Chapter Fifty-Seven: Stage 1: Outer Dragon Scale Armor Shell
The hotel's Grand Deluxe double rooms are dimly lit with velvet curtains that obscure the bustling Chicago night view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The only light source was the mobile phone in Chu Zihang's hand, and he was lying on the sofa so as not to affect Su Xiaoyan, who was already asleep on the big bed.
Although her mother liked Xia Mi very much, Chu Zihang didn't relax enough to let her sleep in the same bed with Xia Mi.
Including Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang entrusted Eva to transfer the information of his mother's travel, such as surveillance footage near her home, taxi information to the airport, and air ticket itinerary...... and so on, and went through them one by one, trying to unearth some anomalies from them.
He was still suspicious of his mother's sudden arrival in Chicago alone, and could not rule out a possible demonic plot - although Lu Mingfei was sure that the crow demon had been completely burned by the Emperor's Light...... It's a bit of a nervousness, but it's always right to keep an eye on everything.
After spending about ten minutes reading all the information and finding no abnormalities, Chu Zihang briefly put his mind at ease, and was about to turn off the screen of his mobile phone to fall asleep, when the half-breed superhuman hearing made him hear someone outside the door shouting "brother" inarticulately.
Xia Wang? He heard who the voice was and frowned slightly. Is there something wrong with running here late at night?
Glancing at his mother, who was not woken up, he stepped off the couch without making a sound, quickly opened the door and walked out, and then quickly closed it.
The thin boy was wearing pajamas, and when he saw Chu Zihang come out, tears suddenly burst out of his dark blue eyes, and slid down the girl-like pretty and quiet face:
"Sister...... Gone......"
"Gone?" Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and walked quickly to the double room more than 20 meters apart for Xia Mi and Xia Wang's two siblings, and sure enough, Xia Mi was not seen inside.
There were two cups next to the bedside table, which were filled with milk, because my mother had the habit of drinking warm milk before going to bed, so he also arranged two cups for the two siblings by the way, and he sniffed the inside of the cups, but nothing unusual happened.
Xia Mi's Soai mobile phone was also placed next to it, and the wallpaper was a selfie of her wearing a school uniform, Chu Zihang didn't know the password and couldn't click on it to see if she had left any information.
"Eva, excuse me." Chu Zihang thinks that instead of being a famous detective Conan in this brain to solve the case, it is more efficient to find Eva.
"The Peninsula is being connected to the internal monitoring system."
As Fingal said, "You can always trust my girlfriend," Eva's ability to execute is anything but human, and she replied in less than thirty seconds:
"Twelfth floor, suite 026 in the VIP area, suspected of illegality, with an 88% chance of a fight. The best routes have been marked and the roads have been opened. Do I need to initiate an evacuation plan? ”
"Roger. I'll see for sure if I'm evacuating or not. Notify the Executive Department first. ”
Chu Zihang turned around and saw Xia Wang, who was looking at him pitifully, and he comforted him coldly:
"I'm going to find your sister now, hide in my room, and don't open the door until I bring your sister back, no matter who comes, you know?"
The boy nodded obediently, and entered the room with his hands restlessly rubbing the corners of his pajamas. After the door closed, Chu Zihang informed Eva while leaving quickly:
"Keep an eye on these two rooms, and if there is any abnormality on the way, you will directly call the fire alarm."
"Roger."
Chu Zihang walked briskly on the hotel corridor, and although Eva opened the VIP elevator to him that required a VIP card or a hotel staff card to use, he still chose to run the stairs from the tenth floor to the VIP area on the twelfth floor.
Compared with the normal area, the decoration of the VIP area is more luxurious, the wool carpet laid in the corridor is as red as blood under the light of the warm yellow light, Chu Zihang passed by one after another with ancient Roman numerals and delicate patterns marked with house numbers, and the ears continued to hear the low and rough roar of men and the screams of women with pleasure, debauchery, as if they had been rushed to the top.
After all, not everyone opens a room and stays in a hotel in order to simply sleep until the next day, Chu Zihang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as those voices became clearer and clearer, as if it happened beside him, he took out the silver-white metal sword emblem ring worn by his index finger, and the complicated alchemy matrix light lit up, and the metal of the ring rapidly expanded and formed in a form that did not conform to the laws of physics-
Formerly known as the coccyx of the White King's remains "Tiancong Yun", it is now forged by the chief (self-styled) alchemy sergeant of the legion again, and is now named a new alchemy weapon of "tenacity" by Chu Zihang.
