One man against a nation, that's exactly it.

So, annexing a state didn't seem excessive to Dean.

If it weren't for the presence of a mysterious and unfathomable dragon, he even wanted Brian to directly suppress the entire Federation and then, using the power of the Federation, accumulate strength to deal with the dragon's threat.

Seeing Brian in deep thought,

Dean thought he might have put too much pressure on Brian, so he offered some consolation, "You don't need to feel too much pressure. There's an old saying in Hua Country, 'When the sky falls, there'll be tall ones to hold it up.' Humanity isn't so fragile. Facing the dragon's threat isn't something you have to handle alone. Just let things take their course."

Brian nodded, "Mhm."

After a brief discussion, Dean was ready to leave.

After going back and forth through life and death.

He was now eager to go back to his wife Nell and share some tender moments.

Next,

Dean planned to retire with Nell, and while in hiding, covertly direct the bloody cleansing of the ambitious elements within the Adams family.

As for the Molten Giant Bloodline Crystal Brian offered, Dean flat out refused.

This time, he wanted to rely on himself.

He wanted to be a normal Enhanced person.

If possible,

Dean even wanted to take advantage of his body's restored purity, his decrease in strength, and work hard with his wife to give Susan a few more little brothers and sisters...

Thinking about this,

Dean couldn't wait to put on the human skin mask and hop into the car that came to pick him up.

He wanted to go back and announce the good news to his wife Nell!

Watching the departing car, Brian's eyes surged with two terrifying forces.

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up?

Now, he was that tall one!

After completely absorbing the Rule Origins from both the god-like beings of death and destruction, Brian realized just how monstrous a Fifth Rank Transcender with a physical body could be!

After her old father left, Susan couldn't help her curiosity any longer.

She tugged at Brian's sleeve, "Brian, tell me the truth, how strong are you now?"

"Do you want to know?"

Brian affectionately stroked Susan's head.

Susan nodded furiously.

She had watched videos of a scale-armored monster wreaking havoc, and while fearful, she also thought it was too brutal.

But when she learned that monster was her boyfriend Brian,

Susan was left with only one thought: that monster is so cool!

Naturally, Brian wouldn't refuse Susan's small request.

He also wanted to test his current strength.

With a thought from Brian.

In the next moment.

Susan was amazed to find herself enveloped in a gentle force.

Everything around them seemed to flow like water, quickly receding backward.

When things around her became clear again.

Susan was stunned to find that they had already arrived above a sea area!!!

Below them was clearly the deep sea.

Considering their villa was at least a hundred kilometers away from the nearest deep sea zone!

Ahhh!

Had it been ten seconds?

Less than ten seconds, a hundred kilometers? That speed was outrageous!

Brian, however, took it in stride.

After absorbing Rule Power, he naturally gained the ability to traverse the Spirit Realm.

This ability was similar to wormhole jumps, space-time travel.

It was like the ideological form previously, disregarding distance, descending into the dreamspace of the Deep Sea Dream Clan.

Now, it was simply turning this ability that used to be restricted to ideological form traversal into the ability to travel with a physical body.

This was one of the differences between Fifth Rank and Fourth Rank.

Brian patted Susan's head. "When we get back, I'll take you to my Blissful Heart Domain for a look. For now, let me test my current strength."

Susan nodded eagerly.

After ensuring Susan was protected within the Heart Domain,

Brian felt around briefly, confirming that there were no other lives in the vicinity or within the Spirit Realm. He then enveloped Susan and headed to the bottom of the ocean, 10,000 meters below the surface, toward an undersea mountain range roughly 3,000 meters tall, and casually pointed a finger.

An invisible force enveloped the entire mountain range.

The next moment,

a black and red light flickered.

Silently,

the view before them suddenly widened.

With a single point, a mountain range thousands of meters tall, covering an area almost the size of a small city, with nearly three-quarters of its region, was completely obliterated!

Truly obliterated.

There were no earth-shattering noises, just genuine physical obliteration.

This power far exceeded the killing capabilities of conventional nuclear weapons on individual targets!

Susan's mouth hung open as she dumbfoundedly gazed at the open sea area.

Where did such a huge undersea mountain range go?

She had imagined Brian would throw a punch, causing a submarine quake, maybe even creating a terrifying undersea storm.

Instead, he just extended a finger.

Just like that.

Gone!

A reduced-scale Himalayan undersea mountain range was gone, just like that!

Was there any difference between this and the God of Mankind?

She looked at Brian in a daze. "This is Fourth Rank?"

So scary.

No wonder Brian liked to lie down.

If this were...

she was still alive, that would be considered incredible luck...

Brian too was shocked by the terrifying power after the fusion of the origin forces of destruction and death.

Even with a punch wielding millions of pounds of force, he could not achieve this extent.

It wasn't that he couldn't, but rather it wasn't even on the same level.

No wonder this realm was also called the Transcendence Realm.

To be honest,

Brian thought a more fitting name would be "Star Destroyer."

Given time,

he could now destroy an entire planet all by himself!

However, why were the King of Destruction and Death so low-key in their display?

Even with an origin fusion, it shouldn't be like this.

Thinking it through,

the biggest difference between himself and them was probably that he had a real body of his own, which was far superior to a normal Fourth Rank Life, while they did not.

Susan's words interrupted Brian's contemplation.

He shook his head and chuckled, "Not Fourth Rank, but Fifth Rank. This is the power of Fifth Rank, the power of rules!"

Destruction plus death, fused together, became a tyrannical power, akin to directly erasing everything!

But this was still not enough!

This power was domineering, unreasonable, but currently, it was too strenuous to use, only viable as a trump card in high-stakes confrontations.

For mowing grass, conventional methods were better.

Moreover, this was not his true path, but one plundered from others.

Brian planned to take California first and then begin setting up his hidden agenda, upgrading the Urban Legend Organisation and start his preaching!

Before Death and Destruction were completely gone, they had said that his Blood Moon Gift Talent was similar to the essence of the Blood Moon.

More than just similar.

With each transformation,

Brian realized that his obsession, coupled with the Gift acquired, was fundamentally plunder – similar to the Blood Moon, seizing others' talents, the essence of life... It was a terrifying rule power!

In essence, he was already becoming a baby version of the Blood Moon.

Brian did not want to become a new Blood Moon.

He intended to use the Blood Moon's Gift, to hatch chickens from borrowed eggs, so to speak, and carve out his own path!
