CHAPTER 476: Not Born Of Me And You!

Looking at this plump woman dancing and gesticulating with joy, Han Shuo was momentarily dazed.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a way to associate this ordinary looking, plump, middle-aged woman with thoroughly rosy skin with the enormously bulky Lord of Flames. But having witnessed the entire transformation process with his own eyes, Han Shuo knew that this woman was indeed the Lord of Flames.

More often than not, super-ranked magical beasts had the ability to transform into human forms. For powerful races such as the dragons, they would already possess such transformation ability at rank one. However, a subset of super-ranked creatures would be subject to certain natural limitations due to their rather unique body structures. These creatures had to evolve to an extremely high level in order to possess such a transformation ability.

The Lord of Flames was one such magical creature. Her body was mainly composed of magma and volcanic rock instead of flesh and bones, which was completely different from an ordinary magical beast. Therefore, in order to transform into human form, they had to be of an extremely high level for their kind.

From the moment the Lord of the Flames transformed into that fat woman, Han Shuo knew that she had broken through her shackles and evolved to the fifth level of Flame Emperor. A Fifth Level Flame Emperor was the equivalent of a human demigod existence, a powerful existence that would surely terrify everyone on the Profound Continent at the mere mention of its name.

After the Emperor of Flames transformed, she seemed quite fascinated by this new ability she had just acquired. One moment she was slapping her chest, the next she was rubbing her shoulders, all the while laughing heartily.

"Little rascal, this is all thanks to you!" the Emperor of Flames laughed, pointing at the Fire Elite Zombie floating in the extreme fireplace. Rolling the lava to create a current, she pushed the Fire Elite Zombie in front of her and grabbed it while laughing heartily. With great joy, she then moved and danced with the Fire Elite Zombie as if it were a toy.

Han Shuo was shocked. He stared blankly at the Emperor of Flames ravaging the Fire Elite Zombie, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, the Fat Lady seemed to have had enough of playing around and finally put the Fire Elite Zombie down. Chuckling, she said, "Always looking for trouble for me. But fortunately, thanks to this trouble, I was able to break through this thousand-year shackle and reach the level five realm!"

Without the interference of the Fat Lady, also known as the Emperor of Flames, the Fire Elite Zombie stood firmly on the magma of the Extreme Fire Place. Gesturing with both hands, he used the energy of his soul to communicate with the Flame Emperor: "Mother , that's great! You look as good as me now!"

Mother? Han Shuo was stunned. With his jaw on the ground, he stared foolishly at the Fire Elite Zombie and the Fat Lady communicating. For a moment, his heart felt incomparably sullen.

From the moment the Fire Elite Zombie was first planted at the Extreme Fire Site, Han Shuo was aware that the Flame Emperor treated the Fire Elite Zombie as her own child. Due to the presence of the Yuan Energy of Fire, the Fire Elite Zombie recognised the Emperor of Flames as its mother, and certainly regarded her as its mother.

However, at that time, Han Shuo had not yet considered the Fire Elite Zombie to be his own son, and the Fire Elite Zombie had not yet begun to address Han Shuo as his father. But some time ago, subconsciously, Han Shuo had begun to think of the Fire Elite Zombie as his own son. He had even gotten used to the Fire Elite Zombie calling him father.

However, now that the Fire Elite Zombie was addressing the Flame Emperor as mother and Han Shuo as father, when he looked at the obese middle-aged woman in front of him, he suddenly felt a chill that made his hair stand on end.

Han Shuo's scalp went numb. As he listened to their conversation, the fire elite zombie flatly calling the Emperor of Flames his 'mother' and Han Shuo his 'father', he couldn't help but visualise certain rather terrifying scenes in his mind.

Too... too horrible! Han Shuo seemed to have thought of something, his expression turned incredibly ugly.

"Hey, young man over there, are you the father of my son?" Just as Han Shuo's imagination ran wild, the fat middle-aged woman shouted at Han Shuo.

"Are you the father of my son?" Those words sent a chill down Han Shuo's spine. With a smile that was even more unseemly than crying, he hastily replied, "No, not born by me and you!"

When Han Shuo said those words, he really wanted to punch himself in the face. The more he panicked, the more incoherent his speech became. His expression became even uglier. It had been years since he had faced such an embarrassing situation.

