Chapter 178: Vol2 Ch76: Contaminating the [Protagonist Aura]
〖 There are most likely many kinds of [Protagonist Aura], this type that is created from the expectations of others can be called the Alaya [Protagonist Aura] 〗
〖 Alaya being the name of the collective human consciousness.〗
〖 Naturally, there should be more factors that make up a [Protagonist Aura], the collective expectations of humanity is only a part of this 〗
According to Negary’s general conjecture, the so-called concept of ‘destiny’ was most likely the course of events marked out by the collective human consciousness.
〖 As the Apocalypse that threatened to bring about the extinction of humanity appeared, the 10 Disaster Kings appeared in order to resist against it, followed by the King of People. This is the predetermined course of events of humanity, and any entity that tries to veer off this course will be faced with correction from ‘destiny’〗
〖 However, this Alaya’s tolerance of me is too great 〗
Negary’s body began to transform.
〖 Or rather, it seemed as if this was Alaya’s expectation in the first place 〗
〖 According to the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, in order to fight the Apocalypse, the so-called existence of the Lord of Aberration was necessary 〗
The Dragon of Eternal Sin’s humongous figure appeared on the battlefield. Compared to the previous Dragon of Eternal Sin, the current form had greatly changed.
Originally, there were a large number of irregular barbs grown on top of the dragon’s head, while its scales were full of nonsensical patterns; but if one focused their attention right now, they would find that the patterns on top of the scales were actually moving about almost like eyes.
The three pairs of fleshy dragon wings flapped and spread open wide, completely obscuring the sky above. Several sharp boney spikes protruded from the edge of the wings, seemingly enough to cut apart anything unfortunate enough to pass through while the wings moved.
Three layers of razor-sharp teeth were clearly displayed on top of the dragon’s chest. As it breathed, the jaws opened to reveal several bloodied hands inside, as if ready to grab and pull anybody foolish enough to approach them; occasionally, some faces or skulls could even be seen peeking out from within.
The long tail at the dragon’s back split into numerous tentacles at its tip, as the tip of the tentacles opened, toothy maws could be seen inside each of them.
This was a monster capable of inflicting fear to countless people at its mere sight, weaved within the inappropriateness of its existence, there was a certain beauty to its error, seemingly inheriting Negary’s fatal charisma.
“It’s useless, the crimson arrow in the sky shall judge your sin” Fang Ze was unfazed by Negary’s transformation, under his Authority, any struggle would only be faced with defeat.
Negary flapped his dragon wings, unleashing his [Dragon’s Pressure] for the first time in a very long time. In the Flame world, because the dragon race had their authority, they were able to force the rhythm of the world to match their own rhythm through [Dragon’s Pressure].
The dragon race naturally had no such authority in the Disaster world, so [Dragon’s Pressure] lost this effect. Currently, it was nothing but invisible mental pressure, which was also the reason why [Dracotongue] had lost half of its power, forcing Negary to imbue [Dracotongue] with Disasforce in order for them to exert the same power they used to.
However, this time was different. Something else seemed to have been added to [Dragon’s Pressure], a kind of power similar to Disasforce was exuded together with the [Dragon’s Pressure], causing everything around Negary to be repelled.
Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form raised its head, the immense power of Disasforce resonated with his [Dragon’s Pressure], forming a twisted power that was mercilessly unleashed:
〖 Jliost!! 〗
Unlike [Dracotongue] that was imbued with Disasforce, the power of this [Dracotongue] immediately broke through its previous limits, forming a visible pillar of light that clashed against the burning crimson arrow in the sky.
“This power…” Fang Ze’s expression warped. This pillar of light was blindingly eye-catching, visible to anyone that looked up.
As the pillar of light clashed against the crimson arrow, immense light was scattered into the surroundings. The survivors on the ground couldn’t see anything but white in their eyes as the loud boom drew their attention.
Fang Ze had had an expression of disbelief, the presence of that power was extremely familiar to him, it was the same presence that he exuded as he borrowed interference force from the people. In other words, Negary was using HIS ability.
Although Negary already had the Omniscient Eye that could siphon and store interference force, all he could do with that before was create an illusion, and one that couldn’t be finely controlled.
But now, he was able to unify that interference force, put it under control of a certain ability, and allowed his [Dragon’s Pressure] to once again obtain a level of authority in this world.
“How is that possible, my ability…” Fang Ze suddenly felt himself to be completely foreign, as if there was another ‘himself’ within his body.
Since the [Protagonist Aura] was created from the expectations of the people in this world, when Negary infected the majority of the people, he had also infected the [Protagonist Aura] to a certain degree.
As Fang Ze continued to use the power of the people, he was also infected by Negary in return, turning Fang Ze and Negary into two sides of the same coin. At the deepest reaches of Fang Ze’s heart, a ‘Negary’ had been created.
In essence, Killer J and Noah could also be regarded as Negary, yet they were still capable of using their own abilities.
In other words, the ‘Negary’ derived from Fang Ze was also capable of using Fang Ze’s ability.
Borrowing Fang Ze’s ‘King of People’ authority, [Dragon’s Pressure] once again gained authority and power in this world; a portion of power from the people infected by Negary were converged within this [Dragon’s Pressure], then imbued with Negary’s own Disasforce; through Noah’s [God’s Words Realized] ability and Fang Ze’s ability, everything was manifested as this superior [Dracotongue].
The crimson arrow that Fang Ze manifested in the sky was curtly destroyed by Negary’s [Dracotongue]; Alkman roared furiously and attacked Negary with his axe, only to be stopped by Negary’s giant dragon claw; his large dragon tail swung and easily sent Seven, who was trying to attack from the back, flying.
Faced with that overwhelming strength, Fang Ze no longer had the will to resist, not only could Negary use his prided ability, but he was also using it even more skillfully, displaying far more strength.
Negary flapped his dragon wings, expanding the range of [Dragon’s Pressure] once more, just in time for the sound of a ticking clock to resound.
〖 Kielit! 〗
The [Dracotongue] that meant ‘surging force’ was uttered, scattering the power of the ‘people’ into the range of [Dragon’s Pressure] through Negary’s control.
The power of time might be great, but as the power of the ‘people’ was surging through every inch of this vast space, to reverse time of this location meant they would also need to reverse time for the collective ‘people’ as well.
〖 Come, Disaster King of [Temporal Displacement], I’d like to see you try reversing time now 〗
“Hah…”
A long sigh was uttered with several different tones at once, the sound of the ticking clock within the area gradually stopped as a man slowly revealed himself. At first glance, he seemed like a young man; but the next time you looked at him, you’d see him as a middle-aged man; carefully observing him would reveal that he was actually an old man; and sometimes, you might catch him as a young child.
“King from another world, I ask that you stay your hand temporarily, please” this person whose entire timeline seemed to have overlapped at once slowly spoke, his voice sounded like a person at different ages in his life speaking all at once, which sounded incredibly eerie.
Negary’s large dragon eyes coldly stared at this person. The Disaster King who wielded the [Temporal Displacement] disaster had finally come out to the front stage.
“I am merely pleading for your excellency’s approval, would your excellency care to listen to what this one has to say?” The Disaster King of [Temporal Displacement] spoke in an unprecedentedly sincere tone. Quite obviously, he understood Negary very well and wouldn’t meaninglessly attempt to control Negary’s will
