"Hehehe, that's an exaggeration."
"What a pair of star-crossed lovers."
Huo Yuhao couldn't hold back anymore, looking at the railing against the rooftop while glancing at the two guys in front of him.
Roman pressed down hard on Amon's shoulder, and magnificent runes lit up one by one on his arm, climbing up Amon's body like long snakes.
Amon immediately felt his main consciousness being pulled and bound, and a strange connection appeared between all Amons.
That connection wasn't based on aura, but on cause and effect.
"So that's how it is!
Your true form is on the west coast of the Star Luo Empire!"
Amon took off his monocle, wiped it, and put it back on, smiling as he said,
"Dr. Roman, it doesn't have to be this extreme."
"Isn't this a bit too enthusiastic? You even went so far as to use causal tracking for me?"
"If I were a woman, I might be moved by you and consider accepting you."
Roman got goosebumps all over, alchemical gestures swirling in his hand as he suddenly slammed a hammer into Amon's head.
The blow made Amon dizzy, striking straight to his soul.
"You naturally evil brat, Amon! Don't disgust me!"
"I'm devoted to Meryl!"
"Look me in the eyes and tell me, why do you have so many unreleased photos of Meryl?
Huh? What did you do to her?!"
Roman grabbed Amon's collar and shook him violently, almost knocking his monocle off.
"Merry?"
"Oh, that girl."
"I just had a deep conversation with her, discussing the aesthetics of pleasure and how to have fun more efficiently."
"Your Meryl-chan thought you'd come until she died, Dr. Roman."
"Next time I see her, I'll have her call your name, to make you feel more involved."
Roman's forehead veins bulged, and his skin visibly flushed red.
"You naturally evil brat, Amon!"
"I'll do it myself!"
Feeling the soul-like attack gathering in Roman's hand again, Amon smiled and said,
"Alright, Dr. Roman, I know I was wrong."
"But if I said Meryl was willing, would you believe me?"
"Amon, I don't consider myself a good person, but that Meryl is definitely not a kind soul either."
"We split your money 50/50, you know."
Roman had been fooled by Amon too many times; now, Roman treated Amon's words like a dog's bark.
He struck Amon's head again, and this time, both Amon's main body and countless Amon clones felt a sharp pain on their heads.
"Ouch~ That hurts."
"But Dr. Roman, my specialty is stealing."
Roman immediately sensed that the connection between all Amon clones had been severed again; clearly, the connection had been stolen.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao stepped in to smooth things over, saying,
"You two,
calm down." "Don't make a scene."
Roman, upon hearing this, released Amon's collar, a smile on his face, and said through gritted teeth,
"Consider yourself lucky, kid."
"But simply stealing the connection isn't enough; I've already marked your true form."
"Once I catch your true form, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
"It was my dereliction of duty not to guide you back to the right path back in the orphanage."
"But don't worry, as a doctor, I'll heal your mind and body properly—both psychologically and physically!"
Amon patted the wrinkles in his collar, straightened his pointed black soft cap, and said with interest,
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Remember to find me on the high seas."
"I'll definitely give you a warm welcome."
This wasn't a lie; Amon genuinely looked forward to Roman coming to the high seas to catch him. In his opinion, that would be very interesting and exciting.
Playing One Piece on the high seas wasn't particularly difficult; the pirates' pursuit was weak and posed no real threat to him.
Only the vast number of sea spirit beasts in the ocean could bring him surprises.
The evil spirit masters on land had little intelligence; their minds were filled with either hunting humans or researching how to efficiently absorb souls.
Playing with these evil spirit masters was initially novel, but it quickly became tedious.
Sometimes, Amon even admired Otto for being willing to play with these fools for so long.
When it came to scheming with these evil spirit masters, you couldn't stand too high, because they couldn't even see the extent of it.
In their eyes, nighttime ambushes, poisoning water sources with corpse poison, and annihilating the enemy's elite were already tactics requiring exceptional skill.
It was reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty monk Tang Sanzang burning his rear supply lines ten thousand years ago.
Some time ago, Orange, whom Otto had sent to the army, wrote Otto a groundbreaking tactic that the army's high command called "unprecedented and unparalleled."
