Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 268 [268] A single hair affects the whole situation: Crimson Dragon Guard vs. Wang Ya

The leader was a girl with long, fiery red hair, stunningly beautiful with long eyelashes, but her expression was cold and indifferent. "Black Dragon, that person is definitely wearing a black robe, and his temperament is strange. He is extremely similar to the people in the video footage in the confidential documents."

"Your Majesty, I'm sure I remember this correctly. That person didn't have the Crimson Dragon, his whereabouts were erratic, and there was no information about him in the Crimson Dragon system." Captain Black Dragon said in a heavy tone, "I thought he was a super-powered criminal, so I used super-powered shackles to lock him up and brought him back to the Black Dragon Research Institute."

"Looking back now, the fact that they showed no fear or apprehension towards us when they appeared in the park in Zone 9 seems more like they were deliberately letting us capture them."

"You were too reckless. Why didn't you investigate and eliminate them beforehand and send them to the Black Dragon Research Institute? Dr. Black Dragon is a top researcher in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. If anything happens to him or the Level 5 superhuman, you will be held responsible."

The Red Princess gave Captain Black Dragon a cold look. The confidential document contained information about a recent world-shaking event.

The land of cherry blossoms was attacked by superhumans, resulting in the deaths of at least 300,000 people, and the city of Foothills almost disappeared from the world.

The satellite footage showed a group of figures dressed in retro robes fighting against another figure dressed in retro robes.

The two sides seemed to harbor hatred and, without any restraint, engaged in a fierce fight in the downtown area. Even the intervention of a Level 5 superhuman from the Land of Cherry Blossoms failed to bring the situation under control.

It has now turned into a three-way battle, and the scope of the battlefield's impact is about to extend beyond Yamashiro City, spreading towards other cities in the Land of Cherry Blossoms.

If left unchecked, the losses in the land of cherry blossoms could reach hundreds of billions.

The Red Princess estimated that the Earth Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Country would likely seek assistance from the White Eagle Crusader Federation, requesting a strategic space-based weapon strike.

After all, it's a very useful dog, and no matter what, Bald Eagle won't let it cause any major problems.

The Red Princess sneered inwardly.

"Unfamiliar Level 4 and Level 5 natural disasters—who are these people?"

The world is now focused on the group of superhumans dressed in retro robes, trying to uncover their identities and motives.

The occurrence of each Level 5 natural disaster will cause instability. The content of the agreement is only what the current Level 5 natural disasters abide by, and it is a mutually agreed-upon exchange of interests.

The new Level 5 natural disaster will change the current world situation. If a mutually beneficial agreement is signed with a major power that already possesses a Level 5 natural disaster, it will be an extremely bad thing for other major powers.

Even the Red Queen couldn't understand where these superhumans came from.

There are no superhumans in the Revolutionary Army wearing retro robes. They seem to have appeared out of nowhere, leaving no trace of their past.

If it were only the Cherry Blossom Country that encountered this, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, it would just be a group of unfamiliar Level 4 superhumans and a Level 5 natural disaster.

However, such superhumans have been found in both the Winter Alliance and the Bald Eagle Federation.

Their strength generally reached the level of a fourth-level superhuman, and some even unleashed superhuman power equivalent to a fifth-level natural disaster, which was simply unbelievable.

The methods they possess are not limited to one type; they are comprehensive, as if a large number of superhuman genes have converged in one person.

Therefore, many top researchers speculate that these superhumans, dressed in retro robes and with a special temperament, are all experimental products, and possess mature superhuman gene fusion technology, which can cultivate more special superhumans.

As for which force it comes from, how this force overcame the difficulties of superhuman gene technology, and what its purpose is, these are questions that all major powers are currently paying attention to, and are secretly mobilizing their forces to find out.

If other major powers find this unknown force first, acquire this technology, and mass-produce super-powered natural disasters, then they will possess absolute hegemonic power.

"The Black Dragon Research Institute's internal defenses are not weak, and because of the Level 5 superhumans, Dr. Black Dragon has locked all superhumans in solitary confinement and put them in superhuman shackles. So far, no superhuman has been able to break free from the shackles and suppression."

