Chapter 357
— Chapter 354 —
The meeting started after Bibi Dong sat on her throne.
Yunlong smiled wryly on the side and leaned on the emperor’s throne prepared beforehand for him. It’s roughly the same size as Bibi Dong’s throne but slightly grander and has dragon-like carving around it.
He checked the material used to create the throne and was speechless because they used 80.000 years old Platinum Meteorite, a metal known for its sturdiness and perfect synthesizer for many things. One of the main components to creating God-Killing Ammunition.
‘I only read the data briefly, but this throne cost up to a whole Heaven Dou Empire before they surrendered to us.’ He thought with an overwhelmed sensation. Even though rare, Platinum Meteorites could be artificially-made with Momo’s Martial Soul. Obviously, at a slower pace because her Alchemy needed a lot of spirit energy.
“Momo.. The cost needed, what if we added Divine Energy or Curse into the ammunition? Even though theoretically God-Killing Ammunition could injure a god, it’s far from killing them instantly.” He muttered mindlessly for several minutes.
“Yunlong?”
“Yunlong??”
Bibi Dong shook Yunlong’s shoulders and awakened him from the deep thought about the limit of Momo’s martial soul. It’s not really a problem for them, but then he started to mutter a few things about improving God-Killing Ammunition.
“Are you okay?” She asked worriedly.
Yunlong scratched his neck awkwardly and replied, “I was absorbed in something else, my bad. Where are we again?”
David tapped his finger on the table rather eagerly, and that’s because he wanted to hear more of Yunlong’s thoughts on improving the God-Killing Ammunition. From the mutterings, they needed Momo and attributes such as Divine Energy or Curses to kill a god quickly.
He shook his head and thought, ‘Nevermind, I’ll ask him later. We have a few days before attacking the Sun and Moon Empire’s 1st base. It’s not like they could retaliate at this stage because we have several god-level individuals on our sides.’
Then David realized he was becoming too overconfident. Even though the Sun and Moon Empire got cornered into a tight situation, a beast is still a beast. They could still bite him in the tail, turning everything into a mess.
“Haa.. I almost blind myself.” David commented in realization while looking at Yunlong.
“Well, let’s recap what we have been talking about in the past 30 minutes.”
Momo suddenly placed thin-framed glasses and acted like a professional secretary. “I’ll recap it for Yunlong.” She said, which left everyone in awe with her enthusiasm.
The women in the meeting room could see Momo’s intention as clearly as see-through paper. This young woman wants to give a better impression of her to Yunlong.
Bibi Dong could only giggle on the side because this was amusing. She doesn’t have reason to prevent the Alchemy Saintess’s advance to her beloved son because everything is fair competition as long as Yunlong likes her.
Not to mention Momo is quite a lady for Yunlong. After all, the Alchemy Saintess is strong and wise enough to be on par with people like Hu Liena and Saiko Inteli despite not having a better starting line than them.
“Go on, Momo.” Bibi Dong said while smiling at the young woman.
Momo nodded and explained, “We are discussing the next step of defeating the Sun and Moon Empire. Even though we have destroyed the third base (Thanks to Yunlong), and the second base with God-Killing Ammunition, the opposite side immediately sent an attempt of retaliation.”
“Luckily, we sabotaged the retaliation before it became more problematic and threatened our empire. Well, some of us believed that the Abyssal Ants wouldn’t be able to pass our barrier.”
“That’s why we came up with the following plan. Destruction of the Sun and Moon Empire, or spare some people while devouring them into our faction.”
“Half of the council decided to destroy everything to the ground.”
“While the other half wants to spare the enemy.”
“Of course, the Empress and Emperor haven’t made their votes yet. Even though we separated into two factions, the rulers still hold a majority of the decision in the meeting.”
“Empress, Bibi Dong.”
“Emperor, Yunlong.”
“Please give us your opinion about this.”
In the past, Momo wouldn’t imagine saying something about destroying the whole empire with people living inside it, but seeing the Sun and Moon Empire’s atrocity over the past three years makes her realize there is always a “Bad.” side to the coin.
She was a former hero candidate of UA Academy who only saw the world from the righteous side because of All Might’s existence. It’s not hard for her to realize that once the beacon of hope got destroyed, the peace will become nothing but an illusion.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being kind to others. Momo still believed kind people lived in the Sun and Moon Empire, but there were much more rotten than good.
‘You have to cut roots.’ She thought while waiting for the answer.
Bibi Dong ultimately wanted to destroy the Sun and Moon Empire because they dared to attack the Bright Spirit Empire she had tirelessly developed for her beloved son. Still, the decision is in Yunlong’s hands.
She closed her eyes and said, “I’ll leave the decision to Yunlong. Even though I’m the Empress of the Bright Spirit Empire, he’s still the true ruler of this place.”
“I firmly believed he was wise enough to know what’s good for the empire, right? Yunlong.”
Yunlong felt the people’s gazes and sighed because he wasn’t a ruler-type of a person. ‘Since mom throws me under the bus with a heavy responsibility, I’ll try my best to fulfill her curiosity.’ He gently placed his hand on the table.
