Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

The look of fear on Herzog's face had gradually faded, but that didn't mean he had calmed down. On the contrary, his heart was already filled with turmoil.

The story of Black Swan Harbor that Herzog told to Ruri Kazama was from a more objective perspective. He also told the same story to Gen Chisei, and he wove a story about the brothers using the same lie.

So many years have passed, and the events of Black Swan Port can no longer be verified. He is the only one who has witnessed the secret experimental base in the far north. No one can expose Herzog's lies, so Herzog created two identities, "Oujiang" and "Tachibana Masamune". Whether they told lies or narrated the true history, they would confirm each other. Herzog deliberately concealed part of the truth from Kazama Ruri and Minamoto Chisei, and told the rest of the story in a confusing way, so that they would guess... Often a person may be suspicious of what he hears from others, but if the "truth" is guessed by himself, he will most likely believe it.

But the young man's words were mixed with many truths that Herzog had not revealed to the brothers. What Lu Mingfei told was no longer the lies that Herzog had woven to Fengjian Liuli... He was telling the true history of twenty years ago. How could Herzog not be shocked?

But Lu Mingfei obviously did not care about Herzog's inner thoughts. He continued to narrate that little-known history in this world.

"Bondarev learned of your plan and expressed his strong approval. At the time, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and you didn't need to stay in Black Swan Harbor forever," Lu Mingfei said calmly. "So you suggested to Bondarev that you withdraw the institute from the Black Sea. Bondarev said it was impossible to take all the staff and precious experimental materials with you. So, you two worked together to engineer the fire that burned down Black Swan Harbor."

"All the evidence, countless genetic research samples and data, hundreds of mixed-race children collected from around the world, thousands of embryos with super genes about to hatch, and hundreds of research assistants and staff..." Lu Mingfei whispered, "The world's most advanced dragon genetics research institute was destroyed by a fire. The flames illuminated the snow-capped mountains and the Black Sea, igniting the sky of northern Siberia. The fire burned all night, and Black Swan Harbor was reduced to ruins in the blazing flames."

"That night, the Lenin, belonging to the former Soviet Northern Fleet, emerged from the vast white fog of the Black Sea. You boarded the Lenin, illuminated by the firelight. Of course, you weren't alone, leaving everything behind. You brought four things aboard," Lu Mingfei said. "Core research data and notes, a ghost potion that can improve bloodline purity, frozen super-gene embryos... and three hybrid children of the finest bloodlines, born through in vitro fertilization using 'imperial blood'."

"Gen. Chisei, Gen. Chijou, and Eri." Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog. "They are your best experimental results that you took away from Black Swan Harbor, right?"

Facing Lu Mingfei's question, Herzog remained silent, with an obscure expression on his face.

"But the moment you boarded the ship, Major Bondarev betrayed you," Lu Mingfei said. "He pulled out a submachine gun and shot you in the back. You fell into the Black Sea and were swept back to the burning Black Swan Harbor by the waves. Major Bondarev, taking everything you had prepared, left Black Swan Harbor on the Lenin and disappeared into the vast sea fog."

"But fortunately, you survived. Neither the gunshot nor the fire took your life. You only suffered severe burns all over your body. However, in the freezing cold of Western Syria and the depths of the Black Sea, burns aren't fatal, and you luckily survived," Lu Mingfei said. "Although the institute burned down, many valuable items remained within the ruins. You sold them, made some money, and used your fake identity."

"You went to Japan because you heard that the Lenin left Black Swan Harbor and sank in Japanese waters." Lu Mingfei continued, "There was an ancient dragon embryo on that ship, a sacrifice to awaken the 'god'. You knew it must have been done by Major Bondarev. He stole your plan. The being on the throne is always lonely. Bondarev wants to replace you and ascend to the supreme throne."

Herzog's face suddenly darkened, and his hands involuntarily rubbed his face. Lu Mingfei's words mentioned the cunning side of Bondarev, that man. That man almost ate him, and the pain he caused him still hurts... It was precisely because of that man's backstabbing that Herzog developed his cautious and suspicious character. He does not trust anyone except himself, and he only wants to increase his own nutrients to be eaten.

