Chapter 724: [Celestial Phenomena - Freedom Breaking Boundaries], [Ideology - Ancient Beliefs]

The Civilization Relic.

Hogg was instructing two hundred Bloodsucking Werewolves, conducting the most basic transformation and berserk training.

Not far away, Roberts was with the researchers, collecting data and information on this group of Bloodsucking Werewolves.

Yu Yuan looked at Roberts.

"How is it?"

"Leader, excellent!" Roberts' gaze toward the group of Bloodsucking Werewolves revealed a look of satisfaction.

"Using the modification serum created from Hogg's genes, the energy conduction and body modification levels are very high. In Hogg's own words, the bloodline is pure. Every single Bloodsucking Werewolf has reached Bronze-tier strength, meeting the pure-blood standard."

"Directly entering Bronze-tier?"

Yu Yuan was not surprised.

Although Hogg's current Life Level was only Silver-tier, the genes within his body were far from simple.

The Wolf Clan bloodline had been reinforced by Old Dog's Fang pendant and the blessing of that [Glory of the Wolf Clan] skull.

To a certain extent, his bloodline was now infinitely close to Old Dog's level.

As for the other bloodline within him, Lilith's bloodline, that was even more extraordinary.

Lilith was the child of Absinthe and the Blood Duke. Flowing through her veins was the genetic material of two beings at the Superdimensional Level above Gold.

Truly of impeccable pedigree, without equal.

Hogg, having integrated Lilith's genes, now carried the genes of three beings above Gold-tier within him.

Silver-tier was nowhere near Hogg's end point; it could only be considered his starting point.

When the Bloodsucking Werewolves finished their training, Yu Yuan called Hogg over and asked about his mastery of the Blood Flame (red flame).

A trace of a smile appeared on Hogg's face, clearly indicating that things were going rather well.

He pointed at the white wolf-shaped skull worn on his head.

"Leader, thanks to this thing, my control over my bloodline has advanced a step further, and my mastery of the Blood Flame has deepened accordingly. Although I still can't release and retract it at will, it's still much stronger than before."

"It's just that I feel there's still room for improvement. The bloodline isn't quite complete yet."

Yu Yuan naturally understood the root of the matter.

The recognition of 'Civilization'.

"Don't rush. Once we're fully prepared, that will be the day you gain the recognition of 'Civilization' and break through."

Yu Yuan looked toward the sky.

"When that time comes, I'm afraid we'll no longer be able to stay behind the scenes. We'll have to face all the malice head-on."

A fierce glint appeared in Hogg's eyes.

"Understood. I'll lead the Bloodsucking Werewolves and tear apart every enemy that stands in the way of our civilization's advance..."

[Celestial Phenomena - Breaking the Bounds of Freedom]

Quality: Gold

Effect: When undergoing enhancement, breakthrough, or evolution, may trigger one effect of breaking through limits.

——————

Wasteland Calendar Day 129.

A new Celestial Phenomena Card had appeared.

Yu Yuan looked at the information on the Virtual Light Screen, and many thoughts ran through his mind.

The application scenarios for this card were simply too numerous.

But precisely because of that, its value was all the more precious.

Putting the card away, he still hadn't decided how to use it, but there was no rush.

Time was on his side.

Leaving the Starry Sky Library, he returned to the shelter and walked into the Hidden Library.

Yu Yuan's gaze fell upon the display rack, where a silver-white card lay prominently.

He stepped forward and picked it up.

[Thought Tide Card - Ancient Faith]

Quality: Silver

Effect: Using this card on a target deepens the connection between the target and a mysterious entity, and possesses the special trait effect of 'Proselytizing'.

When conducting rituals, sacrifices, dark activities, and similar, it becomes easier to explore the mental world of the mysterious entity and see its true appearance. As the connection deepens, one may choose to understand or summon the mysterious entity.

However, during the deepening of the connection, one may easily glimpse secrets far beyond the current depth, causing Mental Shock and falling into [Madness]. Please use with caution.

