This is like a high-stakes gamble!
If you win the bet, you can replace yourself as a unique "god" in this world; if you lose...
When the body dies, the Tao dissipates, and all successes and failures in life turn to nothingness.
Looking at the scene at the entrance of the research institute again, even though it wasn't the first time, Herzog once again experienced the power of an individual.
These Deadpools are beings who failed in their experiments with bloodline evolution potions; however, they failed for humans but succeeded for dragons.
Because they truly succeeded in crossing the line of dragon bloodline and completing their evolution.
Their bloodlust after falling into the Deadpool has made them even more fearless, and their combat power will definitely increase in a confined space.
The result was that Herzog's prized Death Servants, which served as his defensive force, were slaughtered as easily as chickens and dogs in front of Cao Han.
The jet-black longsword in Cao Han's hands was no different from the Grim Reaper's scythe; with each swing, it could reap the lives of countless Dead Servants.
What Herzog couldn't understand was Cao Han's motive for doing this.
It was assumed that the executive officer from Kassel College, who had arrived earlier, would send reinforcements, but only Cao Han was recruited.
After entering the research institute alone, he appeared calm and unhurried, even offering two paths for him to choose from...
Completely unpredictable!
“He did it on purpose!” That was Herzog’s first judgment.
The Deadpool Legion may seem numerous, but it will eventually run out of resources, and Cao Han's slaughter efficiency is absolutely top-notch.
The corridor leading from the entrance into the laboratory was littered with the remains of Deadpools, and layers upon layers of spilled blood.
The ground felt sticky underfoot, and each step left a colorful footprint.
"What do you want? I can give it to you."
It seems the king still wants to make a last-ditch effort, or rather, buy a little more time for the main body in the laboratory. "How about the formula for the bloodline evolution potion? I'll give it to you as long as you can put your hands down!"
Bloodline Evolution Potion?
Cao Han scoffed and shook his head, his heart filled with disdain.
The name sounds impressive, but in reality, it only fools uninformed mixed-race people.
Even for descendants of the White King, using this bloodline evolution potion is extremely unstable, with a high risk of turning into a dead servant at any moment.
Any ambitious hybrid faction must have researched bloodline-related potions, but whether they could successfully develop them remains to be seen.
As the enemy drew ever closer, the king's expression behind his mask was incredibly ugly. Armed with no weapons, he was no match for the swarms of undead he had just encountered.
"If you spare me, I'll acknowledge you as my master, okay?"
Herzog spent many years in Japan, and while he was exposed to Japanese culture, he inevitably also came into contact with the culture of Japan's former colonial power.
Military books, especially those on the Thirty-Six Stratagems, were his favorites.
I've also heard the story of King Goujian of Yue enduring hardship and humiliation. Herzog seems to want to emulate that, first enduring humiliation to preserve his life, and then re-establishing himself after acquiring the White King's power.
The idea was good, but unfortunately Herzog was unaware of Cao Han's existence as "Brother Tongzi," and even less aware that he was on the death list for the hunting mission.
No matter how eloquently you speak, it won't change the inevitable demise.
Swah——
Cao Han was already getting annoyed by Wang Jiang's incessant chatter, so he decisively struck with his sword once he entered the attack range.
Under the effect of the Word of Power: Time Zero, the king didn't even have a chance to react.
One second they were trying to keep talking and use "words" to buy time, and the next second their heads rolled to the ground with a "thud".
Looking at the security camera in the corner of the corridor, Cao Han slightly raised his head so that the camera could capture his face perfectly, and smiled brightly: "It's almost time~"
There's a Taiwanese movie called "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils," and his current actions can also be considered as eliminating three evils.
As of now... 2/3!
First it was Tachibana Masamune, then the King General from before; two out of the three were gone, leaving only the final true form, Herzog.
The alloy door, which was incredibly sturdy and could not be broken by anything other than heavy weapons, was as easy as paper in front of Cao Han's black knife, and a hole as tall as a person was easily cut through it.
A hidden paradise!
This was Cao Han's most direct impression after he had formally entered the laboratory and made a general observation: "Old Bi Deng is quite good at enjoying himself at his age, he doesn't mistreat himself at all."
"thump!"
"thump!"
The laboratory at the far end was completely silent; you could hear your own heartbeat clearly. Herzog knew he was practically dangling over a cliff edge.
Cao Han remained unmoved by Wang Jiang's various suggestions, seemingly determined to kill him.
Herzog possesses both the patience and ruthlessness expected of a seasoned strategist, as well as the decisiveness of a ruthless leader.
"A 70% success rate is enough!"
The red liquid in the syringe may be invisible to the naked eye, but the parasitic microorganisms in the liquid can be detected with the most advanced photon microscope.
Without further hesitation, Herzog gritted his teeth and chose the most direct method, stabbing the artery in his neck.
This is the most aggressive injection method chosen.
The power of the White King's bloodline surged into Herzog's body, and along with the blood, the unique authority of the White Emperor also entered his body.
His pupils grew brighter and brighter, as if lava was flowing in his eyes. White threads began to grow on his body, and his skin gradually became smooth and moist, with a baby-like red hue.
A violent force surged through the body along with the blood, creating a sensation as if the body were a constantly inflated balloon about to burst.
Amidst the intense pain, he opened his arms, letting himself be gradually enveloped by the fine threads, gritting his teeth to adapt to the surging, overwhelming power.
The powerful aura and the suppression of his bloodline caused Cao Han's steps to falter slightly. He then realized that Herzog must have finally made up his mind to absorb the White King's power.
