Chapter 367: Is it her? No, it’s him!
Chapter 367: Is it her? No, it’s him!
After Herzog's identity was revealed, the Snake Hachika immediately found a way to gather the best team of brain and neurosurgeons in Japan to try to promptly resolve the consequences of the "pons interruption surgery" on Minamoto Chisei and Uesugi Eri.
This infamous operation originated in the 1940s, when doctors used "corpus callosum transection" to treat epilepsy. It was later widely used to treat mentally ill patients who refused to obey management. The founder of the operation also won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this.
Compared to the original version, the pontine interruption surgery performed by Herzog has gone beyond the scope of modern medicine and even has a bit of science fiction:
In the case of Genjiro, people who undergo this operation will develop "schizophrenia and dual personality", with the two halves of the brain storing one noble, righteous personality and the other violent, bestial personality. Herzog switches and controls the personality through special sound signals emitted by knocking on a wooden clapper.
After learning the details, Genno Chisei started to become emo again, and his guilt towards Genno Chijo became even deeper: the "justice" cultivated for him by "Tachibana Masamune" was a joke, and the difference between justice and evil was only in Herzog's thought; as long as he struck the gong, Genno Chisei would also become a violent evil spirit.
After Japan's top medical team was helpless, the Sheqi Eight Clan had no choice but to turn to Lu Mingfei for help.
Lu Mingfei naturally did not refuse, but their treatment was not something that could be solved in a day or two - Yuan Zhinv's condition had been alleviated after the personality of "Kazama Liuli" was shattered, and the remaining brain trauma was not worth mentioning in front of her powerful bloodline and the subsequent genetic modification project presided over by His Majesty the Emperor;
Lu Mingfei's brain was not traumatized. He had reacted to the sound of the bangzi before because he had resonated with the part of Lu Mingze's spirit that had infiltrated his body.
Therefore, under the urgency of time, Lu Mingfei decided to wait until the heretic Herzog was completely eliminated before treating the "pontine interruption" of Yuan Zhisheng and Uesugi Eri...
But in the meantime, this major hidden danger is a convenient key to the treasure house for Herzog, who set up all this.
"What a bullshit legion leader! He's nothing but a fool with nothing but strength!"
The pitch-black helicopter cut through the rain-sluicing night sky and quickly left the Genji Heavy Industries Building. Gongqing took off his pale mask, revealing a smugly smiling face.
He should have smiled more tactfully to maintain his demeanor and mystery, but he was so happy that when he saw Uesugi Eri, who was tied tightly to a stretcher with restraints and her lifeless eyes with the tears and blood that had just flowed from her eyes not yet dried, he could not contain his inner ecstasy. He laughed and angrily cursed the madman who wanted to clean up everything.
What would that madman do if he knew that Eri was taken away by him? Would he regret his arrogance and stupidity? Would he be so crazy that he wanted to rush out from the bottom of the sea immediately?
Now the most crucial chess piece is back in his hands. The whole plan has become perfect, and he only needs to execute the last step. Even if that madman rushes out from the bottom of the sea now, it will be too late.
That deity had already announced to him the wonderful scene of his ascension to the throne and becoming a god.
"Uesugi Yue... I should have brought this best bloodline nutrient with me; but this dangerous thing is beyond my control and is not part of my plan, so I'd better not add unnecessary variables."
"Asuya... What an unexpected surprise. It's a pity that you haven't been able to resolve the battle yet. I hope you can survive until I ascend the throne."
Herzog was in a very happy mood, and his smile could not hide his white teeth. "Let the world be in turmoil at this moment!"
……
"Your body is definitely different from other humans," Akechi Asuya stared at Chu Zihang with his fiery red eyes. His posture seemed a little charming at this moment. "Wait until I remove your outer iron shell and then slowly dissect your muscles and bones bit by bit. It will definitely be more interesting than dissecting a dead body."
Chu Zihang didn't say anything, but quickly picked up the grenade launcher that had been knocked out in the violent confrontation just now, and removed the empty magazine.
The tactical eyepiece built into the helmet filtered out the pouring rain and locked onto Akechi Asuya, who had now grown to a full three meters tall. The warning information quality data kept jumping.
A tail covered with scales as thick as a forest anaconda supported his magnificent upper body, which was somewhat incongruous in strength. Red scales with a beautiful luster wrapped around his iron-like muscles. A pair of new arms that had mutated into sharp blades emerged from under his ribs, and blood-red membrane wings spread out behind him. The pouring rain was evaporated into smoke by the red high temperature before it even touched him.
