Balthasar believed that Wang Xiaoming would help him obtain the Fourth True Ancestor. The Third True Ancestor believed that Wang Xiaoming would bring her amusement, while Vattler believed that Wang Xiaoming would allow him to experience the joy of battle. The Second True Ancestor's Ninth Prince believed that Wang Xiaoming would help him regain his dignity.
They deeply trusted Wang Xiaoming. From now on, whatever Wang Xiaoming did, any action he took, would be to help them!
"Of course!"
"No problem!"
"Leave it to you!"
With the thought of "He will definitely help me!", everyone nodded in agreement to Wang Xiaoming's request with sincere smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
No one trusted Wang Xiaoming more than them!
Thus, the atmosphere that was just tense suddenly became harmonious, making the whole scene incredibly strange!
The genuine smiles on everyone's faces gave Nangong Nayue and Shizuka Yume, who were watching from the sidelines, a look as if they had seen a ghost.
What's going on? What exactly is happening? What happened?
A series of questions popped up in the minds of the two onlookers. Their first reaction was to suspect whether they had seen wrong, were seeing things, or were having hallucinations.
But the result was that after opening their eyes again, the world in front of them had not changed in any way. The people of the three great Night Empires, as well as the four forces of Balthasar, were all incredibly harmonious. To be precise, they were all extremely polite to Wang Xiaoming's side, who had just appeared!
Why is this...?
Nangong Nayue's eyebrows furrowed, not understanding how this was done. Shizuka Yume was frantically adjusting her glasses, trying to see something from it.
Nangong Nayue couldn't help but glance at Shizuka Yume beside her, wanting to see if this Lion King Organization member had figured something out. But when she looked over, she found that Shizuka Yume was also turning to look at her. Great, neither of them understood!
Turning her gaze to Wang Xiaoming below, Nangong Nayue had a guess.
Could it be that Wang Xiaoming knows all three True Ancestors? This polite demeanor, no matter how you look at it, feels like they are acquaintances. Even the Third True Ancestor is so familiar with him. Could it be that he really is the Cain from mythology?
What level of figures are the three True Ancestors? They are the world's top figures that ordinary people cannot even touch. Only the legendary god could be treated so kindly.
As for Vattler and the Ninth Prince, they must have been told by their elders and knew Wang Xiaoming's true identity, which is why they treated him so politely!
As for the remaining arms dealer Balthasar, Nangong Nayue didn't know why he was so polite to Wang Xiaoming either. Logically speaking, his level shouldn't have access to these secrets. Could it be that a chance accident allowed him to know something, so he knew Wang Xiaoming's identity and therefore treated Wang Xiaoming politely?
After thinking it over, only this explanation could explain this seemingly magical scene.
If that's the case, why didn't you come out a few days earlier? Since you know everyone anyway, there's no need to hide at home until the last day!
Nangong Nayue couldn't help but complain in her heart, and then her expression began to relax.
But Shizuka Yume was different. Her face was very bad. She had bet on the 560,000 people on Itogami Island to be able to observe here. She was also thinking that after Wang Xiaoming came out, if possible, she would support him. But in the current situation, the other party has a deep relationship with the three great Night Empires and doesn't need the support of their Lion King Organization at all. This Flame Feast, they bet on the 560,000 people on Itogami Island, I'm afraid they bet on nothing!
On the scene, after Wang Xiaoming took over the leadership from Balthasar, he directly stood in the middle of the six familiars he brought.
Balthasar watched the six familiars he brought with him attentively from the side.
"Very good, from now on you will listen to..."
"Wang Xiaoming."
Wang Xiaoming said his name very kindly.
"Thank you!"
Balthasar thanked Wang Xiaoming and then looked at the six familiars again.
"From now on, you will listen to Mr. Wang Xiaoming's orders!"
You don't even know his name!
Nangong Nayue complained again in her heart.
However, it didn't affect Balthasar below directly handing over the command of the six familiars to Wang Xiaoming.
The six familiars listened to Balthasar's orders and all looked at Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction and looked at the three familiars next to him, which were brought by Vattler.
"Vattler, give me the three familiars on your side too."
Wang Xiaoming directly raised his head and asked Vattler, and Vattler nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"No problem, Lord Xiaoming, these three familiars are yours now."
This works too!? What's the point of starting this Flame Feast then!? What was the point of me working my butt off for the past few days? Since you were a group before, then don't cause trouble for me on Itogami Island! Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, Nangong Nayue!?
Nangong Nayue continued her role as a complaining character, complaining frantically in her heart.
After receiving Vattler's confirmation, the three familiars also looked at Wang Xiaoming. Then Wang Xiaoming waved to them, and the three familiars came to Wang Xiaoming's side, merging with the six familiars and standing in a circle around Wang Xiaoming.
