All the processes here are both 'combat in the present' and 'supporting the future'.

As the saying goes, when the time comes, heaven and earth work together; when destiny fades, heroes are powerless.

At this moment, the Lion King is the latter, and Quinn is the former.

It's as if the entire Death Hills have turned into Quinn's weapon, every killing move, all within this shot!

"Gun Extreme Intent, Fame Moves Mountains and Rivers!"

This roar sounds as if the land is speaking.

"What!"

The Lion King didn't expect that Quinn had always been holding back a move.

It can't quite be called holding back; Quinn had used a similar technique in past national battles, but never as powerful as today.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He was Elephant Level before, now he's Dragon Level, with a qualitative change in execution and control power.

This shot is dazzling beyond comparison.

Vast and majestic, shaking mountains and rivers, the world is grim!

"Boom!"

The Lion King's head is pierced, his body riddled with thousands of gun shadows, full of holes.

Luckily, his body is large enough, otherwise Quinn's move would have killed him instantly.

If it were a conventional body fight, he would have been dead, considering how small an individual is before these mountains and rivers.

Now, with his thousand-meter Dharma Body, his own presence is like a great mountain, and he narrowly avoids extinction.

Even so, he's not well.

His Dharma Body is reduced by half! Smashed to pieces!

It can be said that since his Dharma Body was formed, he has never suffered such a severe injury.

"Father!"

Black Panther breaks through the Sagittarius blockade, rushing in at high speed, ancestral totem crashing down like a brick, Shattering the Sky.

Quinn, having used his move, is at his weakest, barely managing to handle Black Panther.

"Swish!"

Quinn is critically wounded, about to fall.

Yet everything is under control, as his cells transform, breaking through.

Gun Extreme Intent, Fame Moves Mountains and Rivers—this move is when his belief is most vigorous.

At this moment, faced with deadly critical injury, he naturally steps into Sub-dragon.

Everything comes naturally, like water flowing into a canal!

The so-called Lion King, unable to break through in front of him, means death, and this situation is resolved accordingly.

After all, if the Lion King couldn't break through, does the Black Panther stand a chance?

Black Panther is just T3, and is only hitting him to near-death when he's exhausted.

Trying to add a finishing touch won't be easy, plus there's Sagittarius protector.

Quinn's extreme shot exploded and took down the Lion King, then forcibly broke through when hit by Black Panther, completing a strategic maneuver.

Critical injury and breakthrough run parallel, achieving two goals with one move.

Of course, fully accomplishing the breakthrough transformation will need more time.

While the Lion King is badly wounded, he's inherently strong, quickly recovering some strength, still able to fight!

"Q…uinn!"

The Lion King, enraged like a black lion, launches a grand strike intending to finish Quinn.

At that moment, a crimson blade light flashes.

"Crimson Reverse Moon Slash!"

"Clang!"

The terrifying strike is reflected back, causing the still-recovering Lion King to bleed and fly backward.

It was Tai Sui who arrived!

"Amazing, Quinn, to hit the Lion King like this?" Gao Xin stands firm with a blazing sword.

Quinn smiles weakly, "Not so bad."

Gao Xin glanced at him, "You stepped into Sub-dragon?"

Quinn shrugs, "Barely."

Gao Xin laughs heartily; Quinn stepping into Sub-dragon means his combat power has reached another level.

This man was the only one who pushed him to the brink during the Elephant King Conference.

Aside from Quinn himself, no one is more confident in him than Gao Xin.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Almost simultaneously, Adam, Eagle King, Cain, Lilith, and the Holy War Army commander arrived in pursuit.

"Marseille, how did you let Quinn hit you like this?" Eagle King is surprised.

The Lion King is angry, "If you hadn't run, we could have surely slaughtered him together."

Eagle King sneers, "Now is the same, Tai Sui and Quinn, two legends end together!"

They accompany the Lion King, making it six Quasi-Dragon Kings surrounding Gao Xin, Quinn, and the others.

