Chapter 67 Changes in the Deep Sea, Dialogue in the Imperial Palace
In a deep trench nearly 10,000 meters below the distant Arctic Ocean, a pyramid-shaped building suddenly appeared.
In this huge tetrahedral building with a kilometer long edge and a bright radiance as a whole, several ancient consciousnesses full of time slowly awakened.
They drove their huge spiritual power out of the city wall and shook the bottom of the sea.
In an instant, the ocean currents in an area of several thousand meters caused the seawater to flow backwards.
It shattered hundreds of unlucky deep-sea fish that swam through this place.
"Why did Wang Cheng suddenly escape from the spiritual world and return to reality?"
"Wait a minute, let me take a look."
"The alarm system was triggered."
"Oh, that's it, Wu Zhan is dead."
"Killed by humans."
"Human? What is that?"
"You wake up less often and don't know what's going on outside."
"After our race fell into slumber, Blue Star once again evolved a kind of primate intelligent life, which is the so-called human being."
"Is it strong?"
"Oh, it's extremely fragile, but it tastes good."
"...Wu Zhan is such a waste."
"Wu Zhan is indeed a waste."
"However, according to the information sent before his death, a rare advanced life has appeared among humans."
"Oh, it must be the Wu Zhan he killed."
"Yes, he can defeat the weakest being of our race. As an inferior race, he is proud enough."
"Then, when can our clan set foot on the earth again?"
"The spiritual energy is not active enough yet, please wait a little longer."
"King, when will you wake up?"
"Well, there will be another spiritual energy surge. After the spiritual energy activity on this planet increases, the king will wake up."
"Very good, then we will exterminate human beings and clean the surface of the earth."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
The conversation ends.
These ancient consciousnesses fell into silence again.
The ancient crystal city also shimmered and disappeared into nothingness.
The dark deep sea became calm again.
…
The Divine Capital of Daxia, the Imperial Palace, and the Yangxin Palace.
The lights in the spacious palace were dim.
Emperor Xia, who was sitting upright, now looked increasingly old and decayed.
He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Cang, who was also sitting upright in front of him, and asked with a little expectancy:
"Cang'er, please see if you can cure my disease with your ability?"
Mu Cang frowned rarely, shook his head with a heavy expression and said:
"Father, this is not a disease, but a double deformation of body and soul caused by foreign blood.
Your body has been completely integrated with Wu Zhan's bloodline.
But this bloodline is a foreign thing after all, and it has mutated in extremely strange and domineering ways.
While it absorbs external spiritual energy to maintain its own stability, it also tries its best to destroy the structure of your body and soul as if it is intelligent."
Mu Cang thought for a while and continued: "It's like, the purpose of its existence is to kill you."
After hearing these words, Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment.
The old man sighed leisurely and said: "Oh, karma, this may be Wu Zhan's revenge. Is there any way to get it out?"
Mu Cang thought for a few seconds, shook his head and sighed:
"The forces within your body are currently maintaining an extremely delicate and fragile balance.
As long as there are even a little more variables, this balance may be broken, and then..."
Emperor Xia nodded and said with a relieved smile: "It doesn't matter, I understand, maybe this is fate."
Mu Cang frowned slightly and sighed inwardly: 'Have I paid too much attention to various killing techniques and neglected medical treatment?'
'Creation is always more difficult than destruction.'
Emperor Xia was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "The doctors and sage hands of the Imperial Hospital have predicted for me that I may die in as little as one month or as many as several months."
He raised his head and looked at Mu Cang with bright eyes, his tone suddenly cold:
"Cang'er, do you know.
The Mu royal family has been completely neglected, and the imperial palace guards and the Imperial City Division can only mobilize a thousand people at most."
When the old emperor said this, his tone became colder and colder:
"Hmph, no matter how much respect the world gives to my royal family, it is meaningless without real power."
"The military, nobles, parliament, and financial groups are all collaborating. I have no other hope. I only hope that you can take back the imperial power in this life! Promise me! Cang'er, you must do it!"
