"Have you heard? More than a hundred Beyond Grade As have jointly established a new organization in the Flickering World …"
In the bar of a certain military base of the Imperium, the atmosphere of the past was not as lively as before. Some people had forgotten to drink with their wine glasses hanging to their lips, some were rubbing the cup subconsciously with their hands covering the rim of the cup, and some were narrowing their eyes with a thick cigarette in their mouth, letting it burn freely.
Everyone had different postures, but the only thing they had in common was that their heads were all turned in the same direction, and their eyes were focused on the virtual screen on the wall of the bar. At this moment, a political talk show was playing on it.
The image was of a broadcasting studio. A host was guiding a few guests to talk. The issues they were discussing were related to recent big news.
In the quiet bar, only the excited voices of the guests could be heard.
"I know. The Flickering World Beyond Grade A Development Union was just established not long ago. They invited a large number of galactic media outlets and released a statement. Now, it has spread throughout the entire universe."
"Almost all the Beyond Grade As in the universe have joined. Heh, these big shots really don't want to be left out."
"According to the data, the purpose of this organization is to mediate the increasingly frequent Beyond Grade A conflicts, and on the day of its establishment, they held a plenary meeting. Under the observation of the galactic media, they publicly conducted more than ten mediation sessions, using peaceful negotiations to resolve the conflicts between dozens of Beyond Grade A Supers. Facts have proven to be very effective, and these people have all stopped their conflicts. The recent frequent Beyond Grade A conflicts have been effectively curbed, and no one is unlucky enough to be involved in the conflicts. "
"It seems like this organization is still very useful." A guest who was an executive of a financial group complained. "The destructive power of a Beyond Grade A is too great, and the conflicts between them often bring about huge public losses. It's not that some planet is destroyed, but the bystanders are killed by the shockwaves. It's rare that there's an organization now, and we can manage these people."
"That's right, that's right. I have a friend who lives in the Shattered Star Ring. He went to watch the battle between Black Star and the Tyrant a few decades ago, but because he was too close, he unfortunately died. There was no compensation after that." Someone complained. "I don't know what those people who came to watch are thinking. Do they think that's a concert?"
"How many ordinary people have been accidentally killed by Supers? This is a social conflict that has existed for a very long time. According to research, the number of ordinary people who die from Supers directly or indirectly every day is about ten to the seventeenth power. Think about how terrifying this number is. This is a huge problem that is closely related to our lives."
One of the guests was indignant. He was the representative of an organization for equal rights between ordinary people and superhumans.
"That's why I feel that this organization is extremely meaningful. The Beyond Grade As are worthy of their status as the pinnacle of the Supers. They set a very good example for all the Supers in the universe. They are very responsible." The host smiled and avoided the sharp topic. He displayed the virtual avatars of Manison and Han Xiao on the screen behind him. "And the two main initiators are the Mecha Empire and Black Star. They are respectively the president and vice president of the development union."
"Oh, these two are big shots among big shots!"
A socialite made an exaggerated gesture. "There's no need to mention Manison. He's a veteran Beyond Grade A, and everyone is familiar with him. No one will find it strange that he's the president. Instead, it's Black Star. He's someone who only rose in recent decades, but he actually suppressed the other veterans and sat in the second position."
"Beyond Grade As are a group of people who value strength above all else. Not long ago, Black Star fought against twelve of them alone and made a historical record. Seniority is not a factor that limits him." A Slime who chased after his idol danced with joy.
"Speaking of which, Black Star proposed the idea of the development union. It seems like the fuse was this battle. Manison is just a partner he pulled in."
"No, no, no. In my opinion, there were already clues about the Meeting of the Gods. They planned this a long time ago. Black Star was the one who pulled the strings. Because he contributed the most, he got the position of vice president. As for the purpose of these Beyond Grade As, who knows? Maybe they want to take advantage of the development of the Flickering World to reshuffle the cards. Anyway, everyone is the same. "
"I've checked the information. Black Star has been very active recently. Not only did he lead the establishment of the development union, but he also became the new shareholder of the Limitless Financial Group. The dynasty's official sale of the Evolutionary Totems has also been put on the agenda. He even entered the entertainment industry. In the archives of the Galactic Film Industry Association, a movie based on Black Star's story has been officially set up. The director is the famous producer Benny Travolta. Maybe we'll be able to witness the rise of Black Star on the screen very soon. "
The host and guest spoke with fervor.