"After you arrived in Japan, you spent a large sum of money to repair your burned skin, and then you had plastic surgery to give yourself a Japanese face." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "This is actually a good thing for you, because Major Bondarev doesn't know you're alive, nor does he know what you look like now. You are in the open, and he is in the dark. He controls all the resources, but you control the timing. You can search for Bondarev while plotting how to take everything back from him."

"You tried to get information about Bondarev through certain channels, but you discovered he wasn't a descendant of the Romanov dynasty as he claimed, and the KGB archives didn't even mention such a major," Lu Mingfei said. "You couldn't investigate his past at all. He arrived at Black Swan Harbor with a former Soviet military rank and KGB files, but they were all fabricated. His identity and past remain a mystery."

"Although Japan isn't a large country, it's not easy to find someone by asking door to door. Finding someone this way is even more difficult. Furthermore, Bondarev is likely hiding his face and identity like you, making it nearly impossible for you to meet him," Lu Mingfei said. "So you set your sights on the area where the Lenin sank. You knew that after causing the shipwreck, Bondarev would definitely keep an eye on the situation below the Abyss. He wanted to know if your plan to resurrect 'God' was feasible, so waiting around Japanese waters was the best option."

"Day after day, you staked out Japanese waters every night. You observed carefully, and finally locked onto a small fishing boat. It stayed in the same area almost every night, and it was equipped with a sonar system," Lu Mingfei said. "But you didn't rush to act. Bondarev's rebellion in Black Swan Port made you doubly cautious. Besides, your bloodline wasn't as strong as Bondarev's. If you couldn't kill him with one strike, you'd likely be killed by Major Bondarev. You bought three powerful torpedoes on the Japanese black market, and one night, you completely destroyed the small boat. You watched from a distance for a long time, and only boarded the ship to investigate after you were sure there were no survivors."

Herzog subconsciously held his breath. Lu Mingfei perfectly recounted what happened twenty years ago, as if he had pried open his brain and dug out the memory. That old fact was so deeply impressed in him that when it was suddenly recounted by someone else, it was as if he was once again in that life-and-death night, which made him tremble with fear.

"You found a charred corpse in the ship's cabin. The explosion and flames had ravaged it beyond recognition, so you couldn't tell by appearance whether it was Bondarev. But next to the charred body was a parchment scroll, untouched by the fire. It contained a revised plan to resurrect the White Emperor," Lu Mingfei said. "You used this scroll to confirm that the charred corpse was Bondarev. The thrill of revenge was instantaneous, and you felt both happy and satisfied because you had devoured Bondarev and his plan. In the end, you were the one who would obtain the 'Sacred Remains.' Bondarev had prepared everything for you."

"Later, you found Bondarev's secret base in Tokyo. I think it's the room we're staying in now. It houses Bondarev's improved ghost potion, the step-by-step hatching record of the ancient dragon embryo that sank into the abyss, and his plan to gradually control the Japanese underworld." Lu Mingfei said, "Resurrecting the White King is by no means a matter of a day or a night, nor is it a feat that can be accomplished by one person. It requires the support of a powerful religion or a strong force. Bondarev set his sights on the Yakuza clan, the main clan of the Japanese underworld. He forged his identity as a descendant of the Tachibana clan and sent the super hybrids he brought from Black Swan Harbor deep in the mountains. He planned to take them into the Yakuza clan when they grew up and train them as future heirs."

"Bondarev has paved all the way for you, and it's only natural that you inherited his forged identity. You sent one of those super-hybrid brothers to the Snake Clan and the other to the Demon Clan. They both carry precious 'imperial blood', and naturally became the leaders of the two organizations." Lu Mingfei stared intently into Herzog's eyes. "Those brothers are Minamoto no Chisei and Minamoto no Chijo. You transformed Minamoto no Chijo into the 'evil ghost' named Kazama Ruri, creating a rift between the two brothers. This way, you can further successfully instigate hatred between the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan. As the teacher of the two leaders, you can wield the power of the two organizations at your fingertips and firmly control the situation in Japan."

