"Hehehe...hahaha!"
Lightning threw his head back and laughed until tears came to his eyes.
"Once the Omnipotent King dies, I will be the master of Hero City!"
Lightning stopped laughing. He looked excited and said, "I thought this day would never come, but I didn't expect...it would come so soon!"
He pinched his chin and stared at the corpses of Omni King and Brainstorm, curled his lips and said, "However, I can't be the only superhero in Hero City. I need more subordinates."
Turning around, Lightning left the room and came to the end of the corridor, where a huge oil painting hung, depicting all the superheroes in cool poses with the light of justice behind them.
"I remember it should be here..."
Lightning stretched out his hand and pressed on the "A" on the Omnipotent King's chest in the oil painting. He pressed the "A", and then there was a sound of a mechanism.
The huge oil painting slowly rose, revealing a dark secret passage behind it.
Lightning walked into the passage and stopped in front of a large iron door at the end. Suddenly, the virtual image of an old man in a white coat appeared in front of him.
"Why you? Where's Almighty and Brainstorm?"
The old man in white frowned and stared at Lightning, asking in confusion.
Lightning snorted coldly: "They are all dead, and I am the only one who survived."
"Professor Stan, if you don't want to see the superhero you created disappear, give me control of Hero City!"
Professor Stan was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand... Lightning, from now on, you are the new master of Hero City."
After that, he disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, the heavy iron door slowly opened, revealing a large space inside.
What you see are huge glass covers neatly arranged in the room.
Each glass cover contains a human body soaked in an unknown green liquid. Upon closer inspection, these human bodies look exactly the same.
Almighty King, Brainstorm, Steel Armor, Bear Girl...even Lightning himself is in these glass covers.
Yes, these are clones, and the person who created them is the mysterious scientist named Professor Stan.
Lightning walked to a glass cover and pressed the red button on the operating panel.
Gulu!
The liquid in the glass cover gradually emptied, and the Omnipotent King inside suddenly opened his eyes!
"Omnipotent King, I am daddy. From now on, you must be obedient... Hehe!" Lightning grinned with a sinister look on his face.
…
The 42nd level of the demon realm, the altar.
"What kind of place is this..."
Zhang Feng looked at the scene in front of him and opened his mouth in surprise.
Others were also surprised. In front of them was a straight road, but at the end of the road there were two forked roads to the left and right.
Zhang Ze first looked at the fork on the right, which led to a palace with ancient oriental characteristics. The purple air above the palace was like a fairy palace.
On the left, it leads to a building similar to an ancient Roman temple. The golden light behind the temple shines like heaven.
"What does this level of demonic realm mean?"
The irritable Dragon King was confused and asked: "Are we being asked to make a choice?"
"Obviously, yes." Shan Dao Bu looked around emotionally and said, "If I guess correctly, the palace on the right should represent the east, while the palace on the left represents the west."
Zhang Ze also nodded and said: "That's right, but how do we clear this level of demonic realm? It's impossible to just make a choice and let us clear the level, right?"
The giant god said: "We can't achieve any results by standing here, so why not go over and have a look."
Everyone agreed, and the group walked along the road to the end.
When they came to the fork in the road, they found a large golden sign with a few lines of words on it.
"In order to compete for control of the ocean, the Dragon King of the East and the Sea King of the West went to war. As a mortal, you cannot survive alone."
"Next, you have to make a choice: go left or right."
"On the left is the Dragon King camp from the east. On the right is the Poseidon camp from the west."
"And your choice will determine which side you join."
"After you make a choice, you must help the gods of your own camp to defeat the gods of the enemy camp."
"The winner will receive rewards from his own god and the key to pass the level, while the loser will lose his life."
"The gods will never die, and the spirit will last forever!"
"Mortal, make your choice!"
Everyone was speechless: "..."
"This is a fight between gods!" The irritable Dragon King said with a black line, "Why must we mortals be involved?"
"I think it's normal." Yiye Zhiqiu said with a wry smile: "Whether it is the East or the West, gods generally do not confront each other directly, but rely on mortal wars to decide the outcome."
"For example, in the Romance of the Gods, the battle between Jiejiao and Chanjiao, as well as the Trojan War in which the Olympian gods participated, etc. Mortals are their chess pieces, and war is their game."
