Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

No one wants to expose their flaws or stupid mistakes to others; everyone wants to leave a perfect image.

Genji looked the old man over and, instead of asking where he had seen the information, asked, "Is there any solution to the problem of Erii's bloodline?"

At this point, Uesugi Kotsugi looked troubled: "In historical records, there has never been a case of a royal bloodline going out of control, so there is no record of any corresponding solution."

Upon hearing this, Genjiro looked disappointed.

Uesugi couldn't bear to see the disappointment on his son's face, and quickly said, "But human technology is very advanced now. Didn't Erii suppress her runaway bloodline through serum and other means?"

“That kind of control is only a short-term prolongation of life.” Genji shook his head, not believing that it was the way to save Erii.

“There will be a way. The power of the Snake Clan is not enough, but the power of Kassel College is definitely enough. I have a good relationship with Angers... He will be willing to lend a hand.” Speaking of Angers, Uesugi Yue seemed to recall something unpleasant.

"Mr. Uesugi Kotsu, are you unaware of your family's predicament?" Genji shook his head again, a shake of his head at Uesugi Kotsu's ignorance.

Erii sought help from Kassel College for her health problems? To save her life, the entire Snake-Headed Eight Families were sacrificed... Aren't the lives of ordinary clansmen also lives?

But when he talked about his family's situation, Uesugi Kotsu shook his head even more vigorously than he did. He took a step forward, closed the distance between himself and Genji, and whispered to him, "You may not know, but the Snake-Headed Eight Families are beyond saving. Their fate is destined to be annihilation."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng frowned even more deeply, looking at the old man as if he were a mental patient.

The Snake Clan is now thriving, with over a thousand mixed-race individuals. If they were to unleash all their hidden abilities, they would be considered powerful figures even in the world of mixed-race individuals.

Having studied at Kassel College, he had a general understanding of its strength. On paper, they were definitely not comparable, but if war broke out between the two sides, even if Kassel College won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. The reason the Snake Clan would lose was because Kassel College had a secret family with a thousand-year history backing it up...

Even a powerful institution like Kassel College had to risk its life to save it, so how could the fate of the Snake Clan be destined for destruction?

When he met Genjiro's gaze, even though Genjiro didn't say anything, Uesugi Kotsugu knew what his son was thinking and could understand his thoughts.

He said, "I know you find it incredible, but don't be so sure. It wasn't Kassel College or the Secret Party that gave the Snake Clan their destiny, but—the White King!"

White King? Genji's incredulous gaze subsided for a moment.

Erii, who was playing video games, overheard their conversation and quietly began to listen.

"This is the price the Snake-Headed Eight Families must pay, or rather, the White King will inevitably take back everything she gave to the Snake-Headed Eight Families with interest." Uesugi Kotsuki sighed and said, "You should know where your family's bloodline comes from, right?"

Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

"The blood of the emperor was everywhere in the upper three of the ancient Snake-Gi family. What is the reason for the decline of the emperor's blood in the current Snake-Gi family?" Uesugi Etsu asked.

Yuan Zhisheng said without hesitation, "Because of a catastrophe, but what that catastrophe was, the family records do not record in detail."

“You don’t know, but I do.”

Uesugi Kotsuki said, "That catastrophe was the resurrection of the White King, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families paid a heavy price to suppress him."

The vast majority of the emperors died in bloodshed, and the emperors of the eight ancient Serpent Clans sacrificed their lives to suppress the White King. This massive population loss resulted in a dwindling supply of royal blood, making it impossible to guarantee the continuation of a high-purity bloodline, thus leading to bloodline dilution.

Upon hearing this, Genjiro's expression hardened. He had considered the catastrophe and the gradual fading of the bloodlines of the upper three families of the Snake Clan, but he never expected it would be for this reason...

And... the White King has been resurrected?

"Will the White King revive again?" he asked with a grave expression.

"Yes, and I suspect it's not far off, because someone has already started targeting the White King."

Uesugi Kotsushi said with a bitter expression, "You should leave Japan with me. No one can stop the resurgence of the White King. No matter how glorious and prosperous the ancient Serpent King's Eight Families were, they still paid an extremely heavy price in the face of the White King's resurgence, and their prosperity was followed by decline in an instant."

What can the current Snake Clan and Japan use to resist? Their fate is inevitable decline. It's better for us to go to Europe or Central Asia than to stay on Japanese soil and wait for the White King to reappear.

