I saw this system notification.
Zhou Huai was sowhat surprised.
Then, all the expressions on his face vanished, and he beca more solemn than ever before.
This ti, he wasn't excited about getting another guaranteed SSS-level clone.
This system notification revealed an important piece of information.
Kujo Hiroharu is about to revive the true ancestor of the Kujo family.
Kujo Naruya, SSS-rank profession 【Amaterasu Omikami】.
The system's task is to either prevent resurrection or kill it.
The difficulty of the mission exceeded that of any previous one.
It's important to know that the resurrected Kujo Naruya was at his peak.
These legendary professionals, who only exist in history books and myths, are unknown to anyone as to how strong they were in their lifeti.
Even if all his clones were to be deployed, he probably wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
Therefore, Zhou Huai only had one choice.
That is to stop Kujo Hiroharu before he revives Kujo Naruya.
Stealing the pendulum of life.
However, the difficulty is still so great that it is despair-inducing.
Now, a Kosuke Soma has died in the land of cherry blossoms.
However, the number of SS-rank powerhouses around Kujo Hiroharu is increasing.
Wada Hirayama, Qin Ze Duoyilang, Oki Bunko, Kujo Masakage, and two SS-ranked players from the Dawn Guild.
That ans there were a total of six SS-level professionals.
Moreover, according to Zhou Huai's judgnt, each of them is at /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ least level 70 or above, and may even have reached the threshold of level 80.
Although Zhou Huai currently has many clones, he doesn't even have one that's level 50.
The vast gap in skill level is sothing that no tactic can bridge.
Ti is running out for him and the Great Xia Kingdom.
We must address the root cause.
He imdiately looked at Tang Qi beside him.
"Tang Qi, from now on, you and Natsu Rinko will stay here and not take any action."
Seeing his solemn expression, Tang Qi imdiately realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded quickly.
"Understood. Your Excellency, you are preparing to...?"
Zhou Huai did not answer, but simply said:
"I can't tell you more details right now, but I'll make arrangents later."
"Keep yourselves safe until I get back."
Tang Qi nodded heavily, his eyes resolute.
"yes!"
After saying this, the ever-changing star lord, who had just woken up, closed his eyes again, leaned back, and lay stiffly back on the bed.
Tang Qi and Natsu Rin were left staring at each other, completely bewildered.
"this......"
Natsu Rinko looked at her master on the bed, who seed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and then at Tang Qi, her little face filled with helplessness.
She cautiously moved closer to Tang Qi and whispered in a voice barely above a mosquito's buzz:
"Mr. Tang Qi, is our master... practicing cultivation?"
"Use...use sleeping?"
Tang Qi's lips twitched.
Little did he know what this mysterious and unpredictable Star Lord was up to.
But he still put on a stern face, lowered his voice, and said seriously to Natsu Rin:
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
"When it's your turn to know, your master will naturally tell you."
"Co out with , don't disturb him."
"oh......"
Natsu Rin had no choice but to shut her mouth. Although her mind was full of a million questions, she obediently followed Tang Qi and quietly left the room.
And the mont they closed the door.
Zhou Huai's consciousness has traveled thousands of miles and descended into another body.
Military Headquarters of the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Gandalf.
"boom--"
With a violent spatial fluctuation, a portal shimring with a ghostly blue light slowly dissipated.
Gandalf, covered in blood and reeking of gunpowder, stepped out from the crowd, staff in hand.
Behind him lay a mountain of corpses of various high-level alien beasts.
After these days of running dungeons, grinding monsters, and leveling up day and night.
His level has reached level 47.
Just one step away from unlocking a brand new clone slot.
"Lord Gandalf."
As soon as he stepped out of the instance, a young general who had been waiting there imdiately ca up to him and respectfully saluted.
"Marshal Zhao is back."
He requests that you co over imdiately.
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, smiled slightly upon hearing this, a aningful expression appearing on his aged face.
"Hehe, Marshal Zhao's return is just in ti."
“We’re on the sa page. I also happen to have sothing important to discuss with him.”
Soon, led by the young general, Gandalf was taken to Marshal Zhao Qingcang's office.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Huai's gaze fell on the burly figure behind the desk.
The old marshal was sitting there, seemingly reviewing so docunts.
Zhou Huai's gaze imdiately fell on the white gauze wrapped around Zhao Qingcang's wrist.
And the blood-red life bar above his head, which had quietly lost a tenth of its length.
Zhou Huai's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Marshal, are you injured?"
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Qingcang looked up and saw that it was Gandalf. He smiled and waved his hand dismissively.
"Hehe, I'm old and useless now."
"I exchanged a few simple blows with that guy nad Qin Zeduo on the border."
He shook his bandaged wrist, his tone relaxed.
"His toxins are quite special; they have a side effect that makes treatnt ineffective."
"But it's not a big problem. My old bones can still handle it. I'll be fine in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai's heart sank.
He controlled Gandalf, and his voice also beca a few decibels lower.
"Even you... are you no match for Qin Ze?"
These words seed to have touched a nerve with the old marshal.
Zhao Qingcang glared at him and cursed irritably.
"nonsense!"
"Back then, he was one of the top experts among SS-class warriors!"
"Besides, he's in his pri right now, while I'm an old man who's almost in my grave. Isn't it normal for to be slightly inferior?"
After saying that, he seed unconvinced, straightened his back, and put on an undisguised arrogance.
"If only I could go back to my peak, no, if only I could be ten years younger!"
"I am also good enough to be on par with that Qin Zeduo!"
Seeing this, Zhou Huai quickly followed up with a complint.
"The Marshal is still vigorous despite his old age, and his heroic spirit is as strong as ever."
"Alright, stop flattering ."
Zhao Qingcang waved his hand impatiently, gesturing for him to sit down.
Let's talk.
What's the current situation in Japan?
Zhou Huai sat down in the chair opposite him, his expression turning serious again.
He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"The situation is terrible."
"Kosuke Soma is dead."
"The Ōmiya family is finished too."
"Now the entire Sakura Country has fallen into the hands of the Kujo family."
Zhou Huai paused for a mont, then continued.
"They not only resurrected Qin Ze Duoyilang, but also the King of a Hundred Demons from a hundred years ago, Kujo Masakage."
"Next, they will prepare to resurrect the legendary Amaterasu."
