The Law of Heaven

Chapter 27: The Myth Reappears
Aihara closed his eyes and rested under the eaves, looking as comfortable as an old man sleeping on a bamboo chair, but his consciousness had already shifted and was no longer focused on himself.

"It's an interesting ability, but its drawbacks are quite obvious, no wonder not many people use it."

The strange, dark figure paced around the courtyard, trying to stretch his muscles and do some calisthenics, muttering, "This body is made of some unknown substance, but it doesn't actually have real flesh and blood. It's just a puppet that can be used as a scapegoat to die."

He sighed, "But the downside is that when the host is controlling the clown, the host body goes into hibernation. That's a bit dangerous, but thankfully the Mirage can protect me."

Most importantly, the clown has strict conditions for use: the host must remain on the other side.

This may be related to the transmission of consciousness.

As we all know, the transmission of information requires a medium, but there can't be a transmission line between the main body and the clone, so we can only rely on other methods to transmit consciousness.

That's the opposite side.

The alternate dimension is a spacetime that overlaps with reality. The original body can use its special characteristics to transmit consciousness over long distances using black cards as a medium, thereby controlling the clone.

Of course, this is Aihara's speculation.

It's also possible that the clown only submits to life on the other side; once the main body returns to reality, the clone will sense this, the program will malfunction, and it will collapse on the spot.

In short, that's why the clown with the ghost face is considered useless; who the hell would have the time to go and stay on the other side?

Moreover, the main body cannot move in the other side. If it encounters a zombie or a dead apostle, wouldn't it die on the spot?

The Mirage Tower is a special alternate side. First of all, Aihara will not be contaminated here, and people without permission cannot enter. His true form can sleep peacefully.

Aihara controlled the clown clone, dressed himself in clothes and shoes, put on a baseball cap and a black mask, and then put on a pair of sunglasses, thus completing the disguise.

Looking at it this way, you can't tell it's a puppet anymore.

Aihara raised his hand and swung it forcefully, breaking off a branch from the old crooked-necked tree, which then pierced the ground like an arrow.

His abilities are still usable, but compared to his original stats, they are about 20% weaker.

Even so, it's enough.

The clown with the ghost face is very useful to him; it's not just making use of waste, it's turning trash into treasure!

"very good."

Aihara formatted his old phone and put it in his pocket, planning to go out later to get a new SIM card so he could easily contact Kosuke.

Aihara plans to go to her uncle's family later, and she will try to get some information out of them by any means necessary.

Just as he was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks.

Snapped.

Raindrops fell on the old threshold.

The leaves of the old, crooked-necked tree crackled and popped under the rain, the wind and rain carrying a thick, earthy smell. The old stone-paved road was soaked through in the downpour.

The old neighbors shouted that it was raining, covered their heads, and crawled into the building entrance, while the dog at the door barked incessantly.

It was as if they had caught a whiff of something.

Aihara looked up at the sky, but his pupils were stung by the lightning that pierced the night sky. The rolling thunder exploded in his ears, and the feeling was as if the sky had collapsed, making him tremble.

The clone's sensations were accurately fed back to the original body.

He realized something was wrong, closed his eyes, and released his mental field with all his might to support himself.

His toes were off the ground.

The body ascended into the air.

Aihara floated in the torrential rain, using the reaction force of the mental field to fly up to a height of ten meters.

This was his first attempt at flying. He had only wanted to test it out, but he unexpectedly succeeded on his first try.

This height was already half a building high. Aihara stepped on the air conditioner unit of the building next door, released his mental field again to lift himself up and continue flying higher.

Until he flew to the rooftop.

Continue ascending until the limit!
It’s so refreshing.

"Alas."

Aihara was overjoyed by this wonderful experience, and didn't care at all even though the throbbing pain in his head felt like it was about to shatter.

One of humanity's dreams since ancient times has been to fly into the sky. Although some people have successfully flown into outer space with the help of technology, today he flew up by his own strength, even if the altitude was less than 100 meters.

Amidst thunder and lightning, he looked down at the city from the pouring rain, feeling a sense of supreme power, as if he could roam freely in any world.

The quiet alley was flooded by the torrential rain, and the brightly lit streets were also shrouded in rain. The maple trees by the roadside swayed incessantly in the wind and rain, and the neon lights flashing in the darkness concealed a mysterious beauty, like the alluring red lips of a mature woman.

Aihara took a deep breath.

Breathing in the earthy smell of the wind and rain.

This is such a...feeling of freedom.

But when he looked to the east, he was stunned.

In the torrential rain of the night, mist spreads among the majestic mountains, and you can vaguely see rugged black shadows moving and tumbling in the mist, leaving behind scorched marks riddled with holes.

What a magnificent creature it was.

His body was faintly visible in the mist.

It soars and seems ready to take flight.

"What it is?"

Aihara was stunned and murmured softly.

For some reason, his eyes felt a little stinging.

Even the information received through his clone still placed a great burden on his eyes.

"A dragon?"

The ancient dragon moved faster and faster through the mist, almost tearing the majestic mountains and bustling cities apart, creating a massive rift in the darkness. A howling wind swept in from afar.

A voice could be faintly heard in the wind.

He said, "Leivatin!"

Aihara's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a familiar phantom appear in the city shrouded in dark clouds.

It was the back of a man, clearly hunched over yet exuding great stature. He held a burning branch, flames roaring wildly at the tip, like a demonic sword that would burn the world.

