Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

Lin Ye seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but pat his forehead, looking somewhat ashamed.

Then, as if to prove his identity, he took out a mask from his body, a pale white mask of a nobleman.

"Does Your Excellency Herzog recognize this? I was carrying it with me when I met you in the Great Hall not long ago, and we even had a very pleasant experience."

Lin Ye shook the mask in his hand and said with a light laugh.

The pale white mask bore the striking smile of a high-ranking official.

Herzog was so terrified that his scalp tingled. He even forgot to run away and stood there in disbelief, staring at the mask in Lin Ye's hand. He pointed at the other person and exclaimed, "It's you! It was you that day! In the main hall of the Sheqi family's shrine, it was you who tortured and killed me. You are Bondarev! No, you are not Bondarev! You were never him from the beginning!"

Herzog was so frightened that he was incoherent.

Memories of that night flooded his mind like a tide. Although he was a shadow warrior and Tachibana Masamune took the torture for him, the pain was still happening to Herzog's body.

Because the two are mentally linked in order to control the Shadow Warrior, it is this close connection that allows Herzog to control the Shadow Warrior with such precision each time. The Shadow Warrior's thoughts, actions, and intentions are all conveyed through Herzog's will.

It could be said that he was Herzog's alter ego, which is why the various tortures and killings Lin Ye inflicted on him that night remained vivid in his memory and even became a nightmare for the rest of his life.

What Herzog found even more unbelievable was that he subconsciously mistook the figure of the nobleman who appeared for Bondarev. It's no wonder he thought so, since the figure of the nobleman who appeared was telling Herzog's past.

But those secrets all happened in the desolate, barren Arctic. Only the real devils know the truth, because all the others who know the truth are dead and buried under the eternal permafrost of the Arctic, never to see the light of day again.

However, the nobleman who appeared in the main hall told everything in detail, down to the smallest detail. Herzog had no reason not to believe that the other party was Bondarev, and the other party also admitted to Bondarev's identity. Now it seems that all of this was Lin Ye's misleading, and even Herzog's subconscious judgment and cognition. All of this was actually Lin Ye's doing.

Herzog looked at Lin Ye with great fear; at this moment, he was truly terrified.

Because this boy was someone he couldn't understand, and now that he had impersonated Bondarev and even revealed everything, Herzog felt that Lin Ye was like a real ghost who could see through everything about him.

"Lord Herzog, it seems you do have a good memory. However, your intelligence is questionable. I only used a little trick to deceive you. You pride yourself on being as cunning as a fox, but it seems you're not so clever after all."

Lin Ye mocked mercilessly.

"Why did you torture me like that? I had no grudge against you, why were you so cruel? What did I do wrong that made you torture me like that? Lin Ye, you have no heart."

Herzog cursed in a broken tone.

"Ah... Your Excellency Herzog, you're saying I have no heart? You're taking this role too far."

You know better than anyone which of us is heartless. You yourself are a demon, so what if I torture and kill you? The more brutal my methods, the more justice I represent; I'm accumulating merit."

Lin Ye sneered.

The gaze directed at Herzog grew even colder.

When this evil spirit curses another person to be heartless, it's clear that the other person doesn't care at all about the evil deeds they've committed in the past. If Lin Ye remembers correctly, in the Dragon Raja storyline, especially at the Black Swan Port in Arctic Siberia, in that place that resembles an orphanage, when Herzog and Bondarev finally reached a deal, the two were about to leave by helicopter. But just before leaving, Herzog put a large amount of hallucinogens into the air conditioning ducts, intending to put the mixed-race children with dragon blood into a hallucination so that they wouldn't struggle when things were done to them.

Then, a lot of explosives were planted in the Black Swan Harbor, which would explode and burst into flames. Herzog's purpose was to burn the children alive, firstly to destroy the evidence, and secondly to prevent these 'treasures' from falling into the hands of others with ulterior motives.

Not only that, Herzog also cruelly burned thousands of embryos alive in the incubation room, except for the three fully formed embryos: Genjiro, Genjiro, and Erii.

Herzog's methods can be described as extremely cruel. The concepts of life and morality are completely absent from the mind of the target, making him no different from a real dragon. Yet, this very person claims to have no heart, demonstrating his true cold-bloodedness.

This undoubtedly fueled Lin Ye's anger even more. His eyes grew colder, and he was eager to utterly annihilate Herzog. Seeing this, Herzog asked tremblingly:

"Lin Ye, who exactly are you? How do you know everything that happened to me in the past? What kind of power do you have behind you?"

Herzog's face was filled with terror.

At this moment, he realized why Yuan Zhinü had suddenly betrayed him. It must have been because Lin Ye had informed the Dragon King of this beforehand, which led to this reversal.