"The last time a researcher escaped, it was because there was an undercover agent within the organization who had been hiding for a long time. However, we caught him as quickly as possible, put him back in custody, and purged all problematic internal personnel."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the monitoring room will conduct one-on-one monitoring 24 hours a day to prevent any possible accidents and detect any abnormalities in advance."

In the brightly lit corridor, Captain Black Dragon tried his best to downplay his responsibilities. After seeing that everything was normal and there had been no changes, he felt relieved.

If something really goes wrong, he can't take the blame. There are too many implications. Whether it's Dr. Black Dragon's accident or that Level 5 superhuman's problem, his merits will turn into punishment, his chances of becoming a member of the Crimson Dragon Guard will be completely cut off, and he will have no future at all.

Captain Black Dragon passed through the mechanical gate of the surveillance area using his identity verification.

The armed guards immediately saluted and made way for them.

The security personnel in the monitoring room also stood up from their chairs and bowed in unison to show their respect to their superior.

Captain Black Dragon changed his attitude towards the Red Princess, his tone becoming extremely cold, "If any problems arise with the superhumans, you must report anything unusual that has occurred during the days you have been monitoring them."

"Reporting to the captain, nothing unusual has happened these days. The superhumans have been very quiet, except for the newly arrived superhumans who routinely try to escape their solitary confinement cells and shout."

"Who is the person in charge of monitoring the superhuman individuals whose files are listed as 'C9' experiments?"

Captain Black Dragon and the Crimson Dragon Guard members standing at the door all turned their gazes to the security personnel who stepped forward. The latter was covered in cold sweat and almost knelt down. An invisible aura was pressing down on him, not only because of the difference in their status and position, but also because of the absolute difference in their strength.

"The team leader, individual C9, has not shown any abnormalities. It has always been very quiet, neither making a sound nor causing any disturbance. It eats on time every day and puts its plate into the groove."

The security guard quickly explained the results of the surveillance footage from the past few days.

"Wait, you said that the C9 individual has been sitting in the monitoring room chair with his head down and eyes closed, without making any unusual movements, for several days now." The Red Princess interrupted the security personnel's trembling voice.

"Yes, sir, that's exactly what I've observed. The target individual's superpowered shackles are fine, but their behavior does indeed differ significantly from that of other superpowered individuals."

The Red Empress frowned, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said, "Open the door to the C9 confinement room, go in and check it out, and while you're at it, ask about that mysterious organization."

Captain Black Dragon glared at the security guard. "Hurry up and get going."

"Please follow me, esteemed gentlemen."

Click!

The heavy doors of the solitary confinement cell slowly opened, releasing wisps of white steam. The internal hydraulic system gave the metal doors exceptional braking power, making them extremely difficult to pry open or destroy. There were also multiple steel doors inside.

The white light illuminated the interior space, and the figure sitting in the chair had his hands flat on the white table, his head down, with only his face in shadow.

"As expected, they're robes of the same style, different designs, but the retro feel is unmistakable. This definitely belongs to a superhuman from the same faction."

The Red Princess stared at the figure in black robes, a hint of excitement appearing in her eyes.

Besides being the captain of the Crimson Dragon Guard, she has another identity.

The title "Red Princess" can only be used by a true princess.

Her father is His Majesty the Heavenly Khan of the Red Dragon Alliance Heavenly Kingdom.

If the Crimson Dragon Alliance Heavenly Kingdom were to master this technology of fusing thousands of super-powered genes and mass-produce Level 5 Calamity experts, the entire world situation would change, and the Crimson Dragon Alliance Heavenly Kingdom would dominate and lead everything.

The bald eagle, far across the ocean, can only fall from the sky.

In some respects, even a newly minted Level 5 superhuman cannot compare to the value of this black-robed figure.

On one hand, there is a technology that has not yet been developed. It requires researching the super-powered genes of Level 5 superhumans. Even after a lot of time and numerous experiments, the results may not be available, and there is a significant possibility of failure.

On the other hand, there is mature technology that integrates a large number of superhuman genes. Even if it can only mass-produce level four superhumans, it is still an absolutely strategic force.

Quantity can surpass quality; if there are enough of them, even the strongest natural disaster fighters will be defeated and crushed.

