Terra's Magnetic Field

Three months later, Ferdinand returned to Colombia and perched on the lightning rod on the top floor of the new headquarters of Rhine Life like a bird, with the cape behind him split into wings.

He did not say anything to Bella and the others who came to greet him, and his face showed no expression.

It was not known whether his power influenced the celestial phenomena or God was responding to his mood at the time, but the sun had not appeared in Colombia since he had stayed on the lightning rod. Thick dark clouds blocked all light in the sky, and people spread rumors that this was a sign of the coming of the "end of the world."

Looking at Ferdinand resting on the lightning rod, Bella and Kristen felt a kind of "charm" that only the strongest can have. They had experienced this feeling in Wan and Xiao Er in the past...

In this regard, the former employees of Ferdinand and Rhein Life Energy spontaneously stood by the lightning rod, and had a special feeling for Ferdinand, just like the believers in ancient times worshipped religious idols.

Whether it was Bella, Kristen or the people who chose to follow Ferdinand, they were all waiting for Ferdinand's reaction. No one dared to ask where he had been and what he had done for such a long time. They just waited...

Waiting silently...

Nearly a month passed like this, and Ferdinand finally spoke. He said to the people who chose to follow him:

"I want to leave Rhine Life, I want my own land, I want to declare war on [Wanchou]"

Gone. After saying this, Ferdinand flew away, leaving everyone in a daze, some going crazy and some terrified.

Kristen was completely confused about what he meant. "Why do we need to go to war with Wanchou just because we need our own land? Are the two related?"

Indeed, as a [normal person], it was difficult for Christen to understand the lunatic's thoughts. But Bella could understand it, and then explained to Christen:

"He needs to [establish his authority]. He wants to prove his strength by challenging those recognized as strong by the world, and prove that he has the capital to dominate."

Yes, when a powerful wild wolf goes to a new place, if it wants to become the leader of this place, it must prove its strength to other wild wolves by challenging the original wolf king in this area.

Ferdinand challenged Wanchou in his personal capacity and threatened to destroy the five major mobile cities of Yan Country, including Longmen, if Wanchou did not keep his promise. Prior to this, he had already proved that he did have the destructive power by detonating a dormant volcano in the outer sea of ​​​​the East.

Facing Ferdinand's provocation, Wanchou was not angry but found it interesting. On the day of the battle, he went alone to the place agreed with Ferdinand, the asteroid [Axis] outside the orbit of Terra, to fight against this strong man who was unknown to the world.

The war lasted for seven days and seven nights, and the chain explosions caused by the battle could be seen clearly even from the surface. Meteorites kept falling from outside the atmosphere, and "fire rain" fell from the sky from time to time. This war affected almost all countries and caused tens of millions of deaths and injuries.

Seven days later, Wanchou did not announce the result of the battle, but he acknowledged Ferdinand's strong [identity], which was equivalent to declaring to the outside world that he had the [capital] to dominate.

So there are rumors that Ferdinand and Wan Chou tied; some people think that Wan Chou deliberately let this guy, just to make future developments more interesting; Ferdinand's fanatical followers claim that it was Ferdinand who defeated Wan Chou and [forced] the Emperor of Yan to recognize his identity and status. In short, there are many different opinions.

Afterwards, Ferdinand and his followers returned to his hometown [Syracuse]. In just half a day, he wiped out or recruited the Mafia and other local forces entrenched there, and made this country his first territory.

Over the next decade, Ferdinand continued to annex neighboring countries through war and expansion, bringing the three kingdoms of [Leitania], [Kazdel], and [Rembit] under his control. In 1092 Terra, he formally established the [Lianying Empire], becoming one of Terra's [Four Major Powers].

The other three major forces are the Yan Kingdom headed by Wanchou and its vassal states (Dongguo and Ursus); the Southern Hemisphere Federation headed by Bella and Christen (including Western countries such as Colombia, Victoria, and Casimir); and the religious alliance headed by the Holy City Lateran, including Iberia and Agor, which divides camps based on unified religious beliefs.

Since then, Terra has entered a situation of [four-way division].

Then several years passed, until now...

That’s all for today.

Volume 355: Chapter Chapter Super Beast Legion

[Mario City], one of the most prosperous cities in the world today, is as advanced and lively as the capital of Yan State and the capital of Columbia. This giant city with the size of a country is not composed of several mobile cities, but is firmly built on the land of the original [Sygura]. The [Guardian God] here has the ability to protect it from natural disasters.

This place is the main city of the [Lianying Empire] and is also the place directly ruled by the emperor. The imperial city is located on the former territory of the Lappland family.

