Dragon Clan: I, Maybach, join the chat group

Herzog.

In truth, for Masamune Tachibana, this name was a secret deeply buried beneath his two identities in Tokyo.

But now, someone was able to reveal it with a single word, which was truly beyond his imagination.

Fortunately, however, he still had a hidden card.

“……”

The atmosphere was like a solidified black tide.

The expression on Herzog's face was only a fleeting moment, but it was quickly suppressed.

“Are you here because of what happened years ago?”

He looked around at the crowd, the members of the Eight Families of the Serpent, all personally selected by him, all possessing the ability to control and erase the memories of Chisei Gen.

The crowd immediately understood the meaning.

The clapper slowly lowered, and the inexplicable fear that had arisen in Chisei Gen's heart dissipated at this moment.

“Yes.”

Uesugi Ketsu's face was stern.

Deep in his eyes, he looked at Masamune Tachibana with some doubt. This old man did not immediately produce the trump card he should have possessed, as he had expected.

What was he waiting for? Was the timing not right?

Herzog naturally saw this doubt.

“Since the head of the Uesugi family has come forward, I presume you don't want to see the Eight Families of the Serpent destroyed so quickly.” He slowly explained the situation.

“How about this, the Eight Families of the Serpent will be taken over by you. During this time, they will all be at your disposal…”

“As long as it is in my name, Masamune Tachibana, they should not disobey.” Masamune Tachibana finished speaking.

As the words fell.

A silence fell over the grove.

Karasu revealed a shocked expression at the appropriate time. The power exchange of the entire Eight Families of the Serpent was actually so rapid?

Sakurai Kogure was also amazed by the other party's rashness.

After all, according to the original regulations, the handover of power of the Eight Families of the Serpent must be conducted in a meeting in front of the other elders. This was an established rule.

However, Masamune Tachibana did so.

The so-called "commanding the Eight Families of the Serpent in his name" was not just a way to lure others to usurp his power?

Although it was not a violation of the rules, this matter would definitely be severely punished. Even if the other party was unwilling, at this moment, it was equivalent to giving up the position of family head.

Even if the successor was Herzog, the most trusted patriarch of the Eight Families of the Serpent, he would not be able to do such a thing so boldly.

Everyone felt a strong sense of incongruity.

This old man, who always looked amiable, Masamune Tachibana, who seemed very easy to talk to, seemed to be playing a very big game of chess at this moment? How could that be?

“……”

For some reason.

At this moment, staring at the old man in front of him.

Uesugi Ketsu actually felt a sense of threat.

This threat was not something that existed before, but from the moment he began to suspect him, the other party had already been staring at him with the eyes of a snake.

He had the idea of tearing the other party apart, but given that Tokyo often had "shadow warriors," doing so might accelerate the other party's plan.

He could not help but fall into the other party's trap.

It was like punching cotton. All of Masamune Tachibana's words were impeccable. Even if he called out the other party's real name, it would only be a matter of discussion afterward.

“Okay.”

His eyes stared at Masamune Tachibana: “I promise you.”

“Although I don't know what you are planning, at least let me take over the Eight Families of the Serpent now.”

“……”

“Thank you.”

Herzog's eyes flashed with green snake-scale-like light. He slowly turned around, entrusted a few words to the attendants beside him, and then turned and walked into the mountains.

Only left.

Chisei Gen in place.

“Agreed.”

Sakurai Kogure nodded.

The rest of the Eight Families of the Serpent said nothing. Chisei Gen felt even stranger about this strange atmosphere, and then his eyes looked directly at Uesugi Ketsu opposite him.

He directly grabbed the other party's shoulder.

“Head of the Uesugi family, what exactly did you do?”

“Who exactly is Herzog?”

Hearing this.

Uesugi Ketsu looked at the young man in front of him. He couldn't tell who the other party's eyebrows resembled, but in short, he looked very familiar. And what was even more unexpected to him was that the other party's bloodline seemed to be very high.

Compared to himself, he was only a little bit worse.

“Interesting young man, perhaps I will tell you these things later… but it's too early now.”

Uesugi Ketsu looked at the crowd at the end of the team, then pondered for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth: “Everyone, the next task is still to wait here.”

“As for me, I will take some miscellaneous teams to other places.”

“Continue your unfinished journey, find Chu Tianjiao.”

……

In the villa area.

Lin Mai looked at the video in front of him, and the expression on the entire car suddenly fell into deep thought.

This time the situation has become slightly tricky.

After all, Masamune Tachibana has hidden himself.

This "hidden" is naturally not for him, who has cameras all over the city, but for Uesugi Ketsu, the other party has completely become an invisible target.

In fact, it can also be deduced through clues.

Masamune Tachibana has nowhere else to go, he only went to the green belt in the mountains in the suburbs.

And in that place, he will go all the way from a highway section to the port of Binhai City, to welcome this Tokyo "judgment," the Spirit Word Erii.

“With Erii, he can change his blood.”

Lin Mai thought to himself.

However, the time should not be so early.

Because everything has not yet unfolded, if Herzog rashly proclaims himself king, he will definitely not choose a location in Binhai City.

Perhaps.

There are still some things hidden behind this matter.

Masamune Tachibana already knows that it is difficult to find traces of Chu Tianjiao in this city, so he let Uesugi Ketsu take over his task so easily.

So as to not only restrain the boss group, but also restrain Uesugi Ketsu, the "strongest emperor."

The only price.

Is the loss of a real identity.

“It's hard to say.”

Lin Mai sighed slightly.

If he were to dispatch so easily, some of the other party's plans have not been completed, and the points he can receive may be greatly reduced.

But if Herzog becomes the White King, the biggest problem he needs to face is whether he can win.