Seemingly sensing the sound of the door opening, the black-robed figure, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, slowly raised his head. The handsome face beneath his bangs startled the Red Princess. She glanced at the beauty mark beside his eye and realized that he was staring at her with those dark pupils.

The Crimson Princess slowly walked up to the figure in black robes, looking down at him. Her crimson armor radiated a scorching heat, raising the temperature inside the room by several degrees.

"Tell me your identity, the forces behind you, and all the information you know."

The figure in black robes smiled slightly and did not speak, but stared into the eyes with his black pupils, as if he saw more through them.

"You should know what I'm talking about. Right now, your companions are making a mess of the world, causing the deaths of countless ordinary people. The sins on your bodies cannot be washed away even by a thousand seas."

"If you reveal what you know, the super-powered shackles on your hands can be removed, and you can leave the solitary confinement cell and regain your long-lost freedom. We promise that we will not cause you any harm."

The figure in black robes did not answer the Red Princess's question, but muttered to himself, "So it has come to this. No wonder the world's malice has increased so quickly, multiplying several times in just half a month. We've been caught in the crossfire."

"My patience is limited. If you don't speak normally, I'll kill you."

The Red Empress frowned, and her aura filled the entire room as the temperature soared. The floor, made of a specially reinforced metal that was extremely hard, developed numerous cracks and footprint-like depressions.

The figure in black robes stood up from the chair. The members of the Crimson Dragon Guards all looked at him with murderous intent. If he made any unusual move, they would take action and kill him with all their might.

The video footage in the classified documents—the horrific battlefield, the extent of the impact, the number of deaths, and the arrogant disregard for life—all demonstrate that the superhumans in their retro robes are a bunch of lunatics, utterly devoid of humanity.

We must be extremely vigilant against such dangerous individuals.

"What a bunch of reckless guys. I thought they were all smart, but it seems I overestimated them."

The figure in black robes continued speaking in a language they couldn't understand, seemingly ignoring them and offering no response to their questions.

"A single hair can affect the whole body. The Limitless Wizard carries the attention of the wizarding world's will. As long as he enters the Deep Blue Secret Realm, the world's inherent malice will attach to him. As time goes by, or as the Limitless Wizard influences more people or things in the Secret Realm, the degree of malice attached will also increase."

"Just like a healthy body, when foreign bacteria or viruses enter, the body's macrophages and immune cells will be mobilized to eliminate these viruses. For the Deep Blue Secret Realm, the Limitless Wizard is the biggest virus that needs to be eradicated."

The figure in black robes sighed again, "Too fast. If I had more time, I could have researched more about the secrets of the power of rules, and even used these scattered pieces of rule power to trace back to the source and find the origin of everything."

"The chaos has begun. Any wizard who breaks through the limits and enters this world will be constantly attached to the world's malice. This process is irreversible and will gradually escalate to its peak."

[Current global level of malice: 33%]

"The plan needs to be changed. No, perhaps I still have some time. The plan should be accelerated. The current number of superhuman test subjects is sufficient. There are more than ten superhumans of any level, and there is also a target individual for a level five superhuman."

"Of the three experiments we set out, one has been completed so far. The remaining two experiments should be completed during the process of malicious possession in this world. After all, there are so many wizards who have broken through the limits, and those who jump the highest will always be the first to be hit."

The Red Princess's eyes were blazing with murderous intent, and her anger made her skin flush red. Her cold voice was filled with killing intent, "What kind of gibberish are you spouting? If you want to die, I can grant your wish."

"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me everything you know, including the forces behind you and how you acquired multiple superpowers."

Chi Chi!

A sharp blade extends from the mechanical armor gauntlet on the arm, its surface covered with dense red patterns, and it is extremely hot and continues to heat up.

The temperature in the room was so high that it felt scorching to the average person, making it difficult to breathe.

She never goes back on her word, and her killing intent is genuine. If this figure in the retro black robe doesn't tell the truth soon, she will kill him directly.

"We also need some special superhumans who have been injected with superhuman genes. The different tools will cause many subtle changes in the power of the rules. This experimental variable is also extremely important and must be included in the experiment."