In the center of the city stands the tallest sculpture in the world. This majestic thing is nearly a thousand feet high, which is almost impossible to accomplish from the perspective of ordinary people.

But the owner of this place used the ability of [Material Reorganization] to complete it in just half an hour, and solidified it with his own [Strongest Power], making it so strong that it could not be destroyed naturally. The Yan Kingdom's Imperial City was also built in the same way.

The sculpture shows a large Rupert wearing a vest.

He always looks down at everything below him with his arms folded across his chest, like a giant god. His name is the same as the city, Mario, but people who are familiar with him prefer to call him by the nickname Xiaoer.

Although Xiao Er never ruled a large territory in his life and was not interested in power, Ferdinand still [posthumously] named him the first [Emperor] of the Lianying Empire after he came to power, and asked the people to respect their [father] as they respected him.

He also designated April 4 of each year, the day Xiao Er passed away, as "Moon Viewing Day", and stipulated that all people must turn off the lights and look up at the moon in commemoration.

Although Xiao Er kept a low profile throughout his life, after the bards under Ferdinand sanctified his deeds and continued to sing about them, his title of "The Strongest Man in the World" became known to everyone in the empire. This series of actions also gave rise to various types of religious personality cults. I wonder what Xiao Er himself would think if he knew about this...

Looking back at Ferdinand himself, he was sitting in the most conspicuous building in [Mario City] - the Imperial City. The open observation deck allowed him to take in the scenery in the distance. Looking at everything in front of him, the man smiled with satisfaction, showing the confidence and composure that only the strongest can have, and then lay down a little more.

Now he has abandoned the pseudonym "Ferdinand" and let others call him "Lian Ying". He also took off the film disguise of the Rhine Life period and appeared in the white-haired Rupert style. I don't know if it was accidental or intentional, but his current style is somewhat similar to that of the waiter back then, except that the ends of his hair are a little platinum-colored, and he is almost the same as the waiter.

There is a sharp diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead, it seems that he has now been able to normalize the power of the giant; there are two dark red stripes on each side of his cheeks, he has made the battle marks permanent.

The wall behind the throne is carved with his giant form. Perhaps to add a sense of sacredness, there are burning braziers on both sides of the throne, and Ferdinand's figure and the throne are hidden behind the shadows.

"As a second-level employee, I don't have access to many confidential matters at Rhine Life, but there are rumors that the top management is planning something called the [Ultra Beast Army]..."

Ferdinand was listening to his subordinates who had just returned from Colombia reporting on the situation of Rhine Life. The middle-aged Wolper man kneeling on one knee at the steps in front of him was a spy he sent to Rhine Life, codenamed [Flying Fox]. In just five years, this guy had become a second-level employee of Rhine Life.

"Oh? Super beast?" Ferdinand was quite interested in this word. His hands placed on both sides of the throne tapped the armrests unconsciously.

"Yes, super beasts... are short for super beasts. They are biological weapons made by [transforming] captured and manufactured beasts using existing scientific and technological means. They have two to three times the combat capabilities of ordinary beasts and are more controllable."

"Haha~ Bella and the others are actually doing this kind of thing..." Ferdinand held his chin with one hand, with a slight smile on his face. "My loyal subordinate, I am very satisfied with your performance. The undercover work must have put a lot of pressure on you. If you want anything as compensation, just ask, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"I...I dare not. It is my great honor to work for you, the Emperor. How dare I ask for favors from you?" Feihu was flattered. His knees and fists were shaking on the ground. He didn't even dare to look up at Ferdinand.

"Very good, very good, very good..." Ferdinand was very satisfied with his subordinates' reactions. He then asked, "It only took you five years to rise from a nobody to a second-level employee. You must have done a lot for Rhine Life. Bella and the others must not have treated you unfairly, right?"

The ordinary words concealed murderous intent. Feihu, with his keen sense of smell, naturally smelled the hidden meaning of Ferdinand's words and immediately explained:

"Does the Emperor think that I will be bribed by the benefits of Rhine Life? This is absolutely impossible... If I really betrayed, how could I come back? Moreover, my family lives in the Empire..."

"Haha~" Ferdinand chuckled, "Yes, Feihu, I believe you are smart enough. Since you know the pros and cons, you will not easily betray me."

"Yes, Emperor, you are always wise."

"Unless Bella and the others offer you an offer you can't refuse... Feihu, how is the latest [Originium Chip] working in your brain right now? To what extent has it increased your strength? How dare you have the confidence to deceive even me?"

Ferdinand still spoke in a calm tone, and it seemed that he had no intention of blaming Feihu. But these calm words had frightened Feihu to the point of losing his mind. He was sweating profusely and his body was shaking non-stop.