"Nonsense, of course I know you and I did not give birth to him!" the Emperor of Flames carelessly scolded Han Shuo. She seemed to be a rather shrewd woman with no shame whatsoever. She then added, "Besides, I cannot give birth! Yes, and of course you can't either, can you?"

"Father, my mother can now transform into human form. She wants to leave this place and experience the outside world," Fire Elite Zombie told Han Shuo. Afterwards, Fire Elite Zombie felt that Han Shuo's mind was in disarray. Concerned, he asked, "Father, what's wrong? Why are you so frenetic?"

"Nothing... nothing!" Han Shuo replied hastily.

"Ever since I learned of this good place, I have always stayed here to accumulate more energy and evolve. It's been so long that I've lost count of how many years have passed. And now that I can finally transform into human form, a good time to see and experience the outside world," the fat lady interrupted as she looked at Han Shuo.

"Oh... that's good. The human world is truly fascinating. With your appearance now, ordinary people will definitely not regard you as a non-human. With your brave strength, you can travel anywhere on this Profound Continent," Han Shuo replied to the Emperor of Flames.

Suddenly, Han Shuo was startled. It was only now that the formidable demigod strength of the Flame Emperor had occurred to him. Regardless of the chill he felt when the Fire Elite Zombie addressed them as father and mother, this Flame Emperor of Demigod Strength would not turn against him because of the Fire Elite Zombie. If he could use the Flame Emperor's strength to help himself, it would undoubtedly be an invaluable boost for him.

So, right after he said those words, and before the Flame Emperor could respond, Han Shuo hastily invited her, "I am familiar with the human world. Why not come and visit our Lancelot Empire and observe the differences between the world of humans and the world of magical beasts?"

"Ah, sure, I don't have a specific destination anyway. I was planning to just wander around and go wherever I feel like going," the fat lady said, agreeing to Han Shuo's suggestion without further ado, much to Han Shuo's surprise. After thinking for a moment, she grabbed the Fire Elite Zombie before saying to Han Shuo, "Let's go up first."

"Oh, okay!" Han Shuo replied. He then turned his gaze to the dark dragons who were also staring dumbfounded at the Emperor of Flames below them and said, "Let's go. Get to the top of the gorge first. We'll discuss everything later."

"Bryan, is Gilbert, the naughty little one, dead?" Gilges, the patriarch of the Dark Dragons, gradually regained his energy after escaping from the cage. At the fourth level of the evolutionary ladder, he was able to adapt to the high temperatures without the slightest discomfort. However, it was obvious from his face that he was in deep pain, a pain that would never seem to go away.

When Gilbert was mentioned, Han Shuo couldn't help but feel another pang in his heart. But unlike before, now that he had found a way to deal with it, the sadness was not as intense. With some difficulty, Han Shuo forced a smile and comforted Gilges, "Be at ease. Although Gilbert is dead, I have kept his soul. Give me some time and I will have him reborn and stand before you again."

After a short pause, with cold sparks flashing in his eyes, he added in a deep voice, "Moreover, Gilbert's sacrifice will not be in vain. I will make the Ice Shrine pay a hundred times over for what they've done!"

"Really? You can resurrect Gilbert?" the patriarch of the dark dragons said with a slightly trembling voice as he looked at Han Shuo in disbelief.

Han Shuo nodded. Just as he was about to give him a complete guarantee, he changed his mind. No matter if he used demonic arts or necromancy magic, the resurrected Gilbert would never truly be the same as the one that had just died. As he realised this, he was once again deeply saddened. He sighed, "I can promise that Gilbert will be resurrected. But there will be some changes in his new body.

Gilges was no ordinary being. He understood exactly what Han Shuo was talking about. He sighed and replied, "As long as he can be resurrected, nothing else matters."

"Let's go, let's go. For someone several thousand years old, you are as long-winded as a woman." As Han Shuo and Gilges continued to sigh in sorrow, the Emperor of Flames couldn't help but hurry them along. She had never taken a tour of the continent with a human identity. Now that she had finally evolved to the fifth level, the Emperor level, with great difficulty, she was becoming rather impatient.

