Chapter 120 : Chapter 120
Chapter 120: The Military Conference! Tonight!
The moment Zero’s attributes underwent their dramatic transformation, Ye Ze was exhilarated.
The combination of the trait [Four-Dimensional Extremity] and the effect of [Equivalent Exchange] had completely achieved a result greater than the sum of its parts!
Zero’s four attributes had all broken past one thousand!
And in fact, under the Super Summoned Beast Space’s twenty percent attribute bonus, all four had reached 1,200!
In terms of total attribute value, he was now almost on par with Panda, who was equipped with a full legendary set.
After Panda’s legendary set had risen to five stars during the great battle, its overall attributes had increased, with its highest Agility and Constitution both surpassing 1,270, so in terms of raw single-attribute strength, Panda still remained the strongest.
Without that level of strength, not inferior to a fifth-rank, it would have been impossible to wield the Fire-Tipped Lance and instantly kill two sixth-ranks.
A myth-grade item was powerful, yes, but in the end, it still depended on the user.
Even so, with Panda, Mantis, Fox Immortal, and Zero now all possessing combat power comparable to the fifth rank, Ye Ze was still extremely strong even without using myth-grade items.
But every time he thought of Zhu Jiu, Ye Ze’s head began to ache again.
Just then, Ye Ze suddenly received a call from Wan Feipeng. The front line had just driven back several waves of Fiends and was preparing to return...“What? A high-level military conference, and I have to attend too?”
He had never even heard of such a conference, but according to Wan Feipeng’s explanation, only the chiefs of the major regions and King-ranked sixth-rank powerhouses were qualified to attend it.
And now, Ye Ze had received an invitation as well.
“All right, then. I’m not far from the Demon Suppression Army Treasury anyway. I’ll be there shortly.”
Ye Ze hung up the call, settled one of his exchange opportunities with the attendant, and left the Demon Suppression Army Treasury.
Not far away stood Demon Suppression Army Headquarters.
Countless Demon Suppression Army soldiers were patrolling and guarding the area. The moment Ye Ze approached, he was stopped by the guards at the main gate.
“Halt!”
Ye Ze could not help sighing. Clearly, he had not yet reached the point where his face alone was enough to get him through.
Then, following Wan Feipeng’s instructions, he took out the black privilege card with the gold border and handed it to the two guards who had come over.
In the very next moment, both men’s expressions turned solemn with respect, and they straightened and saluted.
“Greetings, sir!”
Ye Ze nodded, and from that point onward, his path all the way to the headquarters conference room was completely unobstructed.
At the doors to the conference room, two security attendants pushed open the massive doors for him from either side.
Wei Zheng, Wu Ming, three other regional chiefs, and many sixth-rank Class Users including Tong Mo were gathered around the round table inside.
When they saw Ye Ze, all of them could not help glancing his way.
After all, a person this young had never before participated in a headquarters military conference.
“Ye Ze, Ye Ze!” Wan Feipeng waved repeatedly.
Ye Ze took the seat Wan Feipeng had reserved beside him, and the latter mysteriously slipped something into his hand.
“Heh, I seem to remember you needed this?”
Ye Ze opened his palm in puzzlement and found that it was actually a crimson canine fang, an Origin Fragment!
【Origin Fragment - Tiangou】
Although this fragment did not possess a special effect like Evil Ghost or Ao, it could at least still be turned into Source Power.
Ye Ze was still badly lacking in Source Power. At present, he had less than 3,000 points left.
And beyond what Evil Ghost and Ao required...Ye Ze had discovered that Samadhi True Fire and the Fire-Tipped Lance also seemed able to use Source Power to restore their strength!
Myth-grade items would definitely be depleted once they were used, and origin power seemed to be one way to replenish them.
In any case, the more Origin Fragments, the better!
Ye Ze accepted the fragment and secretly gave Wan Feipeng a thumbs-up.
“Reliable!”
