Chapter 58: The Final Secret, Section 6
It was indeed the Moor Emperor. Moreover, it was a completely new Moor Emperor.
At this moment, what appeared before Black Hair’s eyes was no longer a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, but a humanoid monster clad in golden armor. It hovered in mid-air abruptly. Countless tiny spikes grew from the golden armor, resembling a hedgehog.
But Black Hair knew those were by no means ordinary decorations—they were weapons designed for combat. Because the Moor Emperor’s golden armor was, just like his Ya Zi, also a type of individual micro-mechanical suit!! And the space in which he and Red Beauty had been suddenly transported was no longer the blue sky and white clouds from before, but a place utterly indescribable.
The sky was gray and covered endlessly with dark clouds. The ground was barren yellow earth, cracked dry with web-like fissures everywhere. There were no visible boundaries around them, nor could they tell direction.
This was the extremely desolate place they were in. If it weren’t for seeing the Moor Emperor again, Black Hair would have thought he was dreaming.
Could it really be true as he said—that in this place, he was a god?
“Black Hair, be careful. He’s different from me. He’s a genetically perfect being. And even though we’ve been together for ten thousand years, he’s never shown his true strength. So not even I know what abilities he possesses. As for his golden armor, it’s a mental force armor he created a hundred years ago, capable of amplifying his mental power by hundreds of times. If I had to describe it, it’s similar to the magicians in old novels—through mental power, he can easily draw energy from the surrounding space to manifest it as fire or ice. His strength is extremely great, especially in this place, where his abilities can be fully unleashed.”
Seeing the confusion flash in Black Hair’s eyes, Red Beauty hurriedly explained. At this moment, Red Beauty looked disheveled because her lower body had been torn apart by Black Hair. Her red hair was wet and draped over her forehead, covered with sand from the environment. Without the cables that once supported her body, she could only stand with Black Hair’s help. Leaning on his shoulder, Red Beauty’s face was as pale as paper.
But this didn’t affect the two of them. Initially, when seeing Hei Fa actually tearing apart her cables, Hong Yan thought she was surely going to die. Yet, at the moment the cables were torn apart, a strange energy emanated from Hei Fa’s hands, quickly healing her wounds and restoring her strength. It was only then that Hong Yan realized her beloved had grown stronger over the years. Hei Fa was now a man truly worthy of reliance. Her earlier idea of joining the battle was completely unnecessary.
Women, no matter when, should always stand behind men. Broad shoulders are something they would fight to possess at any cost. In front of such shoulders, even if all the gems in the world were placed before her, she would disregard them.
Quietly watching Hei Fa’s back, Hong Yan’s gaze was as gentle as water…
At that moment, Hei Fa also straightened up. After glancing at the Moorish Emperor in the sky, his first action wasn’t to fight but to turn around. With a slight effort, he lifted Hong Yan into his arms. He gazed into her eyes tenderly.
“Perhaps our catching up has to wait. Hong Yan, though I’m very curious about how you’ve been these years, there’s a fly right above me, and I really can’t focus. I need to squash it now. Would you mind waiting a few more minutes?”
“Hehe…” Though knowing it was inappropriate, Hong Yan couldn’t help but laugh at Hei Fa’s words. Seeing her beloved so confident filled her with immense satisfaction. She teased, “Be careful then, Hei Fa. That’s not just any fly.”
“No matter how big, it’s still a fly. Hong Yan, I may not be good at fighting, but I’m quite skilled at swatting flies. Have you forgotten? I used to swat flies for you all the time. How many flies did I kill around you every month?”
“Indeed…” Hearing this, Hong Yan laughed too. Hei Fa was referring to their past on Earth. Because of Hong Yan’s beauty, whenever they went on missions, many men would fawn over her. It was always Hei Fa who dealt with them. Hong Yan loved watching him send those men flying. The feeling of having someone fight for one’s attention was truly wonderful. Every woman would surely feel proud and satisfied by that.
But the smile was just superficial. The true feelings of the beautiful woman were quite different. The reason she cooperated so much with Black Hair was to avoid undermining his confidence. In reality, the Emperor of Moore wasn’t someone easy to deal with—he was a terrifying emperor who had ruled the universe for nearly ten thousand years. With the strength of the Moore Empire, even if he had no combat skills, he could still be turned into an invincible killing weapon.
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman’s smile became forced. Seeing Black Hair carry her to the back of a distant mound and prepare to set her down, she immediately grabbed his hand.
“Promise me. You must come back.”
