Chapter 512: Chapter 236: The Hedge Momentum

’Do not let this battle footage spread.’

Tai Chenggang’s voice still resonated in Meng Jin’s mind, a reminder he received two hours earlier when he reported to Tai Chenggang alone.

He had shown the Six Elders the footage of ’Xing Dian’ erupting in battle.

Even so, this would reveal Meng Jin’s current actual combat power, but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing...

’Meng Jin, Meng Jin?’

Meng Jin, momentarily distracted, immediately snapped out of his reverie and bowed apologetically to Tai Chenggang, who sat at the head of the conference table.

’I’m sorry, Elder Tai, I’m not feeling well and got a bit distracted.’

’Hmm,’ Tai Chenggang nodded. ’You’ve worked hard this time. It’s not your fault that we didn’t recover the No. 5 Stone Plate, so don’t be too hard on yourself.’

’Thank you for your understanding,’ Meng Jin replied composedly.

Tai Chenggang continued to preside over the meeting:

’You should have a basic understanding of the current situation by now. Fu Jian’s intentions to strike against us are becoming more and more apparent.’

’You might have previously thought that Fu Jian was at a disadvantage, that we were continuously eroding the military and political power of the various Combined Combat Zones, already nearing de facto rule over half of the human world, so we were in a position of strength.’

’In fact, the opposite is true.’

’Fu Jian has shown two of his three trump cards: the autonomous Mechanical Body swarm, the Half-human Mecha overload mode, and the third is his invisible influence over the major combat zones.’

’Now, with the technological support of Black Storm, Fu Jian has weapons that can autonomously utilize Spiritual Energy, employing combined tactics that harness Spiritual Energy, as well as something we’ve just heard rumors about without confirmation, a medicine that can restore the brains of old Half-human Mechas to health.’

’The winter of Spiritual Energy City has arrived, and this is no joke.’

’We must strike proactively, and the assault must be powerful enough not to give Fu Jian time to fully prepare.’

The middle-aged men and women present fell silent in unison.

Someone said, ’Elder Tai, have we really always been at a disadvantage?’

’It’s relative. You may not realize where the true advantage of us High-level Spiritual Ability Users lies.’

Tai Chenggang didn’t like to beat around the bush and went on to answer his own question in a measured tone:

’It’s lifespan.’

’The reason why we were strong before was that Fu Jian was approaching his end. We all know he wants to detonate the nuclear bomb here before he dies, taking all six of us with him.’

’But what happens after the nuclear explosion inside the Silent Ball?’

’Over the past few decades, we have relocated a large number of living forces from around the Silent Ball to various regions, set up extensive defensive works both inside and outside the Silent Ball, and the six of us also have some means to deal with nuclear bombs.’

’When the nuclear explosion occurs, even if the six of us can’t escape and die, there will still be SS Level Spiritual Ability Users who will stand up, and there will still be many S Level Spiritual Ability Users in the major combat zones. It’s no empty talk that the remnants of D5’s upper echelons will be eradicated, and the human world will still regard Spiritual Ability City as its capital... This is our momentum! The strength of ordinary humans can’t be compared to that of Spiritual Ability Users!’

’Therefore, in essence, the major combat zones are swaying. They must consider the future, the future without Fu Jian... Even Fu Jian himself has to ponder over this matter. He had previously shown signs of softening, wanting to preserve the seeds of humanity.’

’Now, Fu Jian has gained more lifespan.’

’The attitudes of the major combat zones have become ambiguous.’

Someone asked, ’Could it be possible that this is false information deliberately released by Fu Jian?’

’No, Tai Chenggang replied. ’We have reliable sources. Besides the Commanders of the D2 and D3 Combined Combat Zones, other zones have old generals regaining health, at least living an extra decade or more.’

’This?’

’Is it true?’

’How did they do it? Without infusion experiments, how is it possible to enhance themselves with Spiritual Energy? Even if they use Spiritual Energy to enhance themselves, it could cause a short life rather than extend it.’

Meng Jin asked, ’Could this also be the work of Black Storm?’

’Given the current evidence, it’s likely, but we still can’t rule out the possibility that some Spirit Cultivator has given them some new technology we’re not aware of. The civilization of Spirit Cultivators is too powerful.’

Tai Chenggang slowly nodded:

’Compared to nuclear bombs, it’s the change in the political ecosystem that’s the real threat.’

’The ecology that persisted for the past fifty years has been disrupted, so we must eradicate Black Storm as soon as possible!’

’Only by ensuring the monopoly of Spiritual Energy and the guiding role of Spiritual Ability Users in human society, can we continue the glory of the Spiritual Energy City!’

’I know you all have your own little schemes. Once we move away from the Silent Ball, ambition can slowly grow, just like Xing Dian. I thought he had turned over a new leaf, but it turns out he’s still an ungrateful wretch, and we have wasted a precious S-class material on him.’

Meng Jin bowed his head in thought and said in a deep voice, ’Then why not try to acquire the technology of Black Storm?’

Tai Chenggang countered, ’Do you think Fu Jian will let go of the current opportunity and allow us to become stronger?’

’Of course not, but Fu Jian and Black Storm are two separate entities.’

Meng Jin said quickly:

’As long as they are two entities, there will be discrepancies in their demands.’

’Moreover, our situation is not as bad as it seems. Right now, the biggest trouble for D5 is not us, but the Blade Beast Group surrounding them.’

’Previously, their scattered attacks on various fronts indeed achieved some victories, which were very heartening and increased the combat zones’ confidence in Fu Jian. But it also enraged the Blade Beasts, who will inevitably gather strength to retaliate against D5.’