"Mr. Xiaoming, I'll leave it to you."
Balthasar was very happy to see Wang Xiaoming so easily getting three familiars from Vattler.
"Rest assured and leave it to me!"
Wang Xiaoming patted Balthasar on the shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile, which made Balthasar very satisfied. However, this smile, in the eyes of the three vampires above, was full of perfunctoriness. Wang Xiaoming was perfunctorily fooling this silly arms dealer and then trying to find a way to complete what they hoped for.
"Aurora, come over here."
Wang Xiaoming told the nine familiars to stand obediently and then waved to Aurora, who was looking curious behind him.
Aurora looked at Leticia and the others beside her and, after confirming that Wang Xiaoming was calling her, trotted to Wang Xiaoming's side.
"Lord Xiaoming."
The little maid Aurora, who came to Wang Xiaoming's side, greeted Wang Xiaoming and then looked at the other familiars. As familiars who were created together, Aurora still recognized these familiars. However, compared to Aurora, the bodies of these familiars would gradually collapse over time due to excessively bearing the power of the familiars.
Wang Xiaoming rubbed Aurora's little head and said softly.
"Aurora, go to sleep for a while, just like we agreed before."
"Okay, Lord Xiaoming."
Aurora, who receives rewards from Wang Xiaoming every day, now listens to Wang Xiaoming's words 100%.
According to Wang Xiaoming's request, Aurora closed her eyes and put her consciousness to sleep. Correspondingly, another soul within Aurora's body took over her body.
A few seconds passed, and Aurora's eyes opened again. This time, the eyes that opened were full of indifference. The Original Soul had awakened.
The awakened Original saw the nine familiars standing in front of her and immediately understood that this was her awakening ceremony, the Flame Feast to reassemble the power of the Fourth True Ancestor.
"Only nine? Not bad."
Including the familiars she herself controlled, there were a total of ten familiars. Although they were not all collected at once, ten familiars could allow her to recover most of her power.
She ignored Balthasar, who was watching from the side, and immediately began the ceremony. Rainbow-colored wings of light directly appeared behind her, setting her body off the ground.
The Original, floating in the low air, looked at the nine familiars below and then coldly issued the order.
"My power, return!"
The familiars within the nine familiars left the bodies one by one, turning into light and merging into the Original's body. Each time one merged, one of the light wings behind the Original would light up. Out of the twelve light wings, ten lit up after all nine familiars merged. Only two remained unlit.
And the two that were not lit were naturally the two that the Third True Ancestor did not bring.
At this point, the Fourth Progenitor could be said to have truly awakened, becoming the fourth strongest being in this world with the incomplete state of ten Progenitor-level familiars.
Then, she was stabbed directly through the chest from behind with a sword.
421. The Death of the Fourth Progenitor
"Nani!!"
The Fourth Progenitor, who had just recovered most of her power, was stabbed directly through the body from behind, a scene that startled everyone present.
But when they discovered that it was Wang Xiaoming who had stabbed the Fourth Progenitor from behind, they didn't care and were completely relieved.
Relieved my foot! What does this mean? Why do you all have that strange "Oh, it's you, then it's okay" expression? What are you thinking!
Nangong Nayue looked at the people from the three great Night Empires with a relieved expression, her face somewhat collapsing. Are these people serious?
What exactly is the purpose of you coming to the Flame Feast? Is it just to watch the show? Wake up, this is the Flame Feast where the Fourth Progenitor is born, shouldn't you do something?
And you, Barthesal, why do you also have a relieved expression? Didn't you want to become the Fourth Progenitor's blood servant? Now that Fourth Progenitor looks like she's about to die, aren't you going to do something, make something happen!?
It must be said that the situation on the scene made Nangong Nayue a little frantic. She had transformed into a professional吐槽役, frantically吐槽ing in her heart.
Originally, as the security supervisor of Itogami Island, she should have been the one who least wanted these people to fight, but now, she actually hoped that these guys would make a little noise, because if they didn't do anything at all, it would make her previous efforts to maintain the security of Itogami Island seem like a waste of effort, a waste of time and experience, just a simple matter of her being played by these guys.
This would make Nangong Nayue, this proud witch, very unhappy.
However, Nangong Nayue's thoughts were not recognized by anyone. Barthesal didn't move, and the three great Night Empires didn't make any movements either, because in their eyes, all of Wang Xiaoming's actions were reasonable and beneficial to them. They unconditionally trusted Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming would definitely not let them down.
"This is..."