The dense, fine filaments were like tentacles, absorbing all living things and flesh wherever they touched, including all the Japanese-mixed blood that Herzog had stored in the laboratory.
This blood was originally intended for research on bloodline evolution potions, but now it has become the best "nourishment" for awakening!
When the last metal door blocking the way was rudely destroyed, Cao Han appeared in the laboratory...
Herzog, inside the white cocoon, extended a pure white claw and tore it open from the inside out. The perfect creature suddenly rose from the crack, hovering in the air and spreading its white membranous wings, which looked like a giant cross.
He was strikingly handsome, graceful and elegant, somewhere between an angel and a devil, like a flawless being filled with supreme majesty.
He is the new White King, Herzog the White King, a great being second only to the Black King. In the era when the Black King no longer exists, He is the only throne in the entire world!
Faced with the White King's parasitic spirit, which had just been severely damaged by Cao Han, Herzog, who had endured for many years, ultimately prevailed, completely devouring the opponent and seizing power.
He was overjoyed to feel the surging power within him. With each breath he took, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were forced to breathe in and out as well, and he had complete control over all the elements in the air.
Red fire, blue water, black earth, and white sky—the chaotic elemental storm seemed to be celebrating the birth of a new king.
The geographical structure of the four main islands of Japan naturally appeared in his mind. Every crustal defect and every magma channel was so clear. This was the memory of his ancestors that came with the awakening of his bloodline. He inherited everything that the Yamata no Orochi once had: power, bloodline, authority, and even memories.
At the end of my memory, there is still the epic battle that took place not long ago at the Shrine of the Gods, Takamagahara, and a trace of fear lurking in the deepest part of my soul.
Realizing something was wrong through his memories, Herzog flapped his membrane wings, and a sudden gust of wind swept through the entire laboratory, crashing through the ceiling and attempting to soar into the sky...
"Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"
Seeing Herzog completely ignoring his desire to escape by swimming in the sea, Cao Han felt it was necessary to make the other party realize what reality was.
Even the original White King can't beat him, so why are you, a Putian product, so arrogant?
A pair of footprints sank into the metal floor, and Cao Han, exerting sudden force, leaped up to the high position of the White King Herzog.
To the astonishment of the other party, he twisted his waist and lashed out with his right leg like a whip.
Herzog's greatly improved strength meant that he was no longer as powerless to resist Cao Han as he had been before, but the extent of his resistance was still quite limited.
In the chaos, there was no way to make an effective counterattack. The immense force acted on his body so quickly that countless bones broke.
"Dr. Herzog, no, no, I should say the noble New White King, where are you in such a hurry to run off to?"
Herzog remained silent.
He was a newborn dragon, the successor of the White King, yet he dared not speak before this monster.
Through the memories he inherited from Yamata no Orochi, he learned more of the "truth," and after resolving some of the doubts, even more doubts arose.
It's impossible for a hybrid to produce a monster like Cao Han, so what if this monster was originally a pure-blooded dragon?
Then everything makes sense.
But then comes an even bigger question: how could a pure-blooded dragon resist the White Emperor, who was second only to the emperor?
Is the power to pin the White King's true form, Yamata no Orochi, to the ground, and the spirit to disregard the effects of Word of Judgment, truly scientific, or is this truly the power of dragons?
"Who are you? What are you? What exactly are you?" Herzog struggled to get up from the ground, roaring angrily.
“I am Cao Han, didn’t you already know that?” Cao Han smiled. “As for what I am, that’s none of your business.”
"It's you! It's you! It must be you!" After a brief silence, Herzog roared again, his expression frenzied. "You are Him!"
"I understand who you're referring to as 'him,' but I regret to inform you that you're wrong." Cao Han flicked his ear with his little finger, seemingly unable to bear the other's peak-like, hysterical screaming.
"Impossible! Impossible! I absolutely am not wrong! I absolutely am not wrong!" Herzog was in a state of extreme shock and collapse. The kick he had just delivered in mid-air brought back the fear of being dominated by Cao Han's power. "I am the White King! Only a being as great as him can defeat the White King!"
"Alright, alright, is this your last words?" Cao Han said impatiently. "The former White King hasn't even passed his seventh day memorial yet. If you walk quickly after you die, you might be able to keep someone company on the Bridge of Helplessness and not be lonely."
Herzog suddenly opened his mouth, but this time it wasn't a venting roar or scream; instead, it was a deafening chant.
It controlled the turbulent flow of elements in the space. The fire element, as blazing as the sun, condensed and then exploded violently, looking like a napalm bomb exploding not far from Cao Han.
Word of Power: Lord's Flame!
After inheriting the White King's power, Herzog naturally acquired the ability of high-level Word Power, and could imitate and use Word Power as long as it was not an ancient power exclusive to the four kings.
He was once a cunning human, and now he is a cunning dragon. His chaotic roars and screams just now were merely to distract Cao Han, but in reality, he was secretly preparing to unleash his power of words at any moment.
"Cancel."
Cao Han calmly snapped his fingers, and the violent fire elements that Jun Yan had unleashed instantly became docile as if they had received a command when they reached him.
After his bloodline broke through to the next generation, he discovered that he also possessed the power to control certain elements.
While it may not be possible to release other series of high-risk Words of Power with a flick of the finger like the White King, controlling the elements individually after releasing the Words of Power is still easy and no problem.
If one plan fails, another will be devised.
Following closely behind is the high-level Word of Power of the Sky and Wind series: Eye of the Wind King.