“Emperor…I…a villain…” Feihu’s brain was working fast. He tried his best to defend himself but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

"Feihu, greed is human nature, even I can't avoid it. Moreover, after the [transformation], I have gained extraordinary strength and can enjoy upper-class treatment in Columbia. How can I blame you for betraying me and joining Bella and the others?"

"Reform? ... Emperor, you don't

Are you kidding me?" Feihu still tried to argue at this point, but Ferdinand was too lazy to play along and directly exposed him:

"Stop insulting my wisdom with lies. Show your true colors now."

“Ah?” Feihu was surprised that Ferdinand could actually see through his [true face]. It seemed that the [Shadow Crystal] on his forehead did have the [Power of the Sky Eye] in myths and legends…

[The power of the Sky Eye]. Although most strong men with a power of more than 200,000 horses have the ability to see through everything around them and predict the future, this is not as direct as the real [Sky Eye]. With the sharp crystal on his forehead, Ferdinand can not only see through the [essence] of all things and some things deep in the [soul], but can also predict the future to a certain extent.

Now that he has been exposed, Feihu can no longer keep it secret. He knows that Ferdinand will not let the betrayer go. Now he has to show his [true identity] and fight the enemy with [full strength]!

Feihu, who was kneeling on one knee, immediately jumped up from the ground, a purple [war pattern] appeared on his face, and he raised his hands and let out a strange cry of "foooo!"

Then a light flashed on his chest, and the strange flash enveloped him, and expanded rapidly, instantly bursting the entire palace. Feihu, which was originally so small that it was not worth mentioning, turned into a giant beast that was 65 meters tall and weighed 78,000 tons!

That is [Super Beast]...

This [transformation] is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of matter, just like Xiao Er, Ferdinand and others transformed into [giants] out of thin air. I didn't expect that Rhine Life would master this kind of black technology and use it in the military.

"Hee~" At the moment the palace was blown up, Ferdinand leaped into the sky. He looked down at the huge thing that was beginning to wreak havoc on the city, his expression still at ease, like a child seeing a new toy.

The [Super Beast] that Feihu transformed into was bloated, with a nymph-like abdomen, a bird-like head, and a thin single horn on top of its head. Its arms were covered with spikes, and its back was covered with a shell like an Originium worm, which glowed faintly in the sunset.

[One-horned Ultra Beast. Baksim] is the name given to this thing by Rhine Life, and it is the only individual they can currently put into production. It is formed by the fusion of a giant Originium worm and a captured cosmic beast, and it uses a wealth of firepower to cover up its own low output. With its thick shell, it is like a [mobile fortress], and is mainly used to complete the task of destroying hostile cities.

"Ga Ga~Ga——————" The flying fox that turned into Baksim roared in the sunset. Every step forward of this thing produced an earthquake-like movement, and its heavy body caused the concrete ground to sink.

Seeing this, people on the street fled in all directions, screaming and wailing one after another.

Feihu has lost his basic human thinking ability at this point. The moment he transformed into a super beast, his brain was left with only the primitive destructive impulse of a living creature. At this moment, there is no way to stop this destruction except to completely destroy him.

The tactical missiles that poured out from Baksim's arms and nose turned this prosperous place into ruins and a sea of ​​fire. Although the police system in the city was functioning, the beam cannon with only [300,000 HP] obviously could not do any harm to this big guy, and could not even slow down his speed...

As the ruler of this place, Ferdinand did not take action to stop it immediately. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at the Purgatory below him, observing Baksim's movements and steps, and evaluating the destructive power and threat level of this thing.

"The strength is roughly between 500,000 and 600,000 horsepower, and the flow rate is at the standard behemoth level. Although it has no intelligence, if it is mass-produced, it will be a force that cannot be underestimated, enough to create chaos and disrupt the enemy's judgment during a war."

"It's troublesome but not worth my headache."

Baksim's missile grazed the second colossus in the center of the city, and the explosion left no trace. It seemed that Ferdinand was not bragging.

After evaluating it, Ferdinand was about to [Execute] it. He concentrated his strength in his right fist, and a strong light comparable to the sun appeared in the air. Then, Ferdinand's giant right arm struck out with the strongest power he currently possessed:

"Nine hundred and ninety thousand horsepower! Continuous Shadow Explosion Fist!!!"

Nine hundred and ninety thousand horsepower! This was very close to the one million horsepower of the [Self-Destruction Realm], and Ferdinand had already mastered it without fully transforming. It seemed that his power had grown amazingly over the years, and now he was a [character] who could be compared with the extremely powerful Nian and Wan...

