“Leticia, did you see the news today?”
“Yes, I saw some. It seems very lively on Itogami Island today, with several demonic attacks.”
“Actually, the reason these things are happening is because the Fourth Progenitor's awakening ritual, the Feast of the Flame, is about to begin. Because you have Aurora, the three Progenitors and the fourth party have all come to Itogami Island. They are preparing to awaken the Fourth Progenitor on Itogami Island.”
Natsuki Minamiya picked up her black tea and took a sip.
“May I ask, have you decided what to do?”
Because Wang Xiaoming kept his promise and never actively caused trouble on Itogami Island, and because of Leticia, this elegant young maiden and maid, Natsuki Minamiya was more inclined towards Wang Xiaoming than the remaining four forces.
Therefore, she really wanted to know how Wang Xiaoming would act.
If possible, she might even help a little, not for Wang Xiaoming's sake, but for Itogami Island's sake, because her duty is to protect Itogami Island. Compared to the remaining four parties who don't really abide by the rules, Wang Xiaoming, who is willing to abide by the rules, can cause less damage to Itogami Island.
Therefore, if possible, she would choose to stand on Wang Xiaoming's side.
Leticia naturally knew that the commotion on Itogami Island was a sign that the Feast of the Flame had begun, but Wang Xiaoming had already made the best plan from the beginning.
Regarding this Feast of the Flame, Wang Xiaoming's decision was only one.
“Master's decision is to solve them all at once after they've all gathered together!”
419. The Fifth Heavenly King Launches!
The beginning of the Feast of the Flame, with the major forces entering Itogami Island, inevitably caused some chaos on Itogami Island, but that chaos was useless, because the Feast of the Flame is not like the Holy Grail War. No matter how many twists and turns you have in the beginning, they are not as important as the final decision.
In the end, whoever the Fourth Progenitor, with all the bodies gathered together, listens to, is the final winner. Even if you collect eleven bodies in the beginning, the twelfth, Aurora, is the most important, because she has the original, and the original can bring back all the Familiars held by the other bodies.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming, who owns Aurora, has the greatest advantage from the beginning. In addition, Wang Xiaoming's own strength and Aurora's sense of belonging to Wang Xiaoming, how can he lose?
Therefore, no matter how the outside world fights, how fiercely they fight to the death, it has no impact on Wang Xiaoming. The last day is the most important.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoming had already figured out how to most easily obtain the final victory of the Feast of the Flame, the most effortless kind!
Therefore, he will not take the initiative to attack. He will wait, waiting for the final moment of the Feast of the Flame, when the three Progenitors and the arms dealer, a total of four parties, are all gathered together. When the four are gathered, Wang Xiaoming can easily take them down.
Therefore, before the last day arrives, Wang Xiaoming will not participate in the situation on Itogami Island, and Natsuki Minamiya can only solve it herself.
“In this way, at least there is no fifth party involved.”
Outside Wang Xiaoming's villa, Natsuki Minamiya, who had received Wang Xiaoming's plan from Leticia, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't feel any lighter, at least the situation hadn't worsened. As expected, Wang Xiaoming was relatively compliant with the rules.
Wang Xiaoming's side did not intend to appear, letting the remaining four parties act first. The conflict would at most remain as it is now, and would not be exaggerated.
Natsuki Minamiya was very concerned about the fighting power of Wang Xiaoming's three-maid team. That kind of highly aggressive and extremely fast-attacking shadow used as a weapon could even instantly cut off Familiars. Ordinary vampires would have no reaction ability and would be instantly killed.
Because of the habits of the vampires in this world when fighting, they would summon one, and I would summon one, and then everyone's Familiars would beat each other up. But Leticia and the others seemed a little unchivalrous. The Dragon's Shadow Remnants could be divided into many branches, attacking the Familiars while also directly attacking the summoner himself. Where had the ordinary vampires of this world seen this kind of fighting style? They were all instantly killed.
In Natsuki Minamiya's opinion, among the vampires in the three Night Empires, except for the Elder-level guys, the remaining vampires, even the Old Era level, would probably be instantly killed if attacked by Leticia and the others without special precautions.