Towards the end, he even sounded pleading.

Yuan Zhisheng sensed his plea and felt a heaviness in his heart. He could understand why this old father was pleading.

But what he was more concerned about now was why the other party knew these secrets, and how they knew that someone was targeting the White King... He couldn't help but ask, "How did you determine that the White King would be resurrected?"

"How do you determine that?" Uesugi Koshi remained silent for a moment.

"Because I was the 72nd patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, the Shadow Emperor who instigated and supported the Snake-Headed Eight Families and Japan in launching World War II, the only imperial bloodline of the previous generation of the Upper Three Families, and also your father."

Erii also raised her head and looked at Uesugi Kotsugi, her eyes full of confusion.

Genjiro was alright; he already knew about the news.

Uesugi Koshi hurriedly added, "In my time, the legacy of the Snake Clan had not yet been destroyed by me."

The room was silent. He didn't dare to look at his son and daughter's expressions. He lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, "Logically speaking, I should be the last royal blood in the world, but due to the development of world technology, an accident led to your birth."

Before Ah He told me this, I didn't know I had two children in this world—no, I used to have three.

……

Fierce ghosts.

The positions and titles within the Demon Clan are derived from Japanese chess. The three leaders, ranked from highest to lowest, are King, Dragon King, and Dragon Horse.

The masked leader of the demons, King Sho, was chatting with their second-in-command, Dragon King Kazama Ruri, saying, "The Hebi-Hachi family has already found Uesugi Erii, so you don't need to bother looking for her anymore."

After he finished speaking, it was time for Ruri Kazama, the Dragon King of the Demon Clan, to take action. However, Ruri Kazama did not speak, but instead used her actions to convey her thoughts.

A Japanese sword flashed coldly, and the king, who had been standing and speaking, was cleanly cut in two. He fell to the ground, and the gushing blood instantly stained the ground red. However, the surrounding members of the Demon Clan did not react at all, as they were used to this scene of the underdog overthrowing the king.

Kazama Ruri, who casually killed the king, showed no emotion whatsoever, as if she had just crushed an ant on the roadside.

The leader and second-in-command of the Fierce Ghost Clan are deeply at odds, with the second-in-command frequently attempting to overthrow his superiors. However, they seem to have never succeeded, as the King General they kill soon reappears. Just like now, in a mere three minutes, the King General has returned through the doorway.

Wang simply waved his hand, and the ordinary henchmen of the Fierce Ghosts left the scene.

As if the still-bleeding corpses on the ground had nothing to do with him, Wang spoke to him in his usual tone: "Now a third-party force has appeared in Japan and has completely looted a charity school run by the Snake-Headed Eight Families, which was a place for raising demons, and has taken all the demons inside with them."

Meanwhile, a major event occurred within the Snake-Headed Eight Family, and two incredibly powerful hybrids emerged in Japan.

Kazama Ruri, who had just killed a king, finally spoke, replying indifferently, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"

Wang Jiang said unhurriedly, "The third-party force may be that Kassel College has taken notice of the Snake Clan, but this is indeed unrelated to you."

However, the events that happened in the Snake-Headed Hachi family, and the sudden appearance of the powerful hybrid, are closely related to you.

Kazama Ruri thought it was Genji's business and didn't take it too seriously, still acting indifferent.

"The two incredibly powerful hybrids engaged in a chase, their Words of Power being Junyan and Heiri, respectively, along with a powerful deterrent ability that appeared to be of unknown origin."

Although Lu Mingfei mainly displayed the Word of Power such as Junyan in the battle against Uesugi Kotsu, the Supreme Power, which was only activated once, also attracted the attention of some interested people.

Its direct effects are so strong and its coverage area so vast that it is astonishing.

At that time, a group of half-breeds from the Snake-Headed Eight Families were searching for Erii near Akihabara, and naturally, they were also suppressed by the Supreme Being and gave back a strong reaction.

The ensuing massive explosion somewhat obscured the effects of the Supreme Being, but those who were observant quickly discovered its specific effects upon closer examination.

The instantaneous and rigid response that causes mixed-race individuals to lose their bloodline is alarming.

"The origins of Junyan and the hybrid with unknown abilities are unclear, but the Black Sun hybrid has a very important background. His appearance has exposed a secret of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, namely the origins of the current head of the Minamoto family, Amaterasu no Mikoto Minamoto Chisei, and the head of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Erii."

