"Wang Yuan!" Fang Ze loudly shouted, the ceiling of Negary's lab caved in as he dropped in with He Qiao in his embrace.
"Heal her, or we're going to war until one of us dies" Fang Ze's tone was indifferent, and extremely definitive. Unlike the anger he displayed the last time he confronted Negary, he had full clarity of his actions.
〖 Of course, I'd be more than glad to. But there is one issue that will require your help 〗Negary suddenly felt like he was a quest NPC in an RPG. As the protagonist arrived, he gave them a mission to complete, then later on turned into a BOSS.
〖 First of all, you have to understand why He Qiao is showing these symptoms 〗Negary smiled: 〖 The serum she was injected with was an experimental product whose ultimate goal is to allow normal people to awaken supernatural powers 〗
〖 For this to happen, it was necessary to come into contact with her soul. However, He Qiao's soul wasn't able to accommodate being altered by Disasforce, thus leading to her falling unconscious. If she doesn't receive proper treatment within three days, her only possible outcome would be the destruction of her soul 〗
〖 This issue occurred due to the serum being incomplete. However, that person called Ye Kong had just displayed a supernatural ability that came from an awakened soul. This means that he had somehow been able to resolve the issue of the soul being unable to accommodate Disasforce 〗
〖 Capture him and force the method out of him. That way I would be able to make up for the serum's shortcomings, resolve He Qiao's issue, and even allow her to truly awaken her own soul ability 〗Negary explained.
"Then wait here" Fang Ze stared at Negary. He then left He Qiao in the care of the D.E.R division personnel who came running and ran towards the venue of the ongoing battle.
Looking at Fang Ze's back as he left, Negary felt a bit emotional, if Wang Yuan hadn't gone to another world, he might have become a person like Fang Ze.
However, this bit of emotion was swiftly identified and eradicated.
〖 The [Protagonist Aura] truly doesn't spare any chances, if I didn't have the Dragon of Eternal Sin's error characteristic to interfere with the power of 'luck', I might actually have felt something akin to 'interest' or unwillingness to kill towards Fang Ze〗
〖 In the end, this would've caused me to lose myself, either being killed by Fang Ze or become whitewashed and turned into some a sort of reluctant ally character〗
〖 Seems like it has become urgent for me to upgrade the Dragon of Eternal Sin form 〗
Negary squinted his eyes. Following Fang Ze's growth, his [Protagonist Aura] seemed to have also grown stronger, just now, it was able to forcefully create emotions that he had long discarded in his mind.
Until finally, his [Protagonist Aura] might be able to break through the Dragon of Eternal Sin's error to forcefully interfere with Negary's perception and judgement.
〖 That definitely cannot be allowed to happen 〗Negary quickly ran the simulations in his mind, but he wasn't sure about how to upgrade the Dragon of Eternal Sin form. After all, now that he had left the Flame world, he didn't have any more materials regarding 'Dragons' to work with. He didn't know if Dragons had any higher forms, thus unable to use that as a basis to simulate the wrong form of the Dragon of Eternal Sin. His only choice was to rely on his own subjective views to try and deduce it.
…
On the other side, Fang Ze was constantly using his Disasforce to strike the ground and make his way towards the battle zone like a human-shaped flea. The other party's constant radiating Disasforce was similar to a lighthouse in the middle of the dark ocean.
As Fang Ze landed, he found that many bystanders around him had begun to lose their rationality and mindlessly caused destruction. Even as they saw the devastation of Fang Ze's landing, they still rushed to attack him with broken expressions on their faces.
He had already received reports regarding Ye Kong's newest information through his earpiece, the other party's Authority was currently in a pseudo-promotion state. These people were previously protestors affected by a hidden Authority Holder with a supposed [Rebellion] Authority, but now they had gone completely insane and were currently unleashing their inner beasts through acts of stealing, destruction, and general violence.
Under Ye Kong's forceful coercion, they found joy from these acts of destruction that ignored social order, the pleasure of which had thoroughly caused their rationality to collapse.
Fang Ze's Disasforce surged forward and shattered those who charged at him to pieces, he then leapt forward again and landed in the middle of the battle zone, where two metal pipes immediately struck down on him.
As their Disasforce clashed, Fang Ze calmly raised his hand to stop the metal pipes, his right hand was currently wearing a single steel glove that reached all the way to his elbow.
The steel glove was forged completely from Disasforce material, while blocking Ye Kong's metal pipes with one hand, his other hand drew a dagger and thrust it towards Ye Kong's body.
"Bahahaha, a Disaster King sure receives different treatment, clothes, gloves, and even a dagger" Ye Kong's body leapt backwards slightly to dodge Fang Ze's attack and chuckled bizarrely: "Unlike us who risked our lives for the D.E.R division, all I got for my troubles was a single Disasforce material knuckle"
Fang Ze didn't answer Ye Kong, all he wanted to do right now was to beat him down, then find out how to awaken the soul ability from him.
"Investigate, where is Ye Kong's Disasforce material knuckle?" pressing his advantage of having better equipment, Fang Ze continued to attack Ye Kong, but he didn't truly push Ye Kong into a corner, after all, the so-called soul ability that the other party awoke could even destroy things made of Disasforce material.
However, from his limited usage of it, it could be seen that the ability wasn't quite as strong as they had thought, or it had some sort of limitation. Aside from the single time that Liu Shi's arrow forced him to use it earlier, he had been fighting with only his Disasforce.
Fang Ze was clearly gaining the upper hand, especially since he had the support of others, Liu Shi would occasionally unleash arrows to interfere with Ye Kong's movements, while Xiao Ba Fu constantly looked for opportunities to exercise his Authority. Because of this, Ye Kong had to be careful while fighting to not allow any sudden bone fractures to occur, he couldn't even exert his strength too much when clashing against Fang Ze, afraid that he might break his arm or leg bones from it.
And yet, Ye Kong still kept up his morbid smirk, seemingly unfazed by his predicament, especially when he was truly strong enough to not be defeated by a Disaster King and his team for a short while.
[We've found it. His knuckle weapon vanished during the mission where his fiancée lost her life] the intelligence personnel reported to Fang Ze through his earpiece: [He reported that it was broken due to extensive use and became lost]
There's definitely something up with this, perhaps the awakening of the soul is related to Disasforce material?
Fang Ze squinted his eyes and thought, when the other party mentioned Disasforce material weapons, although he tried to hide it, Fang Ze still managed to notice something off: "Report this matter to Wang Yuan"
As the battle continued, Ye Kong's two metal pipes had already shattered to pieces, while he also became short of breath from the extended battle. Releasing his [Origin] did give him an improved constitution, but this improvement wasn't that excessive.
"I can feel it, my Authority is about to become fully promoted" Ye Kong excitedly boasted to Fang Ze: "When I fully unleash my Authority and cause the order of this entire world to collapse, that will be quite a sight to behold!"
"You won't get that chance!"
Fang Ze's Disasforce surged forward and split the air in front of him apart. His body shot forward at extreme speed and plunged his right hand that wore the Disasforce material glove straight through Ye Kong's body.
