Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 249: Halt!

[???]

[???]

[Hey Streamer, did you not say they were immensely strong? How come they could not land a single hit on City Lord Grey?]

[Everyone, I read an article on the weaponry in the Whitespring cities. If what is written is right, then those lasers are easily at the level of the 12th level of the 2nd rank.]

[What?!]

[Yet, he absorbed all those attacks without getting harmed?]

Everyone was stunned.

The millions watching the stream, the people in the law enforcement bureau, and the high-order members.

This was impossible.

How did he do it?

[Wait, everyone! Could it be possible that City Lord Grey had already taken that step?]

[...]

[....]

[No way, right?! He is only seventeen years old! How can that be possible?]

[But on the other hand, it makes sense, does it not? His sharp purple horns and the beast form, it must come from his beast transformation.]

Everyone sucked in a cold breath.

That was right.

This freak of nature was only seventeen years old.

Were his power and talent that exaggerated, to the point he could directly reach the 3rd rank?

This was unbelievable.

”Why is City Lord Grey launching an attack on us?” Chief William’s face was ugly.

What did they do to deserve this?

Being outmatched by a seventeen-year-old aside, how would they show their faces to the public now that he had completely destroyed their strongest weaponry that they had been storing energy for countless years?

They would become a laughing stock.

However, just then, his phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID. City Lord Brown.

He was the City Lord of the three-city council.

”Yes. I understand.” Chief William cut the call with City Lord Brown with a grim look.

He looked at the personnel and officers in the room and spoke.

”Everyone, mobilize all the troops. We are going to face Grey Lockhart.”

In Ascension Province.

Alissa, Lia, Valeria, Little Hong, Werner, Meiling, and Meiying sat on a large sofa together as they stared at the screen with dark lines spreading across their faces.

”He really cannot sit still for a few days, can he?”

Everyone was speechless.

Alissa and Lia were both glancing at each other.

They were communicating using telepathy.

Lia: [Hey, how did he turn into a dragon?!]

Alissa: [I have no idea.]

She too was flabbergasted and somewhat bewildered.

It was clear that Grey was not related to her at all in any way, and him being reincarnated only deepened that gap between them as a family.

Yet, was there a possibility that he might actually be related to the dragon clan?

Alissa turned to Lia and spoke.

”He was a complete pure human before. There is no way he had a draconic bloodline in him. As a True Source Dragon, I would have noticed it already.”

By now, Lia and Alissa had both shared their secrets with each other and became closer.

Sure, Lia did not like Alissa for talking badly about Grey before, but she was not the type to keep things bad for a long time.

In fact, Lia understood Alissa very well.

Although she appeared cold, she was a good girl at heart, and even though she spoke rudely for the past few days she had been here, she had been trying her best to patch things up with Lia as well.

Lia immediately caught onto it with her experience as an extrovert.

It was quite a funny situation, but having a peer and friend who was the same gender as her was without a doubt good.

Recently, they had gone shopping together as well.

”You should already know what he is capable of by now.”

”If I am not wrong, he has the talent to copy things. Maybe he copied your form?”

However, as Lia was speaking, she paused midway because she realized how absurd she sounded right now.

...

”See, I told you, nothing will happen,” Grey said with a grin.

”Looks like your million-year-old experience is not enough to calculate this.”

”...” Xia Qingyue just stared at Grey with a blank look on her face.

”It is my fault for worrying,” she said with a huff.

Time and time again, Grey proved her wrong.

First, it was the corruption field, then his cultivation speed and city lordship, and now his transformation.

Was he really a man of miracles?

At this point, she no longer knew.

Then, dark lines appeared on her face.

”Hey, did you just call me a million years old?” Xia Qingyue gnashed her teeth in anger.

”I will have you know I am the youngest expert of my era and level. Before dying, I was only one hundred thousand years old.”

”...” Grey just stared at her with a blank look.

’One hundred thousand years old? That is expired.’ Grey thought in his mind.

Still, this lady had a lot of experience, did she not?

Perhaps for a being like her, one hundred thousand years was just equivalent to one year.

”Also, I have been meaning to ask.”

”But do you have a name?” Grey tilted his head curiously.

”A name?” Xia Qingyue was surprised.

Right.

She had never shared her name with him before, had she?

”My name is Xia Qingyue,” Xia Qingyue replied speechlessly.

”I am surprised that I have not told you my name yet.”

”I guess I am not relevant enough to you for you to tell me your name,” Grey sighed in sadness.

”It is not that,” Xia Qingyue said helplessly.

”There are a lot of things going on in my head most of the time.”

”I simply do not have enough time to care about the small details.”

When she thought of that, a hint of sadness flickered across her face.

Grey naturally noticed this, but he did not say anything.

As a one hundred thousand-year-old being, she must have a lot on her plate.

And it might just be related to why she fell into Blue Star and reached a state like this in the first place.

Xia Qingyue abruptly turned her head toward the direction of the three cities.

”Looks like they cannot sit still anymore.”

Grey nodded subtly as he also looked toward the three cities with a grin.

He felt presences from there.

”What are you going to do now?” Xia Qingyue inquired.

”I can back you up if you want.”

Xia Qingyue had hoarded a lot of cosmic energy here.

Hence, she was confident in her fighting abilities right now.

Using her law abilities was what actually drained her.

Then, a booming voice came from the three cities as several, almost hundreds, of 2nd rank experts flew out from the city.

”Halt your actions, City Lord Grey!”

”We, the Whitespring cities, have no enmity with you.”

”If you do not stop your advance, we will proceed to take action!”
