Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path
Chapter 431 - 383: Theology Science, Alternate Space

Chapter 431: Chapter 383: Theology Science, Alternate Space

A tremendous air pressure rushed towards his face.

The Angel Armament’s silver wings spread like wheels, and its electronic eyes flashed with golden light, sapping the will to fight from anyone who looked upon it.

The great sword cleaved through the air, and in an instant, it traveled over tens of meters, nearly reaching him.

"Go..."

Jacob’s face was stricken with terror.

He scrambled up, covered in dust, and pointed a hand.

From within the collapsing house and rising dust, twelve trails of smoke shot into the sky.

Two of them aimed straight for the incoming Angel Armament.

The remaining ten shadows swept through like the wind, barraging into the ranks of the fully armored soldiers.

"Woo..."

A shriek resonated in the ears of all present.

Dozens of robust soldiers, who had just raised their guns to aim, fell in droves in the front rows.

The Angel Armament’s body also staggered, seemingly losing control, and tumbled towards the ground at an angle.

"Seeking death..."

"Kill him!"

Harris finally realized the error in his command to capture alive; as a result, everyone was reluctant to fire their guns, and those twelve shadows were especially fierce, even affecting the half-biological, half-mechanical Angel Armament.

This mode of attack disregarded the armor entirely, targeting only the strength of the spirit.

"Divine Holy Light!"

Hades leaped forward like a tiger, his great sword moving, creating a platinum arc of sword wind and energy that cut a semi-circle barrier, preventing the dozen trails of smoke from advancing even an inch.

Thompson, who had been watching coldly, pointed his modest wooden staff forward, and an invisible corridor appeared thirty meters ahead. A ripple that had materialized into an arrow shot forth and pierced Jacob’s forehead with a whoosh.

"Snap..."

Jacob’s face still showed undissipated shock when his head suddenly swelled, turned black, and exploded like a grenade.

Blood sprayed in all directions.

The headless body swayed and then crashed down with a thud.

The twelve semi-transparent shadows, wailing and howling, were drawn by an invisible force, slowly shrinking into a thin column of smoke and returning into Jacob’s embrace.

"What is this thing that doesn’t fear Divine Holy Light?"

Harris sheathed his great sword and strode forward, his face filled with anguish.

He wouldn’t feel any pain for the multitude of Eternal Private Army soldiers lurking in Dongjiang, disguised as members of the Hunting Group, no matter how many perished.

But the loss of the Angel Armament was significant; it had always been his reliable right-hand, with combat strength nearly rivaling that of an S-rank master.

Yet now, it had been incapacitated before it could even strike.

Not even the special metal could fend off the invasion of that black qi.

"No need to look. It was a Mental Aspect attack. The body hasn’t been harmed by the transformation, but the soul fluctuations have completely ceased. The organic tissues have already rotted away."

Thompson also harbored a trace of wariness in his eyes.

"Fortunately, Jacob had no self-defense abilities himself, only knowing how to deliver Stationary Output, incapable even of dodging."

He’d attempted to take control of a wisp of shadow only to feel an extremely vicious, savage, bloodthirsty impulse erupt within his spirit, almost tainting his core.

Feeling something was amiss, he quickly changed his attack mode to a wave of Mental Aspect arrows, killing Jacob instantly.

Sure enough, once control was lost, those ghostly entities retreated.

"It’s indeed a fragment of a mirror. This thing is mighty, the nature of the power seems amiss, almost as if it isn’t of the Dark Attribute, could it be..."

Carefully searching Jacob’s embrace, he found an irregular mirror surface the size of a chicken egg, silver and white. Looking at it showed his own bearded face, but for some reason, Thompson felt a chill in his heart as if he had glimpsed into the depths of Hell.

He promptly used all his might to avert his eyes, tore a piece of cloth from Jacob’s body, delicately wrapped it up, and kept it close to his body.

He ordered his subordinates to clean up the traces and bury the body.

They also buried the incapacitated Angel Armament into the sandy soil.

Quickly, the site of the civilian house was disguised as ruins ravaged by a violent wind.

Such ruins were common along the coast.

As populations moved, many vacant cottages became dens for small animals or mutated Ferocious Beasts, and would generally go unchecked.

"All operations within Dongjiang are to be halted, and personnel are to remain silent. Harris, we might have a great achievement on our hands. If I’m not sensing it wrong, this object could very well be of the same class as that Golden Branch."

"You mean, Eden, which is in a Different Dimension."

In recent years, the Sky Hawk Alliance had advanced to the forefront of the world in terms of personal combat power, even achieving significant breakthroughs in genetic fusion, which were closely related to their relentless digging up of ancient ruins and searching for legendary items from ancient lore.

Some things seemed unremarkable.

But in reality, with some seemingly preposterous rituals, they could provoke strange reactions.

This is utterly beyond modern scientific explanation.

However, although the Sky Hawk Alliance is the most technologically advanced nation,

they do not regard science as supreme. Most of their upper echelons, in fact, rather believe in gods.

