Chapter 99: Return Party

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The criminal record book mentioned hundreds of superhumans breaking the law with their supernatural powers, but in the end, they were all subjugated by the Supernatural Tower.

“Many people gain a sense of supremacy after they become superhumans. They think that since they can make fireb.a.l.l.s, they are obligated to get everything. They refuse to submit to the current societal laws. Instead, they choose the path of criminals. In the end, all such people are subjugated by the Supernatural Tower,” Luo Hai said with a sigh.

“Honestly, these people are really stupid. Superhumans have an advantage in physical strength and wisdom, and we can rise to great power with the existing game rules anyway, so why do we need to turn over everything in existence and destroy it?

“They think that since they have ultimate skills, they can destroy everything and the mutual benefits shared between the normal people and superhumans. People like that aren’t fit to be humans anymore. They’re just a monster in human skin and even more dangerous than a normal monster. They have to be eradicated at any cost!”

Meng Chao agreed with it.

He also understood the general gist behind why the Supernatural Tower asked new superhumans to come here to be registered.

It was to make the conceited new superhumans understand the rules. They were not to think that they could disregard the law just because they could throw fireb.a.l.l.s and release electricity.

The world was huge, and there were plenty of things that could subjugate them.

Just as Meng Chao expected, when they reached the next e-cla.s.sroom, another employee released a few lecture videos to instill in them the logic behind knowing the law, obeying the law, protecting the law, and living harmoniously with normal people.

A few superhumans who had completed their sentences and were released used their personal experience to talk about the consequences of using their supernatural abilities to commit crimes.

Another two representatives from the Red Dragon Army motivated to be courageous and kill their enemies so that they could protect their civilization.

The two young men spent two hours watching the videos and finally went into the imposing hall officially.

The spirit energy was thick there, and it felt as if there were ripples in the air, making them feel as if they were in an underground crystal palace.

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath, and all 36,000 of his pores opened. Wisps of colorful spirit energy surged into them and slowly flowed through his spirit meridians, blood vessels, nervous system, and organs.

Ahead of the young men was a crystalline statue that was more than ten meters tall.

The image of a tall and built man with a sharp gaze was carved on it. In his hands, he held a feline-type monster’s neck. Under his feet was the head of a snake-type monster.

Even though the monster python was using most of its body to bind the man’s thighs, it could not stop the man. He practically made its body implode, and its brains turned to mush.

The statue had been carved by a master. The st.u.r.dy crystal seemed to have been given life, and they could clearly sense the pain and terror of the monsters.

The man’s rage and immense strength also seemed to be coming in their faces like a storm.

It was Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao. Even if half a century had pa.s.sed, he remained the strongest superhuman in terms of fighting strength in Dragon City!

As they looked at the Battle G.o.d’s statue, Meng Chao and Luo Hai’s eyes sparkled in the same way.

First, they were dazed, as if they thought that this was the way a man should act.

Then, their eyes became focused, and it was as if fire had started gus.h.i.+ng out of their eyes. ‘I’m going to replace him!’

When they sensed the ambitious flames burning within each other, they looked at each other and smiled.

The Battle G.o.d’s statue was carved from a single crystal.

It was the largest crystal with the highest purity ever excavated by Dragon City. Its value could not be determined, and it was a treasure of all Earthlings.

Carved into the semi-transparent statue were a lot of fine lines, which looked like a human’s nervous system and blood circulatory system.

The colorful spirit energy was like wisps of live electricity that moved through the lines. They intersected with each other and endlessly stirred up trails of sparks and flames, creating a complicated three-dimensional picture.

This was the result of half a century worth of effort. The pioneers had experimented repeatedly and even died before they managed to gather up the most basic spirit energy magnetic field.

The surface of the statue also had complicated, intersecting runic symbols carved onto it.

The runic symbols were two-dimensional projections of the spirit energy magnetic field.

They also had the effect of interfering with the nuclear-sphere energy level and changing the nature of materials to release high-energy reactions.

More than one hundred superhumans sat around the statue and stared at it for a long time while immersed in their thoughts.

Luo Hai told Meng Chao that they were powerful people in society who had only awakened to supernatural abilities while they were in their thirties or forties.

They did not receive any legacies, and they could not receive the systematic teachings from universities, so they could only attend all sorts of training courses or face this statue that was covered in basic runes and had the spirit energy magnetic field carved into it to train on their own in the Supernatural Tower.

It had to be said that there were a lot of powerful people in society who gained enlightenment from the statue and reached new heights.

This was also why Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao decided to risk everything and concentrated all his power into the crystal statue.

The two young men bowed to the statue and headed inside.

There were four large monitors suspended in the air. They showed the values of various valuable materials, the information of powerful people recruiting teammates, along with the price needed for a powerful person personally teaching someone a certain amazing skill. There was also all sorts of other information that the superhumans cared about the most.

Spiraling escalators or direct elevators were also around. They led to cultivation rooms, recovery rooms, stimulation fighting rooms, material trading centers, weapons storages, medicine creation centers, and processing rooms where weapons could be processed and carved with runic symbols.

The superhumans who gathered here were large and built as well as elegant. Their eyes sparkled brilliantly, and their arms were covered in spirit tattoos or faint spirit flames surrounded their bodies.

Some of the people even had metallic or crystalline skin. They looked rather terrifying.

But those who looked like they were nothing special were worth Meng Chao paying attention to them even more. They had surpa.s.sed Earth Realm and reached Heaven Realm, where their powers could be restrained in their bodies, and they could appear to be otherworldly beings.