"In other words, if you want a peaceful Japan, the country will be peaceful and tranquil. If you want chaos in Japan, the Japanese underworld will be in turmoil," Lu Mingfei said. "In the end, whether the Snake Eight Clan wins or the Demon Clan wins, 'God' will fall into your hands."

Herzog just opened his lips to speak but was interrupted by Lu Mingfei.

"But your flawless plan was interrupted by our sudden appearance, right?" Lu Mingfei changed the subject and looked at Herzog. "Your plan was interconnected, but every move I made was precisely timed to hit the most crucial juncture in each link. You thought you were an unparalleled chess player, but Gen Chisei, Kazama Ruri, Uesugi Eri... these most important pieces of yours were all removed from your chessboard one by one by me."

Herzog's eyes switched between fear and terror, his mind quickly recalling what had happened in Japan during this period... Indeed, this young man was always present every time a major event occurred.

Chapter 593 The Evil Spirit of Black Swan Harbor

After the end of the "Jiyuan Plan", the dragon-like Lu Mingfei was captured by the Ghost Clan, and then when Deadpool attacked Genji Heavy Industries, Lu Mingfei appeared in the Genji Heavy Industries Building, blinded one eye of Tachibana Masamune, and abducted Uesugi Eriya. Also, during the Ghost Clan's hunt for Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Eriya, Lu Mingfei killed hundreds of elite Ghost Clan members led by Yoshikitaro, and also eliminated a puppet shadow warrior whose combat power was comparable to that of the "Emperor".

Just like Lu Mingfei said, every step... every step he took was at the critical juncture of a major event. Herzog's originally perfect plan was interfered with and destroyed bit by bit by him, and finally fell apart.

It turned out that it was not because of Fengjian Liuli's leak, but from the very beginning... from the very beginning, Herzog had been targeted and calculated by this young man. As early as when the team from Kassel Academy arrived in Japan, this guy named Lu Mingfei began to tear apart piece by piece the giant net that Herzog had spent a full twenty years covering the country of Japan.

In Herzog's heart, the feeling of fear was spreading rapidly like a crack, not only because of Lu Mingfei's ridicule and contempt for him, but also because of Lu Mingfei's words just now... The amount of information contained in Lu Mingfei's words was too much. It could be said that those were the history that no one in the world knew except Herzog. Those were the private secrets that Herzog had hidden in his heart.

There were even things in Lu Mingfei's words that Herzog didn't know... In some ways, this young man knew more about the past twenty years than Herzog did!

For example, Herzog only knew that there were the remains of an ancient dragon hidden in Black Swan Harbor, but he didn't know whether the ancient dragon had a noble bloodline when it was alive, nor did he know whether it had any honorific titles or nobility in the ancient history of dragons. For another example, Herzog realized late that Major Bondarev's identity was a fake. Even after he had a certain status in Japan, he still didn't give up investigating the identity of that man. But in the end, Herzog still got nothing. The result he got was the same as what Lu Mingfei said, Major Bondarev's military rank was fake, and his identity as a descendant of the Romanov dynasty was also fake. There was no such person in the twenty-two intelligence agencies of the KGB. He had no identity and no past.

But how did Lu Mingfei know all this? How could he possibly know this? This young man was only twenty years old, he had never been to Russia or Japan, yet he knew almost all the secrets of Black Swan Port and Herzog!

Herzog knew in his heart that these secrets were definitely not told to Lu Mingfei by Ange, nor were they investigated by Kassel Academy, because he understood the working style of the strongest dragon slayer and the secret party. If they knew about the Black Swan Port and his own plan, they would never let him go, and would not tolerate him to resurrect the White Emperor. All dragons and half-breeds who yearned for dragons were enemies of the secret party. Herzog knew this better than anyone else, otherwise on the night Ange just arrived in Japan and left the Tamamonomae Club, he would not have just smashed the car that Herzog was riding in, but killed him without hesitation.

Given Ange's behavior, this is an unquestionable result, unless Ange does not know Herzog's true identity and his purpose... As the principal, Ange knows nothing, but as a student, Lu Mingfei knows everything about Japan. How can Herzog not feel weird?