His name is Uesugi Koshi, the former patriarch of the Hebi-Hachi family who mysteriously disappeared, and also the father of Minamoto no Chisei and Uesugi Erii.

Genjiro and Erii Uesugi are siblings.

Kazama Ruri initially paid no attention to the king's words, remaining as indifferent as a passenger on a train.

But when they heard what the king said next, they couldn't help but look sharply at the masked king.

The king's mask, with its ambiguous smile, seemed to be mocking him, implying that he wasn't just putting on an act, but was actually captivated by the story.

However, Kazama Ruri did not pursue the story further. Instead, he struck again, this time choosing to cleave the king in two with ferocity.

The body landed in two halves, leaving only Kazama Ruri behind. The King, however, did not reappear to bother him a few minutes later…

Upon learning this shocking secret, Kazama Ruri's expression gradually darkened.

Erii, who replaced her in her brother's heart, turned out to be her brother's sister, and what's more, a living father suddenly appeared above the three siblings...

But what is the king's goal? And what is the purpose of telling me this news?

A third-party force... Kassel College... a formidable figure who fought against Uesugi Kotsu, why did they start fighting?

……

“I’m so sorry about Genjiro…” Uesugi Kotsugi said, his face full of self-reproach.

This was the first time Erii had learned that Genjiro had a younger brother named Genjiro. Genjiro was indeed her older brother, so was Genjiro also her older brother?

“Your affairs are none of my business. No one would have thought he was a ghost. Whether he is my brother or not, I will kill him. Otherwise, he will only kill more innocent people.”

Yuan Zhisheng's expression was cold, as he habitually wore a mask that prevented others from seeing through his true thoughts.

Uesugi Koshi sighed deeply.

This reminded him of his father, Hideo Uesugi, who, at the age of seven, personally killed his younger brother, a demon born from his mother's womb, with an axe.

This incident affected Hideo Uesugi, leading him to consider severing the imperial bloodline, because the vast majority of the descendants of the three upper families were demons, and when they were in their mothers' wombs, they developed snake tails instead of legs.

As a result, Hideo Uesugi unexpectedly fell in love with Charlotte Chen, leading to the birth of Echizen Uesugi.

The seeds that Uesugi Kotsu casually gave away decades ago unexpectedly gave birth to the three siblings, Genjiro and his sister.

Unfortunately, two of the three siblings are ghosts, one is already dead, and the other is struggling on the verge of death. Only Genjiro is a normal human being.

Do you recognize the person you fought last time?

Genji suddenly asked Uesugi Kotsugi, "The doctor said that Erii received treatment to suppress her bloodline during her previous runaway period. That treatment was very effective. If Erii hadn't activated Judgment, causing her bloodline to become strong again..."

He paused abruptly. Erii had used her Word of Power to kill Uesugi Koshi, her biological father. Although she hadn't succeeded, she had still dealt him a significant blow...

Uesugi Kotsushi was somewhat shocked. He hadn't taken Erii's beating of him to heart... That was fake. Erii had angrily opened a trial for that scumbag and wanted to kill him. He almost hated that guy to death.

He abducted his innocent daughter, cheated on her, and his daughter wanted to kill him for his sake... But right now, he was more concerned about what Genji said: Erii had received effective treatment.

Chapter 122 The Reasonable Genji

"A mixed-race battle has broken out in the Tokyo metropolitan area."

This is an email submitted to Angers' computer by Norma Systems' monitoring of the Japanese internet.

The Kaguya system of the Snake Clan was very accurate in its calculations; it could cover the Snake Clan's actions for 48 hours. However, the battle between Lu Mingfei, Uesugi Koshi, and Erii caused panic in downtown Tokyo.

The initial range of the Lord's Flame was only a few meters, but after the explosion, the range expanded to tens of meters, and the shock wave and other effects reached a range of over a hundred meters.

An area equivalent to the size of a football field in downtown Tokyo was bombed.

The subsequent Black Sun and the Judgment added even more color to this unexpected event.

Even though Princess Kaguya desperately tried to clear her name on the Japanese internet, and the Snake Clan frantically sought connections and resources to handle the incident, Norma still managed to intercept the leaked information.

Norma's job is to monitor hybrid race events; if it were a regular event, it would simply filter it out.