Mu Cang couldn't help but laugh:
"Oh, this life? Father, it won't take that long."
"When I need it, I'll get it."
Emperor Xia nodded and sighed, then smiled happily: "Very good, very good!"
"but."
Mu Cang suddenly said, "From now on, everyone who blocks my path will die. Father, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Emperor Xia waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Kill, kill, kill as much as you want. The more blood there is on the dragon chair, the more stable it will be."
"Lone souls are often accompanied on the emperor's road. When they get down there, they can take care of each other."
"very good."
Hearing this, Mu Cang smiled with satisfaction.
The Divine Capital of Daxia.
Inside the Imperial Council.
The atmosphere in the closed conference room was heavy and solemn.
Surrounding the round table in the center of the conference room, sat the top officials of many important departments such as the Secret Service, Military Intelligence, and Military Research Institutes.
As well as the marshal of the empire, the general, the speaker of the Great Chamber, the president of the Daxia General Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Noble Federation, etc., almost all the powerful giants in the empire.
There are also chief scientists from scientific research departments such as the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Development, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Technology Development Agency, and the Military Academy of Sciences.
After the crown prince's canonization ceremony, these high-ranking imperial officials all gathered together.
On the wall in front of them, a huge display screen was hanging.
On the display screen, the battle scene between Mu Cang's true clone and Wu Zhan in the old industrial area continued to play.
It was the video that the Secret Service agents risked their lives to shoot.
The video picture is blurry, there is no sound, and the shaking is extremely violent.
The specific look and feel is really a bit unsatisfactory.
But no one at the scene paid attention to this small problem.
They all looked at the screen with serious faces.
Afterwards.
During the whole viewing process, from time to time someone would make a sound of exclamation and gasping.
Everyone's face was filled with shock, horror, and fear.
"It's... it's amazing, no, it's terrifying!!"
A middle-aged general couldn't help stroking his forehead and sighed, "It is simply... unimaginable that an individual human being can possess such terrifying power."
The senior officer wearing glasses next to him shook his head in denial: "No, no, no, His Royal Highness is definitely a Blue Star human. That prehistoric creature... is not certain."
A military intelligence officer on the side frowned:
"I feel that the standard list of social threat levels from D to SS may no longer be sufficient."
"Then, how about another SSS level? Or X level." Someone suggested.
"this……"
The military commander hesitated and said, "The display of combat power in the picture is too amazing. I have to go back and have a meeting to talk about it."
The top officer of the Secret Service sitting next to him hesitated and said:
"With such outrageous combat effectiveness, I guess both tank troops and supersonic fighter jets are of little use."
A person next to me thought:
"Conventional chemical kinetic energy weapons, according to data evaluation, will basically have no effect against them."
"Then how to fight?"
"Can anyone think of a solution?"
"Uh, can you surrender?"
"..."
Someone frowned and said, "Has the Military Intelligence Department conducted any simulations on the effects of sonic weapons?
What about microwave weapons, laser weapons, and nerve gases?"
The person next to him shook his head: "They can go supersonic on the spot without accelerating distance. Their physical strength is already terrifying. How can they be afraid of these things?!"
"Then, we can only use high-yield nuclear weapons."
"Their average speed is Mach 15, and the peak speed is Mach 28. With all due respect..."
A military scientist in a white coat turned over the information in his hand, shook his head and said in denial,
"At this speed, there is no way to achieve precise positioning, not to mention that nuclear-laden missiles cannot fly that fast."
"To be able to support this kind of super-intensity battle, the materials used to build their bodies must be beyond common sense.
Unless it is hit head-on by a nuclear bomb with a huge yield, even if it deviates a little distance, it is estimated that it will not be able to cause effective damage."
At this time, an old scientist raised his hand and said doubtfully:
"I want to know what happened with that big explosion on the outskirts of Shendu?"
The middle-aged official who had been standing in the corner in charge of the remote control display said slowly:
"Are you sure you want to see it?"
The old scientist frowned and affirmed: "Of course, I have to see it, otherwise I can't make an assessment."
Others also became interested and looked at the big screen intently.
