Cast your spell upon those ancient beings, hidden beneath the dust of history, who also covet the Dragon King's power!
Throw your hopes towards those powerful forces, whether they participated or not, that harbor greed for the Supreme Being!
After doing all this, the middle-aged man felt as if all his bones had been drained, and he slumped backward, sinking heavily into the wide back of the chair.
The satellite phone slipped from his limp hand and fell with a thud onto the thick carpet, extinguishing the signal light completely.
He tilted his head back, his empty gaze peering through the gaps in the heavy curtains, as if gazing at the place outside, dyed red by the setting sun, the burial ground that would soon belong to him.
The only sounds in the study were the occasional faint crackling of the embers in the fireplace and his own heavy, slow breathing, like that of a broken bellows.
wait.
Calmly await death.
He knew that the supreme being who walked among mortals never broke his promise.
The cold silence lasted for about five minutes.
five minutes later.
Without a sound, a terrifying pressure originating from the depths of one's soul suddenly descended!
The air in the study froze instantly, and the last spark in the fireplace went out completely!
The molten gold twilight outside the window was instantly swallowed up by a pure, destructive light!
The middle-aged man didn't even have time to react.
He subconsciously and slightly closed his eyelids the instant that the unparalleled bright light shone through the window.
boom! ! !
An indescribable roar erupted simultaneously from all directions, from the depths of the earth, and from the sky!
In that instant, the entire study and the entire manor seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand and then crushed violently and completely!
A blindingly bright, destructive incandescent light, capable of annihilating all matter, crashed down from the heavens like a giant fist of divine punishment!
My vision was completely filled with endless white light!
The senses were completely stripped away by the deafening roar!
Body, consciousness, soul... before this absolute power, they are like the first snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly melting, disintegrating, and turning into nothingness!
There is no pain, no fear, only eternal silence and ultimate annihilation!
……
The light faded, and the roar receded into the distance.
The cold winds of late winter swept back into the area, howling like wailing.
Lu Mingfei hovered hundreds of meters in the air, his body radiating a silvery-white glow in the twilight, like the cold gaze of a god descending to earth.
He looked down.
That enormous manor, which bore the last ambitions and madness of the Chen family, along with its meticulously constructed high walls, luxurious buildings, hidden laboratories, last-ditch guards, and the middle-aged man who spread the ultimate secret in the study... has completely vanished.
Instead, there was a huge, bottomless pit.
The pit walls were as smooth as a mirror, and deep inside were vitrified rocks, reflecting the last rays of the setting sun, cold and cruel.
The hard permafrost and remaining snow trails abruptly end at the edge of the pit.
Everything was completely, cleanly, and physically erased.
Lu Mingfei's gaze fell upon the system map unfolding before him.
The scarlet lights, like extinguished candle flames, had become so sparse as to be almost extinct.
Apart from Erii and Chen Motong in Japan, and Caesar Gattuso outside Rome, Italy, there are no other red markers representing the Chen and Gattuso clans.
Six hours.
The bloody purge that spanned the globe has come to an end.
However, in this brief moment of tranquility...
A cold notification sound, like the sharpest ice pick, suddenly pierced the depths of Lu Mingfei's mind!
Its abruptness and sharpness were even more chilling than the world-destroying sword aura from before!
Side Quest: Elope with Erii and defy the world!
Side Quest: Elope with Xia Mi and defy the world!
Side Quest: Please lead the way to Zero's elopement, making enemies of the world!
[Side Quest: Elope with Su Xiaoqiang and defy the world!]
[Side Quest: Elope with Liu Miaomiao and defy the world!]
[Mission Objective: Do everything in your power to protect their safety and slaughter all invading enemies.]
……
[Mission Successful: Detailed coordinates and identity information of all Dragon Kings, and methods for breaking through to the sixth rank.]
[Mission Failed: The Master has arrived and will destroy this universe.]
Without a second thought, Lu Mingfei immediately took action.
As soon as the system task notification sound finished, he unleashed his maximum speed, rushing straight towards Japan like a silver lightning bolt!
A mission is coming, and trouble is sure to follow!
Something big must have happened around the world that he doesn't know about.
And this matter is most likely caused by his recent global purge!
……
Tokyo, Japan, Genji Heavy Industries, at dusk.
Winter dusk comes early; the sky is overcast, the last rays of sunlight quickly disappear, and night falls.
The massive silhouette of the Genji Heavy Industries building resembled a crouching steel behemoth in the increasingly dark sky, its cold glass reflecting the city lights that had been turned on early in the morning.
The air was damp and chilly from the melting snow.
The atmosphere inside the building was even more tense than outside.
Previously, Lu Mingfei had given the order that almost all the capable fighters of the Snake Clan were concentrated near the Genji Heavy Industries, guarding it in layers, with the level of vigilance raised to the highest.
The area around the building was eerily quiet, filled with a sense of impending doom.
On the top floor of the building, in Erii's warm room, the atmosphere was different from the tension outside, but it was still filled with unease.
Erii sat quietly by the window, looking outside.
Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao were talking in hushed tones, trying to appear relaxed, but the worry on their faces was impossible to hide.
Zero leaned against the wall, as quiet as an ice sculpture, while Mai Shude crossed her arms, her eyes warily fixed on the door and the communicator.
Only Su Enxi sat at the workbench in the corner.
On several screens, code and data that ordinary people cannot understand scrolled rapidly.
Her usual lazy and casual demeanor was completely gone, replaced by an unusually serious and solemn expression.
Suddenly, her fingers stopped typing abruptly!
On the screen, a message, like the most terrible plague, swept through every place with internet access at explosive speed!
It flooded the headlines of major websites, filled social media platforms, and even caused some news websites to crash!
The content consists of only one sentence, yet it's as terrifying as a bomb:
"The celestial immortal Lu Mingfei is the reincarnation of the Black King!"
This news isn't just circulating within the small circle of mixed-race people...
Like a virus that went berserk, it spread across the entire world's public networks that ordinary people could access in just a few minutes!
This sentence has been all over the internet!
"Damn it!" Su Enxi cursed through gritted teeth, her fingers flying across the keyboard so fast they seemed to be sparking.
She mobilized all means to delete, block, and clean up.
Top hackers' interception programs are like large nets cast out.
However, this news is like an unkillable cockroach!
As soon as one account is deleted, another pops up; as soon as one account is banned, a new anonymous account appears.
After being driven out of major websites, it infiltrated encrypted chat groups, private forums, and even spread wildly through emails and text messages!
It's like a virus stuck to the internet, popping up endlessly, and you can't get rid of it no matter how hard you try!
Su Enxi's face grew increasingly pale, and beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead.
This is definitely not the work of an ordinary hacker. The person behind it has terrifying power and doesn't care about being exposed at all; they just want to spread the news as fast as they can.
She suddenly raised her head, her gaze passing over the screen and directly landing on the girls in the room.
Zero was talking to Erii, Su Xiaoqiang, and Liu Miaomiao, while Mai Shude stood with her arms crossed and sharp eyes.
Her voice, dry with nervousness and unusually heavy, broke the fragile peace in the room.
"Everyone listen to me."
"Boss... we're in really big trouble this time!"
Chapter 171 Conspiracy
Ordinary people have deep doubts about this statement.
They didn't understand who the "Black King" really was.
Is he the leader of some mysterious cult?
Is it the codename of some notorious hacker?
Or perhaps a villain in an upcoming superhero movie?