Pa!
This time, a dynasty officer put down his glass heavily, curled his lips, and said with disdain, "What bullsh * t mediation? It's just a bunch of Beyond Grade As acting. Those who believe their nonsense are a bunch of idiots."
Everyone in the bar burst into laughter.
Everyone present was smart, and they were all soldiers of the dynasty. Standing on the dynasty's side, they could not help but open their mouths.
"This can be considered the official association of the Beyond Grade As. Looks like they finally want to take back some power from the three Universal Civilizations."
"I didn't expect Black Star to be the main leader. Heh, outsiders really can't be trusted. To think that I used to admire him for a while."
"There's nothing strange about it. He's not from the dynasty after all. There's no reason to ask for his absolute loyalty."
"The future of the three Universal Civilizations is going to be tough. They have another competitor that can't be ignored."
Listening to the discussions of his colleagues, Gaud swirled the wine glass filled with amber wine and stared at Han Xiao's virtual avatar in the show with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Your status is getting higher and higher …"
Because the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy had been stolen, Gaud had been paying close attention to Han Xiao. He watched as Han Xiao continued to gain capital and his status in the universe grew higher and higher.
The rescue of Hella a while ago also surprised him again by Han Xiao's growth speed.
Gaud's wrist stopped, and the wine continued to swirl in the glass due to inertia. He lowered his head and stared at the whirlpool in the glass. A playful smile appeared on his face.
"Manison had this idea before, and now he finally has the chance. The development union is a good excuse. When I become a Beyond Grade A, I'll most likely join it too. I just didn't expect you to support this. Do you agree with Manison's Beyond Grade A united front, or … did you notice that too? "
…
Black Star Palace, Army Commander's office …
"Looks like the first appearance of the development union was very successful …"
Han Xiao leaned back in his chair, put his legs on the table, and quickly checked the news on the quantum network with a satisfied expression.
Not long ago, the development union officially announced its establishment to the outside world. As the vice president, he also appeared at the ceremony.
To the ordinary people, the establishment of the development union came without warning. The movement of almost a hundred Beyond Grade As attracted a lot of attention, so as soon as the news was released, it attracted a lot of discussion from all walks of life in the universe.
The most shocking thing was the Flickering World. Most of the organizations in the free competition zone were shocked by this sudden event.
There were many organizations exploring the Flickering World, but in the eyes of these organizations, the current situation in the free competition zone was actually a tripartite balance. The dynasty was alone on one side, Radiance and Ethereal on the other, and the Supercluster Alliance on the other side.
In comparison, the other organizations exploring the free competition were just a bunch of stragglers. These three parties were in a political standoff, just like the difference between an enterprise's competition and a country's competition.
Originally, although there were many Beyond Grade A organizations, they all belonged to different factions. However, now that they were united, if they formed a union of interests, there would be an additional behemoth. The situation might change from a tripartite balance to a four-sided struggle.
However, this was only the speculation of the outside world. Be it Manison or Han Xiao, neither of them had any intention of carrying out an intense action. During the negotiation of the Ultimate Knowledge, the three Universal Civilizations had tried to get them to deal with the Supercluster Alliance. Even though Han Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the Modo Civilization, for the sake of the big picture, he could only express his refusal.
In the plan, the development union's biggest purpose was to provide a communication platform. The first mission was to slowly integrate the resources of the various members through the platform and try to form a Beyond Grade A union of interests. Only by gathering this huge network of interests and solidifying the foundation would there be meaning in forming a united front. Otherwise, the development union would just be an empty shell.
"Doing this will take a very long time, and the three Universal Civilizations will definitely stop it. Therefore, before it's done, the development union won't have the energy to do anything else … Even if those Beyond Grade As have their own ideas, they won't show it in the early stages. They'll only support the integration of resources and achieve a win-win situation."
Han Xiao scratched his chin with his thumb and muttered to himself.
The Beyond Grade A Association had just been established. Regardless of whether it was Manison or himself, there was still a long way to go. This was a long-term project, and the time unit was at least ten years. It could not be rushed, so there was no need to worry about it all the time.
It was worth mentioning that Sorokin, as the only exception, had used money and connections to open the way and squeeze into the council seat where the peak Beyond Grade As gathered.
