Electromagnetic Tyrant

The Sun King was in a trance for a moment before he calmed down. He looked from the presidential palace in the distance back to the hall and saw the traces of destruction he had caused.

"Someone is coming."

Anthony shouted.

A female secretary immediately came in from outside.

She was a "Flying Step" alien, she ran very fast but made no sound, and she maintained her elegant dress, outstanding appearance, and capable temperament. She smiled respectfully at the Sun King: "Mr. President!"

The Sun King did not hold any official position in the American Commonwealth, nor was he affiliated with the military, but he held many titles.

For example, the honorary president of the American Superhuman Association, the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Supernatural Affairs, the president of the New Empire State Building Group, etc.

There are different honorifics in different occasions.

Anthony likes to be called "President" in private, which is different from the previous two Sun Kings.

"Irina, clean up this place," Anthony said.

"Yes."

Irina waved outside the door, and a team of alien cleaners came in quickly with tools. They cleaned up the garbage, repaired the floor and walls in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they did the same thing every day.

The Sun King walked to the large desk and sat down. He didn't even look at the cleaners, as if they were air. He asked, "Irina, are there any new changes in online public opinion?"

Irina's face froze.

Then he replied cautiously: "CEO, I have asked the government to control public opinion, and all domestic mainstream media have also informed them to pay attention to their position and minimize the negative impact."

"What about abroad?" asked the Sun King again.

"In the Western Alliance and half of South America, the doubts have been suppressed. As for other countries..." Irina looked embarrassed and did not continue.

"Humph."

The Sun King's eyes were gloomy.

Needless to say, public opinion in other countries was very unfavorable to him, but the American Federation could not control it and it was beyond Irina's ability.

Not to mention Irina, even if the President of the United States intervened, it would be useless.

Now it is not a question of public opinion and propaganda.

Ever since Ji Xinghuo took away the first place in the global combat power list and South Asia was incorporated into the Asia-Pacific Community, and until today, his clone was blown up by Ji Xinghuo with a punch, and he still didn't dare to fight back, after a series of blows, many countries on the earth believed that the United States was doomed, and even took sides and directly turned to the Asia-Pacific Community.

His image has been completely ruined!

"Mr. President."

Irina chose her words carefully: "I have discussed this with several experts from the think tank and believe that you need to respond forcefully to Ji Xinghuo's provocation in order to restore some of your personal image."

"How to respond?" The Sun King raised his eyebrows.

"You don't have to fight Ji Xinghuo's real body, kill his clone, film it, edit it and publish it to break his undefeated image." Irina said.

The Sun King stroked his chin and considered it seriously.

Finally, he shook his head: "This is difficult to do."

Irina was puzzled.

"You have never fought Ji Xinghuo in person, and you are just a super alien, so you don't know his current strength." A gloomy look flashed in the Sun King's eyes, "Even if it is just a clone, it will be difficult to defeat."

Irina's face was full of horror.

As one of the Sun King's closest assistants and lovers, and a key member of his think tank, she had access to a lot of confidential information.

Over the past few months, the United States' intelligence department has been collecting and analyzing information about Ji Xinghuo.

It has been confirmed that Ji Xinghuo's clones are shadow clones!

There are sixteen in total.

If it is difficult to defeat even one shadow clone, then it would be even more impossible to kill Ji Xinghuo if sixteen shadow clones joined forces!

Before this, she had absolute confidence in the Sun King. Although she had doubted why the Sun King did not accept the challenge and found various excuses for him, it was not until now that she realized that the truth was so cruel.

The Sun King’s strength is really not as good as Ji Xinghuo’s, he is really scared.

Irina was disappointed.

She concealed her true thoughts very well and did not reveal a single bit in front of the Sun King.

Anthony didn't notice his secretary's thoughts and continued, "He can shift between his shadow clones. During a battle, the shadow clones can transform into the real body at any time, but there should be a distance limit."

He looked at Irina and said, "Have someone retrieve the movement trajectories of each of Ji Xinghuo's shadow clones, analyze the data, and calculate the distance of the teleportation."

"Yes, President."

Irina retreated tactfully.

While the two were talking, several cleaners had already cleaned the hall and restored it to its original state, even placing the decorative ornaments exactly the same.

When everyone left, the Sun King was the only one left.

