Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1101: The Key Retaliation

Everyone clapped.

"All of you are heroes for participating in this defense against the superior worlds of antiquity! Without your assistance, we wouldn't be victorious now." Zhang Lie continued, "Next, we'll distribute the spoils of war—two superior worlds, and the energy from two other superior worlds."

The draconian sage called out, "To be frank, you all took down the four superior worlds. We shouldn't get any credit for this."

Li Zongming nodded. "After all, all we did was defend."

Sun Mengmeng acknowledged their concerns. "We've discussed matters to some extent. Our captain will deal with it."

Sun Xiaowu shrugged. "A superior world's energy doesn't help us, after all."

Zhang Lie suggested, "Let's split up the four worlds' superior energy into forty portions, one for each person, then. My team represents nine people.

The draconian sage and Li Zongming will each get two portions of energy, and I'll use the rest to feed my genetic lifeforms. Is that acceptable to everyone?"

Sun Mengmeng spoke for the members of Team Zenith. "Yes, Captain!"

The draconian sage and Li Zongming also nodded.

After Zhang Lie distributed the superior world's energy, he continued, "Next, we have to consider another problem—the meddling of the king of keys.

Since the king of keys interfered with our war against the four superior worlds, he'll have to pay a commensurate price. We can't let go of any superior king of antiquity, and we can't ignore the fact that the king of keys' subordinate kidnapped Gold Comet."

Sun Mengmeng nodded. "We'll do as you say, Captain!"

The others agreed.

Li Zongming added, "As I said, I'll support you."

The draconian sage shrugged. "I'd like to say I'll support you too, but I doubt I'll be able to do anything."

After all, Zhang Lie and the others had long since grown stronger than the draconian sage, and the draconian sage was hardly able to take part in the battle against superior kings, let alone this time, when their opponent was the most ancient king.

"Of course, I'll do everything I can," the draconian sage pledged.

Li Zongming said, "The problem is, we don't have any idea where the king of keys is located."

Hong Xi asked, "Can't we pinpoint the king of keys' location using the same strategy as last time?"

Li Zongming replied, "I know where the king of keys' jurisdiction is."

"Let's set off, then!"

Zhang Lie immediately set off with the members of Team Zenith. ?However, when they got to that location, they found themselves flummoxed.

Li Zongming had led them to the king of keys' supposed jurisdiction, but there wasn't even a single world there—only the ?void of space.

Sun Xiaowu suggested with a frown, "Could the king of keys have heard of our plan and run off with his various worlds in tow?"

Yang Ze also frowned then. "Surely the most ancient superior king wouldn't fear us?"

Li Feng replied, "Is that really so unusual? After all, we've already destroyed four superior worlds of antiquity. I think it's normal for the king of keys to be fearful."

Zhou Ying asked, "How would the king of keys have learned about that?"

Sun Xiaowu replied, "Didn't the king of keys send someone over?"

Yang Ze asked, "Are you sure the king of keys' subordinate told him about it?"

Li Feng asked, "How else?"

Sun Xiaowu added, "According to the Zongming king, the king of keys' subordinate saw the king of black fog's avatar being vanquished before he ran off."

Yang Ze refused to budge. "But how could the king of keys' subordinate be certain? Remember how proud and arrogant these superior worlds are."

Li Feng mulled things over. "Proud and arrogant in their invincibility, so—"

Sun Mengmeng interrupted them. "Hold it! We're all going off-topic. Shouldn't the most important question right now be whether these worlds can be moved at will at all?"

Zhang Lie hummed thoughtfully. "So where could these worlds be now?"

The members of Team Zenith were all silent.

Zhang Lie frowned. "The most ancient king is truly strong to be able to stump us from the very beginning."

Sun Mengmeng asked, "What do we do now, Captain? We can't even find our opponent!"

Zhang Lie nodded seriously. "Now I'm even more certain that we have to destroy the king of keys."

An opponent they couldn't find was very dangerous. This meant that the king of keys could attack them at any time, but not the other way around.

Zhang Lie said, "Perhaps no one in the third realm knows where the king of keys is—save one person, an omniscient existence in the third realm."

"Who?" Sun Mengmeng asked.

"The king of chaos!"

The space before them split into twenty-four segments.

"As expected, Zhang Lie, you found me." The layers of space split apart, revealing a man in a white lab coat.

Zhang Hanxiang recognized him instantly. "One of the king of chaos's clones!"

Zhang Lie frowned. "So you were following us."

Nightdemon smiled gently. "I've always been very interested in all of you—even more so now that you're waging war against the superior worlds of antiquity. You've freed up quite a lot of my clones from their surveillance duties, so now they're following you around."

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "What purposes do they serve beyond snooping around?"

Nightdemon shook his head. "They're not snooping, just gathering information about the realm. I can hardly operate without any knowledge, can I?"

Zhang Lie had no interest in chatting with Nightdemon.

"I need to know the king of keys' present location."

Nightdemon looked up at the sky. "The king of keys is rather difficult to find. He's a very interesting existence, you see, having swallowed up countless worlds of various sizes. All the worlds in his jurisdiction are now floating around in his body. He wanders around the third realm with them in tow."

Zhang Lie frowned. "So he's very much like the death spirit king, isn't he? Why didn't all of you punish him for the same reason?"

Nightdemon shrugged. "There are plenty of reasons. First, the king of keys' personality is far less malevolent than that of the death spirit king. Second, the king of keys' physical body is very difficult to deal with. Third, the king of keys was one of the original founders of the superior kings' meetings."

Zhang Lie was unconvinced. "So it boils down to him being stronger."

Nightdemon laughed. "Perhaps to other kings, but not to me."
