Chapter 730: smart core ai 2.0

"Francis?"

Mr. Duan looked at the golden phantom in mid-air condensed from the sacred Law, raising an eyebrow.

He blinked.

This old fox, who had always cowered in the holy city and turned a blind eye to external changes, had actually popped up at this time and even dared to openly stand on the opposite side of him.

A smile hung on Francis's face, and his golden robe was terribly glaring against the backdrop of volcanic ash.

He sighed, "Your Excellency Duan, your actions are too fast, so fast that they have pushed this world to the brink of collapse.

For the citizens of the Free Federation, for the survival of all living beings under heaven, I have no choice but to choose a side at this time.

I cannot just watch you swallow all the Laws."

"For the citizens of the Free Federation?"

Hearing the most laughable joke in this world, Mr. Duan scoffed and curled his lips.

"Stop trying to make me laugh."

Mr. Duan stared at Francis.

He saw through the decay and sin hidden beneath this youthful shell.

"To be able to recover to your current youthful state, you must have sacrificed quite a number of people, right?"

Mr. Duan put his hands back into the pockets of his windbreaker and looked straight at the other party, "Let me guess.

Those civilians in Losga City and Newt City who evaporated overnight?

One million? Or two million?"

The corner of Francis's eye twitched, but the smile on his face still did not fade.

"You talk so nicely, full of righteousness and morality.

In the end, you are merely doing this so that your nearly rotting bones can continue to gasp for breath."

Mr. Duan raised his chin, "Originally, considering that you were already close to death and only had a breath left hanging, I wasn't in a hurry to make a move against you.

I wanted to let you fend for yourself in this great purge.

I didn't expect that now you would actively run out to seek death!"

Francis, whose disguise had been completely torn off, no longer continued to argue and said, "Words are useless.

Success makes a king and failure makes a bandit; history is always written by the victors.

Today, together with Your Excellency Chaidamen, I will deal with you and completely uproot you, this tumor plaguing the present world!"

"Just relying on the two of you?"

Mr. Duan sneered, and his High-Dimensional pressure spread outward like a tsunami, "Do you really think two Peak SSS-ranks can contend with me?

You completely don't understand what a Transcendent means!"

However, just as Mr. Duan's voice fell,

"Rumble——!"

A burst of thunder sounded in the sky.

Above the Old Days Mountains, which had been completely obscured by volcanic black smoke, a black breach was forcibly torn open.

Countless thick, deep-purple thunders shuttled and intertwined in the clouds, forming a web of electricity sufficient to destroy heaven and earth.

That will of heaven, which represented the most fundamental logic of the world and vowed to obliterate all variables, locked the spearhead of destruction onto Mr. Duan in mid-air.

Mr. Duan restrained his smile.

The surrounding space was forcibly reinforced by the Heavenly Dao Laws, and his annihilation power was suppressed.

Chaidamen's hundred-foot-tall flame body rolled violently in the sea of magma, and he laughed heartily, his laughter shattering the volcanic ash filling the sky, "How gratifying!

Duan! I didn't expect that even the will of heaven would choose to help us at this time!

Now, do you still think we cannot contend with you?!"

Meanwhile.

Great Xia Country, Donghai City.

The night was deep and all was silent.

Only the underground base of the Eternal Night Guild remained brightly lit.

The long mahogany dining table was a mess of cups and plates.

On the tabletop, which had displayed as many as a hundred exquisite dishes, not a single drop of soup was left. There were no other guests at the table; only Chun, transformed into a human form, sat alone at the table.

She picked up a snow-white tissue, wiped her oil-stained mouth, and nodded toward Zhou Huai, who was standing not far away.

"Thank you for the hospitality."

Afterwards, Chun looked at the empty plates and gave unsparing praise to the food, "It seems that your present world is not so completely worthless after all.

At least it is very rich in the types of food, and the taste is also very delicious.

It is much more interesting than us gnawing on those dry spiritual fruits in ancient times."

Zhou Huai leaned against the sofa, looking at the swept-clean tabletop, and muttered inwardly, "She sure can eat…",

He couldn't help but glance at the other party's abdomen, which was still as flat as ever.

That was an amount of food sufficient to stuff several hundred strong men; those whole roasted lambs, deep-sea demon whale meat, and high-tier exotic beast ribs totaled several tons!

He didn't know where all that food went after eating so much.

Chun caught Zhou Huai's gaze, saw through his thoughts, and chuckled.

"Stop looking, these foods are not stored in my stomach."

Chun stretched out a slender finger and pointed at her own abdomen, "Our digestive System is different from you humans.

As soon as these foods enter my body, they will be decomposed and converted into nutrients for me to repair the vitality of my main body."

She stood up, stretched, and continued, "Alright, this table is finished, you can arrange the next table.

But this time, try to serve some fresh vegetables and spiritual plants; I'm tired of eating those big fish and large chunks of meat, I need to neutralize it."

Zhou Huai rubbed his temples and turned to wave at Jasmine, who was waiting aside.

Jasmine understood tacitly and turned to go to the logistics warehouse to arrange new ingredients.

Actually, Zhou Huai was rubbing his hands constantly right now; originally he was prepared to set off overnight for Sakura Country.

After all, current Sakura Country, under the bloody suppression of Insect Emperor Caesar, could already be completely regarded by Zhou Huai as his own back garden and exclusive resource base.

But just a few hours ago, the Divine Dynasty Puppet regime sent back emergency intelligence: right now, outside the Ise Grand Shrine, strange phenomena occurred repeatedly, the sky split open, the earth collapsed, and the energy fluctuations of that ancient ruin's revival were becoming increasingly violent.

If mishandled, chances were the entire Tokyo City would be completely destroyed by that power.

The Divine Dynasty that he had just established with great difficulty would also go down the drain along with it; not only would he lose a stable channel for gathering Divine Artifacts and experience, but it would also disrupt all his strategic deployments.

This was not what he wanted to see.

Blame this woman named Chun!

She just had to use the excuse of supplementing her Origin power at this critical juncture to wildly taste the world's delicacies, forcibly delaying several hours of his precious time.

However, since they were here, they might as well make themselves at home. Zhou Huai also just took advantage of these few hours of leisure to carefully study the Heaven-Defying divine skill he had just learned—Ten Thousand Aspects into One.

Previously in the Simon City Ruins, he originally thought that after his Clone fused with himself, it was equivalent to completely dissolving into the main body, unable to restore into the previous appearance of independent individuals.

Now, after several repeated tests, it seemed that he had been too narrow-minded.

The wondrousness of the High-Dimensional Law far exceeded his imagination.

With just a thought from him, the power fused into his body would quickly strip away.

His Clone could still fly out from his body as smooth as silk, re-condensing into a physical entity with independent panels and skills.

In this way, he could still, just like before, hide behind the scenes and control the Clone to handle affairs and investigate intelligence around the world.

So as not to have to do everything personally in the future; doing that would definitely exhaust him to death.

Just as Zhou Huai was inwardly sighing at the practicality of this skill,

"Ding——!"

A crisp and mechanical System prompt tone sounded without warning deep within Zhou Huai's mind.
