Chapter 1394: Chapter 1392: Hidden Power
[Amber Road-Station]
Combining raw materials provided by the Hyperion Corporation with technical support from the robot Little Yellow, a highly precise and sufficiently covert “telescope” was crafted.
Designed specifically for Han Dong, to be used in tandem with the [Demon Eye].
Such a device would allow Han Dong to observe the specific circumstances of the battle from the outer periter without having to be directly involved in the war.
The mont the Beheading King returned, Han Dong broke out in a cold sweat.
“As expected, the Beheading King who was trapped in the Secret Room didn’t struggle throughout, he was quietly waiting for the right mont… The device designed by Handso Jack to trap King Levels might be unreliable in design, but its functionality could definitely limit [The King].
To break free, an equivalent price must be paid.
The detachnt of the carriage must have been noticed by the Beheading King, who seized the opportunity and forcefully slashed through it.
What’s even more terrifying is that the Beheading King’s obsession with [Slash] is too pure… during his restraint, his power boundary had actually increased, and the force of his casual slash earlier was much stronger than when he fought against us.”
After much thought, Han Dong accepted the situation before him.
Han Dong’s purpose in venturing out was to seize ‘control over Hyperion’… Even in the presence of the enemy kings, he still achieved his goal, and even managed to delay the Beheading King’s arrival on the battlefield by a full thirty minutes.
Quickly.
The tily return of Marlon and the Death God let Han Dong breathe a sigh of relief.
Han Dong also seriously watched the King Level battle that took place outside the city, with Marlon displaying strength far beyond what was anticipated, terrifyingly so.
Additionally, another extrely important detail was observed by Han Dong – the “Space Gem”.
“Indeed, the enemy never intended to capture London City in one fell swoop.
After the enemy’s Mythic Body withdrew the defenses in London, they remained idle by the side of the gem… once Marlon and the Death God arrived, they carried the gem and hid underground.
It appears that the earliest units entering the city, the ‘suicide squads,’ aid to gather intelligence on the Inner city, after all, in their eyes, London is a ‘Demon stronghold’.
The King holding the ‘World Network’ should be able to integrate the information from all squads ultra-fast, quickly compiling comprehensive intelligence on London City.
Due to the [Balance Principle], the number of Kings on both sides will eventually result in a situation of mutual Restriction.
Since the enemy did not seize the plan, attacking and breaking through London before Marlon and the Death God returned… The real decision power will lie with the Mythic Bodies and the main forces…
I estimate that once a ‘standoff’ forms between the Kings, the enemy will definitely launch a full-out attack.”
Thinking this far, Han Dong hesitated for a long ti and made an important decision.
Since Han Dong’s neural connection was always linked with Green and Miss Helen, sharing the vision of the telescope… Green was continuously amazed by the battle between the Kings, especially the strength displayed by the human Kings, excitedly shaking all over without getting bored and wanting to rush to the battlefield.
Han Dong turned his head, looking seriously at the two of them.
“Green, you and Miss Helen use the spacious underground mines to sneak back to London City from the south side… Be sure to avoid the hostile Mythic Bodies.
We have to set out now, we must return to London before the enemy’s all-out attack comnces.
It’s not enough to be led by [The Third Elent – Aslan] alone; you Ten Elents must all defend within the city.
The enemy’s forthcoming full attack will definitely have a trick up its sleeve that we aren’t aware of, and if there are any problems with our internal defenses, the frontline could be compressed to the Inner city in a short ti.
However, if you, Green, and Miss Helen return, bringing back the intelligence we’ve gathered here, we can certainly formulate counterasures.”
Green didn’t care either way, as fighting will be the sa inside or outside the city… Compared to the Beheading King he’s already had his fun with, he was more inclined to go inside the city to have a go at the other Kings.
Helen was very much in agreent with Han Dong’s proposal, with the hundreds of tiny Skeleton heads forming her skull nodding in unison.
Han Dong continued, “At the right mont, I will coordinate with another squad lurking outside, the ‘Black River,’ to apply pressure from the outside… See you later.”
The robot Little Yellow had quickly created an efficient, quiet, and secret manned drilling machine using the workbench.
Hyperion Corporation used such machinery when they covertly mined for ytterbium ore.
Before leaving, Green poked the hole in the shoulder socket, “If you’re in danger, use the sa thod to call … Don’t you dare die, this play can’t go on without you.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
The drilling rig bearing the Hyperion Corporation emblem successfully transported them back to London City in secrecy.
Not long after.
Just as Han Dong had guessed.
A mutual restriction among the kings gradually took shape, and the war node arrived as expected.
The enemy’s Mythic Bodies and Space Gems started to erge from underground… but sothing was off.
Just from the visual images obtained through the telescope, Han Dong could tell there was a difference.
“What’s going on, the Mythic Bodies feel slightly different from before… there’s an indescribable sense of danger.”
However, before he could figure this out, another troubleso matter appeared.
Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of beams descended near the different Space Gems, far exceeding Han Dong’s expectations in number.
But what was truly frightening was not their quantity, but the personal state of the soldiers… their appearance differed from the known “Four Great Worlds,” with so strange energy mixed within them.
At that mont, the robot Little Yellow raised its hands and spun around frantically in place.
“Oh! My heavens!
Have these guys been to the Hidden Space already? That’s impossible… The ‘Hidden Power’ was completely absorbed by Handso Jack long ago, so how could it fall into their hands.
We’re dood now!”
“What Hidden Power?”
“The real hidden treasure in Pandora, different from ytterbium ore.
It’s a treasure that can rapidly grow an individual and bestow them with ‘super body,’ the ultimate treasure that countless Treasure Hunters risk their lives for just to co to Pandora in pursuit of it.
Even the production of ytterbium ore is closely related to the Hidden Power, and many scholars believe that ytterbium ore is a super-technological material created when ordinary ore is exposed to the radiation from the Hidden Power.
However, there is only one real Hidden Power, and it has already been obtained by Handso Jack.
You must have seen it too, boss. Jack’s seemingly common attacks can turn into powerful strikes capable of destroying cities, or even satellites.
This is the power bestowed by the Hidden Power, known as the ‘super body’.”
“That is indeed…” Han Dong recalled the scene of Handso Jack firing with a common revolver; a seemingly ordinary shot that was undoubtedly fatal once it hit.
“Since there’s only one Hidden Power, these guys shouldn’t be able to get a second one, right? Otherwise, the arms company that once ruled over Pandora would have already gotten it.
Besides, these soldiers do indeed look special, but they are far from being as terrifying as Jack.
If I had to guess, what they have is not the real Hidden Power, but rather ‘residuals of the Hidden Power’ collected through scientific technology, that is, the portions that Jack failed to fully absorb or even expelled from his body.
These residues were then replicated within the chanical soldiers using existing technological ans.”
Little Yellow also quickly cald down; indeed, the soldiers in the footage were not as exaggerated as having obtained the Hidden Power, but rely had so luminescent lines on their surfaces that symbolized the Hidden Power.
“Yes! Otherwise, this war really wouldn’t end… I got nervous! After all, the day Handso Jack got the ‘Hidden Power’ left
with so psychological shadows.”
Han Dong’s gaze turned grim, “Though they are just residues, they can still bring improvents to so extent and even grant so new powers.
It was a wise decision to send Green and Miss Helen back earlier. The Inner City district will face a lot of pressure now.
Almost ti! We should get ready to move…”
