Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

Thanks to their vigorous efforts in saving him, Tachibana Masamune's vital signs have temporarily returned to normal. I dare not say anything else, but he should be able to live for another month or two without any problem.

Moreover, given their limitations due to medical equipment, it's already a miracle that they've managed to do this.

Next, we'll return to the family's specially designed treatment facility, where Tachibana Masamune will receive further treatment. It's safe to say that this guy is truly not going to die anytime soon.

Upon hearing this report, the clansmen outside the main hall were also filled with relief.

They were kept in the dark and fooled for so many years. This evil spirit created so many tragedies, especially by deliberately creating the organization of the Fierce Ghosts.

Although the family bloodline does indeed carry a risk of rage, which is why the family ghost exists.

But as long as those ghosts are brought under control, there may even be a day when the bloodline is pacified, and they will be able to see the light of day again from the family prison.

Moreover, even in prison, it's impossible to say that you've fallen into darkness. The standards there are still humane. Apart from being restricted to certain areas, your food, clothing, shelter, and even entertainment are considered normal.

However, due to the instigation of the king in the guise of Herzog, those family ghosts broke away from their families, giving them a so-called home.

However, the other side only used those family demons to fight against the Snake Clan, indirectly causing a large number of deaths on both sides.

It can be said that the trend of members of the Snake Clan becoming demons is not the norm, but rather extremely rare.

Therefore, even if someone becomes a ghost of the family, the resulting casualties are often not too great.

However, after the formation of the Demon Clan, every battle between the two sides resulted in massive casualties and unimaginable internal strife.

Many of their clansmen died as a result, some even becoming twisted ghosts.

The one who started all of this is Herzog!

Now that they are facing the opponent's clone, they will naturally do everything in their power to save him.

Because the medical staff could also see that the other person was enduring extremely severe pain.

There were no absolutely fatal wounds on his body, but the pain was so intense that it made one's soul tremble, making one marvel at the skill of the nobleman's swordsmanship.

Every extra second the other person lives will bring an extra second of suffering.

Outside the main hall, the wind and rain raged.

The heads of the various families also clenched their fists.

Everyone was very nervous, fearing that Tachibana Masamune would die.

Of course, they don't want the other person to be reborn; they want to keep the other person in constant pain.

It's too easy for the other party to die like this.

Fortunately, after some emergency treatment, Tachibana Masamune finally came back to life.

The previously calm Kotaro Fuma pushed aside the clansmen holding umbrellas and entered the shrine.

He said to Tachibana Masamune, who was almost wrapped up like a mummy, "Patriarch, you must hold on! The members of the Snake Clan have arrived and will not let you die."

The old man spoke earnestly, his voice clenched through gritted teeth.

Like an enraged old lion, he glared fiercely at Tachibana Masamune lying on the ground.

At this moment, only Tachibana Masamune's eyebrows could be vaguely seen, and one could clearly feel that he trembled violently.

Without Tachibana Masamune even thinking about it, he knew that all his schemes had been exposed, and what awaited him was the most severe trial of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Within the family, everyone is united and loving, and they are willing to give their lives for each other.

However, if a member of the clan betrays them, the punishment is extremely severe; cutting off a finger is the least of their worries, and they are usually forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide).

Those who cause serious harm to the clan may even be subjected to the death penalty.

That is, extremely cruel punishments.

The traitor will die in extreme agony.

This process is extremely lengthy, and may even involve being tortured while receiving treatment, all to prolong the suffering indefinitely.

This also serves as a deterrent to other ethnic groups.

Because the Snake Clan would never allow traitors to appear; otherwise, they would no longer be blood relatives, but rather despicable murderers.

Now Tachibana Masamune is on his deathbed, but his pain has not lessened in the slightest. On the contrary, with this intensive treatment, he is kept on his last breath.

That's why that kind of pain spread so intensely throughout his body.

This is undoubtedly the harshest punishment he could receive.

Living is punishment.

Tachibana Masamune, too, was unable to die.

His limbs had all been severed, and although they were wrapped in pigskin, it was only a superficial solution; the inside was already rotting and not enough to support any future recovery.

But the most bizarre thing was that he was extremely agitated, and every bit of pain was vividly displayed, as if he were being roasted over a fire, with every nerve being affected.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

Tachibana Masamune's voice had long since become hoarse, and he had sunk into an abyss of pain.

Yuan Zhisheng stopped looking at the scene in the main hall.

Instead, he just stared blankly at the stone dragons standing in the wind and rain.

He suddenly felt extremely tired.