Liu Yueying frowned and said, "So, in this demonic realm, we have become pawns of the gods?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Zhang Ze shrugged: "But now we can choose the camp we like. Under normal circumstances, everyone will choose the Eastern Dragon King camp, right? After all, we are all children of Daxia."
Everyone agrees on this. They love their country and culture, and naturally they will not choose the Western camp, let alone help Western gods to deal with their own gods.
In addition, they are generally familiar with the gods in their own culture, making it easier to deal with them.
Moonlight Bunny looked at the temple on the left and said, "I think if foreign adventurers come to this level of demonic realm, they will also choose the western god camp."
"That's for sure." Xiaoniao nodded: "They are just like us, they like their own country and culture, and no one will seek the distance from the near."
Everyone reached an agreement and walked to the fork on the left to go to the Eastern Dragon King.
"Ah, my benefactor!"
As soon as everyone reached the palace gate, a petite figure ran out from inside and jumped into Zhang Ze's arms.
"Are you...Dragon Girl?"
Zhang Ze looked down at the visitor and was surprised to find that she was the little dragon girl who was kidnapped by the Jinghe Dragon King in the 27th level of the Demon Realm.
"Yeah, my benefactor still remembers me, I'm so happy!" Dragon Girl suddenly blushed on her pretty face.
Zhang Ze also smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The dragon girl explained: "My father and three uncles are studying how to deal with the Western Sea King. Naturally, we children will also come to help."
She hugged Zhang Ze's waist affectionately and said with a smile: "Hehe, I knew that my benefactor would definitely be on our side."
"Cough cough cough!" Liu Yueying coughed deliberately on the side with a cold face. Zhang Ze immediately pushed the dragon girl out of his arms and said awkwardly: "Well, you can lead the way for us."
"OK."
Dragon Girl nodded and walked into the palace with Zhang Ze, Giant God and others.
At this time, the hall was full of people...no, it was all kinds of sea creatures.
They surrounded four men wearing war robes with dragon heads and bodies, and they followed orders with respectful expressions.
"Father, my benefactor has come to give us a helping hand!"
Dragon Girl shouted from a distance, and everyone in the hall turned to look over.
"A mortal?"
"Hmph, how can a mere mortal defeat a god?"
“And the quantity is so small, it’s useless!”
…
Those shrimp soldiers, crab generals, fish governors and turtle commanders were full of contempt and looked down on Zhang Ze and others at all.
"Don't be rude to your guests!" A dragon king wearing golden armor and carrying a golden sword on his waist separated from the crowd and walked towards Zhang Ze, saying: "Daughter, who is your benefactor? I want to thank you in person!"
After Long Nu’s introduction, he turned his attention to Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze was also sizing him up: "Dragon King of the East China Sea...well, he is much tougher than the image in the TV series."
"He is indeed a hero!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea nodded, and said to Zhang Ze: "Thank you to this hero for saving my little girl. If you have any requests, just ask! I have countless treasures in the Dragon Palace, and I will definitely meet your requests."
Before Zhang Ze could speak, the Dragon King behind him asked: "Do you have the Dinghai Divine Needle?"
"Ah?" The Dragon King of the East China Sea was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The sacred needle has been snatched by the Great Sage... Borrow it, I don't have another one here."
The giant god pulled the Dragon King aside, and Zhang Ze smiled and said: "My friend is joking, the Dragon King does not need to take it seriously."
The Dragon Girl whispered in the ear of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King pondered for a moment and said: "My little girl said that you all want to help me, the Eastern Sea Clan, defeat the Western Sea Clan. I am deeply grateful. However, the Western Sea Clan is very powerful, and I am worried about your safety. "
Zhang Ze could see that the Dragon King of the East China Sea really cared about them and nodded secretly: "It seems that our choice is not wrong. The Eastern God still has some conscience."
However, if you want to pass the level, you must help the Dragon King of East China Sea defeat his opponent, so Zhang Ze patted his chest and said obligingly: "Don't worry, Dragon King. Although we are mortals, we still have some abilities and can protect ourselves."
"this……"
The Dragon King of the East China Sea was still a little hesitant. After all, Zhang Ze was his daughter's savior. He didn't want Zhang Ze to die in the hands of the Western Sea Clan.
