Chapter 1906 - 988: Clues
In the northern wilderness of Qing’s Family, the Storm Fortress hovers like a black island amidst the sea of clouds.
Under the moonlight, the white clouds flow beside the ’island’, like waves crashing against rocks.
The tall figure of the Duke of Storm City stands silently at the edge of the top deck of the Aerial Fortress, quietly observing below.
The garrison troops have transformed a new batch of Werewolf Gene Soldiers, incorporating them into the Beast Army.
This new batch of Beast Soldiers quickly found the strongest Orcs warrior in the tribe, issuing a provocative roar.
The Beast Army’s behavior is no different from a wolf pack; the new wolves forcibly joining the tribe must challenge the Wolf King, win or lose.
The Wolf King, towering over three meters with scars all over, has faced countless rounds of challenges, as every batch of Beast Soldiers seemingly brings forth challengers.
However, only after the Wolf King has conquered the newly joined Beast Soldiers can they be controlled by the Taboo Queen Ant.
At this moment, the strongest among the new Beast Soldiers arrives before the Wolf King, as all other Beast Soldiers crawl away, clearing space for the duel.
The challenger instinctively charges at the Wolf King, but no matter how hard it tries, all its attacks and claws are avoided with a prophetic foresight by the Wolf King.
It lunges to bite the Wolf King’s neck, but the Wolf King simply steps aside and catches the challenger’s arm with a single hand; a slight force of the hand then shatters the challenger’s arm.
Feeling unsatisfied, the Wolf King grabs the challenger’s other arm, ripping the challenger into two.
Roar!
The Wolf King roars at the Aerial Fortress in the sea of clouds, pounding its strong chest with its palm, resembling a true werewolf from movies, having long lost any human semblance.
Yet, a white worm on its spine stretches hundreds of antennae into its vertebrae, firmly locking its mind, keeping it always under control.
The wolf pack is special; its king changes with time, and once a new victor emerges, the Queen Ant must choose a new host, for the past one is no longer the king.
For caution’s sake, the old king even sacrificed a Drama Master, injecting him with A-Class Genetic Potion to ensure this controlled Drama Master Beast Soldier always emerges victorious.
This Wolf King not only towers over other Beast Soldiers but also inherently possesses the ability to foresee enemy tactics, making defeat impossible.
The Duke of Storm City ignores it, instead raising his head to look afar towards Jian Menguan.
In fact, he feels no sentiment towards the old king either; born into such a clan, emotions themselves are a useless thing.
The old king chose him to inherit everything, not because he was the most favored, but only he could continue the Drama Master clan in the new era.
Sometimes he imagines the Drama Master clan itself as a massive intelligent creature, and they as Drama Masters are merely cells, whose function is to ensure the survival of the organism named ’clan’. Whether the cell survives does not matter.
Who the cell is, also does not matter.
The Duke of Storm City has two fathers; the first raped his mother and left him ostracized within Storm City.
The second is his real father, who bore him only for the clan’s future.
He only felt human warmth from one person, in that dark room with Zero, where he learned many things and felt much warmth.
But all this no longer exists.
Having lost interest, the Duke of Storm City turns back into the fortress, sitting on the high command seat, coldly asking: "Has the satellite been destroyed?"
A Marquis responds: "Your Majesty, the missile has entered its designated trajectory and will precisely strike the Eastern Continent satellite chain. Expected to complete the strike in 11 minutes and 21 seconds, but... our satellite might also be destroyed."
In modern total warfare, satellites are the primary strategic targets.
Once the satellite is destroyed, communication reverts to the oldest radio era, leaving both sides blind.
The West Continent has long been prepared for this; their tactics were devised for this very moment.
The Duke of Storm City says coldly: "Continue advancing; we must reach the target combat location within 7 days, annihilating all enemy forces. On the frontline, War Machine Robots Cluster will break through the last defenses, allowing us to slaughter the enemies and seize the last powerhold of the Eastern Continent."
Before departure, the old king used the last glimmer of his life to initiate the final God’s perspective, marking seven days as the maximum duration of this lightning war; not a day late.
As if God created the world in seven days, so too will seven days mark the day of divine realization.
The Duke of Storm City leaves the command room, stopping briefly at a dark room where two war robots stand guard at the door, permitting no one but him to approach.
He remains silent for a moment, then continues walking forward, ultimately not entering that room.
Below the Aerial Fortress, Beast Soldiers crawl frenziedly, shaking the earth.
...
...
Underground in Central Royal City.
In the dim safe house, Qing Chen, Black Spider, and One held their breath waiting as time ticked away, finally hearing the slow sound of splashing water outside.
Thud, thud, thud, someone knocks on the safe house door: "I am Zero, open the door."
