Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

“Child... I'm sorry, it was my fault…”

Chapter 59 My older sister is the best

Yuan Zhinü had a very long dream.

In my dream, it was the town of Shikari, where it always seemed to be raining.

She knew perfectly well that she was dreaming, and coldly watched her younger self in the dream struggle endlessly, trying every possible way to break free from the predicament, but ultimately failing.

Yuan Zhinü always hated her own uselessness. Weakness was the greatest original sin in this violent world. The three years in Tokyo almost transformed her. Her bloodline breakthrough once made her think that she had finally taken control of her destiny.

But in that final, exhausting battle, the closest she ever came to death, that sense of powerlessness once again enveloped her. She seemed to have reverted to the weak girl from the small town of Shikatri, completely at the mercy of others.

She was ultimately not strong enough.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, if you want to control the reins of destiny, you must possess the greatest power. If the next generation level is not enough, then go for the first generation. If the first generation level is not enough, then break through the limits.

If killing Deadpool isn't enough to boost your power, what about pure-blooded dragons? What about the Dragon King, the White King, or even the Black King?

Genjiro's mind was clearer than ever before. This world has always been dangerous, and the crisis in Japan is only a small part of it. If it is as the original work says, all the Dragon Kings will awaken, and in the end, it will definitely be that black supreme being.

On that day, the world will restart.

Yuan Zhinü never wanted to experience this feeling of powerlessness and weakness again, and she didn't want to be forced to accept her fate in the face of such an apocalyptic scenario.

At this moment, Genji's desire to become stronger was more resolute than ever before. One day, she would cut down all threats with her blade, regardless of whether they were human, ghost, or crawling creatures.

However, at that moment, Genji suddenly sensed something quietly approaching. The footsteps were very light, but they were heading straight for her.

Yuan Zhinv suddenly opened her eyes. In front of her was an unfamiliar ceiling. Her brain was dizzy for a moment. When she came to her senses, she saw a little face full of worry, looking at her anxiously.

Erii huddled by the bedside, only half her head showing. Her dark red eyes were filled with guilt. When she saw Genji wake up, her eyes lit up for a moment, but were quickly filled with tension again.

Upon seeing Erii, Genji breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Why are you here?"

Erii carefully held up the notebook while observing Genjiro, as if she was afraid that she would get angry. This girl, who was as blank as a sheet of paper, was too easy to understand; her thoughts were written all over her face.

On her little notebook was written: Sister, I'm sorry.

Genji reached out and touched the girl's soft hair, her voice unconsciously softening: "Sister doesn't blame Erii, Erii isn't sad."

The girl became visibly happy, her dark red eyes sparkling like those of a bewildered fawn in the forest.

Seeing that Genji really didn't blame her, Erii gradually grew bolder and began trying to climb onto the bed.

Genji didn't know what this cat-like girl was up to, so she didn't stop her. She watched as Erii cheerfully kicked off her shoes, darted under the covers, and finally, with sparkling eyes, held up her little notebook:

Erii stayed with her older sister.

Yuan Zhinü was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, a soft cough came from outside the door.

"Eri, don't bother your sister, she needs to rest."

Erii pulled the blanket over her head, pretending not to hear.

"Oh, this child."

The old man sighed as he walked in, and his gaze softened noticeably when he saw Yuan Zhinü: "You've been asleep for three days now, are you feeling alright?"

Yuan Zhinu frowned as she looked at the old man. He was not wearing a trench coat or a ramen uniform, but ordinary casual clothes, looking like an ordinary old man.

But his identity is anything but ordinary: Uesugi Kotsu, the strongest emperor in the history of the Snake Clan, the true supreme ruler of the underworld, and her biological father.

Yuan Zhinv still remembered the divine general who appeared at the last critical moment, but she didn't have time to think about it then. Now she was finally able to ask the question that had been bothering her.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to care about anything? Why did you come back in the end? Since you decided to leave, why did you turn back?"

Uesugi Koshi scratched his head, looking extremely guilty, and even avoided looking into Genji's eyes.

Just a few days ago, he was indeed preparing to leave Japan, and had even bought a ticket to France.

His heart had been dulled for decades, like a wooden fish in a temple that hadn't been struck for a long time and had gradually become covered in dust.

Japan's fate was none of his concern, nor was the survival of the underworld. He was someone who shouldn't have been born, who lived the wrong life, and who wasted the most important people in his life.

He's barely clinging to life now, still reluctant to die, but ultimately this world has nothing to do with him anymore.

He was a man who had abandoned the world and was abandoned by the world, so he wanted to escape.

But just as he was about to board the escape plane, Sakurai Kogure stopped him.

The alluring woman seemed to know she couldn't persuade him, so she didn't say much, but simply showed him some photos.

Those were all photos of a girl. In every photo, she was covered in wounds. Her face in the photos was becoming more and more mature and cold. Only her back view remained lonely and stubborn, just like when she left alone on that rainy night.

Kogure Sakurai said to him, "I don't expect you to help us, but I feel that you should at least fulfill some of your responsibilities as a father."

Looking at the lonely girl in the photo, Uesugi Kotsushi's long-dormant, wooden-fish-like heart seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, dust falling in a flurry, and his heart began to pound.

"But... how could I have a child?" Uesugi asked blankly, his doubts already wavering.

He recalled that dark, rainy night, the girl's slender figure lingering in his mind. The unease that had been nagging at him seemed to have found its answer, though he dared not believe it.

“They were conceived through in vitro fertilization. You provided a genetic sample to the Germans back then. If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself.”

Sakurai Kogure looked directly into the old woman's eyes: "She grew up alone, and now she's going to die alone. I hope that at least you can attend her funeral."