At the moment of punching, the shadow of a giant appeared behind Ferdinand, and this fatal punch hit the horn on Baksim's head! The explosive punch blasted into his body from beginning to end, and in just a moment, the huge thing of more than 60 meters was shattered into pieces! !

The terrifying, powerful, and invincible punches delivered by a nearly perfect warrior can reach the [strongest] power!

Poor Baksim disappeared before he could even scream. His huge body turned into a powerful

The fragments of the debris floated into the air, looking like snow from a distance.

Ferdinand reached out and sucked something left in the flying fox fragment into his palm. It was a microchip the size of a grain of rice. Made of Originium crystals, it could maximize the user's potential and brain power, maximizing their power.

This thing is one of Ferdinand's inventions at Rhine Life. He invested a lot of manpower and material resources to successfully develop the prototype, and spent countless efforts. Now when his successor, the successor of his child, lies in his palm, an indescribable feeling arises spontaneously. He can feel that this chip is more advanced, stable, and more valuable for scientific research than what he developed back then.

"Originium No. 9... It's already the ninth generation..."

After saying that, Ferdinand clenched his fist and crushed the delicate object. Then he opened his hand and let the fragments fly in the sunset. Then he took a deep breath. The air at high altitude was very fresh.

The people below, who had already settled down, discovered the emperor standing in the sky, and cheered heartily after the emperor displayed his divine power.

In this fanatical atmosphere, Ferdinand fully basked in the warmth brought to him by power. He opened his arms like a god, embracing everything that belonged to him...

everything…………

"Father, do you see this? This is everything that belongs to me... The people cheer for me, they worship me and love me fanatically, while people in other places are afraid and terrified of me... At this moment, have I caught up with you?"

That’s all for today.

Postscript: Ferdinand's real name is Hati Lappland. He got the name and identity "Ferdinand" when he "usurped" a Ferlin man (Ferdinand in the original Ark) in order to join Rhine Life (refer to Char). He replaced the other's identity and infiltrated the organization, eventually climbing to a high position.

According to the recent story about the black lock and white key in Lao Mo's module, the pair of staffs were once held by a Sarkaz, who then went crazy and predicted what would happen in the future:

"A rumor began to spread in some areas of Kazdel. It was said that there was a madman who would predict impossible things to passers-by in the wilderness, such as a huge beast that would destroy our country, and the sky would one day crack and show people its true appearance..."

From this we can know that the "huge beast" in this prophecy actually refers to the super beast Bakshim, "the sky will crack" refers to Bakshim's ability to travel through time and space, and "destroying our country" actually refers to Bakshim's destruction of the Shadow Empire, after all, Kazdel has been merged.

Finally, here is a picture of Wanbao made using a certain figurine making website:

Volume 356: Chapter Chapter Terra Garbage Station

“We're no strangers to love～

You know the rules and so do I～

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of～

You wouldn't get this from any other guy～

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling, Gotta make you understand~"

It seemed to be an old Colombian song, hummed by a man in his prime. The man was tall and strong, which was rare among the people of Liberia, who were known to be slender and thin.

Dark brown hair, bangs hanging down on both sides of the cheeks, dark orange pupils, and a striking scar across the bridge of the nose. This is the "signature" of this man.

Just like everyone else who came here, they were only called by "numbers" after entering this "prison", but before that they all had their own names, and this man was no exception. Before he became "9527", he also had a resounding name, a Colombian name...

"Jaston Williams"

That's the man's name.

.

What is he doing now?

Cleaning the toilet is his daily work. At this moment, he is spraying a kind of hot domestic cleaning agent called "Mr. Muscle" on the public metal toilet in the prison activity area. This slightly corrosive substance can effectively remove the stubborn stains on the toilet.

He hummed a folk tune from his hometown while rubbing the outside of the toilet seat with a steel wool. His tall and strong body crawled on the cold floor like a giant toad. In their eyes, this dirty work had become a part of his daily life. Although he resisted it like everyone else at first, he got used to it over time. After all, people like him...

The toilet room was much quieter than other places in the prison, and it did not require the collaboration of many people to clean it. In this dim and damp little corner, Jason felt that his inner self was sublimated.

While he was rubbing the stubborn stains on the inside of the toilet bowl, he recalled some things in the past. His previous experience in Rhine Life and why he left Rhine Life later, damn... he used to be a [Second-level employee]... and why was he here now...

All of these together form a long and tortuous story, a story that belongs to "Jaston Williams". Just like everyone in Terra, they are the "protagonists" in their own lives, but they are insignificant to others.
