Chapter 112 World Line Reset Short Story: Death of Herzog (Part )
Blood transfusion tubes had already been inserted into the aorta of Eri’s neck. Herzog inserted the two blood transfusion tubes into his neck. Under the action of the blood exchanger, the blood of both sides began to exchange. The blood of the newborn dragon entered Herzog’s body, and Herzog’s aging blood flowed into Eri’s body. This was a great operation that had never been done before. With blood as the medium, the power of the White King entered Herzog’s body. His pupils became brighter and brighter, and it seemed as if lava was flowing in the bottom of his eyes. The white filaments also grew on his body. His skin gradually became smooth and moist, with a baby-like red. He comfortably opened his arms and let himself be wrapped by the filaments, feeling the feeling of the powerful force flowing in his body.

No one spoke anymore, only one voice echoed on the stage, the girl trapped in the cocoon sobbing softly, she was chanting someone’s name, she said… Sakura… Sakura… Sakura!

When the cries finally died down, the cocoon Herzog had made was torn from the inside out by a pure white claw, and the perfect creature suddenly rose from the rift, spreading its white membrane wings in the air. He was suspended in the well like a huge cross, and the reflection of his scales illuminated the darkness.

He is outstanding, graceful and elegant, somewhere between an angel and a devil. Even when Xia Mi turned into a dragon, she was not as perfect as him. He is the new White King, White King Herzog, a great creature who is second to none and above everyone else. In an era without the Black King, he is the throne of the world!

The unprecedented gale raged on the stage like the end of the world, mercilessly sweeping the carefully arranged decorations and scenery into its violent vortex. The gorgeous curtains were torn into pieces, and the bright lights swayed in the wind, as if even the space was distorted by this force. Herzog, the ambitious man who had just usurped the supreme throne through a series of carefully planned conspiracies and means, was ecstatic, ready to soar into the sky under the impetus of this force and announce his new power and glory to the world.

However, just as the storm gradually subsided and Herzog was about to take the most glorious step in his life, an unbelievable change came like a bolt from the blue. The whole world seemed to be torn apart by some unspeakable force in an instant and began to fall apart. The originally solid stage began to crack, the chandeliers on the ceiling fell one after another, and a heart-pounding uneasiness filled the air.

Herzog’s face, which had become twisted and hideous due to excessive joy, suddenly froze at this moment. All the pride and arrogance were replaced by this sudden fear. He was horrified to find that he could not move at all, as if he was tightly bound by some invisible shackles. He could only stare helplessly, watching the scene in front of him begin to change at an unreasonable speed. Time seemed to flow backwards at this moment, and everything was tracing back their existence in an incredible way, as if the whole world was experiencing an absurd dream.

“What happened? What on earth is going on? Who is it? Who is behind all this?” Herzog screamed hysterically, his voice echoing in the empty stage, full of despair and unwillingness. He couldn’t understand why such a change would happen when he was about to reach the peak of his life.

“It’s me.” In the darkness, a calm and somewhat familiar young man’s voice suddenly sounded in Herzog’s ears. This voice was like the most distant star in the night sky. Although it was not bright, it was enough to penetrate the endless darkness and reach the depths of his soul. Herzog turned his head suddenly, but he only saw darkness, but the voice seemed to be right next to his ear, clear and powerful.

“Who are you? What do you want to do?” Herzog roared in horror. The power in his body was boiling, but in front of this great force that could overturn the world, he found himself as if he had returned to the humble and powerless era of human beings. All power and means became meaningless, and he could only let fate take its course.

However, the familiar voice never responded to his questioning. It seemed to be testing his patience and will, and mocking his helplessness and despair. Herzog was furious. He tried his best to exert all the power he had and kill this unknown existence. But unfortunately, in this dark space, he could not find any elemental power to drive. He was like a warrior deprived of all weapons, helplessly waiting for the judgment of fate.

Herzog’s efforts were in vain. He found that he couldn’t even move a finger, as if he was completely imprisoned by some power beyond his understanding. That power did not come from the outside world, but from the most primitive fear and despair in his heart. It was a deep awe of the unknown and irresistible force. He felt that his soul was being torn apart bit by bit by this power, painful and helpless.

“You…what do you want in exchange for letting me go?” Herzog’s voice began to tremble. He was no longer the ambitious and arrogant White King. He was an ordinary man struggling in despair. He begged for mercy from the other party, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

“Let you go?” The voice seemed to be mocking. “Herzog, you have used others countless times and used whatever means to achieve your goals. Have you ever thought that one day you will become a pawn in the hands of others?”

Herzog was speechless. He had spent his whole life pursuing power and status. He had never thought that he would be so helpless one day. He felt that his heart was devoured by a deep sense of guilt and regret. He knew that he had reached the end of his life.

At this moment, the light in the darkness began to gather. A human figure was formed. The outline gradually became clear, and finally turned into a young man in a black windbreaker. His face was delicate but deep, and his eyes flashed with a frightening light. In his hand, he held a long stick made of black iron with two golden hoops on both ends. He looked majestic and frightened Herzog so much that he dared not breathe.

“You!! It’s you!!!” After seeing Lu Mingfei’s face clearly, Herzog screamed with a distorted expression. He finally understood why he felt familiar with his voice! It turned out to be him! The one he once regarded as an ant!

“You are such a great being! You are such a great being! I actually missed you! I actually missed you!” Herzog was in extreme shock and collapse, “It turns out that I was so close to the ultimate of the world! But I missed it!”