He sat there in a daze for a while, tapped the table lightly, and a huge projection screen rose up in front of him. He went online and browsed the hot news on various social platforms. The popularity of domestic websites had subsided, and the main content was about South Asia.

But when you go to the Internet, you will see that photo everywhere: in the sky, a dazzling lightning trailed behind Ji Xinghuo, and he punched a cloud of blood mist, which could barely be seen as a human figure. The national flag cloak in the blood mist was extremely eye-catching.

The Union Jack cloak is almost the unique symbol of the Sun King.

There are more photos later.

The scene of the two confronting each other in Asuncion, the high-speed chase before the explosion, the torn cloak, Ji Xinghuo standing in the air, majestic...

The Sun King placed one hand on his lips, trying hard not to lose control of his emotions. His eyes were as gloomy as water as he quickly scanned the editorials of many major media outlets around the world, as well as the comments of countless netizens, which were almost all one-sided ridicule.

"Turtle King" appears most frequently.

Every time he saw this word, the Sun King's eyelids would twitch and the muscles on his face would twitch slightly.

But he couldn't help but keep checking, wanting to know if anyone would come to his defense.

Indeed there is.

However, it is very rare and the proportion is so low that it can be ignored.

"idiot!"

"Humans are a bunch of stupid, inferior creatures!" The Sun King finally couldn't hold back anymore and cursed, "That's just a clone of mine, and it's not fully mature, it doesn't represent the strength of the original body!"

His eyes lit up like lasers, and he subconsciously wanted to destroy the office to vent his anger, but he remembered that the office had just been repaired, so he held back.

"call……"

The Sun King stood up angrily.

After a long while, he took dozens of deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down, but his face still looked bad.

"Ji Xinghuo."

"Ji Xinghuo..."

The Sun King whispered the name over and over again, looking up at the eastern sky. It was dawn in North America, and a ray of sunlight shone into the new Empire State Building, making him feel a little dazzling.

But what the Sun King didn't know was...

At this moment, Ji Xinghuo was in space more than 4,000 kilometers away, watching his every move and hearing his every word.

"baffling."

Ji Xinghuo found it a little ridiculous to hear the Sun King calling him all the time with a gritting teeth look on his face.

It's like impotent rage.

He didn't know what the previous two generations of Sun Kings had suspected in private, but the personality of this generation of Sun King, Anthony John, was very different from his public image. He was like an arrogant, sensitive and cowardly giant baby.

I really don’t know how the previous Sun King chose him to succeed the Sun King?

However, Ji Xinghuo did not underestimate the other party.

Judging from the conversation between the Sun King and Irina, as well as his reaction when alone, he obviously has another plan.

Ji Xinghuo continued to watch.

At this time, the Sun King entered the elevator and went underground.

In addition to being more than 2000 meters high above ground, the new Empire State Building is also more than 300 meters underground. It is built into a huge underground space divided into dozens of floors. It has a small nuclear power plant to provide energy for the entire building and support a superconducting shield array that can withstand nuclear explosions.

From the -20th floor downwards is the Sun King's true secret kingdom, which only he can enter.

Because it was deep underground, Ji Xinghuo’s macroscopic sky eye could not see through it completely.

If he did not possess the "Xukun Juming" that could see through the void, many physical obstacles would block his macroscopic heavenly eye.

On Earth, space barriers are more difficult to penetrate.

Ji Xinghuo had to concentrate and focus on the basement of the New Empire State Building so that his macroscopic eye could barely see the interior and emerge with the spatial layout and the outlines of the characters.

The Sun King took the elevator down to the -40th floor, the deepest floor.

He walked alone in the corridor, input the password and facial recognition, passed through a series of heavy metal gates, and finally arrived at an enclosed hall with an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, like a laboratory.

"This must be the secret of the Sun King!"

Ji Xinghuo perked up.

The macroscopic eye swept across the entire secret room and immediately discovered something unusual.

First, there were rows and rows of shelves that occupied most of the space. There were hundreds of them, and each shelf was seven or eight meters high and divided into twenty layers. Each layer was filled with ether crystals, stacked like gold, and shining with energy.

"So many ether crystals..."

Ji Xinghuo was shocked and roughly estimated that the total number of ether crystals here was more than 200 million.

