We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

Uesugi took a deep breath, slowly calming his excited emotions.

At this stage of his life, knowing that he still has bloodlines in the world is enough to overwhelm him with emotion and cause him to lose his composure.

Genji sighed:

"However... Erii's bloodline is extremely pure, but her bloodline is always unstable."

"Her Word of Power is called 'Judgment,' a terrifying Word of Power that even I can hardly imagine."

"This means that Erii is unable to speak at all on weekdays and can only communicate with us through her notebook."

Uesugi Koshi was stunned.

He had seen records of this in some of the archives of the Snake Clan. They were hybrids with extremely high bloodlines, and some were even born with the ability to use dragon runes.

But that language can only be used to give orders that cause someone's death.

This results in the fact that the vast majority of people with this level of bloodline are unable to speak.

Because once spoken, the power of words will be activated by the dragon script.

He had never expected his daughter to have such a high level of bloodline, and in an instant he suddenly remembered what Tachibana Masamune had said before.

Erii Uesugi's embryo was contaminated by the blood of an ancient dragon.

This contamination did indeed enhance Erii's bloodline, granting her high-level Word of Power like "Judgment," but it also brought more potentially fatal risks.

Those of the White King's bloodline, possessing 'royal blood,' typically have stable lineages and would never be susceptible to becoming death servants.

However, Erii is constantly on the verge of going out of control due to the contamination originating from the ancient dragon's embryo.

“There must be a solution,” Uesugi Kotetsu suddenly said a few minutes later.

"Since Erii was contaminated by the blood of an ancient dragon, perhaps we can find a solution from the ancient dragon embryo that sank to the bottom of the sea."

"We need to hurry up and find that Lenin again."

His gaze first fell on Genjiro, then shifted to Nagumo Ugetsu:

“Tachibana Masamune himself said that he sank the ‘Lenin’ to the bottom of the sea not far from Tokyo.”

"Have an experienced family member interrogate him later. We must get the exact location of the shipwreck out of him."

Nan Yun Yuyue nodded.

Uesugi Kotsugu's words make sense. Since Erii was contaminated by the blood of an ancient dragon, perhaps only by uncovering the secrets behind it can a complete solution be found.

"Your Excellencies, the two patriarchs," Inuyama He said, standing to the side.

“Previously, the family’s researchers reported that they detected some kind of abnormal fluctuation in the sea, and one suspicion was that it was a dragon-like creature that was recovering.”

"The Ganryu Research Institute should have stored the relevant data. Miyamoto Shio, the head of the Miyamoto family, should know more about this, as he is particularly skilled in scientific research."

Genjiro also recalled the discovery that Miyamoto Shigeo had specifically reported before.

The Ganryu Research Institute is the largest research institution of the Snake Clan, with a status and strength comparable to the Equipment Department of Kassel College. It is usually managed by the Miyamoto family.

However, its secret base was built underground at Genji Heavy Industries and was very likely damaged in today's riots. The specific situation can only be confirmed after the losses are accounted for.

But now, the group finally saw a glimmer of hope for Erii to fully recover.

now,

Although Uesugi Erii was still somewhat weak, she quietly turned to the side and looked at the group of people not far away after seeing the people who came into the room.

A hint of doubt crossed her face, as if she was still wondering if she had seen these people before.

Genjiro and Uesugi walked over and sat down on Erii's bedside.

Nan Yunyu did not disturb the warmth of their family reunion. He composed himself and looked back at his panel.

His strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Besides the [Heart Abyss], the two great authorities, [Forbidden Domain] and [Candle Illumination], have both been upgraded to LV4.

"However, 'Rebirth' has not been unlocked yet."

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

This authority has existed since he first ignited the power of words, but he has yet to find a way to activate it.

According to the rule that "the longer the cooldown, the stronger the skill", he was really curious about the effect of this authority.

"Now that I've gained another free skill point, I'll put it into 'Heart Abyss'."

After thinking for a while, Nan Yun Yu Yue finally made this decision.

【Heart Abyss: LV3 → LV4】

Wow!

A strange wave rippled from the depths of his soul, a feeling he had never experienced before.

When [Heart Abyss] was also upgraded to LV4, he felt as if his body had merged into the surrounding environment, experiencing for the first time the legendary state of "unity of man and nature".

Ancient texts from both Tokyo University and Japan record that some monks who have reached a very high level in their mind or Zen practice can have a sense of being one with the world and do not seem out of place no matter where they are.

"Could it be because all three of my powers have been upgraded to LV4?"

Nanyun Yuyue's thoughts drifted.

In the world of Dragon Raja, the number "four" is quite mysterious, containing the secrets of fate.

Four monarchs, four opportunities to trade one-quarter of one's life... and his four powers.

Perhaps it is because of this influence that, apart from the unactivated "Rebirth", the changes are so obvious when all other powers are upgraded to LV4.

Nan Yun Yu Yue felt as if streams of water were nourishing her soul and the depths of her heart.

Unlike the feeling of warmth flowing through my limbs and bones before, this enhancement brought an unprecedented feeling of coolness.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh

Under this waterfall-like nourishment, his soul became increasingly calm, and the structure of his consciousness became increasingly solid.

