Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1778 Unwavering Conviction

“Whether you believe it or not, I’ve been ready from beginning to end to fulfill the promise I made decades ago. For the Blood Alliance, for the continuation of Dragon City civilization, I will sacrifice everything, including my life, my reputation, and the companies under my name,” the gray-haired office worker said casually.

“I have never regarded you as a chess piece. You are a like-minded partner and also my successor.

“After all, I’m old, and I’ve suffered such a heavy blow. The Blood Alliance is destined to lurk in the darkness for another ten years or even longer. Even if it makes a comeback one day, I won’t be able to see it.

“No matter what, I have to find a qualified successor for the cause that I’ve fought for over the decades, and that successor is you. It can only be you, Yun Feidian.”

The gray-haired office worker sounded indescribably tired, like an old man who was about to die.

Nevertheless, his sincere attitude did not dispel Yun Feidian’s wariness.

“I really want to believe you.”

“However, I don’t understand. Things are chaotic out there, and we need you to take charge of the situation. Why did you follow me here alone instead of participating in the feast of dividing Thundercloud Technology?” Yun Feidian said coldly.

The gray-haired office worker looked over Yun Feidian’s shoulder and at the military backpack behind him.

Yun Feidian laughed as expected and tightened the straps of the military backpack in front of his chest.

“If you’re truly not treating me as a chess piece but a partner or even a successor as you said, you don’t have to worry about this at all.

“I’m not an idiot,” Yun Feidian said. “I won’t threaten you with the scraps of the super crystal bomb unless I have no other choice.

“As long as you keep in mind the covenant between us and the Blood Alliance’s mission, is it necessary for me to drag you down with this evidence?

“Ultimately, a high and mighty Deity Realm warrior, the helmsman of a super company, and a highly respected senior is much more useful to our cause and my safety than a disgraced old dog that’s hated by everyone, isn’t it?”

“I’ve fought for my oath and mission all my life. I won’t betray my life’s work when I’m about to die,” the gray-haired office worker said.

“It’s meaningless to leave such evidence behind. It will only lead to the most thorough failure and destruction if someone catches us.”

“That’s not necessarily true. If there’s any lesson that I’ve learned from the battles and games in the past decades, it’s that I shouldn’t trust any human being easily, including myself.”

Yun Feidian said, “Compared to monsters, human beings are ever-changing intelligent creatures who are too mysterious. Most of the time, we don’t even know ourselves 100%, especially when we’re faced with a life-and-death decision. We can change into a completely different person at any moment.

“Perhaps, in the past decades, you were indeed loyal to your oath and your mission, and you sacrificed everything for the Blood Alliance.

“But who can guarantee that you won’t completely lose confidence in the Blood Alliance because of this failure? You might even believe what Meng Chao said.

“After all, fate seems to favor Meng Chao, the divine warrior who descended from the sky and turned the tide. There’s hope that he can lead humanity to the final victory and create a new tomorrow for Dragon City’s civilization.

“When you saw the sunrise and Meng Chao’s limitless potential, you felt like you’ve been walking down the wrong path for most of your life. You were determined to ‘come to a sudden realization’ and change for the better. In fact, you even had a strong desire to ‘atone for your sins.’ What’s so strange about that?

“At the end of the day, you and the interest groups behind you didn’t suffer many losses in the blow. It isn’t too late to turn back now!

“The three pieces of super crystal bomb scraps that I took at such a great risk are nothing more than insurance to help you strengthen your will and carry out your beliefs. That’s all!”

The gray-haired office worker sighed softly.

“You don’t understand. No matter how many times I fail, no matter how awe-inspiring Meng Chao is when he descends before us, I won’t believe in his tricks.”

His tone was calm, but it contained a faint hint of sorrow. “Meng Chao and those people who believe that ‘superhumans are the blades of human civilization, and the blood of the strong should flow for the weak’ can neither bring victory to Dragon City, nor create a tomorrow for Dragon City. Only the Blood Alliance has hope, even if it’s a one in a billion chance.

“I will fight to the end for this one-in-a-billion chance of hope.

“That’s exactly why I can’t allow you to leave with the scraps of the super crystal bomb, which will be a threat in the future!”

Before he even finished his words, an invisible hand seemed to lift the military backpack on Yun Feidian’s back up high.

Pa pa!

The extremely tough back strap made of Armored Rhinoceros skin was instantly torn apart, but Yun Feidian did not even blink.

What looked like several dozen cold rays of light shot out of his fingertips and tightly wrapped around the backpack, which was floating in the air.

They were strands of extremely strong, hair-thin nano-metal wire.

Each strand was less than 0.5 mm in diameter, but it could bear a few tons or maybe even several dozen tons of weight.

One end of the nano metal wires was wrapped around Yun Feidian’s arm. His arm guard was made of special monster leather and inlaid with metal materials to protect his arm from being cut.

Meanwhile, the other end had already pierced through the military backpack and wrapped the super crystal bomb’s three shards repeatedly, making sure that the key evidence would not leave his side.

Shua shua shua shua!

As the nanometal wires were stretched taut, the military backpack was immediately cut into pieces. The pieces were blown away by the spirit energy ripples that were surging like tides and scattered around them.

The scraps of the super crystal bombs were now floating between the two individuals. When they got slightly closer to Yun Feidian, they began to spin like tops under the extreme pulling force from both sides.

The gray-haired office worker did not expect Yun Feidian to be so cautious.

He narrowed his eyes, and his face darkened.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! With his foot as the center, enormous cracks appeared and spread in all directions.

As the cracks traveled into the darkness around the cave, the stalactites, rocks, and walls that were dormant in the shadows all rumbled. It was as if countless monsters had awakened from the rock stratum that were as hard as iron, and they were breathing and roaring with soul-stirring voices.

When the roars gathered, it sounded more like the entire natural cave had come to life and turned into the bloody mouth of an enormous prehistoric beast!
