Dragon Raja: History Simulator

Genichiro Ryoma shrugged and casually sat down opposite Wang Anzhi, next to the somewhat elderly-looking ramen chef. He reminded him:

"We can't stay here too long, family..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ryoma Genichiro suddenly felt a chill beside him. He looked to the side warily, only to see an old man holding chopsticks, shaking them incessantly.

Ryoma Genichiro shook his head, relieved, thinking he had misjudged the situation.

After all, what threat could an elderly person who looks so old pose?

Although his bloodline wasn't considered the strongest among the heads of the Snake Clan, it was still at least an "A" level. Apart from the monsters among the mixed-bloods, Ryoma Genichiro didn't think he was weak.

We're all just ordinary people!

Thinking about it, he smiled with relief and continued to Wang Anzhi, "...The family does not allow the young lady to run around like this, especially the patriarch, who strictly forbids it."

After thinking for a moment, Ryoma Genichiro added, "Not only the head of the family, but also the young head of the family, he always supports the head of the family's opinion."

Thinking of this, Ryoma Genichiro couldn't help but sigh. The young master of the family, who had "royal blood" flowing through his veins, had actually become a mere decoration for the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune.

It is truly tragic and lamentable.

Wang Anzhi glanced at Uesugi Kotsuki, who had just been standing there. Just moments before, this seemingly slovenly old man could have easily killed Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family, the instant he raised his chopsticks.

easy.

Wang Anzhi had no doubt about this.

Thinking of this, Wang Anzhi's gaze toward Ryoma Genichiro became even more amiable.

What Uesugi Kozue, the king of shadows, can do, Wang Anzhi can do as well.

Speaking of which, the Japanese "emperors" are indeed an extremely OP group, based on Wang Anzhi's memory and Uesugi Kotsugi's fleeting action.

Wang Anzhi can basically determine that these "Emperors" all possess the strength of a second-generation species transforming into human form, as well as the destructive power of a third-generation species in a dragon form.

The three original ancestors of the Japanese emperors, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, were monsters among monsters.

Among them, "Tsukuyomi" even stole the authority of the King of the Ocean and Water, and her Word of Power is the serial number 115, 【Word of Power: Return to the Void】.

This is a power that can be judged as "Primordial Authority".

And the effect of this Word of Power was indeed astonishing, completely sinking Takamagahara, a landmass no less powerful than Tokyo, to the bottom of the sea. Judging from the energy burst alone, it far exceeded the power of the Tsar Bomba.

Wang Anzhi even estimated that he was not much inferior to Xia Mi in her current human form, and it was quite possible that they were on equal footing.

It can be said that the Japanese emperor, under the expectations of his sister Yggdrasil, was not much inferior to a pure-blooded dragon, except for his lifespan.

In fact, a short lifespan might not be a flaw in itself...

As Wang Anzhi pondered this, he glanced at Erii, who was trembling slightly upon hearing the names of the patriarch and young master. His words served both as a response to the Ryoma family head and as a way of comforting Erii.

"It's alright, Head of the Uesugi Clan, Head of the Ryoma Clan. I think the patriarch and the young head of the clan won't mind this short separation, after all..."

Wang Anzhi glanced at Ryoma Genichiro, who, as the middle-aged head of the Ryoma family, seemed to understand and nodded at Erii.

"and many more……"

At this moment, the ramen chef who had been ignored by Ryoma Genichiro slowly stood up, looked at the two of them with a strange, almost angry, gaze:

"You mean she's the head of the Uesugi family?"

Erii, who was being pointed at by the ramen chef, pointed to herself, blinked in confusion, and then nodded.

However, Uesugi Yue ignored her this time. He didn't think this naive girl could know anything. He also didn't glance at Wang Anzhi, who looked like an "outsider." Instead, he stared intently at the middle-aged man with tattoos and a suit next to him.

He is the true head of the Snake Clan.

