"This is really enjoyable..."
Jiangnan lowered his head, looked at the Executor who had turned to ashes on the ground, and shook his head.
"I'll probably never forget this battle for the rest of my life."
And above the sky.
"Phew~"
With the death of the Executor, the red tracking light that had been relentlessly pursuing Yekater also dissipated into the air.
Chen Bin, who was carrying Yekater through the air, breathed a sigh of relief and descended from mid-air with him.
Yekater landed, his legs were still trembling uncontrollably.
He immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Jiangnan.
"Thank you so much for saving my life! If it weren't for you, I would never have left here alive today."
Yekater looked up at Jiangnan's excessively young face, his eyes filled with awe.
"May I ask... which veteran member of the China military's Think Tank are you?"
"Once this mission is over, I will personally visit you on behalf of the Su Country Ice Dragon Squad, bringing generous gifts to express my gratitude!"
In Yekater's mind, a powerful figure could possess the terrifying strength to suppress a top-tier battlefield single-handedly and change the course of a battle with a mere gesture.
They are definitely those reclusive super elders of China!
Chen Bin, standing to the side, almost burst out laughing when he heard the title "elder."
He was about to explain the man's identity when Jiangnan glared at him coldly, shutting him up.
Jiangnan has no intention of correcting this misunderstanding.
His identity is too complicated, and we need to thoroughly understand the secrets of the Barbaric Realm and eradicate the lurking Evil God forces before we can proceed.
The fewer people who know his identity as the Dragon God, the better.
At the same time.
As Jiangnan closely examined Yekater, the Eye of Mobius began to turn.
He sensed a familiar bloodline fluctuation in this young man from the Su Country Union.
That is...
The aura of the Dragon Clan blood!
Although it is very faint, it definitely exists.
Moreover, Jiangnan gazed at Yekater's deep-set eyes and brows.
Suddenly, I realized that this guy's name and appearance were very similar to that of the woman who always had a cold face in the RV.
"Could it be..."
Jiangnan immediately had a guess.
He took out his Memo Pad, quickly wrote two lines, and handed it over.
No need for formalities, just call me Mr. Jiang.
[Also, I have a personal question for you: do you... know Yekaterina?]
Yekater had pure China blood, so he was fluent in China.
When he saw those four familiar words on the note, he was completely stunned.
"Yekaterina?!"
Yekater looked up at Jiangnan with disbelief. "Mr. Jiang, you... you've seen my aunt before?!"
Aunt?!
Jiangnan's hand trembled, and he almost threw the Memo Pad away.
He resisted the urge to lose his composure and wrote again on the sticky note.
[Yekaterina... is your aunt?!]
Jiangnan complained inwardly.
He had originally thought that Yekaterina was at most a peer, like this kid's younger sister or older sister.
How come his generational ranking has even increased?!
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
Yekater scratched her head and answered truthfully, "Yekaterina is my father's younger sister."
"However, because my grandfather had a daughter late in life, she's not much older than me; she's only 33 this year."
"You... you saw her on the island?"
Jiangnan looked at Yekater's expectant eyes, his face turning ashen.
I've seen more than just it!
Those are all close relationships where people know each other inside and out and have had in-depth conversations!
But that wasn't what Jiangnan cared about at the moment.
He suddenly realized a problem.
I feel like...
She's been taken advantage of again by an older man.
Jiangnan quickly went through the women around him in his mind.
Chen Tong, Yekaterina, Piano, Hoshino Hikaru, and even Liu Ruyan...
It seems like every woman is actually older than him!
Even!
Phoenix Emperor is an ancient monster who has lived for thousands of years and is even more ancient than our ancestors!
Although his soul was a genuine old monster, the problem was that he had no memories of his previous life.
Moreover, this body has just been reconstructed, so by all accounts it's a genuine, innocent 18-year-old male high school student at the peak of his adolescence.
In the end, it seems like I'm the one who's been taken advantage of and suffers the biggest losses.
Jiangnan suddenly discovered this blind spot.
However, the speed at which he came to terms with it was also astonishing.
Because then I thought, what if I really found someone younger than myself...?
Well...
Then they really deserve to be electrocuted.
Well, as the saying goes, "A woman three years older than you is like a gold brick, a woman three thousand years older is like a mountain of gold." Let's just make do.
Getting back to the main point, Jiangnan put aside his chaotic thoughts, wrote a reply on a sticky note, and handed it to Yekater.
[Yekaterina is safe now and is with me.]
[Don't doubt it, the thought that suddenly popped into your head is exactly the kind of relationship you're thinking of.]
After reading the note, Yekater's jaw nearly dislocated.