Not only that, Herzog was very puzzled. Who exactly was Lin Ye? How could he know everything about him so clearly? And how could he be so young? If we were to follow the timeline, he couldn't possibly be someone from the same era as him.

When Herzog learned that Lin Ye truly knew everything, he thought of a key figure: the semi-transparent figure that had appeared deep in the Arctic strata. The figure had appeared there like a ghost and also knew about the deal Bondarev had made with him and everything else.

The other party later disappeared there, vanishing without a trace. Herzog subconsciously recalled that figure. Decades had passed since then, and Lin Ye was so young, so it was definitely not that figure. But even if it wasn't that figure, it must have some close connection with that figure.

Or perhaps they belong to the same organization or even the same family, and share intelligence, which is why they know everything about Herzog. In any case, all those secrets from back then, as well as everything about themselves, have been completely exposed.

"Lord Herzog, you really talk too much. But what good does knowing so much do you? Besides, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You don't need to know where I come from, and you don't need to know. You only need to know one thing, and that is, 'Herzog, I am your Wallbreaker.'"

Lin Ye said in a profound tone.

"Wallbreaker? What wallbreaker? What wall will it break?"

Herzog was even more puzzled.

He couldn't understand a word Lin Ye was saying, and that frustrating feeling returned. Sometimes he felt like he and Lin Ye were from two different eras, which always made the cunning Herzog feel depressed.

Because when he wants to attack someone, he usually detects their weaknesses from their words or actions. He needs to find these weaknesses to prescribe the right medicine and achieve quick results. But now, Herzog is repeatedly being thwarted and running into obstacles in Lin Ye's hands. He can't even react to what Lin Ye is saying.

"Of course I'm going to break down your walls! Doctor, I've already said it, you don't need to understand, you don't need to know. You just need to know that I'm here to judge you. Don't worry, I will definitely torture you in the most authentic way, but I won't kill you. I will only torture you little by little, just like I did with Tachibana Masamune. I will pour all my passion into you."

Hehehe, the little flying stick is coming! Are you ready?

Lin Ye's tone was full of amusement.

He was eager to make a big splash.

"No, no, no, Lord Lin Ye, please don't do this. Please restrain yourself. We don't need to get to such a tragic situation. Since you are not Bondarev, you must not know the secret of how to create Deadpool. I not only have the manufacturing plan for the snake-shaped Deadpool, but I also have the manufacturing plan for the dragon-shaped Deadpool."

Furthermore, I've already figured out how to create these Deadpools. If you're willing to cooperate with me, we can remain steadfast allies. I'll hand over all the secrets I know; I can even reveal the method for creating the Snake Deadpool right now—that's my sincerity.

Herzog was under immense pressure, yet at this moment he still wanted to form an alliance with Lin Ye.

Just thinking about the suffering that Tachibana Masamune had endured made his scalp tingle. That was only mental suffering; now that it was happening to him, one could imagine how devastating it would be.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Herzog, it seems you haven't realized your situation yet. Everything you have is mine now, so there's no need for you to bargain with me. Because when I start torturing you, I will take everything you own without leaving a single penny behind." Lin Ye sneered with narrowed eyes.

Herzog suddenly clutched his chest.

"Lin Ye, you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong..."

Snap!

Before Herzog could finish speaking, Lin Ye appeared in a flash, kicked Herzog to the ground, and then stomped hard on the man's chest.

"The main course is about to begin..."

Lin Ye put the white gloves back on, a bright smile on his face.

"Lord Lin Ye, I hope you can calm down. Don't you want to share the throne of the world with me? Please, stop trampling me! Let me catch my breath! Ahhh!"

Herzog's tone was filled with pain.

Just now, Lin Ye stepped on his chest and ground it hard, causing his chest to burst open and completely collapse.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow with a playful expression and said, "Sorry, it's not that I lack ambition, but actually my ass isn't that big. The World Throne is indeed a bit exaggerated, and if I were to travel with a demon like you, I'd really worry that one day you'd suddenly eat me up."

"No, no, no, that won't happen. Although I am a demon, demons also need partners and allies. Lin Ye, I need your help and strength, and I can give you strength in return. We will support each other on the road to the hegemony of the Dragon Clan world. We will be the most steadfast allies until we reach the end of that throne."

Herzog quickly said, almost shouting, as if afraid his tone wasn't sincere enough.

"Until the end of the throne, if you really reach it, does that mean it's time for you to turn against it? After all, you claim to have demons, so how could you tolerate other companions sharing that power with you? Demons are selfish and greedy creatures. Anyone who dares to covet their things will be devoured without a trace. Doctor, you should have the right to speak on this point. Why are you saying such ridiculous things here?"

Lin Ye said coldly.

