Extraordinary pedigree

The secret meeting room of the Everchanging Workshop family.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and heavy. The core members of the Everchanging Workshop family gathered together. Faced with today's continuous emergencies, they each fiercely expressed their opinions and concerns.

All eyes were focused on the patriarch Elwin Wanxiang standing at the front of the conference table.

The old patriarch is the "guarantor" of the family.

Even in the realms where capable people gather, Elwin Wanxiang is enough to be called a "master"-like existence.

This is the stage of all-realm status and thaumaturgy with a power and influence similar to that of Terra [the Lord].

Although they have also opened the [Key Slot], their slots do not need to install only the unique [Master Key]. The keys installed in their slots are usually the next-level ether authority polymer. These Polymers are not unique; they exist in many forms.

For example, the secret key installed on Elwin Wanxiang's secondary [Key Slot] is a secondary incarnation that has multiple elements such as "flesh and flesh", "change", and "coupling" - [Chimera·Change] 】.

The secret keys of secondary incarnations are usually not unique. Most people can distinguish them by their "real names" - the first name represents the overall body of the secondary incarnation, and the suffix of the name is the outline of the ability to which they belong. .

[Chimera] The status of this creature in Terra and the worlds cannot be said to be high, nor is it low.

The upper limit is [Lesser Incarnation Chimera] and the Sark Module [Chimera Structure], while the minimum limit is the ordinary flesh and blood creation Chimera Beast.

It is true that he is a model worker in the world of thaumaturgy.

At this moment, the old man transformed by Elwin Wanxiang took a deep breath and tried to use his words to find a starting point for this heated discussion.

Aylwin began his speech, his voice steady and powerful, trying to convey his worries and determination to every family member.

"I understand your discussion. As every member of the Everchanging Factory family, we are extremely proud of our independence and freedom. Our ancestors used wisdom and courage to win all this for us. This is our tradition. , is our pride.”

His eyes scanned every family member present, trying to find resonance: "But under the current situation, we must make some adjustments. The power of the Authority is undeniable, and their purposes are not completely antagonistic. If we can protect the lives of our family members and ensure the long-term interests of the family through some cooperation, I think it is worth considering."

It was obvious that the old shapeshifter had sensed the coming bloody storm.

"Clan Chief, my respect and trust in you is unquestionable."

Belloc Chang, the representative of the family who was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the administration, spoke out at this moment, with a deep sense of depression in his voice.

"However, Patriarch, on this issue, I have to firmly oppose your point of view." Belloc's voice began to become more passionate.

"If we bow to the Authority now, where is our dignity? Where is our commitment to our ancestors?"

Belloc looked around, trying to find supporters.

"I understand the seriousness of the current situation, but we cannot give up our position out of fear. We are shape-shifters and we have the ability to adapt and change. Instead of bowing our heads and begging for mercy, we should look for other solutions, even if it means we need to make sacrifice."

The patriarch's tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness, but more of a clear understanding of reality. He said to the young opponents: "We must face reality and consider all possible consequences. Yes, this may require us to make With some compromises, we may temporarily lose part of our freedom, but this is to protect more of our family members and for our family to continue to survive and develop in this new situation."

The opposition representative retorted emotionally:

"Working with the Authority may bring short-term security, but in the long term, we will lose more. We will lose the power to make our own choices, lose the ability to control our own destiny - are we willing to become the management? A chess piece in the game’s hand?”

"If we concentrate the family's resources now, break through the blockade of the Administration, and unite with other families in the Whispering Square, although we may not be able to completely fight against the superior Heavenly Sword-wielding Man of the Administration. However, we can choose to close the hub channel and the Whispering Square. It does not belong to Terra in the first place, we are only forced to anchor here because of the [Golden Tree] and the opening of the new world.

Now that we are facing danger, the worst we can do is sacrifice all the development space of the Whispering Square in the next ten years, and unite all the forces of the Whispering Square to control the [Boundary Wedge] - to separate the hub from Terra and Hell's Kitchen. "

As Belloc's emotional speech came to an end, the tension in the conference room reached its peak.

At this time, Serena, the family's advisor, immediately chose to side with the clan leader. She was more pragmatic than Belloc.

“Belok——This is a territorial seal, a crime of local secession that violates the extraordinary laws of the main body of Terra.

If you do this, you will not only provoke the Administration, but also the entire New Alliance. "

Advisor Serena continued to face the opponents calmly and restrainedly:

"According to Terra's main hub affiliation rules, as long as the hub is connected to Terra, then the hub will officially become a subsidiary hub of Terra - the hub can enjoy autonomy, but the sovereignty must belong to Terra.

Moreover, the Edici Federation will not agree to the splitting of the Whispering Plaza into a hub. According to the International Hub Law, the Whispering Plaza is a hub belonging to the federation. Our separation from the Federation is a provocation to them. For all sovereign nations of Terra - the Hub can be autonomous and independent, but it cannot separate from Terra. If you dare to split, they will consider leaving the island. "

"Moreover, cooperation with the Authority does not mean our surrender or betrayal. On the contrary, it is a wise choice to preserve our rights and interests as much as possible while ensuring that the family can continue to exist."

She tried to use her analytical power to convince those present, "Considering the strength of the Authority, if we insist on confrontation, we may eventually put the family into a more dangerous situation. On the contrary, if we can find a way to cooperate with the Authority, not only Being able to protect the safety of family members may also win us more favorable development space.”

