Chapter 327: A Gift Titled "Ascension"
Countries referenced the threat level classification of the Global Anomalies Alliance, improved upon it, and ultimately developed a new classification method for supernatural existences.
The highest threat level was originally called "Catastrophe," and the severely injured Lord of Radiation and the fallen Lord of the Demon Tower were both classified under this level.
The Black Saint, who was second only to the Sleeves and was once dealt with by an investigator, was classified as "abnormal".
There are several minor levels below the anomaly, but they are insignificant to most countries and pose no real threat.
"But today, a threat level above natural disasters has been proposed for the first time: the 'Doomsday' level. Currently, only one individual has been classified into this level."
A hawk-like gaze suddenly fixed on everyone present. The speaker's voice was hoarse, and each word seemed to be ground through teeth.
"The Lord of Radiation, or rather, the unknown being who has usurped the authority of the Lord of Radiation, is currently the first and only Doomsday-level being."
Satellite images were projected on the screen, clearly showing the black and gold behemoth before everyone's eyes.
The organizer of the meeting, the one who had spoken earlier, spoke again.
"Adrian, Clyde, explain this to us."
Everyone turned their gaze to the man and woman huddled in the shadows of the corner, remaining silent until now.
The two were eyewitnesses to the "energy tide" event, and they are the only ones who have the right to speak on this matter.
However, after returning from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the two men fell ill, their bodies covered in black spots and growing scales.
This disease was caused by some unknown radiation, most likely originating from the Lord of Radiation, even if the two patients only had a brief encounter with the Lord of Radiation.
"I..." Keldia brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, about to speak, when Adrian interrupted her.
"Let me explain."
He stood up, his skin, not covered by a white coat, was covered with dark spots, and his neck was covered with scales of the same color, making him look particularly eerie.
"The story begins like this..."
'
Adrian recounted their original plan, their experiences during execution, and their eventual escape from danger from a relatively objective perspective, without reservation.
Everyone present was a reincarnator from the Allied faction, consisting of three squads. They might sabotage each other in minor ways, but they were united on the big picture.
After Adrian explained, and a short while passed before the meeting organizers had digested the information, they asked, "So, you don't know where 'G' came from either, right?"
To distinguish between the old and new Radiant Lords, they called the new one "G," since its Godzilla characteristics were too obvious.
“That’s right,” Adrian nodded. “We only intended to summon the old Lord of Radiation, but what we summoned was a hybrid of WarGreymon and Gotham.”
This is absolutely outrageous. It's like drawing a character from a gacha pool who isn't even in the pool, and who can slap you across the screen.
"I thought it was outrageous enough that World War III broke out before the millennium," muttered one of the reincarnators, "but I never expected that the absurdity would be so outrageous, it's reached the extreme."
"There's one more thing," the meeting organizer, a bearded man named Andrew, suddenly asked, "How's the situation with radiation sickness?"
"It's nothing serious," Adrian replied with a smile.
Cerdia gave the same answer.
Even if there are any problems, they will not expose them to other reincarnators.
Their relationship wasn't good, and if they showed weakness too easily, it would only lead to other teams kicking them while they were down.
Besides, we really don't have any problems; in fact, we're better off than ever before.
Almost simultaneously, the two lowered their eyes, concealing the fleeting purple light deep within their pupils.
Radiation sickness brought them not pain, but enlightenment and a new beginning.
They had never been so fortunate. Power poured into their bodies out of thin air, and countless pieces of knowledge were buried in their genes, waiting to be discovered.
The two did not resist the process of their illness, nor did they have the will to resist it; they merely symbolically fooled others into thinking that they had resisted it.
They were overjoyed, believing it to be a blessing, unaware that corruption was already deeply ingrained, and their weak will didn't even realize that something was wrong.
In just one encounter, the two who had miraculously survived were corrupted and degraded by Modi.
While they gained power and knowledge from Modina, Modina also gained knowledge from the Main God Space from them.