"Thought Tide..."

It had been a long time since Yu Yuan had obtained a Thought Tide Card.

This kind of card was undoubtedly, like that [Thought Tide Card - Unclean Thoughts] from before, most highly compatible with Mona.

This card might provide significant assistance in seizing the faith authority of the Snake of Rebirth.

As for the so-called hidden secrets and the threat of [Madness]...

Yu Yuan indicated that he couldn't ask for more!

Half an hour later, the new batch of Hidden Library intelligence refreshed on schedule.

Yu Yuan picked up that [Global News Weekly] and read the latest week's news.

But the moment he saw the first line of text, the decent mood he'd had from obtaining a Gold Celestial Phenomena Card and a Thought Tide Card.

Instantly sank to rock bottom.

- [Mechanical Vanguard Society Routed, Terra Continent Completely Overrun.]

Quality: Gold

Danger Level: High

Our newspaper's

</path> war correspondent reports from the front lines:

Late last night, the headquarters of the Mechanical Vanguard Society on the Terra Continent fell completely under the attack of the black oil creatures.

In this single battle, the Mechanical Vanguard Society's casualties totaled 1,324 people, including 112 mechanical-modifiers and 9 Mechanical Executors.

At the same time, the Supreme Leader Halaiy was killed in action, and all remaining members of the Mechanical Vanguard Society fled in disarray.

They are currently in the coastal region of the Terra Continent, preparing to cross the frozen ocean ice field. This is destined to be a desperate flight with no hope of survival.

Meanwhile, all forces within EDEN have also completely vacated their premises.

Thus, the Terra Continent has fallen completely.

————————

Yu Yuan's chest tightened slightly.

"The Mechanical Vanguard Society was overrun this quickly! Those oil creatures really are a stubborn nuisance! And also, the quality rating of this newspaper is actually Gold?"

The progression of events had completely exceeded Yu Yuan's plans.

In his view, the Mechanical Vanguard Society should have stalled the oil creatures for at least a while longer.

Instead, they had directly fled in defeat.

"The threat of the oil creatures is growing greater and greater. Add to that the fact that the oil creatures were also expanding in the Northern Wilderness before..."

He thought of the Oil Giant he'd only managed to kill by going all-out last time.

Yu Yuan sent a message to Carmen.

[Wolf Den · King: From this moment on, Green Forest City enters Level Three combat readiness. The Northern Wilderness enters priority surveillance. Real-time monitoring of activity within a hundred-kilometer radius is mandatory.]

[Lone Wolf: Understood!]

The tacit understanding between the two required no further explanation. Carmen immediately understood that a major threat factor had emerged in the Northern Wilderness.

He began deploying at once.

Yu Yuan also fully trusted Carmen's professional competence.

His gaze continued down the newspaper.

Seeing the second news item, the gloom in his heart immediately dispersed considerably.

The Pioneering Group led by Alpha had made contact with the Felda Revolutionary Army.

Originally, the Felda Revolutionary Army had still harbored illusions of luck.

Unwilling to submit, and with their strength being genuinely respectable, they'd thought they could put up a fight.

But against the unstoppable Pioneering Group and the Molten Believer Legion's assault.

Their combat vehicles and armor were like paper.

They were directly pierced through by the warriors of the Alliance of Nations, collapsing at the first touch.

Even their tactical nuclear missiles, with Alpha already having full intelligence on them beforehand, were all captured by the recon squads before they could even enter battle.

This wasn't a contest of equals at all. This was a complete slaughter.

The Upper Management of the Felda Revolutionary Army still planned to escape aboard warships.

But they lost power from a single round of attacks by the Missile Launch Vehicles and ended up dead in the water.

The Pioneering Group had achieved a total victory.

The reason Yu Yuan hadn't received Alpha's report was probably because he was still conducting post-battle inventories. Likely, the relevant report would reach him before long.

Then Yu Yuan looked at the final news item in the weekly paper.

Its quality rating was - Gold-tier.
