Capítulo 1217: Chapter 1217: Fighting for Oneself
No matter if it’s the members of the Truth Society in the Grand Library or other members of secret organizations encountered on the road.
They all have one common trait, which is their absent-minded demeanor, making them unpredictable.
Their bizarre characteristics seem to overlap with another person.
That person is the Great Sage of the Truth Society!
These seemingly diverse individuals, once you strip away those false appearances, are identical to the Great Sage!
This phenomenon has never occurred before; what could it possibly signify?
There are many strong individuals here, so why is it only Wen Rui who has discovered it?
As the only professor who does not have to participate in battle, what sets him apart?
His thoughts quickly ceased because leaders of other secret organizations, those catastrophe-level experts, were coming here to attend the meeting.
Wen Rui, as the sole professor without duties, was tasked with arranging all the needs for these experts.
Watching a catastrophe-level expert approach, Wen Rui suddenly felt a chill in his hands and feet.
Because that catastrophe-level expert also carried that strange aura!
However, there was not a trace of surprise on his face as he pretended to see nothing.
It must involve a major secret, and if the mastermind behind it finds out he has discovered the secret, he might not see the sun tomorrow.
…
The following day, the Hunter Association conducted a brief meeting.
The meeting utilized the technology of the Black Night Knight and was carried out via video conference.
Now, the catastrophe-level experts must guard their posts vigilantly to prevent the secret organizations’ alliance from surrendering.
First, the battle at the Foundation headquarters yesterday was quite successful, delivering a heavy blow to the secret organizations’ alliance.
However, the loss of catastrophe-level containment items is significant, which might lead to big challenges in subsequent battles.
Ye Haimo, responsible for close guarding the Nest of Destruction, awoke this morning.
According to him, the one who attacked him was the Truth Society’s Great Sage.
He saw that person but was unable to react in time, as he switched positions with the Nest of Destruction, attempting to send a signal, only to be stunned by the Great Sage in a bizarre manner.
Ye Haimo had no reason to lie, so the association members fell silent because if what he said is true, then the Great Sage’s power is immeasurable.
Perhaps on their side, no one, besides the president, stands a chance against the Great Sage.
This made everyone a bit uneasy, as no one could guarantee their resistance if they encountered the Great Sage.
In any case, their first clash with the secret organizations’ alliance ended in a draw.
In the following days, things remained generally calm on Wen Wen’s side, as the secret organizations had suffered a significant setback there and would not easily cause trouble again.
Other places frequently faced sporadic attacks, but most were just thunderous noise with little impact, rarely seeing catastrophe-level experts in action.
It seemed the secret organizations’ alliance lost momentum after the initial attack.
Moreover, the previously stolen Nest of Destruction had not reappeared, leaving the Hunter Association’s members anxious about how the Great Sage might use it.
However, no one would take this lightly, knowing this was merely the calm before the storm; the more peaceful it seemed now, the fiercer the outbreak would be.
The people of the Federation had undergone a significant change in mindset during these days.
Initially, they were simply delighted to have acquired ‘Qi,’ believing human society had entered a new chapter, heralding a world for superpower users.
But the secret organizations’ alliance’s attacks shattered their illusions, making them realize it was actually a cruel world.
The previous actions of the Hunter Association did not offer them new possibilities, but merely pushed them out of their comfort zones.
From now on, people had to face this harsh world and actively participate in the fight to protect themselves.
Temporary training camps were set up in many places, allowing those who wanted the power to protect themselves to undergo training there.
With minimal training, the New Human can possess basic combat abilities, and with some weaponry and equipment, dealing with low-level monsters is possible.
Simultaneously, weapons factories around the world began operating at full capacity, producing massive quantities of various equipment, fully upgrading the equipment of every Hunter Association’s supporter, while retired equipment was distributed to the Federation’s military and civilians.
Previously, due to ordinary people’s involvement, the Association’s equipment sacrificed some power for miniaturization, but now this was unnecessary.
In the clash between the Hunter Association and the secret organizations’ alliance, the most awkward position was held by those monsters entering the real world through various channels.
Currently, the Hunter Association is highly alert, ready to deliver thunderous strikes to anything daring to emerge.
So they must hunt covertly, but given the Federation’s people’s current capabilities, secret hunting is nearly impossible.
Some lesser ghost kinds lurking in various areas were directly exterminated by ordinary civilians.
Ordinary people possessing Qi could easily see the whereabouts of ghosts and could effortlessly harm them with any random weapon.
The pitiful attack ability of ghosts made them lambs to the slaughter when facing ordinary people.
A group of people surround a house and could easily drive the ghost out from within, then swarm in for the kill.
The Child’s Urine High-Pressure Water Gun, a massive weapon against ghosts, began selling in public, and currently, within the Federation, the status of resentful spirits was lower than hornets nesting in residential buildings…
Though ordinary people’s power might be lacking, their massive numbers were sufficient.
Once they possess the ability to fight back, they won’t agree to remain food for those monsters, as humanity’s counterattack will shake the foundations of those monsters’ existence.
Humans are the true masters of this world; now, the Hunter Association no longer makes decisions for them but lets them decide the world’s fate themselves.
…
At the Foundation headquarters, Wen Wen sat atop Black Moon, gazing into the distance.
After days of effort, the surrounding area of the Foundation has been cleaned up, and new defensive structures are under construction.
Every day, people come to apply to join the Foundation, with the membership assessments in full swing, and the Sanctuary’s Mirror Labyrinth running at full capacity daily.
After discovering the truth of the world, what people need most is a sense of security.
Everyone witnessed the actions of the secret organizations in recent days; some would hide seeking peace, while others actively confront, wanting to eliminate the threats to this world.
People with blood and courage are never in short supply; the direct way to strengthen oneself is to join the fight against those evil organizations.
And lately, the Foundation has gained much prominence, attracting many aspiring individuals eager to join in combating those monsters.
