Chapter 448 218: Succession

Jeju Island.

The night before the moon cocoon broke open, considerable volcanic activity occurred here.

At that time, because he needed to pay full attention to the Moon Cocoon and the Moon Blood that could arrive at any time, he only arranged for Fengchuan to bring a batch of equipment to set up here.

Even after the installation, if an unusual and extraordinary situation occurred, the Special Affairs Bureau did not have the energy to investigate, so Fengchuan’s first priority was to return safely.

Even now.

The Moon Cocoon incident has come to an end. After the two moons have merged into one and Iki Island has returned to its original position, the Special Affairs Bureau still has a lot of loose ends to clean up.

Careful inspection of Iki Island, assessment of the lunar phenomenon, preparation for the inquiry of Chiba Kasahara, and post-disaster relief in various places
There are too many more urgent things on the desk.

So for Jeju Island, Noguchi temporarily arranged for Toyokawa to garrison there with an extraordinary person who was also good at running away.

Report any movement immediately to the headquarters to buy time.

As for a more detailed investigation, it can only be carried out after local affairs are dealt with.

However, Fengchuan could see that the volcanic activity was rapidly declining, and not much magma was spewing out. After burning the trees at the foot of the mountain, it slowly subsided.

It won’t be long before it returns to the state of a dormant volcano.

This situation is indeed very similar to the previous volcanic eruption on the Shiretoko Peninsula.

It was also an inexplicable eruption, with suspicious guys appearing and then a magma monster showing up. Then it couldn’t hold out for a few days and there was no sound.

It was even much smaller than the Shiretoko Peninsula, with only one volcano erupting. On the other hand, the Shiretoko Peninsula had more than a dozen new craters rising across the entire area, almost completely burning down all the original forests on the peninsula.

The only good news may be that Jeju Island is not in Japan.

Apart from a small amount of volcanic ash, this eruption had little impact on the Special Affairs Bureau.

If Mount Fuji explodes like this, they will have a headache.

“Ok?”

While eating lava volcano barbecue with his teammates, Fengchuan, who was boasting about his past heroic experiences, suddenly stopped grilling skewers and looked up at the crater with a little confusion.

“Captain, what’s wrong?” The team members quickly became alert, looked around, and were ready to run away at any time.

When it comes to getting away with something, he’s no less capable than anyone else.

“No, I just felt like there was a slight shake.” Fengchuan didn’t take it too seriously. He had been stationed here for two or three days and was used to the occasional shakes.

Hearing this, the team members relaxed and continued to drink beer and barbecue.

At the crater, above the magma that was gradually cooling down into a black and sticky surface, Heath slowly took out the Purple Lightning Sword.

“As you wish, I have brought you here. What do you want next?”

[insert]

The purple lightning sword trembled slightly.

Heath held the hilt of the sword with both hands, aimed at the lava, and threw the purple lightning sword down with force.

laugh–

It was like the food touching a hot iron pan, making a harsh sound.

A large amount of steam rose around the Purple Lightning Sword, and the originally calm black magma seemed to churn again, gradually returning to its fiery red color.

But soon, under the spreading of waves of purple light, this last glimmer of hope was quickly extinguished.

Even the slight tremor of the mountain disappeared.

Finally, streaks of fire flowed along the patterns on the Purple Lightning Sword, as if something was absorbed into it.

In the magma that was about to completely lose its lava state, a vague black figure slowly crawled up and stretched out a trembling hand towards the Purple Lightning Sword.

But in the next second, as the purple electric arc of the Purple Lightning Sword spread, the movements of the dark figure became increasingly stiff, and finally, when it was less than ten centimeters away from the hilt of the sword, it was completely solidified into a piece of obsidian, unable to move at all.

“You didn’t win either.”

A faint sound was heard, and even Heath, who was nearby, almost didn’t hear it clearly.

The purple electric arc retracted into the sword body, and the Purple Lightning Sword returned to its original appearance, except that the originally inconspicuous golden light became slightly more obvious, and the sword body also exuded a noble temperament.

“what happened?”

The noise that just happened was not big. This place is some distance away from the instruments set up by the Special Affairs Bureau, and there is something covering it in the middle, so nothing unusual should be discovered.

The Purple Lightning Sword did not reply.

Heath walked around the unclear figure and cut off a small piece of stone sample to take back to Augustus.