And more than half of the shelves were empty.

If they are all filled, the total number should be over 500 million!

"Where did he get such a huge fortune?"

Ji Xinghuo's eyes were solemn. The Sun King possessed extraordinary power and status in the American Federation, but he was only one person and could not control all the power and wealth. The real rulers behind the scenes were the dozen or so financial groups.

Even if all the wealth of the American Federation was given to the Sun King, with Earth's power and channels in the astral realm, it could not be exchanged for ether crystals.

The Sun King must have a close connection with a certain force in the astral world!

Ji Xinghuo didn’t think too much about it for the time being.

Because, besides the Sun King himself, there are three other people in this secret room.

However, they all looked exactly like the Sun King, had the same body shape, and wore the same battle clothes. They were the Sun King's clones. The three clones were each lying on a platform like an operating table, with their eyes closed, as if they were sleeping.

There are four platforms in total, one of which is empty.

Four platforms surround a machine in the middle, which occupies more than a dozen square meters and is several meters high. It looks very heavy. The outer shell is made of a combination of metal and some biological material, and is connected to the four surrounding platforms through pipes.

There is an energy tube connected to the bottom of the machine, which is powered by the building's small nuclear power plant. The shelves in the secret room are also part of it.

It draws energy from the etheric crystal and transmits it to the clone on the platform.

The Sun King walked over to the machine.

A flesh-like panel rose up, and he operated on it for a few times. Then he turned to the empty platform and cut the blood vessels on his arm. Blood flowed out and fell into the groove in the center of the platform.

After about a liter of blood was lost, the Sun King stopped and the wound healed.

hum...

This huge machine runs at high power, drawing electricity and the energy of the etheric crystals and injecting them into the platform.

Suddenly, the blood on the groove began to wriggle, twist and deform, like a living thing, as if something was about to break out of it. A few minutes later, as the blood faded, a baby boy with a human form appeared on the platform.

On the shelf nearby, more than 50,000 ether crystals turned to stone.

When Ji Xinghuo saw this scene, he immediately guessed that this should be a kind of cloning technology, which was far beyond the technological level of the Earth.

The babies on the platform grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, he grew into an adult.

His appearance and figure are exactly the same as the Sun King, but this is probably just a shell that is still absorbing energy and increasing its strength.

The other three clones that had been created previously were obviously stronger.

"I wonder how much combat power the main body can achieve in the end?"

Ji Xinghuo's gaze fell on the machine, and his macroscopic eye observed it attentively. After a few seconds, the interface information popped up in front of him.

[Treasure: Blood Covenant Cloning Station]

[Grade: Apocalypse Four Stars]

[Function: Uses own genes and energy to create clones. When fully mature, they can reach 100% of the original body's strength, possessing superpowers and star power. The upper limit is four. This is a product of the Pan-Human Interstellar Alliance.]

After reading the message, Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but be shocked.

The treasure of the Four Stars of Apocalypse!

The value of Apocalypse-level weapons, equipment, and treasures increases exponentially with each star level increase.

One-star and two-star stars can be bought with ether crystals in places where resources are concentrated and there are many strong people. Three-star stars of Apocalypse are hard to come by, enough to be the treasure of a race. And four-star stars of Apocalypse are basically only in the hands of the Star Shepherd Saints.

Although this blood covenant cloning platform is large and inconvenient to carry, it cannot directly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Inhumans.

However, the clones it created were so powerful!

Possesses 100% of the main body's combat power.

There is also another limitation: the stronger the original body is, the more energy the clone needs to reach its full strength.

The Sun King is extremely powerful, so it takes a huge amount of energy for his clones to fully mature. All the ether crystals in the secret room are prepared for the four clones, and it will take a long time for them to mature.

The Blood Pact Cloning Station has another drawback.

If it is destroyed, all clones will die simultaneously.

"In this case……"

Ji Xinghuo thought thoughtfully that if he could destroy this Blood Covenant Cloning Station when fighting against the Sun King in the future, it would be a decisive blow.

He was still thinking about how to deal with the enemy, but he saw the Sun King standing in front of the newly formed clone. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly took off his battle suit, and the three clones next to him also climbed up from the platform.

"Fuck!" Ji Xinghuo's eyes almost popped out.
