— Chapter 353 —
“The Abyssal Ant has been eliminated.” Cloudy’s voice reverberated in the monitor room.
David smiled and approached the microphone before him, “Good job, Kaina, Sieg.”
“After cleaning the seashore for potential leaking of the enemy’s attack, I want you two to return to the base immediately. We shall wait for the Sun and Moon Empire’s reaction to their current loss and then attack the 1st base with further planning with other commanders.”
“On it/Roger!” Kaina and Sieg replied at the same time.
The Meta-Human and Dragon-Influenced Homunculus cleaned the battlefield with their remaining energy, burning any waste from the abyssal beast’s attack.
Despite not being able to clone themselves anymore, Abyssal Ants are still dangerous for civilians without Soul Power. Even though Kaina only fought them for half an hour, she roughly estimated Abyssal Ants’ strengths to be close or equal to Level 97 Hyper Douluo.
Sieg had been in a deep trance since listening to Yunlong’s advice and mindlessly looked at the greatsword in his hand. Even though his body instinctively slayed the remaining Abyssal Ants, his mind wondered how Yunlong could pinpoint his weakness in a brief moment. It amazes him even more, respecting Yunlong to a higher level.
“I could become stronger…” Sieg had a goofy smile, which made Kaina frown because the homunculus began to laugh like a madman on the battlefield.
Kaina sighed and groaned in defeat, “Oh god, why are people around me not normal.”
Back in the monitor room, everyone stared at Yunlong and waited for him to utter other words after giving Sieg’s advice. David casually turned his seat around and gazed at the formerly young man with a fascinated gaze.
‘He has grown quite a lot. I wonder if he still remembers his promise to Melissa when they were young.’ He thought while shaking his head.
Yunlong created a white chair out of nowhere and commented, “You look healthy, Uncle David. Have you been doing skincare lately?”
“Something like that, haha,” David replied with a chuckle. Even though he couldn’t reach the Title Douluo Realm like other commanders, his strength solely focused on inventing stuff.
[Name: David Shield]
[Age: 49]
[Race: Human]
[Cultivation: Level 90/Soul Douluo]
[Martial Soul: Thousand-Armed Puppet]
[Spirit Souls: Human-Faced Spider Emperor, Mineral Beast, Crimson-Eyed Vajra Dragon]
[Quirk: Squirmy Fingers]
[Description: The Head Department of the Weapon-Inventing Division and people called him the “Weapon Maniac.” after killing ten 100.000 years old oceanic spirit beasts with a pure explosion]
Yunlong briefly read the description given by the AI Cloudy’s processor ring and chuckled helplessly. To reach peak Soul Douluo Realm in just three years isn’t an easy achievement because, with this era’s standard, that would be ridiculous.
“I heard Bright Spirit Empire is using Sunset Forest’s core area to be a nuclear reactor plant, but the radiation enriches the area and makes the surrounding plant mutate.” He said, to which David Shield responded with a nod.
“That place is one of Bright Spirit Empire’s best resources. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well’s essence was beneficial for hastening the rare herb’s growth, and the spirit beast from Star Dou Forest also could strengthen their bloodline there.” David answered while fixing his glasses.
“Still, without Dugu Bo’s help to process the herb, we wouldn’t be able to grow this quickly in strength.”
“Not to mention Gu Yuena’s intervention to calm Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s essences makes things easier for us. She was shocked, knowing two dragon kings fell into the Douluo Continent.”
“Dugu Bo, huh?” Yunlong felt somewhat nostalgic because he hadn’t seen Poison Douluo for nine years. That man’s contribution to the Bright Spirit Empire is enough to make Dugu Clan prosper for a few hundred years, but they are sadly still at cold war with the Sun and Moon Empire.
Well, not a cold war anymore.
They destroyed the Sun and Moon Empire’s bases and prevented their ambush with only two people. And those facts should be enough to make the person behind the Sun and Moon Empire wary.
“I’ll visit the Poison Douluo later. Since you guys were about to hold another meeting, let’s talk on the way there.” He continued while glancing at Kyudai Garaki. He observed the newly-developed female homunculus and smirked inside because the mad scientist had created good assets for the empire.
“Kyudai, follow us.”
“Right away, Master!” Kyudai jumped off his seat and followed Yunlong to the meeting room.
David grabbed a caffeine pill and asked, “So what happened to you, Yunlong?”
“Yeah… I’m also curious about that, Master,” Kyudai added while staring at him. contemporary romance
Yunlong shook his head and briefly explained what had happened in the past nine years, making David and Kyudai speechless because Alternative Reality exists in this universe. It’s not impossible because they have been transported from the My Hero Academy Universe to the Douluo Dalu Universe, after all.