It is hard to imagine that the thing that can make a human mutate into such a horrible creature in less than a minute is just three brightly colored potions. If the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil really exists, then it must mean that this thing is no better than the virus they are researching?
But in Chu Zihang's understanding, those three potions represented three kinds of blasphemous chaotic energies.
The fallen ones he had just destroyed were blessed with power from another universe in this way - those potions should have been mixed with ingredients that could stimulate the hybrids' transformation into dragons, turning the hybrids from the "negative pole" of chaos resistance into the "positive pole" of chaos affinity.
But Akechi Asuya is the most special individual. Unlike other Fallen who can only accommodate one kind of chaotic power, his body can actually accommodate three different kinds of chaotic energies at the same time. These three different energies strengthen the body to an astonishing level after entering it.
"I can feel the power favored by the gods flowing through my body... I am undoubtedly the strongest person in the world right now?" Asuya waved his blade to cut through the steam, his scarlet eyes revealing a bloodthirsty desire. "After killing you, I will slowly kill your companions one by one."
This is not impossible. Those Fallen from the Kanto branch were helpless in the face of Chu Zihang's heavy armor, but the fallen Asuya possessed the power to penetrate power armor - the surface of his mutated blades was wrapped with a force field composed of unknown energy.
In the battle that just spread from indoors to outdoors, the pair of blades had penetrated the power armor and directly injured Chu Zihang's body several times.
"You will only be purified here, demon."
Chu Zihang's indifferent voice was amplified by the breathing sound grille of the helmet like a muffled thunder. Compared with it, the sound of the newly loaded magazine and the grenade launcher seemed insignificant.
However, he did not unleash his explosive firepower immediately. He just put the grenade launcher back into the magnetic lock on his waist and put away his rage at the same time.
"Rage" returned to its most primitive form. The penetration efficiency of this alchemical chainsaw sword was not very high when facing Ashiya's hard scale armor; and his exclusive weapon "Hidden Flame" was being activated from the portable sword-shaped badge. The fiery red alchemical runes spread on the sword body that expanded in the molten gold field until it restored its original giant sword form.
"Okay, then come on - give it a try!!!"
The first half of the sentence was a shrill scream, while the second half turned into an earth-shaking roar, which seemed to represent different postures affected by two different forces: the previous second it was an elegant and deadly ferocious dancer, but now it has turned into a furious metal chariot as it speeds forward.
The combat armor's life support system automatically injected combat stimulants, and at the same time, Chu Zihang's "Faith Furnace" was activated within a few tenths of a second - this was also the first time this organ was activated in reality;
The surging power of faith poured into every part of his body and merged with the hot and boiling dragon blood. The energy that erupted was as violent as sodium falling into water, providing Chu Zihang with unparalleled explosive power in his sword-dragging charge!
"boom!"
The two majestic figures collided with each other, and even the raging wind and rain were dispersed and driven away by the storm they created. The concrete ground was shattered like tiles by the powerful force.
In fact, the first thing that collided was their weapons. Chu Zihang swung the giant sword at a speed that broke the sound barrier and slashed at the demon, trying to kill the demon with one sword.
Asuya, who was strengthened by the fusion of three kinds of chaos energy, was equally powerful. Two sharp blades wrapped in penetrating force fields blocked the attacking giant sword, and the two extra arms made a fierce counterattack, breaking the sound barrier and hitting Chu Zihang's lower abdomen, which was relatively less protected by armor;
Chu Zihang changed his steps, and the ground collapsed again under his stomping. He blocked one of the punches with his shoulder armor and violently hit the opponent's snake-like lower body with the posture of Iron Mountain Leaning. Although the demon hit another heavy punch as he wished, his huge body also lost balance slightly, and lost the opportunity to follow up attack.
Even though the armor offset some of the force, the other punch actually hit Chu Zihang's side. The terrifying force seemed to want to destroy all his organs and bones in one go. The dragon scale armor shell in his body was resisting this impact...
Chu Zihang didn't care and took advantage of the moment when the demon was off balance to prepare for an attack, ready to use a close-range plasma flame burst to deal a simple and rough heavy blow to the demon; but when the concentration of the fire element gathered by the bloodline was much lower than normal, Chu Zihang immediately realized that something was wrong -
The armor system's belated warning of "'Word Spirit. Discipline' field detected" confirmed his guess, but there was no time to wait for the armor to activate the anti-interference alchemy matrix, and Chu Zihang could not just give up the attack - so he released the elements needed for Jun Yan and used the "Word Spirit Furnace" to draw the blood and qi in his body that were fused with the power of faith to forcibly synthesize them.
