There were records of hundreds of superhumans using their abilities to commit crimes, but in the end, they were suppressed by the Supernatural Tower.
"Many people feel that they are superior to others after they become superhumans. They think that since they can make fireballs, they have everything. They don't want to obey the current social order and walk down the path of breaking the law. In the end, they are all suppressed by the Supernatural Tower," Luo Hai said with a sigh.
Luo Hai said with a slight sigh. "Honestly, these people are really stupid. Superhumans have an advantage in terms of stamina and intelligence. Under the existing rules of the game, we can do really well. Is there a need for them to flip the table and destroy everything?
"If someone wants to flip the table just because they have ultimate skills and harm the common interests of all normal people and superhumans, they don't have the right to be human anymore. They're just monsters in human skin. They're even more dangerous than normal monsters, and they need to be killed even more!"
Meng Chao agreed with this philosophy.
He also had a general understanding of why the Supernatural Tower wanted new superhumans to register here.
They wanted the arrogant newbies to understand the rules and not think that they could do whatever they wanted just because they could make fireballs or release lightning.
The world was big, and there were plenty of existences that could suppress them.
Just as he expected, when they arrived at the next computer classroom, the staff played a few teaching videos to teach them the principles of knowing the law, obeying the law, protecting the law, and living in harmony with normal people.
A few superhumans who had been released after serving their sentences used their personal experiences to talk about the consequences of using superpowers to commit crimes.
Two representatives from the Red Dragon Army encouraged them to fight their enemies bravely and defend their civilization.
It took him two hours to complete a series of procedures before he finally entered the majestic hall.
The spirit energy here was thick, and they felt as if they were in a crystal palace at the bottom of the sea.
They sucked in a deep breath, and all 36,000 of their pores opened up. Wisps of colorful spirit energy surged into their pores and slowly flowed through their spirit meridians, blood vessels, nerves, and organs.
In front of them was a crystalline statue that was more than ten meters tall.
It was a tall and built man with eyes as sharp as lightning. He had a lion-type monster's neck in his hand, and he was stepping on a python-type monster's head.
Even though the strange python had already used most of its body to wrap around the man's thigh, it could not stop the man from exerting his strength. It almost caused its torso to explode, and its head to be stomped into mush.
This statue was created by a master. The crystal that was as sturdy as steel seemed to have been given life. One could clearly feel the monster's pain and fear.
The man's hair stood up in anger, and his imposing aura that could uproot mountains and rivers was like a storm.
This was Battle God Lei Zongchao, the superhuman with the strongest fighting strength in Dragon City over the past half a century!
As they stared at the Battle God statue, Meng Chao and Luo Hai had the same look in their eyes.
First, he was infatuated, "This is how a real man should be."
Immediately after, his eyes narrowed, and they seemed to spew out flames. "He can replace me!"
Feeling the heat wave of ambition erupting beside them, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The statue of the Martial God was carved from a single piece of crystal.
This was the largest high-purity crystal that Dragon City had ever excavated. Its value was immeasurable, and it was a treasure that belonged to all Earthlings.
Inside the semi-transparent statue were many holes that were as thin as hair. They looked like human nerves and blood vessel networks.
Colorful spirit energy was like bolts of lightning that possessed life. They flowed and intersected with each other in the holes, creating sparks and flames that formed hundreds of complicated 3D pictures.
They were the most basic spirit energy magnetic fields that the pioneers had created over the past half a century after they repeatedly experimented and even sacrificed themselves for their cause.
There were also complicated runic symbols carved on the surface of the statue.
The runic symbols were the projections of the spirit energy magnetic fields.
They also had the effect of interfering with the spherical energy layer of the atomic nucleus and changing the properties of the object to release high-energy reactions.
More than one hundred superhumans sat around the statue and stared at it for a long time while thinking about it.
Luo Hai told Meng Chao that most of these people were powerful fighters who only awakened to power in their thirties or forties.
They did not have any legacies, and they could not receive the systematic education of a university. They could only join all sorts of training classes or go to the Supernatural Tower to cultivate on their own while facing the statue with the basic runic symbols and spirit energy magnetic fields.
There were indeed quite a number of powerful fighters who obtained enlightenment from the statue and reached brand new realms.
This was also the original reason why Battle God Lei Zongchao had risked everything and gathered all his power into the crystal statue.
Both of them bowed to the statue and walked inside.
Four huge screens levitated in the air. They showed the value of all sorts of rare materials, information about powerful fighters recruiting allies, and the price a powerful fighter had to pay to personally teach them amazing martial arts. These were all the information superhumans cared about the most.
There were also escalators or elevators that spiraled upwards. They led to cultivation rooms, recovery rooms, fighting simulation rooms, material trading centers, armory, medicine refinement centers, and modification rooms where weapons were processed and runic symbols were carved on them.
The superhumans gathered here were either built, handsome, or had brilliant sparks in their eyes. Their arms were surrounded by spirit tattoos, and faint spirit flames surrounded their bodies.
Some of their skin even had a metallic or crystalline texture. They looked incredibly terrifying.
The seemingly normal people were even more worth paying attention to. This meant that they had already broken through Earth Realm and reached Heaven Realm, which was a realm where their essence could be kept within them.
Compared to the past, the Supernatural Tower was now filled with a murderous air, ready for war.
