No strange things are allowed to evolve!

It's obvious that everyone had secretly conspired behind Jiang Shu's back to exchange everyone for Jiang Shu's safe departure.

Jiang Shu remained silent for a long time.

"Fine, we might lose, we might lose. I'm going all in!"

Chapter 276 Someone imitates my face, and someone else imitates my expression.

While completing the side quests, Jiang Shu also learned the truth about the Tanabe Disaster, a truth that even the laboratory did not know: the true limit of Jiang Shu's superpowers.

For a long time, or even now, the laboratory did not know how the meteorite crater that left behind a crater large enough to encompass the entire town of Tanabe came about.

Not only because the agent responsible for monitoring Jiang Shu's entire growth trajectory died, resulting in a lack of eyewitnesses, but also because even retrieving video footage via satellite yielded nothing.

There were no traces of explosives carrying enormous energy, nor was any source of the explosion found.

The explosion seemed to happen out of thin air, without any medium.

What's even more baffling is that the disappearance of the entire field and the huge meteorite crater were not just the result of a single explosion, but rather the result of many explosive materials piling up together and then exploding one after another.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the obvious signs of impact from multiple directions left on those ruins.

The reason the laboratory was so convinced that the explosion was caused by Jiang Shu was that, in addition to being a superhuman under close surveillance, he was also the only survivor at the scene.

However, no one can say for sure how it happened.

Because they could never have imagined that the explosive device they had been searching for, which seemed to be effective against all living beings and had left no survivors except for Jiang Shu, was actually the survivors themselves.

Mind Blast

Jiang Shu's superpowers evolved into the most brutal ability ever born.

It can ignite any living being that exists in any way, that is conscious, whether it has thoughts or acts purely on instinct.

With their consciousness as the trigger and their life force as the fuel, they burst forth with the most brilliant light of their lives.

That's why, apart from Jiang Shu, not a single survivor or even a living creature was found at the scene.

They had already ascended from the inside out, leaving not a single speck of ashes behind.

Such a powerful ability, which ignores all defenses and has no limitations, also comes at a huge cost.

After using it, it's not just about seeing terrifying things in nightmares; for a period of time, Jiang Shu will enter a state of confusion.

Commonly known as being mentally unstable.

Not only do they lose all ability to resist, but they also lose their reason.

That's why after the disaster at the field, Jiang Shu sat there waiting for the laboratory to come and take her in, and she didn't resist at all during the process.

Even though the version Jiang Shu has now is not the one that immediately awakened and attacked anyone indiscriminately, Jiang Shu can now select a target.

However, this side effect still exists.

In short, this is a trump card that can rival the lifespan of heaven and earth, which is why Jiang Shu didn't want to use it so soon.

One concern is that there might be an even greater threat after the creation of androids, and the other is that, besides that, there is another competitor whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Jiang Shu originally intended to wait until he was certain that he had overcome a certain hurdle, so that he could immediately pass the level, or rather, after he had settled everything, before reserving this trick for melatonin.

But now the situation is critical, and he can't worry about anything else.

If they continue to hide it, the army he led, which Jiang Shu called "the conscience of the empire," might be completely wiped out.

All I can say is that Jiang Shu has shown his temperament again.

He could indeed leave first, but he has never liked owing favors to others, and he dislikes taking on things that don't belong to him in order to achieve his goals smoothly.

After escaping the lab, I probably won't have the time or the opportunity to change the empire and start a revolution with you. So, the master leads you in, but the rest is up to you. You'd better figure it out yourselves.

Instead of placing their hopes on me.

then.

"Stay away from the androids! Protect yourselves! I will be leaving you temporarily, but you must keep moving forward!"

Jiang Shu shouted, and then, under the gaze of the rebels and the androids who had refocused their attention on him, he frantically formed hand seals.

In fact, he doesn't need to form hand seals.

He just felt that if he didn't do anything before using his special move and started with zero frames, it wouldn't feel like a special move.

next moment.

Countless beams of white light shot out from the android's chest and head, followed by a series of explosions from all directions.

Artificial humans produced in laboratories clearly possess more abundant life energy than ordinary people.

Fortunately, the laboratory, which was specially built to withstand impacts, was far more robust than the backward town of Tanabe.

So, despite the earth-shaking tremors and the alarming rattling of the pillars and partitions, they held up and did not completely collapse.

However, there was still a lot of local damage, which caused the entire basement to be buried in dust and ash. Before the people present could even react to what had happened, they were already covered in dust.

When the sudden explosion occurred, the blinding and dazzling light made it impossible for the rebels to look directly at it. They could only instinctively close their eyes and, as Jiang Shu had instructed, hug their heads and curl up.

In fact, with such power, even a bear tank would probably suffer a lot. Even if it didn't die, it would be seriously injured.

However, thanks to the [Numbness] buff, the Bear Tank was not seriously injured, although he still had quite a few scratches on his body, making him look much worse than the Flame Fist Android.