The Primordial, who had been backstabbed, looked in horror at the sword piercing her chest. She could feel a power that made her panic from this sword, not the so-called Holy Lance that could kill Progenitors, but something that truly made her fear.
She was indeed the Fourth Progenitor, but she was just an artificial soul, able to control the power of the Fourth Progenitor. But this sword was actually devouring her soul!
If her soul was devoured, she would really die!
"This is Est, my contracted spirit."
The voice from behind made her understand that someone had attacked her from behind.
With horror, she struggled to turn around and look behind her, seeing Wang Xiaoming behind her.
"You are...."
The Primordial Soul had been sleeping and didn't know Wang Xiaoming's identity, but she could feel a special power from Wang Xiaoming, similar to the vampire power on her body, but stronger than the power on her body, even with a sense of suppression.
"Who are you, why are you attacking me..."
As the Primordial, although she had been sleeping, she also understood the Flame Feast and knew about the Electors. Shouldn't the Electors be very polite to her and then ask her for something? Why would they attack her?
"Who I am is not important, what's important is that I prefer to come from behind."
Wang Xiaoming replied with a smile.
"You bastard, are you teasing me!"
The Primordial was angered by Wang Xiaoming's answer and immediately erupted with magic power, wanting to break free from Wang Xiaoming from behind her. However, Wang Xiaoming held the sword in one hand, maintaining the backstabbing posture, and directly wrapped his other arm around the Primordial's slender waist, tightly imprisoning her.
The impact of magic power was useless to Wang Xiaoming. The Godslayer's advanced magic immunity physique and Est's steel physique meant that the Fourth Progenitor's magic power eruption was useless at all.
After discovering that the magic power eruption was useless, the Fourth Progenitor chose to summon familiars.
"Leo's Golden!"
The angry Fourth Progenitor directly summoned the familiar, the fifth familiar symbolizing Leo, 【Leo's Environment】, erupting from her body. This was a familiar that controlled the power of lightning, its image being a giant lion made of golden lightning, which could transform into a lion to attack enemies, or release lightning for close and long-range attacks.
Golden lightning erupted from the Primordial's body, electrocuting Wang Xiaoming. The temperature of these golden lightning bolts was incredibly terrifying, instantly melting the ground beneath their feet after they appeared.
But this terrifying lightning only melted Wang Xiaoming's armor and clothes, without causing any damage to his body. Advanced magic immunity and steel physique were that awesome. Steel physique resisted high temperatures, and magic immunity resisted lightning damage.
After discovering that lightning could not cause damage to Wang Xiaoming, the Primordial summoned a new familiar again.
"Taurus King's Amber!"
This time it wasn't lightning, but a giant minotaur monster, its entire body made of amber-colored magma, full of high temperatures and very hard. In the hands of this minotaur monster, there was also an axe even taller than itself.
The second familiar symbolizing Taurus, 【Taurus King's Amber】, stood opposite the Primordial. It possessed the scorching power of magma, and could also use the giant axe in its hand to perform the purest and most direct physical damage, and also possessed a special physique that could break through any non-physical barriers, which meant that it could directly ignore barriers and magic arrays to forcibly rush the opponent's back row to kill!
"Moo!!!!"
The summoned Taurus King's Amber roared, then raised the giant axe in its hands high, and directly劈了down on Wang Xiaoming behind the Primordial.
Dong——
The huge axe landed on the ground, and the entire No. 27 artificial island trembled violently because of this attack, and at the same time, a huge gully was cut out on the ground. If it weren't because the No. 27 area was large enough, the entire artificial island would have been split in half by this attack!
But, this incomparably powerful blow did not hit. The power of Taurus King's Amber's attack was indeed very powerful, but attacks that could not hit were all invalid attacks.
When the Taurus King swung the axe, Wang Xiaoming had already moved to another place with the Primordial in his arms to avoid the Taurus King's attack. The power of that attack could not kill him, but there was no need to resist it head-on.
"You have the last few seconds. If you don't find a way to break free, you will completely disappear from this world."
Wang Xiaoming even very friendly reminded the Primordial. Swallowing the Primordial's soul through Est was what Wang Xiaoming was doing, but as for why it was so slow and not solved all at once, it was because the body that the Primordial was currently using was Aurora's, and Aurora's soul was also in this body. Aurora's soul was essentially artificial, and with two artificial souls existing at the same time, Wang Xiaoming had to be careful to prevent hurting Aurora, so it was so slow.
But the time was almost up!
"You have the last five seconds!"
The Primordial, who had been reminded of the time by Wang Xiaoming, had begun to become weak, which was weakness from the depths of her soul. If she didn't break free, she would really die.
So she began to launch attacks frantically.
"5!"
"Double Horned Deep Crimson!"
"4!"