The Purple Lightning Sword was pulled out of the solidified magma by itself, and with a slight shake, the dark human figure shattered directly and scattered into small pieces of rubble, making it impossible to distinguish its original appearance.

It seems that the relationship between the two is not good, and can even be called bad.

The Baron suddenly appeared beside Heath, looking around.

“Looks like I don’t need to help anymore. I thought there would be many lava monsters popping up like on the Shiretoko Peninsula.”

The baron did not forget that the last time he and Izumi Ringo were restricted by that strange area on the Shiretoko Peninsula, the energy they consumed could not be replenished, and they were eventually defeated in the cave.

He could clearly feel a similar domain power when he first arrived, but now it has completely disappeared with the condensation of the magma.

Although the area of ​​Shiretoko Peninsula disappeared on its own in the end, it is obvious that its disappearance was closely related to this sword.

I didn’t expect that the sword I summoned at the beginning would have such strong growth potential. It couldn’t be a lost artifact or something.

Unfortunately, it seemed that all his luck had been used up here. The weapons he summoned afterwards were not only mediocre, but most of them had no special effects.

“I heard that on the day of the eruption, a large number of magma monsters were chasing a transcendental person of unknown identity. Maybe this is why the power here is different from that of the Shiretoko Peninsula.” Heath thought.

“A mysterious existence?”

The Baron suspected that the same person was responsible for activating both volcanoes, but he did not know the other person’s identity and purpose.

“After being activated, the power of the volcano monsters seems to be getting weaker and weaker. And judging from the situation of the magma monster chasing that person, they can’t be in the same group.”

“Rather than being activated, it’s more like being forced to wake up.”

“After waking up, it couldn’t continue to sleep and could only die. So, it is likely that the mysterious existence took something away, which made the magma monster chase it at all costs and then die.”

This result was discussed between him and Augustus before coming.

Although Augustus was also interested in this, he had just obtained the divine blood and was busy with research. Everything else had to be put on hold in the face of this matter, unless the new Moon God came down to earth to find him in person.

It was also at this time that Zi Dian Jian asked to go and take a look, and Heath took him along.

The baron had experience with this, so he followed along. Heath wanted to take back the Purple Lightning Sword, but the moment he grasped the hilt, he felt a tingling sensation, as if the Purple Lightning Sword was resisting.

But soon, this resistance subsided and returned to silence.

Originally, the Purple Lightning Sword had a lot of mumblings, and these words would echo in Heath’s mind without any hindrance, causing him to be troubled by them for a long time.

But since Augustus gave it one of the three divine artifacts, the Sky Cloud Sword, it swallowed it, these mumblings gradually became less frequent, and the communication of the Purple Lightning Sword also gradually became more organized. For example, before, it would not take the initiative to ask to go somewhere.

Now, after absorbing the power of the magma, it has become even more silent. He can no longer hear the sound of the Purple Lightning Sword unless the other party takes the initiative to convey a message to him.

It’s like a person who is in a daze, has lost his memory, and can’t even take care of himself, gradually regains his past memories and, by the way, regains the ability to take care of himself.

From a psychopath to a cool person.

This made Heath feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he was more worried. When the Purple Lightning Sword completely recovered its memory, would the contract made before still be recognized?
Picking up the Purple Lightning Sword, Heath asked tentatively: “Next, is there anywhere we want to go?”

The Purple Lightning Sword did not reply, but simply controlled Heath’s arm, raising it toward the south with the tip of the sword pointing straight ahead.

“You mean, the next volcano to erupt will be in the south? Can you tell us what these volcanoes represent and why they erupt?”

The Purple Lightning Sword was silent for a moment.

[Evil God’s Parasite]

“parasitic?”

Heath frowned, not understanding the exact meaning of this sentence.

Parasitism? Parasitism of the Earth?

What kind of existence can parasitize the earth?
But when he continued to ask, the Purple Lightning Sword did not give an answer, so Heath had to give up, put away the Purple Lightning Sword, and head south with the Baron.

They didn’t know the exact location. If they were guided by volcanoes, the south was at the junction of the plates, and there were a large number of volcanoes, and no one knew which one it was.

After all, the volcanoes on the Shiretoko Peninsula and Jeju Island were not famous for their volcanoes before.

They left Jeju Island quietly and headed towards the broken archipelago in the south.

