Chapter 529: Chapter 524: The Three War Gods of Chaos
The closer she got to the laboratory, the more Ji Ning felt the blood in her veins boiling, as if rejoicing over that faint energy.
She had a premonition in her heart that once she knew what this energy was, many mysteries would be unraveled.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Warning—"
"Ahead is an SSS-level area belonging to the International Energy Organization..."
Ji Ning’s pupils slightly widened, and the rising security devices on the ground instantly self-ignited, emitting plumes of black smoke.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of security devices went defunct, attracting the attention of the energy organization personnel.
But the surveillance footage couldn’t clearly capture who had intruded.
"Alert—"
"S-level alert—"
A piercing air raid siren suddenly rang out from within the mountain.
Ye Xingyan, who was checking information, felt tense and looked up at the Smart Brain, "What’s going on?"
A mechanical voice echoed: "Commander has entered the Energy Organization’s area illegally..."
Ye Xingyan immediately felt a headache, knowing she wouldn’t settle down.
He looked at the Smart Brain for a while and said quietly, "Tell everyone to continue working."
Compared to the calmness over at the Ji Family Army, researchers in other areas were all panicking.
Even Ji Hong, who was undercover somewhere, was nervously gripping his weapon.
But the feared sounds of combat didn’t appear, not even the sound of weapons firing.
Only the piercing alarm sound made people extremely uneasy.
High-level Superpower Users from the Beizhou Bunker Guard Office across all continents raced towards the area where the alarm was first triggered.
The captain of the Twelve Guards was running when he suddenly received a communication from the fifth member.
"Captain, don’t go, it’s the Commander who breached the Energy Organization’s area and triggered the S-level alarm."
The captain immediately stopped, with the second member almost crashing into him from behind, "Boss, what’s wrong?"
"Wrap it up, nothing’s happening."
"Huh?"
"Commander went into another area."
Everyone: ...
***
On the other side.
Ji Ning walked, extinguishing things as she went.
She almost paralyzed all the security systems in the area before seeing the two teams of High-level Superpower Users rushing over.
Their strength was around the Fourteenth Rank, all enhanced by the drugs developed by Ye Xingyan.
Relying on drugs developed by Huazhou people to enhance strength, yet disliking Huazhou people?
What a ridiculous laboratory?
"Move aside..."
Ji Ning said expressionlessly as she walked, completely disregarding these people.
The two teams of High-level Superpower Users all had Outer Continent faces, not a single Huazhou person.
The superpower users present saw this Huazhou woman not only being fearless but scrutinizing them like garbage, which was utterly offensive.
"Halt—"
Everyone looked at Ji Ning with caution and anger, raising their weapons.
Yet the Huazhou woman before them was not afraid at all; her footsteps did not pause, almost colliding with the leading captain at the front.
Such provocative behavior was clearly looking for trouble.
The lead captain pressed the teammate next to him who was about to act and cautiously asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Ji Ning, visiting." Ji Ning stopped two steps away from the lead captain, crossed her arms, and looked at this group of people.
The lead captain heard and raised his guard even higher.
The name Ji Ning was known to them as the supreme Commander of the Ji Family Army, with unfathomable power.
She had just entered the bunker yesterday with the Ji Family Army’s K and Twelve Guards.
"Sorry, you don’t have permission to enter here."
Ji Ning suddenly smiled slightly, "Why? Did you build this bunker?"
The lead captain’s eyes revealed a trace of arrogance and displeasure, "It’s the rules of the bunker. Even if K comes, they must apply in advance and can only enter after approval."
"Rules? Do you know who built this bunker? Who was it affiliated with before the chaotic times?"
Ji Ning lightly raised her head, snapped her fingers, and the lead captain at the front seemed to be hit by a heavy punch, flying back swiftly and crashing into seven or eight team members.
She stepped forward again, speaking as she walked, "Beizhou has always been a neutral area, this bunker was built by Huazhou people and originally belonged to Huazhou. You borrowed our territory to use, and now want to take over and not let us in?"
The captain clutched his aching chest, feeling deeply threatened, "It was established by the bunker manager."
"Bunker manager?" Ji Ning’s smile grew colder, "Who is it? Let me see if I know them."