His current strength is only slightly above the Dragon King.

The things he gets from winning are indeed many, not only the complete ideas of the "Path to Godhood" component, but also the point pool that can buy high-end group mall items.

“Then, let's start with the United States.”

Lin Mai murmured to himself.

Summoning Louis from that distant shore.

In this way, as much as possible affecting more people, you can imitate the previous Greenland Ice Sea operation and affect more and larger world lines.

However.

The time isn't right yet, and I'm in a state of absolute idleness.

It seems all that's left for him is anxious waiting.

Just then.

A group chat notification sounded.

[Cosmic Rich Woman is Me]: "@Stormy Overpass, good news!"

[Cosmic Rich Woman is Me]: "Screwllum has finished the experiment and is processing your experimental samples!"

… …

Star Rail World.

Herta Space Station.

"Thank you, Miss Asta. I have successfully extracted what I wanted."

Screwllum bowed deeply to her.

It really didn't know how to thank this Interastral Peace Corporation's young miss, as the benefits she provided were too great.

If it weren't for the decree of King Screwllum, it would really hope to stay at Herta Space Station and serve as an assistant to this true genius.

"This… wait."

Asta, looking at the other party's sincerity, suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly took out a piece of paper from her person.

"This is the gene lock component's experimental report."

"Oh? So fast?"

Screwllum seemed a little shocked.

It was the first time it had seen another experiment completed during its own experiment.

Although it really needed this thing, Miss Asta was too efficient, wasn't her execution a bit too strong?

"It's like this, we really need you to complete this task for us, which is to research another component…"

"Please allow me to do so."

Screwllum stood in awe.

Although it really wanted to return to Screwllum, Asta gave it too much.

So many experimental opportunities, each one being an upper-intermediate difficulty research, it was simply extraordinary, the other party's ideas and inspiration were frighteningly strong, making it admire her.

"Let me see the report first."

Saying that, Screwllum bowed once more and took the report from Asta's hand.

[Experimental Report One: Mechanical Celestial Sovereign.]

[Able to fly, and becomes stronger in the mastery of verbal spirits, the original ability to control rainfall has changed to creating a straight line of water.]

[At the same time, the values in all aspects have been improved, of which durability has been confirmed.]

"… …"

Screwllum put away the yellowed paper.

"Mechanical Celestial Sovereign is?"

Asta seemed a little silent, but quickly replied to the other party's voice: "A friend."

"I see, must also be a great scholar."

Screwllum nodded slightly.

It did not despise any other scholars just because it was a member of the Genius Society.

At least in its eyes, living beings were equal, even carbon-based life and silicon-based life were no different, after all, there were humans with hyperthymesia like machines.

Similarly, there were also machines with emotions like humans.

Stereotypes were not the standard for measuring scholars, moreover, this "friend" was crowned with the name of Celestial Sovereign, which made it even more awe-inspiring.

"Sort of…"

Asta coughed.

Looking at the performance in the group, letting this Maybach do scientific research might not be a bad choice, after all, the other party's logical reasoning has never been wrong.

Before, in the Greenland Ice Sea, all of the other party's actions were not superfluous, completely calculating everyone's activities.

It seemed that in the eyes of this Maybach.

The actions of all characters were inescapable, it was good at finding out the other party's intelligence before launching an attack, everything was safe when not moving, but earth-shattering when moving.

It was because of this characteristic that the other group members never felt that Maybach was weak.

If other group members were to stand in the position of this car, placed in the same situation.

"Not exposing", "Doing more things".

These two lowest standard requirements could expose everyone's flaws.

Maybach came step by step, relying solely on persistence and slavery without the addition of Deep Blue. With this meticulous mind, it was impossible to fall into a lower situation than ordinary people no matter what.

The most likely thing was that the other party did not not know, but just had not temporarily revealed this talent.

[Stormy Overpass]: "Huh?"

[Stormy Overpass]: "@Cosmic Rich Woman is Me, what did the other party say?"

[Cosmic Rich Woman is Me]: "Don't know."

[Cosmic Rich Woman is Me]: "It seems that they are still waiting, the other party is still reviewing your experimental report."

"… …"

"Then I will say it directly, these are not much different from the function of the gene lock component."

"But the object you mentioned can fly…"

Screwllum showed a moment of hesitation.

"If a machine opens the gene lock, then the most likely ability to awaken is only transformation. The so-called flight must also be based on the transformation."

"After all, the implants are different for each person's characteristics. After they come into contact with their master, the release of the gene lock is transformed into the release of their master's potential… If it is really as you said, I would rather believe…"

"This guy is not a machine, but a creation of idealism."

Screwllum sighed.

"Idealism?"

A question mark suddenly popped up on Asta's expression, what creation of idealism, why is it so mysterious.

"Yes, a creation of idealism, therefore the ability that the other party can awaken cannot be estimated."

"But after all, our world is materialistic, so I don't know what the world of idealism is like." Screwllum had already seen through it, that Mechanical Celestial Sovereign was not in the universe they were in: "This is a blue ocean."

"If there is more experimental data in the future, I also suggest you to show it to the other party."

"Maybe at some point, your Mechanical Celestial Sovereign friend can release the technical shackles here and break the shortcut to the Aeon."

Screwllum murmured to itself with emotion.

"This…"

Asta looked shocked.

"Forget it, it seems like I've said a bit too much, it seems a bit sentimental, no need to mind, this is just a small suggestion that I can make. It seems that the gene lock experiment has been completed."

Just then.

A message suddenly appeared on her phone.

[Stelle]: "Not good, not good!"

[Stelle]: "Little rich woman, Sandrone of your Interastral Peace Corporation is dead!"