Regarding all sorts of bizarre phenomena that cannot be explained, they could not only accept them well but also allocated funds to increase the intensity of experimentation.

Then, they concocted things like Angel Armament and Divine Holy Light.

Moreover, they delved deeply into the research of belief power and glimpsed a monumental secret.

Thompson’s old face trembled with both concern and excitement, "Yes, it’s a different dimension, oh God, this is actually true.

When Father Sandle initially shared his speculations with the headquarters, everyone thought he was letting his imagination run wild, speaking nonsense...

If we had confirmed it earlier, we wouldn’t have missed out on the other treasures of General Wenshan’s Tomb."

He had guessed by now.

Why, in Dongjiang City, that seemingly ordinary Police Security officer could rise miraculously fast and become an invincible "monster" in such a short time.

If it involved a different dimension, everything could be explained.

"You must know, within Zhuxia’s myths and legends, there are countless immortals and deities.

In this land, there are some ’Celestial Cave Dwellings’ and ’Blessed Lands’ hidden. Just finding one could change the world."

"Let’s go, let’s go, don’t dawdle, detour to the Yuanxi City dock to set out to sea, no, contact Mr. Brown, have him arrange for someone to meet us, don’t let that bald guy get the news."

The Eternal Life Group was originally just a small family business, but because of a single branch, it triggered amalgamation and competition from many sides.

In the end, it was jointly controlled by seven big consortia, jointly developed, and became a huge entity.

The interests of each family were not consistent, each had their own schemes, and of course, their own demands.

Generally, it was still divided between the Theology Faction and the Biotech Faction.

Director Brown was naturally the representative of the Theology Faction.

A small tomb in a small city like Dongjiang, the cultural relics unearthed, frankly, to the Biotech Faction, were just trivial matters.

Especially since the involved parties, Dong Qingshan and Zhou Ping’an, had not displayed abilities beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Their power operation was almost the same as physical transformation, and of course, it would not make people associate it with high-end legends like "Celestial Cave Dwelling."

Some within their ranks even believed that the news given by Chen Guangyuan from Taihe Pharmaceuticals was an obscure hoax and not genuine.

That’s the way it is with big organizations; all sorts of opinions emerge.

Because of the predominant attitude of disdain, Eternal Life Group’s reaction speed was a bit slow.

However, people like Brown from the Theology Faction still maintained a certain sensitivity to the news from Zhuxia.

Whether they believed it or not was one thing, but first sending a few experts to investigate would clear things up.

That’s precisely why Thompson, Harris, and others appeared in Dongjiang.

"We can’t handle this thing with our strength.

You also saw earlier, just a few ghosts, and you struggled greatly to deal with them.

Leave this to those above us to handle; once there’s a breakthrough, we’ll definitely not be shortchanged on the rewards."

Seeing Harris’ hesitant expression, Thompson knew his colleague’s greed was clouding his judgment and earnestly cautioned, "Don’t think I’m just talking frivolously.

Just look at Jacob’s situation to understand—he’s had that mirror for a while now, and hasn’t reaped any benefits.

I heard that the thirteen ghosts were already there when they escaped from the General’s Tomb, huh... earlier, we only saw twelve shadows..."

Speaking to this point, Thompson’s mind was struck by a flash of doubt, but he promptly stopped dwelling on it and continued, "At headquarters, they have extremely advanced equipment and various supportive methods. If we can open the gateway to a different dimension and really get the benefits, we can apply for entry; we have priority."

"Exactly," Harris agreed with a nod.

The slight notions in his mind finally dissipated.

Thompson let out a long sigh of relief.

He thought that if there was an internal conflict here in Dongjiang, they would be completely finished.

Not to mention who would win or lose in a confrontation between them, the commotion from fighting might attract the attention of Dongjiang Official Government. He feared that the young man residing in Dongjiang would relentlessly pursue them for a thousand li.

If such a situation arose, let alone sending the treasures back to the Eternal headquarters, whether he and his colleague could even survive was an uncertain mess.

Thinking of Ruan Yucheng, the old man, being blown apart by a single punch.

The two of them lost all thoughts of dissent.

Quickly.

The two men dispersed their subordinates and sprinted along the coastline for thirty li, before plunging into the dense forest.

Here, there was a small path that led directly past Dongjiang, to Yuanxi City.

...

About the things happening beyond Dongjiang City, a hundred li from the coast.

Zhou Ping’an was totally unaware.

He was just a small Police Security officer.

His mind was still focused on his own little patch of land.

What he wanted to protect was his family and friends nearby. What he cared about most was the enhancement of his own power.

Compared to the rapidly increasing strength, all possessions didn’t seem that important.

He had only been absorbing the "Star Force Pearl" energy and practicing for less than half an hour when his right thumb’s eleventh bone was already close to completion of its cultivation. This speed was as if he were on an airplane, compared to before.

What’s more, unlike before, he could stop at any moment to do something else without having to maintain a tight grip on his mind and constantly sense the distant starlight.

The constant feeling of growing stronger every moment was truly intoxicating.