He also casually sent another message with that gesture: bring more Origin Fragments in the future!
Wan Feipeng clenched his right fist and thumped it against his chest, indicating: Rest easy. Leave it to your big brother.
At the head of the table, Wei Zheng ignored their strange little exchange and said to everyone in the already full conference room, “Everyone is here, so let’s begin.”
“Although the Fiend Sovereign has retreated, the fighting on the national front remains extremely tense, so I’ll keep this brief...”
“The second phase of the [Myth Revival] expansion is about to begin! The second myth-grade Secret Realm is not far off!”
The moment those words were spoken, many people in the conference room turned their eyes toward Ye Ze.
From Ye Ze’s ability to drive back the Fiend Sovereign, it was easy to see just how outrageous the treasure from a myth-grade Secret Realm could be!
Now that a second one was about to appear, no one present did not want a chance to secure it.
What was more, if they could gain one more myth-grade treasure, then perhaps next time they faced a Fiend Sovereign, they would have a better chance.
“The second Secret Realm may not appear much later...”
“But before that, there are still two important matters we must deal with.”
Wei Zheng changed his tone, his expression turning grave. “The Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire can no longer hold back the Fiends!”
“Nearly half of both nations’ territory has already fallen, and the dead and wounded among civilians and Class Users are nearing one hundred million!”
At the end, he said in a heavy voice, “We have to provide support.”
The moment he said that, quite a few people looked displeased, and even Ye Ze felt thoroughly irritated.
Why should they support them?
Would it not be better if they were all wiped out?
But no one present was slow-witted. Very quickly, they realized one thing: when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold.
If the two other great nations of Blue Star were completely swallowed by the Fiends and all turned into Contaminated Lands, then what would happen to China?
They would inevitably be attacked from three sides!
Moreover, once large portions of Blue Star’s land became Contaminated Lands, more and more Fiends would breed there, creating endless future disasters.
At that moment, Wu Ming let out a cold snort.
“We have no choice but to support them, and the higher-ups of those two nations know that perfectly well.”
“They have directly abandoned their capitals and retreated with their families and top-tier Class Users into wealthy districts, planning to dump all the pressure from the Fiends onto our side!”
“Damn those bastards!” Wan Feipeng cursed furiously.
“Agreed. They deserve death.” Tong Mo’s expression also turned cold.
“Perhaps from the moment they chose to block us from entering the Secret Realm, they had already gone mad.”
As Shi Qing spoke, the others all looked equally furious, some even cursing aloud.
At that moment, Wei Zheng, as the overall commander, looked grim and decisive. He closed his hand into a fist and said:
“So I’ve made my decision. We wipe them all out!”
The moment those words fell, the conference room instantly went silent, and Wei Zheng continued:
“We are absolutely going to defend against the Fiends.”
“But high-level figures and top-tier Class Users like those in the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire do not deserve to be called human. They will become a great future threat!”
“So tomorrow, part of our strength will go abroad to resist the Fiends.”
“And another part will form squads! They will infiltrate, assassinate, and purge these scum of Blue Star!”
Purge the high-level figures and top-tier Class Users of the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire!
In other words, was this not the same as unifying the three nations!?
If it truly succeeded, it would absolutely be a historic moment!
What was more, without those useless parasites and scum dragging things down, perhaps defeating the Fiends would become much easier as well!
“Does anyone have any objections?”
Wei Zheng’s gaze swept across the room, but his expression remained incomparably firm.
The people present were equally stirred with excitement, their fighting spirit surging.
At that moment, Ye Ze suddenly raised his hand. “I object.”
Wan Feipeng, Wei Zheng, and everyone else all turned confused, puzzled, and questioning eyes toward Ye Ze.
And then he said leisurely, “I think tomorrow is too late.”
“Tonight. Right now.”
“Not one of them should be allowed to live a moment longer.”
“We leave early and come back early. When I return tomorrow morning, I still want to be in time for breakfast in Linyuan City...”