Most importantly, Leticia, following Wang Xiaoming's orders, never showed mercy when taking action in this world, always aiming to kill the opponent instantly. Now that people from the three great empires have come, if someone from the empire is killed by Leticia, as people from the three great empires, they will definitely seek revenge. When the Elder-level people are dispatched, Itogami Island will suffer heavy losses. Whether the Elder-level is killed or Leticia is repelled, the scale of destruction will definitely be huge, and in the end, she, Natsuki Minamiya, will be the one who suffers.
Of course, that's what Natsuki Minamiya thinks. The reality is that if the Elder-level people come, they will also be instantly killed by Leticia.
Therefore, she was really relieved that Wang Xiaoming didn't go out, at least she didn't have to worry about helping the people of the three Night Empires clean up tonight. Those vampires all thought they were from the three Night Empires, and each one was more pretentious than the last, even looking down on her, the [Witch of the Void]. It would be really troublesome if they were cut in half.
“Let's go see if those guys have stirred up anything again.”
Wang Xiaoming could be reassured for the time being, but Natsuki Minamiya was still busy with the remaining four forces.
The one who came from the First Progenitor's side was Duke Dimitriye Vatler of the War King's Domain, the Principality of Aldear, a guy who played with snakes. Although disgusting, his strength was the number one vampire below the Progenitors.
The one who came from the Second Progenitor's side was the Second Progenitor's ninth son, Iblisbell As-Aziz, a second-generation rich kid.
As for the Third Progenitor's side, the Third Progenitor came in person!
These guys didn't come alone, they all brought a bunch of subordinates behind them. After all, they couldn't possibly carry the bodies to Itogami Island themselves, right? There must be a group of people following behind them, and those who are qualified to come with them are definitely not garbage, right? Therefore, the three Progenitors above have a good relationship, but the little guys below can fight each other to the death in secret.
Natsuki Minamiya can't control the three guys above, but she still has to take care of the guys below who are fighting each other to the death, otherwise who knows how much damage Itogami Island will suffer in a few days.
So, in the next few days, whether it was day or night, there would be at least one demonic attack incident on Itogami Island. Most of them were collisions between unregistered demons and unregistered demons, but the collisions of demons would eventually affect the surroundings, so many civilians on Itogami Island were injured and hospitalized.
Itogami Island spent these few days in chaos, and the high-level officials of the Artificial Management Corporation and Japan also spent these few days in chaos, because the Feast of the Flame had already begun, and Wang Xiaoming, whom they wanted to understand, still didn't go out, which made them extremely worried!
So, under Natsuki Minamiya's best efforts to control the situation, it continued until the final day.
I have to say, that ambitious weapon merchant Balthasar is really ambitious. After all, compared to the three Night Empires, his power is relatively weak, so he must be careful to hide himself, and hide himself as much as possible before the goal is achieved. But he forcibly snatched the bodies from the hands of the Second Progenitor's son, Iblisbell, in these few days.
As a weapon merchant, he has various weapon purchase and sales channels in his hands, and he also has sufficient weapons in his hands. This time, he didn't bring any very powerful vampire warriors to Itogami Island, but he brought a large number of armed forces.
Of course, the weapons in his hands are not ordinary weapons, but curse-术 armaments that can cause damage to both vampires and beastmen. The bullets fired are curse-术 bullets, which can effectively kill demons. This is also why he was able to rely on the armed forces in his hands to forcibly snatch territory from the First Progenitor's subordinates.
After snatching a few bodies from the Second Progenitor, the number of bodies in his hands forcibly reached six, accounting for half of the Fourth Progenitor's twelve bodies! After owning half of the bodies, he felt that he was already sure of winning, and took the initiative to send invitations to the people of the three Night Empires, inviting them to participate in the final feast he led.
He even managed to find out Wang Xiaoming's residence, and then spent money to ask for help, found Natsuki Minamiya, and asked Natsuki Minamiya to help send the invitation to Wang Xiaoming.
Natsuki Minamiya was shocked when she received the invitation. It had to be said that he was worthy of being a businessman. This style was really like a businessman. This weapon merchant was very sensible. While asking Natsuki Minamiya to help send the invitation, he gave Natsuki Minamiya a commission of one million, so Natsuki Minamiya readily accepted the money and sent the invitation to Leticia's hands.
