Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 354 - 354 67 I've Become Weaker

354: Chapter 67: I’ve Become Weaker 354: Chapter 67: I’ve Become Weaker Zero Island, outside Weiyuan City.

The so-called giant city of Weiyuan was an urban cluster that expanded indefinitely from the former capital of Zero Island.

It was said that the capitalists of the Giant Union originally planned to expand it to cover half of Dahe Island in one fell swoop, but in the end, they reluctantly gave up due to the collapse of the real estate bubble at the end of the last century.

Plans could change with the whims of the big shots, but once buildings were constructed, they couldn’t be altered.

The abandoned buildings and half-finished constructions irregularly scattered around the outskirts of Weiyuan City were remnants of the once grand urban development plan.

To recoup costs, the big shots generously rented out this peripheral area, allowing residents to grow crops, raise livestock, and rent various types of obsolescent products from big corporations at steep prices.

This place was the first stop for all young people who came to Weiyuan City chasing their dreams, and it was also the last stop for most of them.

Over time, the satellite towns outside Weiyuan City developed a new style distinct from the main city: the lower floors of buildings showed the foundation of modular construction, and the newly built upper parts used scrap metal, bamboo, or wooden structures according to the preferences of the first generation of inhabitants; graffiti and impromptu calligraphy were everywhere, and deeper inside, there were designated zones for performance art; morning glories grew on dolls from the ’80s, and a repaired abandoned cyber pet—kitten model—was placed at the entrance of shops, competing with newly born puppies to see whose bark was more pleasant.

Gongsun Ce was wandering through the peripheral area under the night sky, feeling quite melancholic.

His emotions stemmed from the action plan his small group had just received, vaguely repeating “prepare for the worst” several times.

Based on his understanding of these people, “the worst” likely meant the direct descent of the Void Light Dragon.

“Mr.

Shiyu, can’t we just storm into Weiyuan City and take Shiyu Genmi’s life before the Huojin God descends?”

“First, you need to figure out how to break through Weiyuan City’s Four Holy Barriers.

The basic effects of this barrier are fixed-point detection, weakening enemy forces, and significantly enhancing our own forces.

Theoretically, even the power of a Creator Realm Mage would be considerably affected in the array.”

“I would draw my sword and cut it down.”

“Shiyu Genmi likely has a veteran Creator and his assistant by his side.

Can you maintain your combat strength for an extended period?”

“Damn.”

They pondered for a long time on the road but couldn’t come up with a way to bypass the Creation Realm and assassinate or kidnap Shiyu Genmi under extremely unfavorable conditions.

Thus, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to wait patiently for the progress of the “preliminary plan.” Anxiously, he bought a large bag of snacks and entered the temporary base of the foursome.

The so-called temporary base was an inconspicuous small building in the outer area, hidden in the shadow behind a chain fast-food restaurant.

The first floor was a reception hall, the second floor was a dormitory-style hotel prepared for workers, and above that was the rooftop.

Shiyu Lianyi and Rina were discussing at the table when Lianyi saw Gongsun Ce coming and waved with a smile, “Good news, the barrier has been dealt with.”

The superpower user immediately perked up, “How did you manage that?”

“We successfully turned the Ninja Army Leader, Zuiyan.

He is a master of destruction and also in charge of Weiyuan City’s defense.” Lianyi handed over a file, “He was originally a die-hard faction of the Martial Arts Association.

Thanks to the evidence you guys obtained and the exceptional performance of the staff, Plan A really worked this time.”

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and high-fived him to celebrate, “That’s great, the old man is over 70 years old, and I didn’t expect him to be so enlightened.

How did the Calamity God Festival go?”

He turned to look at his younger martial sister, whose face color mingled with the green potted plant beside her, making her a hopeful for the champion of the Little Ms.

Green Giant impersonation competition.

“It doesn’t look very promising.”

Rina said listlessly, “Grandmother said that the necessary condition for holding the Calamity God Festival is the participation of Zero Island’s actual ruler, the mandatory requirement for the host is a witch that has gathered a multitude of Zhi Pi Power, and the location is the summit of Ise Divine Peak…”

Without thinking, Gongsun Ce replied, “Then besides the time and place, isn’t everything else ready?

Sakura Dance probably gathered the Zhi Pi Power long ago, and the Martial Arts Association is the actual ruler of Zero Island.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Rina’s expression became even gloomier, “But, Little Ce, what you don’t know is that the so-called Calamity God Festival is actually—”

“A trade with the Void Light Dragon, right?”

The young man with gray hair elaborated as the little witch looked on in shock.

“Yidou Nengmai married a God, so Huojin God did not descend.

This can also be interpreted as a major trade between Yidou Nengmai and Huojin God, with herself as the price for peace and security on Zero Island.

The Calamity God Festival, which ensures national security, continued for thousands of years afterwards to ensure that monarch-level giant dragons stayed away from the island.” Gongsun Ce changed the subject, “But when things happen too often, accidents occur.

Was the Calamity God Festival in 1709 disrupted because a combined body of ninjas, samurais, and businessmen interfered with the ceremony, leading to the tragedy?”

Rina looked blankly at the young man in a suit across from her, and Shiyu Lianyi, unsurprised, remarked, “That’s how Gongsun is.

Typically, when he confirms something intentionally, it’s to gather evidence, which means he has already made basic deductions.”

The hooded witch sighed with her hand on her forehead, “Basically, you’re right, except the last guess is wrong.

In reality, the trouble was caused by that year’s priests and witches.

Dreaming of using Huojin God’s power for themselves, they did not, as usual, pray for Zero Island’s peace, but instead sought power from Huojin God…

and so Huojin God showed them his power.”
