"The armor on their bodies is very thick;
I’m sowhat worried that the armor-piercing bullets might not be effective."
In the hidden headquarters of the National Security Bureau, Rekus watched the monitor with a low voice.
"It’s not a big problem, this type of armor-piercing bullet can even pierce through tanks directly. They can’t possibly be tougher than tanks, can they?" Rania spoke calmly, her voice exuding trendous confidence.
This ti, the weapons issued to the soldiers were the highest armor-piercing effect Flying Dragon model armor-piercing bullets, arranged by him in advance.
Paired with the latest model of close-range individual launch guns, which can only shoot three tis before the gun is scrapped.
Such power, such cost, even the legendary Alloy Robots could be shot straight through.
"We’re about to make contact!" At this mont on the screen, Black Light and the ard forces of the National Security Bureau were about to enter the sa spacious hall.
Everyone concentrated and held their breath, waiting for the mont of true combat.
Click.
The door to the underground dining hall was gently twisted open and then swung inwards.
A Black Light operative, looking like a massive black can, stepped into the hall.
And at that mont.
Bang!!
With a loud sound,
An armor-piercing bullet with a circle of white vapor and a faint flash of fire burst out of the barrel, rotating at supersonic speed to hit the chest of the operative.
The bullet instantly penetrated the thick armor, continued inward, and fiercely hit the pale yellow skin of the operative.
But the next instant, silver Spirit Light spontaneously appeared.
Clang.
The bullet bent, cracked, the powerful kinetic energy stirred up layers of tiny ripples on the silver Spirit Light, and then ca to a complete stop.
The operative stood on the spot, looked down, and saw the slender armor-piercing bullet embedded in his chest.
He reached out to grab the tail of the bullet and yanked it out forcefully.
Then he looked in the direction the sound ca from.
He saw a number of National Security Bureau ard operatives in dark green combat suits, holding their guns, staring at him dumbfounded.
Dead silence.
For a mont, only the echo of the gunshot reverberated inside the room.
"Enemy attack!!" The Black Light operative roared angrily, his heavy body pouncing toward the other side like a bear.
His speed was extrely fast;
with one leap, he covered seven or eight ters, wielding a heavy Battle Axe, and swung it at the two people in front.
Swoosh!
Amidst the roaring sound of the airstream, the two soldiers barely managed to fire a couple of shots before having half of their heads chopped off.
The bullets hit the Black Light operative but only caused so silver ripples on the outer layer of silver light.
They couldn’t penetrate at all.
"For the Spirit Alliance!!"
Several other Black Light operatives also rushed in at this mont, charging straight into the ranks of the ard personnel, each performing standardized actions, chopping down one with an axe, knocking another away with their bodies, their movents well-trained, clean, and efficient.
In less than three seconds.
The fight was over.
Fifteen ard operatives were all killed.
The hall was filled with blood and gore;
so didn’t even get a chance to aim their guns and could only fire wildly in panic, being violently knocked against the walls where their bones shattered, leaving them on the brink of death.
"It’s the new soldiers who ca in. They have external communication equipnt." The Black Light Captain quickly collected the spoils of war.
"First, let’s deal with the others." The Deputy Captain rapidly perford the Sealing hand gestures and released magic.
A faint red light rope flew first to the corpses on the ground, then soared up, shooting off toward a passage sowhere.
"Follow."
The operatives quickly wiped the blood off their axes and followed the red light rope, rushing towards the outskirts of the research facility.
And at that mont.
The higher-ups at the National Security Bureau watched the footage from the surveillance, falling into silence.
In the instant the encounter began.
They saw the Black Light operative get hit, thinking he was dood for sure.
But then. The appearance of that silver Spirit Light was beyond their imagination;
not only did the operative not die, but he also roared and charged like a wild beast, killing two people with one axe swing.
Following the battle performance of the other Black Light operatives, it was also confird that it wasn’t just that one operative with silver Spirit Light, but all of them had it.
