47: Chapter 50 The Association? The Association! OA-5 Supreme Conference!

"..."

Pulled away almost aggressively by Zheng Fei.

Zhao Jinlong wasn't angry either; he just foolishly scratched his head.

"Is there danger?"

Even if this doctor, who looked very ethical, couldn't be relied upon...

then they could only pin their hopes on...

after he finished digesting the power within his bloodline.

The ensuing life leap might be able to resolve these issues.

He pursed his lips; the crisis had not yet dissipated.

The roaring of Nightmare Entity resounded from afar.

After his vital energy slightly calmed down and he could control the insect-like alienation phenomena, Zhao Jinlong struck out once again.

Clang—

The long sword was unsheathed.

Li Li rushed forward equally refusing to show weakness.

Unlike Zhao Jinlong's open-and-close, rugged yet wild combat style,

his attacks leaned more towards simplicity and efficiency.

The sword moved with agility, aiming straight for the vital points.

After hitting the target, flames soared into the air, burning the monsters to ashes.

The two of them vaguely had a sense of competing with each other.

Power collided head-on, and they struck out one after another.

The hearty and invigorating physical and martial strikes,

and the Fire Dragon Swordsmanship with blazing flames soaring to the skies,

all made the Netizens in the live broadcast room cry out in satisfaction.

——

"Holy cow, one punch per aberration, is this the true gold content of transcendence?"

"Coach, I want to learn this!!"

"Learn, learn, learn, all you know is learning, learn my ass, I the coach want to learn too! Furious jpg."

"Don't get excited, this thing can actually be learned. My cousin's uncle's neighbor is a Nine-Tailed Fox member. He hadn't even been in the army for a year when he ran into the military region selecting transcendent seeds. Anyone with a bit of potential could be selected. All members can obtain the seed of transcendent power from their captain, and as long as they slowly temper it, they will grow stronger and stronger..."

"Hey hey hey, since the poster above knows so much, could this be an army recruitment advertisement?"

"Advertisement or not, I don't care. I only care about the crisis. With the two big shots joining forces and unleashing their might, the Demon Dragon Disaster should be over, right? Forcing myself to stay awake for two days without sleep, I'm about to collapse!"

"..."

The live broadcast room's bullet comments surged.

Aside from certain suspicious content,

all of it was yearning towards Li Li and Zhao Jinlong's power.

Worshiping the strong!

Yearning for power.

is an instinct deeply rooted in the soul of humanity.

Especially now, amidst crisis on all sides.

Yearning, envy, reverence...

Various complex feelings brewed within them, transforming into miscellaneous emotions that radiated outward.

Su Xiu, eager to make a move, also waved his scythe.

[ancient sword covenant triggered massive emotional fluctuations, Emotion Points +12421]

[Emotion Points +22312]

[Emotion Points +17439]

[Seed of Taotie triggered massive emotional fluctuations, Emotion Points +23132]

[Emotion Points +34261]

[Emotion Points +23333]

[...]

Point fluctuations flashed before his eyes.

The feeling of making money while lying down felt quite good to him.

His gaze landed on Zhao Jinlong.

Su Xiu nodded slightly. What satisfied him was not just the emotion points.

It was even more because of Zhao Jinlong's development of 003.

Being able to think of extending the power of the Seed of Taotie,

infecting his subordinate members, making them dependents of 003, and possessing weakened anomalous powers.

If Zhao Jinlong was the jinchuriki parasitized by 003, then the other members of the Nine-Tailed Fox were infected bodies of 003, able to enjoy the enhancement of Zhao Jinlong's vital energy to a certain extent.

The general difference was similar to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the infinitely weakened Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

Perhaps it was research backed by the entire nation's effort from The Authorities,

or perhaps it was Zhao Jinlong's flash of insight in application.

In any case!

Continuing to develop like this,

a perfect symbiosis with 003 would soon be achieved.

In other words!

He could reap abilities once more.

The ability extracted from the Seed of Taotie was very likely related to devouring, which made one look forward to it just by thinking about it.

But compared to this, there was still an imminent matter waiting for them to resolve.

"Over?"

"Solely relying on their power cannot affect the demon dragon on the moon."

Su Xiu's gaze fell on the live broadcast bullet comments.

He muttered softly.

——

"Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough!"

Li Li pursed his lips,

forcibly activating the power within the ancient sword,

attempting to awaken the ancient sword's psychic energy to seal the demon dragon entrenched on the moon, just like dealing with the Spacetime Worm.

The demon dragon was the root cause; if the demon dragon wasn't resolved, the Nightmare Entity would only be endless.

