CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 94: THE WATCHER’S CREED

Wu Zechuan looked gravely at Huyan Guang standing not far in front of him, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you a ’Samurai’?"

Huyan Guang dared to come alone, without wearing an exoskeleton or carrying weapons, which seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

However, using ’Samurai’ to explain Huyan Guang’s actions made everything make sense.

"Hahaha! It must have been that traitor You Yifeng who told you, right?"

Huyan Guang laughed heartily, "That’s right, I am a Samurai!"

Precisely because he is a Samurai, possessing an extraordinarily strong body, Huyan Guang would come to the nuclear fusion plant alone, without wearing an exoskeleton or carrying weapons.

Even when many guns were aimed at him, he did not fear.

For even missiles could not kill him.

The question is, would the Lingquan City military dare to launch missiles near the power plant?

"I have thought hard during this time and figured out who is dealing with us—it’s you, Wu Zechuan!" Huyan Guang pointed his finger at Wu Zechuan, grinning ferociously, "Neither Yan Luo nor Chen Shan would act so cruelly, and those unknown guys I don’t know wouldn’t be capable of commanding so many people. Only you, Wu Zechuan, you’re ruthless, and have the capability to command so many people to do your bidding!"

Wu Zechuan suddenly smiled, "It’s me, so what?"

Huyan Guang took a deep breath and said deeply, "Since I started out, this is the first time I’ve lost so badly at the hands of one person, forcing me to use desperate tactics. I probably won’t make it out of Lingquan City alive, but it doesn’t matter, I will make sure you die here and let this abyss strategy fail!"

At this moment, Wu Zechuan had a thought, raised his hand to stop Huyan Guang’s action, halting his charge.

"To be honest, I don’t understand why you all want to stop the abyss strategy."

Wu Zechuan looked at Huyan Guang and asked, "Can you tell me why?"

"Buying time, are you?" Huyan Guang laughed indifferently, "But it doesn’t matter, if you want to waste time, just do it! Why stop the abyss strategy? This matter starts from the origin of the Abyss Watchers—our leader is a Saint who discovered the power of the ancient Blue Star civilization in ancient texts and, combined with reality, thinks the current Blue Star can only rely on the Abyss.

"The technological development path of the Blue Star has been locked, how many years has it been since the basic disciplines have progressed? Without relying on the Abyss, humanity will never develop, trapped on this planet, leading to internal turmoil as resources deplete. In such cases, the Spirit civilization will be completely destroyed, the elite positions immutable, and those below never able to rise! Our leader is aiming to break this despairing future and restore Blue Star to its former environment, making Blue Star great again!"

Ideals are the most terrifying thing in this world.

They can make people forget material shortages, ignore the thorny path ahead, or even see wrong as right, harm as help!

Wu Zechuan let out a disdainful laugh.

Huyan Guang squinted his eyes, questioning harshly, "Why are you laughing?"

Wu Zechuan shook his head and laughed, "Because I think you’re idiots—have you ever thought about why our powerful ancestors abandoned their power and chose to cut ties with the Abyss? Could what they experienced be the same as what we are experiencing now? Has the Engraver’s path also been capped?"

A barrage of questions made Huyan Guang involuntarily widen his eyes, reflexively retorting, "That’s impossible—"

"Why is it impossible?!"

Wu Zechuan brutally interrupted Huyan Guang, scolding, "You haven’t even bothered to think, subconsciously assuming what you believe is right, don’t you find that laughable? Use your brain and think about whether what I’m saying makes sense?"

Huyan Guang went silent, truly contemplating along Wu Zechuan’s line of thinking.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down Huyan Guang’s forehead, his eyeballs darting in their sockets, his breathing growing rapid, unable to calm his mind.

Security guards at the substation, watching the situation, marveled, "Chairman Wu is impressive, he actually made an Abyssal Believer doubt himself."

"Hey, was what that Abyssal Believer said true? Has Blue Star Technology been blocked?"

"Chairman Wu admitted it, so maybe it’s true... but wouldn’t that mean both paths are blocked?"

