now.
In the magnificent hall.
An elderly Otsutsuki scholar was pointing at a new type of ten-tailed cub behind him, which was locked in a glass box.
He was very excited and kept explaining:
"Everyone, please take a look, this is our newly researched [Sacred Tree Seedling]."
"A certain amount of divine genes have been edited into its body."
"We will no longer self-destruct due to genetic conflict."
"In other words, when planting sacred trees in the future: there will be no need to sacrifice tribesmen or artificially inject divine genes..."
"In this way, it can not only simplify the steps of cultivating the sacred tree; it can also save the loss of the tribe; it can also improve the quality of the fruits condensed by the sacred tree..."
"Achieving three birds with one stone is a qualitative leap!"
"As long as all existing seedlings are replaced with this new variety, the efficiency and success rate of sacred tree planting will be greatly improved!"
"This is definitely a great breakthrough!"
"..."
Outside the glass box.
A noble Otsutsuki tribesman looked at this new type of ten-tailed cub and listened to the scholar's explanation.
They couldn't help but look happy and secretly looking forward to it.
After all, the 'Sacred Tree Looting System' is the foundation of the Otsutsuki clan.
There is no [Chakra Fruit] plundered and drained from planets.
The people of the Otsutsuki tribe simply cannot obtain such powerful power and long lifespan.
No one will remain indifferent when it comes to their own fundamental interests.
All showed great interest.
…
And just then.
Bang bang bang——
A series of crisp applause sounded.
Everyone looked at the sound and found the Lord of Egret City in black attire.
But he didn't know when he had appeared in the hall.
"I've met the Lord of the City!"
All the Otsutsuki nobles in the city, including Otsutsuki members from the outside world, all greeted him respectfully.
This is a tribute to the [demigod]; it is also a recognition of the authority of this city lord.
Here, in [Dragon Palace City].
The power and prestige of this city lord is indeed astonishing.
"A new type of sacred tree seedling?"
"It's really an excellent improvement."
"You scholars have not wasted resources, and you have indeed achieved remarkable results..."
The Lord of Egret City had a gentle smile and praised him very approvingly.
"Thank you City Lord for your compliment."
The leading scholar Otsutsuki was also secretly happy and quickly thanked him.
It is naturally a good thing for those who are engaged in research to get support from those in power.
What's more, without the strong support of this Lord of the City over the years, [The Divine Research Institute] would not have been able to develop so prosperously.
To be fair, they still like this [Egret City Lord] very much.
…
Immediately afterwards.
The Lord of Egret City looked around and asked with a smile again:
"Isn't the big shot from my family here yet?"
Three months have passed.
[Dragon Palace City] is not blind here.
The news that an elder from the clan secretly visited [Dragon Palace City] has spread throughout the city.
Now, all over the city.
They were all extremely curious about the elder from this family.
no way.
That is a big shot who can decide the future of [Dragon Palace City]!
"That adult should be arriving soon..."
A big noble in the city responded hesitantly.
Be honest, despite all you hear.
But in fact, they know almost nothing about the whereabouts of the mysterious boss...
The more mysterious the other party is.
It makes them more frightened and uneasy.
"Yeah?"
"Then just wait."
"Let's continue when people arrive."
"Do you have any opinions?"
The Lord of Egret City spoke and proposed to everyone in the hall.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this gentleman meant.
But still no one dared to refute.
They all waited silently.
…
Time gradually passed, and the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn.
Many nobles in [Dragon Palace City] are also becoming more and more panicked.
Just when someone couldn't hold it any longer.
Finally, the mysterious elder entered the scene.
The main entrance of the main hall.
Natsume, who was invited to the throne, was holding his hands behind his back, his posture was proud and very domineering.
It floated all the way into the hall.
Wherever you go.
Many dignitaries in the hall gave in one after another.
Of course, there are also several people with high status and great courage.
He quickly came up to say hello, with a flattering look on his face.
pity.
But he was directly blasted away by the chakra flow released by Natsume.
Obviously, Natsume is in no mood to chat with these guys...
Never took them seriously.
I am here to kill people today!
I came here to fight a demigod!
I'm not here to hang out with these useless rich and powerful people and drink and have fun.
What's more, the only thing these powerful people can influence is this [Dragon Palace City];
It's not worth getting to know the dignified master at all.
As for whether such a arrogant and rude attitude will cause these guys to hold grudges.
Natsume said: He doesn't care at all.
What is identity?
What is power?
In a narrow sense:
Identity means that others have to be afraid of you.
Power is your word, which can affect the destiny and future of many people.
And as the elder of my family, I am at the pinnacle of power.
Natsume only needs one sentence to influence the entire [Elder Group]'s opinion of [The Divine Research Institute]'s new achievements.
It can determine the future research methods of a large number of Otsutsuki scholars.
It can affect the future of countless people in [Dragon Palace City]...
This is the weight of the elders in this family and the reason why these people are so well-behaved in front of Natsume.
Moreover, even leaving aside identity and power.
With force alone, Natsume can make most of the people here shut their mouths quietly.
…
Natsume flew to the center of the hall and landed steadily.
He looked into the eyes of the Egret City Lord.
"Sir Elder, you are late..."
"Is it too late? Don't I have the final say on when to start?"
"That's right, it's really you who has the final say."
"It seems like you're ready?"
"It doesn't count. However, the condition is indeed better than last time; and I have to thank the Japanese adults for their indulgence."
The Lord of Egret City smiled and said gratefully.
As for the conversation between the two, everyone was confused and confused.
I don’t know what these two big guys are talking about.
"So, it's time to start?"
Natsume asked proactively.
Anyway, with both parties knowing, the so-called assassination is meaningless.
In the final analysis, you still have to rely on hard power to fight.
"Can you wait a moment? Before we start, I have to take care of a little something."
"how long it takes?"
"soon."
"You can do it yourself."
Natsume said casually.
I have been waiting for three months, and I don’t care about such a short time.
"Thank you for your understanding."
The Lord of Egret City bowed gracefully and slightly to express his gratitude.
then.
Under the confused gazes of everyone, he suddenly clapped his hands.
Bang bang bang——
Three crisp slaps sounded.
next moment.
The surrounding space suddenly shook, and a powerful sense of oppression suddenly appeared.
A three-layer super composite barrier suddenly rose from outside the palace.
The first floor blocks the space, restricting the ability to move in most spaces.
One layer suppresses chakra, weakening the power of most ninjutsu and pupil techniques.
The final layer of isolation makes it difficult for people inside the barrier to escape.
that's all.
Three layers of barriers sealed the entire hall on the spot.
Faced with such a sudden change.
Natsume didn't panic at all.
Although these barriers look very fierce, in the final analysis they can only affect those under [demigods].
For Natsume.
Once the [Semi-artifact] magic sword is released, a barrier of this level may not even be able to block it...
Besides, he also saw it.
These enchantments are not directed at oneself...
But it was aimed at other people in the hall.
as expected.
The next second did not wait for the nobles in the hall to react.
Countless [Dragon Palace City] soldiers poured in from the edge of the barrier, gripping their weapons tightly, and shot a large number of sharp arrows contaminated with ghosts.
He began to kill everyone in the palace indiscriminately.
It was obvious that a group of dignitaries and scholars gathered in the palace.
This is the goal of [Egret City Lord]!
This is what he calls 'dessert before the meal'.
…
