Chapter 115 Transformation into a Dragon
Herzog died in the end. Uesugi Yue's slap was full of anger. Even though he didn't use his full strength, it still broke Herzog's cervical vertebrae.
Uesugi Yue was filled with regret. Why couldn't he control his strength?
"The girl is still in a coma. Her physical condition is normal, but she may become a vegetable."
Yuan Zhisheng is most concerned about his brother's condition, but even the best doctors among the eight Sheqi families cannot guarantee Yuan Zhinu's condition. Based on Zhang Baiqing's description, it is speculated that there is a probability that she will become a vegetable, but the probability should be extremely small.
The greater probability is that a little dragon man will wake up, because the body of the Source Girl is still in a dragon state, and the dragon blood in the body is incredibly active.
However, the doctor speculated that this situation would not last too long. Only Genjitsu's dragon blood had been changed, but the depth had not yet reached the point where even the hematopoietic stem cells had been changed. As the body metabolizes, the dragon blood directly derived from the White King's gene would gradually be lost.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for this. On behalf of the Eight Snake Qi Families, I am willing to repay Mr. Zhang with eternal friendship. From now on, Mr. Zhang's affairs will be the affairs of the Eight Snake Qi Families. If you need me, I will never refuse!"
Yuan Zhisheng bowed solemnly to Zhang Baiqing.
He already had a general understanding of the situation in Hongjing. If Zhang Baiqing was strong enough to turn the tide, perhaps the outcome would be different.
"No problem." Zhang Baiqing patted his shoulder. "I don't have any needs right now. On the contrary, the people of your Sheqi Eight Clan have been seriously injured after this incident. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
Yuan Zhisheng smiled bitterly when he heard this. The extent of the disaster suffered by the Eight Clans of Sheqi this time was one of the few in history.
Most of the official family members were dead, and the retention rate of combatants was less than 10%. The combat team of several hundred people shrank to dozens of people in an instant, which was even less than the number of people in his executive department half a year ago.
In the next period of time, I am afraid that the eight Sheqi families will encounter countless troubles.
Whether domestic or foreign.
"Is this God?"
Angers arrived about ten minutes later than Yuan Zhisheng. Finkel and Chu Zihang were shaking the people who were unconscious on the ground one by one but had not died in the battle.
In response to the principal's question, Finkel glanced at Chu Zihang and said nothing.
“This is not a god.” Chu Zihang shook his head and said, “This is just the body conceived by a god. The real god is the holy remains, which have been crushed by Zhang Baiqing.”
"Well, it would be better if I died."
Ange did not bother to verify the remains of the holy relics, but walked to the head of the Yamata no Orochi, stroked it gently, and felt the already cold dragon scales.
Then he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Is this a dragon?"
Caesar carefully observed the body of the Yamata no Orochi. Even though it was dead, its corpse still exuded a domineering aura.
"Yes, it is a rare dragon from the White King family." Angers turned to ask Chu Zihang: "Where is Herzog? Didn't he show up?"
Among the Japanese hybrids, the biggest villain is naturally Herzog. This mysterious doctor from Nazi Germany controls a large amount of information and technology. It seems that the appearance of God has always been in an orderly manner according to the other party's ideas.
Chu Zihang said concisely: "Herzog also showed up. He has two identities, the King General and Tachibana Masamune. He thought he could defeat us with the Holy Remains, but he underestimated us. He was knocked unconscious by Uesugi Yue and was sent to emergency treatment."
"Is it so complicated?" Angers was a little surprised. He didn't know that Herzog's Stairway to the King was left by the real Bondarev.
He and Uesugi Yue had considered that Tachibana Masamune was still coveting the throne. They had also considered the possibility that Tachibana Masamune and the king would be played by the same person, but they felt that the possibility was not high. After all, theoretically speaking, it would be enough for him to control the eight families of Snake to find the god.
"Write a report and come up later."
Chu Zihang nodded.
The eruption of Mount Fuji subsided, the earthquake ended, the sea tide receded, and the sky cleared after the rain, leaving the Tokyo Bay area in a devastated state.
Senior officials and politicians who had fled Japan have returned one after another to take charge of the situation.
The equipment department that was fleeing the island country in the sky, upon hearing that the god had been killed and the body of the Yamata no Orochi was still there, immediately ordered the pilot to turn around and fly back.
There is still a lot to discuss between Kassel Academy and the Japanese branch, whether it is the body of the Yamata no Orochi or their autonomy.
