The Direction That Goes Inversely
Chapter 1493 The Direction That Goes Inversely
The so-called power does not come from the beast soul, but from the grafting of human genes.
The Silvermoon people, who already looked down on humans, felt insulted by their bloodline and thought the people of Crystal City were all trash.
They even concealed the news of the Beast God's death and dared to exploit his body...
Impulsive management then revealed the reasons for the energy shortage.
Now, with both old and new grudges combined, it's impossible for anyone, regardless of reason, to remain calm.
The Silvermoon people spontaneously rushed to storm the gates of Crystal City.
What was originally just a decorative, transparent defensive structure instantly became a solid entity, making it impossible even for the management team, who could previously pass through easily, to get through.
Crystal City offered no response. Behind the empty, transparent curtain, the brightly lit Fairy Tale City, suspended high in the sky, further enraged the Silver Moon people, who were already suffering from several days of inconvenience and burning with anger.
But no matter how angry they were, the defense system of a level three civilization could not be broken.
The people of Silvermoon City do indeed possess the purest beast souls, but because their beast soul levels are not very high, their wildness as beasts has not been completely eliminated.
What was originally a minor flaw was magnified to the extreme under intense emotions.
Impulsiveness, bloodlust, cruelty... Countless people have been driven to rage, and with nowhere to vent their emotions, they have instead catalyzed those terrible instincts.
I don't know who started it, but under the guise of purifying genes, they changed course and went to wipe out the loess areas that should no longer exist.
The logic is simple: without humans, the orcs' genes won't be mixed.
Powerless against the "hybrids," they chose the easiest target. They seemed to completely ignore the fact that most of the victims in their genetic experiments were from outer space…
Human-to-human transmission is a phenomenon that can easily occur in a specific environment.
Even if some people initially sensed something was wrong, under the irresistible force of that tide, more and more people turned back to the yellow earth.
The out-of-control orcs had bloodshot eyes, and some even showed signs of atavism. They were panting heavily and completely unable to communicate.
Management was aware of the seriousness of the situation, but they were powerless to intervene against the overwhelming personal will.
Their persuasion seemed weak and insignificant in the face of Crystal City's impenetrable defenses, drowned out by various angry doubts.
Even when managers themselves try to stop it, their anger rises, and their thinking inevitably turns against them.
Why bother? Let the people in the Loess Plateau die; they're useless anyway.
The purpose of preserving the loess area in Jingyao City is precisely to provide high-quality genetically modified individuals, isn't it?
Why not take this opportunity to sever the supply base of Crystal City, giving no chance to those disgusting things trying to mix orc genes, and also to purge the purity of the Annie demons' species...
Even though the reasoning and logic are flawed, it's hard for management not to have such thoughts, let alone ordinary people.
Driven by rage, the people marched valiantly toward the Graystone settlement.
The "boom" sound was the sound of the Beast Soul Mech starting up.
"Who gave them the permission to fly the mechs?!" the administrator roared, his voice filled with mixed emotions. "All of you, get back here! Assassins who can't even kill a chicken don't need mechs! Don't let them get accidentally injured..."
His shouts were drowned out by a cacophony of self-proclaimed justice.
Silvermoon City is in chaos.
People who indulge their instincts abandon reason and vent their anger at will.
Before even reaching Graystone Settlement, hovercars forced to stop on the ground due to energy shortages, public facilities, and shops in Silvermoon City were all vandalized by passing vehicles.
Some people sensed something was wrong and regained their senses. Many more, however, enjoyed the unbridled pleasure, taking the opportunity to vent and become increasingly unrestrained.
The riots in Silvermoon City were completely out of control in the short term.
Fortunately, the chaotic scene gradually separated those driven by instinct from those who were returning to reason.
The exhausted administrators were almost moved to tears when they saw their compatriots returning to normal, but when they thought about how many people who were out of control were still at the forefront, including some who were taking the opportunity to cause trouble... they felt like tearing Vallejo apart.
But right now, they can't break through Crystal City, so they can only go back first, bring back their own people, and control the situation.
The people of the Loess Plateau are unimportant, but how could the self-proclaimed elite Silvermoon people turn into completely out-of-control savages? What difference would that make between them and the low-level orcs of the Graystone Settlement who live by instinct?
The hard-won civilized order cannot be allowed to collapse because of this, otherwise wouldn't Crystal City have reduced Silver Moon's strength without lifting a finger?
