No matter how sunny the weather was, it was difficult for an ordinary person's eyes to see through a distance of hundreds of kilometers. However, in Zhang Lisheng's eyes that had long surpassed the limits of human beings, the towering totem pole of the Wizard Li's ancestral land that pierced through the clouds was very clear.
"This is the land where my 'faith' is spread. This is the 'kingdom' that was born in my majesty …" Suddenly recalling the two prayers from the Old Testament that he had heard somewhere, the young man did not exclaim in shock in the face of the Atlanteans' threat. Instead, he smiled faintly.
Anyone with a sense would know that if Aladus's companions used the power of light and heat to attack Zhang Lisheng just because of a few reasonable arguments, then the punishment they would face would be very harsh given that Atlantis was striving to get along with the Earthlings. For this reason, even though the situation seemed to be critical, it would never deteriorate to the point where a substantial conflict would break out.
What's more, even if these Atlanteans in front of him really lost their minds and started to attack, Zhang Lisheng, who was a martial arts master, had his own ways to kill them on the spot without batting an eyelid as far as his divine power could reach.
"Deolis, Udival, do you want to change the punishment of 'expulsion' to 'annihilation'?" Just as Zhang Lisheng had thought, when Aladus saw his companions using the power of light and heat, before he could even question them, he had already growled in a low voice in rage.
Upon hearing the word 'annihilation,' the two impulsive Atlanteans were like torches that were extinguished in a rainstorm. With a pale face, they swayed a few times and the light on their bodies disappeared without a trace.
When Aladus saw that Deolis and Udival had calmed down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His ghastly pale face became a little better, but when his gaze quietly swept across the smiling face of the black-haired young man on the beach, his expression turned grave again.
After a few seconds of silence, Aladus finally gave in and said, "Dr. Zhang, we need your help. If you show your kindness this time, we'll remember it forever."
"This is the attitude of asking for help, Mr. Deolis." Zhang Lisheng smiled and said, "I can help you, but the condition I ask for is not to remember it. Instead, I want you to swear in the name of the 'Will of the Universe' that you owe me a favor that you must repay in the future."
The young man's words made the faces of the six Atlanteans twitch in unison. If it were not for the fact that he had completely controlled the situation, these aliens would have already cursed out loud.
"Dr. Zhang, I can't believe that an Earthling like you actually knows about the Will of the Universe!" Aladus squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Oh, Sergeant Major Someril once told me that the 'Will of the Universe' is the truth that you Atlanteans follow. I think it's a religion, but she always says that it's a broader science." Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said indifferently, "Sergeant Deolis, I've said that I don't have much time. Tell me now, do you guys accept this condition or not?"
"Looks like we don't have a choice." Looking at his companions on both sides who were filled with anger but did not raise any objections, Aladus once again fell silent for a while before sighing. "Let me make an oath first. I, Sergeant Aladus Qim of Atlantis, swear by the consciousness of the universe …"
Just like this, the six Atlanteans made an oath one by one.
After that, Zhang Lisheng said in satisfaction, "Very good! Ladies and gentlemen from the other side of the galaxy, now that we've reached a consensus, I'll write in the report to General Joss that the conflict between you and the Wizard Li tribesmen originated from poor communication and try to downplay the issue of responsibility as much as possible …"
"Dr. Zhang, the reason that we're willing to swear to owe you a favor that we'll definitely repay is not just to reduce the responsibility …" When Deolis heard that he could not be completely absolved of responsibility, he gritted his teeth and said.
"This is not a matter of whether you're willing or not. The decision lies with me," The young man smiled faintly and interrupted the Atlanteans' words. The young man smiled faintly and interrupted the Atlanteans' words. "Alright, everyone, I'm leaving this boring island. Goodbye." Then, he turned around and walked to the dock without saying anything.
Looking at Zhang Lisheng's gradually becoming smaller under the golden sunlight, Aladus felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fear towards an Earthling for the first time. Deolis, who was by his side, had already cursed out loud, "This inorganic trash! Scum! Be it Earth or Atlantis, all of the merchants are equally cunning! Don't let me … Don't let me …"
"Alright, Deolis, you look like those 'vassal planet's people who have been kicked." Upon seeing her companion's flustered and exasperated look, Paula, who had not said a word when she was negotiating with Zhang Lisheng, calmed down and said with a blank expression, "Cursing behind someone's back is a sign of weakness. If you continue to curse, you'll be admitting that an Earthling is more' powerful 'than the six of us Atlanteans …"
In the face of the oath made by the 'Will of the Universe,' the remaining six people in the second batch of Shrimp World No. 2 explorers began to quarrel due to their impetuous mood. However, they did not know that this oath was not bad news at all. What was more terrifying was that the video of them swearing had already been recorded by Zhang Lisheng in the 'translator.'