“Mm.” Black Hair nodded silently, stood up, raised his right hand, and slowly formed a fist above her head. Then he gave her a deep look.
“My promises are bound to be kept. When have you ever seen me break one?”
“Never.” Feeling Black Hair’s strong confidence, the beautiful woman’s expression gradually relaxed. Just as she was about to lie down obediently, she suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, Black Hair, be careful. He wasn’t lying just now—this space was indeed created by him. So here, he will be able to exert his full power. Although he may not yet reach the level of a god, he’s still extremely dangerous. If possible, stay away from him.”
“I understand,” Black Hair replied with a smile. Then he suddenly opened his fist.
The Ya Zi ability activated—energy absorption at 200%. Begin!!
The Ya Zi ability activated—energy materialization, activation in progress!!
The Ya Zi ability activated—energy shaping, mode: ultra-protection shield, spherical shape, diameter five meters. Create!!
“Hiss!!”
With a soft thud, Black Hair’s right hand suddenly emitted a gentle white light that enveloped the beautiful woman tightly, like a mother’s embrace. It twisted rapidly under his mental control. In just a moment, the white light took the shape of a sphere. The beautiful woman’s figure was swallowed by the light sphere and vanished from sight…
Seeing this, the Emperor of Moore in the sky couldn’t help but sneer.
This Black Hair still wanted to put on a show in front of him. Did he really think that a mere energy-based shield could protect the beautiful woman from being affected?
It was utterly absurd. Here, I am the god. A tiny shield would collapse in an instant under my will. If I wanted to, I could do it!! It’s just that it’s the beautiful woman… I’m still reluctant to let that happen.
At this thought, a smug smile appeared on the Emperor Mo’s face beneath his golden armor. But soon he lost his smile, for he was astonished to see that the ball of light he had thought to be a shield continued to change as Black Hair moved, quickly solidifying into a tangible form—one that resembled crystal!!
Was this… energy materialization?
Realizing that Black Hair wasn’t as easy to deal with as he had thought, the Emperor Mo’s expression turned serious. As an emperor, he certainly knew the power of energy materialization. The ability to turn energy into solid form at will not only provided impenetrable defense but also yielded astonishingly powerful attacks. A spear formed from energy could pierce through a Mo giant ship in an instant. Could his golden armor withstand such a fierce attack?
There was no answer. For the first time, the Emperor Mo felt uncertain about the situation. In fact, he didn’t know any more—what Black Hair was using was not energy materialization at all, but a far more advanced form of energy concretization.
What was the difference between the two?
“Emperor Mo…” As the crystal ball appeared, Black Hair’s smile gradually faded from his face, replaced by a deathly pale expression. The sound of him gritting his teeth could be heard clearly. He slowly turned around, facing the armored humanoid in the sky. His clenched fists trembled with rage. A terrifying killing intent erupted, lifting countless dust particles from the ground to form something like a tornado. Black Hair stood at the center of the tornado, looking like a demon.
Unfortunately, despite his astonishing display, it failed to intimidate the Emperor Mo. On the contrary, seeing Black Hair’s furious expression, this fearsome emperor burst into laughter.
“How about it? Exciting, right? Thrilling, huh? I told you before—I’m the best director. Black Hair, aren’t you impressed by me? I’m sure Red Beauty has also told you that I’m a complete genotype, while she’s only incomplete. So, do you want to know why? Beg me. If you beg me, I’ll tell you. Tell you, if you know this secret, it might even allow Red Beauty to become complete and return to normal.”
“Really!?” As soon as the Emperor Mo spoke, Black Hair indeed showed a surprised expression as expected, shouting in inquiry. This made the Emperor Mo even more proud. He laughed wildly and nodded.
“Of course it’s true. So, beg me. Black-haired, kneel down—yes, right there. Implore me, pray to me. Then I’ll fulfill your wish. After all, I’m a god…”
“A god?”
“Yes, a god,” said Emperor Moore with a smile.
“Damn you, you god!!!”
In the next moment, Emperor Moore’s smile vanished. A terrifying figure suddenly appeared before him and delivered a fierce punch to his face. He let out a groan and was sent flying like a meteor. Black-haired’s strength was so great that Emperor Moore was actually punched straight into the ground, creating a deep, bottomless hole in the yellow earth wasteland.
Meanwhile, the other black-haired person who had shown a surprised expression beside the crystal ball gradually disappeared into the blur.
The ability of Yazi—Reflection!! Completed…