Above them, a cool, overlooking Apostle Dragon Qilin eyes them greedily, forming a Heaven and Earth Net.

But Gao Xin is fearless, his heart aflame.

He simply asks beside him, "Quinn, will you fight alongside me?"

Quinn chuckles, "Do you guess what I'm here for?"

Gao Xin also laughs, "After the fight, should I join the Jiyi Army?"

Quinn thinks it over, then sighs, "Actually, you helping me Dragon Transform is already a massive aid to the Jiyi Army."

"Whether you join or not, I'll fight to the death to support you in this battle."

"As for the Jiyi Army, we want comrades, not colleagues."

Gao Xin nods, knowing this group is always trying to recruit him into the Jiyi Army.

But Quinn's stance makes clear he won't say something like 'I'll help you if you join us.'

They aren't recruiting members; they want comrades.

Previously, Gao Xin only wanted himself and those around him to leave this island.

Regarding major changes, humanity's future, overthrowing the giant enterprises, honestly, he didn't consider it.

He merely wished to fortify himself outside, not thinking about changing the situation on Crime Prison Island.

But after talking with Milan, his mindset began to shift.

"Today, I answer you directly, Quinn."

"I won't join the Jiyi Army, but we can be comrades fighting side by side."

Gao Xin's words are a bit strange.

But Quinn understands; they aim for the same objective even if their paths differ.

"I get your meaning, it's all good. The Jiyi Army isn't just the Jiyi Army; essentially, it's a united front for humanity's future."

"It's just that Cangyue is too strong, so we've all aligned under him."

"If someone stronger than Cangyue emerges, achieving more, then they embody the truth…"

"That's something Cangyue said himself…"

Quinn directly lays cards on the table with Gao Xin, hinting at something.

Gao Xin raises his eyebrows, understanding the implication, thinking Cangyue is rather interesting.

His reluctance to join the Jiyi Army stems from not quite agreeing with Cangyue's ideas, fundamentally believing it's impossible to defeat Little Ran.

But thinking it over, perhaps he misunderstood Cangyue.

The current Jiyi Army route isn't set in stone; it's also a harsh reality.

Many have told him the Jiyi Army is essentially a united front, and now he understands this subtext: If you're capable, step forward!

Indeed, the Jiyi Army heavily relies on Cangyue; he would gladly welcome a better plan, perhaps wishing someone stronger would take over so he could relax.

"Hahaha, I get it."

"Alright, let's first deal with the battle at hand."

"Today, the two of us will fight their six; I'll be the central point, is that okay?"

Gao Xin asks, but their rapport is so strong that he doesn't need Quinn's reply before acting.

Together, Quinn and Gao Xin synchronize instantly, forming an invisible grand formation.

Soon, Child Brother, Girl Brother, Substitute Yak, and Fujihara Tomohiro appear, subtly centered around Gao Xin.

Indeed, Fujihara Tomohiro emerges as Gao Xin releases him from a gourd.

This is a Quasi-Dragon King substitute, and a real one, meaning he can grow.

Substitutes either grow as their host grows or remain fixed in strength.

Like Yunzhong Tianyi, who was Elephant Level originally, and still is now.

Or Silver Hand, whose custom personality remains constant with Gao Xin's level, also Elephant Level.

Despite countless deaths and destruction, there's no improvement, and substitutes can't break through no matter how often they die.

Fujihara Tomohiro, however, is different; he can grow stronger, invent new moves, enhance module capabilities… even break through if not capped.

Basically, he is just like a living person.

Except… he can't leave the biological field range and can be resurrected.

Though his body is hard to create, requiring his nanomatrix as core material, Gao Xin still prepared three for him, each within separate gourds.

If all four incarnations are exhausted and Gao Xin ceases creating a new carrier, his soul will return to the Great Saint Spirit upon death.

In other words, Fujihara Tomohiro currently has four lives.
