Chapter 1 A Name Buried Deep

Ma Er's hand trembled, and a laser cannon blasted into the distance. Everyone was startled, but not as much as they were by that name.

Nangong Yuhang…

A name buried deep in everyone's memory, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.

Chao Qinglong, Robbie, and the others stared dumbfounded at "Sirius," who was now silent.

His face showed a strange expression, a mix of relief and nostalgia, followed by a hearty laugh. "How did you figure it out?"

Did that mean he was admitting it?

Everyone was stunned. Nangong Yuhang, a man who had been dead for five years, was standing before them, possessing Sirius's body, and was also Noah's Ark. This…

"I was thinking, wouldn't an organization as large as Noah's Ark have a public identity? So Noah probably has other identities as well. At first, I had no way of knowing, but just now, when you were gloating, you called me Demon Li, and you liked saying Demon Li, Demon Li, just like you used to. Only you would call me that," Li Hao said.

Clap, clap, clap…

Nangong Yuhang in the mecha couldn't help but applaud, followed by a burst of wild laughter. "Wonderful, wonderful! As expected of my good brother, you and I are the only true heroes in this world! What do the others amount to? I knew that if there was anyone in this world who could figure it out, it would be you. Good, you didn't disappoint me. That name feels so foreign, like it belongs to someone else."

Chao Qinglong and the others didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was strange, but they felt a bone-chilling coldness. They were doomed. The Nangong family was actually Noah's Ark, and they had set up such a grand scheme. Everyone was a pawn.

"Why?" A voice rang out, like a living corpse. It was An Lita.

Nangong Yuhang completely ignored this foolish and pathetic woman. Now he no longer had to play the role of Sirius. He could be himself again, the "failure" who had died five years ago, the incompetent who had been ridiculed for five years. It was so unfair. He was the king!

"How I've missed you all! Well, now that we've reached this point, I won't hide anything from you. Someone has to witness history. The Nangong family is the controller of Noah's Ark, but in terms of resources and technology, they've always been suppressed by the Brotherhood controlled by the Melafis family. The Nemean civilization's technology was also divided in two, but they were mastered in different directions. Noah's Ark obtained Nemea's biological modification technology, while Melafis obtained armed technology. In order to completely solve this problem, the Apocalypse Youth Class was created. My goal from the beginning was to take over Sirius's body. Whether you were involved or not wouldn't have changed the outcome." At this moment, Nangong Yuhang felt particularly relieved. No matter how much he endured or strived, he was still a person. The sacrifices he had made over the years and the pent-up emotions were released at this moment. Admiring the shocked expressions of the crowd, Nangong Yuhang smiled. "You don't know how humble and pathetic the proud Sirius was when I devoured him, crying and begging me to let him go. He was too weak to bear the heavy responsibility of leading humanity!"

Everyone stared at Nangong Yuhang in disbelief. This had completely exceeded what a "person" could do, actually killing himself in order to take over someone else's body.

"Madman…" Maxis murmured. He was devastated. People had a bottom line, but this monster had no limits at all.

"Mad?" Nangong Yuhang wasn't angry at all. "There seems to be some truth to that. No madness, no success. I've already completed the integration of Melafis and Noah's Ark. With your Hegemon Body and the Nemean civilization's technology, I can realize my dream, break the corrupt old order, build a new world, and lead humanity to the stars!"

Looking at the terrified and twisted expressions of the crowd, Nangong Yuhang said calmly, "Well, let you die thoroughly. God has descended, and I am God's messenger, managing all of humanity, and even a wider world, as God's representative. Kepler is just an outpost. So, go in peace. Your sacrifice is for a better new world."

At some point, hundreds of monsters had appeared around the crowd, their green eyes staring at them. He was complete.

"You want the Hegemon Body so badly, but do you understand its abilities?" Suddenly, the engine of the Night God mecha roared, and the mecha took a step forward, trying to break free from the restraints of the barrier. Li Hao's tyrannical golden zone suddenly increased, actually possessing the power to resist the entire barrier.

Obviously, Venus had unlocked the control of the mecha. She no longer had a master. In her logic, Sirius's soul was dead, and she was free. As a two-dimensional life form, she never thought of herself as just a program.

Nangong Yuhang was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise. He knew that Li Hao was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. As God's messenger, his current body was already very good, but Li Hao's was better, more perfect. The divine envoy must have the best!

"Li Hao, my good brother, you always give me surprises. Don't move. I know you so well, how could I not know how powerful you are? Be good and listen to me. Maybe you can sacrifice Zuo Xiaotang, but what about all the little children in the orphanage, the ones you watched grow up? Oh, and the院长 (Yu) who raised you? The kindness of nurturing is greater than heaven. You've been patient all this time. Everything you've done is to protect them, right? If they are reduced to ashes, what will you have left to live for, all alone? What's the point of becoming a monster?"

