In the conference room, all the Parliant mbers were solemnly analyzing the enemy.
"We've translated their language. Their country is called the 'Super Iron Curtain,' and these soldiers seem to be like biochemical-modified humans..." One mber placed intelligence hurriedly compiled by the research institute on the screen.
They saw a large amount of physiological paraters of those Hell Vanguard Army soldiers and gasped, followed by a comparison between them and the Giant Beasts.
"Those invaders really resemble humanoid Giant Beasts..." soone remarked.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention. Humanoid Giant Beasts, they had them too, but only two, and one of them was critically injured and still in the ergency room.
As for the other one, he strongly insisted on being injected with the Super Beast Serum. He'd already injected one dose of an inactivated serum and began absorbing a large amount of flesh from other Giant Beasts.
"Perhaps, those enemies are essentially humanoid Giant Beasts, and the technology on those Giant Beasts and the technology on them are fundantally the sa. After all, the source of our thousands of years of suffering and the origin of the Giant Beasts was caused by them." The door opened, and Cloud Star walked in, wearing inappropriate-fitting clothes.
Despite his young age, the power he exuded and the aura belonging to the Giant Beasts made it impossible for people to underestimate him. Just standing here, everyone saw him as the next Monarch.
The youngest Monarch in history.
"Your Excellency Cloud Star, your body..."
"Don't worry, it was expected, much easier than imagined." He smiled, looking at the screen and then at the highest-ranking mbers of humankind.
Nearly half of them were ordinary people, while most of the remaining Spiritual Ability Users were Tier One Spiritual Ability Users, with only a dozen being Tier Two.
However, for humans now, the old ratings of Spiritual Ability Users didn't matter. In the new system, perhaps in a few hundred years, or even just a few decades, they could have a reginted army that could control the power of the Giant Beasts.
By then, to deal with those invaders, they even had the confidence to fight back. However, ti was too short, and the invaders wouldn't give them ti to develop.
They can only fight!
"Ladies and gentlen, in facing the next wave of invaders, I propose using nuclear weapons." Cloud Star looked at the Parliantary President, a middle-aged man who nodded, understanding his plan.
"The power of Zero Number is beyond our current understanding, so we can't place hope on that power, which could be lost at any ti. Thus, I suggest we directly use nuclear weapons in our next ambush!" His voice echoed in the Parliant Hall.
"Moreover, learn from this lesson, we must prepare several nuclear weapons this ti to respond to this war."
...
Super Iron Curtain, Command Center.
"Second Squad and Third Squad went silent one by one. They operated on that planet for several hours, but still found no sign of civilization, only endless ruins, and finally, only the encounter with those Super Beasts made them lose contact." The Intelligence Officer reported.
This was intelligence that had been distorted and modified. The truth was that as soon as these two squads arrived, they were wiped out. The first squad didn't even know who the enemy was before being annihilated by explosions and flas.
Although the intelligence they brought back aligned with expectations, the cautious commander hesitated to launch a full military offensive.
For him, conquering a new planet and controlling those Giant Beasts was an incomparable achievent, the greatest leverage for his bid for the next presidential election.
But if he carelessly provoked the ddling Interstellar Corps folks, not only his presidential aspirations would be dood, but he might have to publicly apologize to the entire Super Iron Curtain, possibly through seppuku.
"General, should we continue sending people to gather intelligence, or launch a direct military attack? The Giant Beasts there aren't easy to handle, many are comparable to the Magical Motive Armor level." The Intelligence Officer cautiously prompted.
"The last reconnaissance squad, send a squad equipped with Magical Motive Armor this ti. The Magical Motive Armor unit is our most elite combat force. If they could be attacked by those beasts, these aren't ordinary beasts; they're clearly Evil Beasts threatening universal peace! We must strike a heavy blow!"
"Understood! Loyalty!"
After the Intelligence Officer left, the General looked at the screen displaying the terrifying cha— their technological pinnacle, a strategic weapon capable of scorching a continent, the ultimate weapon for this operation.
Thinking of this, the General couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
"Gather final intelligence, and if civilization traces aren't found, we'll launch a full-scale attack! Let those brainless beasts witness real power."
...
anwhile, on the Giant Beast Planet, Ronald finally awoke to the rapid heartbeat sound.
He struggled to sit up, and saw the girl sleeping on him, startled awake, saying, "Wait, don't push yourself, I'll quickly get a doctor..."
Ronald wanted to say it was unnecessary. He had inherited the super-speed regeneration of Zero Number. Given ti, any damage could be healed.
However, just by sitting up, he already felt pain throughout his body.