Herzog had never felt so helpless and terrified in his long life. He stared at Lu Mingfei's face. The young but pale face seemed to become more and more familiar under his gaze, gradually overlapping with a distant and vague figure in his mind.

Herzog lowered his head and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to finally suppress the fear in his heart. Suddenly, Herzog raised his head and asked Lu Mingfei, "Have you been to the Black Swan Harbor?"

"How do you know about the environment of Black Swan Port?" Herzog asked Lu Mingfei in a rapid voice. "How do you know that the port is covered in cold and snow all year round? How do you know it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains? How do you know that Black Swan Port is located in the Black Sea? How do you know that the Black Sea is always shrouded in white fog?"

"How do you know the supply ship only comes once a month?" Herzog asked questions one after another, as if trying to vent his confusion and anxiety. "How do you know the remains of the ancient dragon in Black Swan Port are still alive? How do you know the specific configuration of Black Swan Port? How many half-blood children are there from all over the world, and how many staff are there?"

"How did you know I was betrayed by Major Bondarev?" Herzog's voice gradually became louder and higher in pitch. "And how did you know how I ambushed Major Bondarev? And how did I kill him? How did you know my plan? How did you know my plan? I haven't mentioned it to anyone in all these years! I haven't mentioned it to anyone in all these years!"

Herzog asked these questions almost in a roar. After asking, he suddenly bent down, supported his hands on his knees, and started coughing violently.

Herzog's situation during this period was actually extremely difficult... The eyes blinded by Lu Mingfei and the ears cut off by Yuan Zhisheng did not even have time to recover. Although he took the initiative to abandon the identity of Tachibana Masamune, it was also a helpless move. In the end, he left the Snake Eight Families like a stray dog ​​and returned to his secret base. All the people of the Menggui Clan and the Kanto Branch were killed. He lost control of Hongjing, and the "God" was resurrected early, but Uesugi Eri, who served as the "container", could not be found.

So many things had happened in succession in the past few days, all beyond the expected circumstances. The plan that Herzog had prepared for twenty years had been completely destroyed. He had been exhausted these days and had not had a good night's sleep. His old body should not have been able to bear it.

But the ambition to become the new emperor supported Herzog's spirit. Sometimes ambition is such an unreasonable thing. Once it emerges, surprise, fear, even old age and illness, all the pain and torture are temporarily suppressed... Herzog slowly straightened up and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei... who are you?" Herzog asked Lu Mingfei the deepest question in his heart. "We know each other, right? Not only do you know me, I know you too... but I can't remember who you are."

"It's normal that you can't remember." Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog calmly, his tone also very calm, "The person you know is probably not me... It's my younger brother."

"Your brother?" Herzog was stunned.

……

Tokyo Meteorological Bureau Hall.

"When disaster strikes, those who flee are cowards! Those who take advantage of the disaster to loot are criminals of the country! We will never tolerate such villains...even if they are the Prime Minister or the Emperor!"

"And I, Kozenigata Yukiheiji, as the Governor of Tokyo and Tokyo's highest administrative officer, hereby swear that I will live and die with the city of Tokyo! Our Kozenigata family has dedicated our everything to Japan since the shogunate era. No man has ever surrendered to the enemy or natural disasters! And I, Kozenigata Heiji, will inherit the mantle of my family's ancestors and dedicate my everything to Japan!"

"Citizens of Tokyo, do not be afraid, do not be timid! People of faith are fearless! Come on, whether it's thugs or disasters! Do not harm innocent people, come at me if you have the guts! Even if I'm drowned by a tsunami, even if I'm swallowed by lava, I won't retreat, I won't frown... Let the storm come even harder!"

The person who was speaking in the hall of the Meteorological Bureau was Yukiheiji Kozeni. The Equipment Department had prepared a loudspeaker system for him to deliver a disaster relief speech to the whole of Tokyo... But at this moment, Yukiheiji Kozeni's speech had gone beyond the scope of a speech, and his volume was between a shout and a roar.

