21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 447 436 Legendary (Seeking monthly tickets, seeking subscriptions)

Qingdai had not anticipated that Chen Yu, who seemed utterly inconspicuous and just an ordinary person, would actually be even more formidable than the person she called Grandfather, nor could she have imagined that Jounouchi Hiromi, who in her eyes was merely a woman of fading beauty relying on her relationship with Chen Yu for her position, would turn out to be an even more terrifying existence than Chen Yu.

This truly filled Qingdai with immense surprise and shock. The man she called Grandfather had lived nearly two hundred years and had just barely reached the threshold of the Legendary, and because of past events, he couldn't progress any further. But how old was Chen Yu? He was already a Transcendent on par with the Legendary? How could Qingdai believe that Jounouchi Hiromi, whom she saw every day and had even offended several times, could be even more powerful than Chen Yu!

After all, that was the Legendary, a realm that the person she called Grandfather spent two hundred years to approach, enduring unimaginable pain and paying a horrifying price without ever being able to step through its gate. It was the highest realm that a Transcendent of the Human World could achieve in this Age of Dharma Decline!

In the ancient era when mythology flourished, perhaps there were those who could break through the Legendary to ascend to even greater heights and become deities. But in the modern society, where the mystical is hidden and technology thrives, becoming a Legendary is already extraordinarily difficult, let alone surpassing it.

Ordinary people might find it hard to know about the Legendary, but Qingdai, due to her own experiences and the deliberate cultivation by the man she called Grandfather, knew quite a bit about the matter.

In this current era, although there are still Legendary individuals alive, due to the two world wars that affected history, the high-end Supernatural powers of all nations suffered great losses. During World War I, the British Empire that once ruled the vast waves, along with European powerhouses like France and Deutschland, incurred tremendous losses. This allowed the red Giant that took an alternative path to rise.

Some Transcendents who avoided the chaos of war and were unwilling to throw themselves into that meat grinder of a battlefield fled to the United States of America, allowing this nation, which originally had some Supernatural heritage only because of the massacre of Indians and the reception of Supernatural criminals exiled by European countries, to acquire its own Supernatural Power and begin its gradual ascent.

As for Deutschland during the second world war, it must be said that there was a reason for the historical record of the Führer's obsession with mystical forces. It was precisely because of his tireless pursuit of mystical forces that his steel lion was able to trample the whole of Europe and stand without equal, with even the red Giant only able to keep them at bay from the capital by countless sacrifices.

These two wars almost completely depleted Europa's Supernatural foundation, and even after more than half a century, Europe has not quite recovered its vitality. The current Legendary powers largely come from the old Immortals who survived before the wars, similar to the situation of the man Qingdai called Grandfather. However, the others are true Legends, living three to five hundred years, whereas her Grandfather sustained his life through a bloody, cruel, and venomous method.

Not every country is in such a state, though. The United States of America, which gained a lot from both world wars, capitalized on the opportunities to obtain substantial war dividends. As a result, the nation's Supernatural forces significantly increased, acquiring a number of Legendary figures and might that could compare with the old powers. Though the ranks included many figures in name only and the mixture was diverse, it must be acknowledged that the sheer number of dozens of Legends could now compete with all existing Legends of Europa.

And that was why the United States of America was able to drag the red Giant down through the Cold War after World War II, because before the fall of that Giant, its Supernatural forces had already been thoroughly crushed by the United States of America.

Of course, aside from the United States of America, the truly powerful land was the ancient soil known as Shen Zhou, lying across the sea from Japan.

Its incomparably long history and unbroken civilization provided this nation with a supernatural foundation far surpassing any other country in the world. Although it was severely affected by being ruled by barbarians in its modern history, and the Legendary Warriors who survived from the Ming Dynasty refused to fight for these invaders, resulting in an invasion by the British Empire, then the world's foremost superpower, in alliance with Europa. Subsequently, it fell into civil unrest and fierce battles, which drained a vast amount of its Supernatural Power.

Nevertheless, when Japan, taking advantage of World War II, invaded that land with the full might of the nation united with Shinto, they were still nearly annihilated. Not only were many Legendary Warriors killed by the Transcendent beings of the Celestial Empire, but many deities also fell. After all, in terms of historical depth, even the mountain and river gods of the Land of the Divine were immensely formidable entities.

And that country, from the ruins, was reborn like a phoenix and flourished once again. A host of new Legendary powers were born out of the war, endowing the country with enough strength to stand against the increasingly overbearing United States of America without groveling as Japan did, depleted of national power.

However, even on the vast expanses of Shen Zhou, a young Legend like Chen Yu was rare, even though he had not yet broken through and was merely a Sub-Legendary standing at the threshold of Legend.

A Sub-Legendary at merely thirty years old—what an astonishing prodigy! It could even be said with near certainty that his breakthrough into Legend was a foregone conclusion, practically set in stone. It was possible that, barring any accidents, Chen Yu would absolutely break through into Legend before the age of fifty, and even before the end of his lifespan, the feat of reliving the mythical era might be within his reach!

No wonder he was able to produce so many medical research results capable of changing the world. For a Sub-Legendary engaged in medical research, these things were indeed insignificant.

"Perhaps we can use his power to free ourselves from grandfather's control and obtain what we have always dreamed of," Qingdai said, her face alight with irrepressible excitement and agitation as she looked at her naked body in the mirror, her skin rivaling snow in its whiteness, flushing a rosy hue from her excitement.

Yet in the middle of this alluring scene, Qingdai speaking to the mirror was quite peculiar.

"Perhaps we can, but a newly risen Sub-Legendary may not necessarily be able to handle the old man," was the even more peculiar reply from Qingdai in the mirror, with a voice that seemed to come from Qingdai's own mouth, but sounded somewhat masculine.

"Don't worry, if that girl Nanao didn't lie to us, aside from Professor Chen Yu, his girlfriend Doctor Jounouchi, and the three leaders of the Mingyue Society, all of these will be our support," replied Qingdai in her original voice, her eyes shining with an indescribable luster as if a flame was burning. "Nanao mentioned that Doctor Jounouchi was an ordinary person before the New Year, but after the New Year, she gained tremendous power. Don't you find that interesting?"