"Sukhabriel!!!"
Yekater stared at Jiangnan's eighteen-year-old face, so shocked that even his China was almost burning with embarrassment.
"You... you have such a good appetite! You're not picky at all! Even my aunt, with her short temper..."
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yekater suddenly realized he had misspoke.
This is my savior!
And that woman is now the matriarch of the elders!
He quickly and awkwardly tried to cover it up. "Sorry, sorry! I haven't spoken China in so long, I'm babbling!"
"I meant... Uncle Jiang! I wish you and my aunt a long and happy marriage, and many children!"
You two are a match made in heaven!
Jiangnan was too lazy to pay attention to his awkward flattery.
He turned to look at the other side of the battlefield.
Over there, Xu Wange's battle was over.
The boss, Iron Maiden, has been sawed into countless hero fragments by her and [Shadow Iron Maiden] working together.
Meanwhile, the Human Emperor Lamp was currently roaming the battlefield, capturing souls with its chains waving like a happy tentacle monster.
"It's time to end this."
Jiangnan snapped his fingers casually.
"Smack!"
With a snap of his fingers, the [Hall of Yama] domain vanished instantly!
The surrounding crimson and black bronze pillars faded, revealing the original ruins of the Bone-Burying Abyss.
At that moment, Chen Bin grabbed Yekater's shoulder and exclaimed, "Brother, you've struck it rich, you know that?!"
Yekater nodded repeatedly in deep agreement. "Yes, Uncle Jiang is no ordinary person!"
"At least among the elder statesmen of China that I know, there is absolutely no one more monstrous than him!"
"With this connection, won't I be able to do whatever I want on the Weird Island?"
Chen Bin rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "What the hell do you know! This is the Dragon God!"
"Dragon God! You've become the Dragon God's nephew, isn't that like hooking up with a powerful figure?"
"Alright."
Jiangnan interrupted their whispered conversation and tossed them a note.
[Going to take care of important business.]
[It's safe here now. Call Xu Wange and go activate the Spirit-Summoning Lighthouse.]
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
Chen Bin immediately stood at attention and saluted, then pulled Yekater along to find Xu Wange and reunite.
Watching the group's departing figures, Jiangnan raised his hand and waved towards the distance.
"Whoosh!"
Upon receiving the summons, the Human Emperor Lamp immediately returned, scurrying back eagerly.
However, at this moment it's like a well-fed Liangzi.
They couldn't even fly properly anymore, and could only hop and skip along the ground towards Jiangnan.
"Hiccup..."
The Human Emperor Lamp hopped to Jiangnan's feet, let out a burp, and emitted a wisp of black smoke.
Jiangnan gave it a disdainful look and asked, "Stop talking nonsense and report how much savings you've swallowed up so far?"
With great effort, the Human Emperor Lamp extended a chain and scraped it across the ground.
[Current total Love Points: 2.8 million!]
Jiangnan nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good."
"We're very close to the 3 million Great Love Points required to advance to Special Grade."
But...
Jiangnan stroked his chin.
He is not a short-sighted capitalist who only cares about immediate gains.
"Long-term development is essential."
"This time, I'll not only use my Strong Luck card to check in, but also try to squeeze every last penny out of this Bone-Burying Abyss to complete the puzzle."
"I also need to reserve enough 'love points' to plan the employee dormitory area within the Human Emperor Lamp."
"And while you're at it, get a set of assembly line equipment."
"Only by improving the infrastructure can we continuously and automatically generate massive amounts of 'love points'!"
Having made up his mind, Jiangnan did not hesitate at all.
He transformed into a wisp of black smoke and entered the office area inside the Human Emperor Lamp.
Jiangnan sat down cross-legged, immediately preparing to cast Word Spirit.
"Let me see..."
"Once this Judgment Sequence is collected, just imagine the earth-shattering effects of the legendary Divine Grade Word Spirit [Judgment] that the system rewards us with!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand.
Great Love in Time!
20,000 points of love were instantly deducted, and the Time Flow in the office area changed dramatically!
A second outside is forcibly stretched into a whole day here!
Time flies.
The system notification tone sounded immediately.
[Ding! 24 hours have elapsed!]
[Daily Settlement completed!]
[Word Quota refreshed: +1 (Current balance: 3021)]
[Current Location:???]
[Check-in successful!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Word Spirit - Executor (Sequence 022)!]
Upon hearing the sequence name, Jiangnan's lips curled into a slight smile.
And then!
The system notification tone suddenly rose in pitch!
[Bite!!!]
[Detection indicates your Adjudication Sequence Puzzle has reached (8/8)!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully collected the complete Judgment Sequence!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the ultimate sequence reward: Word Spirit - Judgment (Divine Grade)!!!]