In fact, Kozeni Yukihei's speech was normal at the beginning, but then it gradually became outrageous... This can be attributed to the bottle of wine Kozeni Yukihei drank before the speech.

The vice-principal persuaded him to drink that bottle of wine, because Xiao Qian Xingpingci was a little timid before his speech. The speech that Ange revised for him was too shocking. He was afraid that his speech would not be powerful enough, so the vice-principal suggested that he drink a bottle of wine before the speech to give him courage and to regulate his emotions. Xiao Qian Xingpingci took the bottle of tequila and drank it in one breath. He almost jumped up because of the spiciness.

The vice-principal didn't know that Xiao Qian Xingheiji's alcohol tolerance was very average, and he was known as "no more than three cups" at common banquets in Tokyo. Xiao Qian Xingheiji also didn't know that the alcohol content of the vice-principal's wine was so high. If he were to light a cigar now, his esophagus and stomach would probably burn.

It was obvious that Yukihei Kozeni was drunk and even started talking incoherently, but no one cared about the drunken governor of Tokyo now... Even Yukihei Kozeni's secretary Chiyuki Yuki ignored him. Obviously, there were more important things to pay attention to in the hall of the Meteorological Bureau at this time.

Everyone was sitting around the conference table in the center of the hall. On the tabletop was a black metal box, with a jet-black sheen slowly flowing across it. Seven knife handles were inserted into the sides of the box, and the exposed parts of the long knives were engraved with intricate patterns... They were alchemical matrices, and these blades of different shapes were all infused with complex and powerful alchemical technology.

"What is this?"

As a scientist, Shio Miyamoto could no longer sit still. He could not help but stand up and stretch out his hands, looking like he wanted to touch the alchemical swords sealed in the ancient metal box. But when his fingers were about to touch the dark golden blades, he suddenly stopped... It was out of awe, as if he was afraid that his casual movements would awaken the gods sleeping in these ancient swords.

"The Seven Deadly Sins." The Vice Principal snapped his fingers. "Forged by the Lord of Bronze and Fire, these ultimate alchemical weapons represent the pinnacle of alchemical technology spanning thousands of years, created to slay Dragon King-level targets."

As if in response to the vice-president's call, the "Seven Deadly Sins" on the conference table trembled slightly, and the collision between the blade and the metal box made a thrilling buzzing sound, like seven ancient dragons chained by iron chains.

"Hiss!!" As soon as these words came out, Miyamoto Shio's body shook violently, and the sound of gasps rang out one after another in the hall... They were the researchers from the Ganliu Research Institute, and their eyes were fixed on the long black box on the conference table.

"The Seven Deadly Sins"... that is a myth in the world of alchemy, and its status is comparable to that of "Mona Lisa" in the world of painting, and "Fate" in the world of piano. It is an absolute and unprecedented peak in a certain field. There are also many researchers dedicated to alchemy in the Yanliu Research Institute. At this moment, facing the product of the myth, how could they not be excited and want to worship it.

Kassel Academy actually possesses a divine weapon of this level!

"Excuse me... can I take it out and take a look?" Miyamoto Shio's voice trembled slightly. "Can we see it? Any one of the Seven Deadly Sins will do... Otherwise, having an alchemical weapon of this caliber before us and not being able to see it would be a lifelong regret!"

"Sure...as long as you can pull it out." The vice principal took a sip of whiskey and made a gesture of invitation to the "Seven Deadly Sins" on the table.

Miyamoto Shio nodded, and subconsciously reached out for the fourth knife in the black metal box... The fourth knife of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is "Laziness". Because the handle is in the style of a Japanese long sword, Miyamoto Shio subconsciously set his target on "Laziness".

The moment Miyamoto Shio grasped the handle of the "Laziness" knife, his body trembled slightly, and a heavy and complicated touch came from his hand. This is definitely a craft that modern Japanese craftsmen cannot produce. Even Miyamoto Shio cannot judge its material.

Miyamoto Shio exerted a little force, but "Laziness" was just like its name, lying quietly in the metal box, motionless. Miyamoto Shio increased his strength, and the muscles of his arms even supported the fabric of his sleeves, but "Laziness" was still locked in the alley, motionless.