It wasn't physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

I just feel so tired, so very tired.

I really want to find a place to take a long nap, and then when I wake up, I'll ask Sakura to book him the earliest flight to France so we can go straight to Montalivate Beach to sell sunscreen.

Anyway, he didn't want the so-called divine legacy.

Although such a thing only exists in myths and legends, at present, Genjiro is the person closest to that legacy.

Because Tachibana Masamune was practically dead.

He was the one who called the shots in the entire Snake Clan.

If he so desires, he can unleash the full power of the entire Snake Clan without reservation. He can do whatever he wants, including using the strength of the entire clan, or even the entire power of Japan, to search for that legacy.

If he can find it, Genjiro can inherit what Herzog never had and desperately desired.

Authority, power, throne, immortality...

Everything else will follow.

But he asked himself honestly, those things really weren't what he wanted.

Those things will only become shackles for him, making it difficult for him to breathe and walk, and eventually he will die of exhaustion on his throne.

What good is immortality?

Even those ancient trees that have survived from ancient times to the present have almost eternal lives, but what is the point of living like that?

Unless they can evolve into druids who can run freely.

But that's clearly wishful thinking.

An ancient tree cannot become a druid, and he doesn't want to become that lonely idiot sitting on the throne.

But there is one thing that Genjiro can be certain of, and even guarantee, that he can do.

That means that if he wanted, he could take the Snake Clan's private plane to that beach in France right now, take a nap on the private plane, and see that beautiful scenery the next morning.

Yes, whenever he wants.

But he dared not think about it.

As a traitor, Tachibana Masamune is practically dead. The Snake-Headed Eight Families are currently leaderless, and as the young master of the family, he must step forward at this time.

Because the whole of Japan is in turmoil, and the Oni Clan led by the King is watching from behind the scenes.

Especially since the Felguard were under Herzog's leadership.

If the opponent takes advantage of the situation and launches a strong attack, the Snake-Headed Eight Families will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If the attack is severe and the Snake-Headed Eight Families' status is reduced, making them unable to strongly deter Japan, that will be the time when Japan is in turmoil.

It's unknown how many casualties will result.

Genji knew that what he needed to do now was not to go to France to sell some lousy sunscreen oil. He had to pull himself together and become the banner of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, just like the real Amaterasu, leading the family to glory.

Although he didn't turn his head, he could feel the eager gazes of the family heads.

Genjiro understood his position in the hearts of these family heads. They regarded him as the great Amaterasu no Mikoto. Even if Tachibana Masamune's conspiracy had not been exposed, the future Hebi-hime Hachike would still be under Genjiro's control.

Ultimately, Tachibana Masamune was merely a prime minister, while Genjiro was the one who truly deserved to sit on the throne.

Now that Tachibana Masamune's conspiracy has been exposed and his image has collapsed, even if he comes back to life, he is no longer worthy to be the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and will only be severely punished.

Therefore, the position of patriarch now belongs to Genjiro.

This is also the expectation of everyone in the family, and it can be said to be what everyone hopes for.

Not only is it about facing the potential attacks from the Demon Clan, but if Genji doesn't take this position, no one from the Snake Clan can absolutely sit in it.

The most prestigious one, Kotaro Fuma, would be a good choice.

However, the other party is old and could pass away at any time. Forcing him to take the seat would not be able to win over the people directly. If the family has disagreements, it may split into hostile forces like the Fierce Ghost Clan.

This is true for Kotaro Fuma as well; when other family heads take up the position of patriarch, conflicts and ambiguities will only intensify within the family.

Therefore, at this time, only Genjiro was able to take a seat.

The other party fully meets all the qualifications to become the head of the family. Even the Japanese branch, which was not favored by everyone at the time, has now become the flagship of the Snake Clan under the other party's control.

This was essentially a perfect test, and the Japan branch executive bureau was the perfect answer to this test.

In addition, the other party possesses Amaterasu.

The Japanese have the strongest belief in things like destiny. They believe that Genjiro is the one who can lead the Snake Clan into a new era, and no one can shake that belief.

In conclusion, the only person currently capable and qualified to take the position of patriarch is Genji.

I believe that all the clan members, including the heads of the clan, will strongly support him in taking this position. This expectation is even greater than that of the former patriarch, Tachibana Masamune.

Just a while ago, that French netizen was asking him if he wanted to franchise his shop.

He did not give the other party a clear answer.

But Yuan Zhisheng knew that the days when he wanted to sell sunscreen oil in France were gone forever.

Maybe I'll have to wait until I retire.
