Soon after, the fifth generation Kazekage personally took Scorpion into Konoha and held a meeting for several hours, during which Scorpion showed his professionalism as the fourth generation Kazekage.

The two countries have made new plans for future peaceful development and come up with more than a dozen very practical core utilization methods.

After the meeting, Scorpio did not immediately propose leaving, but planned to stay in Konoha for a few days.

A few days later, Runyu was silent with the latest information in his hand. Terumi Mei left Konoha to seek a true king-level breakthrough. Tsunade and Jiraiya were the ones who started the true king-level breakthrough.

At the same time, Mei Terumi resigned from her job in the Kiri Ninja Club and became a truly free person, as if some unknown changes occurred where Runyu's stimulation occurred.

Except for the few who had died in battle, the older generation of strong men all began to charge towards the true king level.

…………

Everything is silent and the stars are shining brightly.

After that battle, there was no more moon in the ninja world, and there was a beautiful woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki in Konoha Village.

Runyu shuttled under the moonlight, came to the open space outside Konoha, and stood quietly.

A roar suddenly came from the underground, the terrifying steel castle broke out of the ground, and the earth shook.

Under the starlight, the front of the fortress is very sharp, not only to better push away the soil, but also to launch violent impacts.

Pieces of steam were discharged from the valve, and the dark and cold steel giant under the starlight gave people an extremely oppressive feeling.

Click... A door slid out from the side of the giant beast, and the lights embedded in the dark illuminated the entire area. The air flow passed through the blowholes and screamed like a ghost.

Under the bright yellow light, two figures walked out of the door and bowed slightly to Runyu.

This was a grand invitation, how could he refuse? Runyu raised his feet and stepped into the steel fortress. The interior of the corridor was inlaid with the Zerg core as an energy source, emitting a faint green light.

Runyu seemed to be in a science fiction world. The smooth joints of the steel plates under his feet were tightly connected, leaving only gaps that were almost invisible to the naked eye. There were almost no rivets visible, just like the spaceship in Runyu's memory.

The puppet leading the way has no exposed steel on its surface, and its skin is made of simulated rubber, making it look like a real person.

Among them, the man has a head full of red hair, and the woman has a head full of dark brown hair. The two puppets are vivid but their facial expressions are a bit stiff.

At the end of the passage, there are some short puppets standing quietly. Their faces are 90% similar to Chiyo's, so the whole family should be neatly organized.

"Is this your current body?"

Runyu raised his head and looked at the quartz cylinder in front of him that was emitting crystal clear white light. Inside it was a brain tissue that was nearly ten times as powerful as an ordinary person's.

It has eight hemibrains, four brain stems, and tentacles that are constantly swinging in the liquid.

It's a scorpion. It was born as a human but never thought of becoming a human. At the end of the tentacles is a row of Zerg cores embedded in steel plates. They release energy and merge into the transparent liquid, ultimately nourishing the scorpion's brain.

Runyu took two steps forward and pressed his hand on the translucent quartz glass. Invisible fluctuations stirred him to secretly test the strength of the scorpion.

The three puppets kept staring at Runyu quietly without any movement.

"Since you stayed in Konoha and refused to leave, I guessed that you wanted something from me."

At first, Runyu really believed that Xie's purpose in coming to Konoha was to take revenge, but when Xie chose to stay in Konoha, he guessed that Xie wanted something from him.

"Your Majesty, I plan to prepare to break through to the True King level in Konoha." A deep, metallic voice came from the castle of the Steel Fortress.

"Isn't it good to be a human being?"

Scorpion's current appearance is particularly similar to that of Runyu who once saw a race of brain demons in novels. He has a powerful mind that can send out mental shocks and even control people's hearts.

"There are limits to human beings."

Scorpio's deep sighs came from all directions, as if he was swearing some kind of truth.

"People can also break limits."

Runyu firmly said that in today's troubled times, the only thing we can rely on is human spiritual will and indomitable determination.

"..." Xie chose silence at this time. He was waiting for Runyu to come here to protect the law rather than debate.

"Just out of curiosity...why did you choose me to protect you?" Runyu asked doubtfully.

"Because you are strong enough, if I degenerate into a Zerg in the Sand Ninja Village, no one among them can stop me."

The tentacles derived from brain tissue continuously change into various shapes with the flow of liquid. At this time, the scorpion looks like a large jellyfish.

Another reason is that when he breaks through, he will become very fragile and may be used by people with intentions. In the entire ninja world, only Runyu is qualified to protect the law, and there will be no intention to destroy him.

This gentleman's "kindness" is well-known far and wide.

"Do you care about the residents of Sand Ninja Village?"

Runyu asked in surprise. Scorpion, who is like a god and a devil, may still have a trace of warmth deep in his heart.

"I just don't want to lose to the Zerg genes."

Scorpio gave some duplicitous answers.

"Okay, let's get started."

