Ti passed like a fleeting horse.
Wei Tianyang’s Black dicine had been researched by the Council Army for over a year. During this period, the unit had changed its na, rebranding itself as the Human Alliance Army, to decisively break away from those politicians.
They had steadily taken in nurous military forces that had grown disillusioned with their national governnts and, as a result, abandoned their holands, even including so Superpower Special Forces.
The Human Alliance Army was unwaveringly preparing for a decisive battle, and ultimately, they were bound to confront Wei Tianyang in an uncompromising showdown, with absolute refusal to surrender to him.
This was not a matter of good versus evil, but a brutal war over the right to survival between two species. Commander Lu had co to deeply understand this and had completely realized that those politicians would never comprehend; even now, they still harbored fantasies about negotiating with Wei Tianyang.
The Human Alliance had only its army left. In this disconnected era, without satellites, communication systems relied on balloons, and pilots could only use their eyes to navigate fighter planes in the sky. Besides, once they entered the Red Zone, flying was akin to signing one’s own death warrant, as the scorching sunlight would selectively burn away all intruders, rendering jet fighters and missiles aningless.
Likewise, the navy faced similar constraints. Ships and submarines approaching Heisai State at sea would be instantly dragged under, and without satellite navigation, all intercontinental missiles failed to achieve precise, long-range strikes and could only blindly fire. Not to ntion the sa sunlight that would nearly burn through anything flying in the sky.
Therefore, they had solely their army. In the 22nd century, the form of human warfare had regressed to that of the 19th century, relying on combat lines to push forward, except this ti, the soldiers were endowed with superpowers.
After more than a year of research by the army’s scientific departnt, Wei Tianyang’s Black dicine had made initial progress. The bad news was that there wasn’t a trace of superpower in the Black dicine... The technicians speculated that Wei Tianyang had completely absorbed the superpower from the Black dicine, which was why He dared to expel it.
The good news was that the Black dicine, having been inside Wei Tianyang’s body, might have been influenced by His energy radiation, containing certain traits similar to His own. This entire container of Black dicine might not bestow any superpowers but could serve as a kind of adhesive to absorb other Black dicines’ superpowers, mixing into a special multi-superpower Black dicine.
Of course, the good news wasn’t so great either. The Human Alliance Army was now a guerrilla force, and while so wealthy benefactors were secretly providing financial support, they couldn’t obtain enough dicine People to experint with the Black dicine.
Morally unacceptable, and the conditions not permitting, there was only this one container of Wei Tianyang’s Black dicine, nearly 92 liters. Although a re one hundred milligrams could be used as an adhesive, if one considered the consumption for experints, there wouldn’t be enough to form a significant number of superpower special forces, and any waste was intolerable.
Commander Lu was eting with the military’s senior officers for 20 continuous hours at this mont, and there was still no consensus on how to utilize the Black dicine. Chief Black dicine Scientist Feng Nuoyi was arguing with genetic engineering expert Wang Yu.
Wang Yu advocated further diluting Wei Tianyang’s Black dicine to link to more, albeit weaker, superpowers. This way, more superpowered soldiers could be created.
Feng Nuoyi proposed the opposite: reduce the number of soldiers but increase their quality by upping the Black dicine dosage to link to more triad-level skills, thus creating superpower users capable of rivalling Wei Tianyang.
Viewed from the perspective of Black dicine usage, Wang Yu’s approach was clearly more rational. The weaker the Black dicine, the less strain on people, and after dilution, there were also increased quantities available.
Feng Nuoyi’s plan was extrely radical. For now, the Human Army Alliance lacked the capacity to provide the necessary dicine People for Feng Nuoyi’s needs because frail humans couldn’t withstand even one triad-level dicine’s devastation, let alone the ultimate Black dicine made from hundreds or thousands of connected triad dicines. This concoction could instantly kill a robust warrior; the experintation process was too cruel, the investnt to return ratio too low, and despite the appealing promise of successful individuals, it was far too pie in the sky.
Commander Lu was sowhat fatigued. He was getting too old and his body gradually couldn’t handle such intense etings. As the debate between both sides grew intractable, he leaned back in his chair and began to doze off.
Price, now an elder statesman of the special enforcent squad, was also attending the eting. He had grown old, his physical condition no longer allowing him to perform field duties, leaving him to lead the special squads at the rear using his experience.
"His Black dicine can’t afford to be wasted, but I also don’t think that diluting it to create more soldiers is a good idea. Our intelligence agents have reported back that He has built a sizable legion in just one year. If we can’t swiftly initiate an offensive, this war will only beco harder to fight, and besides, creating weaker superpowered warriors would be useless. We won’t have a nurical advantage," Price said.
"Do you support Feng Nuoyi’s plan?" Wang Yu asked.
"I don’t agree with him either. The pharmaceutical companies have been doing this for decades. By all accounts, at least a billion dicine People have died in experints, yet to this date, the global number of superpower special forces is only in the hundreds of thousands. We don’t have the low human rights advantage of the pharmaceutical companies; morally, it’s untenable, and even if we set aside those concerns, we don’t have enough people to experint with. The chance of success is slim," Price said.
"But if we succeed with just one... Price, think about it, we could create another Him! Even if we only had one, we’d have a chance at success!" Feng Nuoyi said.
"Create another Him... And then what? After that, are we going to fight them again? It’s a vicious cycle, Feng Nuoyi. We’ve already created one monster; now, do we create more?" Price asked.
"Power is neither good nor evil; it depends on who wields it. He is a demon, but our soldiers aren’t. To create a battalion of super warriors who can tear Him to shreds, destroy Him—that is their mission! Scourge! Fight to the end! Until our mission is accomplished!!" Feng Nuoyi said through gritted teeth.
"We are different from Him. If we beco like Him, we’ve put the cart before the horse." Wang Yu said.
"By losing humanity, we lose a lot. But without the beast within, we lose everything! Humanity is facing a disaster of epic proportions, yet you all hesitate!" Feng Nuoyi pointed at Wang Yu angrily.
"What you’re creating is not super soldiers, but beasts," Price said.
"Far beyond beasts, Price, far beyond beasts... they are Human Shuras... the swords to destroy the Pseudo-God. We’re confronting all the evil that Hell could summon and all the sins humanity could craft! He is Hell, Price! He is our Hell, and only a demon can rip Him apart!" Feng Nuoyi declared.