Compared to the past, the Supernatural Tower today had a murderous air about it, as if it was about to go to war.

The Red Dragon Army was releasing numerous missions, so quite a number of powerful people surrounded the military officers and talked to them excitedly.

“Looks like the arrival of the fog the last few times has angered the higher-ups. Dragon City is making preparations for further expansion.” Luo Hai smiled. “The monsters actually dared to stomp on our tails during the national college examination. They are definitely going to face the humans’ fury again, since we’ll launch a one hundred times stronger offense than they launched on us.

“We’re lucky. Even if we’re just freshmen, there’s a high possibility that we can take up missions in our universities and head into the fog to fight.”

Meng Chao was not that optimistic.

He frowned a little while thinking about it.

Luo Hai immediately noticed it. “What is it? Are you part of the Return Party and are against further expansion?”

Dragon City had transmigrated for fifty years, and many of the people with vision began thinking about their future. This led to many schools of thought that were not compatible with each other and even clashed with each other.

The first, of course, was the Colonization Party. They believed that Earth’s army was bound to sweep through the Other World and spread Earth’s civilization. They had a holy mission that they had to shoulder, and it was their so-called destiny.

The Return Party had a completely different mindset.

Earthlings did not know just how large the Other World was, but based on the size of the Other World creatures and the parameters of the planet, it was a planet about the same size as Earth.

Since it was a huge planet filled with mysterious spirit energy, all sorts of miracles and nightmares could happen.

Dragon City was a lone, foreign army, and it was too much of a stretch to conquer the entire planet with just one city, even if it were a supercity that had all the industries and a population of tens of millions.

As of current, Dragon City only needed to defend the city. They had not run into any pressure from supplies, so they could naturally have a very strong army.

But once they increased the speed of their expansion and the area they occupied increased, the supply line would stretch out, and no matter how great the army was at mowing down the enemy, their strength would be slowly whittled down until they were at their last breath.

In the end, Dragon City would be like a huge stone thrown into the water. After creating a magnificent splash, it would be washed away by the river of time.

“There have been countless expeditionary forces that tried to take large territories despite their small size in the history of Earth. Their offense in the beginning was very smooth, but soon, the large countries would wake up from their slumber and swiftly take down the expeditionary forces like how the sun melts ice.

“The mysterious Other World is like a slumbering beast. We can’t afford to wake it up.

“This is not our home. Instead of launching a major offensive and falling into an all-out war that we’ll end up being unable to get out of, it’s better to fortify the city and put most of our resources into transmigration research.

“There is a reason behind everything. Since Dragon City transmigrated from Earth, once we understand the scientific reason behind it, it won’t be a dream for us to transmigrate back to Earth.

“Even if we can’t go back, at the very least, we should open up the dimensional tunnel between Earth and the Other World so that Earth can turn into our greatest backup. Then, we can launch a full-frontal a.s.sault on the Other World.”

This was the main train of thought of those in the Return Party.

As of current, Dragon Citizens had won for decades, and all of them were arrogant. The Colonization Party had more supporters, and the Return Party was pushed aside. Their thoughts were even mocked to be empty worries belonging to cowards.

Meng Chao remembered that when the war went south in the future, the Return Party had jumped out to cause trouble.

Many Monday morning quarterbacks started making insignificant statements such as, “In the past, I supported the Return Party. Conquering the Other World with a single city will definitely end in failure...”

The internal conflict between the Return Party and Colonization Party was one of the reasons behind Dragon City’s defeat.

Meng Chao did not refute the Return Party’s theory. He believed that there was a certain degree of rationality to what they said.

But he was not part of the Return Party.

The reason behind it was simple. Even when the apocalypse arrived, the Return Party did not manage to figure out how to transmigrate.

They did not manage to send Dragon City back to Earth, and neither did they manage to open the dimensional tunnel between the Other World and Earth.

Then, why were they still tooting their own horns?

Meng Chao thought about it and said, “I’m not part of the Return Party. At the very least, I won’t place my hopes on this vague idea of transmigration. I just think that if we launch an offense en ma.s.se right now, we’ll be acting a little too hastily. We’d be underestimating the monsters’ strength, and we might end up suffering a major setback because of it. If we wait until the time is right before we make further expansions, we would not be sacrificing so many people.”

“When the time is right?” Luo Hai smiled. “Time won’t wait for us, Meng Chao. Dragon City isn’t as strong, beautiful, and prosperous as it seems. Underneath the facade, there are all sorts of conflicts, and they have already become so intense that we need a war to vent our anger. Let’s not talk about anything else and just focus on the tens of millions people we gained over the past three decades because of our gene farms and synthesized food. Most of these people are young, but how can Dragon City hope to provide work for all of them?

“Yeah, I know. We have luncheon meat, so we won’t starve to death, but we won’t be satisfied by just not starving to death.

“Besides, the lack of resources is a huge burden because of all our citizens cultivating. The education and fighting system will gradually become unable to support us, but we can’t strip the normal people of their rights to cultivate. We can’t cut down on the rewards given to those who have performed meritorious deeds either.

“Many of the sayings from the Colonization Party, such as having the army sweep through the Other World might sound a little conceited and as if they’re trying to make us adopt a war-like policy, but it’s because we’re forced to this. There are a lot of resources out there. If we don’t go out to s.n.a.t.c.h them but keep tens of millions of people squashed in one city, we’ll just end up suffocating ourselves.”
