"The people within the continent accept the G1 reagents they provide, continuously transforming... and begin to expand systematically to other continents, increasing the number of superhumans, attempting to overthrow the existing social order, and rebuild a global nation belonging to the new humans."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly; without a doubt, this was the situation they would face next.

"Didn't their side do anything more to stop it?"

Some members of Congress felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask, "The United States has the world's largest armed forces. If even they fail, one can only imagine that the situation in other countries will be even worse."

"Erzhuang has access to the internet over there and found some information, which I've seen..."

Facing the camera, Su Nianlin spoke solemnly, even somewhat subdued:

"The countermeasures they took were quite ruthless. They had planned to deploy nuclear weapons against the city where the five Level 4 Awakened were located, but ultimately failed because they lost control and all networks were paralyzed."

"It's highly likely that the rebels, people with special abilities, used unknown electronic pulses to destroy their network and seize control of nuclear weapons. This is not good news for us."

"On the one hand, we must deal with the risk of insurgents releasing nuclear weapons and bombing the world; on the other hand, we must be vigilant about whether similar capabilities are awakening within our own borders..."

"Is that so?!"

The high-ranking officials present all frowned upon hearing this.

Nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapons capable of destroying human civilization. If they are controlled by the United States, although dangerous, they are still controllable, at least they will not release them at will. However, if they are seized by the awakened, they will be completely out of control, and everything that happens next is unpredictable.

Most importantly, will that special ability user in Florida one day in the future also seize control of the country's nuclear weapons?

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Wei Yuanming, the chairman responsible for communicating with the nine departments, said in a deep voice:

"There is no need to worry about the threat of overseas nuclear weapons. The two Class A mechs, which are still in the final testing phase, and the coastal missile defense system are sufficient to intercept them. Domestic nuclear weapons have also been strengthened and will not be so easily seized."

"Gentlemen, please hold on a little longer. I can tell you definitively that the dawn of victory is very close."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Councilor Mu You looked doubtful and asked curiously, "President Wei, what makes you say that?"

Wei Yuanming did not hide anything from this and recounted the information he had recently learned:

"The G1 reagent was introduced into the country only after it was analyzed. Currently, the Ninth Department has found an effective control solution. They are also developing a device to suppress supernatural abilities, which should take about 1-2 months. When that device is worn, the threat of awakened individuals can be reduced to the minimum, causing their abilities to weaken by a percentage or even become ineffective at any time."

"In other words, if we hold out until mid-June, the potential dangers posed by the awakened will be completely eliminated."

"In addition, around July, Red Summer University will be completed. As long as the awakened ones are properly guided and given education about the powers of superhumans, the future may be very exciting."

Wei Yuanming's words greatly encouraged everyone, and their expressions immediately brightened.

"Is it true?"

"Very good!!"

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

However, some senior members did not think so. One vice president said with great concern:

"But... having gained power and freedom, would you still be willing to return to a cage where you are controlled by others?"

"Even wild beasts will fight to the death, let alone living, breathing people."

"What should give us a headache are those Level 4 Awakened individuals who have disappeared without a trace. Although they haven't started a rebellion, it will be difficult to subdue them..."

"So far, only the Celestial Master and Old Master Lu have killed a Level 4 Awakened. It's simply unrealistic for anyone else to deal with the pursuit."

Chapter 340 The Three Major Threats of the Fiefdom and the Establishment of a Kingdom

Awakened beings who have evolved to level 4 have an exceptionally strong ability to escape. To be precise, as long as they insist on hiding in the vast sea of ​​people, the Security Council has no way to deal with them, and no matter how many investigators they send, it will be to no avail.

In the past 10 days, the two Level 4 Awakened individuals killed by the Old Celestial Master and Lu Jin were those with extraordinary talent and arrogant nature.

One of them preached in the South China region, seeking to transform into a land deity, and accelerated his transformation by drawing on the faith of his followers;

One person controls a city, treating the lower-level awakened individuals within as prey, toying with and killing them to satisfy his perverse desires.

