Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 500: Dark Alchemy - The Balance of Time, capable of fusing the power of monsters

Zhao Ming stayed with Liang in the command room for a while before heading to Munakata's office. The case of Dr. Otomo's disappearance should have been handled by ordinary police officers, but Zhao Ming had already learned that the island had been transformed into a monster cloning factory, so he led the Black Storm Team directly.

Zhao Ming knocked on the door, and after hearing Zong Fang's voice "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in. Zong Fang was sitting at his desk sorting documents, and when he saw Zhao Ming come in, he put down his pen and stood up.

"Zhao Ming, you're really good at predicting things!" Zong Fang smiled and looked at Zhao Ming with interest. He was very curious about how he could know the situation on the island in advance. "How did you do it?"

Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. Ever since the news of Dr. Otomo cloning monsters came to light, I've been keeping an eye on him."

"Oh? You're following Dr. Otomo?" Zongfang frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by Zhao Ming's answer. In his opinion, this guy was always a person who would not do anything without profit, so why would he follow Dr. Otomo for no reason?

Seeing this, Zhao Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He slowly pulled out the battle instrument from his pocket and gently placed it on Zong Fang's desk.

Zongfang looked closely and saw that of the four slots on the battle instrument, the first three had already been filled with a monster. Aside from the adult golden dragon Goldras, Golzan and Melba were still juveniles.

Zong Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately understood Zhao Ming's intention. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile of sudden enlightenment: "Haha, I get it! You played a pretty good trick, kid!

Let Dr. Otomo set the stage for you first, and then you can take over. That way, all his research results will fall into your pocket!"

As Munakata spoke, he pointed at the two young Golzan and Melba, "Are these the results of Dr. Otomo's biological cloning?"

"Hehe... Commander, don't say that. Dr. Otomo doesn't have the power to control a monster. Rather than let his research be destroyed, it's better to put it in my hands. It's safer and can improve my strength."

Zongfang shook his head helplessly. "You are quite a shrewd fellow. But there is still an empty slot on this battle meter. What kind of monster are you going to find to put in there?"

A mysterious smile played on Zhao Ming's lips. "Well, I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll keep an eye out for suitable targets. Next time I encounter a powerful enemy, these new monsters will be able to show their prowess."

Zong Fang leaned back in his chair and said seriously, "Zhao Ming, although you have enhanced your own strength with the help of these monsters, you must also exercise due caution. If these guys get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Ming nodded and assured him confidently, "Don't worry! This is Leonics' exclusive combat instrument. It can absolutely perfectly control the monster's behavior. I'm not like Dr. Otomo, who dares to do things without confidence!"

After the two chatted and joked for a while, Zhao Ming also paid special attention to the progress between Zong Fang and Chief of Staff Hui Jujian. He saw Zong Fang hesitating for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Zhao Ming looked at Zong Fang with disdain, as if to say, "You've been secretly in love with her for so long, why haven't you made any progress? Dijing and Dagu's child is almost old enough to help with cooking!"

Seeing this, Zong Fang couldn't hold it in any longer and directly kicked Zhao Ming out of his office.

"Really? You just kick me out when you can't win the argument. You're almost forty years old and still a single guy...tsk tsk tsk..." Zhao Ming said helplessly, then turned around and left and returned to his office.

Camilla had been sitting quietly at her desk reviewing documents. When she heard the door open, she looked up slightly, her eyes fell on Zhao Ming who had walked in, and asked softly, "You're back. Have you finished everything?"

Zhao Ming smiled and replied softly, "It's done, let's go home!" His tone revealed a sense of ease and satisfaction, and he seemed very satisfied with what he had just accomplished.

Then, he gathered golden spacetime particles in his hands and drew circles, creating a golden vortex-shaped portal in the air. This portal led to their yard, and through the swirling golden light, he could see the scene inside the yard.

In the yard, Gaddy was lying on the ground, guarding the door. He had been dozing, but when he sensed a familiar movement, he perked up, stood up, and ran happily toward the portal, wagging his tail. Gaddy stepped through the portal and rushed directly in front of Zhao Ming.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming squatted down and reached out to gently stroke Gaddy's head. Gaddy nuzzled Zhao Ming's hand affectionately, as if expressing his longing and affection for his master. Camilla also walked over and watched the scene tenderly, a faint smile on her face.

"Let's go in." Zhao Ming stood up and said to Camilla. He took Camilla and Gaddy into the house. When they entered the house, the portal closed automatically, as if its mission had been completed.

After entering the house, Zhao Ming sat down on the sofa and relaxed for a moment. After a moment, he stood up and walked straight to his laboratory. Inside, he began searching for various metal materials, as if some new plan was brewing in his mind.

He planned to create a thousand-year-old artifact capable of fusing monsters—the Millennium Balance. The power of the three legendary dragons could only be combined with the power of light. If they were guided to merge with the power of darkness, a conflict of power would occur, rendering them unusable.

Zhao Ming slowly walked to the Dark Magic Platform and looked at the three huge and unique dark runes on it. These runes were carved with great precision, as if they contained endless dark power.

From time to time, they flash a hazy and mysterious light, as if whispering those unknown dark secrets and taboos.

Zhao Ming stood before the dark magic table, gently waving his wand with his right hand and muttering an obscure spell. As he chanted, the dark power within him began to surge, continuously pouring into the metal material placed on the magic table.

Under the influence of the dark forces, these metal materials began to undergo mysterious transformations. They merged and reassembled, emitting a sizzling sound as if in painful struggle. A strange light flickered continuously on the magic stage, illuminating the entire scene with a dreamlike quality.

Zhao Ming concentrated on controlling this dark power, his eyes fixed on the metal materials on the magic table, not daring to relax for a moment. As the dark power continued to be injected, the metal gradually deformed, from its initial blocky form to a strange shape, twisting as if with life.

Just as Zhao Ming was concentrating on controlling this power, a burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted from the magic platform. This light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. When the light dissipated, a golden artifact appeared within the magic platform.

This antique is a golden scale, with a flat base on each side and a circular support column in the center. Atop the column is a decorative golden eyeball, emitting a faint glow. The entire scale looks simple and solemn, as if bearing the vicissitudes of time.

"The Millennium Balance, the seven thousand-year-old artifacts contain the power to fuse and upgrade dark monsters. With it, I can fuse the single monster in the battle instrument into a more powerful dark fusion beast!" Zhao Ming said excitedly. He took out the Millennium Balance and looked at it carefully, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Although the monsters he currently possesses can only temporarily fuse into monsters like Gorba, this is enough to give him an advantage in battle. Zhao Ming continues to explore more of the mysteries of Dark Alchemy to see what other surprises it can bring...