After saying this, the beautiful and charming girl bowed deeply to him, then turned and left, leaving the old man alone in a daze.

At this moment, Uesugi Kotsushi was extremely grateful that he had not left but had chosen to investigate, and in the end, he narrowly made it back.

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he actually went to France.

"I'm sorry, I was such a jerk. I almost did something wrong again. I've been making mistakes my whole life, Chinu... can you forgive me?"

He cautiously looked at Yuan Zhinv, but the girl was just staring blankly.

She found the world utterly absurd. As a child, she had countless times wished that someone in the world would believe her, but no one did.

Now she's used to facing everything alone, completely giving up all hope, and when she doesn't need anyone to believe her, everyone comes to apologize to her.

But she no longer needs to apologize.

A sense of weariness gradually welled up in her heart, when suddenly a soft, warm body snuggled into her arms. Genji looked down and saw Erii reach out and clumsily pat her head.

She held up the little notebook to her, her beautiful eyes crinkling.

Sister, don't be angry. You're the best.

Chapter 60 Demanding an Explanation

The girl's hands were soft and warm. She awkwardly imitated the way Yuan Zhinv had ruffled her hair before, and gently touched Yuan Zhinv's forehead.

She looked so serious, with a solemn expression, as if she were doing something extremely important.

Yuan Zhinv was amused by the girl's appearance, and the weariness in her heart was suddenly swept away.

She looked at Uesugi Koshi and suddenly said, "I want to leave Japan."

Uesugi Kotsu was taken aback and looked at her helplessly. After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Okay, you don't need to worry about the Snake Clan. I will handle it. With me here, no one else can cause any trouble."

He paused, then spoke hesitantly, his tone cautious as if afraid of annoying his rambling: "But where are you going? It's not safe outside right now..."

Yuan Zhinv thought for a moment and said, "I still want to go to Kassel College."

She wants to become stronger, so she needs to kill servants or other things with dragon blood, especially those monarchs. She has a very good idea about this now.

In this regard, she felt that she and Angers would have more in common. Although they had just had a fight and almost lost their lives, those were minor issues and nothing serious.

But Uesugi was quite taken aback when he heard this: "Kassel College? What are you going there for? I haven't even settled the score with that old bastard Angers for taking advantage of me!"

"Just consider this my sudden realization that there's no future in being in the underworld," said a delinquent girl who dropped out of high school to join the gang.

Uesugi Koshi: "..."

The former underworld boss's expression was somewhat distorted, but he couldn't bear to refute the girl. In the end, he could only nod with difficulty: "Yes, there's no future in being in the underworld, so I went to sell ramen."

Genjiro showed a rather approving expression and continued, "The incomplete White King in the Japan Trench is reviving. If possible, let's see if we can find it."

As she spoke, she licked her lips, a look of anticipation in her eyes: "If you can find it, you must tell me, and I'll come back and solve it."

What is being solved? What is being solved?

Why does this girl get as excited as if she's seeing her favorite food when talking about the extremely terrifying existence of the White King?

Uesugi Kotsugi was somewhat dazed. He wondered if he had misheard. Ever since he realized that he had done something wrong again, causing the girl in front of him to suffer since childhood, Uesugi Kotsugi had felt an unspeakable guilt towards Genji.

In his mind, such a sensible and well-behaved girl had suffered a lot, and he thought she must be incredibly fragile, but now it seems that she is not quite the same as he imagined.

However, he quickly convinced himself that it was normal to have some sharpness in such an extreme environment.

So he said, "Okay."

"But you should rest first. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you need to recuperate properly. Wait until Kassel College starts before going there. They're still on holiday there, aren't they? The Ghost Clan needs you to keep things in order."

Yuan Zhinü closed her eyes without objection. She was indeed exhausted during this period, especially after being tense for so many years. Now that she was finally free, she really needed to rest.

Seeing that the girl had fallen into a deep sleep, Uesugi wanted Erii to leave, but Erii huddled in the blankets, clinging tightly to Genji, refusing to leave and pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

Uesugi Kotsushi was quite helpless, but seeing that Erii was just sleeping obediently next to Genji, he gave up.

He reached out and covered the two girls with blankets. Looking at their quiet and well-behaved sleeping faces, Uesugi Kotsushi's heart almost melted. His aged face was full of a loving father's affection.

He quietly left the room, but froze when he saw the person at the door.

A fleeting look of kindness crossed his face, and Uesugi Kotsugi's expression gradually became complicated: "Why are you here?"

The boy stood alone outside the door, his face pale and his expression haggard, with white bandages faintly visible beneath his open clothes.

“I wanted to see the girl,” Yuan Zhisheng’s voice was hoarse and filled with exhaustion. “But I knew she didn’t want to see me, so I didn’t go in.”

In just a few days, the once spirited young master became much thinner, looking as if all his energy had been drained away, leaving him as an empty shell like a walking corpse.

Looking at the haggard and tired boy in front of him, Uesugi Kotsugu's expression became increasingly complicated. After learning the whole truth, he had also blamed Genjiro in his heart. Of the three children, only he had been aiding and abetting evil, and had even hurt his sister.

But seeing the boy so distraught, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Ultimately, he was also deceived. Although he foolishly did wrong things, he also paid the price for it.

It's all his fault. If he had known sooner, perhaps these children wouldn't have had to suffer.

Uesugi sighed softly, reached out and patted the boy's thin shoulder, his voice softening: "If you know you're wrong, then go and make amends."

His gaze gradually drifted away, and the old man seemed to have thought of something, murmuring, "As long as we're still alive, it's not too late."