This tactic could absolutely solve the Douluo Three Kingdoms problem.
Otto saw this tactic, looked it over, and thought, "Isn't this just a blitzkrieg?
Using technological inferiority to launch a surprise attack and quickly break down the opponent's resistance."
It was indeed quite advanced for the Douluo Continent, but Orange forgot that the Douluo Three Kingdoms had already experienced a revolution in soul tools.
Xilu City already had high-altitude detection soul tools; most of the soul masters in Mingde Hall specializing in this area were in Xilu City, and the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire had placed orders long ago.
Unless the high-ranking military officials of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire suddenly got diarrhea or died without ever seeing the high-altitude detection soul tools, Orange's plan was basically impossible to achieve.
After a while, Huo Yuhao even planned to try launching a satellite to test the limits of the God Realm's attitude towards the technological development of Douluo Star.
If the satellite was shot down, it would mean that the God Realm didn't want any interstellar travel potential in the planes under its rule.
They only wanted all planes to live peacefully in their pastoral idylls, acting as a source of faith.
This possibility is actually quite high. In the original timeline, when humanity on Douluo Continent truly broke free from the constraints of their planet, the God Realm had already disappeared for 20,000 years.
A technological civilization should exist under the God Realm's rule, as there are a limited number of technological products there, but interstellar civilization is truly unheard of.
Huo Yuhao looked at Amon and said,
"How have you been at sea lately?"
"Didn't encounter any danger?"
"If you need money next time, just contact me directly. Don't go into online fraud."
"I'm worried that one day you'll go astray and get Adam to give you a suit and voice changer to livestream on the magic network to scam money and emotions."
Amon, upon hearing this, laughed and said,
"Father, are you hinting at me?"
"But you know what, it seems quite interesting."
"That girl, Meryl, seems to have done just that."
"Oh, she doesn't need a suit and voice changer. Coincidentally, I don't need one either."
There are both men and women among the Amons, and quite a few are women; having them livestream would indeed be quite interesting.
Amon never minded finding amusement in his own mischief; the idea that Amon doesn't lie to Amon is just as ridiculous as the idea that Tang San doesn't lie to Tang San.
"But the sea has been getting more and more interesting lately."
"Father, have you heard of the Sea God Clan?"
Amon looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile, and Huo Yuhao asked seriously in his dark eyes:
"The Sea God Clan?"
"They've really emerged?"
"Tell me more."
Amon nodded and said:
"The Sea God Clan is headed by the surname Chen."
"The Chen family is the main branch of the Sea God Clan, and their inherited martial soul is the sea, but in my perception, the current patriarch's martial soul should be a god-level martial soul."
"Their patriarch is called Chen Hanhai, and his title is very imposing: Sea God, a level 99 Limit Douluo."
"His spiritual power level should be at the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm."
"He has at least one divine artifact."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Sea God Douluo should be able to use some divine power."
Huo Yuhao said:
"That's not surprising."
"After all, they are an important force of the Sea God, and the patriarch is considered the High Priest of the Sea God, so he must have some trump cards."
"It seems the Sea God Clan has caused quite a stir on the sea?"
Amon pushed up his monocle and said:
"The Sea God Clan has gone to war with that Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Right in the South China Sea."
"Many of the Fishmons participated in that battle."
"The Sea God Clan, relying on the prestige of the Sea God, forcibly united the soul beasts of the ocean and launched a siege against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King." "
The scene was insane; vast areas of the sea were stained deep red with blood—a veritable mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." "
Finally, the Sea God Douluo intervened, severely injuring the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King still managed to escape."
"The Sea God Douluo was directly hit by the vortex released by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King during the pursuit, and his condition wasn't good either."
"In the end, he could only watch as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King retreated into the deep sea."
Huo Yuhao looked at Amon and said,
"Where did the Sea God Clan go next?"
Amon continued,
"I had Fishmons infiltrate the army led by the Sea God Clan."
"They found an opportunity to successfully parasitize a junior member of the Sea God Clan."
"From some elders of the Sea God Clan, I learned that the Sea God Clan's next target is the land."
