Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 396 Power
“That was once .”
Lord Zero said calmly: "Now that I am in charge of the parliament, I have the final say here. I have two vetoes, and I can kick you out if you don't obey."
"You tampered with the rules of the parliament?!" The original owner was shocked and angry: "This was established by the Emperor of Man."
"The Emperor is long gone, so there should be new rules here." Lingzhu said coldly, "Even if the Emperor comes back, I will have an explanation, but there is no need to tell you . You just need to obey."
The original owner looked at the young face of the Zero Lord. He looked like a teenager no matter how you looked at him, but his eyes were deep and reserved, like an abyss that was impossible to look into.
His eyes slowly swept over Wan Zhu, Yu Zhu and others, and seeing that they were all looking at the table in silence, he immediately understood.
"I see."
The original owner said in a low voice, and he also chose to lower his head. From the brief confrontation just now, he couldn't judge whether the power of Lord Zero could deal with it, but he knew that he was definitely not a simple character to be able to make others so obedient.
"That's good to know."
The coldness in Lingzhu's eyes faded slightly, and he said calmly: "Then let the ceremony begin."
Wanzhu nodded and immediately gave a look to the king waiting beside him.
Although the ceremony was grand, it was also relatively simple. It was nothing more than introducing the original owner and Xu Shen to the kings present to avoid future offenses. It also prevented Xu Shen and the original owner from going out to do things in the future and not being able to use the monarch's authority, and having to rely on threats of force.
Seeing Xu Shen and the original owner on the high platform, some kings from the Mo family, Jiang family and other families who knew Xu Shen were shocked.
They didn't expect that Xu Shen was really a monarch. He was obviously just the king of Dicheng, but he jumped into the center of power.
"He is the monarch..."
Jiang Yueli had a complicated look in her eyes. Ever since she learned that Xu Shen had become the king, she had also recovered her memories related to Xu Shen. She was the one who helped him open his eyes. From a fog dweller to a king, and then to a monarch, it only took a few years?
She could never have imagined that the boy whom she had once teased would now need her to look up to him.
"It seems that we still underestimated him..." The old king of the Jiang family's eyes flickered. He thought that Xu Shen was just stronger than an ordinary king, but he didn't expect him to reach the level of a monarch. It seems that Xu Shen had not shown his full strength in front of them before.
On the other side, both the Mo family and the Qin family became a little nervous.
They had a grudge against Xu Shen before and were worried that Xu Shen would retaliate, so they had already begun to think about how to make amends and repair their relationship.
By the time the ceremony was over and everyone was eating and drinking, Xu Shen and Lord Ling and the other monarchs had already left.
"Get ready and gather in three days." Lord Ling instructed several people.
After giving the instructions, he left.
After Lingzhu left, the original owner whispered to Wanzhu: "Have you been acting according to his mood all these years?"
Wan Zhu said helplessly: "It's because we can't beat him. The hard fist is king. There's nothing we can do about it."
"I advise you to stop provoking him. You don't know how terrifying he is. No matter what abilities you have, they will be useless." The owner of the education gave a light warning and turned to leave.
Wanzhu said to the original owner: "She is right. I know you are a little dissatisfied because you have not experienced his power. You will know it after you see it, but don't choose to take action when he is in a bad mood, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
After saying that, he also said goodbye and left.
Xu Shen exchanged a glance with the original owner, who snorted, "I didn't expect that after we came back, we would still have to look at other people's faces. Without the Human Emperor, someone wants to be the King of Monarchs. I really want to test what that guy is capable of."
Xu Shen recalled his encounter with Zero Lord in the Ruins Sea and thought, "Maybe it's the ability to ban all abilities?"
"Banned all abilities?"
The original owner was stunned, and then he thought of his brief confrontation with Zero Lord. His pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "Then doesn't this mean he is invincible?"
"Maybe."