"Li Hao, don't listen to him. He's a madman. If he takes over your body, he'll kill us all!" Robbie roared, but his voice was very weak.

"Second Brother, don't worry about us, fight him!"

"Brother, you can't do this…" Ye Tong's weak voice rang out.

Nangong Yuhang didn't care. "Xiao Tong, you're awake, my sister. Why are you still so immature? Just watch obediently. There's a place for you in the new world. Li Hao, I only want your body. I can let the others go. They're meaningless to me now. As for the orphanage, ha ha, as the leader of the new world, I still have this much tolerance. If you and I become one, they are also my family. I will take good care of them."

"Bullshit!" Zuo Xiaotang jumped up and pointed at Nangong Yuhang, cursing, "Brother Hao, don't listen to him, he's bluffing us. This kind of ruthless and unscrupulous person is just a madman. Let's just die together. We'll have company in the next world!"

Nangong Yuhang wasn't in a hurry and opened the Sky-net. The image of the Thunderfire fighter was projected, showing the orphanage in Tianjing. "Do I need to bluff you when I do things…"

But the image showed A Youyou and Wu Zang. "Li Hao, everything is fine here. We've taken care of some idiots. The reinforcements have already arrived. Don't worry about home!"

At this time, the area around the orphanage was full of people from the Wu family and the Darivan family. All the people from Noah's Ark had been killed. After Li Hao left, A Youyou realized that she was being followed. But A Youyou's private armed forces were nearby. How could someone so important really be alone? A Youyou immediately realized that the orphanage might be in danger. While rushing over, she also contacted the Wu family. The Wu family was the true dragon of Tianjing.

"Are you surprised?" Li Hao's expression didn't change, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, the Darivan girl is not only good-looking. After I finish dealing with business, I will let her experience what it's like to be a woman." Nangong Yuhang opened another window. "Nine Dream Weavers. I want to see who can deal with these rabble!"

This was Nangong Yuhang's last resort. He had thoroughly analyzed Li Hao's character. In fact, Sirius had also seen this. These people were Li Hao's weakness. Deep down, Li Hao relied on these people to get rid of loneliness and find the meaning of his life. So as long as he could control them, he could threaten him. Therefore, Nangong Yuhang had placed a heavy bet on this move in order to ensure that nothing went wrong. These nine Dream Weavers, using all the power of Noah's Ark, were sure to deal with a group of ordinary people.

Hearing about the Dream Weavers, Li Hao's heart began to sink. Even he would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with nine Dream Weavers, and there would only be traces to follow if the other party took action. The scary thing was that the people in the orphanage might have already been controlled.

Nangong Yuhang also felt the silence and despair of the crowd. His heart was extremely satisfied. This time he arranged the plan to the extreme. Back then, he mainly dealt with Sirius, but this time his target was Li Hao. He never failed when he took action!

"Take action, sacrifice a few first," Nangong Yuhang said calmly.

Under the control of the Dream Weavers, the puppets were completely controlled, and suicide was easy.

…There was no reaction in the image. A Youyou and Wu Zang were on full alert, and the surrounding people were also vigilant, but…

Nangong Yuhang also felt that something was wrong. The Sky-net immediately switched to the Dream Weavers' perspective… Every place only had a corpse with its brains splattered all over the ground. It could be seen that they had disguised themselves into various identities, but none of them had survived.

Not to mention Li Hao, even Nangong Yuhang was completely stunned. Each Dream Weaver was the essence of genetic technology and Nemean civilization. Only one could be produced out of tens of thousands of clones. He knew Li Hao's personality too well. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he mobilized the only nine Dream Weavers left, but they were all killed unknowingly?

Darivan? They didn't have this strength!

Wu family? Even more impossible!

"Kill them!" Nangong Yuhang knew that the situation was out of control. With an order, the monsters pounced on the crowd, while the power of the nine-headed statue firmly restrained Li Hao. He knew Li Hao's abilities very well, but Nemea was too far ahead. As long as he obtained his body, game over!

Venus immediately created illusions to confuse the monsters, while Ma Er and the others immediately attacked the nine-headed statue. But all the attacks were blocked by the golden energy shield. Nangong Yuhang didn't even look at them. Maxis and the others were now lambs to the slaughter. Most of their soul energy had already been absorbed by Nangong Yuhang. Controlling the nine-headed statue, he was equal to controlling Li Hao with the power of more than twenty people. No matter how powerful he was, he could only be devoured little by little.