Everyone looked at him, watching the black-haired man’s eyes glowing with a deep crimson hue. Unlike Bibi Dong’s pinkish eyes that glow menacingly with purple light, this pair of eyes seemed to stare at their souls and shake everything from the inside.
Even Madara and Liu Erlong, who had sharpened their senses for three years of intense training, couldn’t help but shudder in dread. Their fighting spirit or battle lust “literally.” was triggered upon sensing this god-like presence.
“Before I talk about the matter of destroying or sparing our enemies. Let me clarify something first.” Yunlong’s calm voice echoed in the room.
“My name is Yunlong. I disappeared three years ago from this world and was trapped in an unknown place for nine years, which should explain my current appearance.”
“I fought some dangerous beings and ended up reaching A God King Realm not tied by a norm.”
Yunlong summoned the Thousand World Handkerchief, and everyone recognized this martial soul immediately. A martial soul that would get deemed trash in the past, but Yunlong makes it powerful enough through unorthodox creativity and limit-breaking the common sense of this world.
“Huh??”
Zetsu was too stunned to speak and watched nine spirit rings float behind Yunlong. These aren’t your ordinary spirit rings because he could feel a higher plane of energy, something divine and miraculous.
“Divine Ring..” Bibi Dong commented while covering her mouth.
“There are nine of them.”
“Yunlong, you’re A God King?”
“God-King..” They couldn’t believe their ears for a moment.
What’s God? historical
God is people who ascend to a higher dimensional realm, with god officer to 1st class god being 4th-dimensional beings. And they couldn’t stay in the lower realm because their existence would cause imbalance and harm everything around them.
The example of Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, and Qian Renxue is because they couldn’t stay on the Douluo Planet without limiting their strength and realm to level 99.
Yet, Yunlong released his strength just fine.
“I’m not your typical Godking, but yeah.. I am one.” Yunlong answered casually.
“Okay, don’t look at me like that.”
“I’ll explain the reason why. My martial soul is quite special, and that’s because the Thousand Worlds Handkerchief possessed sub-dimensions that hold the living universe inside it.”
“My Divinity(Miracle) tied to them automatically, making me an irregular to the rule of Douluo Dalu’s Universe.”
“I’m a Godking that sustain my own existence freely.” He finished the explanation, which made Bibi Dong’s mouth part in surprise.
Even though Bibi Dong knows her son is ridiculous sometimes, this is beyond her expectation. A god needed a Divine Realm to support the higher dimensional’s needs. And this black-haired man, who’s barely 24 years, made a new Divine Realm to hold his divinity.
“What a miracle..”
Yunlong shook his head and said, “Despite being a Godking, I’m still on the weaker side in divinity because not many people have faith in me.”
“Which is why.. I decided to spare the Sun and Moon Empire.”
“Once we defeat and absorb the Sun and Moon Empire into our factions, I’ll upgrade Douluo Planet’s planar law, and we can have more god-level powerhouses.
“This sounds like a joke, but I have nothing to say about it. I’ll follow you to the higher realm, Yunlong.” Madara suddenly interrupted, which made Yunlong laugh a little.
Yunlong walked to the balcony and opened the window, which caused them to see the sight of Bright Spirit City.
“All of you, do you have faith in me?” He asked with a smile.
The question is simple yet overwhelming to all of them.
Bibi Dong was first to kneel before Yunlong and replied, “Is that even a question? May Yunlong, the Bright Spirit Empire’s Dragon Emperor and God of Miracles, live long and prosper.”
Everyone followed Bibi Dong and said, “May your majesty live long and prosper for eternity!”
Yunlong sensed their faith flowing into his Divine Core, making the Divinity(Miracle) more powerful than before. He walked to the balcony and watched the Douluo Continent with his divine sense, feeling every inch of the land, sea, mountain, and forest at once.
He opened his palm and generated bright golden light that held his divinity, raising it to match the evening sun.
“Let my miracle bless this world!” He shouted, sending his voice to all places.
Swoosh!
The golden light flew to the sky and exploded into golden dust, spreading miracles to even corners of the world. Everyone who believed in Yunlong and his mightiness could feel warmth in their bodies, coursing with divine power.
“My people, from now on, I, Yunlong, the Dragon Emperor of The Bright Spirit Empire, promised neverending glory to all of you!”
BOOM!
A booming yet firm vow spread like a gentle breeze, causing everyone to shout for him.
Bibi Dong watched her son become such a fine man, looking at his broad yet firm back that could rule this world. She cried a little because this felt like yesterday when she held a small Yunlong in her embrace.
“Bibi Dong, come here.” His gentle voice reached her ears.
Bibi Dong smiled and stepped forward to Yunlong, hugging him in a hurry because this felt surreal. “Even an emperor needs an empress, right?” He playfully said, which made her giggle.
“May my beautiful empress live long and prosper for an eternity.”
“Mm.” Bibi Dong kissed him.
