Chapter 288 The Runaway King
After leaving the battle scene, Hino Eiji carried the weak Anku back to the multinational restaurant.

Looking at Anku's appearance, Hino Eiji speculated that Anku might have lost not just the cell coin, but something more important.

After he put Anku back on the bed, he quickly ran out of the multi-national restaurant.

After leaving the multi-national restaurant, he went to the headquarters of the Hongshang Foundation.

Through Eiji Hino's identity, they successfully obtained the qualification to go to the office, and also met Mitsuo Hongue who had been helping them.

"President Hongo, I want to know the reason and detailed process of Oz's rampage 800 years ago." Hino Eiji asked Hongo Mitsuo.

Seeing Eiji Hino's arrival, Mitsuo Hongo was not too surprised. Instead, he welcomed Eiji Hino's arrival very much. At the same time, he had no intention of hiding anything when asked by Eiji Hino.

"Under the alliance of Eagle, Tiger and Locust, the king wanted to absorb the power of all the core coins."

Mitsuo Hongo walked up to Eiji Hino with a serious expression and turned on the display screen on the table.

On the display screen, Oz was standing in the center of the church. In the dim light coming through the window, only a rough outline seemed to be visible. He walked forward, and the yellow tiger claws were the first to appear through the light.

The darkness did not last long. When the flames of the church were lit, Hino Eiji's pupils shrank slightly.

Because he saw that at the foot of the church steps, there were several very familiar monsters called Greed lying there.

But what surprised him was not this, but a figure wrapped in red flames falling from the sky, and it was him who illuminated the place.

Therefore, Hino Eiji saw him at first sight.

This person has a pair of bright red wings behind him, and his entire body is covered with colorful feathers.

"Anku." Hino Eiji murmured as he looked at the figure standing in front of Oz.

His body blocked half of Oz, but his face was completely exposed.

It was a face without any flaws, covered with golden feathers, standing proudly in front of Oz.

In sharp contrast to Anku were the Greeds who were now lying around with painful expressions on their faces, their mouths open, wailing.

"Eight hundred years ago, Greed was considered an enemy, just as he is now."

With a "bang", Hong Shang Guangsheng skillfully opened a bottle of red wine, and the blood-red wine rushed into the tall wine glass.

He raised his glass to toast the king who lived 800 years ago.

"But among the five Greeds that were born together, one of them chose to cooperate with the original king to fight against the other Greeds."

"That special being is called Anku."

"It's like fate. In modern times, Anku also chooses to cooperate with the current Oz, that is, you, Hino Eiji."

With Mitsuo Hongo's explanation, the battle became more intense.

Under the attacks of Anku and Oz, most of the core coins of different types were gathered in the hands of the king.

At this point, all the Greeds have been defeated and it is time to reap the rewards, and it is also time for the king to fulfill his promise to Anku.

When several Greeds completely lost their ability to resist, a golden claw pierced Anku's body from behind.

And on that golden claw, several bright red core coins are particularly eye-catching.

The cell coin fell from the gap in his body, and Anku, who was working with Wang, followed in Greed's footsteps.

Wang ignored Anku's complicated look. Perhaps Anku didn't expect that Wang would betray him at this time.

Standing in front of the window, Wang looked at the core coin in his hand and threw it upward. The scanner on his waist slid open in the air, and the power contained in the core coin was fully stimulated by Oz.

The scarlet eagle, the golden tiger, the blue whale, and the gray rhino are all animals carefully selected by the alchemist. They represent the most distinct characteristics of living things.

Then, the halos formed by those core coins all gathered on Oz's body at this moment.

Just as this power reached its peak, a grayish-white rock-like color spread from Oz's body.

The powerful force instantly enveloped the Greeds who had lost their ability to resist, and the bodies of the four Greeds were all broken apart under the dazzling light.

Anku, the only one who was not affected by this force, felt his missing core coin and stretched out his right hand towards the light.

At the last second when the runaway power disappeared, Anku grabbed his own core coin with his right hand.

boom!
Objects around us converge uncontrollably.

Finally, the runaway king sealed up all the core coins.

At this point, the core coin came to an end.

"Although the king at that time had a strong desire, when the container was almost full and the desire was injected again, he would go out of control due to the overflowing power." said Mitsuo Hongo.

"But! Hino Eiji, the huge desire in your heart has been cleared, so among the candidates who transform into Oz, there is almost no possibility of you going berserk."

Hong Shang Guangsheng responded honestly.

"Running wild?" Hino Eiji looked at the tall building reaching into the sky and took out a coin storage box from his arms.

When he opened it, inside were all the core coins that Anku had collected during this period, except for his own consciousness coin.

When carrying Anku back, he took Anku's coin storage box. It was not that he wanted to keep it all for himself, but it was necessary.

With the video just shown and his understanding of Oz, these core coins should come in handy.

Hino Eiji looked at the car that had stopped to locate, put away the coin storage box, got on the car, and rushed to the target location.

This should be the current nest of the bird-type Greed.

When Hino Eiji found the place, it was already late at night and the streets were quiet.

He pushed open the door and entered the building, but it was pitch black inside. Only the bright moon hanging high in the sky shone through the window, illuminating the interior slightly and preventing the view from being plunged into darkness.

Jiang Xia closed his notebook and observed the bird-like Greed that was sleeping inside the incubator.

The "self" who was fighting for his life outside and making Anku feel terrified was actually a clone he created through alchemy using human desires.

In fact, Jiang Xia has other ways to get Anku away from Izumi Shingo. With his current abilities, he can do many things, but this plan is the simplest and least worrying way.

In fact, it was the core coin made by Consortium X that he had seen before the time travel that gave him the inspiration. The technology of replicating the body was not difficult for him. The only thing that took a little effort was to create a defective product that would perfectly match Anku.

Fortunately, we have Anku as a living example.

Then, by absorbing Anku's cell coin, a bird-type core coin that completely matches the defect and is integrated with Anku is re-refined.

"come yet?"

Jiang Xia felt something, and then his figure gradually merged into the darkness.
