Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1145 Living towards death
"Is it possible to awaken spiritual power by fighting demons and monsters?"

In the conference room, a heavy and solemn atmosphere hung on the faces of every important figure.

This question not only touches on their desire for unknown power, but also touches on their instinctive pursuit of survival and power deep in their hearts.

The bigwigs sat around a long table, which was covered with various research reports and data analysis charts.

These reports come from fighters who are willing to cooperate with scientific research experiments. Their experiences and data have become the key basis for researchers' speculations.

The chief scientist of the scientific research team, a middle-aged man with a serious face and sharp eyes, is showing their research results through a projector.

"Our hypothesis is based on the actual combat experience of multiple fighters, combined with the records of the Busujima family. This is by no means accidental. We speculate that the awakening of spiritual power is related to certain specific stimulation conditions."

"The conclusion is that direct conflict with demons and monsters, especially battles conducted with cold weapons or hand-to-hand combat, may stimulate individual potential and promote the awakening of spiritual power."

As for the Busujima family, there is naturally no need to say much. The head of the family's daughter relies on the god on earth, and a lot of information can be obtained just from profiling their behavior.

However, not everyone is optimistic about this conclusion.

A general wearing a gorgeous military uniform with bright stars on his shoulder straps frowned and questioned, "But hasn't our army fought against demons and monsters many times? Why hasn't anyone awakened their spiritual power? And those international mercenaries, the elite among them also have experience fighting monsters, why haven't they awakened their spiritual power?"

The researcher nodded, indicating that he understood the other party's doubts.

He continued, "We have indeed conducted in-depth research on this point. Referring to the situation of the Busujima family and these fighters and martial artists, we speculate that it is very likely that the use of thermal weapons will not be effective. Although the long-range attacks of thermal weapons can destroy demons and monsters, they cannot give the combatants enough stimulation and cannot trigger the conditions for spiritual power awakening."

"Spiritual awakening seems to be more inclined to a primitive, instinctive combat response, which requires direct physical contact between the individual and the enemy, through cold weapons or hand-to-hand combat to stimulate potential."

He went on to add: "In addition, we have also noticed that many martial artists and martial artists, although they did not use cold weapons in their battles with demons and monsters, but relied on bare-handed fighting, were also able to awaken spiritual power. This shows that the key lies in the intensity of the battle and the individual's instinctive desire for survival, rather than the choice of weapons. This extreme challenge on the brink of life and death seems to be able to awaken the unknown power deep in the human heart."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

The bigwigs looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment and anxiety.

Their fear of death, extravagance, and comfortable life have long kept them away from the battle between life and death.

If the awakening of spiritual power really requires such a price, then how could they, these high-ranking figures who enjoy power and wealth, easily face such a challenge?
"This, this kind of thing is too crazy!"

A fat businessman with a flabby face said in a trembling voice.

There was fear and reluctance in his eyes.

In this world full of unknowns and dangers, possessing spiritual power means having power beyond ordinary people, and also means occupying a more advantageous position in the game of power. The chief scientist of the scientific research team understands the worries and concerns of these bigwigs, but he knows better that the road of scientific exploration has never been smooth sailing.

He said calmly: "This is a very real speculation. Although it sounds unbelievable, the data does not lie. We have invested a large number of troops, including international mercenaries, and fought countless battles with demons and monsters. The number of casualties has exceeded 100,000. However, behind this huge number, no one has awakened spiritual power."

"This is enough to prove that thermal weapons really have no effect on the issue of spiritual power awakening."

On the big screen, bloody photos flashed by, which were the cruel marks left by the war.

However, in these photos, there is no figure of a spiritually awakened person.

He paused and continued, "On the other hand, the number of the Dushima family and those fighting artists and martial artists is far less than the number of our troops, but many of them have awakened their spiritual power at the critical moment of life and death, thus gaining strength beyond the paper level, and even reaching the wolf level, E level, and goblin level. These spiritual awakeners are no longer afraid of ordinary firearms, and their physical strength breaks the limit of the human body, becoming true 'superhumans'!"

Wolf level, E level, goblin level, these level divisions are full of temptations for everyone present.

They represent a power that transcends human limits and a capital that enables them to gain a foothold in this chaotic world.

Data is objective, it does not lie, and does not require any control variable method to verify.

Because, in the battle between life and death, those who can awaken their spiritual power have proved their uniqueness with practical actions.

Silence fell again in the meeting room.

The bigwigs were each lost in thought, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.

Some people are weighing the pros and cons, considering whether it is worth taking the risk; some are reminiscing about the heroic days of their youth, wondering if there is still a chance to regain the lost courage and strength; others have already begun secretly planning, looking for a way to allow themselves a chance to awaken their spiritual power without taking too much risk.

However, no matter how they struggle and make choices in their hearts, an undeniable fact has been placed before them: in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only those who dare to face the challenges of life and death can become truly strong.

The awakening of spiritual power may be the last test on this road.

The researcher continued, "This is indeed crazy. However, we cannot deny that this is a fact. The awakening of spiritual power is indeed closely related to the battle between life and death. The reason why the Busujima family and these fighting artists and martial artists were able to awaken their spiritual power is because they dared to face life and death and dared to fight to the death with demons and monsters."

The big shots vaguely feel that the upcoming great changes in the world may very likely overturn their lofty status!

Because they can never awaken their spiritual powers and can never become true "superhumans".