Once such a thing was exposed, Zhang Lisheng could just fabricate a reason such as coveting the light stones. At most, he would only be questioned for his bad character and he would be able to get away with it. However, what they would have to face would definitely be extremely cruel punishment.
More than ten minutes later, standing on the side of a battleship that was braving the wind and waves to advance to New York, the young man used his consciousness to control the 'translator' that seemed to be integrated with his retina and fast-forwarded the scene of Aladus and the others swearing unwillingly. Proudly, he muttered, "The Atlanteans' translator is really good.
Not only can it translate languages and words, but it also has a panoramic stereoscopic camera function. I wonder if there are any imitations of such a useful thing on Earth now. If there are, I'll really need to purchase a batch … Sh * t!
I actually forgot to ask those Atlanteans why they want to kill my believers. Forget it, no matter what the reason is, it's no longer important now anyway … "The six Atlanteans who had neither strength nor brains occupied a very insignificant position in his heart. The reason why he planned to get hold of these people's weaknesses was because it would not take too much effort for him to succeed, so he just pushed the boat along with the current.
The Wizard Li tribe's army reorganization was being carried out nervously by the battleship. About 40 days later, the third wave of unprecedented 'war of conquest' would begin. In this gap, the most important thing for Zhang Lisheng was to understand the various situations on Earth that he had not seen for a long time. Even though his foundation had already been deeply rooted in the Hellfire sea region, the help from Earth could not be ignored at this stage.
The young man was thinking about his plans after he returned to New York. Unknowingly, the red light curtain in the distance had already become visible.
Even though Zhang Lisheng felt that his' dead 'body could no longer attract the attention of the Atlantean defense device, when he saw the flowing red light that resembled magma, his body still froze and hurriedly hid in the washroom of the battleship from the deck.
According to his plan, once the situation was not as optimistic as he had imagined, he would immediately transform into the Eye Beast and use the magnetic force to turn the battleship into a hard shell to break through. Then, he would swim in the Earth's sea region and pretend to wait for rescue.
Fortunately, just as Zhang Lisheng had guessed, when the red light that separated the 'world' penetrated the metal and swept across his body, the young man did not feel anything at all as he passed through the light curtain.
This made him breathe a long sigh of relief and return to the deck.
After relaxing, Zhang Lisheng inadvertently looked in the direction of the Shrimp World No. 2. Without warning, he saw several platforms that looked like deep-sea oil derricks standing on the ocean in the distance. Thousands of slender mechanical arms extended out from it and continued to wave in the air. In the midst of the swaying motion, a seven-colored light flashed faintly.
When the young man saw that the steel platform was standing on the edge of the broken barrier between the Earth and the Shrimp World No. 2, he stared at it for a while and muttered to himself, "What the hell is that …" Then, he turned his head to look around.
At this time, due to the reason that the battleship had sailed to the Earth's sea region, the combat readiness state had been lifted. Many sergeants rushed onto the deck. Zhang Lisheng casually stopped a burly lieutenant who had a square face and a long chin who looked like a typical American white young man and asked, "Hey, buddy, what are those terrifying 'multi-handed monsters' on the sea for?"
"Multi-handed monsters? Haha … What an appropriate name, Dr. Zhang." The officer who was performing special duties naturally knew the identity of this unprepossessing black-haired young man on the side of the ship, so he replied politely, "However, their official name is the 'micro-photon broad-spectrum isolation braiding instrument.' It's said that it can prevent the barrier separating the foreign world and Earth from continuing to collapse.
It's the most useful gift that the second Atlantean fleet brought when it landed on Earth. "
"The second Atlantean fleet?" The young man's eyes narrowed as he asked casually, "Oh, another Atlantean fleet has come to Earth in recent months?"
"Yes, doctor. About two months ago, an Atlantean civilian fleet arrived on Earth. They were escorted by a small number of battleships and crossed hundreds of millions of kilometers of the galaxy to help us."
"The Atlantean official fleet is helpless against the collapse of the world's barrier, but the civilian fleet has solved this problem. What an unexpected surprise!" Upon seeing the lieutenant's respectful tone, Zhang Lisheng could not help but shrug and say.
"It's said that this is because of an experimental accident after the official fleet set off that allowed the Atlanteans to make a breakthrough in their dimensional isolation technology. For this reason, only the civilian fleet that set off one year later would be equipped with the 'micro-photon broad-spectrum isolation braiding instrument.'
This is not surprising at all, doctor. Many of the latest scientific and technological achievements in the US are also in the hands of the civilian multinational group. "As though he could hear the doubt in the young man's words, the lieutenant raised his voice to refute.