"I'm not saying that we have to completely abandon our principles and positions, but we need to find a more flexible path while ensuring the core interests of the family. We need to look at this issue from a broader perspective and make use of existing conditions To seek the best interests of the family.”

"Serena, do you believe this?" The opponent obviously did not accept this, "The devil of the abyss has never been trustworthy!"

The quarrel continued.

In the whirlpool of quarrels within the family, Mira Wanxiang sat in the corner, appearing silent on the surface, but inwardly she was in turmoil.

By meeting face-to-face with the man, Mira managed to establish herself as a reliable asset within the Authority.

His actions inadvertently exacerbated distrust and division within the family, paving the way for the Authority's "seven-point action."

Mira did not expect that the Authority would act so decisively and quickly.

In his imagination, the other party might spend half a month slowly planning and executing it.

But in fact, on the second day of the meeting, the Administration had already started their actions, and the efficiency was far beyond his expectations.

Now, the entire family seems to be sealed in an invisible cage, and the main members gather together, partly to avoid becoming a direct target of the administration, and partly to discuss countermeasures.

Mira, who was observing quietly in the corner, had a shuddering thought in her heart.

If the Director of the Authority decided to take action today, he must have considered that the family would try to break through the blockade.

If the family is determined to break through the administration's blockade, the result will be bloody, and it is impossible for the administration to stop the family's attack without any movement.

Mira realized that if the adult had decided to act from the beginning, then all of this - including the family meeting - might have been expected.

The so-called family meeting is not just about gathering the lambs together and letting the leader speak. And if that adult’s purpose from the beginning was to be the leader...

Recalling the "gift" the director said he wanted to give him the day before yesterday, Mira couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness and coldness.

In this carefully designed game, the so-called family meeting is probably just leading the lamb into the wolf's mouth.

Mira's feeling was soon fulfilled.

boom--

In the tense atmosphere of the family meeting, the sudden sound of gunfire broke all the quarrels and instantly focused the attention in the meeting room.

Patriarch Elwin immediately summoned his incarnation - [Chimera·Change].

[Chimera·Transformation]'s form became extremely clear at that moment, and its body was an amazing fusion.

Its body is a fusion of the characteristics of three animals: lion, goat, and snake. The flowing flame-like texture jumps on its body, showing its powerful ability to change and adapt.

Although Elwin tried to intercept the fatal bullet, countless mirrors suddenly appeared around him, and multiple incarnations emerged in the mirrors.

The entirety of these mirrored incarnations presents a transparent and reflective surface, as if made of the purest crystal or glass, and the poet laurel decoration on the head adds an air of mystery and nobility.

At this moment, the circular mirror in the center of the mirror incarnation emits countless rays of light, forming a dense network of light cones, shooting toward [Chimera Change].

Facing the terrifying light cone net coming like a wave, the Chimera's body reacted quickly. Different from its regular combination of lion, goat and snake forms, this time it chose to strengthen its defense.

A layer of chitin shell as hard as steel covers the surface of its entire body, like a warrior putting on the strongest armor, preparing for the incoming light cone net.

Pfft——

The harsh sound echoed in the conference room, and those bullet-like cones of light left pits one after another on the Chimera's chitin shell, as if they had carved countless marks on the rock.

But it was this powerful shell that allowed it to successfully withstand the enemy's attack, proving that it was not only extremely violent in attack, but also indestructible in defense.

However, just after [Chimera Change] successfully resisted this wave of light cone attacks, an unexpected change occurred.

The mirrors that emitted the light cones suddenly began to crack, and as the cracks spread, the mirrors eventually shattered in an almost self-sacrificial manner.

From these shattered mirrors crawl out mirrored avatars, their bodies retaining a transparent and reflective quality as if composed of the purest crystal or glass.

These mirror incarnations worked together to push the huge Chimera towards the outside of the conference room.

boom--

At the same moment before the two fought, the initial bullet penetrated directly through the head of the opponent's representative Belloc at a speed that was almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

boom--

In an instant, a loud roar erupted in the conference room, deafening.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything was still, showing the cruelest scene.

Like a watermelon being shattered by force, the shapeshifter's head exploded instantly under the powerful force of the bullet, releasing a green liquid like watermelon juice that splashed everywhere.

This horrifying scene was like a bloody rain, sprinkled on the faces of the surrounding tribesmen who had not fully reacted, hitting their hearts heavily, and firmly engraved the shadow of fear and death on everyone. personal heart.

Faced with this sudden violence and death, the family members were filled with shock and confusion.

Some of them were involved in this unknown battle before they even had time to understand what was happening.

The actions of the Authority were too decisive and ruthless. In an almost death sentence, they clearly demonstrated their ruthless suppression of any voice of resistance.

At this moment, a frightening figure appeared in front of them.

The Moon Rabbit slowly walked towards the group of family members who were already shrouded in fear with a calm and firm pace.

In her hand she held a well-designed gun that emitted white smoke.

With the appearance of the Moon Rabbit, ripples seemed to appear in the surrounding air, which was a display of supernatural power.

Almost at the same time she arrived, more than a hundred well-equipped Administration operators holding bolters had surrounded the members of the Workshop family.

These operators stood in a professional and vigilant posture, with their guns aimed at any shape-shifters who might make resistance movements.

"Don't make any unnecessary resistance, everyone from the Everchanging Workshop."

Her words echoed in the conference room, giving every family member a deep sense of despair.

The management personnel cooperated with Moon Rabbit's words, and their guns were pointed at the shapeshifters who were making small moves.

At this point, any small movement could have fatal consequences.
