Poor King Bai, not only did he die without a complete corpse, but Cao Han also had to dismember and break his body, leaving only a spine nearly a hundred meters long.
The last remaining vertebra, containing the power of the White King's bloodline, presented Cao Han with a bit of a dilemma, as its nearly 100-meter length was also not very convenient to bring back.
Perhaps sensing the hesitation in Cao Han's eyes, Jiu De Mai felt she could still salvage the situation and decisively offered a reminder:
"In fact, only the lower middle section of the grayish-white holy remains contains the power of bloodline. The rest are newly formed flesh and bone that died too quickly to be assimilated."
"oh?!"
As expected, Cao Han discovered a small section of his spine in the lower middle section that was a completely different color, grayish-white and looked old. Perhaps this was the sacred remains left behind by the gods after their death in Japanese mythology.
Chapter 92 The New Leader
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! Chip Girl, think of something quick! What if that hunk guy kills me to silence me?"
"In our Chinese mythology, there are records that dragons are inherently lustful. In addition, the data shows that this muscular man should still be single. Why don't you try seducing him?"
Through the earpiece came Su Enxi's whispered, mischievous idea.
If there were other options, Mai Shude would have been so angry that she would have punched the other person's butt until he begged for mercy. What kind of situation is this, that he still has the mood to make such a joke?
"He doesn't even give me the time of day with such a senior student right beside him, how could he possibly...?"
"Maybe they're not interested in blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners, and are only attracted to your black hair and yellow skin."
"I...%￥@！*&" Mai Shude wavered for a moment, but only for a moment. "I mean, see if I can contact the boss. I think there's still a chance to save myself."
The reason why Mai Shude thought Cao Han would kill her to silence her was mainly because Cao Han openly switched back to human form from dragon form right in front of her.
Right now, he's wielding a black knife, chopping off his spine piece by piece.
After the over 100-meter-long, thick spine was decomposed, only a section of grayish-white relic, just over a meter long, remained, still retaining the White King's bloodline power.
In Cao Han's perception, the bloodline ability contained in the vertebral bone remains in his hand seemed to have lost the spiritual imprint of the White King after being devoured by "Brother Tongzi," becoming harmless.
In the original work, Herzog needed to use Erii Uesugi, a sacred vessel, to filter and preserve the White King's bloodline power before he could seize power and become the new "White King." Now, this step should be unnecessary.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Now, let alone Herzog, I'm afraid any hybrid who has heard of the 'White Emperor' will be unable to control their greed. It's just that the quantity is a bit small, what a pity!" Cao Han shook his head regretfully.
He regretted that he had too few opportunities to take advantage of others.
If this vertebral bone remains contain enough bloodline power, it would be like exploiting a bug to mass-produce new White Kings. Harvesting evolution points and bloodline progress would be incredibly rewarding.
The reason Cao Han could so casually transform into human form in front of Mai Shude without worrying about revealing his identity was because he suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from her...
It turned out to be an old acquaintance!
"You can give it a try; maybe I'll fall for it."
Although the two were practically whispering through gritted teeth, Cao Han's hearing was absolutely superhuman, and he could still hear everything clearly.
At the same time, their conversation helped to initially identify each other.
The form-fitting wetsuit perfectly accentuated Mai Shude's curvaceous S-shaped figure, especially her incredibly long legs, which seemed to stretch forever – no wonder she's called "Long-Legged Girl"!
Case solved!
"Consort Ming's" Personal Wet Nurse Team!
Mai Shutoku was once very proud of her profession as a ninja, appearing and disappearing without a trace, assassinating enemies invisibly. However, when she became someone else's target, she realized firsthand how terrible it felt to be approached silently.
The thought that her conversation with "Potato Chip Girl" Su Enxi had been overheard made Jiu De Mai force an awkward smile.
"Excuse me, are you referring to me as the 'macho guy' you're talking about?"
If I said no, would you believe me?
"What do you think?" Cao Han gave the other person a look that said, "Don't let my mature and steady appearance fool you. I'm only eighteen years old this year. It's a bit impolite for you to call me 'brother'."
"Hehe~ If there's anything my humble lady can do for you, please feel free to ask."
Despite being able to become a "scumbag woman," Mai Shude is quite adept at emotional intelligence. She quickly realized that Cao Han's decision not to kill her to silence her meant he had ulterior motives.
Judging from the fact that the other party ignored the White King's "plea for mercy" and swiftly killed the enemy, he definitely has a decisive and ruthless personality. The fact that he did not do it directly means that he left room for maneuver.
"You were there in the suburbs that night, weren't you?"
"Huh? Which night?" Mai Shude was a little confused.
"The night you killed the Word Spirit, the Bronze Throne hybrid," Cao Han hinted. "Although you concealed your figure well, a person's aura is unique and cannot be faked, right?"
"hiss--"
The memories of her dead body flooded Mai Shude's mind, along with the violently beautiful punch, causing her to gasp involuntarily.
As for the unique aura that Cao Han mentioned about each person, only those with exceptionally keen senses can detect this invisible and intangible ethereal thing.
However, before Mai could even feel relieved that the other party had only recognized her by her aura, Cao Han's next words caused both her and Su Enxi on the other end of the earpiece to change their expressions drastically: "Your target should be Lu Mingfei, right?"
