Chapter 124
After hearing the other party address him, Xu Ziling was immediately stunned and kicked him. He kicked the kneeling Smoker to the ground and said angrily:
"What did you call me just now?"
"Uh... Taijun?"
The Smoker quickly climbed up with the help of the ground, blinked his eyes, and said,
"Any questions? Before coming to Far East Province, I did some research... People here seem to like the title of 'Taijun' very much. It seems to be a courtesy to high-ranking officials and benefactors in the local area..."
Now Xu Ziling was completely trapped in Bengbu. He kicked the Smoker in the chest again and again. After kicking him to the ground, he pointed at his face and said:
"Do you think I look like a Far East person? An American, you can choose to shut up if you don't know how to speak. You should think about how to answer my questions in a simple and efficient way, instead of using these flattering words to please me, which will only make me upset. Annoyance, do you know?"
"I understand, I understand."
The Smoker looked at Xu Ziling's golden hair and saw that he did not look like a Far Easterner. He nodded quickly and added,
"That Taijun... No, sir! As for the monster you called 'Vishnu'... It was a screw-up. Not only did that damn monster illegally break into my American territory, but it also transformed into a human body like your Eastern monsters! It accumulated its own armed forces in America through a fake identity, and more importantly... It did not pay taxes! !
Even in the end, it occupied my Black Palace! It destroyed my country, endangered my people... and slept with my woman! It really deserves to die! ! Sir, if you have a grudge against him, please kill that dog thing! ! "
When the Smoker said this, his face was full of grief and indignation. Judging from his expression, he did not look like a liar. At least... the last sentence should be true.
However, these are obviously extra words, and Xu Ziling's focus is not here.
What Xu Ziling cares about is that Vishnu can actually construct a human body for himself...
Generally speaking, Honkai beasts below the Judgment level, even the Emperor level, can only appear in the form of beasts. Due to various restrictions, they cannot construct a human body for themselves.
And the Judgment-level Honkai beasts must also be helped by the Herrscher to construct a human body. The reference case is the Judgment-level Honkai beast Benares in the later generations.
It was because she was given the core of the Pseudo-Herrscher by the Herrscher of the Void in the later generations, Sirin. With the help of that core, she was able to construct a human body named "Bella".
Similarly, as long as she loses that core, she will turn into the form of Honkai beast again. The control of this point lies in the core of the Pseudo-Herrscher, not Bella herself.
It can be seen from this that if Honkai beasts want to construct a human body, it is definitely not something that can be created just by saying it, at least it must meet the minimum standard of "Pseudo-Herrscher".
In other words, Smoker said that Vishnu can construct a human body... Does it also mean that the emperor-level Honkai beast has grown to the standard of a pseudo-herrscher...
But this is not right...
Xu Ziling shook his head and rejected his previous idea.
Because Herrscher, even if it is just a pseudo, is definitely not an achievement that Honkai beast can achieve with its own strength... Of course, the end of the law level is an exception, but if Vishnu has already grown to the end of the law level, he would have swept the entire pre-civilization long ago, and there is no need to be the mastermind behind Smoker.
Excluding the end of the law level Honkai beast, the biggest difference between Herrscher and Honkai beast is that Herrscher is the flesh and blood of Honkai, while Honkai beast is the lice and fleas on Honkai.
Even if it is a Herrscher companion beast, it can only be regarded as a pet dog at most.
And a "pet dog" can never replace the child of Honkai. Even if this child is just a pseudo-creature picked up, not a biological child, the child is still a child after all. Pets are still pets after all.
Of course... we can't generalize everything. As I said before, besides achieving the end-of-law-level Honkai beast, Honkai beasts actually have another way to build human bodies.
Master at least one core of a pseudo-law-maker...
"Wait..."
Xu Ziling suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and looked at the smoker and said,
"You just said... where did Vishnu appear for the first time?"
"America?"
The smoker blinked and told the truth,
"That dog Dong
Where exactly was the monster born... To be honest, I'm not sure. But the first time I saw it, it was in Arizona, America.
At that time, my former assistant died unexpectedly. I reconvened the selection of presidential assistants there, and then... the monster came with a human face... Oh! My God, if I could go back in time, I would definitely slap me hard in the face. How could I choose it to be my assistant just because it looks good..."
Hearing this, Xu Ziling raised his eyebrows and said:
"Didn't you just say it slept with your woman? Why are you saying it's beautiful now?"
"Uh..."
The smoker scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and said,
"Sir... I think these two points should not conflict. "
"..."
After Xu Ziling held his forehead, he asked again,
"Is Vishnu still in the Americas now?"