However, the power of the covenant he controlled was not enough to support this.

Being able to make flames soar into the sky and sweep across a hundred zhang was already his limit. Wanting to rush into the clouds, reach beyond space, and seal the demon dragon on the moon was clearly a delusion.

Pursing his lips, his expression was as solemn as a mountain.

Li Li couldn't help turning sideways to look at Zhao Jinlong beside him.

Don't get me wrong.

He didn't think Zhao Jinlong had this kind of strength.

In fact, their current levels were about six of one and half a dozen of the other.

What Li Li had his eyes on was simply the identity.

Association!

Peripheral member!

"The demon dragon's power leans towards concepts and cannot be resolved by physical impact. It is also difficult for our two powers to reach above the moon. If we try a temporary moon landing, it's already too late..."

"Captain Zhao, can you try to contact the interior of the Association?"

Li Li spoke out his thoughts.

That's right, he had placed his hopes on the Association.

Gear!

Chaos Girl!

Each and every one of them was proving the Association's power.

If they could obtain the Association's help,

not to mention completely shattering the demon dragon directly, even if they could control the spread of demonic nature, block the diffusion of the Nightmare Entity, and buy themselves reaction time, that would still be wonderful!

"Contact the Association?"

Zhao Jinlong's expression shifted slightly, obviously thinking of the same thing as Li Li.

Right!

From the standpoint of the Association guarding humanity,

it was entirely possible for them to make a move!

He took a blood-colored stone egg from his body, and faintly heard the sound of life throbbing.

He injected power into it.

Crack—

The sound of the eggshell breaking resounded.

A Jackdaw flew out from the blood-colored stone egg.

"Hmm?"

A cold voice rang out from inside, identical to Chaos Girl's.

It was like an extension of her power.

Being stared at by the Jackdaw, Zhao Jinlong felt his entire body was seen through.

"Save people?"

"You specifically contacted me just to deal with this reptile?"

The Jackdaw spoke.

Zhao Jinlong hurriedly nodded in response.

However, the voice that sounded next made his smile stiffen.

"I refuse!"

"Wh-What? Refuse? Why?"

Zhao Jinlong's pupils constricted, unable to react for a moment. His foolish face was filled with disbelief.

"I am a Valkyrie!"

"Responsible only for guarding the safety of the OA-5 Supreme Council!"

"Directly taking orders from OA-5 members; other matters are not within my scope of responsibility! Dealing with anomalous phenomena falls under the jurisdiction of the Scientific Special Task Force and Investigators. Researching anomalous phenomena falls under the jurisdiction of Doctors and Researchers..."

"It has nothing to do with me!"

The cold voice sounded, but its content was deafening.

OA-5?!

He only knew that the periphery he was in belonged to the Association's D-class ranks, possessing only the lowest level 1 authority.

Could OA-5 refer to level 5 authority?!

Also, the Supreme Council?

Did a decision-making class exist within the Association as well?

Chaos Girl was merely a Valkyrie guarding the council, so what about the Observer represented by Gear?

Were they an OA-5 member of the Association, or did they belong to another authority?

All sorts of miscellaneous thoughts sprouted in his mind.

But they were quickly suppressed by Zhao Jinlong.

The organizational structure of the Association could be discussed later.

The urgent priority!

Was the moon in the sky entrenched by the demon dragon!

The demonic moon was corrupting downward, and the infection trend of the Nightmare Entity was getting faster and faster.

"Chaos!"

An anxious Zhao Jinlong even called her directly by name.

"Don't forget our organization, the Pan-Humanity Protection Association! With a name like that, shouldn't we protect humanity as much as possible? The crisis is right in front of us, how can you stand by and watch as a member of the Association!"

Having exhausted all options,

he could only bite the bullet and resort to moral kidnapping.

However, the Jackdaw's cold voice

made his heart plunge straight into the abyss,

"Guard humanity?"

"What do you think the Association is? Humanity's babysitter? Civilization's guarantee? The savior of difficulties?"

"No!"

"What we guard is the survival or extinction of humanity, nothing more and nothing less!"

Under Su Xiu's instillation of will,

what 002 adhered to was merely the norm!

Maintaining the orderly norm of Blue Star and creating a largely stable rear garden was enough!

Snap—

The Jackdaw shattered.

As their hopes fell through, 002's split body also disappeared from sight.

Just as everyone fell into despair,

"Jingle~"

a wind chime-like sound rang out in the live broadcast.

A dreamlike and illusory light and shadow flashed through the starship that had burned into wreckage.

Strikingly, it was the fluorescent Paper Kite.