After watching the encounter that lasted less than five seconds, all the higher-ups fell silent.
It was only when the monitor completely switched to the second team of fifteen people.
Rekus suddenly snapped back to reality and stood up to give orders.
"Command, Teams Six and Seven, retreat imdiately, abort the mission! Retreat imdiately, abort the mission!"
His hand grasping the mike was so tense it turned white.
Had he not witnessed the live footage, he would never have believed that such strong individual combat gear existed in this world, which even armor-piercing bullets couldn’t penetrate.
And just now, he had seen it with his own eyes...
More than that, those Black Light warriors were like monsters. Imnsely strong, astonishingly fast.
Their own soldiers were as fragile as babies in front of them, easily getting flung over ten ters with just a push.
"These... they’re simply monsters!!" Rania also stood up, he didn’t stop Rekus from giving orders directly over him. Instead, he stared at the bloody scene on the monitor, his lips trembling.
"Is this a special effects movie?!" An official stood up, his face looking terrible.
"How did the Spirit Alliance find such a group of monsters with strong physiques? Genetic Warriors? Enhanced cyborgs?? Or so other kind of science fiction gadgets??" another person said sternly.
"I think we need to reconsider how to face the Spirit Alliance, and change our previous attitude towards them," another person said loudly, "Just imagine, if such advanced technology were in our hands, how powerful would we beco??"
"Such power really shouldn’t be in private hands! Richard is right. Spirit Alliance is just a civilian organization;
no matter how strong they may be, how can they possibly be stronger than a nation. I suggest a direct request for a joint strike by the army and air force. Eliminate part of their forces, then force negotiations, making them hand over such technology. Such uniformly elite soldiers can’t possibly be innately so powerful;
there must be related technology for enhancent training, and that silver light might also be a new type of protective technology! Like laser force field barriers, we must have such power in our hands!" Rania concluded. His gaze swept over everyone.
"Moreover, we must act quickly, otherwise if other countries discover this first, taking the lead, it will be a huge loss for us!"
"That’s right, with this video, the president will definitely agree to deploy the air force to cooperate!" soone nodded in agreent.
"Then, let’s start the operation, gentlen, issue a wanted order against the Spirit Alliance and its mbers, and let the artillery and rocket forces directly raze their research facilities to the ground," Rania said gravely.
Everyone’s heart tightened, knowing that the severity has officially escalated to the treatnt of terrorists.
The formidable technology displayed by the Spirit Alliance has reached a level so appealing that even national departnts are interested.
The current conflict is no longer on the small scale of eradicating local gangs, but has entered the realm of official warfare.
"Yes!" Everyone stood up together, their expressions solemn.

Inside the research facility.
The Black Light Team, based on the seized surveillance footage, retraced their way to the cara and destroyed the jamming device.
They imdiately reestablished contact with the Spirit Alliance.
Spirit Alliance Headquarters building.
Power King, Qing Huang, and Zhao Jingtang gathered together.
They were responsible for handling this mission, while the other high-level mbers of the Spirit Alliance were in charge of advancing other projects.
The dispersal of Spirit Light in Mana City was basically complete, and now the Spirit Alliance has begun to expand into several surrounding cities.
"Can we confirm if these are active ard personnel from the National Security Bureau?" Power King asked with a frown as he watched the Black Light Captain in the communication feed.
"Confird, our equipnt currently has no satellite relay, no base station signal tower enhancent, and can only carry out short-distance communication, which is very troubleso. After being jamd, we could not maintain continuous contact with headquarters. After discussion, we decided to continue with the mission. And just now, we encountered ard soldiers with armor-piercing weapons targeting us, a total of thirty people, nearly all annihilated. Please advise on the next steps."
"This has escalated to a higher intensity;
armor-piercing weapons of this level are not allowed to be sold publicly, aning even if we have already pacified the local garrison, it is still possible that the military may be involved," Power King said gravely.
