Chapter 369: 339 Xuan Ming Island Eleven

Xuan Ming Island.

Blood-red vortexes, akin to circular discs of varying sizes, stood tall across the entire vast island.

The island itself resembled a giant hand reaching towards the sky, with a variety of buildings covering the palm.

Among the buildings, different-sized blood-colored vortexes were spread throughout.

At the moment, next to the largest blood-red vortex, a squad of Juggernauts in purple armor with black edges, accompanied Barton and his group who had just arrived, for a tour around the place.

As elite members of the Moral Ethics Committee, Barton, Angeal, and Karan were entirely different in their upbringing compared to Yang Chengxi, the pirate leader.

If one considered combat capabilities, Yang Chengxi would certainly trounce them.

But in terms of comprehensive knowledge, the three could utterly crush Yang.

It was precisely for this reason that everything the trio was hearing now left them visibly shaken, completely overturning their former worldviews.

"Our current location is near the upper layer of the mantle," the lead female Juggernaut announced through a voice changer.

"You must have studied the Earth-Moon structure which consists of the basic crust, mantle, core. The mantle is also divided into the upper and lower mantle, with the entire mantle’s thickness nearing 2900 kilometers. In its midst, due to the splitting of a large number of radioactive materials, massive amounts of thermal energy are produced, making this place almost entirely magma," the Juggernaut woman explained.

"And the Blind Spot we’re about to see is a naturally formed one here, possessing an extremely terrifying threat level—an Infinite Blind Spot."

"Infinite Blind Spot?" Barton gazed at the towering hundred-meter-tall vortex before him, momentarily lost in thought.

The entire vortex resembled a massive fog, swirling and condensing, fixed in one spot, continually rotating.

From the outer layer to the inner layer, the colors transitioned from pale red to bright red, to deep red, and finally to the innermost dark red.

With each layer inward, it grew darker.

"Actually, the United Front, the predecessor of our Star Lake, once speculated that since White Star was controlled by mechanical alien life, and since Blind Spots strictly prohibit mechanical intelligence, we wondered if we could use Blind Spots to completely destroy these behind-the-scenes alien mechanical lives?" the Juggernaut woman said.

"Is that feasible?" asked Barton.

"Perhaps it is," the Juggernaut woman replied, "but our predecessors from the United Front failed."

"Why?"

"Because we discovered that within the high-risk Blind Spots, the creatures there posed a far greater threat to our carbon-based life than mechanical life," the woman sighed.

"After all that’s been said, all these things you’re claiming seem like unfounded assertions. How do you prove the existence of these so-called aliens controlling everything behind White Star?" Angeal asked in a deep voice.

Heretical cults often use such tactics to delude people, so he did not believe what the other party said.

"Quite simple," the Juggernaut woman smiled slightly.

"Do you know why White Star can suppress Earth-Moon?"

"Because of the two legions? The Order Iron Guard and Dragon Realm?" Angeal responded.

"That’s right," the woman nodded.

"The Order Iron Guard’s conventional military strength is nineteen million. The Dragon Realm’s Reinforced Human Legion’s strength is thirty million. Yet the mineral resources on White Star are less than a thirtieth of Earth-Moon’s. Their military capabilities are several times more than all the nations of Earth-Moon combined.

Do you think, an insignificant White Star, where would all those resources and energy come from?"

"Isn’t it said... it comes from stellar and nuclear energy? Resources come from mining space junk, satellites, and the like...?" Barton frowned.

"All the minerals on the surrounding asteroids have long been thoroughly surveyed. Have you looked at the data?" the Juggernaut woman laughed.

"Even if the resources from those asteroids were fully mined, it wouldn’t be enough for the Reinforced Human Warship update turnover that White Star conducts every few years."

"Nearly fifty million Reinforced Humans, all using Strengthened Alloy... Such military strength, can an insignificant White Star sustain it for so many years? Do you think that’s normal?"

This statement was something that any normal person with a sense of reason and logic could perceive as abnormal.

So, Barton and Angeal stopped talking.

"From the establishment of a separate nation by the Empress of White Star to its expansion and the first defeat of the Yi Country’s expeditionary force by Earth-Moon—in just four years. In the time it takes for some to not even finish college, she was already able to repel Yi Country’s million-strong army. This is reality, not myth or legend."

The Juggernaut woman sighed.

"Ah well... never mind, you will have plenty of time to experience this in the future. I’m telling you all this because among you there’s someone with a constitution that fits our new gene engineering transformation conditions very well. Perhaps, in the future, we’ll gain another true comrade committed to our cause."

Upon hearing this, Barton and the rest felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, knowing that the other party would never let them leave.

"Next, I will show you the truth of our world."

She said this and took the lead towards the massive blood-red vortex.

With one step forward, she vanished completely into it, disappearing from sight.

Barton and the others looked at each other. Under the threat of the guns behind them, they had no choice but to step forward into the vortex.

After a whirl of humming noise.

When their vision cleared from a blur, they were astonished to find themselves standing in a cylindrical blood-red passage.

The passage stretched forward for hundreds of meters, leading to another huge blood-red vortex.

Beneath that vortex, squads of towering figures dressed in purple Armor, wielding various weapons and firearms, proceeded cautiously forward, aided by a variety of differently shaped heavy fortress vehicles.
