Shirou's clones number 30 million

Finding that Nagano Jinzo was not as flustered as the others, but rather appeared confident, Tapchimi's opinion of him rose even higher.

“Is that even a question? We’ve all been captured by aliens.” Nagano Jinzo paused, then sighed. “I’m no longer the prime minister, just call me Nagano.”

“Mr. Nagano, have you seen my companion? A max-level death mage, and he’s well-equipped.”

"Wait a moment, let me ask."

Nagano Jinzo called over a jailer from a distance, whispered a few words to him, and nodded slightly.

Soon after, the jailer returned, bringing with him news of the flying squirrel.

"Your companion is called Flying Squirrel, right? He's been taken to the lab, apparently to assist with some experiments."

"Huh...? How could this be..."

Tapi looked bewildered, shocked by his companion's predicament and surprised by Nagano Jinzo's interpersonal skills.

Why is there no response when I call out to the jailer?

As soon as he called out, someone came over immediately.

"Mr. Nagano, do you know where we're being taken?"

"We will be sent to the planet Saricton to mine, which is a mineral-rich planet full of precious minerals."

"How did Mr. Nagano know? I asked them just now, but no one paid any attention to me."

"Well... that's how adults socialize."

Nagano Jinzo smiled but did not offer any further explanation.

It must be said that knowledge and experience can bring wealth.

Before boarding the spaceship, he used his eloquence to exchange a few words with Tsukimi Shirou, gathering a lot of information and also obtaining the position of a squad leader.

Although it was just a casual remark by Shirou Tsukimi, the fact that he was personally appointed by King Deviluke's son-in-law was enough to greatly shock the ordinary soldiers on the spaceship.

Using this as leverage, and taking advantage of the powerful figure's influence, Nagano Jinzang managed to get by quite well among the prisoners.

At the very least, Tapimit and the others were in a multi-person room, while Nagano Jinzo was in a single room.

As for the next step, he has already thought it through.

He'll mine for a while to try and get a reduced sentence, while also getting on good terms with Tsukimi Shirou and waiting for Kurokawa-kun to calm down.

"Speaking of which, your companion, the Death Mage, was sent away as experimental material, right? I might be able to bring him over to mine with me."

"Hmm... then I'll trouble you, Mr. Nagano."

Tajimi couldn't tell whether mining or serving as experimental material was better.

However, he instinctively felt that it would be better for everyone to act together.

Whether it's mining or jailbreaking.

Chapter 337 What kind of victory is this?

Chapter 337, Section 338: What kind of victory is this?

"So...so many people!"

When numerous clones of Shirou filled the skies above the city, Gazef was immediately bewildered.

Where am I? What am I doing?

At that moment, one of Adris's shadow clones saw him.

The streets were filled with cries of pain, and Gerdov, who seemed completely unaffected, naturally stood out.

On a whim, I greeted him.

"Wow... I never expected you to be such a good person. I had no idea."

"I didn't expect that either."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Gerd's face as he thought about the current state of the royal family and couldn't help but sigh.

“I have always considered myself a ruthless killer, but I never expected it to turn out like this.”

"There's no need to overthink it. If someone has never done anything wrong and has never killed anyone indiscriminately, isn't that what makes them a good person?"

"Uh...you're being too kind to me."

That's true, but I really feel ashamed of myself.

"Haha... You seem to be looking for someone. Do you need any help?"

"I wouldn't dare trouble you."

Gerdoff hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke again:

"I want to challenge you. Please let me see your greater power!"

"Oh...? Good ambition. I never refuse any battle."

Adris (his clone) changed the subject and laughed again:

"However, the difference is too great, you can't see anything."

"I want to become stronger, I want to become even stronger. Even if you laugh at me for overestimating myself, it doesn't matter. Please let me witness power that surpasses the limits of humanity."

"That's only natural, how could I possibly laugh at you for that?"

Adris thought for a moment, then casually waved his hand, and a branch flew from a tree not far away.

"I'll fight with this. If you can make me move even half a step, or touch my body, then I'll consider it a loss."

"In that case, please enlighten me!"

Gerdav drew his sword and looked at him with utmost seriousness.

A few seconds later, cold sweat involuntarily beaded on Gerdov's forehead.

What's going on? I can't find a way to start. What is this unusual feeling of fear?

I never imagined that I would one day have such a strong sense of fear.

No, I can't wait any longer, or I'll gradually lose the courage to wield my sword.

Gerdov gritted his teeth and swung his sword down from the front.

A fierce duel ensued between tree branches and a sharp sword. To be fair, Adris did not use Armament Haki or enhancement magic.

Given the sturdiness of the tree branch, if it were to collide with a sharp sword, it would be cut down instantly.

Therefore, Adris skillfully used the branch to strike the weakest point of the sword's blade repeatedly, while simultaneously guiding the sword away.

In just a few seconds, dozens of bloody welts appeared on Gerdav's body, as if he had been whipped by tree branches.

"What kind of sword move is this?"

"The Tai Chi sword technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, although I would like to say it that way, is only because your speed is too slow. I can easily deflect your sword by touching the blade."

Adris paused for a moment, then continued:

"Even the sharpest sword has its limitations; there are places it can't hit a person, like the hilt and the blade. Your speed is like a snail crawling in front of me, incredibly slow."

"The speed difference is too great. Your sword is no better than a fire poker in front of me."

Is the difference really that big?

Gerdoff frowned, constantly thinking of a way to win.

Normal attacks seem unlikely to be effective; it appears that only tactical approaches will be effective in order to win.

If the opponent moves or touches his body, he wins.

"Again!"

Using the cover of continuous thrusts, Gerdav leaped behind Adris and slashed at his back with his sword.

As expected, the blade was deflected again.

Despite being attacked from behind and without the opponent making any turning motion, the defense was impeccable, as if the opponent had eyes in the back of their head.

We won!

In the next instant, Gerdav suddenly drew his sword and sliced ​​off a loose thread from the hem of Adris's clothes.

Sensing the slight drop in the broken wire, Adris couldn't help but laugh.

"Well done, then you win."

"Huh...? How did I win?" Gazef looked completely bewildered.

The loose thread was so small that he didn't even see it.

Of course, even if he did see it, he couldn't possibly consider it his victory.

"Haha...Aren't you happy? You've trimmed the loose thread from the hem of my clothes."

Gerdov was slightly taken aback, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

"What kind of victory is this? I didn't even touch you."

"No, you've already won; it's a tactical victory."

"Can you...hear my thoughts?"

"Well, it's not mind reading; it doesn't reach that level. However, the difference is too great; it's actually not much different from mind reading."

Adrian paused, then smiled and said:

"You said before that you wanted to witness power beyond human limits, right? Well then, I'll make an exception and let you see it."

The next moment, Gerdov found himself in space, surrounded by constantly flying meteorites, with a very beautiful planet in the distance.

Of course, limited by his knowledge and experience, he had no idea where he was or what a planet was.

However, his intuition told him that the huge spherical object in the distance was his home.

'That is...?'

The planet suddenly began to move, hurtling toward the sun at an incredibly terrifying speed, like a rocket with a tail.

Soon, it collided with the sun, producing a massive explosion.