"If we can find the Book of All Things, that would be best. If not, we can only settle for collecting these different rules of power for future experiments to prepare for the advancement of fourth-level wizards. As for the sublimated state, the attachment of the world's malice is a gradual process. There is still plenty of time. Those guys who caused a commotion will first have to weigh the power at the top of this world."

boom!

A burst of scorching flames erupted, and the blade, covered in red patterns, slashed vertically downwards towards Wang Ya with terrifying force, as energy poured into it like dripping lava.

The air emitted a sharp whistling sound as the remaining moisture was completely evaporated.

All those in the confinement cell could see was the bursting crimson light, incredibly blinding, carrying both light and heat. Any life that touched this blade would be melted into a pile of charred remains.

The Crimson Princess felt a chill run down her spine as she stared in shock at the black-robed figure before her, or more precisely, at the Crimson Dragon Blade, which possessed the heat-gathering properties of magma.

At this moment, two slender, white fingers gripped the blade. The previously expanding heat was suppressed by those two fingers, continuously shrinking back and being pushed back into the energy channels of the blade until it no longer displayed any power and became ordinary.

"Are you kidding me!"

"This is impossible!!"

Captain Black Dragon and the members of the Crimson Dragon Guard barely opened their eyes, only to be met with a scene that shocked their minds.

She only used two fingers... The Red Princess is the second strongest member of the Crimson Dragon Guard, and the second strongest in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom!

The owner of the fingers, a figure clad in a black robe, turned slightly, his dark eyes finally fixing on them, though with an unsettling calm.

Suddenly, the young man in black robes revealed a faint smile. "You are all valuable individuals. Are you willing to dedicate your own value to the path of truth?"

This sentence is spoken in the indigenous language.

Everyone present understood, and the shock of the outcome of that stab still lingered on their faces.

The Crimson Queen was the first to react, cold sweat dripping from her forehead. She abruptly drew her sword and took three steps back. Then, the engine core of her Crimson Dragon Armor was activated at full capacity. Terrifying energy flowed through the transmission lines, activating all the functions of the Crimson Dragon Armor.

The Crimson Dragon Guard reacted swiftly, quickly activating their Crimson Dragon Armor. With their super-powered genes combined with the armor, their aura gradually rose to level four.

When it reaches the full capacity of its overloaded functions, it reaches the limit of a level four superhuman and even shows some signs of a level five superhuman.

Captain Black Dragon turned and ran at top speed, his electromagnetic armor operating at overload. This kind of battle was simply beyond his capabilities.

At the same time, I was extremely terrified and uneasy, and I was also a little scared. That guy in black robes was indeed a monster, and the capture in C9 Park was a complete joke.

He directly invited a jinx into the Black Dragon Research Institute.

The super-powered shackles are completely useless against this kind of monster.

"Level 5, absolutely a Level 5 Calamity! The retro-robed superhuman in the classified documents also possesses Level 5 superhuman power, but their numbers are extremely small. We must notify Lord Crimson Dragon Prince to descend!!" Captain Black Dragon felt his scalp tingle when he thought about how there were actually two Level 5 Calamities within the Black Dragon Research Institute, one of whom had no restrictions and was terrifyingly powerful.

If the Ninth District were to become like the city of Yamashiro in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, he would definitely be skinned alive by the Red Dragon Emperor.

Inside the confinement room, the six members of the Crimson Dragon Guard had completed the full activation of the Crimson Dragon Armor. Their bodies were covered in crimson energy, flowing like blood vessels. The high temperature created a shockwave that evaporated moisture, forming another protective layer.

The armor's coverings completely envelop the body, protecting it from any damage and allowing it to adapt to most harsh environments.

Inside the mask, the pupils can be directly connected to the Crimson Dragon System to scan for enemy weaknesses, allowing for targeted combat.

All of this was accomplished in just one second. The six members of the Crimson Dragon Guard maintained their battle formation, their red-glowing visors with eyes resembling dragon pupils, staring intently at the black-robed figure.

Wang Ya's lips curled into a smile. "A remarkable technological method, somewhere between biology and physics. At its core is a living super-powered gene, and there are multiple cores, which allows for the super-power superposition."

"A good item indeed, worthy of a two-star superior rating in my collection."

pat!

With a crisp snap of his fingers, a strange change occurred in the entire solitary confinement cell.