The situation is much worse for others.

Aside from the initial casualties inflicted by the androids at a very low cost, nearly half of the remaining people were also affected by this attack, and even with [numbness], they were now completely unable to stand up.

"This kind of impact..."

The bear tank, which had felt pain multiple times in a short period of time, was now baring its teeth:

"If all of them were concentrated in one point, it would be comparable to an intercontinental ballistic missile."

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

No one would question his judgment.

Just as he said before, even if he were blown up by a miniature nuclear bomb buried in the laboratory, he wouldn't die.

This wasn't him boasting; the lab had actually conducted such an experiment on him.

That was his final test. It was during the life-or-death struggle between being bombed by a miniature nuclear bomb that he awakened his full superpowers and gained defensive capabilities that were considered the ultimate even among superpowered individuals.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles are far more powerful than miniature nuclear bombs. Since Xiong Tank has said so, it proves that Jiang Shu has become an ultimate superhuman with such power, one that even Xiong Tank's defenses cannot stop.

"tutor..."

"He's become a god now?!"

The stunned crowd snapped out of their daze and instinctively looked at Jiang Shu.

However, he had already entered a state of delirium and apparent death.

Because it happened so suddenly, many people didn't hear what Jiang Shu said.

However, Saeko, who was not too far away from him at the time, heard it.

She relayed Jiang Shu's final instructions to everyone.

"How long will it take for our mentor to wake up?" everyone asked anxiously.

“I don’t know either.” Saeko was also worried. “But I estimate it will take some time, otherwise he wouldn’t have said something like that… that he would leave us for a while or something… sigh.”

Everyone remained silent.

After a long while, a resentful muttering to oneself finally rang out.

"Yes, this must have put a heavy burden on the mentor, causing him to be overworked."

"Sigh, it's all our fault for being so useless."

If Jiang Shu were awake at this moment, he would be very surprised, and then very gratified.

Because he originally thought that there might be some people who would blame him.

I feel that he clearly has such power, but he only uses it after the androids have caused nearly half of the resistance army's casualties.

If he had used it earlier, or even from the very beginning, would there have been no casualties?

But surprisingly, not a single person thought that way.

Instead, everyone felt guilty, believing that it was their fault that Jiang Shu had to make such a sacrifice.

"He was the one leading us, helping us become self-reliant, but in the end, did he bear everything alone...?"

Xiong Tank angrily slammed his fist against the wall.

He was very unwilling.

Many others share his thoughts.

Although the threat of androids has been eliminated, which should be a cause for celebration, everyone is in low spirits.

Even in victory, it is still a disgrace!

Saeko sighed, "There's no point in saying all this now. I think we should rest and take stock of our damage, and then continue forward with our mentor. I don't think our mentor made this decision to see you all in this state."

After thinking for a long time, everyone finally nodded and agreed with Saeko's words.

In any case, the most important thing is to carry on the mentor's beliefs and turn grief and anger into strength, which is the greatest respect for the mentor!

Just as they were planning to take advantage of this brief respite and continue forward with Jiang Shu,

suddenly.

Boom!Boom!

Heavy footsteps approached.

The bear tank sensed the danger immediately.

"There are more experts?"

He turned his head to look.

A middle-aged man who looked about 80% like Jiang Shu was slowly walking towards them from a distance.

“This is…” Xiong Tank squinted his eyes.

Everyone else was also on high alert.

"Cyborg?"

"But why does the android look so much like the mentor?"

Saeko looked at Jiang Shu, then at the android, and exclaimed, "Could it be...?"

"Damn it!" Bear Tank roared, "Our mentor isn't even dead yet, and you're already making androids that look exactly like him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"Imitating our abilities is one thing, but to imitate our faces too? And our mentor's face at that?"

"Damn Japanese devils!"

Why are you wasting your breath talking to him?

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"No...wait a minute!" Saeko tried to call out to Kuma Tank.

But her voice was helplessly drowned out by the crowd's outrage.

Dr. Nakamura, who could see the real-time images transmitted by the monitor embedded in the android's head, was also dumbfounded.

"No...this shouldn't be the case."

He coveted Jiang Shu's newfound abilities after his full awakening, and he thought now was the best time to control him.

Even if it's an artificial human, if it has the same face as Jiang Shu, then this artificial human created based on Jiang Shu's brother will surely be able to lull Jiang Shu's followers into a false sense of security.

Therefore, he could not only take advantage of everyone's relaxed vigilance to attack Jiang Shu, but also help control Jiang Shu through his connection with her.

Jiang Shu will ultimately lose to herself and to family because of her extraordinary telepathic abilities.

After seeing Jiang Shu use his power at such a high cost for his followers, Nakamura became absolutely certain of this.

but...

The plan seems to have deviated slightly.

These mentally unstable individuals seemed to have taken this android as a poor imitation of Jiang Shu by the laboratory, and that's when their anger was ignited.