The Smoker nodded and said:
"At least when I left America for Shenzhou... that damned dog was still sleeping in my Black Palace."
"Is that so..."
Xu Ziling nodded secretly.
America... Black Palace...
Xu Ziling still remembered that when he was pulled by the God of Disaster to talk yesterday, the God of Disaster told him that if he wanted to become "his" child, he had to take back his other half of the Herrscher core. Now Xu Ziling is just an incomplete Herrscher of Reason.
And the God of Disaster also said that the other half of his missing core is in the Americas... Xu Ziling needs to go and find the more specific location himself.
Now, the Smoker said that there is a Herrscher on the Americas. Looking at such a growing Honkai beast that can construct a human body as a "pseudo-hermeneutics"... If this is a coincidence, then it is too much of a coincidence.
I am afraid... Vishnu swallowed the other half of his core that was left in America, and then transformed into a pseudo-hermeneutics, and then constructed a human body.
"You can't find it after searching everywhere..."
After realizing that Vishnu is most likely the guy who took away his other half of the core, Xu Ziling's green eyes flickered slightly. Then, he looked at the smoker and said,
"In addition to simulating a human body... has Vishnu ever shown other abilities?"
"Other abilities..."
The smoker thought about it, then slapped his forehead and said,
"Hey!...Sir! Speaking of which, that dog thing called Vishnu may really be your destined opponent!
Look, sir, you can make things disappear out of thin air with a wave of your hand... For example, you made me disappear from reality and transferred me to this space.
As for that dog Vishnu…it doesn’t seem to be able to make something disappear, but I often see it can ‘make something appear’! I don’t know what that ability is, but I heard that dog mutter something after it made something appear…ah, words like ‘incomplete’… ‘mimicry’… ‘construction’. "
Very good, what the smoker said is completely right.
Xu Ziling himself is an incomplete Ruler of Reason, and half of his power is analysis and disassembly... Starting from Xu Ziling's own half of power, it is not difficult to guess that the other half of the core that Xu Ziling is missing should be understanding and construction.
So...
It turned out that it was Vishnu, the growing Honkai beast, who took away his other half of the core...
And that guy is now entrenched in the American continent.
I don't know since when, the word "America" seems to have been lingering in Xu Ziling's ears. How to describe this feeling... Just like the stand users will attract each other, Vishnu entrenched in America is attracting Xu Ziling to go there.
And Xu Ziling is indeed I have to go there.
First, I can get back the other half of the core and prove my strength to the God of Collapse;
Second, as Vishnu is a growth-type stand, the sooner he is killed, the better. Otherwise, when it accumulates enough power, it will give Xu Ziling a three-year deadline to welcome the return of the Dragon King, and then Xu Ziling will have a lot of fun.
Although Xu Ziling can now control three powers, even if Vishnu Dragon King returns, Xu Ziling still has a great chance of winning... But Xu Ziling is not a person who likes to procrastinate, and he doesn't like to make things complicated, so it's better to kill Vishnu as soon as possible, and try not to give it time to develop.
Besides... excluding the other half of the rational core controlled by Vishnu, Vishnu himself is also a walking research data. Mobius told Xu Ziling yesterday that she wanted to launch the Fusion Warrior Plan
. If Xu Ziling could bring Vishnu's body back to his own doctor at this time, Mobius would be very happy...
Of course.
The premise for achieving all this is that the smoker did not "lie" to Xu Ziling...
"Very good... I have roughly understood the information about Vishnu."
After Xu Ziling nodded, he took up the Seven Thunders of Purification in his hand, looked directly at a point, and the Seven Thunders of Purification turned into thunder and light and dissipated.
"Now let's talk about you... Mr. President of America, how do you want me to believe you?"
As Xu Ziling's mind flashed, the stones drifting in this deep purple subspace flew over in response. Xu Ziling sat on the floating stone, looked down at the Smoker, and said,
"No matter how you whitewash it... it is you who caused the Herrscher of Thunder to come early. Now, I will give you one minute to prove your innocence to me. If you can't... ha, then Mr. President of America, you must have done a lot of killing people after getting intelligence, right?"
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the Smoker.
Xu Ziling, who keenly caught this point, took the opportunity to speak:
"Of course, Mr. President of America, you are visiting Shenzhou as a death warrior. From this point of view, I admire your courage to not fear death.
But admiration is admiration. In fact, for death warriors, death may be something they do that is not worth mentioning. But... Mr. President, if I remember correctly, when you threatened Lei Dian Long Ma again yesterday, the explanation you gave was 'In order to protect my people from harm, you must die'... Then you should not want to see your people living in a continent of collapse and raging in the future, right?"