At this time, the other three Dragon Kings also came forward, and the Dragon King of East China Sea discussed in a low voice with the three brothers.
After a while, the four dragon kings finished their discussion, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea said: "Since the hero is willing to help us, the Donghai Clan, I will not refuse. Now, my second brother, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, will explain to you the relationship between the Western Sea Clan and Next battle plan.”
Behind him, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, dressed in fiery red armor, made a "please" gesture to Zhang Ze and others, saying: "Everyone, please come to the sand table."
Zhang Ze and others followed the Dragon King of the South China Sea to the sand table. They saw seven stone towers and models of a temple standing on it. They didn't know what they represented.
"The Western Sea Clan controls seven oceans. The sea area is very vast. A high tower is built under each ocean to guard it. It has the same effect as the Dinghai Divine Needle."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea pointed to the seven stone towers and introduced them one by one: "These seven towers guard the North Pacific, the South Pacific, the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Antarctic Ocean respectively. There is also a sea tribe general under each tower. In guardianship, he is very powerful and extremely difficult to deal with."
"The last temple is where Poseidon, the King of the Sea, is located. He is one of the main gods of the West and has super powerful powers. The four of us once joined forces to fight against him, but in the end we only ended up with a tie."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea shook his head slightly and sighed: "The power of the Western gods is far beyond our imagination, so please don't take it lightly."
Zhang Ze nodded and asked: "So, four Dragon Kings, what do you need from us?"
The Dragon King of Beihai said: "The four of us will lead the army to attack the seven towers in sequence. All you need to do is assist us."
Little Princess Qian looked confused and asked: "Don't you understand the principle of capturing the thief first? Why don't you directly attack the temple where Poseidon is? If you deal with him, won't you win this war?"
"This girl is too naive." The Dragon King of the West Sea shook his head helplessly and said, "Poseidon has set up a protective barrier outside his temple. Only by destroying all seven towers can we attack it."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!" The furious Dragon King geared up.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, heroes. Before going to battle, the four of us will give each of you a piece of divine power to protect your safety."
After saying that, the four Dragon Kings stood in a row, and the Dragon King of East China Sea said: "Because you are mortals, you can only get a share of divine power from us. Whoever you want has divine power, just go to whoever you want."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon discovered that a line of prompts appeared above the heads of the four Dragon Kings in the field of vision.
【Dragon King of the East China Sea】
Passive: Attack has water attribute, damage +100%, poison resistance +100%
Active: Summon a water dragon to assist in combat, with 1 million HP.
【Dragon King of South China Sea】
Passive: Attack has fire attribute, damage +100%, fire resistance +100%.
Active: Summon a fire dragon to assist in combat, with 1 million HP.
【Dragon King of the West Sea】
Passive: Attack has wind attribute, damage +100%, speed +100%.
Active: Summon a wind dragon to assist in combat, with 1 million HP.
【North Sea Dragon King】
Passive: Attack has ice attribute, damage +100%, freezing effect +100%.
Active: Summon an ice dragon to assist in combat, with 1 million HP.
…
"Looking at it this way, the four dragon kings in the southeast, northwest and northwest correspond to the four attributes of water, fire, wind and ice..." Zhang Ze held his chin and thought: "Then which one should I choose?"
Others were also thinking about this issue, but Yiye Zhiqiu didn't need to think too much. He walked directly in front of the Dragon King of the North Sea, cupped his hands and said: "Dragon King of the North Sea, please grant me divine power."
"Okay!" The Dragon King of the North Sea stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have long seen that there is cold energy in your body. You and I are of the same kind, hahaha!"
After laughing, he raised his hand and touched Yiye Zhiqiu's forehead, and suddenly a snowflake mark appeared on Yiye Zhiqiu's forehead.
At the same time, Yiye Zhiqiu also discovered that he had an additional state.
【North Sea Divine Power】
Grade 1
Effect 1: The attack has ice properties, damage +100%, freezing effect +100%.
Effect 2: Summon an ice dragon to assist in combat, with 100,000 HP.
"My own ice attribute is very high. If I add the magical power of Snow Girl and North Sea Dragon King, my [Ice Wind and Rain] will definitely become very powerful!" Yiye Zhiqiu looked forward to it.
At this time, Zhang Ze also made a choice, and he strode towards the four dragon kings...
