Chapter 1144: Chapter 143: Giant Beast (23)
Li Ang ignored the strange looks from others and continued, "Humans have limits, but heroes are limitless.
The heroic spirit of heaven and earth remains awe-inspiring through the ages, saving the people from disaster and uplifting them from despair.
Mere mortals fear death, hesitate in the face of fate, waver when making crucial decisions, and doubt themselves during their journey forward,
this is an inescapable part of human physiology and a result of society’s long-term impact on everyone’s worldview and values.
Heroes, on the other hand, are pure, untainted, and polarized.
The latter can unleash the potential of the A.T. Force Field more effectively than the former."
"..."
The Black Trojan and Dawn fell silent upon hearing this, simultaneously recalling a term in their minds—Superhuman Philosophy.
In Nietzsche’s philosophy, a superhuman transcends oneself and the weak. Pure, resolute, capable of enduring suffering, with a strong desire for power, never satisfied, adventurous, absolutely free yet selfish, loyal only to oneself, supremely confident, embodying truth and morality, setting standards and morals for others.
In the real world, with the progression of the Game of Slaughter, the superhuman philosophy began to rise among certain groups,
The Black Trojan and Dawn, although considered strong in their own right, having accomplished great feats in different worlds,
even they recognized that they were far from being pure superhumans—at least they lacked Li Ang’s ability, determination, and courage to use biological weapons to threaten the entire world.
"...Is that so?"
General Stake and others instinctively glanced at the smiling Hansen father and son, saying, "Then what about the original Chaq and Kelly..."
"They’re still there, of course,"
Li Ang casually waved his hand, "I’m not the kind of person who enjoys manipulating hearts and twisting others’ minds at will.
The Hansen father and son just experienced a slight change in their thinking, but they are essentially still themselves."
...Yes, you’re not a bad person, just someone threatening humanity’s extinction with weapons of mass destruction.
General Stake and others cursed inwardly but then heard Li Ang continue, "By the way, you can start preparing."
"Hmm? Preparing for what?"
"The next wave of attacks."
Li Ang calmly said, "I just checked the Ridgeback Turtle’s brain and found something very interesting.
The Ridgeback Turtle and Tail Rat are just the first wave, meant to attract the attention of the PPDC and weaken humanity’s viable forces as much as possible.
The real goal of the deep sea civilization is to deploy a massive army of Giant Beasts in a few hours, wiping out humanity’s coastal military bases in one fell swoop,
to complete their strategic plan of conquering the Earth.
You can check the spatial energy fluctuations near Manila, the time is almost up."
"What?!"
General Stake and others’ faces changed drastically,
Hermann rushed to the computer desk, disregarding his crooked glasses, and quickly tapped the keyboard more than ten times to pull up the underwater sensors near Guam.
"Hiss..."
Hermann turned pale and took a sharp breath, "Ma... Manila’s west side indeed shows spatial energy fluctuation reactions."
"What level is it?"
General Stake tightly pressed his lips, watching Hermann’s entire face pressed against the screen and not getting a response, he again sternly asked, "What level is it!"
"...Five levels."
Hermann squeezed out a word with difficulty from between his teeth, "At least."
He heavily pressed the enter key on the keyboard, and the computer screen was immediately projected on the screen of the command hall.
Only to see in the radar overlook map of the Pacific, a glaring red glow flashing over Manila,
even overshadowing the lights of the command hall, casting a red hue on the faces of everyone present.
Unfortunately, this is not the stock market; it’s the bridgehead concerning human survival.
General Stake clenched his fist tightly,
Based on the energy readings on the screen, the AI determined this spatial fluctuation as level 5 because humanity has only set a level 5 standard at most.
"Higher than all the spatial energy fluctuations in the four years of monster wars combined..."
Newton Geizler murmured to himself, considering himself a monster fan, a desperately hopeless expression appeared on his face, "Is this the final battle?"
"From the current situation, that’s indeed the case."
Li Ang said indifferently, "When two unknown civilizations that are relatively equal in power collide, the most important thing is intelligence gathering.
Once intelligence is collected,
the power gap is assessed, the advantages and disadvantages of both technological systems are summarized, using one’s strengths to strike the other’s weaknesses,
ultimately achieving a decisive victory, without giving the opponent any useful information for intelligence gathering or counterattack.
When it comes to civilization wars, the deep sea civilization indeed has more experience than you all—
this can be seen from their main race never showing up, only using biological weapons for combat, and this sudden massive attack."
"...Hermann,"
General Stake slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How much time do we have left."
"The spatial energy fluctuation readings exceed all previous cases, so past experiences may not be accurate."
Hermann quickly said, "It is estimated that in 20 to 48 hours, the deep sea creatures will start transmitting over.
The total amount this time is simply too large, almost impossible to be a single deep-sea giant beast,
most likely a huge army composed of multiple deep-sea creatures."
"Cai Tiantong, you lead a team to repair the Eureka Raider and install the new Blade Projection Knife.
Mori Masako, you inform the Manila side to immediately evacuate the local population, cruise ships, cargo ships, fishing boats, no matter what method they use, try to evacuate as many people as possible in the shortest time."
General Stake issued orders to his subordinates without the slightest pause, then turned to the PPDC Liaison, "Contact the high-level officials of various countries; I am requesting an immediate video conference."
"Alright."
Facing the brink of human survival, the Liaison, who often doesn’t get along with General Stake, disregarded his minor gains and immediately made calls, contacting the higher-ups.
"Next..."
General Stake slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at Li Ang,
Li Ang already knew what the other party was about to say and said in advance, "It’s not enough."
General Stake was taken aback, "Hmm?"
"Since the deep-sea civilization dares to initiate the final war, it shows they have gathered enough intelligence and believe they are confident to achieve complete victory in one stroke—
they don’t need to kill all humans, just destroy some of humanity’s production and construction facilities, and eliminate humanity’s war potential."
Li Ang said calmly, "With humanity’s current overall strength, it’s not enough to achieve victory in this attack."
"Then what should we..."
"Gather all the pilots you can and find all the mechas you can."
Li Ang smiled slightly, "Let me give them some emergency training."