Sure enough, when Xu Ziling threatened the American people, the hesitant expression of the smoker turned pale in an instant, and he stretched out his hands and made an "X" above his head. He said:
"NoNoNo!
No! Sir, calm down, calm down! My country is innocent... How about this, sir, if you don't believe me, I can tell you my presidential key. This thing is equivalent to my life. Without this thing, the parliament can kill me at any time. I tell you now, it should be enough to show my loyalty, right? Really! How dare I lie to you, Master! Everything that happened the day before yesterday was forced to me by that dog Vishnu!"
Seeing the reaction of the smoker, Xu Ziling raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the slightly fat and greasy American in front of him was actually a leader who cared about the country and the people...
But obviously, no matter whether the smoker really loves the country and the people, these are not his reasons and excuses for helping the tiger and using Shenzhou to block the knife.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ziling raised his hand, and his flesh and blood began to wriggle violently in the next moment. The veins on his right hand burst out and swayed like plant roots.
Blood seeped out of Xu Ziling's skin, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a seed with a faint red glow in his right hand.
[Seed of Plenty]
Also known as...
[Vampire Flesh Bud]
Speaking of which, after Xu Ziling pulled out Jingliu's cute body, he had never really used the power of the Seed of Plenty. Now, Smoker is lucky enough to be the first person to be sown with flesh buds by Xu Ziling.
Once the Seed of Plenty takes root in Smoker's mind, then according to the system's introduction, Smoker will no longer have the possibility of resisting him. He can also control his life and death at any time and imprison any possible variables in his palm.
Although Kafka's [Word Spirit Technique] can also play a similar role, it is obviously not as convenient to use as the long-distance automatic flesh bud.
"Pah."
Xu Ziling flicked the Seed of Plenty in his hand out in an instant, just like flicking a marble. And, it hit the forehead of Smoker accurately.
The moment it came into contact with flesh and blood, the Seed of Plenty, which had just restrained its breath, instantly opened a black and red vertical pupil, and the roots of the plant popped out like tentacles, madly drilling into the flesh and blood of the Smoker's forehead. This small seed will use its roots to pierce the Smoker's skull and connect directly to its brain!
"Ugh!..."
The pain of the skull being pierced made the Smoker, who was already exhausted physically and mentally, scream and faint directly.
Xu Ziling watched the Seed of Plenty planted on the Smoker's forehead, and after feeling that he could control the other party's life and death at any time, he nodded slightly with satisfaction and left at the same time. Returning his consciousness from this subspace to reality.
...
After returning to the real plane, Xu Ziling found that
Mobius, who was sitting in the back seat, had already woken up and was chatting with Vivi.
"Dr. Mobius, about the Herrscher of Thunder... are you sure he is the father of the girl named MEI?"
Vilvi rubbed her chin and said,
"MEI... is the rising star in the scientific research forum recently! Even though my major in mechanics is not the same field as hers, I have heard about her! I never thought... Miss MEI's father is actually the Herrscher of Thunder... When this matter gets out, I'm afraid that Miss MEI will face endless rumors from public opinion..."
"MEI is not as fragile as you think, Vivi."
Mobius hugged his chest, paused, and added,
"Also, watch your mouth. I have already been monitored by satellites. The magnetic field storm caused by the birth of the Herrscher of Thunder , shielding the satellite surveillance. Now, except for us, no one knows that the Herrscher of Thunder is Raiden Ryuma... So if you don't want Miss MEI to be heartbroken, just keep your mouth shut and think that... Raiden Ryuma was killed by Honkai Beast. "
"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I'll pay attention later... But Dr. Mebius, as one of the few people who know the truth, don't we really need to comfort Miss MEI? Miss MEI should also have the right to know the truth, right?"
"She has the right to know the truth... but not now. You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."
"Okay..."
Noticing that Mobius and Vivi had more or less regretful expressions, Xu Ziling silently turned his head and looked out the window of the plane.
The process of Raiden Ryuma transforming into the Herrscher is irreversible.
But the person who caused Raiden Ryuma to become the Herrscher of Thunder in advance... was Smoker.
And behind Smoker, the guy who manipulated all this was Vishnu.
The plane is still moving.
Clouds flashed past the window, and the endless sea.
On the other side of the sea... there seemed to be a monster roaring and provoking. It tried every means to attract Xu Ziling.
Thinking of the scene when Thunder Dragon Horse died at the end, Xu Ziling silently clenched his fists.
Even the God of Collapse Xu Ziling could not do anything to it.
But Vishnu... heh...