However, the Sheqi Eight Clans are not completely powerless to fight back. Excluding Sugikoshi, the combat effectiveness of the Minamoto Chisei royal blood still ranks in the first echelon of mixed-bloods.
The Eight Clans of Sheqi only suffered a great loss of strength, not being completely annihilated.
However, these had nothing to do with Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang. When the Equipment Department and Ganliu Research Institute fought over the ownership of the body of Yamata no Orochi and a full-scale fight broke out, they determined that their mission was completed, submitted their report, and then returned home.
"Where are the holy remains?"
On the plane, Chu Zihang couldn't wait to ask Zhang Baiqing in a low voice.
"I have asked someone to send it to Xia Mina."
"There won't be any accidents, right?"
Chu Zihang was a little worried that something unexpected might happen during transportation. After all, this thing was really dangerous.
"They are a very professional team, not an ordinary logistics team."
Zhang Baiqing put the holy remains into a liquid nitrogen freezer and entrusted Su Enxi's team to transport it back to China.
It is true that the holy remains were exploded, but this thing has a terrifyingly strong vitality. It has become a piece of dry bones but is still alive.
The plane landed in the capital, and Xia Mi and Eri came to pick up the car.
Eri stood obediently beside Xia Mi, but she looked left and right, afraid that she would lose sight of them in the crowd.
In fact, both parties are easy to recognize. The two girls are very beautiful, and the two boys are very handsome. They are almost shining pearls in the crowd.
Seeing Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang coming out, Hui Liyi waved happily.
"Are you all right? I saw on the news that the situation in Japan seems to be very bad."
Eiry spoke softly in somewhat strange Chinese, causing Zhang Baiqing to look at her in surprise.
"Are you cured? Can you speak normally?"
"Uh-huh!"
Eri nodded happily.
Xia Mi stood aside modestly without saying a word, as if it was no big deal. Then Zhang Baiqing decisively ignored him and said to Eri, "It's good to be able to talk normally. It makes communication much easier."
Seeing that he was not going to brag about himself, Xia Mi rolled her eyes and asked Chu Zihang: "I saw the news and thought that the four islands of Japan were going to sink. There were volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. You guys are not having an easy time, are you?"
"Not bad." Chu Zihang blurted out these two words with a cold face, which made Xia Mi roll her eyes again.
After the four of them got in the car, Eri asked about the situation in Japan again, and asked about the situation of Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto Chisei with some concern. Eri had already called them, but was afraid that they would only report good news and not bad news, and were unwilling to tell her what had happened.
"They are fine, but the commotion was quite loud, and the Eight Snake Clan suffered heavy losses. But your brother Yuan Zhinu may have a minor problem, as he was knocked unconscious by Master Yue."
"Oh, I'm glad they're okay."
After getting Zhang Baiqing's confirmation, Eri breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter with Herzog?" Xia Mi asked them.
"The King's Staircase was planned by Colonel Bondarev of the KGB. Herzog was just following Bondarev's plan."
Zhang Baiqing briefly talked about Herzog's situation.
After listening to this, Xia Mi said, "It seems that Herzog is just their test subject. The port where Herzog went to the Arctic Circle was sent by the mixed-blood forces of the former Soviet Union, and there is a living Dragon King under the port. There is also the Sword of Damocles. The Gattuso family is likely one of the instigators behind the scenes."
"But if I sacrifice the next dragon king, it will be hard to make a profit."
Zhang Baiqing felt that the people behind the scenes were somehow at a disadvantage. Wasn't the Dragon King's embryo more valuable than this god?
And can't the dragon kings devour each other to complete themselves? What Herzog knew, the people behind the scenes must also know. Could it be that there are no dragons or dragon kings behind this plan?
"The situation here is very complicated." Xia Mi said, "Excluding the possibility of a dragon king suppressing a dragon king, it's not that human hybrids don't have the strength to suppress one. Not to mention a peak dragon king, but a dragon king can also become weak. According to the stories of the Chinese realist school, aren't there families that keep dragons at the bottom of wells and raise them?"
Zhang Baiqing thought about it and it seemed that such a story really existed.
Legend has it that during Shun's time, there was a man named Dongfu who was good at raising dragons. Shun gave him the name "Huanlongshi". He raised dragons in Weicheng, Hua State, which had 81 wells. But the book does not say why he raised dragons. Perhaps he was interested in the deliciousness of dragon liver and phoenix gall, or perhaps he coveted the dragon's powerful strength?
"Want to play games together? Games are fun."
After returning home, Eri wanted to play games with Zhang Baiqing. She thought the game was fun and wanted to share her happiness.