Xu Shen also found this ability tricky. So far, probably only Pamela, who had mastered the scarlet cloak, could deal with this ability.
After all, no matter how extraordinary Lord Zero's abilities are, he would not have possessed them when he was a child. Even if he was born with awakened abilities and was an inhuman monster, it would be fine to kill his parents and prevent him from being born.
However, Pamyra has been locked in the past, and time cannot escape fate. The fact that Lord Zero can exist in the present is enough to show that Pamyra and Lord Zero have never had any contact.
Pamela does not exist in this world, and she cannot interfere, which means that sealing is a fact that she cannot change.
"wrong."
The original owner suddenly thought of something and said, "If his ability is to prohibit all abilities, and this is his ability, then it means that both he and his opponent have no ability. In this case, the advantage is not great. Unless the secret technique he has mastered is very powerful, he is not invincible."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Relying on secret techniques?
Maybe it's true, relying on physical combat is Zero Lord's weakness.
If you can defeat him in physical combat, you will win.
The original owner and Xu Shen looked at each other, and they both realized that this possibility was extremely high. In other words, if they wanted to keep their cards in front of Lord Zero, they had to improve their own secret fighting abilities.
Xu Shen has mastered many secret techniques, including the wave-layer attack and the sea-moon-rising body movement, but he feels that he may not be able to defeat Zero Lord with just these.
Lord Ling is more aware of his own weaknesses. As he has been in a high position for a long time, he must have collected a large number of top secret techniques and has long been trained into a little prince of fighting.
"I'll go back and prepare too." The original owner said to Xu Shen. Some things didn't need to be made too clear. He decided to start collecting secret techniques and practicing them hard now, so that at least he wouldn't feel so aggrieved in front of Lord Zero again.
He is a monarch after all, but he has to depend on others. This feeling is too uncomfortable.
Xu Shen nodded, and he also had to go back to prepare.
After bidding farewell to the original owner, Xu Shen returned to the inner city and began to study the secret art.
The secret technique cannot be mastered overnight, but at least we know the direction .
Although it is not necessary to fight against the Zero Lord, you must have the ability to protect yourself from him.
At night, Xing Jun, Xia Jingxiang and others also returned to the city one after another. After saying hello to Xu Shen, they went to rest.
This ceremony also opened their eyes. Although they had become kings before, they were restricted by the bottom city and were not welcomed in the inner city. Therefore, except for being superior in front of the two states, they were always rejected in front of other kings.
Now that the other kings know that Xu Shen is the Lord of Bright City, they have become much more polite to them.
Late at night, five gifts were delivered to Xu Shen along with the late night visit of five kings.
The kings who arrived were from the Qin family, the Mo family, the Jiang family, the Qiao family, and the Lin family.
They are all the seven major families in the inner city.
The Mohist school sent Mo Mingyuan, who stood in front of Xu Shen with a face full of shame and sigh, and apologized to Xu Shen with a sincere attitude.
All the face and previous grudges seemed to be thrown aside. Even though he was extremely reluctant in his heart, the king was able to let go and would not continue to make fools of himself and provoke Xu Shen.
To take revenge on the monarch is just wishful thinking.
If a monarch were so easy to retaliate, he would not be called a monarch.
This is not just about having one more thing than them.
Compared to the Mo family's admission of defeat and apology, the Qin family did the same, while the Jiang family, the Lin family, and the Qiao family came to visit, wanting to get closer to Xu Shen. The gifts they presented were all Xu soldiers, quasi-legendary level with a weight of 15.
A gift of this level would be enough to make the seven major families feel distressed.
Xu Shen did not refuse this and accepted all the offers.
Then let the Star Lord find pairs for these Xu soldiers, and they will immediately become legendary Xu soldiers.
If there is something suitable for him, it can greatly enhance his strength. If not, it can also be given to Chen Han and others.
At present, the soldier Xu Shen is using is still Pamira's scarlet cloak.