It is in the form of a silver-white metallic broad-bladed greatsword, delicate and dense, and the alchemy matrix pattern that looks like a painting is engraved in every part of the sword, making this giant blade look more like a work of art in a museum than a murder weapon.
The corridor in front of me seemed to be spliced together and repeated, with no end in sight, the infinite repetition of patterns on the red wool carpet and the orderly and infinitely extended warm yellow lamps on the ceiling, a soft and pleasant smell of cloves seemed to seep out of the cracks in the door.
The further you go, the stronger the fragrance becomes, and the screams of pleasure from the sensual stimulation of men and women become louder, like a symphony of sin and blasphemy...... Chu Zihang's senses ached faintly, and he was trying to resist the spiritual pollution here.
If it were an ordinary person here, his spirit would have been deranged and sunk, and his heart longed to open one of the doors and join in the cheerful act of making those sounds.
“Eva。” Chu Zihang took a deep breath.
"Collect ...... Letter...... Number...... Almost ......" Eva's voice was choppy, with an annoying electrical noise.
"Sound the alarm, evacuate and lock off the hotel, notify the Executive, S-Class Incident."
It has become a Nibelungen full of dangers and unknowns.
"Blessed by the Emperor's light, I will be fearless."
Chu Zihang muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes dyed with a bright golden light.
Compared to the power of faith that could gather into sacred and gorgeous wings behind him, the power of faith can now be called dim, with only a little starlight outside the body;
But Chu Zihang is also not a sustenor who cannot fight without the power of faith, he holds "tenacity" to strengthen himself, and finds the right way in this Nibelungen space full of desecration pollution.
……
"Thank you for giving me this pretty good skin~ You really don't plan to join me? I can give you everything you want~"
Its tone is pleasant but full of sarcasm, its tone warm but hidden curse, and what seems like a gentle invitation is actually a pass to the abyss.
Natsumi knows this very well, especially her current state.
She made her own response, scolding her youth and quiet beautiful girl, the pillars of the motherland and good flowers, or the image of the golden crown emperor in the world that does not meet the standards at all:
"Fuck off, silly X."
She was panting with a huge scythe that didn't fit her body at all, and the Peninsula Chicago pajamas on her body had shredded to pieces, revealing the white and smooth silk underwear inside, which wrapped the beautiful body of the girl.
The other party deliberately attacked her as if he was playing with her.
"Grass...... The old lady's reputation is now going to fall from the 'strongest subgeneration' to the 'strongest hybrid'! ”
Natsumi scolded in a low voice.
And Yuri. Hani ...... The bald old white man with a big belly was gone, and his flesh was taken over by something else unknown and completely changed.
His body has mutated to be more than two meters tall, and his muscular body exudes both wild heroism and disgusting ugliness; His upper body gave birth to two pairs of arms, a pair of muscular fists as large as a casserole, a pair of slender and deadly sharp knives with bones, and a pair of abnormal hooves and feet as thick as pillars on his lower body.
But his every move revealed the enchantment of women, which could be said to be beautiful and elegant, and a strange fragrance like violets erupted from his breath.
He also retains dragon traits on his body, such as the almost invisible pink-purple scale armor outside his body, and the dragon's horns born in an unknown skull......
"Look at you, you abandoned that powerful and perfect posture just to refuse the great gift ~ what a stupid act this is, little Gad~"
He tilted his head, his eyes flooded with gold and pink; He strode forward, stout and graceful as a singer.
"If the professionals don't come again, then I'm really going to be finished......" Natsumi gritted her teeth and grabbed the sickle to regain her strength, "This is all the trouble you guys have caused!" ”
"Boom!"
The door of the room was brutally blasted open, and Chu Zihang walked in indifferently with a "tenacious" look, and everything in the room was reflected in his golden eyes.
He first glanced at Natsumi, who breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little surprised by the scythe in her hand, but the rest of his mind was immediately attracted to the species in front of him.
"Ah~ Isn't this one of the mortals favored by the 'Damned'?"
He-she narrowed her jewel-like eyes and looked at Chu Zihang, grinning.
"Demons!"