"Play, but wait a moment, your sister Xia Mi and I have something to do."
Zhang Baiqing refused first and went to the basement with Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.
After walking down the stairs to the basement and turning on the lights, Chu Zihang felt very strange when he saw the basement, because the basement was too big and too high!
It is the size of a football field and more than ten meters high. The dim lights illuminate the entire space. There are no supporting pillars in the middle of the space, so it is extremely open.
"Aren't you afraid that the house above will collapse?"
Chu Zihang couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be afraid, I have my own ways." Xia Mi waved her hand and led them down to the ground and came to a box.
When the box was opened, liquid nitrogen leaked out. Inside the box was a shriveled facehugger, also known as the Holy Relic. It looked ugly, but contained the White King gene that was enough to drive the hybrids crazy.
These White King genes can transform the body genes of hybrids, allowing them to transform from humans into dragons!
Xia Mi said slowly: "I can't find any problems at the moment. You can think of the Holy Remains as a section of bone marrow with hematopoietic stem cells. It can release genes from the White King, but the genes it can release are very limited."
"So it's impossible to create a complete dragon?" Zhang Baiqing asked her.
"It's basically impossible. Its upper limit is fixed. Even though the White King gene is very powerful, it is limited by its size and is only at the level of a first-generation species. Of course, it will be stronger than a normal first-generation species, but it cannot catch up with the Dragon King level."
Xia Mi looked at Chu Zihang: "Do you still need to try? I can use alchemy to extract its White King gene and transplant it into your body, so that you will not be controlled by the Holy Relics. But you will become a dragon, a dragon with the White King bloodline gene."
"Turn into a dragon..." Chu Zihang was silent for a moment. As long as he nodded, he could evolve into the dragon that countless hybrids had been pursuing.
Possessing powerful strength and a long lifespan, it stands at the top of the food chain.
"Will I still be myself then?" he asked Xia Mi.
"That should be it, right?"
"Can I still turn back into a human by then?"
"It should be possible. The White King's bloodline is strong enough that he can transform back into a human form even if his body is smaller."
"Well, I want to try it then."
Chu Zihang nodded, his eyes calm.
After careful consideration, he still felt that the human body was too weak. After Uesugi Yue took the dragon's blood, he had reached the limit of human beings, but it was still not enough.
His weak human body could not support him to gain the strength to take revenge on Odin. If he wanted revenge, he had to stop being a human.
"But what if Kassel College conducts a test? If Zihang evolves into a dragon, there really won't be a drop of human blood in his body." Zhang Baiqing asked.
"Blood camouflage is easy. Zihang will naturally learn it after he transforms into a dragon."
"That's good."
"Then I'll go and get ready. Transforming into a dragon is quite troublesome."
Xia Mi closed the box and the three of them walked out of the basement.
Zhang Baiqing went to play games with Eri, while Chu Zihang and Xia Mi took a walk in the bamboo garden.
"Xia Mi, are you a dragon?"
After a long silence, Chu Zihang couldn't help but ask her.
"Did your brother tell you?" Xia Mi brushed her hair.
Chu Zihang said: "He didn't say it, Herzog did. But I wasn't sure before, until the basement just now, I was sure of my idea. That basement is a Nibelung, right?"
"How did you come up with that?"
"The space is wrong. Forty meters to the left of the basement is below the road outside. I calculated the distance. Your basement is only half a meter thick from the ground. However, when cars pass by on the road, no sound is transmitted to the basement. The sound and vibration transmitted by the ground are still very strong, but your basement completely blocks this influence."
Xia Mi nodded: "Very attentive. In fact, if I hadn't opened the Nibelungen, the basement you went down to would be a normal basement, not that big, not that wide."
The two fell into silence again.
"Did you remember something?" Xia Mi asked him in a low voice.
Chu Zihang was silent for a while, then said, "Well, I remember a little bit, but it's still too vague. If you weren't in front of me, I would just think it was a dream."
Xia Mi said nonchalantly: "After you awaken, the influence of provoking the fate line will be small for you. As time goes by, you will be able to remember something. Don't worry, after you replace the White King's genes in your body and transform into a dragon, your strength will be able to ignore this influence."
"What kind of world is the dragon world?" Chu Zihang asked her.
"It's full of violence, conspiracy, betrayal, and loneliness." Xia Mi said without hesitation: "It's far more complicated and bloody than your human society. In addition, dragons have a long lifespan. If they live too long, they will be poisoned by immortality."