Miyamoto Shio roared angrily, and he burst out with all his strength. Even though he was not a fighter, as the head of the Sheqi Eight Families, the purity of his bloodline was definitely not low, and his pure muscle strength was even comparable to that of a world weightlifting champion among ordinary people... But he still couldn't pull out the "Seven Deadly Sins", and even the metal box that sealed the Seven Deadly Sins didn't move on the table at all. Instead, Miyamoto Shio's hands lost strength and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Caesar quickly grabbed Miyamoto Shio's collar and helped him steady his body. Miyamoto Shio stared at the still sleeping "Laziness" with wide eyes, and seemed unable to understand why he couldn't even pull out a knife... His hands were still shaking uncontrollably.

"What do you mean by overestimating one's own abilities? This is what it means to overestimate one's own abilities." The vice-principal sneered as if he was watching a play.

Chapter 594 Lu Mingfei's Meaning

"Not only are the alchemical swords of the Seven Deadly Sins truly composed, but even the container that holds them has been imbued with a powerful alchemical matrix." The Vice Principal's fingers tapped the desk at a rapid tempo as he explained to Miyamoto Shio, "Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Jealousy, and Wrath."

"Before coming here, we used blood of sufficient purity to awaken this set of alchemical swords. Once the Seven Deadly Sins are awakened, a strong magnetic force will be generated within the scabbard, sucking the swords into it. The force increases tenfold, making it increasingly difficult to pull them out as you go." The Vice Principal glanced at Miyamoto Shio. "Even an A-rank student with excellent pedigree at Kassel Academy would struggle to pull out the third sword, Greed. And yet you're trying to pull out the fourth, Laziness, in one go. Isn't that overestimating your abilities?"

Miyamoto Shio stood there with his face flushed. Maybe he had a chance to pull out the first "Lust" or the second "Gluttony", but after being rejected by the "Seven Deadly Sins", he didn't have the face to try again. After all, he was in front of President Angers and Vice President, and everyone in the Ganliu Research Institute was watching. Miyamoto Shio could only sit back in his seat in disappointment.

"If our opponent is the enemy known as 'God,' ordinary alchemical weapons will no longer be enough." Ange patted the heavy metal sword case and said to Caesar and Chu Zihang, "Put Dick Tudo and Murasame aside for now and switch to the weapons in here. This will slightly increase our chances of winning... But even so, the probability of us killing 'God' is still slim."

Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and nodded... Indeed, in such a difficult situation, it is of course a good thing to be able to strengthen one's own strength. The "Seven Deadly Sins" are indeed more powerful than Dektur and Murasame.

Then, in everyone's astonished eyes, Caesar reached out and pulled out "Greed" from the metal knife box, while Chu Zihang casually pulled out "Laziness", which Miyamoto Shio tried his best to pull out.

Miyamoto Shio's eyes were about to pop out because Chu Zihang's action was too casual. If he hadn't just tried to pull out "Laziness", he would have thought that Chu Zihang had pulled out a child's plastic toy knife from the mud.

Not to mention Miyamoto Shio, even Ange and the vice-principal were obviously stunned for a moment. They originally thought that Ange and the vice-principal looked at each other quickly, and understood the meaning in each other's eyes... because they planned to let Caesar and Chu Zihang use only "Taotie" and "Greed".

Originally, Ange and the vice-principal thought that with Caesar and Chu Zihang's bloodline, pulling out the third "Greed" should be their limit, and there might be some problems ahead. However, these two guys pulled out the third and fourth swords effortlessly... Seeing how they were at ease, pulling out the fourth "Laziness" should be no problem for Caesar, and Chu Zihang can even challenge the fifth "Rage".

Ange and the vice-principal both understood that it was not simply because Caesar and Chu Zihang had become stronger, but because their bloodlines had improved... For Caesar, it was because the effect of "Blood Rage" had just ended, and for Chu Zihang, not only was the "Blood Rage" blessing on him, but he also had the marks of the three Dragon Kings in his consciousness.