After the admiration came worry—if the technological and Engraver paths are both impassable, where does the Blue Star Civilization go from here?

"...Exhale!"

Suddenly, Huyan Guang took a deep breath, then exhaled all the stale air.

After completing this series of actions, Huyan Guang regained his composure.

"Wu Zechuan, you truly are formidable, you almost convinced me." Huyan Guang looked at Wu Zechuan with eyes full of wariness.

He initially believed what he did was just, albeit the methods slightly extreme.

But it’s fine, as long as the ultimate goal is just, the outcome is good, then everything else doesn’t matter.

He would bear the sins, contributing to the betterment of the Blue Star Civilization.

Until now, Huyan Guang realized the extent of his transgressions.

But, so what?

Huyan Guang counter-questioned Wu Zechuan: "Aren’t your claims merely speculations? How can you assert the leader’s ideas are wrong?"

Wu Zechuan chuckled again, his smile complex, seemingly mocking yet also tinged with sadness.

"Because using wrong methods to do things will never yield the right result!"

Knowing he couldn’t persuade Huyan Guang, Wu Zechuan gave up on the slim hope, and eight engravings behind him blossomed in succession.

He unfolded the metal staff in his hand, with the visor descending accordingly.

The loudspeaker replaced Wu Zechuan’s mouth, emitting a majestic voice: [Huyan Guang, I don’t know how to judge your thoughts, but undoubtedly, your methods are wrong! You do not deserve to continue living in this world and should rightfully die!]

Huyan Guang stayed silent, only charging forward.

In the next moment, Wu Zechuan also transformed into a streak of lightning, rumbling forward.

The two collided in the middle of an empty street, Huyan Guang swinging a heavy fist powerful enough to shatter air, with annular clouds rippling along his arms, while the air transformed into mist under his fist’s pressure, violently striking at Wu Zechuan’s elementalized body.

However, Wu Zechuan’s body dissolved, letting Huyan Guang’s fist pass through, then swung a punch towards Huyan Guang’s head.

Huyan Guang was struck heavily, his head tilting, his body staggering slightly, but his legs remained firmly planted in the ground, unmoving.

Simultaneously, Huyan Guang’s left hand turned into a claw and lashed out, the massive force capable of crushing steel burst forth, shattering Wu Zechuan’s shoulder.

Even in an elementalized state, Wu Zechuan’s body still contained material parts, and sustaining damage would injure him.

But, it was just an injury!

Wu Zechuan swung his right leg, pushing his body away from Huyan Guang, halting his magic staff before Huyan Guang could strike.

The lights in the houses on both sides of the street flickered, and the electrical currents flowing along wires and cables were summoned by Wu Zechuan, transforming into substantial arcs that tore through the air, converging on the street.

The wide main road, stretching a hundred meters, was filled with electric light, with a thunder dragon forged from lightning raising its body, proudly lifting its head.

The next moment, Wu Zechuan pointed the staff forward, and a thunderous roar like a dragon’s cry exploded, the mighty thunder dragon rolling towards Huyan Guang.

Huyan Guang had nowhere to hide, but he didn’t need to!

He crossed his arms in front of him, enduring the cleansing of the thunder dragon head-on.

The long river of thunder scorched the air, releasing a pungent smell.

The mighty thunder scoured the street clean, with doors of the houses on either side flying off, streetlights, railings, and roadside trees that once stood on the street all disappeared, yet a small silhouette still stood on the ground.

"Cough!"

Huyan Guang coughed out a puff of black smoke, raising his hand to brush off the clothes and skin that had completely turned to charcoal.

It could be seen that after shedding his skin, new tissue buds were growing from his fiery red muscles, weaving into a new layer of skin.

With recovery power even stronger than Yan Luo, and strength and reaction speed fully matching Yan Luo’s.

This guy is truly powerful!

Huyan Guang’s foot sank into the concrete ground, the road exploding as a colossal force drove his heavy body forward, instantaneously arriving in front of Wu Zechuan.

Fist clenching—

Punch!

As if an aerial bomb had dropped, striking the air, a timely wind arose, sweeping across the land!