Itogami Island's twenty-seventh abandoned district, the old site of the artificial island's old southeast area that sank into the sea due to an accident, the [erased block] that has also been deleted from the map.
The buildings were chaotically crowded together, creating a street scene resembling ruins. The walls of the buildings were cracked, and even the internal steel bars were exposed everywhere. The iron roll-up doors were covered in unsightly graffiti, and finding unbroken glass was a challenge. Male customers seeking women and street prostitutes targeting them; severe addicts wallowing in alcohol and illegal drugs; and numerous marginalized individuals who gathered here, keenly sensing the scent of blood, violence, and money.
Here, the Demon Clan Landing Permit's connection structure was ineffective, and even if a Demon Clan member used violence, no one would notice.
This was also a natural and convenient place for battles.
Balthasar chose this place as the final location for the Feast of the Gilding, also to make it easier for his subordinates to blend in, after all, this kind of mixed place is most suitable for him to hide his subordinates, isn't it?
Arriving at the location specified on his invitation, Balthasar unreservedly placed the coffins containing the six Vessels on the ground, then stood in the center of the coffins, waiting for the people from the Three Great Night Empires to come.
As night fell, the people from the Three Great Empires arrived one after another.
The Third True Ancestor stood on the highest building around, watching the arms dealer in the square below with a smile, while Vatler stood next to the Third True Ancestor, and Iblisbell, who had his Vessel stolen, stood behind them with great displeasure.
Natsuki Minamiya, as the administrator, was also on the scene, after all, she had to ensure that the fighting between these people did not affect the safety of Itogami Island itself.
Also present was one other person, the head of the Lion King Organization's Three Sages, the young attack mage known as [Kanesada].
Just as the Security Force under the Artificial Island Management Corporation is a special organization of Itogami Island, the Lion King Organization is a special agency of the Japanese government.
The Lion King Organization symbolizes the Japanese government and wants to participate in this Feast of the Gilding. Like the Artificial Island Management Corporation, they want to invest in Wang Xiaoming, but they encountered the exact same problem as the Artificial Island Management Corporation, that is, they simply cannot contact Wang Xiaoming, this person simply does not go out!
This time, they had no choice. Essentially, they were not qualified to enter, because they did not have any Vessels in their hands, nor did they support any side. Natsuki Minamiya could still come as the security director of Itogami Island, but the Lion King Organization really had no position to speak of.
But in order to have a place in the new world order in the future, they chose to bet on Itogami Island!
Taking the 560,000 people on Itogami Island, the venue of the Feast of the Gilding, as a bet, the Lion King Organization forcibly intervened in this Feast of the Gilding, as a supervisor.
It must be said, this is very Japanese!
The people from the Three Great Night Empires had all arrived, and only the most important Vessel Number Twelve had not arrived yet, but Balthasar could not wait to begin his performance.
"Welcome, everyone! Welcome everyone to the Feast of the Gilding led by me, Balthasar!"
Standing in the middle of the six coffins, Balthasar looked at the figures on the buildings, grinning and opening his arms.
"Feast of the Gilding!"
"Truly arrogant, Balthasar! An arms dealer who acquired a vampire body through despicable means dares to say that he is the leader!"
Prince Iblisbell opened his mouth directly, very unhappy. He had his Vessel stolen, and it was the kind that was directly attacked at home and stolen. Now he even had to watch the person who stole his Vessel rant here, which made him very unhappy.
"I am very sorry, Prince Iblisbell, I did not notice that you had also come here, I am truly sorry."
Being reprimanded by Iblisbell, Balthasar was not afraid at all. His superficial apology, actually provocative words, made Iblisbell even more unhappy. It was clearly him who issued the invitation, but now he pretended not to know to provoke him.
But the current Iblisbell is not Balthasar's opponent. The other party has six Vessels, which means that the other party has six True Ancestor-level familiars, and he is only the son of the Second True Ancestor, he does not have True Ancestor-level familiars.
Even if provoked, Iblisbell could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
The Third True Ancestor next to him couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Iblisbell's gnashing teeth.
The Third True Ancestor's laughter restored Iblisbell's composure.
"I have shown you a shameful side, I apologize."