The man's silhouette flashed by.

The scorching sword mark flashed by in the darkness!

That moment of magnificence was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, the torrential rain pierced by a scorching streak, the mountains and cities torn apart, and a tremendous roar echoing through the heavens and earth.

Even in the air, Aihara felt an ancient pressure coming towards him, as if an ancient beast had awakened in the deep mountains, shaking the whole world!

Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The waves were enormous, like a tsunami.

A north-south highway, a vital transportation hub for the city, has been severed. Now, it has been destroyed by an unknown force, with horrifying cracks spreading out, dust rising, and rubble collapsing and sliding into the abyss.

All the roads near Wushan trembled and broke apart, while a wind as if from hell surged up from the abyss, and a chaotic sandstorm burst forth, sprinkling the earth.

The traffic lights short-circuited and stopped, causing vehicles on the long street to brake suddenly, resulting in a huge traffic jam.

Many people even abandoned their cars and fled, mistaking the situation for an earthquake or tsunami, and ran around in a panic.

boom!
Thunder rumbles.

No, that wasn't thunder.

It was a dragon's roar!

A furious dragon roar.

From the abyss shrouded in sandstorm, dark and ferocious dragon horns emerged, standing majestically in the human city like bronze tombstones.

What a shocking scene! It's as if human civilization is utterly powerless before the might of ancient gods.

At the Deep Blue United Headquarters, the elderly members of the board of directors held a meeting, but they stopped arguing and watched this breathtaking scene unfold.

To this day, no one knows exactly when the ancient laws of nature appeared. These mythical creatures seem to have been suddenly recorded in the ancient books of humankind, passed down from generation to generation, becoming distant legends and epics.

However, one thing that can be basically confirmed at present is that after immortal beings began to appear among humans, these mysterious mythical creatures descended to earth and used their supreme power to sever space and time, separating the other side from the present world.

Some say that humanity violated the rules by using the arts of life and death, opened the forbidden door, released this ancient life form, and disrupted the balance of the world.

Some say this is the result of the evolution of natural laws. When humanity mastered forbidden power, it also gave birth to a natural enemy capable of destroying the world. The two have a symbiotic relationship, an unsolvable knot.

In today's relatively peaceful world, such epic scenes are rarely seen anymore, as if ancient humans, wielding swords, faced the gods amidst blood and fire.

"After so many years, Fu Wanghu still retains such strength. Among the five great families, he is the only one who can still use Levatin. Is he really seriously injured? I doubt it."

"After all, he was the rightful successor after Chairman Ruan, and he was such a genius."

"This is a deliberate demonstration; this guy hasn't given up on the fight for power. Fu Wanghu holding onto Leivatin is proving he's not rotten yet. Even if he can't succeed to the throne, don't forget he has a loyal younger brother. If Fu Wanghu supports his brother to the throne, it's the same thing."

"Chairman Ruan still has some time left, and we must select a new successor from among the five companies as soon as possible."

"Can the media keep quiet about it?"

"Don't worry, all they'll see is the broken road and the raging mudslides, so just call it an earthquake. Anyway, they can't see those dragon horns."

“I am worried that ordinary people who have not yet awakened will be provoked and cause some unrest.”

"The family's psychologist has been dispatched."

"Has the mirage dragon been provoked?"

"Probably not. This is not enough to pose a threat to the Mirage Dragon. Its appetite has never been so strong. I don't know which damned bastard is provoking it like this. But to be honest, it has helped us too."

"That's good, as long as we didn't anger the mirage dragon."

While the elderly people were discussing amongst themselves, a female secretary suddenly knocked on the meeting room door.

"I apologize for disturbing you all, but Chief Inspector Yu from the Municipal Police Department has arrived, and someone needs to greet him."

The female secretary explained.

The old people exchanged glances.

"They were alerted after all."

“Yu Ge is here, so I’ll go see him. Something big is going to happen in the Misty Mountain, and this exploration of the other side is necessary. With the police’s cooperation, we can do a better job.”

"That's good. Nobody knows what's hidden in the misty mountains. With the police's cooperation, we're safe too."

Director Zhou of the Security Bureau, holding a walkie-talkie, ordered: "Notify the operational sequence to begin the exploration mission. At the same time, grant the hunters permission to explore the other side. Distribute the licenses as soon as possible; don't keep them waiting."

The old man put down the walkie-talkie and picked up his phone to send a message: "Xiao Jian, after your rehabilitation training, your body is almost fully recovered, right? This time, do your best to ensure Youqing's safety."

Yuqing is still young. Although she's not a member of the family by blood, she's the future of the family, and the chairman values ​​her highly. This mission is no simple matter. I'm not worried about external pressure; I'm just afraid of internal betrayal. The Security Bureau's job is to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening.

In short, I want you to achieve as much as possible so that I can choose you as my successor and pass on my Perfection Technique to you. Otherwise, my useless successors will just take advantage of you.

An elderly man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city in the torrential rain, and whispered, "Be safe."

He pressed the answer button.

Radio communication was activated, and the cacophony of sounds, mixed with the roar of wind and rain, echoed in the silent conference room.

The headquarters building is located not far from Wushan. Through the rain, you can see black Mercedes-Benz cars speeding along the highway, their bright taillights converging like stars.

The winding streetlights on the highway flickered on and off, and the convoy seemed to have fallen into darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Storm is coming.
