<h4>Volume 6 Chapter 23: Fight of the frontline researcher</h4>
Yun Yi was wearing a military uniform as he disembarked the railcar onto the ground. Even though it had just rained, the smell of blood and fire was still fresh in the air.
Of course, there was also the disgusting scent of those disaster-infected Destes.
“Wee, professor Yun Yi!”
The battle at the frontlines was even harsher than what he had thought, as the one who came out to greet him was the Celestial’s 3rd squadronmander, but it was clear to anyone’s eyes that thismander was wounded.
Has the situation gotten so bad that even amander needed to brave the battlefield?
Yun Yi couldn’t help but feel worried about the war situation. He wasn’t worried about being able to win against the disaster-infected Destes, but rather that there would be too many casualties from this war that they wouldn’t be able to go against the Deste Republic.
…
A battle would ur between the Destes and Celestials, this was inevitable.
Even if the disaster-infected Destes did not attack this time, the Celestials or Destes would have chosen to attack them very soon.
Especially for the Destes, since they wouldn’t be able to wait for too long. Negary had continued to take over the world authorities bit by bit, the Deste spirit’s act of pooling resources to one side was causing his authority to gradually slip, so in less than 10 years, Negary and the Deste spirit would hold the same authority over this world, and in 20 years, Negary would hold the absolute advantage over these authorities.
At that time, even if the Deste spirit had a grasp over the [Protagonist], it would still be slowly reced by Negary, so the war must ur within the next 10 years, and it would surely end in less than 10 years.
This was something that both the Deste spirit and Negary had predicted, and currently, the Celestials required arge number of resources to prepare for war, while they had been using it in an especially economical manner, they still had far too little resources.
While the disaster-infected Destes could obtain power from destruction, they still had quite a bit of resources, which was exactly what the Celestials required.
Meanwhile, the Destes needed to train their army and turn the tides of their conflicts. Ever since all their tribes had unified into a single alliance, quite a few conflicts had surfaced that remain unresolved. They had ess to ample resources, but because of that abundance, any Deste could easily obtain a considerable amount of it without needing to move too far away. They had grown stronger, but theirbat skills were growing at a much slower rateparatively.
At the same time, when the tribes became unified, quite a few Shamans without any remaining potential or abilities had taken up considerably high positions, and in this era where geniuses were a dime a dozen, their existence had be an obstacle in their growth, which made this war an excellent opportunity for them to climb higher.
All in all, both sides had reasons to fight the disaster-infected Destes, but the most important reason was that neither side felt assured with this bunch of destructive beasts here. They had to clean them up before the war, or they’d be leaving an unstable force that could decide the flow of war.
The current situation was one where both the Celestials and Destes were wary of one another. If there was a chance, they’d trip one another up, and there were also special agents who had infiltrated the other’s side to create disturbances, but the real battle hadn’t actually begun.
After meeting with themander of the 3rd squadron and being briefed by him, Yun Yi took up his post at the camp.
Inside an undergroundb, a disaster-infected Deste prisoner would asionally be brought here by the frontline soldiers. Yun Yi’s job was to study them and develop weapons to fight specifically against these monsters.
While Negary was on the same side as the Lord of Disaster, he couldn’t directly inform his subordinates of the Lord of Disaster’s information. This wasn’t an issue of betrayal, but because this was a war to take over an entire world.
Never mind the critical issue of how that had the potential to expose his rtionship with the Lord of Disaster, if Negary had to help them with every little thing, what was the point of having subordinates?
The operation of a world required living beings, especially excellent living beings. The fact that the Celestials were more powerfulpared to the Destes was only an advantage, and one that they had to fully exert in order to obtain recognition from the world itself.
In cultivation terms, the Destes and Celestials werepeting for the great fortune of being the world’s main character. In biological terms, they werepeting for the top position of the food chain. What they were using topete was the advantages and strength of their entire races, not with how strong the entity behind them was.
The Deste spirit giving the Destes a resource cheat resulted in his authorities waning, so if Negary did everything himself, it should also result in him losing a part of his authorities, as well as a huge possibility of him losing the entire thing.
Losingmand over a world, even to Negary, was a considerable loss, not to mention how it would ruin his resurrection n.
Negary’s goal was to further promote his world virus and turn it into a phenomenon virus, which required the aid of this world’s environment. One of the requirements for this was for arge number of this phenomenon urring in arge area, and thepetition between two races who needed to ovee their shorings in order to obtain evolution was perfectly suitable for this.
With two racespeting for the top position on the food chain, the loser would only end up extinct. Furthermore, a few thousand yearster, the winning side would even use the losing side in their history books or zoos in order to retell the original desperate struggle, reminding them of their predecessors’ efforts.
For this reason, neither the Destes nor the Celestials had room to back down. Rejecting improvement meant death, this atmosphere was something that Negary had personally invoked, as well as the true reason why he was here.
His consciousness had faintly been able to recognize the essence of the phenomenon of wanting to continuously improve and be a better self. With enough data, he would be able topile the Principles and Ideals contained within to not only achieve sublimation in his form of existence but also manifest his Pathway.
Increasingly more data was flowing through Negary’s consciousness. Currently, even as a consciousness who hadn’t been resurrected, he wasn’t any inferior to his previous self while he remained in this world, and once he had resurrected through the cradle that is the Ancestral Wild, he would once again leave the birdcage of his past behind.
〖 Do not disappoint me, everyone 〗
Negary was closely examining Yun Yi. ording to what Negary had analyzed from the world’s data, if Negary hadn’t interfered, Yun Yi would have been the ‘best friend’ character of the [Protagonist] Meng Luo.
In other words, he was a crucial deuteragonist, from a certain point of view, he would have had his own predestined role to y in the script, but now that he had begun walking on another path, his predestined role had be his limit.
〖 So, can you break through your own limit, Yun Yi? 〗
…
Yun Yi shook his head, feeling like he had just heard someone whisper into his ears asking something, it had been a very long time since he had heard illusory noises.
“Perhaps I’ve been researching a bit too hard recently”
Yun Yi put down his work and stood up to look inside the nearby quarantine zone. A disaster-infected Deste was mindlessly attacking the nearby walls and observation board. Even after being locked up for several days, its will to destroy had not waned a single bit.
To conserve the Celestials’ strength as much as possible, a weapon to counteract these disaster-infected Destes must be developed soon. A working product had been designed previously, but due to some shorings of its core technology, this fantasy weapon consumed too much Cede and didn’t fit the requirements. Simply put, it couldn’t be mass-produced, so it needed to be redesigned.
Yun Yi once again scratched his head until his hair was a mess, even a fantasy required a lot of thinking.
Right at this moment, the light of the entire base suddenly shut down, followed by the emergency lights turning on with a loud siren.
[Emergency, a disaster-infected Deste has broken loose, suspected to be sabotaged by a Deste. The passage leading outside has been wrecked in an explosion, aid will probably not arrive for another 30 minutes, please stay cautious. I repeat…]
Yun Yi immediately shot to his feet and drew his spare weapon. There had been cases of special agents on both the Deste and Celestial sides who infiltrated the other’s backline to cause sabotage, but this was the first time that a research center had been breached, so the one who came wouldn’t be simple to deal with at all.
