After Gen Zhisheng left with his subordinates, the room suddenly fell silent.

After waiting for a long time, Tachibana Masamune picked up a monitor, unlocked his fingerprint and flipped through some of the information inside. There are all kinds of records and satellite aerial images, including a forest bombarded by missiles, a giant snake leaping through the river and sea, and a four-armed dragon man with many enemies in the city......

And in the corners of these photos, there is Zheng Shu's figure.

Looking at these materials, Tachibana Masamune's eyes had a deep fiery fire.

……

……

Zheng Shu sat at the head of the hotel bed, seemingly kneeling and meditating, but in fact, he was looking at the blue panel in the depths of his consciousness and thinking about the problem.

Mia and Eri were sent out of the hotel by him after mastering the Storm Blood technique, and now the two of them should be playing on the Tokyo Sky Tower.

[Enhancement Template: White King (Holy Relic)]

[Enhancement Template: White King (Spirit)]

This is the White King Enhancement Template that he obtained after coming to Japan, which was obtained from the Holy Remains and the White Behemoth in the Spirit World, respectively.

The Enhancement Template for the Holy Relic had been obtained through his careful planning, but it was an accident to obtain the Enhancement Template for the Spirit White King. After obtaining the enhanced template of the Spirit White King from the spirit world, Zheng Shu was ostracized by the spirit world before he could study it.

However, when he had time, his first reaction was naturally to hope to fuse the two templates, just like the templates of the twin dragon kings were fused with each other to obtain a "complete" white king.

But...... The result was a bit unexpected for Zheng Shu:

【Attention!! Enhancement Template: White King (Holy Relic) and Enhancement Template: White King (Spirit) are both complete enhancement templates, and are not broken in themselves. 】

【Inspecting the phase ...... of the strengthened template】

[Convergence risk ...... is being estimated]

【Warning!! The phase difference between the reinforcement templates is too large, and the risk of fusion exceeds the warning line, and it cannot be forcibly fused. 】

[Tip: If you want to use all the abilities of the two enhancement templates, you can select the side-by-side enhancement mode to enhance the two enhancement templates.] 】

The information on the panel is short, but the information that reveals is a lot.

From the information on the panel, it can be seen that whether it is the White King in the form of a holy relic or the White King in the form of a spirit body, neither is essentially the "mutilated" state of the White King. To be precise, both of these are the "evolutionary" states of the White King.

Zheng Shu speculated that the Black King's attack was likely to have some causal damage, so the White King had to completely divide his existence in order to save his life.

When dividing, each part of the "White King" should have the same proportion, so each part should be a complete White King after making up for its own volume. It's just that in order to escape the Black King's ruling, they chose different evolutionary paths and derived different forms.

As for the explanation, they are all strengthened templates for the same white king, but the phases are so different that they can't be fused. After seeing the white giant beast in the spirit world, Zheng Shu felt that he could also understand that compared to other creatures in the material world, that white giant beast did not look like a species that could appear in the same world at all.

Or the difference between the white giant beast in the spirit world and the creatures in this world has even been affirmed by the panel:

【Attention!! The characteristics of the reinforcement template law are too different from the current environment to be strengthened. 】

That's right, the difference is so huge that Zheng Shu can't even use this reinforcement template in the real world of the dragon world to strengthen it.

Of course, Zheng Shu speculated that if he returned to that spiritual world again, he should be able to use this enhancement template. But...... That doesn't make much sense either.

Zheng Shu estimated that after the enhancement was completed, there was a high probability that he would become a spiritual creature like the pale giant beast, and he could only wander in the spiritual world of the dragon world at that time, and could not have any impact on the real material world.

Therefore, this reinforcement template was given up by Zheng Shu at the first time, and if he traveled to a world where dreams could affect the rules of reality in the future, he might consider using this reinforcement template.

And in addition to the fact that this Spirit White King's enhancement template is very troublesome, the enhancement template of the other Holy Relic Hundred Kings is also very unsatisfactory.

"Panel, on the premise of not affecting my physical appearance and spiritual will, how much can the Holy Relic White King's enhancement template be strengthened?"

【Calculating ......】

[On the premise of not affecting the user's physical appearance and mental will, the enhancement template: White King (Holy Relic) is recommended to use the compatibility mode for strengthening, and the maximum enhancement ratio is 5%. 】

"Huh?"

Seeing this result, Zheng Shu almost didn't hold back. Although he expected that the permanent change in the form of the White King would have a great impact on him, he didn't expect the impact to be so great, and he worked hard all night, and in the end he could only get half of the White King's strength.

"Outrageous...... Panel, I want to get as much power as possible for the White King, is there any good way? After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Shu decided to put his hope on his golden finger.

