Chapter 286 Past Life, Past Past Life?
As if never knowing fatigue, Hakuto stepped forward step by step toward the Liu Mansion. The places Hakuto passed through had long been deserted.
Clearly, the residents there had already been evacuated.
Countless Not Express's members appeared and stood in Hakuto's way. Hakuto's actions had been publicized, so Great Ming had no choice but to send people to deal with him.
Facing these people blocking his path, Hakuto stopped walking. Then he sneered. "You could have lived a little longer. But unfortunately, you've given up your lives."
The Da Xia Long Que appeared in Hakuto's hand. He didn't use Conqueror's Haki Infusion. Instead, he walked out step by step.
Those who attacked him, those who blocked his path, all fell at Hakuto's feet. Some had their necks cut. Some were split diagonally in half. Some were cleaved down the middle. The ground was littered with entrails and severed limbs.
Yet their attacks could never penetrate Hakuto's defenses. Hakuto's contracted Spirits actively blocked all attacks for him. So Hakuto only had to consider how to kill the people in front of him with the simplest movements.
These people couldn't stop Hakuto's pace. He continued killing one by one. All who blocked his path became corpses at his feet.
If not seen with one's own eyes, who would believe that such a person could exist? These people weren't ordinary citizens. They were members of Not Express, the official organization for handling supernatural beings.
And those chosen to block Hakuto were naturally not simple. Their strength was considerable. At the very least, they were Tiger-level members, with a few Demon-level members.
"Damn it, this guy is definitely God-level. We're just going to our deaths here!"
Someone among the Not Express members said this. Instantly, many people fled from Hakuto. Hakuto turned a blind eye to this. As long as they didn't block his way, he didn't mind letting them live a little longer.
"You don't have much longer to live. While you're still alive, go and squander your remaining time recklessly. I will sound the bells of the end."
Hakuto's voice drifted over. Then he walked away step by step. The Not Express supernatural beings had grim expressions. Then, someone shouted, "This kind of monster can't possibly be defeated. We're finished. The only thing we can do now is enjoy what little time we have left."
Hakuto ignored these supernatural beings. His footsteps remained firm as he continued toward his destination. Unbeknownst to him, everything he did was being broadcast live.
Countless Great Ming citizens watching in front of their televisions had originally wanted to see how this heinous demon, Yagami Hakuto, would be killed. But the result was the opposite.
The girls were also watching the live broadcast. Alice asked anxiously, "Why has Haku become like this? What did you do to him?"
Natsuki turned off the TV. "We didn't do anything to Hakuto."
"Stop lying. If nothing triggered Hakuto, he wouldn't do something like this. Now tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"
Kaguya directly interrupted Natsuki's attempt to explain. Natsuki smiled bitterly, then answered the question.
"It's Hakuto's mother. Her grave was dug up, and her ashes were scattered. That's why Hakuto has become what he is now."
Shock. Kaguya couldn't believe it. Then she coldly said, "So you called us here to get us to stop Hakuto?"
"Yes. I believe that the only ones who can still stop Hakuto now are you. We cannot let Hakuto complete his evil godification. Otherwise, Hakuto will no longer be human."
Natsuki looked at Kaguya, then continued, "A Hakuto who is no longer human, will he still have humanity? Will he still love you?"
"Are you trying to deceive us with such lies, to get us to help you make Hakuto change his mind?"
"Yes. But this benefits you as well. At least this way, Hakuto won't become an evil god. He can still retain his humanity. He can still love you."
"What you're worried about is that after Hakuto becomes an evil god, Emperor Shengzong won't come back. So the fact that Hakuto has become like this now is partly your doing."
Kaguya's eyes were like knives as she looked at Natsuki and the others. Her eyes were filled with hatred. If it weren't for these people, Hakuto wouldn't have become like this.
"We never manipulated Hakuto's fate. In fact, it was only after knowing Hakuto for a long time that I confirmed he was the reincarnation of Emperor Shengzong."
Natsuki explained sincerely. But what was the use of saying that now?
"What use is it saying that now? Would Hakuto believe it?"
"I've decided. I'm going to stop Hakuto."
Suddenly, Yukino spoke. She looked at the others. "I don't know what you all think, but I cannot stand by and watch those innocent people die because of Hakuto. Over fifty thousand people. Over fifty thousand people have died because of Hakuto. Hakuto did this with his own hands."
No one said much about Yukino's thoughts.
"Everyone, how about listening to my opinion?"
Suddenly, Sakayanagi Arisu spoke, drawing everyone's attention. After everyone looked at her, Arisu finally spoke. "Previously, I received a mysterious memory. A diary reward. I think you should still remember."
Reminded of this, everyone naturally remembered. They looked at Arisu, waiting for her to say something they could agree with.
"This memory is about Emperor Shengzong. Besides Emperor Shengzong, Hakuto has another past life. Hakuto is not the first reincarnation of Emperor Shengzong."
Everyone looked at Arisu in disbelief. Arisu continued. "Emperor Shengzong's first reincarnation was Liu Mao Xing."
Shock. Everyone present was shocked. Hakuto's past life was Liu Mao Xing. His past past life was Emperor Shengzong?