After Han Xiao learned about Sorokin's attitude from Traveler, he did not show it on the surface but secretly paid close attention to this guy. Now that the situation had changed, the enemy was out in the open while he was in the dark, Han Xiao, as a shareholder of the financial group, did not exclude Sorokin, as that would only alert the other party.
However, as the saying went, reverse training made Ma Zhe rich. Other things aside, Sorokin was still quite good at making money.
"This way, my goal has been achieved. When the Calamity of the Supers erupts, I'll be able to intervene with a high position and even guide the main storyline of this version …" Han Xiao let out a breath and relaxed.
Beyond Grade As were the pinnacle of individual strength, they were the idols of countless Supers. When Beyond Grade As gathered together, they could guide the movements of the entire Super class to a certain extent. This was also an important reason why the influence of the Calamity of the Supers spread across the universe so quickly.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Han Xiao opened the forums and browsed through the players' opinions on this matter.
As expected, the focus of the players was not on the significance of the development union but the names of so many Beyond Grade As. They were very interested in talking about these NPCs.
He even saw a post by a Chinese player, using the style of Liangshan Lake as a reference to the Beyond Grade A Association, arranging the seats of every Beyond Grade A member.
Protector of Righteousness Manison, Jade Qilin Black Star, Star of Wisdom Kasuyi, Dragon in the Clouds Milizaus, Flowery Monk Sierron, Little Whirlwind Sorokin, Secret Master Nine Tattooed Dragons …
Seeing his acquaintances being listed one by one, Han Xiao's lips curled upward.
When he saw Hella's nickname, he finally could not hold it in anymore and laughed wildly.
"Female Yaksha Hella? Puhahahaha! "
"What are you laughing at?"
This time, Aurora walked in and was shocked to see Han Xiao's overjoyed expression.
"Ahem, nothing."
Han Xiao held back his laughter, wiped the corners of his eyes, and waved at Aurora. "Come closer."
Aurora heard this and walked in front of Han Xiao. She was suddenly summoned to the office, so she was confused.
Han Xiao suddenly grabbed Aurora's arm and squeezed it all the way to her shoulder.
Aurora's body stiffened, and she stood where she was, curious and nervous.
"You … What are you doing?"
Han Xiao sized her up, retracted his hand, and said, "I see that your bones are amazing. Even if you suffer a backlash, you can still hold on."
"W-What do you mean?"
Pa!
Hearing this, Han Xiao took out the Holy Light Particle containment device, slapped it on the table, and smiled.
"I went to the secondary dimension this time and found a new Primal Esper Ability Entity. I want to inject it into your body. What do you think?"
Han Xiao explained. After some consideration, he decided to find a host for the Holy Light Particle.
He valued the new power system brought by the Holy Light Seed, and this would consume the Origin Essence. Therefore, finding a host who could use the Life Potion to treat kidney deficiency was more useful than making a Mysterious Energy Host.
Aurora, who had the Life Esper Ability, was naturally the first choice. Letting her be the host would basically prevent kidney deficiency.
If not, Han Xiao would consider Evans, the host in his previous life.
"Primal Esper Ability?" Aurora opened her eyes wide and looked at the golden energy in the containment device curiously.
The Holy Light Particle was unhappy. It sent out an angry psychic wave. "Hey, this is the host you found for me? She's way too young! "
"Young? She's only about ten years younger than me." Han Xiao rolled his eyes.
"What! A Beyond Grade A like you is at least a few hundred years old! "The Holy Light Particle was even more furious." Then, isn't she a few hundred years old too? How shameless, still pretending to be young! "
"… Can I kill it?"
Aurora was speechless.
I … Pfft, I have a lot of vitality. I'm young to begin with. Pretend my ass!
The Holy Light Particle was still unwilling to give up. "I want a strong male host. Only then will he be worthy of my power!"
Han Xiao had already figured out its temperament. He said with an annoyed tone, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you keep talking, I'll give you to the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy and let it play with you."
The Holy Light Particle instantly shut up and cowered very efficiently.
Han Xiao pressed the containment device, and the needle popped out. Seeing this, Aurora reluctantly reached out her hand, bit her lip, and let Han Xiao poke the needle into her body.
Boom!
The next moment, a strong light suddenly exploded before Han Xiao's eyes like a flare!