Since it's all a problem with the internal functions of Goldfinger, instead of complaining here, it's better to see what good ways Goldfinger has to do.

【Solution Simulation......

【……】

Living up to Zheng Shu's expectations, this message soon appeared on the panel. However, what is a little unexpected is that the waiting time this time is quite long, and Zheng Shu even thought that his golden finger was stuck there for a while.

Finally, after a long few minutes of waiting, a new message reappeared on the panel:

[Simulation completed]

[The user strengthens the enhancement template: White King (Holy Relic) in compatibility mode, and after an additional permanent consumption (cannot be returned) a certain amount of influence factor, there is a chance to obtain 30~50% of the power of the White King without changing the physical state.] 】

【Warning!! The specific increase cannot be confirmed, and there is a risk that the solution will fail, but after the solution fails, only 5% of the power of the enhancement template will be strengthened for the user, and the additional impact factor consumed will be returned. 】

[Estimated consumption of impact factor: 30%]

Zheng Shu looked at the information on the panel and fell into contemplation again, thinking about whether it was cost-effective to consume these influencing factors to obtain the power of the White King.

So he glanced at his current impact factor count.

Progress: 279.37%

Since the enhancement template of the King of Bronze and Fire has been strengthened again, the growth rate of Zheng Shu's impact factor has returned to the state of rapid growth at the beginning, coupled with these influences since coming to Japan.

Although there are many things that have not yet fully felt, Zheng Shu has already gained more than 80% of the progress.

Since that's the case, then naturally don't think about it.

"Panel, how long will it take to strengthen with this solution?" That's right, Zheng Shu finally reacted.

In the past, he was terrified of the time he needed to consume when he strengthened himself, for fear that he would miss some plots because of the long time of strengthening.

But one day he suddenly woke up to the fact that he could actually ask his gold finger about things like this. This can be regarded as the shortcoming of Zheng Shu's golden finger, he doesn't have too strong intelligence, and he doesn't have any instructions for use, so he can only rely on himself to explore a little bit.

【Calculating ......】

[It is estimated that it will take a minimum of 35 minutes and 26 seconds, and a maximum of 41 minutes and 12 seconds.] 】

Zheng Shu was a little surprised to see this time, it was actually shorter than he expected.

Without further ado, while you have free time now, simply use this time to strengthen.

Zheng Shu turned on his mobile phone and contacted Mia, and after confirming that she and Eri Yi were eating in the restaurant and couldn't come back for a while, he asked Mia to help him pack a special dish of the restaurant before leaving, delaying their return as much as possible.

After the spiritual power radiated to confirm that there was no monitoring around, a golden portal opened behind Zheng Shu's back, and an alchemical body that looked like him walked out of the Nibelungen.

Adjusting the alchemy body to automatic camouflage mode, Zheng Shu turned around and entered the golden portal. After he left, the alchemy body observed the surroundings and immediately lay down on the bed and covered it with a quilt, pretending to fall asleep.

Sitting cross-legged on the empty ground of the Nibelungen, Zheng Shu looked at the information on the panel and no longer hesitated.

"Panel, give me as much strength as possible!"

[Instruction Received]

[Consume the progress of the Impact Factor Collection to strengthen the body]

【Calculating ......】

[The calculation is complete, and the total amount of Impact Factor required to be consumed in the compatibility mode is 30.68% of the collection progress]

[An additional 30% of the Impact Factor progress has been extracted]

[The impact factor has been consumed, and the body has been strengthened]

So Zheng Shu was wrapped in green light again, and as his consciousness began to disappear, the strengthening officially began.

However, unlike in the past, this time the green light did not immediately begin to transform Zheng Shu's body, but extracted a slightly tiny green light cluster from the green light cocoon that surrounded Zheng Shu.

The tiny light cluster and the light cocoon are connected by a faint green thread, and after the light cluster is separated from the green light cocoon, it is constantly swaying up and down under the control of the thin wire, as if it is being dragged and shaken by a weak hand.

The entire Nibelungen suddenly began to fluctuate, and then that magnificent consciousness descended again on this world made up of dead elements, looking at the green light that was lifted, revealing a strong "longing".

The green thin line controlled the light cluster to sway up and down, and the grand consciousness of seduction produced a fluctuation for a while, seeing that the other party's fluctuations had even begun to affect the Nibelungen, the green thin line disconnected the light cluster, allowing the green light cluster to gently "float" up.

After reaching a certain height, the green light disappeared, and a wave of satisfaction came from the magnificent consciousness.

After receiving the information contained in the green light cluster, the magnificent consciousness also reached out its "tentacles" to go deep into the green light cocoon, and "touched" Zheng Shu, who fell into a deep sleep inside.