Without further words, Han Shuo nodded to Gilges before flying out through the opening in the lava waterfall. One by one, they all evacuated.

Arriving at the ravine, Han Shuo looked at the crowd of non-human creatures. For a moment, he couldn't decide where to put them.

"We want to avenge Gilbert!

From this day on, the Shrine of Ice will be the sworn enemy of us dark dragons!" A sturdy but boorish looking Dark Dragon let out a roar of anger when he saw Gilbert's body lying in the ravine, bathing in his own blood.

During the thrilling battle in the valley, magma from the place of extreme fire shot violently everywhere, causing another volcanic eruption in the small valley . The magma, enriched with a huge amount of fire yuan energy, engulfed Gilbert's dead body.

Gilbert's once lifeless body was now reduced to a pitiful mass after boiling in the magma, his skin and flesh all vaporised. All that remained was a colossal skeleton, a magical beast crystal core and two eyeballs.

Looking at Gilbert's skeletal remains, even with the means to resurrect Gilbert, Han Shuo could not contain his anger and roared at the sky in burning fury, "That's right! We must take revenge!"

At that moment, the Dark Dragon Patriarch Gilges flew to Gilbert's remains and very carefully collected Gilbert's crystal core and his two eyes, stowing them away like treasure.

After this angry roar, Han Shuo summoned the Earth Elite Zombie. With the Earth Elite Zombie's gift, Dark Dragon Gilbert's colossal skeletal remains were buried deep underground, to be used one day in the future to reconstruct Gilbert's physical body.

"I want to join the human society!" the Flame Emperor said resolutely as she looked at Han Shuo.

Just as Han Shuo was about to agree, his consciousness suddenly felt an endless hatred coming from Tarrag Canyon. He felt a shock in his heart and immediately came to his senses. When he had completely released his consciousness to deal with the Ice Shrine earlier, the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race had discovered his tracks.

Concerned, Han Shuo quickly covered his consciousness.

Suddenly, an idea crossed Han Shuo's mind and his eyes glistened. After a short while, the corners of Han Shuo's lips curved to reveal a most sinister smile. He had found a way to deal with the Ice Shrine.

"Hey, young man, didn't you say you were going to take me to the human world?" the fat lady once again hurried Han Shuo along without the slightest scruple.

"Elizabeth!" Han Shuo shouted lightly.

"Yes Master, any orders?" Elizabeth's body had now recovered. After suffering a bout of unforgettable pain, Elizabeth's body was now filled with divine energy that came from Ice Celestial Corey and the others. Without Corey and the others interfering, the divine energy was slowly being absorbed into Elizabeth's Divine Favour Body.

As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. This time, not only did the fat woman evolve from Lord of the Flames to Emperor of the Flames, but Elizabeth also received many benefits. Once her body had completely absorbed the divine energy, Elizabeth's strength would surely increase by another step.

"Show her around the Lancelot realm. If she gets bored, just take her to Brettel City.

Do you understand?" Han Shuo instructed Elizabeth with narrowed eyes.

Elizabeth understood Han Shuo's request. She nodded respectfully and replied, "Rest assured Master.

I will make sure she enjoys herself to the fullest."

"Alright, let's go," the fat woman said impatiently, wanting to leave and take the Fire Elite Zombie with her.

"Wait!" When Han Shuo saw the Emperor of Flames grabbing Fire Elite Zombie's hand and not letting go, he hastily shouted, "He cannot go with you!"

"Why not? This is my child, why can't he go with me?" The fat lady was somewhat displeased and groaned, her eyes glaring at Han Shuo.

"He is my child too!" Han Shuo replied hastily.

Gilges included, the entire race of dark dragons and Elizabeth all had a strange look on their faces after Han Shuo said those words.

After another shudder, Han Shuo forced a smile and said, "It's better if he follows me." This kind of expression sounded like a divorced couple fighting over the custody of their children.

The Emperor of Flames was furious. Just as she was about to speak, the Fire Elite Zombie tugged at the corner of her clothing and communicated with her telepathically.

The emotion on her face was indeterminate, but after a short while, it turned to relief. She looked at Han Shuo and said, "Take good care of our child for me!" Then she immediately picked up Elizabeth and flew out of the Dark Forest.

Han Shuo was speechless.