Inside the abandoned nuclear power plant, where radiation lingers, the original facilities have disappeared, replaced by various cutting-edge instruments, and the once empty room is now filled with many figures.
Although these figures were beginning to take on human form, they lacked facial features and their bodies were covered in purple crystals, making their alien identities immediately apparent.
"This God Space truly lives up to its reputation as a tyrant in the void; even its underlings have traveled to so many worlds on business trips."
Mordi's war-ravaged body still stands outside the nuclear power plant, basking in the sun, but many of his offspring have branched out to participate in the analysis of new technologies.
Although the two reincarnators corrupted by him were not strong, and even when they joined forces they couldn't defeat the pre-modified Huo Wen, the things in their minds were still quite interesting.
Both the mage system, so different from Itnity, and the technology that was called witchcraft but was actually psionic, gave him many surprises.
The latter, in particular, led him to an unexpected encounter with a mysterious dimension—the Sea of Souls.
This dimension has always been there, in this world, in this universe, it's just that he hasn't been able to observe it.
Unfortunately, it only exists in this universe; once it leaves, it becomes difficult to observe.
"But it's no big deal," Modi said, taking it easy. "I have plenty of time to study it before I leave."
If he had time, he might still have a chance to give Yuri and the people of this world a gift, a gift called "Ascension".
"The energy generated by this psionic theory seems to have some connection with psychic energy, and is a higher form of psychic energy, which is just right for Yuri and his Epsilon."
"As for the other two factions... perhaps they'll be interested in genetics and machinery?"
As Modi pondered, a dark thought lingered between his brows.
Various ideas popped into his mind, and although he never sought the opinions of the parties involved, once he made a decision, he would not easily change it.
The aftershocks of the energy tides have not yet dissipated, but have spread globally.
The planet's atmosphere became abnormal as a result, leading to changes in its climate.
Countries were extremely busy dealing with this, and the war even paused for a period of time in order to cope with the violent and unusual weather.
The Allied forces, who were the invaded party, had a chance to catch their breath. Since the biggest threat was no longer on their side, they were secretly pleased but did not indulge in watching the show. Instead, they seized the time to prepare for a counterattack.
On the other side, Prime Minister Romanov, one of the leaders of the other camp, frowned when he saw the intelligence report placed on the table, showing considerable dissatisfaction and even a hint of annoyance.
"We dropped several vacuum implosion bombs, but achieved nothing, not even a hair on the head of that extraterrestrial visitor. So, can anyone tell me why our defeated foe has become like this?"
He looked at the executives on either side of the conference table, hoping to get an answer.
Like him, most of the higher-ups frowned, as they knew nothing about this new Lord of Radiation.
The only thing known is "G's" impressive record—causing a global weather disaster with just one energy ball, which is why he was classified as a doomsday class.
If it weren't for their advanced and sophisticated technology, they might not have been able to suppress the aftershocks.
But this is nothing to be proud of, because it severely slowed down their advance and gave the enemy a temporary respite.
"The 'G' of unknown origin still occupies the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The good news is, it hasn't taken any further action; it's just standing there."
The intelligence minister, acting on the prime minister's instructions, shared the compiled intelligence with everyone.
"call."
The sound of relief was particularly noticeable; clearly, this news was one of the few pieces of good news available at the moment.
The army was stalled in the English Channel. Despite the Federation's gradual retreat with the support of outsiders, the resistance remained particularly fierce. Now, even the major Eastern power had developed a rift with them and remained on high alert.
In addition, not long ago, "G" fired an energy ball that changed the global climate. Most of them were so busy that they didn't have time to spare. The fact that they can still gather together for a meeting now shows that they have outstanding time management skills.
"Comrade General, what do you think we should do?"
Prime Minister Romanov looked at a commander who was unassuming in appearance but had a particularly resolute expression.
This commander was a top graduate of the military academy and achieved many impressive results in the North American campaign, thus earning him a high reputation and being called a "genius" by some.
