He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

Few people know that the head of the renowned Spencer family is actually a woman...

"Did the mission fail?" The head of the Spencer family asked in a questioning tone, as if to confirm it.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch! The mission failed, and the Philosopher's Stone bullet was also taken by the target's bodyguard!" The hook-nosed middle-aged man lowered his head in shame.

"I need an explanation." The noblewoman picked up the Earl Grey tea beside her, took a small sip, and her emerald green eyes, which gleamed with a faint light, revealed no emotion.

"The intelligence for this mission was wrong! Our team didn't even see the target!" The middle-aged man with the hooked nose took a deep breath. "The target has an extremely powerful bodyguard. According to my estimation... that bodyguard's bloodline has reached S-level!"

"Our fight with that bodyguard was nothing short of a one-sided annihilation! Although we nominally held him off for over ten minutes, those ten minutes were all just conversation; the actual fighting time was definitely no more than 30 seconds! He ended the fight in an instant!"

"Is that so?" the lady asked casually. "Do you have a photo of that bodyguard?"

"Yes! I took pictures during the battle! I've already uploaded the photos to the family's terminal."

The lady didn't speak; she simply raised her hand gracefully, and the butler standing beside her immediately presented her with a tablet.

The image shown above is clearly a scene of Tang Yu fighting against Spencer's team.

"Is this the boy you're fighting?" The lady waved her tablet in front of the camera.

“Yes, it’s him!” The middle-aged man with the hooked nose nodded with great certainty.

“Interesting…” A thoughtful look flashed in the noblewoman’s eyes. “A freshman who only had an A-rank bloodline when he entered school has now transformed into an S-rank bloodline! And the change in his Word of Power… Hilbert Jean Angers, what dangerous little tricks are you up to?”

After muttering to herself for a while, the lady waved her hand, "You should also have surgery. A ruptured tendon is no small injury! After you recover... have the housekeeper arrange a leisurely job for you, and you can live out the rest of your life in peace!"

The middle-aged man with the hooked nose showed a slight change in expression, but he said nothing, only humbly lowering his head.

……

When the communication was completely shut down, the elegant lady finally lost her air of authority. She rubbed her temples with a slight headache and gave instructions to the butler beside her.

"Go and contact the other elder families for me. We need to hold a meeting to discuss this! Oh, and there's no need to contact the Elizabethan family; that family has completely sided with Angers!"

“Your will, Master!” The steward bowed and left the room.

After a moment's thought, the lady pressed another button.

The door slowly opened, and a woman who looked like a secretary walked in.

"Tina, I remember that recently she's been representing her family at the Kassel College board meetings, right?"

"Yes, Master! It was indeed Miss Devina and her assistant who were in charge."

"Call Divina over for me, I need to ask her something."

The secretary nodded, bowed, and left the room.

……

"Mother, what do you need me for?" A few minutes later, a pretty young girl skipped and hopped into the room.

Before you see him, you hear his voice.

"Divina is here, please have a seat!" The noblewoman's eyes softened the moment she saw the young girl.

The girl slumped onto the sofa, skillfully poured some black tea from a teapot, and then took a delightful sip.

"Divina, you've been handling the board meetings at Kassel College all this time, haven't you?" the noblewoman asked softly.

"I was handling it, that's right! Did something go wrong?"

“No, not at all!” The lady shook her head. “I wanted to ask you, has that old man Angers shown any unusual behavior recently?”

“Unusual behavior…” Divina thought for a moment, “There shouldn’t be! Principal Angers is still the same as before.”

"I see... Have you ever heard of a student named Tang Yu?"

“Tang Yu…” Divina pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. “I’ve heard of that name! He’s a legendary figure in the academy. He carried out the mission at the Three Gorges Dam, where he extinguished the Bronze and Fire King who was in the process of reviving.”

"Also, he was involved in the mission to revive the dragon embryos near the Neon Sea!"

"How much do you know about him?" the noblewoman asked softly, staring at her daughter.

“Not much!” Divina shook her head. “Tang Yu is a freshman who just enrolled this year, and we don’t know most of his information!”

While the mother and daughter were talking, the butler had already contacted the heads of several other families.

“Come on, Divina! Come with me to talk to the other family heads. You’re not young anymore; it’s time to learn how to be a qualified family head!”

“Isn’t there still you, Mother? It’s not too late to wait a few more years!” Divina smiled and leaned against the noblewoman.

……

In the Spencer family's meeting room.

The noblewoman sat regally in the seat representing the "head of the household," with several huge screens placed in front of her.

The portraits of the other family heads appeared on the screen.

"Head of the Spencer family, have you summoned us this time because you have something important to discuss?" An aged male voice came from the screen.

"If it weren't for something urgent, do you think I'd want to see the faces of a bunch of stinking men?" The noblewoman stroked the Persian cat in her hand, then said, "Do you all remember that girl who could control 'divine power'?"

184 The Presbyterian Church's "Ultimate Measures"

"Is that the head of the Japanese Snake Clan, the girl with the Word of Judgment?" a young man with a gloomy face said in a low voice. "Could it be that the Spencer family has already captured her first?"

“No…” the lady shook her head. “Our intelligence was flawed! That girl was accompanied by an extremely powerful bodyguard, a freshman at Kassel College!”

"How strong can a freshman be?" another family scoffed, their voice full of disdain. "Has the Spencer family become so weak that they can't even handle a freshman?"

"No, that boy named Tang Yu is not an ordinary freshman! His power is beyond imagination! He once participated in the Three Gorges mission to annihilate the Bronze and Fire Kings and played a key role in it!" The noblewoman looked at the group of men on the screen, her expression neither sad nor happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have accessed Tang Yu's enrollment records! When he first enrolled, his bloodline was only barely at the A level, and his ability was the Word Spirit of the Water King within the Ocean and Water King's domain."