Once people get a taste of the benefits of such a chaotic order, it becomes difficult to maintain control.
Even if we wipe out the entire population of the Loess Plateau, can these unruly people really still stand against Crystal City?
What can they possibly use to fight against Crystal City? They might be stronger than humans, but completely unable to surpass the beast soul talents of the Crystal City people? Damn it!
This is absolutely terrifying!!
Damn Crystal City!
That damned Vallejo!
Just you wait!!
Lin Fan had no idea that Silvermoon City, where he had briefly stayed, was in complete chaos.
She was being reprimanded by the late-returning emperor.
The stinking old man from the Finch family was finally buried.
After feigning sadness for a few days, Edley finally and happily restored the living room to its original state.
"What did I tell you?" Qian Sui stood on the high back of the single sofa, licked her little paws, and said slowly, "Once you regain your powers, you will inevitably rely on them."
Chisui was right; Lin Fan and Antonio had no choice but to obediently bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
"You can't even use your brain." Thousand-Year-Old wagged its tail again, looking at Lin Fan. "What business is it of yours whether the World Tree exists or not? Do you need to investigate? Can you take the tree away, or help it grow back? Mind your own business!"
Lin Fan pouted from an angle that Qian Sui couldn't see.
That's what she says, but isn't she used to it?
It's one thing if there's no World Tree. But if there is, and it's severed, yet its roots still retain vitality, she's never seen one before.
Out of curiosity, without thinking too much about it, I just wanted to find out.
In any case, the method of using the corpse of the Burning Beast to transfer energy through the roots of the World Tree is indeed the first time I have seen it.
Why can't we say it's a special model where superpowers combine with science and then transform back into superpowers?
Perhaps it can also be used on Lanxing?
However, Lin Fan did not explain.
Chisui's prediction was correct; she had indeed relied too much on her superpowers. Lately, she had been acting solely based on her superpowered thinking, and had been far too negligent in dealing with the dual-functionality of her mecha.
Even in the high-tech environment of a Level 3 civilization, she still subconsciously used her supernatural abilities to clear a path...
It's not that it's impossible, but it does overly neglect the role of mechs.
She once dreamed of becoming a mecha user with superpowers. But now, the role of mechas has been greatly diminished, becoming a dispensable tool...
This outcome deviated from her original intention.
Moreover, the inherent power of the mechs was not further explored after Perlun. On Perlun, they were only used as radiation protection gear and transport vehicles.
Thinking about it this way, trying to do both things at once turned into getting excited about only one side.
This habit is indeed bad; she needs to pay attention to adjusting it and increase the intensity of mecha usage.
Otherwise, if you learn superpowers but lose your mecha, what's the difference between you and someone who initially had short legs but was only good at mechas?
She wanted a cumulative effect, not one replacing another.
After deep reflection, Lin Fan solemnly promised Qian Sui that he would spend the next period of time pushing the operational limits of the mecha and would never use his superpowers unless absolutely necessary. He would strive to achieve a true integration of mecha and superpowers.
Antonio immediately replied: Yes!
"There's no need to be so absolute." Chisui wagged her tail, jumped onto the cushion below, and lay down. "Just know what you're doing."
After saying that, it put its head on its paws, curled up, and went to sleep.
Antonio was making his usual compliments when the old butler burst in with a great commotion.
"Homeowner..."
Adrian was seriously considering changing butlers, and retorted angrily, "What is it? Do you even remember you're the Finch family's butler? Can't you have some basic manners?"
The butler's dignity had long been shattered by the events of the past few days, but he quickly composed himself and put on a calm demeanor before speaking.
"Master, breaking news: a riot has broken out in Silvermoon City. People who have lost their minds are trying to wipe out the Yellow Earth District and are now heading towards the Graystone Settlement."
Adrian frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
"Why are you telling me all this? Do you expect me to stop their riots? That's a good idea, but I don't have that ability."
“No,” the butler replied calmly, “it’s because of the patriarch’s properties in Graystone Settlement. According to the latest news, the rioters are vandalizing and destroying everything in sight. The patriarch’s ownership of properties there is a secret, and he has also amassed quite a few Yellow Earth People in his hands…”
Adrian thought for a moment and said, "That's right. We worked hard to earn it, so we can't let someone ruin it for nothing."
"Prepare the vehicles. Notify the guards who are still alive and able to move that if they want to continue receiving Finch's salary, they should equip themselves immediately."
"Remove the limestone!!"