However, with their current level of technology, David couldn’t see a way to replicate Yunlong’s power to hope between dimensions. He needed to become a god like him first, which was difficult with Douluo Planet’s planar laws.
“Gods… I could only dream about it for now.” David laughed weakly.
Yunlong patted David’s back and replied, “That dream will only take a few weeks to be true. Well, It could have been a few hours, technically.”
“Sadly, my mom told me she wants to trample the Sun and Moon Empire herself with the people of the Bright Spirit Empire.”
Kyudai and David were stunned for a second, laughing loudly afterward because the hatred between the two empires wasn’t just bad blood anymore.
“That’s pretty understandable considering how many shit-shows the Sun and Moon Empire displayed for the past three years. They robbed people’s lives like no tomorrow on the open sea, and that’s because they wanted more resources.” Kyudai’s expression darkened. “Oh… I shouldn’t be the one who spouted justice when All for One was my boss and friend beforehand.”
“I’ve done enough evil to die anytime, but the Sun and Moon Empire are on different scales than me. Evil is still Evil, no matter how small or big it is. However, I realized more mistakes and did my best to repent for my sin.” The scientist could only smile in irony as everything he had done in the previous world was like a chain that held tight onto him.
Yunlong opened his eyes and said, “You have a lot of Bad Karma. It’s not something you can fix instantly, but don’t worry because your Good Karma is also growing to match it.”
“I see…” Kyudai sighed in relief because helping people needed for the last three years bore some results.
They arrived at the meeting room and saw people gathering at the long table. Yunlong recognized familiar faces and felt odd because some of them looked younger. Becoming a Title Douluo increases one’s lifespan and makes one more youthful, but someone looks like a child in the later stage of puberty.
“Yo, Madara.” He called over the Ghost of the Uchiha.
Madara leaned on his chair and commented in amusement, “Look what we have here. The missing child has returned finally.”
“Geh, I don’t want to hear that from you…” Yunlong’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t deny the title because what Madara said was true.
“Is that so? I could see that you’ve become stronger beyond belief, and my eyes couldn’t even discern your realm now. As if you have become God like the Empress and Saintess.” The Uchiha added, which left everyone in awe because Yunlong’s current is still mysterious to them.
Some people are lucky enough to know beforehand, minus the maids and companions who disappeared alongside Yunlong three years ago.
“I’ll tell you guys about that matter later.” Yunlong calmed their curiosity for now.
Liu Erlong has been eyeing Yunlong the moment he enters the meeting room, and sultry asks, “How are you, Yunlong~?”
“Good, you have become more beautiful, Erlong.” Yunlong returned with a small smile, which caused the red-haired woman to blush.
“Oh my~! What a flattery, hehe.” Liu Erlong leaned onto the table and couldn’t help but lick her lips hungrily. “I like it.”
Even though the conversation between the Hell Dragon Douluo and the Dragon Emperor hasn’t gone for more than 1 minute, the watchers are in disbelief because Liu Erlong is known as an untameable woman among the Bright Spirit Empire’s community.
The lunatic commandress has received several marriage proposals from many figures on the Douluo Continent, but most end up losing their lifespan because of fighting her. Yet, before their eyes, she looks no different than a maiden in love when facing Yunlong.
“This is Genjutsu!”
“Yes! GENJUTSU OF THIS LEVEL WON’T WORK ON ME, HAHA!!”
Madara was amused and commented, “Some of you are delusional. Who is brave enough to use an illusion in the meeting room?”
“Unless you want to get beaten by us, that’s it.”
The council members shut their mouths when hearing that.
Bibi Dong entered the room with Dong Chan and announced, “We shall hold the meeting now. I’ll introduce you to my new secretary.”
“Her name is Dong Chan.”
Everyone slowly moved their gazes to Dong Chan and was dumbfounded because she was no different than Bibi Dong, besides their clothes.
Momo rubbed her eyes and said, “Maybe this is Genjutsu, Madara-San.”
“Fuck, there are two of them now,” Zetsu added with widened eyes.
Dong Chan lowered her head slightly and greeted them, “Hello, My name is Dong Chan. Nice to meet all of you…”
“…” Madara.
“…” Zetsu.
“…” Liu Erlong.
“…” David.
“…” Kyudai.
“…” Momo.
“Yep, She’s not the Empress.” They agreed immediately. Bibi Dong would never lower their heads and act so polite, knowing she could demolish everyone in the room with sheer presence alone.
On the contrary, Dong Chan is more tame and gentle.
Bibi Dong chuckled at their reaction because she was also shocked about how gentle Dong Chan was. This alternative version of her is the polar opposite in terms of personality.
She noticed Yunlong in the room and clapped her hand, causing the maid to add another throne beside her throne. “Yunlong, Sit.” She said while pointing at the throne.
“We’ll start the meeting.”