As for the Guibu Military Book, it was too unstable, so Xu Shen kept it in reserve for the time being and waited until it reached perfection before making any further decisions.
"Termite City has changed a lot now. When I returned to the bureau, I could hardly recognize it." After giving the gift, Jiang Yueli had no intention of leaving immediately.
When Xu Shen saw her coming, he didn't know whether she came here on her own initiative or it was the old king's intention.
Either way, it doesn't matter now.
Things and people have changed. The woman in black stockings who used to tease him simply has become much more worldly-wise.
And I don't wear black stockings anymore.
Xu Shen sighed secretly.
"Come back more often when you have time. Lao Wang misses you very much." Xu Shen said to Jiang Yueli.
Jiang Yueli was stunned for a second before she realized who Lao Wang was. She couldn't help but give Xu Shen a look that was full of charm and maturity. She said, "What about you?"
"I welcome it too." Xu Shen said with a smile.
Just a welcome? Jiang Yueli felt regretful and a little disappointed. She smiled and said, "I will come often, as long as you welcome me."
After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye to Xu Shen and left.
Xu Shen asked Lou Haiyin to send her out, and at the same time saw Chen Han returning.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the A-level ruins in the Nightingale District have been dealt with." Chen Han came back to report.
As soon as he came back from the ceremony, he learned that an A-level ruin had appeared in the city, and he was immediately ordered to go and destroy it.
Xu Shen nodded, a trace of worry in his eyes. In just a day or two, A-level ruins appeared in the city, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.
The number of kings in other cities is not so large, and they are probably already overwhelmed.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen looked at Xing Jun, "You are here, is Xingchou City okay?"
"With the deputy city lord in charge, we can temporarily leave those that cannot be solved alone." Xingjun said, "I guess other cities are also adopting the same strategy. At most, they will turn some residential areas into restricted areas. Unless these A-level towns are extremely hungry, they will not eat ordinary people. After all, ordinary people are the worst food for them, just like us eating cheap fried food."
"There are more A-level ruins. Although they are dangerous, the areas where they live do not have lower-level ruins such as B-level and C-level ruins. This can be regarded as a side effect to help us kill the ruins."
"You are quite thoughtful."
Xu Shen shook his head slightly. That being said, the harm brought by an A-level ruins is definitely far greater than that of a B-level ruins. The amount of food consumed is also much higher, and sooner or later it will eat up an entire city.
"If all else fails, we can only ask the parliament for help." Xing Jun glanced at Xu Shen. The Xu Shen in front of him was able to make such a decision.
Xu Shen thought of the kings stationed in Yunzhong City. Those kings were always waiting for the monarch's orders and their lives were quite leisurely.
"You run around these two days and help me find the next suitable Xu soldier as soon as possible. You can come back after you find it. I have other things to do next and I don't need you for the time being." Xu Shen said.
"Where are you going?" Xing Jun asked curiously.
"A forbidden area." Xu Shen didn't elaborate.
Upon hearing this, Xingjun did not ask any more questions. He immediately said goodbye to Xu Shen and went elsewhere to look for Xu soldiers that were suitable for the Guibu military book.
Not long after the Star Lord left, in the second half of the night, two figures quietly arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion.
At the same time, a letter was delivered to Nasefani.
Nasefani handed it over to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen took a look and asked Nasefani to invite the guests outside in.
Soon, the priest and another well-proportioned young man came in.
Xu Shen glanced at the young man, and found that he was also a king, with a thin face, narrow eyes, and a bit of sharpness and coldness.
"You are well-informed." Xu Shen looked at the priest. He could guess the purpose of the anti-internal army's late-night visit.
"Congratulations, City Lord."
The priest congratulated him with a smile. When he first heard the news that Xu Shen had become the monarch, he was still a little bit unbelieving. However, other monarchs in the anti-internal army organization had seen it with their own eyes, so he had no choice but to believe it.