Before her words could settle, an old voice came from behind these High-level Superpower Users.
"It’s me, Commander Ji..."
Ji Ning sharply looked over, seeing an elder with gray hair, hunched posture but a still relatively youthful face approaching.
The energy fluctuations around him were beyond the Eighteen Rank, and his strength wasn’t drug-enhanced.
This old fellow survived from the chaotic times...
Ji Ning’s eyes gradually showed a hint of caution, "You know me?"
The elder raised an amiable smile, walked next to the group that had fallen, and gestured with his finger to "lift them up."
"Commander Ji, we probably belong to the same era, you may have heard my name, I am Quell Vis."
Ji Ning’s pupils slightly contracted, her aura no longer restrained.
Powerful spiritual power instantly enveloped the elder.
Quell Vis, a member of the South Continent’s Vis family, along with her and John Josen they were known as the three War Gods of the chaotic times.
His power is unfathomable, undefeated, single-handedly reclaiming the entire South Continent’s force.
The current vast domain of the South Continent is thanks to his achievements back then.
During the chaotic times, due to distance, they did not directly confront each other.
Unexpectedly, he wasn’t dead and had lived till now?
"Commander Ji, although we’ve never met before, I admire you greatly, let’s sit down and have a drink." The elder turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Ning nodded slightly, she wasn’t afraid of this old fellow, rather back in those chaotic times he didn’t flaunt like Josen, possessing some reputation for wisdom.
Under his rule, he restrained the superpower users somewhat, allowing the civilians in the South Continent to survive compared to the West Continent.
The elder led Ji Ning to his lounge, had his serving guards fetch two bottles of high-purity liquor, and introduced, "These are good liquors preserved from the chaotic times until now."
"Seems like I’m in for a treat today."
Ji Ning took the liquor, opened the lid, and poured it into the glass before her.
The yellow liquid swirled in the clear glass, carrying a strong scent of alcohol, a whiff of which was somewhat intoxicating.
Ji Ning took a sip, with a hint of barley flavor, not bitter, mellow, with a fiery sensation down the throat.
"Not bad." Ji Ning praised.
The elder also took a big sip, replying with a smile, "Here, a drink warms you up a bit."
"Why are you here?" Ji Ning asked, quite puzzled.
Given his status, he would live a better life in the South Continent, why suffer here?
Besides, his bodily functions were nearing their end, with not many years left.
Not enjoying his retirement well, what’s he doing here?
"Waiting for your return." The elder sighed.
Ji Ning was slightly stunned, not understanding his meaning, the elder continued: "In this world, some are blessed by nature to become rulers, like you. Returning from the chaotic times, albeit later than others, you outlasted many proud successors, becoming the chosen one."
"You know what’s happened to me?" Ji Ning put down the glass, asked with a faint smile.
"Yes, from when Jiuming Mountain exploded, to your mysterious disappearance, to the first returnee, I know it all." The elder’s face bore a serene smile, took another sip of liquor and said, "You have the Power of Space-Time, don’t you?"
Ji Ning regarded him for a moment, not answering but counter-questioned, "Your superpower is the Power of Space-Time?"
The elder shook his head slightly, "I awakened the Time Ability."
Ji Ning was inwardly shocked but maintained a calm facade, "What kind of superpower is that?"
The elder chuckled, "I can see others’ pasts and futures."
Ji Ning gripped the glass more tightly, "So you know about my past?"
"Yes, I’ve seen your past and also your future. That’s why I’m here waiting for your return."
"Return..." Ji Ning took another sip of liquor, as if amused, looking at him, "Waiting for me to return for what?"
"To stop you from doing that dangerous thing."
"You know what I’m going to do?"
The elder swirled his glass, watching the yellow liquid inside, "You’ll go seeking the truth of your childhood, but I can tell you now."
Ji Ning again put the glass down, raising her eyebrows at him.
The elder smiled, "I can tell you now what happened back then, just hoping you won’t throw your life away in vain."
Ji Ning regarded him for a moment, then laughed again, drank the last mouthful of liquor in her glass heavily placed it on the table, and stared directly into the elder’s eyes, as if seeing through the heart.
"Is there something you always miss there?"