It sounds like he's still the head of the Ryoma family. With the decline of the three upper families, the head of the Ryoma family, who controls shipbuilding and related industries, is quite influential in Japan, an island nation that is considered to have only the Self-Defense Forces as its military support.

This is also why he was able to become the second head of the Japanese branch after Inuyama He, a protégé of Angers.

As is well known, the Sheqi Hachike had a history where the head of the family was subordinate to the head of the Japanese branch of the Secret Party, which was during the time when Inuyama He was in office.

After Kikumasamune, the German scientist disguised as a Japanese, "worked hard" to "govern" Japan, although it experienced the lost thirty years, it successfully established the authority of the patriarch and placed the patriarch's position above that of the Japanese branch manager.

And the current head of the Japanese branch was none other than the unfortunate Genichiro Ryoma.

However, unlike Inuyama He, he did not have a deep bond with Angers, so it is not surprising that he did not receive the support of the Secret Party.

He frowned as he looked at the ramen chef who had stood up.

"Is this something you should know? Now you should go make your ramen."

Chapter 213 Heian Period, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

Uesugi Kotsugi's face immediately froze. He, the dignified Japanese movie king, no, the former movie king, was being reprimanded like this by his former subordinate.

However, he also got the answer: this little girl was actually the head of the so-called "Uesugi family".

But something's not right!

According to Uesugi Kotsugi, more than a hundred years ago, the Snake-Headed Eight Families did indeed have a large number of so-called "imperial blood" mixed-race individuals from the three inner families, but they were simply not destined to become true "emperors".

At that time, the three inner families were not as rare as they were during his reign, so much so that his scumbag father, Uesugi Hideo, had the leisure to study in France and have a romance with his mother.

However, shortly after that, a major accident occurred, resulting in the complete extinction of the inner three families of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. As a result, Uesugi Hideo, who was almost reluctant to leave Japan, was forced to return to Japan by the Snake-Headed Eight Families at knifepoint.

As for Uesugi Sho, who was still a child in his mother's womb, he was separated from his father.

This separation lasted for more than a decade, during which time Hideo Uesugi continuously served as a stud in his family.

Unfortunately, every newborn baby is covered in bluish-black scales from the moment they crawl out of their mother's womb.

When Uesugi Kotsugu returned to Japan as "Emperor", he harbored a mixture of curiosity and resentment towards his father, whom he had never met. He went to great lengths to learn about his father, Uesugi Hideo, after he abandoned his mother and him.

For this reason, he once summoned a close attendant who had once "served" his father and coldly questioned him about his father, Uesugi Hideo.

As far as Uesugi Kotsugu knew, after returning to the Hebi-Hachi family, Uesugi Hideo completely abandoned his desire to elope with Sister Charlotte in France and instead focused on serving as a "tool" for the Hebi-Hachi family.

His only mission was to give birth to a child with "royal blood" flowing through his veins.

That's right. At that time, the Snake-Headed Eight Families no longer even expected him to give birth to an "emperor". They only wanted a child who inherited the "imperial blood" like him.

Unfortunately, Hideo Uesugi did not fulfill their hopes.

His women gave birth to one monstrous birth after another, and each time these women gave birth, Hideo Uesugi would stand in front of their delivery beds and coldly watch as the monstrous babies inside their wombs tore open their bellies.

Then, the ninjas of the Fuma clan used ninja swords to disembowel these freaks and kill them completely.

No one understood better than the members of the Snake Clan what kind of monsters these Death Servants, who flowed with "royal blood," truly were.

They were born with black blood flowing through their veins, carrying unforgivable sins from birth, sacrificing their mothers, gambling with their lives...

Each of them growing up is an uncontrollable disaster.

There were many inner families who once had "royal blood" flowing through their veins, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families once had a patriarch who took pity on these infants who had to accept death orders right after birth.

So he ordered that no one in his family below him should kill these freaks.