The Red Dragon Army was giving out a lot of missions.
Quite a number of powerful fighters surrounded the military officers and talked to them excitedly.
"Looks like the recent fog descent has angered the higher-ups. Dragon City is about to start a new round of expansion," Luo Hai said with a smile.
"If they dare touch our bottom line during the national college examination, the monsters will definitely face the wrath of humans, and they'll take revenge one hundred times over.
"We're lucky. Even if we're freshmen, there's a high possibility that we'll receive missions from the university and fight in the fog."
Meng Chao was not that optimistic.
He frowned a little and fell into deep thought.
Luo Hai immediately noticed it. "What's wrong? Are you part of the Return Party and are against expanding outward?"
Dragon City had transmigrated fifty years ago, and many of the knowledgeable people had been thinking about the future. They had formed a lot of thoughts that were incompatible with each other and even opposed each other.
The first was naturally the Colonization Party. They believed that Earthlings' steel army would definitely sweep through all of the Other World, and spreading the glory of Earth's civilization was a sacred mission that they could not pass on to anyone else. It was their destiny.
The Return Party had a completely different train of thought.
Earthlings did not know just how big the Other World was, but based on the size of the creatures in the Other World and the parameters of the stars they observed, it was at least a planet that was not any smaller than Earth.
It was a huge planet, and it was filled with mysterious spirit energy. All sorts of miracles and nightmares could happen there.
Dragon City was a lone army in the Other World. If they wanted to conquer the entire planet with just one city, even if it was a mega city with a complete range of industries and a population of tens of millions, it would still be too much for them.
Right now, Dragon Citizens only needed to defend their territory. They had not run into any pressure from the supply lines, so they could naturally bring out the greatest fighting power of their steel army.
But once they sped up their expansion, as the area they occupied increased and the supply lines continued extending, no matter how unstoppable their momentum was, they would slowly be reduced to a spent force.
In the end, Dragon City would be like a stone thrown into a flood. Once it stirred up a magnificent splash, it would soon be washed away by the river of history and disappear without a trace.
"In the history of Earth's wars, there were countless expeditionary armies that used small forces to fight against large forces. In the beginning, their attacks were very smooth, but soon, the large countries with large territories would wake up and melt the expeditionary armies like ice under the sun.
"The mysterious and unfathomable Other World is like a slumbering beast. Don't wake it up.
"No matter what, this isn't our home. Instead of attacking wantonly and sinking into the vortex of total war, it would be better for us to defend our cities and pour most of our resources into the research of transmigration technology.
"There is a reason behind everything. Since Dragon City transmigrated from Earth, as long as we understand the scientific reasoning behind it, transmigrating back to Earth won't be a dream.
"Even if we can't return, at the very least, we should open up a dimensional tunnel between Earth and the Other World and turn Earth into our sturdiest base. Only then can we launch a full scale attack on the Other World."
This was the main ideology of the Return Party.
Right now, Dragon Citizens had experienced more than ten years of victories, and all of them were proud soldiers. The Colonization Party had the upper hand, and the Return Party was forced into a corner. In fact, they were mocked for being the wishful thinking of cowards.
But Meng Chao remembered that when the war in Dragon City went bad in the future, the Return Party would jump out and stir up trouble.
"In the past, I insisted on the idea of the Party of Return. If we fought against the entire Other World with our lone city, we would definitely die …" Zhuge Zhuge would always say things after the fact.
The internal conflict between the Return Party and the Colonization Party was one of the reasons behind Dragon City's crushing defeat.
Meng Chao did not deny that the Return Party's theory was reasonable.
But he was not a member of the Return Party.
The reason was simple. Even when the apocalypse arrived, the Return Party did not manage to develop transmigration technology.
They could not transmigrate Dragon City back to Earth, and they did not open up a dimensional tunnel between the Other World and Earth.
So, what was the point of saying anything?
"I'm not a member of the Return Party. At the very least, I won't place all my hopes on the vague transmigration," Meng Chao said thoughtfully.
"I just think that if we launch a large-scale attack now, we'll be a little too rash. We'll underestimate the monsters' strength, and we might suffer a major loss. If we wait until the time is right before we expand outwards, perhaps we won't have to lose a lot of blood."
"The time is right?"
Luo Hai smiled. "Time waits for no man. Meng Chao, Dragon City isn't as strong and prosperous as you see it to be. Under the surface of prosperity, all sorts of conflicts have long since become so intense that we must use war to vent them." Forget about everything else, just look at the ten million people who relied on gene farms and synthesized food to increase their population in just a short span of twenty to thirty years. More than half of them are young. How can Dragon City provide so many jobs?
"Yes, we have luncheon meat to eat, so we won't starve to death, but humans aren't satisfied with just not starving to death.
"Besides, if all the people cultivate, it will bring about a huge burden of resources. The education system and war achievement system will gradually be unable to support it, but it's impossible for us to deprive normal people of their right to cultivate, and it's also impossible for us to reduce the rewards for meritorious deeds. Otherwise, the world will descend into chaos.
"There are a lot of things the Colonization Party said about having a steel army sweep through the Other World. It might sound a little arrogant and even aggressive, but they were forced into a corner. There are only so many resources, and if we don't go out and snatch them, tens of millions of people will just die of suffocation in one city."
