"What the hell... is that?"
The people in the command center were equally pale. They stared at the scene on the screen, not knowing what to say. Unlike before, in order to let those high and mighty figures in the Tokyo Special Administrative Region understand the situation (or to be prepared to escape at any time), they had specially sent a high-altitude surveillance drone to observe the situation on the battlefield.
But now, they did not even know what kind of expression they should show.
When the troops stationed at the front line were all wiped out, these people could no longer sit still. They wanted to leave. Even when the Cursed Children under Fangzheng joined the battle, they did not have much hope. In the eyes of these senior officials and councilors, although the Cursed Children did have some ability, their equipment and firepower were far inferior to the army. Even the army was wiped out, so the value of the Cursed Children was only to buy time for them.
But after that, the development of the situation surprised everyone.
There were less than fifty Cursed Children, yet they had managed to block the attack of the Protozoa!
No, what puzzled and surprised everyone even more was the power displayed by the Cursed Children!!
Although everyone hated and discriminated against the existence of the Cursed Child, it didn't mean that they knew nothing about the Cursed Child. Everyone knew that apart from their appearance and eyes, the Cursed Children were different from ordinary humans. The rest was superhuman athleticism and resilience. They could leap as high as a three-storey building and kick a truck to the other side of the river. If they were not equipped with wooden weapons, their injuries would have healed in a breath's time.
But this was not beyond the scope of human understanding. They knew that it was because of the changes in their body functions brought about by the Protozoa virus. If you asked a doctor or a biology professor, you would probably be shocked by the long list of technical terms the other party would use. But even if you did not understand any of the technical terms, at least you knew one thing — — this matter was within human understanding. There was nothing to worry about.
But the performance of the Cursed Children completely shattered this sense of security like a glass falling from the sky.
No one could explain why the Cursed Children could release a storm that could tear everything apart, let alone figure out how they did it.
Were they really cursed children?
Frankly speaking, if it wasn't the Cursed Child that appeared on the battlefield at this moment, but aliens wearing helmets and armor, people might not be so surprised. This was because aliens were unknown to the people of Earth, and it was easy to accept an unknown existence in any form. But the Cursed Ones were different. People had been with the Cursed Ones for ten years, but no scientist, no biologist, no human being had ever discovered that the Cursed Ones had such power.
Even the Elysian Son of Heaven was shocked by this power.
She watched as Xia Shi raised his right arm and swung it forward. Emerald lightning erupted from her fair, petite palm, penetrating dozens of Protogut Fauna and turning them into ashes in an instant.
She also saw Yan Zhu leap high into the air and rush towards the enemy in front of her. The ground collapsed and cracked under her kick. The power of her kick was no less than the power of a small bomb exploding on the ground.
Even Tina, who wielded a familiar weapon, behaved differently. She gripped the anti-material sniper rifle in her hand tightly and aimed at the enemies in the distance. A faint red light engulfed the girl and the sniper rifle. As Tina pulled the trigger, bullets left a trail of red in the air. They whistled across the battlefield like small electromagnetic cannons, accurately blasting their prey into pieces.
At the front of the battlefield was a girl dressed like a samurai and wielding a katana. She brandished the weapon in her hand, and every swing of the katana would erupt with a violent sword aura of light, easily tearing apart the Protogut Beasts' formation.
Are they really humans?
To the people in the command room, this wasn't a problem because to them, the Cursed Children weren't humans to begin with.
In that case, there was another problem.
Are they really the Cursed Children?
What exactly did the Tendo Temple do to the Cursed Children?
Looking at the battlefield in front of them, many people felt their hair stand on end. Many of them had discussed this question before. That was why the Tendo Temple recruited the Cursed Children. Some people thought that the Tendo Temple was an organization established by sympathizers of the Cursed Children. Others thought that the Tendo Temple was trying to train the Cursed Children and make them their soldiers to achieve some ulterior motive. Some people also suspected that the Tendo Temple was the IISO's opponent. Perhaps because of the IISO's emergence, the Tendo Temple was abandoned, so they used this method to fight for their political rights.
But now, they realized that what the Tendo Temple did was much more terrifying than they had imagined.
They turned the Cursed Children — — into Gods.
At the very least, in an undeveloped ancient society, such a cursed child would be regarded as a descendant or incarnation of God no matter where he appeared.
And now, just a few of these cursed children would probably be enough to destroy the central core of a settlement.
After realizing this, the senior officials and councilors felt it difficult to breathe. Their faces were pale, their hands were trembling, and beads of sweat were everywhere on their shiny foreheads. Strangely enough, when the strange rain of light fell from the sky and hindered the movement of the Cursed Children, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, many councilors no longer longed for victory. On the contrary, they even hoped to see the Cursed Children fail. After all, it was not the first time that humans had lost to the Protozoa, so it was not completely unacceptable. But … if the Cursed Children won, then the world they knew was likely to collapse.
And that unknown, brand-new future, just thinking about it made them feel afraid and uneasy.
Because of this, when the rain of light fell from the sky, many people began to secretly encourage and pray for the Protozoa. They hoped that the Protozoa could destroy the Cursed Children like they destroyed their own army. Of course, these people also understood what this meant. The Tokyo Special Administrative Region had lost its line of defense, and this place would become the next victim of the Taurus. But so what? Even so, at least they were still familiar with this world. They might lose some things, but with their wealth and status, they could still live the life they wanted after arriving at other settlements.
But … if the Cursed Children won, then what would happen to them, the Tokyo Special Administrative Region, and even the whole world?
But this was not a problem that Fangzheng needed to worry about.
"…"
The entire command room was silent. Everyone was motionless as if they had been hit by a spell. They stared at the man standing in the black ashes on the screen. At that moment, they felt as if countless thoughts were going through their minds, but they also felt as if they were not thinking about anything.
The Elysian Son of Heaven closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
Everything had changed.
Although she did not know what the future would be like, the Elysian Son of Heaven knew very well that since the other party had displayed such a powerful force that they could hardly contain in front of them, it could only mean one thing.
The Tokyo Special Administrative Region, and even the whole world, might undergo unprecedented changes because of this.
