Chapter 535 Comprehensive improvement

The last calendar year, May 1st.

From the air, the entire Tokyo Fortress was in turmoil, with fighting sweeping across the districts and large-scale casualties occurring one after another.

The battle between the four magic schools and the anti-magic alliance has spiraled out of control. The monarchs behind both sides have left the command center, causing the war to gradually turn into a violent outburst. At the same time, the Blood Rage Corpse Beasts, which resemble a zombie outbreak, are also growing wildly.

Countless piercing sirens tore through the air above the fortress. Since the apocalypse, the most densely populated Adachi Ward had descended into chaos. An out-of-control school bus was stuck in a fire hydrant, and a burst water pipe sprayed water, washing away the mess on the ground. A centipede-like monster rushed in, and hundreds of spear-like legs pierced through it, infecting everyone inside.

Living beings transform into corpse beasts, the specific type depending on the species of organisms they came into contact with before infection.

"The number of humanoid corpse beasts is precipitously high."

At a convenience store on the street, Jiang He casually grabbed a can of chilled beer from the shelf, then took out a piece of gold jewelry from the imperial city and paid the cashier. Unfortunately, the cashier was in a bad mental state and lunged at him with bared teeth and claws. Jiang He slapped the cashier's head off. Whether or not he paid the money and whether or not he killed the cashier were two completely different things.

"The premium is too high, senior."

Mirai Kamishiro complained that she chose this place as a temporary base because, firstly, most of the residents in Adachi Ward were outsiders absorbed by the fortress, and there weren't many strong individuals there; secondly, the relationship between this place and the fortress's magician forces was relatively shallow, making it suitable for avoiding trouble.

In a corner of the convenience store, the old butler of the Jiuye family was taking care of the familiar old patriarch, while the little girl in white was enthusiastically browsing the snack shelves, with a rather large and handsome crow perched on her head.

"They're all the same," Jiang He replied casually.

In his view, a can of beer and ordinary gold jewelry are no different in value.

"You guys watch the door, I'm going to rest for a bit."

"clear."

After replenishing her fluids, Jiang He went to her residence on the second floor of the convenience store and began her transformation.

The Heart of Gold is a symbol of the elite beings of the Golden Age.

It can elevate one's true attribute talent by an entire era, and also accumulate vitality to serve as a source of life.

[Hint: You have become a Gold Elite Being]

[Note: Your Strength attribute talent, King of Mechanical Power, has been promoted to the Undying level. It has evolved into King of the Mountain, with a significant increase in strength.]

A powerful force surged through his limbs and bones. Jiang He clenched his fist and could clearly feel the blockage. The air was compressed into a near-liquid wave.

Initially, this power talent grants a striking force equivalent to that of the Dragon Lance, but this time it's a pure numerical increase.

Jiang He appeared outside the convenience store and went straight to an apartment building. He plunged his hands into the foundation, and the force swept out and covered all directions. Then he gradually stood up, the floor and the foundation broke apart, and the huge apartment building was lifted up.

boom!

Jiang He lifted the entire apartment building, filling the air with smoke and dust.

"It works well."

The King of Mountains possesses the ultimate strength to slowly carry a mountain on his back. In comparison, lifting a building is relatively easy. The high value of all attribute advancements makes each talent quite powerful, and of course, there is also the assistance of epic-level power.

Whoosh!

Jiang He returned to its original position.

[Note: Your Speed ​​attribute talent, Divine Hunter, has been upgraded to the Undying level. Based on its original form, it has evolved into Celestial Hunter—perfectly integrating all Speed-type abilities, resulting in an overall increase of 60%. This skill enjoys the same actual rank as the user.]

The speed enhancements of the Celestial Hunter are integrated into one, including the Dominator Hunter, Night Hunter, Hunting Hunter, and Sinful Era Hunter. The actual effect of the Celestial Hunter is theoretically close to that of a sub-legendary. Although it is still far from being a true sub-legendary, it is enough to make him the overlord of the speed specialization era.

[Note: Your Constitution attribute talent, Gluttony Lord, has been upgraded to the Undying level. In addition to the original, you have gained the Gluttony attribute—each attack can evaporate 5% of the target's energy (at the same level or below). Your personal space has gained the Gluttony World Symbol (containing advanced spatial transportation and time flow adjustment permissions), and you have complete control over it.]

"To devour the heavens and the earth."

In an instant, Jiang He realized that his connection with his personal imperial city had deepened considerably. When he activated the power of the Gluttonous Monarch, a miniature phantom of his personal imperial city appeared behind him.

