"Asking for magic cores? In addition to the two trucks filled with high explosives, the last truck was filled with seventeen packaged industrial-grade magic cores? Isn't that the same as hitting you with a truck full of gold? You're still alive? "
Lying on the hospital bed, the young man was bandaged all over like a mummy, but all he got was the ridicule of his colleagues.
However, even he himself felt that he was quite lucky to have survived such an explosion.
Industrial-grade magic cores could be seen as a violent and unstable energy source. They were generally used as the core energy source of large power plants and heavy industrial production areas, or returned to their original use to power super mage towers and floating islands.
To put it bluntly, they were the nuclear reactors of the magical world.
No matter what type of industrial-grade magic core it was, it was basically a super energy source that was extremely difficult to control. A series of super-large control facilities had to be installed in order to use it to a limited extent.
In theory, this thing couldn't even be used to power magic armors because it was super uncontrollable and too wasteful.
"Using seventeen industrial-grade magic cores to hit you, how much hatred do you have?"
Rorschach, who was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, was stammering on the bed. He also wanted to ask this question.
If you have the money to bomb me, why don't you just throw cash at me? I'll let you pass all the terms and contracts.
"But, you're really tough to not die from the explosion."
Su Nanna continued to poke at Rorschach's heart. At that time, the situation was probably because Rorschach was doomed.
A street was directly blown up, a mushroom cloud floated in the air, and the shock wave swept through the entire south of the city. Now, only a deep hole was left in the building.
This was no longer at the level of a terrorist attack. It was more like a battlefield where small nuclear weapons were dropped. Several major Aishi news outlets even reported it, and even the stocks related to the Halet Federation fell a little.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the attack happened in the middle of the night when Rorschach was working overtime. There was basically no one in the office building. Even if it was Rorschach himself, the number of casualties was not more than two digits.
Rorschach's body was almost burnt to a crisp as well. The eighth-grade Great Mage received a warning before the danger approached, and used all the defensive means at his disposal to turn the charcoal into a barbecue.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Rorschach would have died instantly. However, at the critical moment, his god directly took away his soul and placed his body under the protection of divine power.
Fortunately, the enemy's attack point was the Game Church's base point, which was also Lori's Holy Domain. She reacted in time. It was also fortunate that the enemy chose to explode a certain distance away from Rorschach, which gave Rorschach and Lori enough time to react.
"Really? He won't be able to move for a short period of time. Is hibernation treatment the only option?"
Even though he had reacted in time, Rorschach was still seriously injured. It was only because his pain nerves had been numbed that he was in the mood to complain.
The treatment results weren't optimistic either. Large amounts of radiation-like mutated energy were mixed in his body. His entire body felt as if it had been hit by four or five types of forbidden spells. It was so messy that it was impossible to clean it up, and most treatment methods were ineffective.
Now, the doctor's plan was for him to return to the Ancient Tree of Life and use the power of nature to gradually straighten out his body … That's right, this was the wood spirit's technology. With the development of the times, the wood spirit's biomedical technology that didn't require magic at all had blossomed like crazy.
Rorschach sighed helplessly. He couldn't even complete the action of extending his finger. If he didn't want to take two or three years off, he knew that he could only use the backup plan.
"Let's bring that plan forward. At this time, I won't be able to rest at all."
There was nothing much to say about the plan that had already been formed. This was already the best choice at the moment. Apart from this hibernation treatment method, the only other option was to directly reconstruct his body.
This body was filled with all sorts of mutated energy and heavy radiation. He might as well delete his character and start all over again.
Now that Su Nanna was still in the mood to joke around, it meant that this wasn't the worst development.
"Physical body delivery? Indeed, it's only bringing the plan forward. In a way, it's also helping you to make up your mind. By the way, just yesterday, your bill was passed. This also scared them and helped them to make up their minds. "
Hearing this, Rorschach couldn't help but laugh. His emotions were rather complex.
The explosion in front of his home showed that Vila Nova Dônia's current security was indeed worrying. Instead, it allowed him to finally pass the security review bill that he had been pushing for.