Both crossed the Security Council's bottom line, relying on their superhuman abilities that placed them above all others, and disdaining to evolve incognito like sewer rats. Consequently, they were killed on April 12 and 14, respectively.

If they hadn't appeared so openly, even if Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin wanted to cause them trouble, they wouldn't have had the chance.

Some senior members understood what the vice president said and echoed or agreed with it.

"For Level 1 and 2 Awakened Beings, equipping them with devices to restrict their abilities has a relatively high success rate, but Level 3 and 4 Awakened Beings certainly won't hand over their lives to us for nothing."

"An unavoidable conflict is inevitable between the two sides, and it's unclear how many people will die..."

Some lawmakers also expressed their opposition to these concerns:

"As long as we show enough pressure, they won't dare to openly cause trouble."

"Excuse my bluntness, but manpower is limited. We can't possibly handle everything. Do you think we, with only 50,000 superhumans, can completely manage 20 to 30 million awakened beings? That's unrealistic."

"I think there is room for error and oversight, which is acceptable. It is enough to register Level 3 and 4 individuals and have them wear restraint devices. There is no need to go to extremes. If we push them too far, the disasters they cause will ultimately harm ordinary people."

Listening to his colleagues' endless debate, Wei Yuanming coughed a few times to signal for quiet, and then announced:

"Friends, let's get back to the main topic. The advice given by the Nine Departments is that we should focus on doing a few things right now, and they will help us with the rest."

1. Suppress out-of-control incidents across the country by force, using iron-fisted methods to restore order and stability, and extinguish the ambitions of those fools;

"2. Accelerate the construction progress of Chixia University. With this place to accommodate and cultivate awakened individuals, and backed by a huge student body, we will eventually cultivate batches of Level 4 powerhouses. It will benefit the present and benefit future generations. The future belongs to them. As long as the university exists and more and more are established, even if we grow old and retire, there will be successors to protect this beautiful land."

Wei Yuanming met the gazes that converged from the numerous windows. His eyes were bright, as if filled with boundless expectations, undeterred by his current predicament.

This is an extremely respected senior figure who was once the second-in-command of a special department exploring ancient civilization relics. He made many unparalleled contributions, weathered many storms, and remained calm in the face of danger.

Unconsciously, many councilors were moved by his calm and firm gaze. Wei Yuanming then continued:

"We are working on the above two things. The third thing we need to do now is to ensure that no Level 4 Awakened Ones lead a large number of followers to rise up in rebellion and establish their own kingdoms."

"A friend in the Ninth Division paid a heavy price to obtain three important intelligence reports for us, all concerning highly dangerous Level 4 Awakened individuals within the country. Wait a moment, Xiao Shi, share the files with me."

As Wei Yuanming gave an instruction to his assistant off-camera, three unfolded personal files appeared on the projection screens of each executive, accompanied by high-definition images. They showed two young men and women, and a rough-looking man in his forties.

"this.....?"

Some people's pupils dilated suddenly, and they gasped, shocked by the information presented before them.

"Yes, as you can see, these three are the awakened ones who will cause turmoil in the next year or two."

For this intelligence, Wei Yuanming's close friend from the Myriad Manifestations Hall, who cared deeply for the world and plotted to steal the secrets of heaven, forcibly opened the Myriad Manifestations Pool. He lost his life, turning to ashes inch by inch right before Wei Yuanming's eyes in just over ten minutes.

A fleeting sadness flickered in his eyes, but he composed himself and began to explain earnestly:

"Lin Yingya, 27 years old, awakened on the day Behemoth sold the G1 reagent. She returned to China in early April, and her current location is unknown. Her ability is a kind of soul imprinting technique. Awakened individuals or ordinary people who have been secretly marked by her will become 'life-saving puppets', having their luck and memories plundered by her, and suffering all the harm she suffers. The maximum number of puppets is around 100,000, which is what she can do at level 4. At level 5... it will be at least several times more."

