Chapter 122: Vol2 Ch20: Uncrowned

Translator: La0o9

Negary suddenly frowned as a huge amount of Disaster appeared in his perception.

That Disasforce carried a strong feeling of impact and destruction, as well as a sensation of heat.

There was only one person in the 6th domain with this kind of Disasforce, the man called Disaster King Apophis, Fang Ze.

〖 This should be our first meeting 〗

As Negary left the D.E.R division building, he immediately saw the young man stepping out of the car.

A mass of Disasforce was constantly surging and flowing around his body, apparently, after half a month of adapting, he was now able to derive and control his own Disasforce.

A layer of Disasforce was clinging to the surface of his body, making it so that any attack that reached him would be destroyed by his Disasforce.

And this was why Disaster Kings were ridiculous entities, they simply had too much Disasforce, enough to be immune to the majority of attacks as long as they wrapped themselves with it.

〖 Hm? Those clothes…〗

Whenever Negary used Disaster, he would always release it through his hands, because doing so anywhere else would be the same as destroying his own clothing.

When necessary, Negary naturally didn’t care about running around completely naked, but it was a good idea to take care of one’s own image on normal occasions. Sometimes, even outer appearance could be a part of one’s strength.

For example, no one cared if an ugly villain died, but a handsome or beautiful villain always had a lot of fans, sometimes even whitewashed to join the good guys, this was the power of a good appearance.

The clothes that Fang Ze was currently wearing were made of a special material that allowed Disasforce to easily pass through without causing any damage to it.

〖 As expected, the government of this world has researched and achieved considerable results regarding Disasforce 〗

Negary silently thought.

This wasn’t the Flame world. Aside from Eldridge who used the Last God to create the Last God serum, everyone else in the Flame world held a certain amount of respect towards supernatural abilities.

Their supernatural powers were obtained mostly through inheritance, they did not try to study the nature of those powers, nor further enhance it.

But this society wasn’t the same, the first thing they did after obtaining supernatural power was surely research. Researching it as thoroughly as they could, through which they would utilize this power more reasonably and effectively.

Naturally, part of this was because Disasforce stemmed from disasters and was destructive in nature. If it was some power with a gentler nature, they would probably play around with it a lot more.

Negary didn’t remain for long and left after observing Fang Ze for just a bit.

As soon as Fang Ze saw Negary, he felt a sense of discomfort. This sensation was hard to describe, but he was sure that it wasn’t jealousy.

Indeed, if comparing personal charms alone, wherever he stood, he would always be the center of attention.

But I don’t have a reason to be jealous, I am a Disaster King, one of those who stand at the peak of this world, a king doesn’t need to envy others.

This feeling seemed to be more instinctive, as if he had met a deviant or a traitor, inevitably making him feel a certain sense of hatred towards Negary.

…

“The uncrowned king that had given up his qualifications to be a king, instead became an error that shifted the star off-course”

Minister Chang read the words on the Doomsday stone tablet and sighed. This stone tablet recorded a lot of information, including past, present, as well as future, but most of this information was vague.

Some words seemed to hide some deeper meaning, some they had interpreted, but most of the meaning was quite unclear, such as the ‘crown’ that was mentioned over and over again.

They originally thought it was referring to a Disaster King Authority, but after some consideration, that didn’t seem to be 100% correct.

They knew that Negary was a visitor from another world as well as a few things about him, but they also didn’t know a lot of things. For example, they couldn’t tell from the tablet if his method to extend lifespan and resurrection were actually real or not.

…

〖 Modern times are not like the Middle Ages 〗

Negary was riding in a car. Now that his identity and other matters had been established, he could relax and develop his strength, continuing to study how to break through his own limits.

〖 The first order of business is to develop an intelligence network 〗

Negary narrowed his eyes, over half of the reason why he managed to develop in the Flame world so quickly was because of his wide intelligence network at the time.

The [Diffuse] germs, although it wasn’t as strong as the [Black Crow], and definitely incomparable to Soul’s Blood that had become Negary’s essence, its characteristic of being able to spread widely allowed it to become Negary’s best eyes.

As long as they were within the range of the germ’s spread, nothing could hide from Negary’s observation.

But this was a modern society. They had ways to control and quarantine diseases, so secretly spreading germs like he did before would only cause the other side to become vigilant and ask questions.

〖 How’s the company? 〗Negary asked.

“Everything has been greenlit and ready to go” Noah replied: “In addition, we’ve also been conducting talent recruitment. Quite a few people have been hired, but I’m afraid not all of them might be clean”

〖 So, there are undercover spies? 〗Negary muttered with a smile, completely unfazed. Undercover agents might be professionally trained and have excellent psychological qualities, but they were dealing with Negary.

He couldn’t be more familiar with the undercover cliché, everyone had their individual needs, so long as he grasped and exploited these needs, he would be able to manipulate and even turn those agents into people for his own use.

〖 In that case, let’s release our [Diffuse] germs in an open and honourable manner, although, its functions might need to be changed slightly 〗Negary mused: 〖 Cooperate as much as we can with the government. They hold the most information and is the fastest way to learn every secret we need 〗

〖 There is surely some sort of hidden secret in this world 〗

Negary still hadn’t forgotten about the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon who seemed to have vanished when they were supposed to have migrated with their entire races in tow.

If he was able to follow their footsteps from the passage of the first flame to this world, there was no reason why the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon who were both considerably stronger than him couldn’t arrive here.

Negary had even checked through the recorded history of this world. Normally, if something had happened, it would surely leave traces behind. Even vague legends could be traces of the existence of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon’s passing through this world.

But to Negary’s surprise, there were simply no traces, as if they had never been to this world in the first place.

〖 Did they not enter this world and instead opened up another passage to another world? 〗such a thought flashed through Negary’s mind, but quickly dismissed it. The New Deity and Progenitor Dragon might be powerful, but they weren’t powerful to the point of being able to perform inter-world travel as they pleased. Even entities of their level must have stopped by in this world in order to recuperate.

〖 And then there is the issue with Disaster Authorities 〗according to the records that Negary found, the first Authority Holder appeared over 120 years ago, and it was them who first founded this new era and world order.

It was at that time that the Disaster Management Department, the D.E.R division’s predecessor was established. It could be said that Disaster Authorities were something that only appeared in the last 100 years. Over 100 years ago, this was a no-magic world.