“Yes, yes, it’s me, the head of the family, Tachibana Masamune… or rather, Dr. Herzog.” Lu Mingfei gently shook the stick in his hand and responded calmly. There was an indescribable majesty and power in his voice, which made Herzog feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

“Lu Mingfei…you…how could you…” Herzog shook his head in shock and disbelief. He couldn’t believe that this person, who he once regarded as an ant, could have such a powerful force. He couldn’t understand why this young man, who he once played with at will, suddenly became so powerful.

“Are you surprised?” Lu Mingfei smiled faintly. “In this world, nothing is impossible. You once thought you were the king of the world, but you forgot that the real throne can never be seized by force or conspiracy.”

Herzog was silent. He knew that he had already lost. No matter how hard he struggled, it was in vain. He could only wait silently for the final judgment of fate. He felt that his heart was swallowed by a deep despair. He knew that he had reached the end of his life.

“In fact, you had the chance to become a great man.” Lu Mingfei continued. “But you chose to take this road of no return. Your ambition and desire made you lose yourself and the most precious thing in human nature.” “Human nature?” Herzog sneered. “Human nature is nothing more than an excuse for the weak. In this world, only strength is the only truth.”

“Really?” Lu Mingfei shook his head. “Then, you should feel the feeling of losing your power.”

As Lu Mingfei finished speaking, an indescribable force began to surge in his body. This force came from another world line. He seized the authority of the Holy Spirit Supreme God forged by all the authority of the four monarchs. In front of the highest power in this world, the authority of the White Emperor was nothing but something that could be erased at will.

The power in Herzog’s body began to dissipate rapidly. He felt that his body, which had just gained supreme power, was becoming weaker and weaker. It was as if all the vitality had been drained away. He was horrified to find that he could not maintain his dragon form and began to gradually turn back into that ugly human appearance. His face was full of fear and despair. He knew that he had completely lost his power and status.

“Who on earth are you!” Herzog roared in dissatisfaction. He had gone through so much hardship to sit on the throne he wanted, but on this throne, there was an unknown person like Lu Mingfei. He couldn’t understand why the world was so cruel, why he had put in so much effort but ended up with nothing.

Lu Mingfei did not respond to Herzog’s angry question. A spotlight suddenly lit up in the dark space. The spotlight illuminated a corner of the stage, illuminating the three siblings, Gen Chisei, Gen Chinu, and Uesugi Eri, who were sleeping peacefully and intact under the spotlight. Their faces were serene and calm, as if they were having a beautiful dream.

When Herzog saw the three “emperors” intact under the spotlight, he was stunned in astonishment. Shouldn’t they… be dead? He had clearly put them to death, so why were they still here intact?
“Shouldn’t they… be dead?” Lu Mingfei stared at Herzog with a compassionate but cold gaze, as if he saw through everything and spoke out the question in his heart. “Yes, in the script, their ending should have been death. But as a usurper, you naturally can’t realize that the script can be changed.”

Herzog was stunned. He couldn’t understand the meaning of this sentence. He was clearly in control of everything, so why did such a change happen? He felt that his heart was swallowed by a deep confusion and fear.

“And I want to thank you, dear Dr. Herzog.” Lu Mingfei continued. “If you hadn’t sucked all the dragon blood out of Eri’s body, I wouldn’t have been able to let her be reborn as a normal girl so easily. In that case, Dr., I will give you some rewards.”

At this point, Lu Mingfei chuckled. After he snapped his fingers, Herzog was surprised to find that the power in his body was gradually returning. The authority of the White King was back in his hands. However, this power was no longer the supreme power he once had. It was a power that was controlled by Lu Mingfei and could be taken back at any time.

This did not comfort or delight Herzog. The power he had longed for his whole life was actually something that Lu Mingfei could deprive or grant at a moment’s notice. This made him feel that the value of his life was completely denied, and he was completely hopeless. He knew that he had completely lost the qualifications to compete with Lu Mingfei and could only let him control him.

“Don’t be so depressed, Doctor.” Lu Mingfei walked towards Herzog, who had a ferocious and terrified expression, with ill intentions. “If you want power so much, I will give you power… If you can defeat me, you will gain the right to enjoy this power forever.”

Herzog looked up at Lu Mingfei, his eyes flickering with unwillingness and despair. He knew that he had no way out and could only fight for that tiny glimmer of hope. He took a deep breath, gathered the strength that had just returned to his body, and prepared to face this battle that would decide his fate.

Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog with a smile, and the golden hoop in his hand began to emit a fiery red color. He understood what this battle meant to Herzog, and also understood the role he played in this battle. He was ready to accept this challenge and to defeat Herzog completely.

“At least, don’t let my stick spoil the fun, new white emperor.” Lu Mingfei said coldly. His voice was full of majesty and power, which made Herzog feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He knew that this battle was inevitable, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

However, any resistance of Herzog will be in vain. Under Lu Mingfei’s golden hoop, he will completely lose any chance of survival.

Herzog took the lead in launching countless powerful words and spirit attacks at Lu Mingfei who was chopping with his stick: Sovereign Flame, Eye of the Wind King, Blue Thunder Domination, Bloodline Attraction, Black Flame Prison… However, it was all useless. Lu Mingfei was now a complete controller of the elements, and all the words and spirits launched by Herzog were instantly canceled by him.

Then, Lu Mingfei’s full-strength strike followed, fast, accurate, and fierce.

This was not a fight to the death between kings, with no end in sight. This was just a one-sided slaughter by the Little Sage Equal to Heaven, Lu Mingfei.

Under the baptism of the rain of sticks, Herzog had no means of fighting back… The newborn White Emperor soon fell into Lu Mingfei’s hands.