"Gu Yinnian, 24 years old, is also a bug who returned from overseas. His ability is to create a dream world in the deep palace, which is adjacent to the real world and covers a radius of 5 kilometers. Once you are affected by him, the probability of leaving is almost zero. In the special dimension of the dream, he can create layer after layer of dreams, causing the trapped person to fall continuously. With each layer they fall, time is slowed down by 10 times, and their consciousness is constantly approaching the edge of death. In layman's terms, they become a vegetable."

"Luo Wukun, 43 years old, is an evil cultivator. He committed crimes in his early years, carrying the weight of dozens of lives on his conscience. He has evaded the pursuit of the All-Knowing Cult and is still at large. His ability is to transfer, bestow, or modify the lifespan of different individuals without direct contact. He can either cause people to age or regress to childhood. In addition, he suffers from schizophrenia, and the other personality within him is extremely dangerous. The exact nature of his abilities has not yet been determined."

Many high-ranking officials reviewed the documents, their expressions varying.

The seven vice presidents remained silent, deep in thought. They knew it would be difficult to win over such an awakened individual.

However, what Wei Yuanming said next made them even more depressed.

"There are dozens of other Awakened beings at the same level as these three, but for some reason, we can only obtain this much information for now. We don't have any information about the other nine departments."

"I'm telling you all today so that you'll pay more attention to them when you're on missions. If you encounter them, be sure not to get into a conflict and contact me, the Celestial Master, and Elder Lu immediately."

"Now that we know their identities, do we need to win them over?" a bespectacled, somewhat simple-minded councilor asked.

"There's no need for that. There's room for negotiation with other Level 4 Awakened, but not with these three. They are destined to cause chaos. Quite a few Awakened have already died at their hands. Death is the best outcome for them."

"......"

"it is good."

"I have no objection to that."

Soon, all senior executives reached a consensus and approved the decision made at the meeting.

Over the next month, the Security Council tightened its control over the seven jurisdictions. Despite the countless Awakened being killed, the troublemakers remained restless, appearing in various places like cockroaches.

But most of them are level 2 awakeners. Level 3 and 4 awakeners know how to keep a low profile, afraid of getting into trouble, so they either keep a low profile or hide away.

During this period, the overseas situation was turbulent, and the territories of many countries were seized by the rising new human forces, especially the United States, where as many as one-fifth of the continents were occupied. There were constant large and small wars every day, and the new humans won victory after victory. The old power nobles and elites began to panic and wanted to return to the negotiating table to make peace, but they no longer had the opportunity.

Even some high-ranking demons, disguised in human skin, sensed something was amiss. This was completely different from what they had initially imagined. More and more powerful beings were awakening, and they were hunting demons like hungry ghosts. Due to their overwhelming numbers, they were causing them serious casualties.

It's like an ironic cycle: the old humans are food for the devil, and the devil is food for the new humans.

In late April, Galzato, a Level III demon who has been entrenched in Detroit for a century and considers it his backyard, clashed fiercely with several Level 4 Awakened individuals who were constantly expanding their territory. To avoid harming their 'food', they took the initiative to challenge each other to a duel in the suburbs.

Less than half a day later, news came from the front lines that the noble demon lord had been torn apart and killed by several humans, and his head had been displayed to the public.

When the demons of the entire nation learned of this, they were all horrified.

A crisis of racial extinction was about to unfold, simply because the three Level 4 Awakened beings, who had been bathed in the blood of demons, were tired of the demons' wanton slaughter of humanity.

They declared that they would not only rebuild social order, but also exterminate any demons with filthy and greedy blood from this vast land.

In a short time, he gained a large number of supporters.

Many demons lurking in the human world were filled with shock and anger. They mobilized their forces to suppress these rebels while demanding an explanation from Behemoth, which was completely different from the original agreement.

