Yes, there are many.
A murderous glint flashed in Nangong Nayue's eyes. Artificial life forms—this research itself was an extremely inhumane form of research.
This is a general term for life forms created using biological and chemical techniques.
The decisive difference between them and synthetic organisms is that even their genetic factors are designed entirely by human intervention. However, despite the high technical difficulty of the application, the degree of freedom in design is also relatively large.
Indeed, there are research institutes on Itogami Island that conduct this research, and quite a few of them.
However, during her research at Scelter Pharmaceuticals, she saw so many petri dishes, and one failed culture after another, each one of which irritated Nangong Nayue.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
"Wait, since he's hunting vampires, he definitely won't just give up so easily."
"You want to use entrapment tactics."
"That's called waiting for him to slip up."
"They're all the same."
Kong Yang didn't want to dwell on this, but he wasn't particularly interested in this part of the story.
At most, she was only somewhat interested in the artificial life form girl 'Astarte'.
It's not that Kong Yang wanted to seduce a bro, it's just that in the original work, this emotionless little loli maid left a very good impression on Kong Yang. She was Nangong Nayue's personal maid, and she could also control familiars.
However, it was still early, and after finishing breakfast, the group headed towards Caihai Academy.
After all, both Natsume Yase and Yukina Himeragi are now students at Ayakai Academy, and Kong Yang is nominally a teaching assistant, although the teacher, Nagatsuki Nanami, doesn't need to be one.
"The plot is really a bit messed up. First it was Vatola, then the 'Right Arm of the Saint'. The order is a bit off, but it doesn't matter much."
On the rooftop, Kong Yang leaned against the edge of the railing and spoke slowly.
The current plot has already fallen apart. Putting aside everything else, even the spirit mediums originally designated by Akatsuki Kojou have now switched sides to his side.
'Swish~'
At this moment, a person arrived here. It was none other than Shizuko-ei from the Lion King Organization.
Although she is the leader of the three saints of the Lion King Organization, she is also a student at the Rainbow Sea Academy.
"Lord Xiangu Yong, the eldest of the Three Saints, what brings you here to see me this time?"
Xian Guyong looked at Kong Yang and sighed. If she could, she wouldn't want to come looking for this man either.
"Lord Kong Yang, the Lion King Organization has already sent your best sword sorceress and dancer to you. Why do you still need to kidnap the Fourth Progenitor's blood companion?"
"I didn't do this, it was my subordinate. I just wanted her to provoke Xiaogucheng, but who knew she would bring him back instead."
"In that case, could you please return Yui Haba and Shio Hisakawa to them?"
"It's up to them. Besides, I've never restricted either of them. They didn't want to leave, especially Yuri Haba, the medium of Lion Gold."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the princess you sent to Xiaogu City didn't take a liking to this 'king'."
This made Shizuka Koei frown immediately. In her eyes, everyone who came out of the Lion King Organization was absolutely loyal to the Lion King Organization, and such a situation could not exist.
However, she couldn't refute it, because Yuuri Haba wasn't there right now.
Most importantly, this man is unpredictable, and if you accidentally say something wrong and anger him, you'll be in big trouble.
Seeing Xian Guyong frowning, Kong Yang also took a few more glances at her with interest.
Despite her high position, having inherited the name 'Xian Gu Yong' at a young age, and possessing the prestigious title of 'Silence Breaker,' she herself is still just a student.
Wearing a school uniform, along with her outfit and the braids behind her, she really is quite a beauty.
What are you looking at?
"Look at the beautiful women."
"As expected, Nangong Nayue was right. The master really is a lecher."
"So what? I am the embodiment of the original sin of lust. This is my nature. Besides, what man is not lustful? Food and sex are human nature."
"You are quite the smooth talker, Lord Kong Yang."
Xian Guyong held a textbook and quietly watched Kong Yang with a very calm gaze.
"Alright, you came to see me, not just because of Yuri Haba and Shio Hisawa, right?"
"Yes and no."
"Is there anything else?"
"Naturally, I came here for the 'Fourth True Ancestor'."
"Koujou Akatsuki? What is the Lion King Organization trying to do now? You don't mean to try and control a True Ancestor, do you?"
Kong Yang chuckled and looked at Xian Guyong with a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
True Ancestors, in this world, are the 'nuclear bomb level' big shots of the mystical side. Each one of them is a monster with the power to overturn the entire world by herself. In particular, these monsters have lived for countless years and are all ancient monsters.
As for Fusang, a mere small island nation, its attempt to interfere with the awakening of the Fourth Progenitor goes beyond mere 'arrogance'.
However, in the original story, Fusang succeeded.
Akatsuki Kojou awakened and became the Fourth Progenitor, establishing the Fourth Night Empire with Itogami Island as its territory.
Yukina Himeragi, who came from the Lion King Organization, became the queen of Akatsuki Kojou and gave birth to his child.
The Lion King Organization of the 'Empire of Dawn' naturally also got involved.
In this remote far eastern land, the True Ancestor was born. Regardless of the process, the fact that Akatsuki, the Fourth True Ancestor, was a Japanese is enough.
Despite being stared at like that by Kong Yang, Xian Gu Yong remained completely unmoved.
After a while, Kong Yang also got bored and gave up.
"The Fourth Progenitor has now awakened its first familiar. Once all familiars are fully awakened, the true Fourth Progenitor will be born. You are looking forward to it, aren't you?"