Within him, the half-circulated circle carved by the Giant Beast made him deeply realize his life had reached its halfway point.
Even with super-speed regeneration, he doubted he could recover after completing this final quarter, aning he only had one last chance to transform...
Looking at the Mobius Ring in his hand, which felt like it was pulsing like a heart, Ronald glanced outside the room.
They had already returned to the Imperial Capital, and this was even the hospital she visited most frequently. Because it was relatively far from the Imperial Palace, it hadn't suffered much damage and had beco the place that saved the most disaster victims.
"So far, my whole life has been a grand failure..." The failure kid stared at the Mobius Ring in his hand, gripping it so tightly his nails almost pierced his flesh, yet he seed oblivious.
"Teacher, why choose for this, choose to inherit this power... Teacher, what else can I do..."
Soon, the girl brought the doctor into the ward. He hurriedly tried to stash the Mobius Ring inside himself, pretending nothing was amiss as he scratched his head.
"Your recovery is far beyond what others expected. Perhaps this is an unknown advantage of the Magic Ring System. At this rate, it will only take a few months for you to fully recover," the doctor remarked after examining him.
"Huh? A few months?" Ronald was thoroughly taken aback, completely rendered speechless by that ti fra.
"Yes, during this period, you can't continue fighting. If you keep going like this, your injuries won't have ti to heal and recover. They'll accumulate, and you'll die," the doctor warned seriously, then left quickly, wanting to give so space to the young duo.
Ronald was silent, his hands trembling; he only felt his own uselessness.
"No, you've already done very well." The girl held his hand. Usually, his hands were warr than hers, but now, his hands were icy, like soone nearing death.
Outside the hospital, lights flickered in the night, the sound of hamrs clanging and electric drills whirring mingling together. Even near the hospital, the noise from the massive reconstruction efforts was deafening.
The night wind blew, stirring up a cloud of dust. In the wind, it was as if the whole world's sound was carried along.
The young couple said nothing, leaning on each other, quietly listening to the world's sounds and the heartbeat and warmth between them.
"Knock knock," the door sounded, and then a man and a woman walked in.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister..." Ronald imdiately reacted, preparing to stand up, but his weakened body couldn't support such an action any longer.
"Don't rush, I know you're anxious, but now isn't the ti for that," Cloud Star's cold expression made Ronald feel embarrassed for a mont.
The young lady left, leaving just the three of them in the ward. Wu Li was preparing so fruit, while Cloud Star just looked at his junior and said, "For this action, you won't participate."
"I can still hold up..."
"And how many tis can you transform? Once? Or twice?" Cloud Star's words imdiately turned the atmosphere oppressive again.
Ronald said nothing because his senior brother guessed correctly; he could only use zero's power one last ti, and if he did, he might end up lying in the hospital until the war ended.
"Stop arguing, just talk properly..." The senior sister looked at the two naïve juniors. In just a few days, they had changed, completely turning into different people.
The two stopped talking, holding fruit in their hands, watching TV. Their movents were almost identical, as if they were sulking.
"I've injected the Super Beast Serum," Cloud Star said directly.
Ronald and Wu Li were stunned; just as they were about to speak, they were cut off, "Don't worry, I understand my body better than anyone. I won't let the power cloud my judgnt."
The room fell silent. Yes, only a few days had passed, but for them, it felt like centuries—a teacher's death, successive invaders, and such overwhelming Giant Beast power.
"Ronald, I feel we need so beautiful beliefs to live by. Both us and the teacher, it's the sa..." Cloud Star began, this ti not using a nickna but his full na.
"We..." The failure kid desperately wanted to be on the scene. He was scared, scared that if he even slightly relaxed, his senior brother and senior sister would permanently leave him.
"Gentleness, kindness, compassion... It's these beautiful human traits that support us in living on." Cloud Star listened to the sounds outside the window. "Actually, we're the sa kind of people, but I'm the type to bare fangs and act crazy, while you hide your fangs, pretending to beg with a wagging tail."
"We are all monsters," he said,
"So I understand you, wait for us to co back, I promise, none of you will be hard before I die."
Looking at his junior, he made such a promise.
"Rest and heal, wait for us to co back."
A helicopter hovered outside the window, and the two of them leaped dozens of ters to the helicopter, leaving.
As if it were a signal before the final battle, Ronald looked at the remote video provided by Parliant in his hand, seeing in the darkness how countless people began setting up weaponry, and most importantly...
Several nuclear bombs!
But for so reason, he just felt his heart relentlessly twitching, as if sothing terrible was about to happen.
And within him, the Giant Beast opened its eyes, the corners of its mouth curving into a Demon-like smile.