They wield immense power, parasitizing the bloated power machine from top to bottom. Without their indulgence, G1 would never have been allowed to be listed and sold in New York.

The demons hoped to see fresher, more ferocious prey appear, and Behemoth made the same promise to them, claiming that humans injected with G1, even if they evolved greatly, would only be as strong as large predators in nature, prey that the demons could crush at any time.

Little did they know it was all a lie, and things spiraled out of control, like opening Pandora's box and unleashing a bunch of monsters.

The tycoon family behind Behemoth, realizing they've been tricked, is furious.

They summoned a group of Level II demons from New York to go to Behemoth's headquarters to find out the reason and take revenge, but they were unexpectedly blocked by six primordial apostles, resulting in a bloodbath and the annihilation of their entire army.

Following this, Behemoth released a large number of secret files about demons hunting humans and controlling society.

Each one was shocking. In just a few days, 90% of the awakened people across the country turned their spears against the demons, determined to exterminate them. Bloody battles broke out in many cities, and the fighting was so fierce that it caused chaos and darkness.

Chapter 341 Mastery of Extraordinary Skills

The ancient races are suffering repeated defeats under the siege of the children of the new era.

The two are not even in the same league. In the past 240 years of American history, there are fewer than 60 Class III demons who migrated from other continents or evolved after interbreeding with native humans, as recorded in the known secret files.

Aside from those who died of old age or went missing, the number of demon lords still active today is extremely small, not even reaching 20.

The United States is the birthplace of G1. After a month and a half of promotion, more than half of its hundreds of millions of people have been transformed into superhumans. The number of Level 3 Awakeners has reached 2000, and the number of Level 4 Awakeners, who are the masterminds who have stirred up rebellions in various states, has reached 100.

Behemoth's artificial intelligence life form once again struck ruthlessly, sending intelligence via the network to a large number of Level 3 and Level 4 Awakened individuals about the locations of numerous demons disguised as human elites, financial tycoons, and wealthy families.

Furthermore, it dispatched eight primordial apostles to sweep away the demons in New York and the surrounding cities with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Those Level II and Level III demons, who had been social parasites for one or two hundred years, were driven to near despair and fled the country in just a few days.

Most of the demon corpses were collected, dissected, and analyzed by Behemoth, becoming the best material for creating bio-warriors.

Behemoth's artificial intelligence life form has been closely monitoring the chaos within the country.

It is waiting for an opportunity, waiting until 70% of the continents have fallen and the old human regime is on the verge of collapse, that will be the best time for it to enter the game.

The 12 primordial apostles controlled by it using super brain chips were rare even among level 4 awakeners, giving it the confidence to bury all resistance forces.

The situation in other continents is not optimistic either. At first, there were only a large number of incidents of awakened individuals going out of control. As time went on, the old human regimes, like cancerous organs, continued to decay and were attacked by various Level 4 awakened individuals who could no longer suppress their ambitions, showing signs of decline.

April is the most chaotic period in the world, with the existing peaceful world order on the verge of collapse.

......

Before you know it, it's early May, nighttime, Chicago, USA.

In a corner of the city's ruins, a hideous demon with four wings and two horns, resembling a bear, was emitting a terrified and shrill scream.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Its pitch-black skin and vibrant flesh disappeared one after another, as if being devoured by an invisible, gaping maw.

"what!!!"

"No!!"

"plea..se..."

The demon's limbs were entangled in black mist, as if it were trapped in a swamp, unable to escape. Its soul was forcibly dragged out, turning into a blur, and was chewed and absorbed by a burly shadow.

The two humans who hunted this Level II demon were an old and emaciated man, and a pale man whose facial features had disappeared, leaving only his body and hands, making him look strange and terrifying.

Their attire was completely out of step with the local dress culture; they were clearly Wang family elders who had crossed the sea and mysterious evil cultivators who harbored hatred towards the Celestial Master's Mansion lineage.
