Intelligence Agency officials changed the subject, "Before you entered the Abyss Battlefield, do you rember the mission you were given?"
Alex Austin exhaled and answered, "I rember."
"What mission? Repeat it."
"Enter a high-tech civilization and obtain technological data."
"Did you complete it?"
"I was working on it. If we could have won the final battle, I could have acquired technological data from the Sikes Civilization's Descent Faction."
The Intelligence Agency official's tone grew colder, "In other words, you failed."
A failure.
This was the branding thrust upon Alex Austin after his return.
He despised this title, yet he had no way to refute it.
His team had started off quite successfully when they were in the Sikes Civilization.
They could not only complete the challenge tasks but also secret ones.
Especially in the last battle at the Delrimus 3 base—if they could have held the base, they could have attained a higher status with the Descent Faction.
Then they would have been eligible to request technological data from the upper echelons of the Descent Faction.
On Blue Star, the arms race among major powers had never ceased.
It was a matter of balancing the economy and military.
And technology was the keystone in the arms race, particularly technology that was ahead of its ti.
Therefore,
when the nations of the world learned of the existence of the Cyber World within the Abyss Battlefield, they had been trying to acquire technological data from the Cyber World.
The first batch of cyber-technology weapons brought back by the Superpower Users mostly went into research institutions of various countries.
However, these Cyber World technologies differed greatly from Human World technologies.
Trying to study the Cyber World weapons by dismantling them was difficult and inefficient.
Thus, a simpler and more effective thod was to take the technological data directly from the Cyber World.
There had been Superpower Users who succeeded before, but they only obtained technological data in specific fields, which helped break through certain technologies but did not greatly enhance the overall technological progress.
...
With a sarcastic expression, the Intelligence Agency official said, "You failed, but several Eastern Superpower Users succeeded. We just received the news that they obtained a piece of top-secret technological data."
Upon hearing this news, Alex Austin's expression instantly stiffened.
In a deep voice, he said, "If it hadn't been for so strange reasons that saw to my team being saddled with four useless mbers, I definitely wouldn't have lost."
From the very beginning of assembling his team, he had been dissatisfied with certain team mbers.
The reasons those waste-of-spaces joined were unacceptable to him, it was bad enough that so were male and so female, but there were also those who were neither.
The Intelligence Agency official laughed and said, "This ti you get to pick your own team, go retrieve that technological data. With this data, the Federation can be great once more."
Alex Austin slightly narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist, saying, "This ti when picking my team, no one is allowed to interfere, otherwise I will withdraw imdiately."
This demand was not sothing a regular Intelligence Agency official could promise.
Sitting in the conference room, having been silent all along, Fisher Raymond was the one who truly held decision-making power there.
After listening to everyone's statents, he finally spoke,
"You may, but if your requirents are t and you still fail, you know what the consequences will be."
Alex Austin held his head high with confidence, even a bit of arrogance, as he loudly proclaid, "As long as the team is assembled according to my specifications, the team I lead will be the strongest on this planet. No matter who stands before , I will crush them!"
...
As ti entered the eighth month of the Abyss invasion, great changes began to take place in the Human World.
An old era had passed, old powers had fallen into silence, and new forces had erged.
The era of the Transcendents had beco inevitable.
Just a few months earlier, certain groups and forces wanted to "restore order from chaos" by researching ways to remove the extraordinary powers of the Superpower Users.
These counter-current forces and organizations, however, were all engulfed by the rolling waves of the era, vanishing in the flood of ti.
New powers rose, and old powers embraced extraordinary strength, becoming new rulers.
The upheavals and changes of an era beca stories frequently enacted in the middle of the Abyss Descent.
In the tides of era transformation, the financial nations, which only knew how to suck blood, were in peril, only the industrial nations could ensure sufficient force to resist the Abyss invasion.
And Da Xia was the largest industrial nation on Blue Star.
Not only that, Da Xia had also received a set of technology data from the Sikes Civilization, and they had literally grasped the future in their hands.
...
At this ti, in a training facility by the Coastal region of Da Xia, Lu Heng was practicing his swordsmanship.
Ever since his Extre Speed surpassed the speed of sound, the space of the original Training Room had beco insufficient.
So, they purchased a stadium and reconstructed it into a training facility for regular team training.
After reaching the Conception Level in his Sword Skill Realm, the pace of his cultivation had beco increasingly slow.
Sotis, after a long period of cultivation, he would not see any prompt for an increase in his Training Level.
It was indeed the case that the higher the realm of swordsmanship, the slower the improvent; this was normal.
After a few attempts, Lu Heng discovered that using the Windwalker Skill in combination with practicing swordsmanship effectively increased the pace of improvent in his Sword Skill Realm.
Therefore, Lu Heng's current thod of practicing swordsmanship was to gather Strength, strike with the sword, then gather Strength again, and strike.
Like a streak of Gale, he flickered across the square, alternating between stillness and movent as he searched for the essential secret to breaking through the bottleneck of his swordsmanship.
While Lu Heng was practicing, unbeknownst to him, a spectator had arrived in the stands.
This spectator was cloaked, wearing a hood, with a glint of multicolored pupil light shining from beneath it.
As May arrived, the weather slowly ward up.
Lu Heng had already switched to short sleeves, and sotis, when practicing intensely, he would even take off his shirt because of the profuse sweat.
After practicing for a while, Lu Heng walked back to the side of the field to drink water and rest, looking up at 027, he asked, "Aren't you hot?"
"It's bearable."
"Is there sothing you need?"
027 took out an envelope and flicked it towards Lu Heng.
Lu Heng caught the envelope, already guessing what it was: "Another invitation?"
The last invitation's target was Hasegawa Tom, who had already been taken care of by Lu Heng.
So this ti, it must be a new target.
"Correct, I hope this invitation's target ets your expectations," said 027 with a tone of banter.
"Who is it?"
"The envelope has the na."
Lu Heng opened the envelope, took out the na card inside, and was taken aback once again.
The na card bore the na "Alex Austin", which translated phonetically into "Alex Austin".
Without a doubt, the Creator Organization had set their sights on this Thunder God Austin from the Arican Continent.
Rationally considering this invitation, it was not at all surprising.
Because Alex Austin was known as the "Thunder God" in his previous life, his strength truly stood at the pinnacle of the Arican Continent.
From the perspective of the Creator Organization, inviting Alex Austin was completely reasonable.
However, having this invitation handed to Lu Heng made it quite delicate.
Lu Heng lifted the na card and said, "This guy is on the other side of the ocean, I don't take on jobs that far away."
027 spoke calmly, "He won't be far away for long."
Lu Heng frowned and imdiately understood the implication.
His words clearly indicated that Alex Austin would be coming to Da Xia.
This was not an interesting piece of information.
What was his purpose for coming?
It was highly unlikely that a top Eastern Superpower User from the Arican Continent would co to Da Xia for tourism.
Lu Heng placed the invitation back into the envelope, holding it up and said, "I can't invite this guy."
It would already be showing restraint if they didn't co to blows upon eting, let alone inviting the other party to join the organization.
"You are capable of inviting him," 027 emphasized.
Lu Heng frowned and asked, "With what shall I invite him? You haven't given an invitation gift."
According to the habits of the Creator Organization, when they decide to invite soone, they always prepare an item or a condition that the person can't refuse.
Just like the Sealing Card that contained the Soul Capturing Monster, that was an item Hasegawa Tom absolutely couldn't refuse.
027 replied, "You have the invitation gift, and you're the only one who has it."