This time, with the personal space increasing in size, it's no longer as troublesome as before; simply covering the target area with the complete phantom of the imperial city is sufficient.

"The current limit, for a third-order world, should be the size of the entire Tokyo Fortress, to cultivate large groups, breed living beings, and plant rare and precious materials."

Jiang He pondered. In the world of Gluttony, his status was no different from that of the world consciousness, or the Heavenly Dao, and he had absolute freedom to interfere.

As for the advanced time flow adjustment permission, the highest level is to adjust the time flow of Gluttony Heaven to be one day outside and ten years inside. However, since he is Gluttony Heaven himself, this "time flow" cannot be effective on himself or his animal companions.

"An accelerated training room, huh?" Jiang He thought to himself, "but it does consume a bit of my lifespan."

Gold Medal Support Ability +1.

[Note: Your Spiritual Talent - Flawless Soul has been upgraded to the Undying level. In addition to its original value, the Golden Heart's vitality can repair soul damage, and your spiritual resilience has increased by 100%.]

[Note: Your Charisma talent, King's Might, has been upgraded to the Undying level. On top of its original value, it can now deliver a fatal blow to the peak beings of the Golden Age.]

[Hint: Your Charm Trait - Ultimate Beauty has been upgraded to the Unfading level, gaining 9 base Charm points and evolving into Rare Beauty]

[Hint: Your second Charisma talent, Elemental Symphony, has been upgraded to Sub-Legendary level]

[Charm: 65+11→74+11]

Jiang He glanced at Charm expressionlessly. He was already used to it. Anyway, with the Great Magic Reversal, the higher the Charm, the weaker one's own existence, making one more suitable for assassination.

When the Elemental Symphony ascends to the sub-legendary level.

Jiang He immediately activated the Radiant Energy and the Power of Crimson Flame to fuse them, initiating a further qualitative change.

[Hint: You have obtained Advanced Energy - Final Flame - This type of flame energy possesses the same level and rank of ultimate properties.]

At Jiang He's fingertips, a cluster of jet-black flames rose, a flame that could burn almost anything at the same level.

At the same time, skills such as All-Seeing Eye and Radiant Heaven and Earth have undergone certain changes, with the prefix of their powers now being changed to Final Flame.

[Note: Your Epic-level Radiant Mastery has been upgraded to Immortal-level Ultimate Flame Mastery, and the corresponding power has been upgraded to Immortal level]

"Therefore, among the basic Dragon Spear techniques, the strongest one right now is actually the Brocade Ash."

Having improved more than halfway, Jiang He turned his attention to the title. After more than ten days, the regular executions by the hospice, the destruction of the Nanase family of the Nine Clans, and the recent slaughter of the Wan Yan Adventurer Group were enough to raise his title once.

[Note: Your unique title, Beelzebub, has been upgraded to Epic rank. Deals 55% true damage to demons, grants immunity to 55% of total damage from demons, and gains the demonic legacy skills: Demon Brand/Demon Gate. Awakens the exclusive skill, Grand Prince's Crown.]

[Name: Great King's Crown]

[Category: System]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Increases the severity of Hellish diseases by 50%]

[Note: A Call from Hell]

From Undying to Epic, Beelzebub's improvement in terms of demon race is not significant, because there is almost no difference between the two for the ruler of hell. As for the new skill, Crown of the Lord, it clearly shows a growth potential.

The comprehensive upgrade has been completed.

Both Lao Hei and Wu He have ascended to the level of elite beings in the Golden Age.

Jiang He stood up. He was certain that he had crossed the baseline of a Golden Age Overlord-level life form, but since the leap was not significant, Origin obviously did not intend to easily bestow the title of Overlord before testing it in actual combat.

……

Chiyoda Ward, overpass.

An expensive car was speeding along.

The Blue Monarch gripped the steering wheel with both hands, temporarily acting as his personal driver. In the entire Tokyo Fortress, there was only one person who was worthy of this monarch's willingness to do so.

"Lord Taiko, we're almost there."

"Thank you for driving."

In the back seat, the ethereal and distant Taiko-cho coughed violently a few times, like a broken bellows riddled with holes.

The Azure Monarch sighed softly. Unlike himself, the third-generation monarch, this lord was the first human mage, who led the fortress humans through the most difficult years. He was getting old, and according to his estimation, he might not last more than a few years.

The car drove off the overpass and stopped at the military base at the end, where one of the super magic spells, Order Reconstruction, was stored.

