Chapter 651 Yunxian's Question
It turned out that Akashi came here early in the morning before dawn, preparing to hand over the Demon King trapped in the device to Musashi and Unzen.
However, the Demon King woke up the moment Akashi took it out of the ship's storage space, and forcibly destroyed the Siren's device that sealed her.
A thick black mist emitted from the body of the Demon King who had broken free of his bonds, triggering the resonance of the remaining invisible breath of will inside the Godly Tree before their eyes.
Fortunately, the Demon King himself was not very powerful in combat. Even if he resonated with the fragments of the invisible breath, he was easily defeated by Unzen and Musashi.
But they soon discovered that although the Demon King was beaten unconscious and controlled by them again, they were unable to completely dissolve the Demon King's aura. They could only continuously consume layers of barriers to isolate the black mist and slowly eliminate it.
This is also the reason why the three of them did not leave the Yushenmu barrier to participate in the New Year Festival, mainly to prevent the breath of breathing from spreading.
But this method ultimately treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
If the problem on the Demon King is not solved, once the breath on his body breaks free again, the invisible breath will come back again and again.
After listening to the three people's stories, Lin Lan, who had put Akashi down from his arms, couldn't help but asked Yunxian in confusion:
"I remember that the invisible breath should have been completely destroyed. Why can it still be induced by the breath of the devil?"
Yun Xian gently smoothed his hair and looked at his calm reply:
"What resonates with the power of disaster in her body is only the fragment of Xi's will left behind before she was killed by me, not the real body."
"Lord Commander, to put it in a more popular explanation, these will fragments are like toys without batteries, and the disaster power in the Demon King is their battery."
"If the Demon King is left alone, perhaps these fragments of breath's will... may give birth to a new disaster beast."
Through Yun Xian's explanation, Lin Lan finally understood what the devil meant.
No wonder the description of Abbott in his Hero's Illustrated Book states that the leader of the Demon King's Army will be reborn in the Demon King's Palace after his death.
Even Xi who was killed by Unzen can be affected by the power of the Demon King and may be resurrected. Wouldn't it be easy to resurrect Abbot?
"This is really tricky. It's not realistic to keep releasing the barrier for the Demon King."
Mikasa frowned and looked at the Demon King. At this time, around the Demon King's body, the inner barrier had signs of being corroded by black.
After Lin Lan remembered what the purifier said before, he suggested to everyone:
"Let me try to follow the operating procedures provided by Siren. In this way, Yun Xian will stay here with me, and you will retreat to the outside of the shrine wall to prevent the invisible breath from coming again later."
After speaking, Lin Lan repeated what the Purifier said to him to Yun Xian, Musashi and Akashi.
"this……"
After hearing his words, Yun Xian, who had always been calm, hesitated.
She was not worried that the Demon King would summon the fragments of Xi's will again after the barrier was released.
After all, the breath body that was her former shadow has been cut off by her, and the power of such fragments is not a threat to her.
Yun Xian was mainly worried about whether Lin Lan would be in danger if he came into contact with the Demon King at such a close distance.
But when Yun Xian hesitated, Musashi slowly said:
"Just do as the commander says."
"Lord Musashi, you should have seen before how dangerous the Demon King's aura is. Is the risk of doing this too great?"
When Yun Xian heard that Musashi, who had always been strict in character, would actually agree with Lin Lan's risk-taking approach, he couldn't help but frown slightly and wanted to refute.
But Musashi twitched his fox ears and said with a smile:
"On the way back from White Eagle with the commander, I saw with my own eyes that the commander has the power to restrain these disastrous auras. Both Bailong and Akashi can testify."
"Haha, Master Musashi is right. The commander really opened our eyes at that time. Great Sage, you can rest assured."
When Bailong heard Musashi mentioning her, he immediately laughed out loud and assured everyone.
She witnessed with her own eyes the commander used the elemental light spear to blow up most of the black crawling matter surrounding the monster's body on the sea with one blow.
And Akashi nodded repeatedly to Yun Xian. This little profiteer had seen Lin Lan earlier than all of them, and he knew that Lin Lan was no longer the strength of an ordinary person.
"Don't worry, Yun Xian. I cherish my life. Besides, you are still with me. If something goes wrong, I will definitely not show off."
Seeing that Yun Xian was still a little undecided, Lin Lan also expressed that he would not put himself in danger just to deal with the Demon King.
Having said that, Yunxian could only nod his head and agreed to Lin Lan's suggestion.
Before letting everyone exit the shrine, Yun Xian also gave some instructions to Nagato and Musashi, and at the same time gave Nagato a white guard, which can see through the invisible breath's deception.
After Nagato, Mikasa and others walked outside the shrine, Lin Lan also began to move his muscles and bones, preparing to gather the light elements as the Purifier said.
He slowly raised his right hand, and light spots formed by concentrated light elements like fireflies gathered on his palm. This strange scene made Yun Xian's face change slightly, and he sighed in surprise:
"Lord Commander, I didn't expect that you would have mastered this kind of power after coming to this world."
"Unzen, please stop teasing me. In terms of combat effectiveness, I can't keep up with you even if I have dozens of them."
Lin Lan smiled at Yun Xian while gathering light elements.
He had a good idea of the power of the hero.
But Lin Lan noticed that after hearing what he said, Yun Xian's deep purple eyes that were not blocked by her bangs kept staring at him.
To be precise, she was staring at the white light ball that was constantly gathered by light elements in his right palm.
"Commander, how do you... view this power?"
For some reason, Yun Xian suddenly asked him such a strange question.
"How do you view it? Of course it's convenient, at least I have a certain degree of self-protection power."
Lin Lan answered truthfully. He was not really interested in the power of the hero.
After all, when he first crossed over, he didn't have any transcendent power at all, and he even had to meet the Iron Blood Ship Girls for so long before he awakened the hero's skill bar.
So far, the biggest effect of the hero's power on him is nothing more than enhancing his combat power in bed at night, and escaping danger a few times.
He never expected the skills of the hero to help him fight against the Sirens. With the commander's equipment delivered to him by the White Eagle Star Sea Base, he didn't even rely on these skills to protect himself when fighting against the Sirens.
To be honest, even if the hero's skill bar was removed from his body now, Lin Lan didn't feel any pain.
At most, he would just eat a few more seafood meals.
"It's good to have such a mentality, hehe~"
After getting his answer, Yunxian's originally somewhat solemn expression seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and she put down her worries.
The beautiful heavy cruiser ship girl showed a relaxed smile on her face again.
"The power like a god often makes people lose their minds. It seems that the commander is not affected."
"The power of the gods?"
Yunxian's words made Lin Lan's face change.
When he first showed the power of the hero to Akagi and Musashi, Akagi also said that the hero's skills were like the power of gods.
At this moment, Yunxian actually mentioned this metaphor again, which made him even doubt for a while. Could it be that the power of the hero really came from the gods?