"It's okay, I think it's very interesting."
The Third True Ancestor, Giada Kukulkan, chuckled. With her elven green hair and beautiful face, she focused her gaze on Balthasar below.
"I have to say, this merchant makes me feel very interesting."
By the way, although Giada Kukulkan came to participate in the Feast of the Gilding, she actually did not bring any Vessels with her. The Vessels in her hands are still preserved in the Chaos Domain.
So although she came to participate in the Feast of the Gilding, she just came to make an appearance.
The only ones who really brought Vessels were Vatler of the War King Domain, and Iblisbell, the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince's Vessels are still gone, and now only Vatler has three left in his hands.
"It is my honor to make you feel interested."
Balthasar put his right hand on his left chest, expressing his respect to the Third True Ancestor. He could be complacent in front of the other two, but not this one.
"Although Vessel Number Twelve has not arrived yet, it is only a matter of time before the other party arrives, so before the other party arrives, let us first compete for the ownership of the remaining Vessels."
These words were addressed to Vatler, because Vatler also brought Vessels with him, and those Vessels were also what Balthasar wanted to get his hands on.
"Are you that confident, Balthasar?"
Vatler, who was being provoked, was not in a hurry, after all, he did not care about this matter of face.
"I still have this much confidence, Duke Vatler."
"Since you are so confident, then let's try it."
Vatler waved his hand gently, and the vampires under his command appeared from the darkness, carrying three coffins to the square, placing the coffins on the ground. These were the Vessels that the First True Ancestor had given him, under his control.
"Then..."
Vatler raised his hand, and the three Vessels stood up from the coffins, preparing to fight.
"Let's begin, what I have been looking forward to..."
"Oh, you're all here."
A voice suddenly interrupted Vatler's opening declaration, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
A golden-haired youth wearing silver armor, with four golden-haired cute maids, appeared on the other side of the square.
Wang Xiaoming and his group finally left his precious villa and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"One, two, three, four, the representatives of the Three Night Empires, and the Chairman of Nile Puxi, all four of you have arrived."
Arriving at the scene, Wang Xiaoming looked at Balthasar with a smile, and then looked up at the three figures on the roof next to him.
"Sorry, I was late because of a subway traffic jam on my side. May I join you and then preside over this Feast of the Gilding?"
"Of course!"
"No problem!"
"Leave it to you!"
The people who were asked expressed their agreement one after another.
When facing enemies within the organization whose number is four, you can apply to the other party, and the other party will unconditionally trust you and allow you to join their organization.
Skill [Fifth Heavenly King] activated!
420. No one trusts Mr. Xiaoming more than we do!
[Fifth Heavenly King]
This is a skill that Wang Xiaoming obtained after following the Loki Familia on an expedition. Wang Xiaoming has never had a chance to use it, because it is not needed, and there are not many conditions that allow Wang Xiaoming to use it, because [Fifth Heavenly King] wants to use it, the other party's number must be four.
Whether the number of people is four, or the organization's scale is four, in short, the number four must be achieved.
In the worlds he has experienced in the past, there are very few targets whose number is exactly four, but this time is different. The Three Great Night Empires plus the arms dealer, the participants are exactly four. This Feast of the Gilding perfectly meets the conditions that Wang Xiaoming needs to activate [Fifth Heavenly King]!
When facing enemies within the organization whose number is four, you can apply to the other party, and the other party will unconditionally trust you and allow you to join their organization. This organization is the temporarily formed Feast of the Gilding.
The most important point is that not only will you join this organization, but you will also gain the other party's unconditional trust.
Whether it is the arms dealer Balthasar, or the representatives of the Three Great Night Empires led by the Third True Ancestor, all of them will trust unconditionally. With enough trust, Wang Xiaoming can do anything!
Because they believe in Wang Xiaoming! They believe that the things Wang Xiaoming does can bring them benefits and are absolutely beneficial to them! If Wang Xiaoming wants to, he can even ask the Third True Ancestor to give himself...
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming directly applied to join at the beginning, and also directly reached out to them for the leadership of the entire Feast of the Gilding.
And in their eyes, although they do not trust each other at all, they absolutely trust Wang Xiaoming!