A person's subconscious micro-expressions cannot lie.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
"If you really don't know what I'm talking about, shouldn't you ask who Lu Mingfei is first? Obviously, you know who I'm talking about, don't you?"
Cao Han stared at Jiu De Mai with a sly smile that said, "You've fallen for my trap." Jiu De Mai felt a chill run down her spine. Just as she was about to continue her explanation, he preemptively changed the subject, "None of that matters! I want to know how you got to the bottom of the sea? Can you withstand the water pressure at a depth of over 8,000 meters?"
"The effect of words."
"Let's assume so. Is there a way up there?"
"Why don't you just float up?"
Mai's diving suit also has an inflatable function for rapid ascent and a built-in positioning function. Once she reaches the surface, Su Enxi will naturally lie and ask someone to meet her.
"Do you have a place to stay in Japan?"
"Have."
"Okay, then I'll 'escort' you back, is that alright?"
"No, no problem." If Mai Shude hesitated for even a second, it would be irresponsible to her own life. However, she regretted her decision after readily agreeing.
Bringing such a "beast" to their territory would feel like throwing a wolf into a tiger's den, especially since it would drag Su Enxi into danger as well.
Before leaving, Cao Han carefully inspected the battlefield, making sure that no Yamata no Orochi corpse was left behind before he felt relieved.
The burial site of the gods, "Takamagahara," was completely reduced to ruins due to the battle between Cao Han and the White King. Apart from some small fragments of bronze, it is unlikely that anyone who comes here will realize that a magnificent ancient city once existed here.
As for the Lenin... it also completely fell into the river of lava and became molten iron.
"Okay, let's go."
Under Cao Han's watchful gaze, Jiu De Mai pressed the rapid inflation button on her chest.
In an instant, the entire wetsuit expanded two or three times its original size, filled with a large amount of lightweight gas to provide buoyancy.
If we only consider the weight of the wine-loving Mai, the ascent would be a very rapid process. However, adding the astonishingly heavy Cao Han and a spine over a meter long would make it even more difficult.
at the same time.
The Japanese island on the land surface.
The moment the god was completely killed, all the natural disasters and weather phenomena that had seemed like the end of the world just moments before seemed to lose their power and vanished in an instant.
The storm subsided, and the sun shone again on the earth.
The earthquake stopped, but the massive tsunami that swept along the coastline continued relentlessly.
The erupting volcano seemed to lose its power and cooled down rapidly, thus curbing the eruption of Mount Fuji.
This left all the Japanese people, who thought they were about to say goodbye to the world, with a feeling of exhaustion as if they had survived a catastrophe.
"Thank God, I survived!!!"
"Waaaaah, why am I the only one who survived?"
"Damn it, I knew I wasn't meant to die!"
"..."
Life is full of different experiences, and different people express their emotions in different ways. But one thing is the same: only those who have walked through the gates of hell know how wonderful it is to be alive.
The deceased are gone, but the living remain.
Although most people survived because Cao Han killed the White King quickly enough, the natural disasters that occurred over those few hours caused immense damage to Japan, and the economic losses were astronomical.
The disappearance of the visions had obvious implications for everyone who knew the inside story.
The Japanese branch of the Kanto region, which also served as the temporary command center for the Hebi-Hachi family.
When the space-based kinetic energy weapon was 13 minutes away from its target location, many people were visibly stunned when they heard "the rain has stopped and the sky is clear," but the next second they were overjoyed.
Even with only a one in a million chance, the hybrids of the Snake Clan are unwilling to confront their gods.
Among those present, only Angers, who possessed inside information, was initially taken aback for a second or two, but then a gratified smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I still underestimated that kid a bit. The plan really succeeded!"
The possibility that Cao Han might actually succeed in "killing the god" would be a landmark event worthy of being recorded in history for the entire Secret Party, including the mixed-race people.
In fact...Angers felt he was definitely a greedy person.
The successful killing of the god was just the beginning. With Cao Han in the hands of the Secret Party, it was as if they possessed a butcher's knife, and many plans that only existed in their minds became possible to be realized.
Angers has never felt "revenge" so...within reach as he does now!
"Angers, your Secret Service has made its move?"
Upon realizing the god's death, Uesugi Echizen was initially filled with disbelief, then his brows furrowed and his first reaction was to act as the Secret Society, the largest dragon-slaying organization.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have imagined a second hybrid organization in the world that could potentially succeed in slaying a dragon.
"I suppose so," Angers gave an ambiguous answer.
"Yes or no, what do you mean by 'sort of'?" Uesugi Kotetsu glared at Angers, his beard bristling with annoyance. If he weren't outmatched by this old but still formidable fellow, he would definitely have given the other a taste of his fist, which was as big as a sand pot.
Most of the half-breeds of the Snake Clan also wore expressions of relief at surviving the ordeal, except for Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch, who remained silent with a dark face, as he was currently in a state of existential doubt.
The god he had painstakingly plotted against for so many years suddenly revived for some unknown reason, completely disrupting his long-planned scheme.
And then... reality showed that Tachibana Masamune, the high and mighty god, had actually fallen.
Under the watchful eyes of Angers and Uesugi Kotsugi, Tachibana Masamune was completely overwhelmed and didn't even have a chance to enter the burial site to check.
So much so that he was completely baffled as to what exactly killed the god.
“Eva”.