His dazzling achievements brought him prestige, but also a lot of unnecessary trouble. The first and foremost problem was the suspicion of the command headquarters, who suspected him of being involved in a series of recent cases.
Although Yuri was behind this series of cases, they were unaware of the truth, and the general almost ended up in the Gulag Hotel... But the appearance of "G" changed everything.
The command needs General Comrade to assess and find a solution to "G", after all, he had eradicated many evil gods that the Federation had deliberately released during the war in North America, so he can be said to be very experienced.
My advice is to leave Him alone for now.
The general clasped his hands together on the table, and every word he uttered seemed to be carefully considered.
"Since He hasn't taken any special actions and hasn't caused us much harm, it's best not to bother with Him for now. Perhaps He is different from the original Lord of Radiation and doesn't have much malice towards humanity."
"What's the difference between what you're saying and burying your head in the sand?"
Before Prime Minister Romanov could even speak, a high-ranking official couldn't wait to criticize him.
"Besides, how can you be so sure that 'G' has no ill intentions towards humans? What if it's just gathering its strength, waiting to make its move? Yes, that's definitely the case; that energy ball absolutely consumed most of its power!"
The general looked at the incessantly talking high-ranking official, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"What you say makes sense, but have you ever faced an evil god directly? Have you ever had close contact with evil forces from beyond the realm? Do you have any record of driving away or defeating these extraterrestrial visitors?"
The three questions left the executive speechless.
As a commander who often stayed behind the battlefield, unlike his experienced general comrades, he had never had the experience of putting himself in danger.
Seeing the opponents' expressions, the general revealed a contemptuous smile, "I have faced them directly. I even used fragments of the Seven Chapters Secret Scripture of the Great Eastern Power to banish an evil god at close range."
These deeds are all his achievements, clearly written in the archives. If you were to ask who here knows those visitors from other regions best, it would probably be him.
"I understand these extraterrestrial beings. Some are alien life forms, while others are outsiders from this universe. Based on my judgment, 'G' should belong to the latter."
"He stole the authority of the Lord of Radiation, and may even have swallowed up Sleeve's body. He is no weaker than the Lord of Radiation."
"Think about it, once the Lord of Radiation successfully descends, the entire Eurasian continent will become a radiation wasteland, and G," aside from firing that defensive energy ball, has done nothing else; compared to other evil gods, it's already quite lenient.
A senior official raised his hand and spoke, interrupting his speech.
"But didn't those energy spheres disrupt the global atmosphere and cause climate chaos? Doesn't that count as damaging our world?"
The general retorted, "This is merely the aftermath. I once perused a fragment of a secret scripture, which granted me a certain degree of spiritual vision, allowing me to sense some of the power of beings from beyond the realm."
"Do you know what the Black Saint looks like in my eyes, and what 'G' looks like?"
"What does it look like?" Prime Minister Romanov asked curiously.
"If the Black Saint is a bonfire in the night, then 'G' is the sun in the vast space. Do you understand what I mean?"
The general lowered his eyes; he still couldn't forget the moment he saw "G" with his own eyes.
Even a single glance was enough to nearly blind him; had he not looked away in time, he certainly wouldn't have been able to stay in the command post.
"That's why I'm certain that G didn't use its full strength; that energy ball was merely a casual strike. Frankly speaking, even if we brought back troops from all over, we still couldn't defeat it."
His words were so frank that everyone present found it hard to believe.
After a long silence, Prime Minister Romanov asked again, "So what should we do now?"
"Leave a detachment to monitor the nuclear power plant and gather intelligence through observation as much as possible. Apart from that, as long as there is no action, do nothing else and continue our military operations in North America to completely liberate North America."
Prime Minister Romanov pondered for a long time, racking his brains but still couldn't come up with a good solution. No one else had any good ideas either, so he could only say, "Then let's do as Comrade General says."
