Capítulo 2073: Chapter 2070: Warm-Up Opponent
Upon hearing such an ability prompt, Han Dong revealed a slightly happy expression
If the “Thousand Faces Liquid” belongs to consumable items, only usable once or a few times, it would be quite troublesome.
By adding [First Chaos] among the options for Borrowing God , I can borrow it whenever I need, and even find opportunities to test it in advance.
The “burden” required to borrow the First Chaos is absolutely incomparable to other incarnations.
I’m not sure if my body can withstand it, or how much power I can exert, whether I can truly disguise as my predecessors.”
Han Dong reached out to touch his abdomen, sensing the existence of the white lotus, and the pressure in his heart eased considerably.
“No need to think about unnecessary things; once I engage in real combat, I’ll naturally know what the situation is.
Speaking of which, who should I practice with? The opponent must be “Upper Rank”.
The Black Pharaoh? Seems a bit unsuitable… Sharnoth is about to be invaded by the King-level Out of control; without the Grey Sovereign sitting in command, we must avoid early-stage consumption as much as possible.
Moreover, I’m not sure if it’s my illusion,
“Black Pharaoh” as an incarnation of Grey, yet always seems to show extreme dissatisfaction with the Grey Sovereign through his gaze and words.
Even though I’m merely mimicking, once we confront each other, he likely won’t hold back, maybe even going all out to hurt me… The queen might not even arrive before I’m severely injured and bedridden.
Who exactly should I find?
The Yellow Robe has currently brought together an overpowering strength. Additionally, its means differ greatly compared to other beings, leaving little value for a spar.
If it’s Boss K, any movement of His body would cause intense sensory reactions throughout the world’s sea areas.”
As Han Dong pondered hard about whom to practice with, suddenly a flash of inspiration struck in his mind.
“Has my brain been overused? Clearly, there’s a perfect candidate right before me, yet I keep weighing options back and forth.”
[Holy City – Noientena]
The reconstruction work among the surface cities has basically been completed,
Moreover, the “Skull Girl” shows no abnormalities whatsoever; though some townsfolk find it difficult to accept such ‘craniotomy relatives’, overall, things remain harmonious.
The only remaining task now is to repair the foundation.
During combat with Marlon,
Every chop strike from the Razor Man inflicted severe destruction upon the foundation… the deepest and most destructive strike almost penetrated the mantle layer.
Repairing the foundation is akin to stitching the wounds of the entire Earth.
Out of various machinery contraptions connected within the cracks, and amidst massive mechanical worker operations underground.
At the deepest trench of the crack,
A man with a flame crown hovering above his head has stayed here for two whole days and nights.
Right before him lies the tombstone engraved with the name of Death, with the silver scythe forged in Olympus also pierced here.
Scattered around are various empty wine glasses,
Occasionally echoing bouts of drunken conversations, seemingly talking to someone… Unfortunately, the sound resonating deep in the cracks belongs to him alone.
A strange grey-white vortex generates at the bottom,
Followed closely by a gray leather shoe stepping forth… the emerging young man is Han Dong, albeit with an unusual aura, exuding an intangible pressure.
To better mimic, Han Dong altered his attire’s color palette to [Grey], wearing a waistcoat identical to the style of the Grey Walker.
“Greetings, Captain Marlon.”
Marlon, though initially drowsy-headed, instantly became alert upon witnessing the vortex creation and Nicholas stepping out.
“Nicholas? Is this grey vortex your ability? When did you pick up this trick? I’ve never seen it before.”
Reaching the world’s highest boundary naturally allows Marlon to see through a substance’s true state and basic rules, yet he couldn’t comprehend the spinning vortex before him.
“Well~ long story short, it’s also a special opportunity of mine.
The fusion within the vortex incorporates void and unclean origin traits, forming a new system through special blending, acting as the pivotal pillar of my body.
As I see it, only I alone can use this within the world.”
“Hmm… sounds like I owe you a life, don’t I?”
Marlon clearly recalled the bullet impacts from the King-level Out of control during his ascension… If not for the sudden appearance of the mysterious whirlpool altering bullet speed and trajectory, everything might’ve ended differently.
“Without Captain Marlon’s execution of Arthur Penny, I would face the same danger; I merely coordinated the battle.”
Upon finishing his words,
Han Dong headed toward the death-filled grave, kneeling with one knee, bowing his head in silent mourning.
Approximately five minutes passed before he slowly stood up.
Meanwhile, Marlon used his finger-ignited flame to light a specially made “Hell Cigar”, with blazing ashes seeping through all seven orifices.
An ordinary person taking a puff would have their lungs instantly incinerated, not to mention their entire body burnt to ashes.
“Speak, why are you looking for me?
Someone as occupied as you with Demons and the Black Tower surely wouldn’t come here without reason. Even if mourning Alex, it should’ve been after the war ended.”
“To be honest, I’d like Captain Marlon’s help.
I am about to face the [King] Out of control, yet I am uncertain about the newfound abilities acquired… I hope to familiarize and test them through real combat, then conduct a comprehensive assessment for the upcoming plan.”
“You… plan to confront an Upper Rank head-on?”
Marlon scrutinized Han Dong from top to bottom, naturally discerning that Han Dong wasn’t yet crowned, remaining still a [Pseudo-King].
However, the aura Han Dong exudes far surpasses any Pseudo-King Marlon had seen.
Marlon himself was curious about Han Dong’s true ability, “I’m actually willing to help you warm up… But restoration work for the Holy City is ongoing, I wouldn’t want everyone’s effort going to waste.”
“I’ve already chosen an appropriate sparring venue, as long as Captain Marlon agrees, it won’t affect here.”
Togu, who was adjusting the World Lockchain, suddenly froze,
An aura representing the essence of Hell suddenly swept across the whole world, compelling him to instinctively bow his head.
In the blink of an eye,
Marlon, standing barefoot, along with Han Dong wearing gray leather shoes, were present before him.
Han Dong’s hand conveniently landed on Togu’s shoulder,
“Togu, Captain Marlon and I will have a special sparring session next, follow along and watch carefully.”
Marlon assessed this unique Hell Raiser before him, nodding in acknowledgment.
Original Vortex teleportation,
With consideration for the widespread scene destruction potentially caused by this sparring,
The sparring ground was set in undeveloped wastelands… Meanwhile, all prison guards were collectively tasked to create an “Energy Shield”, sealing the prison area to prevent considerable impact on newly established prison facilities.
Marlon started to lightly flex his joints, “Nicholas, how do you want me to assist you? Perhaps I should first use 20% of my power for a warm-up?”
“No need… Captain Marlon, please wait a moment, then judge how much strength to use based on my specific condition.
Just be slightly cautious, making sure not to kill me.”
Han Dong held both hands before him, assuming a posture of divine prayer. Follow current novels on nοvelfire.net
Amidst dispersing grey mist, a peculiar grey mask emerged within his palms.
With the mask donned upon Han Dong’s face, a grey energy column erupted skyward, directly piercing the heavens.
The present scene and Han Dong’s momentary outburst caused a dramatic change in Marlon’s expression, instinctively taking a step back,
Even tightening his grip upon the sword handle, preparing himself in full for a “drawn sword stance”.
