Chapter 1387: Chapter 994, Kindness Bomb_2

"That bomb is really kind, putting people to sleep before killing them," Piao said off to the side.

Bella asked, "Is that how you understand kindness?"

"Of course, facing death is terrifying, it’s better to be asleep," Xiao Xiao replied seriously.

It sounded like he wasn’t joking, but genuinely believed that.

Glenda said, "If infrasound could be used alone, catching fugitives would be much easier. In crowded places, or where enemies have hostages, this kind of infrasound can be used."

Lady also nodded, "It should be possible. The technology in your world indeed has its unique aspects."

"I say, why bother putting it on drones? Such a hassle! I could just fly in with it, or use a skeleton bird," Piao once again opened his mind.

"That’s also a way. You can directly attach it to a skeleton," Glenda nodded.

"Right!" Xiao Xiao was happy to receive approval.

Wu Heng didn’t join in the conversation, casually browsing the phone forum.

Glenda leaned over and brought the topic to the furnace, "The Flame Furnace should be prioritized for equipping ships. Handling church matters everywhere won’t give much time to refuel ships between the two worlds, it wastes too much time."

Wu Heng looked at the flowing sea of clouds outside the window and nodded, "Kadrof has already sent Qi Hancai a copy of the blueprints. There will be shipbuilding and launch experiments. If the tests go well, the first batch will be used on Gold and Silver Island."

This world poses no threat to him anymore.

His Skeleton Army had reached a terrifying number, and their positions couldn’t be cleared by a few nuclear bombs.

Therefore, the real strategic priority is always the Otherworld with heroes and divine beings.

"Hmm," Glenda nodded.

A few ghosts gathered together and started talking about the puppets again.

The plane landed from Xinfu City, and after Wu Heng returned to prison, he opened the boundary door to the Otherworld.

...

Gold and Silver Island.

Stepping out of the boundary door, four ghosts drifted out from his body and each possessed a puppet.

Xiao Xiao pulled Bella downstairs to play games, while Glenda selected a book from the bookshelf and sat at the window seat. Lady sat at the desk, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and started preparing to continue writing her Cultivation Technique.

The nine tails of the puppet were not worn but placed in a storage cabinet behind.

Each ghost in the house has their own exclusive storage cabinet, filled with puppets and costumes, feeling like a display case for collectibles.

Wu Heng opened the door and shouted downstairs, "Mini!"

"Yes? What is it, Master?" Mini’s voice came from downstairs.

"Please invite the Retili representative from the Snake Badge Consortium over, and have them bring the commission order," Wu Heng said.

"Okay!" Mini replied affirmatively.

The door closed as Wu Heng sat down to one side of the desk, his gaze locking onto Lady, "How’s the writing going?"

They had been writing the skill for a few days, especially after the puppets were sent over, paying even more attention.

"Almost done," Lady replied without looking up, "You try practicing it first when it’s ready."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "Try it? That sounds like you’re not confident."

"If it feels unreliable, then don’t practice it!" Lady tapped the table with her ivory-like fingers.

"I will practice it, for sure," Wu Heng chuckled, "If there’s anything I don’t understand, isn’t there you to teach me?"

Lady gave him an eye-roll and picked the pen back up, suddenly asking softly, "Do you really think you can break through to become a hero?"

Wu Heng didn’t directly answer, instead asking, "In your era, did anyone break through?"

"No... or maybe, but I don’t know," Lady’s pen paused, "Back then, there was no association, continuous wars among races, and surviving was already hard enough."

"Then... do gods really exist?" Wu Heng pursued further.

Lady finally looked up at him, "Now you are afraid of the gods from The Holy Court?"

"I’ve always been quite worried," Wu Heng frankly admitted, "Do you think they will make a move on us?"

Now, with the ghosts bound to him, there wasn’t much to hide.

If anything happened to him, they too would disappear along with him.

"The Holy Court has lasted for millennia, they surely exist," Lady’s expression was serious, "Exist they do, but they’re not as omnipotent as boasted in their teachings. Otherwise, how could the association keep The Holy Court in check?"