After an unknown amount of time, the murmuring sound deep within my soul gradually faded away, and my limbs and body returned to normal.

"This upgrade is truly peculiar."

Nan Yun Yu Yue sighed.

The feeling brought about by this addition of points is more like making up for previous shortcomings, so that he no longer has any obvious deficiencies in any aspect.

Genji introduced Erii to Uesugi Kozue's identity, stayed with the two for a while, and then kept them behind to talk.

He then walked to Nan Yun Yu Yue's side:

“Mr. Nagumo, one of my retainers says she has found a hybrid who has just ignited the power of words.”

“This hybrid is still very young, but her Word of Power is very suitable for joining the Execution Bureau.”

“It just so happens that you’ve just taken over as the Director of the Executive Bureau and haven’t gone through the process of reviewing new agents yet. I can help you get used to it in a bit,” Yuan Zhisheng said.

“Okay.” Nan Yun Yuyue readily agreed.

He has just taken over as the director of the executive bureau and is not yet familiar with many things. With Yuan Zhisheng's help, he will be able to get started more quickly.

Genji glanced back at Uesugi Kotsu and Erii, then walked out of the room with Nagumo Ugetsu.

"It's good that Sakura is alright," Genji thought to himself.

He had been worried about Sakura Yabuki's safety, since of his three main retainers, Crow and Yasha were always at Genji Heavy Industries, while Sakura was outside and had not been heard from for a long time.

It now seems that she accidentally discovered a promising talent while clearing out Deadpool.

Bringing this talented hybrid to Genji Industries in a timely manner was the right choice.

Although Genji Heavy Industries has not yet begun renovations, it is currently the safest place in Tokyo.

The two walked up the inner stairs.

After the black card with the authority of a patriarch was swiped, the elevator began to speed towards the twenty-seventh floor.

This floor has many facilities specifically set up for new agents of the Executive Bureau, while the upstairs is the office space for family contact officers.

"A promising talent discovered by Sakura Yabuki?"

Nan Yun Yuyue was also somewhat curious.

After Sakura Yabuki drove him to Genji Heavy Industries, this retainer of the Genji family should have returned to the Executive Bureau's other residence in Tokyo.

Unexpectedly, the first thing she reported to Genjiro after the disaster that swept through Tokyo was this.

Swah——

As he pondered, the elevator doors slowly opened.

……

at the same time,

the other side,

Shiina Tatsuki is waiting on the 27th floor.

Sakura Yabuki, standing beside her, was explaining matters related to the Snake-Headed Eight Families to her, leaving her completely dumbfounded.

This world... is actually like this?

Hybrids, Word of Power, Dragons, Deadpools, the Eight Serpent Clan...

These previously unknown secrets are now being introduced to Shiina Tatsuki as if they were perfectly ordinary things, giving him a sudden feeling that he might have traveled through time.

She had never known that such supernatural things were hidden beneath the surface of the world.

If it weren't for the sudden Deadpool craze in Tokyo today, her biggest concern right now would probably be whether she could adapt to a different high school.

However, the trajectory of life is so unpredictable.

Not long ago, she was chatting with her sister, but now, because of her own words and bloodline, she has attracted the attention of the Snake Clan and was even invited by Sakura Yabuki to join the Execution Bureau as a key trainee.

Once the training is completed, she will be able to officially become a member of the Executive Committee with a position.

"You have already ignited the power of words, and witnessed the truth of the world so closely, so you can never go back to your past life."

Yabuki Sakura said,

"In short, welcome to the real world."

Shiina Riki took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and nodded.

Sakura Yabuki was right. Now that she had ignited the power of words, she could never go back.

Even after she nodded in agreement, she still felt somewhat dazed. It was as if one world was rapidly receding from her, while another, uncharted shore suddenly opened its hidden door to her.

Shiina Tatsuki suddenly remembered their band.

Everyone had their own travel plans during the summer vacation, so rehearsals were suspended for a while.

So much so that after the last band performance, the repertoire for the next rehearsal had not yet been determined.

She originally thought that in a few days, Nanon Ugetsu or Toyokawa Shoko might announce the next stage of rehearsal plans in the group chat.

Who would have thought that what would come first was not another reunion of Crychic, but this disaster that completely changed her fate.

"Ugh."

Shiina Tatsuki sighed inwardly.

The faces of the band members flashed before my eyes.

Initially, she joined Crychic on her sister's recommendation, but as time went on, she couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave her original life trajectory forever.

Shoko Toyokawa, Mutsumi Wakaba, Motoyo Nagasaki...

At first I was a little confused, but in the end I developed a special fondness for this lamp...

And... that boy.

Memory is an ocean of time, and perhaps in the long run, the brain, this unreliable hard drive, will gradually blur this memory.

But at this moment, every memory is incredibly vivid, leaving her unable to let go for a long time.

"Young...the patriarch said that he will bring the current director of the executive bureau over in a little while."

Sakura Yabuki's tone inevitably carried a hint of surprise.

She had only just learned that Genjiro had become the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, while the former head, Tachibana Masamune, had been imprisoned for his crimes.