If everything develops according to Lu Mingfei's plan, Chu Zihang can really receive the baptism of dragon blood. After this trip to Japan, Kassel Academy may be able to produce a second "S"-level... Chu Zihang's bloodline will definitely have a qualitative leap, and Caesar will be far beyond the ordinary "A" level, just like rebirth after Nirvana.

"Very good, you've given me quite a surprise." Ange quickly recovered from his surprise and praised Caesar and Chu Zihang. "In a war, any tiny advantage is precious. You've somehow increased your chances of winning by 0.01 percent. Perhaps that will change the outcome."

"Hey, are you guys ready? Can we invite our beautiful girl to come on stage?" The vice principal said to the people in the equipment department while drinking.

Miyamoto Sawa and the people at Ganryu Research Institute were still confused and had no idea who the "beautiful girl" the vice-president was talking about was.

"We've been preparing for this for a long time. The moment Kaguya-sama removed the firewall, the academy's network had already hacked into the Japanese server." Vice Principal Karl nodded. "The projection equipment was also set up the moment the meeting started."

The projection system was set up right above the conference table. It looked different from ordinary projectors. It was shaped like a huge aperture, and its structure was at least a hundred times more complicated than that of a home projector. It seemed to be trying to display something in 3D projection mode... Deputy Minister Karl gestured to a researcher from the Equipment Department at the end of the conference table. After receiving the signal, the researcher nodded and pressed the start button of the projector.

A bright blue glow poured down from the aperture of the projector. The illusory halo actually revealed a real texture. The star-like glow gradually constructed the image of a young girl, about twenty years old, with playful and cute twin tails, just like a two-dimensional beautiful girl who jumped out of a Japanese anime.

Everyone in the Ganliu Research Institute looked at each other in bewilderment. No one knew what this projected beautiful girl that suddenly appeared was... In fact, the Sheqi Eight Families also had a similar Kaguya-hime, but Kaguya-hime had no specific image. It was just a high-computing, super-intelligent program that existed on the server terminal.

"Is this... Norma from the headquarters?" Miyamoto Shio asked Deputy Minister Karl in a daze. He had heard of the supercomputer at Kassel Academy a long time ago. It could be said that Princess Kaguya of the Snake Eight Clan was modeled after Norma.

"This is EVA," Deputy Minister Karl said calmly. "You can also think of it as Norma in her offensive form. Norma is only responsible for the academy's curriculum, maintenance, and information storage...she acts as the academy's secretary. But if Kassel Academy is invaded, or a second-generation or higher dragon appears somewhere in the world, or if someone awakens her due to some human factor, Norma's program will be replaced with EVA."

"By the way, EVA was designed based on someone's real personality. She possesses a strong sense of subjectivity, and at the academy, she's known as Norma's 'war personality,'" Deputy Minister Karl explained. "EVA is the Norma mainframe's peak operating state. When EVA is activated, the supercomputer's operating power increases to 800% of its rated power, network transmission speeds increase 400 times, floating-point computing power increases 1,200 times, and graphics simulation capabilities increase 540 times... In short, EVA's combined computing power is roughly equivalent to at least 100 Normas."

"hiss!!!"

The sound of gasps rang out again in the hall of the Meteorological Bureau. This was the second time in one day that the people at the Rock Flow Research Institute had been frightened like this.

Originally, the Yanliu Research Institute believed that their technology was at least comparable to that of the Equipment Department of Kassel Academy, even if it could not be said to be on par. However, when Deputy Minister Karl spoke of the precise data of EVA, the hearts of the researchers at the Yanliu Research Institute grew colder little by little... The gap was too big. It was like you thought you were Britain or Germany, and the gap with the world's top technological countries was visible to the naked eye. If you catch up, you may narrow the gap or even surpass them. But when you actually witnessed the powerful technology of other countries, you were stunned and sadly discovered that you were at best just the most developed Mauritian on the backward continent.