As soon as the blasphemous salutation came out, Chu Zihang immediately determined the identity of the other party and made the only countermeasure - Lu Mingfei once said what to do when encountering a demonic creature:
"Don't pay attention to any words from the other party, just rush up and hack to death! In the name of the emperor, completely purify and destroy the filthy existence of the other party! ”
And the other party seems to belong to a completely different dark realm from the bird-headed demon, which is more dangerous and deadly.
Chu Zihang didn't dare to be careless, and tore the hotel pajamas he was wearing on his upper body with one hand, the well-proportioned and three-dimensional and aesthetic muscles of the body were not exposed for too long, and the countless fine fluff hairs on the surface of the body quickly thickened and blackened under the stimulation of the dragon bloodline, evolving into pieces of blue-black scales in the shape of perfect swords and shields;
At the same time, his body is also undergoing a second level of evolution, the most obvious is naturally the developed back muscles of the upper body that are congested and expanded, and the leg muscle chains of the lower body that have burst the pants.
When Chu Zihang dragged "Tenacity" to make a fighting posture, the blue-black scales had covered his whole body, like an indestructible piece of metal armor, which seemed to be lined up on the surface, but actually had perfectly streamlined and aerodynamic indentations;
The twisted horn-like horns protrude slightly from the thick shoulder armor; New bone tissue poked out of the skin of the face and proliferated into a pair of black, cold bone armor that covered the face, leaving only the golden glow of the two eye sockets as dazzling as a gas lamp.
"Dragon-like bloodline erosion deep extreme in vitro alienation", this is the academic name for this phenomenon by the secret hybrids, which only exists in SSS-class classified files, and the Deadpool instances that have undergone this change have long been completely wiped out by heavy firepower, and there is no possibility of living research;
"The beginning of the evolution of the bloodline refining and transformation of the gods", this is the biological alchemy changes that His Highness Norton, the king of bronze and fire and the supreme alchemy attainment of dragons, has nothing to do, and is used to observe its changes on the half-blood humans who were still slaves at the time;
"Sword of Apocalypse, New Astarte Genetic Engineering Phase 1 Modification Surgery (Tentative Template): Extracorporeal Dragon Scale Armor Shell" - This is the first step in the transformation of a hybrid human into a new type of Imperial Warrior by His Majesty the Emperor who fused his own wisdom and new alchemy technology and used it for the first time.
Chu Zihang had heard Lu Mingfei talk about the nineteen transformational surgeries that crossed the boundaries of mortals to become an angel of death countless times - this sounded more like the last surgical process "black carapace", as for why it became the first stage of surgery...... Then I'm afraid I'll have to ask His Majesty the Emperor for his own will, right?
In short, Chu Zihang and Fingal were "lucky" to become the "pioneers" (experimenters) of the first stage of the transformational operation, while Lu Mingfei could only watch with envy and anticipation as his brother accepted the glorious transformation of the emperor first......
The main reason is that the bloodline and spirit of the two of them are clearly from the King of Bronze and Fire, and now the Dragon King is safe, docile and reliable, and only needs to have a full canteen to provide the pure serum needed for the transformation operation indefinitely......
In other words, Old Tang is their "father" in a sense - and Fingal listened, "Okay, Daddy Donal, please prepare more good serum for me next time", Old Tang "Okay, no problem, good son", and then hooked his shoulders and back, and laughed hee-hee-hee-ha, Chu Zihang was not very willing to accept this title.
Regardless, this first-stage modification operation is clearly capable of bringing significant combat power to hybrids, as the scale structure of the dragon's refined bloodline is fused with the liquid proliferating skeletal material of the hybrids, which was originally intended for the bones that evolved into the dragon form (the Emperor's will requires that his new warriors are also human and not other species);
At the same time, the genetic structure of the flesh and the outer carapace has also been optimized to connect the outer carapace with a helical structure with considerable stiffness and strength, which also makes the hardness and toughness of even the weakest dragon scale armor shell far exceed that of the body surface dragon scales of the next generation of dragon species.
And the carapace in vitro seems to change due to the mixed race individuals with different words and spirits, for example, there is a hole in the center of Chu Zihang's chest that seems to have been penetrated by some kind of high-heat substance and the edge has not yet been cooled down, and it is like a state of "eclipse" in a solar eclipse, and the fine and complex alchemy array forms a ring of subtle flames on the edge.
"This ...... What is it? Xia Mi witnessed the changes that had occurred in Chu Zihang's body with a look of "shocking my mother", "Kamen Rider has changed?" ”