Herzog is a truly evil demon, as clearly explained in the Dragon Raja storyline. Even Genjiro and Genjiro were once completely manipulated by him.

Until finally, they were completely destroyed in that cold red well, which was also the tragedy of the two brothers. They should have become the most dazzling stars in the world, but they fell into obscurity because of Herzog.

"No, if we really reach the end of the throne, then we can say that there are no more of our kind left in this world. Demons also fear loneliness, and demons have been mired in hell for countless years. They know the taste of loneliness, so they crave warmth more than anyone or anything else."

The companions who can walk with him to the throne must be those who can give him strength and warmth, so I will never abandon you, or even betray you, no matter what.

Herzog's words were so sincere that I almost burst into tears.

"Hahaha, Doctor, let's stop talking. Look, your words have made me burst into laughter."

Lin Ye laughed loudly, completely unconcerned.

He laughed so hard he was doubled over, and his laughter also infected Erii on the other side.

At this moment, the girl was venting her anger on the remaining snake-like dead servants, the power of judgment transforming into a rain of tangible swords and spears that relentlessly slashed at the dead servants.

Meanwhile, Genjiro and Genjiro had already finished their battle.

It's not that they were particularly fierce, but rather that the rest of the snake-shaped dead servants had already been completely taken down by Erii. These dead servants had become Erii's targets for venting, and in a sense, they were her prey. At this moment, the girl exuded a cold and powerful aura. Even Genjiro and Genjiro didn't dare to join in rashly, so what followed was completely Erii's personal show.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's laughter, Erii couldn't help but giggle.

She was happy as long as Lin Ye was happy.

Herzog is still struggling.

"Since you don't believe me, then I have nothing more to say. No matter how much you shout, you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. But Lord Lin Ye, you must understand one thing: absolute power is equivalent to absolute authority. If you don't have that authority, what will you use to protect your loved ones?"

You keep saying you want to live a stable and happy life with the girl you love, and even your future children, but is this stability really something you can have like an ordinary person? Both you and Erii have powerful dragon blood, which is like prey shining in the darkness. In the deepest part of the darkness, there are countless things that covet you. They are all whispering, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, ready to pounce and devour you at any moment.

When that day comes, you will find that the kind of stability you desire is simply a pipe dream, a dream so unrealistic it's laughable. It might even turn into a tragedy because you lack the absolute power to protect it. And when that day truly arrives, you will understand that all of this tragedy was caused by your ignorance today, because you could have avoided this tragedy.

"If you agree to our alliance today, the two of us will surely reach the pinnacle of that throne. And even if you don't want to sit on it, as long as you help me achieve this wish, I will guarantee you a stable and happy future. I swear."

Herzog said earnestly.

Moreover, his attitude became extremely firm, even solemn, towards the end.

Herzog knew that intimidation wouldn't instill fear in Lin Ye. Although he couldn't fathom Lin Ye's personality, he knew that Lin Ye longed for a stable and happy future with the girl he loved, and this longing became Herzog's only weapon.

And he made perfect use of this point.

Lin Ye fell silent.

It was this silence that seemed to give Herzog an opportunity, and he couldn't help but continue, "Lin Ye, I know you love Erii deeply, but you should also know that there is an incomplete White King bloodline flowing in this girl's body, and this bloodline is always at risk of going out of control."

I know that Erii took the bloodline potion of the third generation before, but that kind of cure is only a temporary fix. Sooner or later, the girl's own bloodline will erupt in chaos again. You have to believe me, because Tachibana Masamune is my shadow warrior. I controlled everything. I also know Erii's life status.

I know better how to heal Erii. Otherwise, if we continue to delay, Erii will eventually become a killing machine, without a self, and will never remember the boy she loves.

Do you really want to lose her like this?

If you don't want to, look at me, Lord Lin Ye. Rest assured, as long as you agree to cooperate with me, I will definitely show my sincerity. I can give you a sincere guarantee that the incomplete White King bloodline in Erii's body will eventually be completed. Not only will she no longer be troubled by her own bloodline disorder, but she will also become stronger because of the completion of her bloodline.

I can't guarantee that Erii will become the new White Queen, but she will at least be stronger than she is now. At the same time, her bloodline will become very stable. I believe that no matter how powerful the enemies you face in the future, with your and Erii's power, no one will be able to destroy you.

Herzog continued.

It must be said that every word he spoke was very sincere, and his tone was extremely solemn, especially since every word he uttered struck a chord with Lin Ye.

"Doctor, are you really that confident? You are now under my feet, and I can take your life at any moment. It's really not convincing for someone like you to talk about power and thrones."

Lin Ye couldn't help but mock the other party.

As for Herzog's "heartfelt words," he only had two words in his mind: "Heh."