"Su Nanna, what are you thinking? Are you intending to change your body? "
"We're all Dark Elves. There are some pure-blooded Dark Elves here, so we'll have an extra life. Let's keep it for future use."
The backup plan for a physical body was a choice that everyone would have to face.
The tearing of the two world barriers made it much easier to sneak in. This also allowed many powerful individuals to enter Ansorenne through various methods.
As for the descenders who were originally in this world, they had an additional opportunity to choose.
Should they pack up their own Aishi body and send it over, or should they continue using Ansorenne's body?
Most people were like Su Nanna. The two bodies weren't fundamentally different. The Descenders' bodies had a closer connection with their Gods. In times of danger, they could ask their Gods to save them, or they could simply take away their souls and abandon their bodies. This was what she meant by "having an extra life."
However, Rorschach knew that many Descenders still chose to use their original physical bodies in order to display greater combat strength. For example, the Grand Master's Gorilla Warrior Monk body that had been tempered to immortality wasn't something that the white-bearded old man Ansorenne could compare to.
When one reached a certain level of evolution, one would still have to pursue the so-called unity of soul and body. One would have to make a choice. If one chose one body, the other body could only be a vassal.
Rorschach was in the same situation. After repeated evaluations, everyone was surprised to find that the Wood Spirit mixed-blood body that didn't seem to have any special characteristics had potential that surpassed the so-called Gold Elf body in all aspects … Of course, Rorschach preferred the Gold Elf body. There was no need to explain why.
Just like the Grand Master who liked Whitebeard's body but was bribed by the Mage Country with the title of Honorary Archmage, Rorschach still chose the Wood Spirit body.
This was the choice of most New Gods' Churches. In the face of future threats, it was good to be able to increase one's combat strength.
However, due to reasons that everyone knew, Sui Xiong had been stalling for as long as he could. Considering that the further he went, the safer it would be to sneak in and the lower the cost, the higher-ups of the Game Church allowed Sui Xiong to do whatever he wanted.
But now, it was obvious that he couldn't delay any longer.
[I'll prepare the ritual as soon as possible. The early preparations are complete. It can be activated in two days.]
"… You're so well-prepared and proactive. I'm starting to suspect that you were the ones who bombed me."
Rorschach could only comment helplessly. However, after dealing with his injuries, an even more practical problem was placed in front of Sui Xiong.
"Did you find anything?"
"Not yet. So many magic cores came in through at least fifteen channels. They were mixed in with everything from medical supplies to spicy sticks. On average, they passed through three to five hands. At least seventy companies were involved. It's impossible to find anything. Yep, it's impossible to find anything in a short amount of time. The longer we drag this out, the fewer clues we have. "
"Then, do you have any suspects?"
Rorschach also knew that this was probably the most likely result. Sui Xiong had the ability to throw so many dangerous things on Sui Xiong before Sui Xiong discovered him. Of course, he was extremely skilled, and all the clues were probably gone.
"Yes, this is because of your … our grudge. This is because we were offended by your newspaper. This is something you'll benefit from after you die."
Rorschach only glanced at it once before helplessly giving up.
"… Am I really that bad? Half of the country wants me dead."
There were more than seventy suspects on the list, which involved most of the major powers in this city and country. Obviously, it would be impossible to find an answer by looking at who was involved and who benefited from it.
"This means that you've done a good job. You've blocked many people's paths."
From a certain standpoint, Su Nanna was speaking the truth.
Absolute Truth, which was founded by Rorschach, was still the number one media company in the Federation. While it maintained its sarcastic and sarcastic style, it was also constantly making enemies for the nominal editor-in-chief, Rorschach (his name was used to guarantee the authenticity of the advertisement).
On the city's board of directors and military committee, Rorschach and the Game Church were constantly making enemies for himself. Plus, with his mouth … Cough, cough, how could he be blamed for this?
Even if those who wanted Rorschach dead didn't involve half of the Federation's upper echelons, but those who had grudges, conflicts, and conflicts, one-fourth of them wouldn't be too little. As long as one-tenth of them were angry enough to send assassins over, Sui Xiong wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
However, this time, there were people who were angry enough to throw the table. Rorschach thought about it, and the best possibility was still the new city construction plan that was stuck in his hands.