"We should notify the Alliance Hierarch now;
the situation could spiral out of control at any mont," Zhao Jingtang, who always prefers stability, suggested.
"No need. Since the Alliance Hierarch entrusted this to , I will handle everything!" Power King said.
Zhao Jingtang frowned, wanting to say sothing, but then suddenly heard a piercing whistling noise coming from the feed.
"Wait! This is... artillery fire!! Evade imdiately!!" Power King reacted instantly.
They had only just co from a world close to doomsday, where the enduring war against the Black Disaster was constant high-intensity combat, and the sound of artillery was ingrained into their very bones.
At this mont, upon hearing it, their conditioned reflex kicked in, and they shouted out loud.
The images on the monitor shook violently, and the nine well-trained individuals swiftly scattered without panic, seeking cover on the spot.
The communication images were quickly severed amidst a series of loud explosions.
"The artillery has also been deployed," Power King said with a troubled expression.
"We must notify the Alliance Hierarch now, the intensity is escalating. Fista might launch a full-scale encirclent on us at any mont," Zhao Jingtang quickly said.
"No need. I already know."
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared beside them.
Aside from his robust physique, he was cloaked in a broad white Daoist robe indicative of the Temple Master of Qingchen Temple. A vast silver Tai Chi Diagram was depicted on the back of the robe, ancient and flowing.
Yu Hong’s eyes sparkled with a faint white light. Initially, he planned to enhance only one eye, but as there were neither any Cultivation Techniques nor dicines specific to training a single eye available, he had to proceed with both.
"It seems our actions have been rather conspicuous. It’s normal to provoke a strong retaliatory response," he said, calm.
"Alliance Hierarch, what should we do now?" Power King asked respectfully with his head lowered. "If you ask , we should just deal with it head-on! We do have anti-aircraft guns after all."
"The difference in numbers is too great." Yu Hong slowly shook his head, looking at the disconnected screen with a hint of regret on his face.
"Moreover, we are all human. An endless cycle of vengeance will only lead to ruin. This world is inevitably facing a cataclysmic disaster;
any infighting now only weakens our future resistance against the Source Disaster."
"But we can’t just keep taking hits, can we?" Power King said, exasperated.
"I’ve said before, those who decide whether to engage in infighting are not the ordinary soldiers but their decision-makers behind the scenes. Hence, there’s no need for all-out confrontation. Imdiately make arrangents, issue a warning notice, then detonate a couple of hydrogen bombs nearby. They’ll understand our commitnt to peace then."
"...."
"....."
"...."
The conference room fell silent.
"Are... Are we really going to do it??" Power King stamred. Looking at the Alliance Hierarch’s composed face, he suddenly felt a bit dry-mouthed.
"Didn’t we move the launch device here? Isn’t the silo ready? Or is it the fuel that hasn’t been transported?" Yu Hong looked at him.
"It’s not... that. But it’s a nuclear explosion. What if it triggers a chain reaction..." Power King clenched his teeth.
"It’s okay... Unless it’s the near core area, Spirit Light can protect us from harm everywhere else. And the general populace of Mana City already have Spirit Light attachnts. Although not yet powerful, it has enhanced their recovery abilities for now, but with a simple switch to enhance their defense, it should be enough to keep them safe," Yu Hong said.
"Without satellite positioning, what if we miss our target when we launch?" Power King worried.
"There’s no need to cross state lines, and high precision isn’t necessary. Launching in the style of a rocket artillery won’t be a problem," Yu Hong said. "Go. Carry out the order."
"...." Power King left the conference room with a look of concern, leaving behind two old n speechless, unsure of what to say.
Qing Huang and Zhao Jingtang once thought that Yu Hong was a righteous man who might employ so unscrupulous ans to save the world.
But now...
They suddenly felt that the term ’simply good’ was no longer sufficient to describe the Alliance Hierarch before them.
The pressure and threat from the Source Disaster had already driven him slightly mad.