Instead, they choose to raise them, hoping that once they grow up and their brains are fully developed, they will choose to "return" to humanity.

After all, Japan had just suffered its biggest defeat in a foreign war at that time—the Battle of Baekgang.

In this naval battle, the Japanese, who closed their doors and called themselves "Emperors," were defeated for the first time by the regime of the Central Plains. They were utterly humiliated by the Tang Dynasty, and the mixed-race Hebi-hachi family of Japan also realized for the first time the power of the mixed-race [orthodox] Central Plains people.

This can be compared to the Black Ships incident 1,300 years ago.

Faced with failure, the Emperor chose to send envoys to Tang China to learn advanced Central Plains culture, but the Eight Families of the Snake-Headed School could not obtain true knowledge from the conservative orthodoxy.

Thus, breaking the "taboo" passed down from their ancestors and allowing the infant servants who flowed with imperial blood but had to be executed every year to live became the last choice for the Snake-Headed Eight Families, who were driven to desperation.

They still had some confidence in this regard, after all, the White Emperor was the Dragon King who controlled "spirit," and they inherited the White Emperor's bloodline, making them naturally strong in spirit.

In their view, these death servants who flow with "royal blood" are very likely to become the new "royal" after they grow up and become the new fighting force of the Snake Clan.

However, this struggle did not achieve the initial hopes of the Japanese, and these Deadpool babies did not return to normal after reaching adulthood.

Instead, they became a race that is feared and dreaded in Japanese history and mythology—"Oni" (demons).

These undead servants, who grew up with royal blood flowing through their veins, cleaved open the cages that imprisoned them and killed the prisoners guarding them with their claws.

They spontaneously organized themselves and then dispersed to various corners of the four main islands of Japan, becoming a famous era in Japanese history—the Heian period.

In that era, a hundred ghosts roamed the night.

It was precisely for this reason that the orthodox families who were visiting Japan for the first time saw a country that resembled a land of dead servants.

They were so shocked that they finally gave up their idea of ​​conquering Japan.

Thus, the Snake-Headed Eight Families survived.

However, what they were facing was a scene that resembled hell.

This period, later known as the "Heian period," lasted for a full three hundred years.

Under the leadership of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the successor to the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and also the head of the Minamoto clan, the scene of "a hundred demons parading at night" was finally brought under control.

Even so, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who is perhaps the greatest shadow emperor and the greatest patriarch in the history of the Snake Clan, ultimately failed to completely eliminate the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" that was released out of desire and fear.

Although the dead servants who called themselves "Oni Clan" were all wiped out, the Snake Clan, which had the blood of demons flowing through their veins, still existed. Thus, the demons never died and lived on in everyone's hearts.

It was after this disaster that the Sheqi Eight Families went from prosperity to decline, and the number of people in the inner three families decreased significantly, but they still maintained a considerable number.

Most importantly, the Snake-Headed Eight Families split apart, with some members leaving their family to form a new organization—the Demon Clan.

Thus, the Fierce Demon Clan, which had been entangled with the Snake-Headed Eight Families for a thousand years, was born.

As Uesugi Kotsugu reflected on this history, he recalled the photograph that his father's attendant had handed him—a photograph of his father, Uesugi Hideo.

In the photo, Hideo Uesugi coldly watches as a monster crawls out of the belly of the woman who is called his "wife," and is killed by the monster.

In the end, the monster was killed by the ninjas of the Fuma clan.

Uesugi Hideo's face remained indifferent.

Chapter 214 Old Deng, I parked my will-o'-the-wisp on your street.

Uesugi Koshi had resented his father's indifference, but he fell silent when his attendant brought out another photograph.

The photo shows Hideo Uesugi leaning back in a chair, smoking a pipe, his hand trembling as he picks up a picture of his wife, Sister Charlotte, looking dejected and shedding tears.

At that time, Uesugi Kotsugu figured out without a teacher why his father was crying.

His father was taken back to Japan before he was even born.
