Chapter 129: 129 Monkey
Brother, that's how Luo Hao now addresses Altair.
According to Altair's request, Luo Hao currently holds the position of deputy leader of the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains, primarily responsible for enhancing technology by opening a halo at the mountain, while also overseeing the martial arts and mystic scholars. Altair, as the cult leader, is mainly in charge of leading Luo Hao.
Well, Altair doesn't want to be busy running around after becoming the cult leader, so just like in the world of Armored Fortress, he focuses on the major directions and the strongest forces, leaving the rest to Luo Hao to handle. Luo Hao, in turn, simply passes it on to Lu Yinghua to deal with, leaving Lu Yinghua in a tough spot.
Although Luo Hao was beaten by Altair, her nature is essentially unyielding. You can knock her down, but you can't make her submit.
So while beating Luo Hao, Altair also brought up her past, berating her harshly, which almost made Luo Hao shut down emotionally before she finally conceded.
But as a Campione, her status can be low in front of Altair, but not in front of other Campiones! She has her pride and doesn't submit to anyone except Altair.
Thus, she positioned herself as Altair's sworn sister, just like she became the sworn sister of the male lead in the original story, using this bond to draw closer. However, since Altair didn't want to be the younger brother, she became the sworn sister instead.
This way, whether it's the sibling relationship or the subordinate relationship, she is slightly below Altair but not by much. To other Campiones, she still holds a lofty status, hence the address of "Brother."
Another factor that made Luo Hao submit was Altair's promise to help her resolve the issue with Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong is a deity from China, summoned to Japan, where as a hero of steel, he was used as a tool to clear dragon and snake disasters. Later, he was bound by the divine power of Toshogu, gathered from sacred sites across Japan by monks, and kept in there.
This spell ensures that even if Sun Wukong goes on a rampage, he will eventually return here to be sealed.
Thus, Sun Wukong, a once mighty warrior, has been kept in Japan', becoming the Monkey God.
Luo Hao once encountered the rampaging Monkey God and wanted to send him back to myth. However, unable to break the seal, she has been trying to find a way to release Sun Wukong from the spell and return him to myth.
But in Altair's view, she is really foolish for trying to gather the conditions to break the spell herself.
"You are a Campione, the most brutal demon king, even enforcing a rule that anyone who sees you must have their eyes gouged out. Yet, you go around gathering conditions to break a spell for outsiders, huh?"
"The spell binding Sun Wukong requires specific conditions to lift. I once tried to break it with brute force using my authority, but unfortunately, my powers couldn't dissolve their spell."
At this moment, Luo Hao, being scolded by Altair, looked very aggrieved and only dared to defend herself in a low voice.
"That's why I said you're brainless. The spell was cast by Japanese magicians, so let them undo it. If they don't, kill them. If they still don't, kill more. There's no contradiction in doing both! Am I wrong?"
Seeing Luo Hao still daring to retort, Altair scolded her again, leaving her speechless and blushing as she lowered her head.
"Brother is right."
"Living 200 years and still not understanding how to be a demon king, what a waste."
Altair didn't care about Lu Yinghua's presence and directly scolded Luo Hao, which secretly delighted Lu Yinghua.
He kept his head down, not looking at Altair and Luo Hao, seemingly expressionless but actually overjoyed inside.
Essentially a martial arts prodigy, Lu Yinghua was noticed by Luo Hao from a young age and taken as a disciple, which is considered the highest honor. However, Luo Hao's teaching method was beating—constant beating to learn and grow.
Thus, having been beaten since childhood, Lu Yinghua developed a dislike for women, especially beautiful and powerful ones like Luo Hao.
Now seeing Luo Hao being scolded without being able to retort, he was inwardly thrilled, though he kept a straight face, his lips couldn't help but twitch upwards, a sight caught by Luo Hao, who was blushing and avoiding Altair's gaze.
Having been bested by Altair, Luo Hao immediately decided in her heart that after this matter was over, she would find time to rigorously train her disciple. It's one thing for Brother to scold her, given his strength and wisdom, but how dare Lu Yinghua, this brat, laugh at her?!
Unaware of the impending misfortune, Lu Yinghua remained clueless, but in Japan, they knew they were about to face disaster.
The History Compilation Committee, the official organization governing Japanese sorcerers, mainly composed of Japan's four great families, oversees all affairs in the Japanese sorcery world and handles external magical communications.
Having just received envoys from the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains, the Committee was directly conveyed Altair's demands.
Thus, upon receiving the demands, the Committee immediately convened an emergency internal meeting.
A group of family heads or representatives engaged in heated debates within the meeting room.
"This is too much, making such outrageous demands."
"A newly risen Campione, how audacious."
"Hmph, you talk big, why don't you go argue with this new king."
"Renjo, don't think this has nothing to do with you."
"It really doesn't concern our family, after all, we're not in charge there, right, Kuketsu?"
"You!"
"Stop arguing, what's the use? This new king just slew a disobedient dragon and directly defeated Luo Hao. We can't oppose such a person, and this time they're coming with two kings. Not just this newly risen king, but Luo Hao is also beyond our resistance."
"What does the Lord say, doesn't he have a solution?"
"The Lord won't intervene. If he does, other kings will gather in Japan, and we'll face utter destruction."
"Sigh, Luo Hao was quiet before."
"At this point, it's useless to say anything. The new king and Luo Hao will arrive in three days. We must figure out how to respond."
"Sigh~~ If only we had a Campione too."
Preferably one who is young, simple, and easy to control, right?