“Then, the position of the new president of the Heavenly Node will be handed over to Louis. Louis, I hope you can continue to lead the Heavenly Node on the right path.”

Paradise Node.

In a meeting of full members.

Hedwig rarely presided over the meeting in person, and after a vote, announced Louis’ successor.

Mr. Li is a very competent president. Everyone in the Heaven Node has received his guidance. Most of the teaching materials are compiled and organized by him personally. He can be said to be a walking encyclopedia of divine grace.

His death is undoubtedly a blow to the Heaven Node. At least for a long time to come, no one in the Heaven Node will be able to climb to the forefront of divine grace research again. Even with the notes he left behind, they do not have his talent and spirit of exploration.

You may not even understand it.

This means that the Heavenly Node’s research into Divine Grace is about to fall behind that of the Soul Assembly.

This is difficult for many members to tolerate.

“I will follow Mr. Li’s wishes, take him and Mr. Jeremy as examples, fulfill this position well, and let God’s grace…”

In the virtual image of the Heaven Node, no one could tell Louis’ condition, but when they saw him in reality before, he was indeed much more haggard.

He did not make any passionate speech, but simply talked about the arrangements left by Mr. Li and how he planned to expand according to these arrangements.

After listening to this, everyone gradually felt relieved.

They are quite satisfied with Mr. Li’s long-standing policies and strategies, and do not want to see Louis overturn them. Now the result of continuing to follow the established strategy is the best.

Among them, only Bailong seems to be relatively out of the matter.

The wound inflicted by the Son of the Mother God that day has not healed yet. If this meeting was not about commemorating Mr. Li and voting for the new president, he would not want to attend.

Hasam listened very carefully and even took notes, writing down the key points that Louis said.

[Louis is very capable, but I am worried that he will lose himself in his confidence in his own abilities. Please help me check and balance him. If that day really comes, don’t help him. ]

He kept Mr. Li’s last words in mind and didn’t tell anyone.

He naturally did not want to see a scene of falling out with his enemies, but he also believed in Mr. Li’s judgment.

He will keep an eye on Louis and will never let him lose himself!

Hasam knew it very well.

The Heaven Node is capable of mobilizing enormous power.

Once Louis develops any ambition or becomes arrogant, the whole world will be affected.

However, he obviously couldn’t say such things in advance, so he could only keep it in his heart and keep an eye on it.

“.We and the Special Affairs Bureau can only find some of Mr. Li’s relics. According to his suicide note, we will bury him in the same cemetery as Mr. Jeremy. The actual memorial service will be held in three days. I will be waiting for everyone in London then.”

Louis’ speech ended, and the change of president of the Heaven Node was officially completed.

“Teacher Bailong, what do you think of Louis? What kind of person do you think he is? Has Mr. Li ever discussed relevant matters with you?”

After the meeting, Hasamu asked about the white dragon that resides at the Heavenly Node.

Mr. Li also often conducts experiments in the Paradise Node, so there is a lot of communication between the two.

“Hmph, maybe Mr. Li told you something before he died. Don’t worry, I won’t ask any more questions.” Bailong, who looked like a little boy, directly exposed Hasamu’s evasiveness.

Hasamu was a little embarrassed. He had just thought of not telling anyone and handling it by himself, but he didn’t expect Bailong to see through it at a glance.

Was it that obvious? Or was it because Bai Long saw so many people that he was able to make accurate predictions?

Then his judgment is even more credible!

Moreover, it would not be easy for him to check and balance Louis in the future alone. If he could get Bailong’s help, he would be able to gain the attention of some people.

“He, Mr. Li and Hedwig have done him a favor, so if the president is these two people, he will be absolutely loyal.”

“But the current situation is that he has become the president himself, and Hedwig is not someone who likes to meddle in management, nor does he have much management ability, so no one can restrain him.”

“Unlike Mr. Li, who does not need to be restrained by others because his bottom line is very high and unshakable.”

“Luis is most likely to gradually lower his bottom line in order to achieve his goal, and he may even be a little eager for quick success. You can’t tell these from the surface. I can only make a rough analysis of this after talking to so many people.”

Bai Long’s explanation made perfect sense.

This statement is very similar to Mr. Li’s.

Hasamu took a deep breath and looked at Louis who was talking to Hedwig in the distance, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