As the information of the representatives on the "tentacles" kept changing, the green light cocoon also began to transform Zheng Shu at the same time. Although the physical appearance has not changed in any way, Zheng Shu's spirit and soul have changed dramatically.

As the strengthening progressed, surging spiritual power poured out of Zheng Shu's mind, and the spiritual power that should not have any physical entity now became able to affect the real world, and cracks appeared on the ground of the Nibelungen with Zheng Shu as the center.

Finally, the spiritual power that lingered around Zheng Shu reached a certain strength and no longer continued to expand, but quickly returned to Zheng Shu's mind.

At this point, the information carried on the "tentacles" of the grand consciousness no longer changed, and the transformation of Zheng Shu's soul by the green light gradually stopped.

Confirming that Zheng Shu's state had stabilized, Hongwei's consciousness withdrew its "tentacles", but in the process of recovery, it was intentionally or unintentionally stained with a few points of green light.

Seeing that the green light was still busy with the final transformation of Zheng Shu's soul, the grand consciousness quickly "escaped" from here like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

Discovering what the grand consciousness had done, the green light cocoon fluctuated a few times without any emotion and then retracted into Zheng Shu's chest.

At the moment when the transformation was completed, Zheng Shu also woke up immediately, without any sense of confusion after the completion of the previous transformation, he was in a very good state now, just like the feeling of being energetic after getting enough good sleep.

Zheng Shu's first feeling is that what he can see has become much clearer, and this clarity is not an enhancement of vision or other perceptions, but a feeling of being able to see the essence of things.

In addition, Zheng Shu didn't feel any enhancement in his physical fitness, but if he thought about it carefully, with the physical strength of the Holy Relic White King, it was estimated that even if it was fully strengthened to his body, there would be no obvious changes.

After recalling some preset psychology questions in his mind, and comparing his current answer with his previous answer without any change, Zheng Shu finally confirmed that his spirit had not been affected in any way for the time being.

Through the connection of the alchemy puppet, Zheng Shu observed and confirmed that after confirming that Mia and Eri had not returned, he exchanged places with the alchemy puppet through the golden portal, and opened the light blue panel in the depths of his consciousness while lying down.

Progress: 279.37%→192.15%

[Enhancement Template: The White King (Holy Relic) enhancement is completed, and all physical strength increases are discarded due to the special enhancement mode, and 50% of the spiritual power enhancement of the heyday of the enhancement template is obtained. 】

[Impact Factor Cost: 25% (Basic Enhancement Cost, Returnable) + 30.68% (Compatible Mode Cost, Permanent Cost, Non-Returnable) +31.54% (Special Enhancement Mode Cost, Permanent Cost, Non-Returnable) = 87.22%]

Zheng Shu looked at the information on the panel and fell silent, the impact factor of this enhancement consumption is not small, and more than 60% of the impact factor of the progress has been permanently consumed.

However, Zheng Shu was not very distressed, because during the period of time he was thinking, the decimal point on the column that affected the progress of the factor jumped up several times. At this rate of natural growth, even if he didn't do anything, it would take less than a year to make up for all the impact factors consumed.

And in addition, although there was only 50% of the White King's spiritual power, the increase in spiritual power far exceeded Zheng Shu's expectations.

With the activity of his mind, a steady stream of spiritual power began to spread outward, and Zheng Shu's spiritual power easily crossed all kinds of material obstacles, enveloping the entire city of Tokyo under his control.

A large number of mental fluctuations came into Zheng Shu's mind, but his brain could easily process this information in an instant, and experiencing the feeling of the entire city being held in his "hand", Zheng Shu was fascinated in an instant.

But soon, the tingling sensation in his brain pulled his thinking back to reality, and he quickly recovered the unspread spiritual power, and Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose.

Although it was really strong just now, the consumption was a bit too much, and it could only be used at the most critical moment.

While thinking so, Zheng Shu walked towards the door, and when he opened the door, Mia outside the door had just taken out the door card and was about to open the door - just now, he had accurately captured the mental fluctuations of Mia and Eri among the hundreds of millions of people in Tokyo.

……

……

A few days later.

In a large Japanese-style room, a man with a slightly feminine face kneels on a tatami mat in a straight position, a long knife with a cherry blossom scabbard in front of his knees, looking up at the man in the shadows.

Wang Jiang, who was wearing a Noh mask, was arranging flowers at this time, and there were a few winter plums in a white porcelain vase, but these plants were all bare branches in the current season, but looking at Wang Jiang's cautious movements, it was like seeing this vase of flowers in full bloom.

"You're very interested in the commissioner from the Kassel Academy." Ruri Kazama opened her mouth to break the silence.