"They're here!"
Jiangnan perked up and immediately opened the two newly created Word Spirit panels.
[Word Spirit - Executor (Sequence 022)]
[Function]: Summons the Judgment Executor under the King Yama, who will hunt down those judged guilty.
[Characteristic]:
Summoning prerequisites: The caster must possess "evidence" of the target's crime, and the target must be within 10 kilometers of the caster.
If the target is innocent, they will enter a berserk state and hunt down the caster.
Three-stage pattern:
Phase 1: Qiongqi, possessing S-class physical attributes.
Phase Two: The second head at Qiongqi's neck will detach and transform into an independent skeleton warrior.
The skeleton warrior wields the Sword of Punishment, hovering in mid-air, and can launch ranged attacks.
At this moment, Qiongqi continued its melee combat, and the two cooperated to attack the target.
Phase Three: Qiongqi and the Skeleton Warrior merge to form a humanoid Executor.
Standing at 2.5 meters tall, clad in jet-black Devil-Extinguishing Armor, Punishment Crossbow Armor in his left hand and Demon-Slaying Sword in his right.
In this form, the Executor gains the following equipment effects.
Demon-Slaying Sword: Capable of severing all supernatural powers.
Devil-Extinguishing Armor: Provides 60% damage resistance to all attributes, including all types such as time and space.
Punishment Crossbow Armor: Automatic target acquisition; bolts can track the target's soul, ignoring obstacles; range 2 kilometers.
[Consumption]: 20 characters.
[Range]: Summoning range is within 10 kilometers; the Executor will automatically track the target within the pursuit range.
[Activation Method]: Put your hands together in prayer and chant aloud.
"In the name of iron and blood, in the reality of ending, I hereby execute Judgment. Qiongqi, reveal yourself!"
[Word Spirit: Judgment (Divine Grade)]
[Overview]: This is Word Spirit that transcends all laws and causality; the holder of this power is the God of Judgment.
The Judgment has two forms: one is divine, the other Gods and Devils.
[One Form: Judgment, Divine Punishment]
[Effect]: Summons a pure white beam of light that pierces through the heavens, cascading down from the sky and dealing true damage equal to 90% of the target's maximum health.
[Prerequisites]: The following three Word Spirit must be successfully activated in sequence.
[King's Authority (Sequence 067)]
[Imperial Edict (Sequence 039)]
[Imperial Might (Sequence 033)]
Once all three are activated, Judgment and Divine Punishment will automatically unlock and must be activated within 10 seconds; otherwise, they will need to be reactivated in the correct order.
[Characteristics]: The beam of light is ten meters in diameter, falling vertically from the zenith, locking onto the target's soul, and cannot be dodged, blocked, or moved.
Use once a day at most
[Consumption]: 12 characters + the consumption of the three prerequisite Word Spirit.
[Range]: Within line of sight or locked on by the soul.
[Activation Method]: Bring the index and middle fingers of your right hand together, raise them vertically upwards, like a divine sword enforcing the law on behalf of Heaven, and pronounce judgment in a stern voice.
"By the word of God, Adjudication upon your sins!"
[Second Form - Judgment - King Yama]
[Function]: Forcibly separates the target's soul from their body and drags it into the Hall of Yama.
Inside the Hall of Yama, Zhong Kui (Executor, Stage 4), along with the Black and White Impermanence and the ghost messengers, will pursue and kill him.
If the target soul is killed within the hall, its Shadow will be permanently imprisoned in the Hall of Yama, transformed into a ghost messenger, and serve the caster.
[Feature]: Ignores distance; the caster can perform the procedure remotely if they have a sample of the target's body, such as hair, dander, nails, or blood.
If no sample is available, visual contact is required.
The same target can only be locked once per month.
[Consumption]: 16 characters (initiative).
[Range]: Unlimited.
[Activation Method]: The caster sits upright in a chair.
He taps the chair armrest or tabletop with his right hand, his lips twitching slightly, the sound like a bell from the underworld.
"Sin-Breaking Soul-Seizing, the Hall of Yama open!"
"By the Judge's Token, bring the soul back to the palace!"
After reading the introductions to these two Divine Grade Word Spirit, even the usually composed Jiangnan couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"The first move deals true damage based on the target's maximum health, severely reducing their health..."
"And the second technique... can actually forcibly extract the soul from a distance, and there's also the fourth-stage Executor..."
A cold glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes.
He gazed toward the Prayer Deep Pool...
"Judgment..."
"It's time for me to redefine the rules of this Weird Island."