There is also a gap in weapons and bloodline. Although the Sheqi Eight Families own 90% of Japan's ancient swords and ancient swords with alchemical technology, they do not have a single artifact that can rival the "Seven Deadly Sins". The Sheqi Eight Families were once proud of their possession of a super hybrid with "royal blood", but except for Yuan Zhisheng, the top combat power among the other family heads is not even comparable to "A"-level students like Caesar and Chu Zihang... not to mention that there are terrifying monsters like Xia Mi among their students.

It was not until this moment that the talents of the Sheqi Eight Families realized the gap between themselves and the main campus of Kassel Academy... The gap was so huge that it made people feel discouraged.

"Okay, we didn't come to Japan to show off. If this incident can't be resolved, we might end up like the Sheqi Eight Clan and this city!" Ange whispered. He looked at Eva at the conference table, "Eva, predict for us what will happen in Japan next."

"This is easy, but before I predict the situation for you, someone sent an email to your mailbox." Eva said to Ange, "It's a video. I think you would like to take a look at it first?"

Ange was stunned, frowning slightly. "Didn't I ask Norma to block my email before I left? How come I'm still receiving emails?"

"The email was sent by a school board member, and Norma had no right to refuse." Eva said, "And the other party's computer skills are comparable to those of the world's top hackers. He directly bypassed the blocking system and 'stuffed' this video into your email."

Ange sighed. It was obvious that he had guessed who the other person was. Among the directors of Kassel College, there was only one guy who was so shameless.

"Play it," Ange said helplessly. "He should know about the situation in Japan. I hope he can bring me some good news and not send me some funny videos of him taking a shower or picking up girls at this critical moment."

Eva played the video in Angers' mailbox. The moment the video started, the lights in the Meteorological Bureau hall dimmed, and Eva's figure in the middle of the conference table disappeared, replaced by a thick darkness.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the center of the darkness. It was the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe. Countless star clusters scattered, and this process was accelerated by billions of times. The original matter in the universe began to spread and gather. Galaxies were born one after another over the long years. Space expanded rapidly in all directions, and the dimension of time was given meaning.

Led by Deputy Minister Karl and Miyamoto Shio, researchers from the Equipment Department of Kassel Academy and the Sheqi Eight Family Lava Flow Research Institute all stood up and applauded vigorously... At this moment, it was no longer a question of stance and technology. This was due to the scientists' respect for the starting point of the universe. This quiet and infinite space is the beginning of all things and has given birth to all life. Whenever scientists look up and see the vast sea of ​​stars, they can't help but feel excited. That is the starting point and end of all scientific development.

A blue planet was born in the long evolution of the universe. Undersea volcanoes erupted, and the land gradually solidified on the ocean to form a stable continental shelf. Plates moved, meteorites fell... Living things were born in "nothingness", from primordial soup to blue-green algae, to Paramecium, to trilobites, and various ancient vegetation... Billions of years of Earth's history were compressed into just a dozen seconds.

"I say, can't we just skip this meaningless and nonsensical opening?" Ange took a deep breath. This was indeed that guy's usual style. He would always use his stupidity to challenge your tolerance, and only get to the point when it was infinitely close to the critical point.

As if responding to Ange's words, the 3D projection screen suddenly switched. The vast universe and stars disappeared, as did the biological evolution and DNA evolution. The screen turned into sunshine, white clouds, sea and beach, as well as wheat-skinned, proud-figured bikini beauties chasing and playing on the beach.

A man wearing sunglasses, beach shorts, and revealing eight golden abdominal muscles appeared in the screen. Due to the advanced projection technology of EVA, the man really seemed to appear out of thin air at the conference table. He raised his hand and greeted enthusiastically, then slightly lowered his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face and a smile as bright as gold.

The next moment, the man's figure disappeared, and the 3D projection turned into darkness. Everyone at the conference table looked at each other in confusion, and no one knew whether the power had suddenly gone out.

"What's wrong, Chu Zihang?" Angé looked at Chu Zihang at the end of the conference table.

Chu Zihang stood next to the projection equipment controller, holding a wire in his hand... Obviously, he had unplugged the power supply of the projection equipment.

"I asked Chu Zihang to help me pull it out." Caesar rolled his eyes. "You can put up with my scoundrel father's stupidity, but I've had enough."
