Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1677 The Power of the Sun God
"Sun God Fist!"

"Ah!" The heavy blow from behind almost made Shang Luo fall over.

Victoria was thrilled to learn that she had mastered the power of the sun god. She finally realized that she was no longer that fragile child; she was terrifyingly strong.

"Something's not right with you!" Shang Luo leaned against the wall. That punch might have killed an ordinary person, but it was actually fine for him. "I don't mind if you tap me occasionally, but is this how the power of the Sun God is used?"

"Forget about whether it's suitable or not, just tell me if I'm strong or not!"

"Yes, yes, you're still the best." The power from the Sun God made Shang Luo pale in comparison. In terms of pure strength, he had never actually been able to defeat Victoria before. This was because Victoria had always felt quite vulnerable, so she was very cautious when using her power.

But things are different now. Now, all she wants to do is find something to hit, like a child teething and biting something. But hitting things will break them, and hitting people might hurt them, not to mention the possibility of retaliation. Only Shang Luo can't hurt her or retaliate, and he can even give her some pointers.

So, as expected, once Amun-Zeus's veil was lifted, He ceased to exist. So that's what Amun-Zeus was all about.

"What do you mean? What 'this thing'?"

I just feel that...

Initially, she felt that Amun-Zeus was a very big threat. Even after learning that Amun-Zeus was Victoria's father, she still felt immense pressure.

Emperor Agassiz was never one to be trifled with. He could travel between parallel worlds, ruled more than one Roman Empire, and seemed intent on introducing external forces to alter the future of the current Roman Empire. Such a being was quite terrifying, as no one knew where he had gone.

But when the mysterious veil fell, it was discovered that the source of this power was none other than Victoria.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

In fact, by this calculation, even Achilles has nothing to fear. His power stems from Victoria's authorization. Therefore, if Victoria were to reclaim his power, Achilles' authority would vanish.

[In retrospect, establishing connections with a parallel world's Rome seems to be the very power that Amun-Zeus should have possessed. Looking back, finding the points of divergence in history, and then starting from those points to find other Romes in parallel universes, expanding the boundaries of his power—this is what Amun-Zeus should have been like.]

"Aha! Take my Sun God Fist!"

Shangluo raised his hand to block it: "Practice again next time. Even a dog could dodge a straight punch like that."

This is Amun-Zeus's true, original form. She only knows how to throw straight punches, and doesn't even know how to hide her attacks. And she will obviously cooperate unconditionally with Shangluo's decision, because she had already made that decision beforehand.

"Ah," Shangluo suddenly remembered what Agatha Christie had said, "Your aunt asked you if you had the courage to make a decision. So that's why!"

"I only just realized that myself. So my decision remains the same as before: I'll leave everything to you. I'm a coward."

Agatha Christie's true intention was only revealed just now—Victoria is prone to getting her thoughts tangled up due to overthinking. If she had suddenly learned of this news and realized the immense responsibility she carried, Victoria would likely be in a very tense situation right now.

However, she anticipated that the news might be exposed, so she had Victoria make a decision in advance: just hand everything over to Shangluo.

So now Victoria has no pressure at all, because the necessary decisions have already been made in advance.

Victoria was overjoyed: "Oh, my beautiful and kind aunt. She really has a long-term vision. I am so grateful to her."

“You didn’t say that a couple of days ago.”

"That's certainly a good decision. So, shall we go and bring your father back now?"

“Of course!” Victoria nodded vigorously. “That’s what we should do.” This was something Victoria had already figured out beforehand—since her father made decisions without consulting her at all, whatever she did was perfectly reasonable.

And there is one thing she does care about quite a bit.

“My dream,” Victoria emphasized. “I suspect that my father did something to my dream, that he was using my dream to manipulate another world. I feel that since I gave him that power, I must be able to find where he is.”

"Yes, that's right." Shang Luo nodded. "That's what we should be doing now. Shall we start our investigation with your father's office?"

“Alright!” Victoria perked up like an investigator. “Today, we’re going to see through the gloom of twilight!”

After saying that, Victoria pushed open the office door.

"What are you trying to uncover?" Agassiz, who was signing documents behind his desk, looked up.

"Dad, you're back?"

"Hmm. Shangluo is here too?"

"Ah yes, I'm here."

"Please sit down." He gestured with the tip of his pen to the seat in front of him. "Wait a moment, I'll finish reading this before I talk to you. This was just sent by the Military Intelligence Committee; they're waiting for my reply."

What's wrong with you two? Weren't you going to settle scores with him?

Victoria was speechless.

Although she thumped her chest loudly at the door, she didn't know what to say when she saw her father in person.

The same thing happened in Shangluo. He had previously helped Victoria because she had cried.

Victoria seemed stunned, so he couldn't very well overstep his bounds and take over.

"Alright," Agassiz put down his pen. "Judging from your posture, you two want to see me?"

"Ah, I...we," Victoria stammered in front of her father.

"Shangluo, you answer this."

“We have just finished the trial. I appeared in court on behalf of Amun-Zeus.”

“Hmm,” Agassiz nodded. “So that means you all knew, right? Actually, I saw it when I got back; you moved the files on my desk. It’s my fault for not warning you not to touch them. But it’s not a big deal. The files were just self-destructed because the anti-spying anti-meme was activated. I’ll just draft a new copy later.”

"Why did you do this, sir?"

"Hmm?" Agassiz looked at him. "Are you implying something? What did I do?"