Runyu sat cross-legged on the ground and put Zangfeng between her legs. Scorpio was cautious by nature, but in a certain sense it was full of evil intentions.

He is a truly different kind of genius, who takes an eccentric approach and has a terrifying talent that no one else can match.

The tentacle lightning squad extended close to the Zerg core below and began to absorb... one, two... ten... or even a hundred... three hundred... In Runyu's surprised eyes, the Scorpion absorbed nearly 500 Zerg cores in total.

The core of the pinnacle of transformation.

This is far more than the core required to break through to the true king level. Maybe this is the real genius...the pursuit of perfection...you can't live without going crazy.

Green energy poured into Xie's brain like a torrent, and the three puppets behind Runyu lost control and fell to the ground.

The entire steel castle seemed dead, but also seemed to be sleeping.

Runyu looked at the Scorpions that continued to expand and become stronger... and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. Did he expand the high-end combat power of the human race, or create another terrifying alien race with his own hands.

The liquid in the quartz glass box gradually boils and emits dense thin water. During the process of evolution, the giant brain releases extremely high temperatures.

This culture fluid is not ordinary water. It is full of vitality and is very similar to the fetal blood in the cocoon during the Zerg metamorphosis stage.

Boom boom boom…

The surged brain roared and trembled continuously, and dense white fine scales appeared on the surface of the brain stem, as if it was transforming into a zerg.

The transformation stage of breaking through to the true king is not a gentle and gradual process, but a complete destruction and then re-establishment, seeking survival in the midst of death.

What's more, the Zerg core that Xion absorbed when he broke through was too terrifying. Runyu didn't know how he got to this point. He only knew that if Xie succeeded, he would definitely have a place at the top of the ninja world.

At first he controlled hundreds of puppets to attack, but later he only controlled two puppets.

The limitation is the lack of mental power. At the peak of the transformation stage, Scorpion can control hundreds of puppets that have just entered the transformation stage. However, if the puppets are upgraded to the level of invincibility in the transformation stage, then he can only control three.

There is also the ability to master the fui battle situation from an inherent spiritual standpoint, which can be regarded as a real talent.

Gudu, Gudu, Gudu!

The liquid in the quartz glass box continues to boil, and bubbles appear and then scatter in the air.

Click...

Three centimeters later, a crack appeared on the quartz glass, and the complete body began to crack.

Runyu secretly said trouble.

Click!!

The entire glass shattered suddenly, and the translucent viscous liquid spurted out, just when Runyu was about to be trapped.

When Zang Feng was unsheathed, the corrosive force formed into crystals to block the oncoming fetal blood. After contact with the air, the liquid quickly solidified and turned into a hard solid state.

If the enemy is caught off guard and is trapped by the mucus, it will turn into something similar to amber and gradually suffocate to death. This is also a means of protection for the Zerg when they are undergoing cocoon transformation.

The unique fishy smell of reptiles hit her face, making Runyu wrinkle her nose subconsciously.

On the other hand, huge brain tissue floats in mid-air, with hundreds of tentacles dancing in the wind, and tiny, dense white scales growing on the surface.

With a swish sound, the white bone spurs at the end of the tentacles suddenly extended and broke through the blue crystal, piercing Runyu!

Not just one! Dozens of tentacles attacked like poisonous snakes. Even though the body of the scorpion was very fragile, the characteristic of the Zerg was to evolve the killing system to the extreme.

Runyu's expression did not change, and she raised her hand and waved out the Zangfeng. The power of Ming Jin, the power of Dark Jin, even the power of transforming Jin, and even the power of soul-killing were all integrated into Zangfeng.

The blue blade slashed through, dozens of tentacles were cut off directly, and white liquid flowed out from the smooth fracture.

The body of the scorpion faintly trembled and twisted... it whined softly, and the other hundreds of tentacles retreated in fear.

Runyu smiled and sheathed Zangfeng.

Invisible airflow blows from outside, and the originally turbid air becomes fresh.

He could see that Scorpion was not completely lost. The attack just now was just an instinctive reaction of the body. Even if the evolutionary path he chose was not good at melee combat, with just those hundreds of tentacles, he now had the ability to crush the transformation stage in melee combat.

Ability.

He is a madman... he absorbs hundreds of times the core of an ordinary person at one time, but he is also a genius. His aura is getting stronger now, as if he has crossed the threshold of the true king level.

White bone armor grows outside the brain tissue and continues to spread. Especially in the brainstem and core, the thickness of the bones is unimaginable.

Eventually a colorless core the size of a fist appeared in the core of the scorpion's brain tissue.

Over the years, Runyu has been able to distinguish the attributes of the Zerg from the difference in core color.

For example, purple is the attribute of thunder and lightning, silver includes physical body and space, green is full of vitality, and red is the power of the Zerg bloodline. So far, runyu has only been seen on Akazome Sakura.
