. “But this is my alias. I will tell you my real name when you decide to use this power for the last time.”

"Alright then, Barak, I will seal you away forever and will not use your power a fourth time to free you!" the boy said stubbornly.

However, Zero Super Beast's lips curled up in a human-like manner, and it couldn't help but hum softly, as if it could see the future.

……

"Are you awake? Did you have a nightmare?" When he woke up, he found a familiar girl sitting next to him.

His nominal fiancée, after the teacher left, was also his only family.

“Hmm…” Ronald didn’t reveal anything about his dream. He just looked at the thin girl with a puzzled expression and asked, “Didn’t you leave the capital? I thought it would be a long time before we met again…”

"I'm worried about you." She poured a glass of water and handed it to Ronald, a direct confession that left him momentarily at a loss for words.

"Being a student of the monarch must be very happy, but also very tiring, right?" The girl just sat there quietly, not putting much pressure on him, like an old friend confiding in each other. "To fulfill the teacher's last wish, and to bear the hopes of everyone, leading the future of the Law Ring system, must be very tiring, right?"

Ronald didn't say anything, but simply took the glass of water. Through the reflection, he saw the bloodshot veins in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm fine. Actually, I'm the weakest. Even with the magic ring system, my senior brother can already transform into a giant beast, and my senior sister can skillfully use superhuman strength, but my super regeneration still can't do anything..."

They couldn't even save the teacher...

"No, you've already done very well." When the girl's delicate hand grasped his, Ronald was stunned, and then silently clenched his own hand as well.

“Thank you…” Ronald said, the confusion and pain on his face gone. Yes, he now had something he had to protect, a mission he had to complete, whether for his teacher or for others.

"Bang bang bang!" The door was pounded on, and the loser instantly withdrew his hand, his face returning to its usual wretched look, as if his pupils were filled with the image of a lion.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, it's very important." It was Senior Sister Wu Li's voice from outside.

"Okay!" Ronald immediately stood at attention and pushed open the door. He had expected to be met with teasing and mocking looks from his senior brothers and sisters, but each of them looked very sad.

Especially the senior sister, she looked like she was about to cry.

"What... happened..." The boy was stunned when he saw the scales that the teacher had left behind after his final self-destruction.

Ronald felt a jolt in his heart. At that moment, endless pain and confusion washed over him again. His teacher's scales were still covered in flesh and blood. He recalled yesterday's battle and the Zero Beast inside his own body...

"The teacher's scales revealed his last wishes." Wu Li pointed to the words that were now visible on the scales. Shuai Zai also saw the words on them.

Others might not realize it, but Yunxing instantly understood the seriousness of the problem: "My teacher once told me about a most hidden darkness."

His voice instantly drew everyone's attention. At that moment, he was wearing small sunglasses on the bridge of his nose for some reason, as if he was deliberately imitating his teacher's attire and style of dress. Even his tone of voice seemed to be mimicking his former teacher.

"The behemoths and super beasts may not be native products, but rather weapons deliberately modified by invaders to target us, weapons that could lead to the extinction of our civilization!" Yun Xing finally revealed the biggest secret in his heart.

At this moment, he gradually relaxed. After all, no matter how difficult the future might be, he still had the strength given by his teacher, and these two unreliable senior and junior classmates who could share the burden with him.

The scene fell silent for a moment. If Yunxing had faced the darkness and persevered to this day, then when they first heard this information, they felt an unparalleled sense of suffocation.

“I’ve already told the Speaker of the Council this news. He’s trustworthy. At least when he rescued the teacher, he really used all his family’s wealth and political resources,” Yun Xing continued, so when he looked at the young lady, he didn’t ask her to look away.

After all, her family is also a member of parliament's family.

“And now, it’s very likely that the intruder behind the scenes has made a move. The last piece of information our teacher gave us might be the coordinates of the intruders behind the scenes!” Yun Xing pointed directly to the string of text, and then the four paragraphs of text turned into four sets of coordinates with a time sequence.

“That’s why I’m contacting the Speaker of Parliament. The nearest coordinates are less than two hours away.” He stood up, put away the scale of the Zero Beast, and then said, “We must fulfill our teacher’s last wish, even if it costs us our lives.”

……

The first advance team of four Hell Vanguard soldiers successfully passed through the portal and landed in a wilderness.

Here, a giant herbivorous beast, resembling a large groundhog, was leisurely eating leaves when suddenly, a terrifying electromagnetic cannon pierced its skull, causing it to collapse to the ground, its body convulsing.

Hell Vanguard flicked his black cloak and said, "Reporting to headquarters, we have landed on the surface of the behemoth planet. No civilization has been found yet, only the condition of a few behemoths. We have indeed found controllable nuclear fusion fuel inside the behemoths."

"Headquarters received. Please investigate the situation of that civilization within 5 hours and report back."
