International support was in place.
The weapons were about to be in place.
Ideological mobilization was in place.
Next, there was nothing to fear.
Tactical deficiencies could be compensated for by strategic ans. After returning from the Red Arrow Embassy, Li Aozi did not reorganize. Upon seeing that his drug cooler had arrived, he directly injected himself with a new Arcane Awakening Elixir.
This was his third injection.
The elixir was slow to take effect and rarely produced Arcane Energy. After obtaining the "Mountain Armor," during the second injection, Li Aozi only acquired a Delta Level Arcane Energy "Color Extraction," which could be used for invisibility and changing the color of touched objects.
Unfortunately, this Arcane Energy was useless to Li Aozi. He directly crushed it and fed the Gene Fragnts to "Spontaneous Combustion."
Qiu Ran’s Arcane potential was high, and the Gravitational Arcane Energy would not be very useful in the upcoming battle; every little bit could help.
The option for a perfect Mutation was very interesting.
"Gene Integration, Quantum Information Hub": The Gene Sequence is reassembled—ti to integrate the ssy neural system, fully optimize your brain’s signal transmission capacity, and the brain’s quantum computing effects will expand to every cell. The brain will no longer be considered your ’fatal weakness’; your entire body can act as brain cells for storage and calculation, allowing you to maintain thought and action capacity even if your brain is damaged.
By choosing to retain this trait, you can fuse Arcane Energy inside your body and impart synthesized Arcane Energy to others through cell transplantation.
This was a very important Mutation Direction that usually only appeared at the Gamma Phase, but having it now was extrely effective for Li Aozi.
Li Aozi’s Blood Demon Style was only missing one Arcane Energy, "Death Link," which could be synthesized using two Beta Rank "Physical Strengthening" and "Neural Wiring."
"I’ll slowly work on the Mutation once I’m back. Priority now is to advance to Beta Rank as quickly as possible."
Li Aozi thought about it and made a video call to Alicxia.
"Dear, do you miss already?"
Alicxia smiled brightly at the cara, but from her surroundings, she was assembling with the Resistance Army troops.
"Alicxia, I’ve finished delivering the letter. Next, I need to do sothing. After you assemble the troops, head straight to Sulut Palace. We need to assassinate the Duke."
Li Aozi then briefly outlined the plan.
Alicxia blinked and said,
"Hmm, that’s good, but I have a question."
"Are you confused about sothing?"
"A little." Alicxia pointed at herself, her dark gold eyes twinkling: "What did you call ?"
"Alic—uh," Li Aozi’s mouth twitched: "Let’s talk about this later."
"Pfft—people from 500 years later are too shy," Alicxia placed her hand on her chest and said, "Alicxia is just my formal na. For our relationship, a nickna would be better."
"So what should I call you?" Li Aozi asked helplessly.
Alicxia, with her hands behind her back, said, "My family calls ’Elise’—want to try it?"
"Elise sounds a bit too cute, like a little girl," Li Aozi remarked.
"Then, am I not cute?" Alicxia turned the cara around, intentionally making a stern face and gave a scissor gesture, "Am I not cute, or not a ’little girl’?"
"Don’t keep such a stern face, you look like a cute little girl when you smile," Li Aozi scratched his chin: "This battle originally had nothing to do with you. I admire you, Alic—Elise."
Alicxia stared at him and said:
"The injustices and oppression encountered by people are not just a few individuals’ enemies but the enemies of humanity as a whole. There’s nothing to admire; I’m just extending my belief in my way, trying to find the aning of my existence."
"The aning of existence." Li Aozi was speechless: "Your thought level is too high; I’m still stuck at getting so fries at the dock every day."
"However," Alicxia looked deeply at Li Aozi: "Perhaps for , the aning of existence extends beyond that now."
Li Aozi’s gaze was complicated, and he feigned a chuckle, saying:
"Don’t say things that sound like you’ll die. I’m begging you; I’ve already seen two girls die like this."
"I won’t die," Alicxia said. "I carry the expectation and ideals of many, so I have to survive, and I want you to survive with ."
Li Aozi opened his mouth, his limited vocabulary unsure of how to respond.
After a long silence, Li Aozi couldn’t help saying:
"—Nowadays, people are indeed far behind the ancients in so respects."
Alicxia smiled, giving a refreshing feeling.
After hanging up the call, Li Aozi stood at a crossroads, watching the martial law-enforced military, the cold sunlight falling on his shoulder, feeling nothing pleasant.
"Living on carrying the expectations and ideals of many..."
The surveillance cara’s lens slowly rotated, drones flew around in the air, seemingly having spotted him, but the next mont, the spot where Li Aozi stood was empty.
For him, there was still a more important task at hand.
"Bemudes’s target is to raid and occupy the city, and the best cover is darkness."