Wu Heng nodded, this viewpoint aligned with his own thoughts.

Wu Heng pondered a bit and continued, "Could it be that the association has its own gods?"

Lady looked at him again, "Your question is interesting."

After thinking a bit, she said, "It’s simple to verify, gods aren’t philanthropists, they also need faith to be worshiped. Just see if the association has set up churches or found some way to collect faith."

"Apparently not. Those leaders have their Hero Hall, where heroes of their races are worshipped," Wu Heng answered directly.

Lady nodded, "I guess there are two possibilities..."

"First, gods can’t intervene directly, or the cost of intervention is huge. Since the association rose quickly, if it were to disappear, The Holy Court would pay a hefty price too."

"Second, while the association doesn’t have gods, it holds some means to threaten gods."

Wu Heng nodded, and not far away, Glenda also turned her head to glance.

Previously, Wu Heng and Glenda had also discussed this matter, similar to Lady’s thoughts.

The reason for asking again was to see if ancient professionals had any unique insights.

Wu Heng leaned forward, "Which one do you think is more reliable?"

"The first one!" Lady’s eyes shone, "If my analysis is correct, you could also deduce The Holy Court’s strength and where their bottom line is. If The Holy Court is willing to let the association govern, it means they can’t suppress the heroes of the association, or even if they could, it would end in mutual destruction."

Wu Heng nodded, leaning back on his chair.

And Lady took up her pen again and continued writing.

The room suddenly descended into silence.

The breeze outside lifted the drapes slightly, while Wu Heng was still sitting on the chair, pondering Lady’s words.

The possibility of the association revering gods was low, and when chatting with Lilith, she had also said that counting himself, there were enough for the next round of ruling hero rotation.

This means there are nine heroes in the association, including the Religious Leader.

Suppressing the association would indeed be difficult for The Holy Court.

Additionally, the current association’s power is too great, acting as a world police force, with followers coming from various races, making it impossible for The Holy Court to break with them.

As of now, he is a hero, along with Corn Sword Saint No. 1, No. 2, and Count Pizza, four in total who can kill heroes.

There are also quite a few Level 20s, not too far off either.

As Wu Heng was calculating in his heart, the door was knocked, and Mini’s voice came through, "Master! Miss Redi Li is here."

"I’m coming down," Wu Heng got up, not disturbing the two ghosts, and walked out the door.

...

First-floor living room.

As Wu Heng descended the stairs, Retili was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Today she was wearing a fiery red long dress, making her skin look as white as snow. Upon seeing his arrival, she immediately stood up and greeted him, the skirt blooming like a rose.

"Leader."

"No need for formalities," Wu Heng sat opposite her.

Retili sat down again and proactively reported, "The letter has been sent, and a reply is expected within five days."

"Okay, inform me immediately once there’s news." Wu Heng took out a stack of documents from the Space Ring, quickly flipped through them, and handed them to her, "This is the Flame Furnace customization order, requiring professional Array Pattern Masters from the Snake Badge Consortium to complete."

Although Gold and Silver Island has a few Skeleton Array Masters, they mainly handle daily maintenance work.

This kind of custom work needs to be entrusted to a more professional team.

"Understood," Retili took the documents, skillfully filling out the commission order.

As she lowered her head, a strand of golden hair fell onto the paper and was gently tucked behind her pointed ear.

"Try to speed up the process," Wu Heng added.

"No problem," she replied without looking up, her pen scratching the paper briskly.

After completing the last item, Retili took the Emblem Wu Heng handed over and stamped it on the commission order.

The commission was complete, and the two continued chatting about the affairs on Gold and Silver Island.

Then, Annette also returned from outside, and they exchanged greetings.

Wu Heng glanced at the dimming sky outside and seeing she had no intention to leave, said, "If there’s nothing else, stay for dinner."

Retili’s eyes immediately turned into crescent moons, "Then I’ll be imposing on you, sir."