But the huge amount of elements needed to support the concentration and static heating of Junyan to plasma state is enough to drain him dry.
He switched to releasing the high-pressure Junyan. Compared to the more visually shocking normal Junyan, the high-pressure Junyan did not allow for actual flames to be seen. Instead, one could only see the air at the breastplate launch port becoming distorted by the invisible high temperature.
"boom!"
The opponent was inevitably blown away by the compressed high temperature and high pressure impact, but the membrane wings that stirred up the strong wind helped it to restore its balance. The colorful flames turned into fireballs in the surging storm and exploded towards Chu Zihang.
All of the above confrontations were completed in just a moment, and ordinary people could only see them separate again after the fierce collision.
Chu Zihang either dodged or swung his sword to cut off the incoming fireballs, while thinking in his mind about how to defeat the opponent.
Strength, physique, agility, reaction, and spiritual power, coupled with the powerful self-healing ability of a dragon, under the reinforcement of three different kinds of chaos energies, Akechi Asuya has gained all-round benefits.
Even its spiritual power is "discipline". After being strengthened by the energy of the Tzeentch system, the discipline field can silence Chu Zihang's strongest killing move, the plasma Junyan.
This will be a tough battle, but Chu Zihang needs to resolve it as soon as possible, preferably without any serious injuries...
Because later he will have to support another brother who is fighting alone.
……
West of Tokyo, in the Tama River Mountains.
According to the archives of the Snake Hachika, there is a giant water storage well in this environmental protection zone designated by the government. Code-named "Red Well", it extends from the Tokyo giant drainage facility built by Maruyama Construction under the Snake Hachika on behalf of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The purpose is to accommodate excess water flow in the drainage system and regulate the groundwater level in the mountainous area.
Tokyo should need it very much now - in less than half an hour, the rainfall in Tokyo increased from 100 mm to an astonishing 250 mm, and is still rising; at the same time, typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis also began to hit Tokyo, and the shadow of doomsday six months ago once again shrouded the heads of Tokyo citizens.
But now Hongjing has been given other responsibilities.
In Tokyo, which is hit by natural disasters such as hurricanes, heavy rains, and earthquakes, the Tama River mountain area where Hongjing is located is quiet, as if there is an invisible area that isolates all external interference.
The surface camouflage of Hongjing looks like a tranquil mountain lake, but in fact it is just a visual illusion.
The black helicopter descended smoothly through it, as if penetrating a layer of fog, and arrived inside the giant water storage well.
This place has been built into an underground fortress... It was secretly built by Herzog when he was still "Masamune Tachibana" and is now controlled by him personally.
The melodious dance music of "Swan Lake" sounded in the huge underground space. Herzog jumped out of the cabin of the landing helicopter with cheerful dance steps, and spun forward with perfect beats. Although he was now as ugly as a devil in the eyes of the Sheqi Eight Family, he still looked very handsome and tall on the surface.
Herzog liked this place very much because the "God" showed him the great scene of him ascending the throne and becoming the "new god" here in the future.
How could he despise the throne before his ascension to godhood?
"You look very happy, my champion warrior." someone said.
Herzog danced towards the direction where the voice came from, where a tall, inhuman creature was sitting.
It looks like a giant with a ferocious bird head, a feather-covered body with dark gold metal pendants with flames and eyes as patterns, and its black wings are folded behind it. It looks very lazily lying on its throne, with a huge beak that makes a human-like smile supported between its sharp claws, and a pair of black eyes staring at the dancing Herzog.
"Today is a day worth celebrating, Your Excellency."
Herzog said with a smug smile on his face, "I will ascend to the throne and become a god as you have declared to me, and I will also be able to fulfill your wishes."
The weak "God" came to Herzog not long ago, when he was in despair about how he would realize his dream of becoming a god after the fall of the White King.
This being, who was more like a "god" than a dragon, shared his power with him, shared the alchemy and engineering of the dragon race, and demonstrated all kinds of forbidden but highly effective knowledge...
It even brought him a small number of gods who had not yet completely died out, giving him new hope.
Of course, Herzog was not stupid enough to think that these things were given away for free and did not require any price. He asked the God what the price was.
The God replied that once he ascended the throne and became the new God, he would use the power he gained to build a Nibelung and open the door for it to return to the "Supreme Heaven".
