The resistance on the seven puppets’ faces turned into mockery at the same time.

However, it was unclear whether they were mocking Lu Siya or Yun Feidian himself, who hid behind them and thought that he could control everything but could not even control his own fate.

“Are you kidding?”

The seven puppets gritted their teeth and said, “How can we turn back now? Do you have a way to make all the citizens of Dragon City lose their memories and forget everything that has happened inside and outside Dragon City in the past month?”

“Of course, I don’t have a way to alter their memories. You’ve made such a huge mistake so you can’t stay in Dragon City any longer.”

Lu Siya sighed and said, “Fortunately, the Other World is deeper and more vast than we can ever imagine. Since nothing like drones or artificial satellites have appeared above our heads in the past half a century, it shows that even if an alien civilization does exist, it probably didn’t develop past the Industrial Revolution and succeeded in space exploration.

“In that case, the Earthlings’ intelligence is a strategic tool that can change the Other World’s indigenous civilization.

“As long as an ordinary Earthling knows how to use his brain well, once he sneaks into the Other World’s indigenous civilization, he’ll be able to control an enormous amount of power. You, Yun Feidian, have the ability to move mountains and overturn seas among the tens of millions of transmigrators from Earth.

“So, that’s your suggestion?”

The ridicule on the seven puppets’ faces became increasingly intense. They stared at Lu Siya without blinking. “My plan is about to succeed, but you suggest that I abandon everything and flee from Dragon City to the depths of the Other World like a stray dog?”

“Since you’ve crossed the line, I’ll never join hands with you, an unpardonable piece of scum, in any way. Therefore, I won’t give you any advice,” Lu Siya said calmly.

“However, if I were you, I would definitely choose to give up everything and seize every second to escape Dragon City because your plan will never succeed.

“The moment you think that victory is coming, your scheme will fall to pieces, and your reputation will be ruined.

“Trust me. You won’t stand a chance this time.”

The seven puppets remained silent for a long time.

“It’s too late.”

Half a minute later, just as Meng Chao thought that Yun Feidian was going to run away, the puppets opened their mouths again and softly said, “The dice have been rolled. No matter what you say, it’s too late!”

The seven puppets staggered and walked toward Lu Siya.

“Yun Feidian!”

Lu Siya raised her voice. “Wake up. Killing me won’t do you any good. Even if you’re the master of Thundercloud Technology, the second-generation pillar of the nine mega corporations, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility of killing me!

“If you do this, the nine mega corporations and Azure Alliance will completely break off or even go to war. You’ll destroy the entire Dragon City!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you so easily, of course.”

The seven puppets let out a shrill laugh. “Killing you would be the most foolish thing to do. It will only further expand your influence and turn you into a legendary martyr like Meng Chao.”.

“No, I’m not going to kill you. I just want you to… ‘be reborn and become a new person.'”

“What are you trying to do?”

Lu Siya’s voice, which had been extremely steady the whole time, finally fluctuated. “What the hell is that thing?!”

From Meng Chao’s point of view, it seemed that Yun Feidian was controlling the seven puppets to bring out something that even Lu Siya feared.

Meng Chao also sensed that the seven puppets below had seemingly opened some sealed facility and taken out a liquid substance that contained an enormous amount of active energy.

“Could this be… the Deification Capsule?”

When the seven puppets swayed and came before Lu Siya, she also sensed the extremely violent active energy contained within the capsule. She cried out, “Yun Feidian, what are you trying to pull here?!”

“A Deification Capsule? Are you saying, this is the one that the monster civilization developed and can make ordinary people instantly become dozens of times stronger, or even awaken their extraordinary powers? No, no, no, this isn’t a Deification Capsule. It’s far more than that.”

Yun Feidian laughed in a low voice via the seven puppets. “Although the Deification Capsule can temporarily allow ordinary people to obtain extraordinary powers and enable them to fight against 100 people at once, it has a pretty obvious flaw—excessive burning of cells will overload the mitochondria. The extraordinary powers that are gained at the cost of overdrawing one’s life can only be maintained for a few minutes, or at most, a few hours.

“After that, an ordinary human that has been burned to ashes will become a dried corpse with all the moisture in its body evaporated. The corpse will even turn into ashes due to spontaneous combustion.

“Even by the standards of a biological weapon, something that can only be used for an average of twenty to thirty minutes is too terrible.

“There’s no other way. What makes up the monster civilization is only a group of wild beasts that feed on raw meat and blood. Even if they have an intelligent existence like the monster mastermind, they lack an industrial foundation and scientific research conditions. As such, they are unable to fully explore the mysteries of cells and even genes.

“However, the Deification Capsule is a step on the right track. Be it humans or monsters, carbon-based life forms like us are an army made up of countless cells and genes. Our every cell and gene chain contains endless power that is comparable to nuclear energy. Whoever can excavate and stabilize this power will be able to break through the limits of life and redefine ‘beasts’, ‘humans’, and ‘gods.’

“Don’t look at me like that. The nine mega corporations, the Azure Alliance, Dragon City University, the alliance of the five universities, and even the Red Dragon Army are all conducting research on the monster civilization’s huge heritage.

“Besides the legitimate research on the surface, who isn’t conducting more extreme, radical, and dangerous research in the dark?

“Ever since our victory in the Monster War, the scientists of Thundercloud Technology have been trying to adjust the formula of the Deification Capsule and develop a new generation of capsules that are safer, controllable, and long-lasting. Most healthy ordinary people will be able to trigger ten times the speed, strength, reactions, and even superpowers in a short period of time without being dehydrated or even dying of spontaneous combustion after the instant release.

“Our idea is to mix high-energy substances such as crystal particles into the capsule and replace human cells with high-energy substances in order to achieve the effect of ‘instantaneous explosion.’

“Of course, it’s something that can be achieved overnight.

“We have suffered countless failures too.

“Up until now, we haven’t been able to develop an ideal capsule without any side effects or sequelae.

“However, by accident, we have developed an incredible… new product!”