"Indeed, but time and time again, I'm becoming more and more disappointed with Akatsuki Kojou."
Kong Yang said slowly, "Now that the plot has collapsed, the opportunity that originally belonged to Xiao Gucheng is almost gone."
Under such circumstances, can Xiaogu City still grow little by little?
Kong Yang was very skeptical about this.
Chapter Fifty-One: Kong Yang's Ambition!
For any transmigrator, the most hated thing is undoubtedly the 'protagonist' of each world.
Especially the protagonists in some harem anime, each one of them is someone that countless otaku wish they could replace. Now that he has transmigrated to this world, Kong Yang is no exception.
As the protagonist of this world, Kong Yang subconsciously didn't have a good impression of Xiao Gucheng.
"I don't know what the Lion King Organization is up to, but there's something I'd like to make clear to you beforehand."
"I'm all ears."
"This Itogami Island is now a game sandbox. Whether it's Akatsuki Kojou or anyone else, they are all pieces in it, and I am the one who wields the pieces."
What do you want to say?
"What I mean is, as the player, I have the power to overturn the board at any time."
'Boom~'
The combined power of Conqueror's Haki and the aura of a demon god directly enveloped Xian Gu Yong, who was not far away.
Suddenly, Xian Guyong seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with countless skeletons all around and the blood staining the entire world red.
In the center of this world, there is a staircase made of piled bones, and at the very top is a throne.
Kong Yang took his seat here, looking down at Xian Guyong from his elevated position.
In just a moment, Xian Guyong felt so insignificant.
"hu~hu~"
In just one second, Xian Guyong was leaning against the wall, his face covered in cold sweat.
In that instant, she didn't know what had happened, but that feeling, and that illusion of being stared at by a god like an ant, was something she would never forget.
Looking at Kong Yang in front of him, Xian Gu Yong was speechless, and his lips even turned a little purple.
This man is a complete monster; even the True Ancestor might not be able to compare to him.
Meanwhile, Kong Yang looked at the trembling Xian Guyong and a slight smile appeared on his lips. This was the result Kong Yang wanted. Keeping her in check would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
As for what just happened, it was not an illusion, but rather Kong Yang's karmic burden.
Kong Yang's hands were already stained with countless amounts of blood. In the previous world, he destroyed an entire world, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people.
All of this karma will be attributed to Kong Yang.
Of course, Kong Yang didn't care about this at all. As the embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins, what karmic obstacles did he have to fear? For others, this was troublesome, but for Kong Yang, it was a battle achievement.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Looking at Kong Yang, Xian Guyong said slowly, "This man is truly terrifying."
"I've said it many times, I'm just a demon king, the embodiment of the four deadly sins: lust, pride, wrath, and gluttony."
"Demon King~"
Looking at Kong Yang, Xian Gu Yong could not calm down for a long time. The moment just now felt like an eternity to him.
But in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, leaving her feeling as if she had been through another world.
However, although it was like a mirage, she couldn't forget the feeling. It was definitely not an illusion or any other trick, but rather Kong Yang showing her something he wanted her to see.
"A world does not need two kings, much less multiple kings. You should understand what I mean."
"You, you plan to attack the True Ancestor? How is that possible? Those are the True Ancestors of vampires, ancient monsters who have lived since ancient times, each one of them is a catastrophe-level existence."
"Natural disaster? If we're talking about natural disasters, then I, as the Demon King, should be the one facing natural disasters."
"What is your purpose in telling me all this?"
"The goal is simple: figure out your place. Otherwise, don't blame me for chopping off your claws that have crossed the line."
Xian Guyong remained silent; she couldn't understand what Kong Yang was trying to do either.
Moreover, he didn't care too much about the Fourth Ancestor. He regarded the other party as a toy and never regarded him as an enemy or opponent.
"I have one last question."
"explain."
"Do you intend to take over the entire Itogami Island for yourself?"
"To take it for myself? No, no, no, I want more than just a mere Itogami Island."
Kong Yang's lips curled up slightly, and an aura of overwhelming power emanated from him.
Unlike last time, this time it wasn't a Conqueror's Haki attack, but merely Kong Yang's own aura, and the reason for that was Kong Yang's 'ambition'.
"Everything in this world will belong to me; this world will become my backyard."
'Boom~'
Xian Guyong was suddenly struck dumb; this guy actually wanted to dominate the world.
This is utterly ridiculous. Even the three great True Ancestors wouldn't dare claim to dominate the world, yet this man actually has such thoughts.
However, Xian Guyong had a feeling that this man might actually be able to do it.
She quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it arose; she didn't understand why she would think that way.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Xian Gu Yong, I know you want to support Xiao Gu Cheng, this easy-to-control True Ancestor, and let him establish the Night Empire in the territory of Fusang. However, as I have said before, this place does not need two kings."
"I see."
Xian Guyong nodded. Kong Yang had made himself clear; he had also taken a liking to this place.
A territory does not need two kings, which means that between Kong Yang and Xiao Gucheng, the Fourth True Ancestor, one of them will definitely fall.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, compared to Kong Yang, Xiao Gucheng's claim of being a "true ancestor" was far too exaggerated, and he was far inferior in every aspect.
Although growth takes time, the path that the Lion King Organization has paved for him as the fourth progenitor is probably no longer needed.