"But judging from his battle with Spencer's team, that boy's bloodline has probably reached S-rank now... Moreover, his ability has also become a wind-attribute spell in the Sky and Wind King's domain."

"Is this reasonable?" On the second to last screen on the right, an old man with a kind face and a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand spoke softly.

"Changes in bloodline can be explained by the Lionheart Society's 'Blood Burst,' but changes in incantations... forgive me for being frank, I've never heard of such a thing before!"

"No, you've heard of it!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, a emaciated old man, whose skin was wrapped around his bones and who looked like a dried corpse, appeared on the screen next to him and replied in a hoarse voice.

"Have you forgotten? Three hundred years ago, the Secret Party used the dragon power contained in the bones of three sub-species to create a monster... a hybrid king!"

Just then, the noblewoman spoke up: "You should have received intelligence a few days ago that the noble 'White Emperor' has fallen in Japan! I estimate that... the White Emperor's awakening this time was too hasty, and he may not have had time to prepare a 'cocoon' for himself."

"Therefore, the remains He left behind are the Dragon Bone Cross! That old fellow Angers most likely used the White Emperor's Dragon Bone Cross to create one or even more hybrid monarchs!"

Although the lady's guess was slightly off from the truth, it was pretty close to the truth!

No one who can become the head of a family is easy to deal with!

"This is a bit difficult..." After hearing the noblewoman's words, the other family heads fell silent.

Even they don't have any good means to restrain something as powerful as a "hybrid monarch" that is beyond reason.

"Gentlemen, how much of a bet do you think that girl who holds the power of 'judgment' is worth?" The noblewoman glanced at the other four family heads before asking softly.

“‘Judgment’ is the power closest to God, and I think… it’s worth risking our ‘ultimate means’ against the Dragon King!” The old man holding prayer beads was the first to speak.

"Let's vote by raising hands! This is no small matter!" The old man, who looked like a dried corpse, spoke second.

……

The vote by a show of hands took less than three minutes, and the final result was... 3 to 2! The affirmative side narrowly defeated the negative side.

"Then... this vote is passed! Heads of the family, you may go and prepare the warrants to activate the final measures!" the noblewoman said.

"Since this matter was proposed by the Spencer family, then let the Spencer family head handle it entirely! The Dawn family's warrant will arrive in half an hour!" The old man, who looked like a dried corpse, said calmly.

“The Spencer family will handle all of this!” The lady smiled slightly, showing her confidence. “Alright, let’s end the meeting here today! I’m going to have afternoon tea with my darling daughter. Please make yourselves at home.”

"Hehe..." The old man, who looked like a dried corpse, let out a low laugh, and then closed the video call.

……

Ten minutes later, at the Spencer family's villa complex.

The head of the Spencer family was already seated with his daughter in the sunny tea room.

Divina held a milky white bone china teacup, pretending to drink tea, but she was clearly distracted.

"Devina, are you still thinking about that meeting?" the lady asked, looking at her daughter.

“Yes, Mother!” Divina put down her teacup. “Mother, what was this ‘ultimate means’ that the heads of the family were talking about in that meeting just now?”

"So this is what my precious daughter is curious about!" The lady stroked Divina's long hair. "This is something you shouldn't normally know, but the situation has been a bit turbulent lately, so I'll make an exception and tell you!"

"'The final means' is a tradition that has been passed down in the Secret Society for thousands of years. When most of the powerful dragon slayers are about to die, the alchemists in the council of elders will purify their bloodline, making them as close as possible to the 'dragon' side. When their bloodline is about to break through the 'critical blood limit', the alchemists will end the dragon slayers' lives."

“Biologically speaking, they are dead! But alchemically speaking, they are still alive! The dragons’ powerful vitality has given them a kind of Deadpool-like ability, but they are not as bloodthirsty as Deadpool.”

"Normally, they are kept in ice caves with extremely low temperatures. The low temperature inhibits metabolism, keeping their bodies in perfect peak condition! When needed, the elders will implant mission objectives into them, and then... they will complete the implanted objectives at all costs!"

"This is too cruel to them!" Divina covered her mouth, her expression full of pity. "They were all heroes, why can't they even rest in peace after death?"

“This is the law of this world!” The noblewoman poured a cup of tea for her daughter. “Divina, when you sit in my position, you will know… mercy is not necessary for survival; cruelty is the eternal truth of this world!”

Seeing that Divina was still somewhat absent-minded, the noblewoman shook her head.

"Divina, these are things you'll have to face in the future! You need to learn to accept them... Okay, that's enough for today! You don't look well, go back to your room and rest!"

“Yes, Mother!” Divina nodded gently to her mother, and then turned back as she was about to leave the tea room.

185 Monster Under the Ice

“Oh, Mother, I have one last question I want to know… that girl’s Word of Power is just the Judgment of Serial Number 111.”

“While power of this level is rare among hybrids, we can still find a few if we look hard enough! Since this power isn’t unique, why should we go to all the trouble of capturing that girl?”

The lady was slightly taken aback when she heard her daughter's question.

“Divina, nothing can be judged by appearances alone! 'Judgment' may seem like just a very powerful and dangerous Word of Power on the surface, but in reality... Judgment is the power closest to God!”

"In the notes of ancient alchemists, 'Judgment' is referred to as 'death solidified into reality'! As long as we decipher the mystery contained within this incantation, we can master the power of death! And thus ascend to the realm of the gods. This incantation of Judgment is only in the hands of Tsukuyomi Mikoto of the Snake Clan throughout history, and this generation's Tsukuyomi Mikoto... is our mission target!"

"Mother, you're not joking, are you?" Divina's eyes were glazed over, her gaze revealing obvious disbelief.
