Zhou Huai opened his eyes, his eyes bursting with wild joy!
The system is still running!
Those brothers who fought alongside him through thick and thin, fighting to the last mont in Tokyo, are still alive!
"Now that I'm back..."
Zhou Huai muttered to himself, "Then, it's ti for you all to see the light of day again."
The next second, a scene that would shock Chen Huaishuo and Wei Liao for the rest of their lives appeared without warning on this wasteland.
"Buzz—!"
Accompanied by a strange spatial tremor, a white light appeared beside Zhou Huai.
Then ca the second, the third...
One after another.
Ten dazzling white lights transford into pillars of light reaching the sky, rising from the ground with Zhou Huai at the center!
Each beam of white light emanated a distinct yet equally terrifying pressure. These pressures intertwined, even causing the very space around them to begin to subtly distort!
The white light dissipated.
The first to erge was a wanderer wearing a black trench coat with a crescent moon emblem, his unruly black hair casually tied back. A longsword hung at his waist, and he was surrounded by raging lightning power, ready to unleash divine punishnt from the heavens at any mont.
Thunder Sword Master, Yasuo!
Following closely behind was a young man holding a staff and wearing a star-moon robe. Starlight shimred in his eyes, and occasionally a wisp of dark green soul-devouring fla and seven-colored aurora danced at his fingertips.
Gandalf, the Forbidden Spellcaster!
Then, shadows surged like a tide, and a silver-haired man with fair, translucent skin and a sinister aura quietly erged from the darkness, swallowing up the light of the entire wasteland.
Moriah, the Dark Lord!
Then, a burly man, over 1.9 ters tall, with bulging muscles and carrying an ancient longbow, strode out. His eyes were sharp enough to pierce through the starry sky.
The master archer, Yi!
It's not just them.
There is also the legendary craftsman Ou Yezi, wielding an iron hamr, shirtless, radiating an astonishing heat wave!
There's also Xiang Yu, clad in heavy armor, with a towering physique and an aura of dominance that could suppress everything!
And then there's Caesar, the Zerg Overlord who commands endless Zerg phantoms and surveys the world with an air of dominance!
...
One by one, the clones that had exhausted their power or even collapsed in the final battle in the Sakura Country were resurrected under the great power of the system ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) and walked out of the white light.
A total of ten powerful individuals.
Each of them appeared silently and walked quietly behind Zhou Huai to stand still.
Their auras were stronger and more restrained than the last, yet they ford ten insurmountable mountains, firmly protecting Zhou Huai at the very center.
Chen Huaishuo was so overwheld by the terrifying pressure that he subconsciously took two steps back, and even breathing beca extrely difficult.
Before coming, he had already read the description of the Hundred-Faced Star Lord in the top-secret files and was prepared.
However, when the words on the paper beca the real, visually striking reality before his eyes, his heart was still overwheld with shock!
Ten extraordinary beings who stand at the very top of the human pyramid!
Wei Liao opened his mouth wide, his eyes fixed on the invincible formation behind Zhou Huai. He swallowed hard, but couldn't utter a word for a long ti.
His brain had completely shut down.
At this mont, under the oppressive aura of ten powerful and unfathomable figures, Wei Liao, the ruthless and resolute minister on the intelligence front, almost knelt down on the spot.
That was not humiliation, but an instinctive tremor from the deepest part of the soul after one's level of life has been absolutely crushed!
Like an ant, simultaneously targeted by the gazes of ten ancient dragons.
That force was beyond what willpower could withstand.
Thanks to the astonishing willpower he had honed through years of living amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he managed to hold his knees up and prevent himself from collapsing on the spot; otherwise, he would have been utterly humiliated.
Even so, his whole body was still trembling uncontrollably, a violent tremor that he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
Although Chen Huaishuo, who was standing next to him, appeared much calr than him, his tightly clenched fists with bulging veins and his slightly pale face betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
“These...these...” Wei Liao swallowed hard, his voice dry as if it had been sanded, “...are they all your clones?”
He blurted it out subconsciously, which earned him a calm and firm nod from Zhou Huai.
"good."
Zhou Huai ignored the turmoil churning in their hearts. He turned around, his gaze falling on Chen Huaishuo, his tone calm yet powerful.
"General Chen, may I borrow your life pendulum?"
"ah?"
Chen Huaishuo snapped out of his shock and was montarily stunned, staring at Zhou Huai with a puzzled look.
Borrowing the pendulum of life?
What is he going to do?
Chen Huaishuo instinctively wanted to refuse.
This divine artifact is a strategic trump card for the future of the Great Xia Kingdom; how could it be easily entrusted to others?
But when his gaze swept over the ten silent, terrifying figures behind Zhou Huai, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
disagree?
Even if I disagree... it doesn't seem to work.
Let alone the fact that I am only an acting commander-in-chief now, even if Marshal Zhao were alive, he would probably have to think twice before facing this situation.
Moreover, Chen Huaishuo thought about it again. Based on this young man's previous behavior, everything he did—saving Donghai City, thwarting the Sakura Kingdom's conspiracy—was for the sake of Great Xia. Such a person wouldn't use the pendulum of life to do anything outrageous.
Thinking of this, Chen Huaishuo suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and nodded heavily.
"Can."
Zhou Huai smiled and pointed to an open space not far away: "Then I'll trouble you two generals to co with ."
As he spoke, he took the lead and led the two generals, whose emotions were complicated and whose minds were blank, to a relatively safe location.
Imdiately afterwards, Zhou Huai transferred his consciousness to his clone, Gandalf.
"Buzz—"
At the sa ti, the image of Uncle Fu's kind, wrinkled face clearly appeared in his mind.
The next second, he set the pendulum of life in motion!
"when--!"
A distant and ancient bell tolled, echoing across the wilderness.
On the surface of the life pendulum suspended in the air, countless mysterious golden runes flowed endlessly, and the still hand began to swing at an extrely slow speed.
Imdiately afterwards, a dazzling golden beam of light shone down from the bottom of the pendulum and enveloped Gandalf!
An overwhelming force of stripping away swept over him, and the life essence within Gandalf began to be extracted by this ancient artifact!
At the very mont the golden light enveloped him, Zhou Huai returned his consciousness to his physical body, silently standing aside and quietly observing everything.
Chen Huaishuo, who was standing to the side, imdiately understood Zhou Huai's intention when he saw this scene!
"You...you're going to...sacrifice your clone to resurrect your old butler?"