Because of the Nanase incident and the death of the guardian, all the super magic originally in the Taiko Building was transferred, and the authority was taken back from the nine Taiko clans. Only the Taiko head still has the qualification to activate it. The original intention was to prevent public resources from becoming private weapons again, but now it has added a lot of trouble.

"Cowboy, don't forget the starter box."

"clear."

In the back seat, the tactical-level magician—the cowboy—who was in charge of carrying things, quickly responded; he was essentially the secretary's secretary.

The Blue Monarch quickly got out of the car, and his power of order created an umbrella, which he used to open the car door.

"Please take care of your health. Once the order reconstruction is initiated, the fortress will eventually return to peace. According to the Tribunal's report, the losses are still within an acceptable range, but we must rescue the citizens who have become zombie beasts as soon as possible."

Taiko-cho slowly alighted from the carriage. A gust of wind blew outside, and his body swayed visibly, like a flickering candle.

The Blue Monarch quickly covered the umbrella even more tightly.

"Are you alright?"

"The same as always." Taiko-cho laughed. "The Great Magic: Yin God is the masterpiece of an outstanding magician from our era. In the Yin God state, magical abilities are greatly enhanced, which is the foundation of replica magic. However, it cannot withstand wind and sun exposure, just like a ghost. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to take a car."

The Azure Monarch wasn't very familiar with the period before the fortress was built, a time before history existed, but this was the first time the other party had talked about replicating magic, so he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"My lord, yin and yang are opposites. Since there is yin spirit magic, is there also yang spirit magic?"

Taiko shrugged and coughed as he replied, "Perhaps, but please don't have too high expectations of me. In the end, I'm just a pitiful old man."

"You are too modest."

"Haha, that kind of answer will get you punished. I'll say it again, you're not really suited to working in places like the Taiko. Without the monarch's power, you might offend someone at any time."

The two entered the military base.

The young man codenamed Cowboy followed closely behind. He felt incredibly safe with these two big shots by his side; all he had to do was carry the items.

However, the extremely quiet environment made the three of them frown inwardly.

The moment he stepped through the blast door, the Azure Monarch's pupils contracted slightly. The thousands of elite mages who were supposed to be guarding the base square were now all lying on the ground, without any wounds, but completely devoid of life.

"This is bad, someone beat us to it," the Grand Secretary said solemnly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the magicians on the ground all stood up, their eyes vacant and their faces ashen, like those of the dead.

A composed, aristocratic-looking middle-aged man quietly appeared, carrying a black and white longsword. He had a dignified appearance, and his attire resembled an ancient robe.

"Long time no see." Taiko-cho's expression was one of utter helplessness.

"How come you're still alive?" the First True Ancestor said bluntly.

The cowboy stood frozen in place, while the Blue Lord was on high alert.

The First Ancestor is rumored to have been lurking in human society before the apocalyptic cataclysm. As order collapsed, the vampires he created occupied vast territories, known as the Blood Kingdom. Furthermore, the appearance of werewolves is directly related to him. It can be said that this Ancestor is the source of dark creatures.

Whoosh!

The First True Ancestor began by drawing his sword.

Despite swaying, Taiko no Nakamaro unleashed a powerful spell, Spatial Wall. A massive wall rose from the ground, its entire surface silver-white, providing a sturdy and formidable defense. However, crossing this area was far more difficult than it appeared.

But the sword light was too fast, completely exceeding the reaction limit of the sub-hero. A black and white light, showing an inconceivable disregard for space, pierced straight through the heart of the Blue Monarch, as if an illusory longsword remained in his chest.

There was no pain, and no blood was spilled.

But the Azure Monarch was pale.

In an instant, thousands of dead mages who had risen again were cracked and turned into dust and vanished. Endless death intent gathered into the sword light, frantically annihilating any life force.

—Immortal-grade secret sword: Sword of Life and Death.

The Blue Monarch stiffly turned to look at the Grand Chancellor.

"Sir, run!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

boom!

The Azure Monarch exploded, and a giant azure sword appeared in the sky, quietly arriving above the First True Ancestor.

The cowboy was stunned, extreme fear welling up in his heart. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. A monarch was a symbol of power in the eyes of any magician, and to kill a monarch with a single sword was completely beyond his comprehension.

A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Grand Secretary.

"A complete hero is a perfect fusion of heroic consciousness, heroic body, and great deeds, naturally possessing 100% extra soul damage, but you can still land a few more sword strikes."

The First True Ancestor laughed it off, looked up at the sky, and saw a huge vortex spinning violently among the thick dark clouds, faintly gathering the wrath of the heavens.