It sounds easy... and the promise can only be fulfilled after he ascends the throne to become a god. Herzog agreed to the deal with the God.
As for whether he will fulfill his promise...isn't it up to him, the new White King, to decide?
"Yes, that's true." The God's beak pursed, "Then start your performance, my smart champion warrior."
Herzog clapped his hands, and the two black-clad slaves behind him carried Uesugi Eri to the silver altar in the center and untied the straps on the stretcher. Herzog then pushed them away and personally and with great effort carried the girl's body onto the altar.
The beautiful girl rested her long hair on her head, staring blankly at the disguised illusion at the top of the red well. The white taffeta dress that Uesugi Yue had bought for her was already wet and stuck to her curvaceous young body, and the sheen of her fair skin could be vaguely seen.
The next step is to ask the God to bring out the part of the White King's remains and merge it with Uesugi Eri; then, to be on the safe side, it is better to use the blood exchange technology that he has researched rather than the God's spiritual power to "exchange" with Eri; finally, absorb the "nutrients" that he has prepared in advance, and thus embark on the greatest evolution in human history, the road from human to Dragon King.
……
But Herzog suddenly wanted to wait a few more minutes.
He is a greedy man, full of greed for this prosperous world, greed for power and beauty.
And now he no longer needs to pretend, the road to becoming a god is within reach, and he is about to ascend the throne... Since this beautiful girl created by his own hands is destined to be sacrificed to this great evolution, why not pick this forbidden fruit of youth and taste it carefully...
Isn't that such a waste of resources?
A greedy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his palm tore open the skirt on Eri's upper body.
But what he saw suddenly made him stunned, and the smile froze on his face.
With his wisdom, which was perhaps the pinnacle of human intelligence, he shouldn't have had a breakdown in his thinking... He tore open Eri's skirt, but what was revealed before him was not the beautiful white body of a young girl...
Instead, there were clearly defined abdominal muscles... eight of them in total.
Abdominal muscles? It is normal for girls who exercise to have their own abdominal muscles, but Uesugi Erie probably doesn't have the habit of exercising...
And no matter how much you exercise, it is impossible to have strong abdominal muscles all over your upper body! ?
Herzog came to his senses, and as if he had received a fake and was eager to verify the authenticity of the other goods, he eagerly tore a large piece of Eri's skirt down. What was revealed made his eyes widen, he inhaled in fear, leaned back, and opened his mouth wide, about to roar...
As for what he saw that shocked and frightened him - it was no longer important, because the "Uesugi Eri", who had been lying on the altar and letting him fiddle with her just a second ago, had suddenly sat up, and her lifeless eyes now burst into a dazzling golden light;
Herzog only saw her gnashing teeth and angry expression after she woke up, and then her slender hand reached out to grab his head - judging from the size of her hand, it should not be enough to grab him, but he felt as if his head was locked by an invisible hoop and he couldn't break free. The next second, a fist that looked equally slender, wrapped in a terrifying gust of wind, rapidly enlarged in his field of vision.
"boom!"
With the clearly audible sound of bones breaking, Herzog flew dozens of meters away. When he struggled to get up, his face was already a bloody mess.
But he still vaguely saw the fragments falling off the body of "Uesugi Eri", as if what he had just torn open was not Eri's skirt, but an illusory curtain, and the person hidden inside revealed his true identity.
Herzog saw a somewhat familiar face - someone who had worked for him in the past as "Dragon King".
"It's you! It's you! How could it be you!?" Herzog screamed hysterically, with mixed blood saliva and broken teeth spurting out of his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost with his own eyes.
The one who sat up from the altar was Yuan Zhinu - he should have been accompanying Lu Mingfei deep in the Japan Trench at this time, but now he appeared here naked.
What Herzog just saw was the muscles of the Source Girl that had been strengthened through genetic modification.
“Hahahahaha! We’ve been fooled! We’ve been fooled! General Wang, how do you feel? How do you feel?!”
A cry came from Genji's thigh. It was a small metal box fixed to his thigh. It looked like a communication device. The person speaking through it was laughing triumphantly behind the scenes, as if his evil plan had succeeded.
“Hahahahahahahaha——!!!”
Even sharper laughter came from the other side - Herzog turned his head in confusion, and saw the god with a bird's head and a human body sitting on his throne and laughing in a human-like manner, and his sharp claws were constantly tapping the armrests of the throne in excitement.