"Your brother seems to be interested in him too." Wang Jiang planted another branch, "After all, as the 'emperor', he should be the strongest half-breed in the world, but now he has met a person who is similar to his age but stronger than himself. Neither the pride of the emperor nor the momentum of the young man will allow him to admit defeat. ”

"I warned you, don't mention him in front of me!"

Ruri Kazama's eyes burst with murderous intent, if it wasn't for the fact that he had tried several times without success, then the long knife on his knee must have been unsheathed and cut off the opponent's head at this time.

"Don't be so excited, I'm really interested in that boy, after all, it's a hybrid who can fight against three generations, who in this world wouldn't be interested?" The king general stopped and looked at the young man in front of him, ignoring the terrifying sand intent emanating from him.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, he can't compete with a masterpiece of a god like you." He spoke in a tone that seemed to be soothing a jealous child.

But Ruri Kazama didn't want to accept his kindness at all, on the contrary, the tone of the other party made him feel sick, and he just wanted to cut off the head of this ghoul now, so that the mouth that smelled corpse oil could no longer be opened.

"Then I hope you have arranged it, the Eight Families of Snake Qi and the secret party in Europe are not stupid, if I remember correctly, the new commissioner sent by the secret party will arrive today." Ruri Kazama didn't want this chat to continue, and staying in the same room with the ghoul would only make him feel more disgusted.

Besides, Wang Jiang's plan this time was too risky, even if the fierce ghosts have always been rampant, but they have never had such an outrageous action, not to mention that the fierce ghosts have just suffered such serious losses, and even lost one of the three high-level "Ryoma", and now the implementation of such a plan at this point in time is simply a signal for an all-out war.

Although the half-breeds of the fierce ghosts are called "ghosts" by the Snake Qi Eight Family, they still have the right to live in the eyes of the Dragon King, but the ghoul in front of them just wants to eat up their value and throw it away like a rag.

"A momentary loss isn't something to be concerned about, I just want some of his blood, and it shouldn't be hard for you."

Listening to the words of the king, Ruri Kazama just sneered and got up and left the room. He knew that although the ghoul in front of him seemed very gentle, he did not have any right to object to all the decisions he made.

……

……

South of Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, on the outskirts of Yokohama City.

It is a deserted coastline that was a continuous fishing village before World War II, but now fishermen have moved to Yokohama to become citizens, leaving only the pier where their fishing boats were moored and the sea beating day after day.

However, on this deserted salt flat, a runway appeared unusually abruptly, or half of it, and the other half of the runway had been flooded by the sea.

It is an airport runway built in 1941, when the sea level was not so high, and it has been abandoned for many years.

A black Hummer is parked at the end of the runway, with its headlights shining on the runway, and in this kind of airstrip with no lights at all, the pilot can only rely on the headlights to guide the way.

Sakura spread a snow-white napkin on the engine compartment cover, placed three tulip glasses, opened the champagne and filled the glasses one by one, and placed a bouquet of bright yellow tulips next to the glass. Each glass has a slice of lime on the rim and a small Japanese flag on it.

Compared with the welcome ceremony to welcome Zheng Shu, this welcome ceremony can be regarded as extremely simple. However, Principal Ange deliberately emphasized the need to keep this operation as secret as possible when he announced it, so Tachibana Masamune only asked Gen Zhisheng to bring someone to pick him up.

In addition to these two people, the only pick-up personnel next to the runway were Zheng Shu and Mia.

In the past few days, Eri Yi has mastered the method of opening the violent blood, plus she has been out for many days, according to the routine, she should need to inject serum medicine, so Zheng Shu simply took the opportunity of this pick-up to let Eri return to the Eight Snake Families.

Gen Zhisheng's disgust for Eri immediately decreased a lot when he saw Zheng Shu take the initiative to bring Eri over, and then arranged for Raven and Yaksha to escort Eri back to Genji Heavy Industries.

So there were only these four people left to pick up the airport this time.

In fact, if it weren't for Tachibana Masamune's request, Gen Zhisheng wouldn't want to come here to hold this pick-up ceremony at all, after all, he hates physical contact with people, and judging from his resume, the team of the headquarters that came to Japan this time is composed of gentlemen, violent maniacs and incompetent wastewood, and he doesn't have any good feelings for these three kinds of people.

But fortunately, Zheng Shu proofed them in advance, so that the Japanese branch understood that the so-called aces of the headquarters were not a good thing, so Yuan Zhisheng wanted to show his respect for the ace combination of the headquarters...... Even if it was a superficial respect, in the end I decided to pick up the plane in person.

There was a roaring sound from the direction of the sea, and there were no fingers in the cloudy sky, but it seemed that some flying beast was approaching with wind and thunder.

"It's pretty punctual." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at his watch.
