"Good!"
The crowd raised their glasses with smiles on their faces.
...
Federation Government Administrative Building·Office.
Farren faced off against Gakels with a face full of anger.
"Gakels, donât go too far! Youâve already captured Luo Kui, and now you really plan to send him to the Divine Word Court?"
"What else? He openly defied the Councilâs orders, set a very bad example, someone has to be held accountable, I shouldnât have to explain this to you further."
Gakels explained with frustration.
"I donât care, release my son immediately."
Farren said angrily.
"This matter is beyond my authority, even my words donât hold much sway with those at the Divine Word Court."
Gakels shook his head and replied.
"Then Iâll find the Council Chairman!"
Farren slammed his palm on the table.
"Arenât you being unreasonable? The Council Chairman is recuperating, and youâre troubling him with such matters? And you know what the Chairmanâs personality is like, donât you?"
Gakels responded as his expression slightly changed.
Just as Farren was about to respond to Gakels, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the administrative building.
"Whatâs going on? Enemy attack?"
Both were taken aback.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Yun Rou hurried in to report.
"Sir, somethingâs happened!"
"Whatâs the situation?"
"All Federation systems have been subjected to an unknown invasion."
"Quickly contact Xi Guang Laboratory to handle it!"
Gakelsâ face changed drastically.
"Already contacted, theyâre handling it."
Yun Rou immediately reported.
"Hmph, weâve spent so much funding, and yet the system can still be invaded, donât you find it laughable?"
Upon hearing this, Farren said irritably.
"Alright, letâs resolve the issue first."
Gakels was extremely frustrated, finding it difficult to get any peace for even a few days.
....
Su Family Castle·Dining Room.
Su Ming and the others were talking and laughing, enjoying their meal.
Suddenly, the crystal lights on the ceiling flickered, and the projection equipment in the dining room activated by itself.
Swoosh!
A holographic projection screen popped up.
"Whatâs going on?"
"Is the projection equipment broken? Why did it activate on its own?"
...
Su Ze and the others were also taken aback.
Su Ming saw this scene, and his expression gradually became heavy, sensing something was amiss. The Su Family certainly wasnât lacking in money, all their equipment was undoubtedly top-notch.
It was even military-grade, with an extremely low probability of malfunction.
In fact, it wasnât just the Su Familyâs projection equipment that was activated; almost all image devices within the Federation had been activated.
At this moment, in the projected image, a young man dressed in a black mechanical sect robe appeared, with pale skin, a gaunt face, and eyes full of evil.
Su Ming and the others watched the appearance of the young man without making a sound.
The young man spoke hoarsely.
"I am Yomi, the Sect Hierarch of the Mechanical Sect, and today I want to tell everyone a very brutal fact."
Upon hearing this, Su Ming and others felt apprehensive, nerves tightened while staring at Yomi.
What massive issue does this guy intend to provoke?
When everyoneâs nerves were stretched to the limit, Yomi said hoarsely.
"Humanity is already extinct."
These words triggered countless viewers to sneer and curse.
"Lunatic!"
"If humanity is extinct, why am I still alive, am I not human?"
"Damn idiot, wasting my time."
...
This time, Yomi said expressionlessly.
"I am not joking with you, all the upper echelons are monsters now, and you are just tools ruled by monsters. So I say humanity is extinct! You can go check, all the upper echelons are either mutated creatures due to Genetic Potion, or descendants born from these monsters, so-called New Humans! They are inherently intelligent, possess longer lifespans, stronger power, and better appearance than ordinary humans!"
"You canât compare to them at all, your starting line is different, and thereâs no such thing as fairness. Your whole life will only be spent living at the lowest level, serving as cannon fodder and sustenance! Your descendants will merely be cattle and horses raised in captivity."
.....
Originally sneering citizens were stunned, their faces full of bewilderment.
Some even spoke in agreement.
"I think heâs making sense, how can we compete with those New Humans?"
"Exactly, I work myself to exhaustion studying, getting 90 out of 100 is already pretty good, while those New Humans easily score 99 or 100."
"Itâs not fair!"
...
At this moment, Yomi continued his speech to everyone.
"Are you angry, resentful? Feel deceived but powerless to resist? If so, I can offer you a way out, and thatâs to join our Mechanical Sect, the great Mechanical God will grant you divine blessings. Allowing you to become smart, knowledgeable in an instant, thereby defying fate and achieving the pinnacle of life."
Yomi swore confidently to everyone.
"Is that incredible, that miraculous?"
"Really?"
"If itâs true, I would accept, Iâve long had enough of working all my life just to struggle for meals."
...
Some people said longingly.
"Of course, the benefits of joining the Mechanical Sect donât stop there, if you perform well, the all-knowing and omnipotent Mechanical God will also grant you endless wealth, great power, even eternal life...."
Yomi desperately tempted.
....
In the Federation Administrative Building·Office.
Farren watched the enticement images, angrily picking up Gakelsâ cup and smashing it to the ground.
