Chapter 1494
Chapter 1460: Special Talent Defense Meeting! (Two-in-One)
Steve Guts engaged in a fierce battle with the Awakened Priscilla, filled with anger.
Every punch he threw, imbued with Armament Haki, could shatter the ground and unleash sound bursts that stirred up fierce winds.
Priscilla's palms, which could easily instantly kill Awakened Beings and even severely wound Abyssal Ones, were fragile against Steve Guts's punches.
The moment they touched, they would explode into chunks of flesh splashing with purple blood.
Although she could quickly regenerate each time, even growing third and fourth arms to join the pincer attack, she was still clearly at a disadvantage.
This was the first time Priscilla had ever encountered such a situation.
There was actually a monster in the world with strength greater than hers?
Yes.
She had already seen that Steve Guts was not human.
But an unknown creature with a strange aura and scent.
However, what Priscilla didn't know was that it was precisely her statement and view that enraged Steve Guts.
Since the Nuclear World joined the World Government, the former's influence on the latter had been increasing daily.
Especially the various applications of the Internet.
However, the World Government replicated them onto the 'Star Sea Den Den Mushi Network System'.
This allowed every department of the World Government to have its own online chat room.
In other words, groups.
The military was naturally the same; every troop's squad, company, battalion, and even groups categorized by military rank existed.
It was the same for them, the lieutenant generals.
They were roughly divided into six lieutenant general groups.
One was the General Lieutenant General Group, which all lieutenant general ranks could enter.
There were also Groups for the Army Headquarters, Marine Headquarters, Staff Department, Ministry of Police Affairs, and Star Realm Army.
Lieutenant General Steve Gus joined the General Lieutenant General Group and the Army Headquarters Lieutenant General Group.
However, according to the rules, the troop number and name had to be indicated in the nickname.
So his nickname was naturally [Kabaneri Troops Steve Guts].
The problem lay here. As soon as other lieutenant generals in the group saw this, some sharp-tongued ones mocked the Kabaneri Troops as troops of the Star Realm Army.
They said Steve Guts should go to the Star Realm Army's Lieutenant General Group.
Even though he explained multiple times that he was a Sea Star Person and his military rank belonged to the Army Headquarters.
Yet, many lieutenant generals still ridiculed him, saying things like, "You're perfectly good as a Sea Star Person, why choose a monster enhancement with almost no potential for advancement? You might as well just go be an Otherworlder!"
This caused Steve Guts and these lieutenant generals to argue fiercely in the group several times, only ceasing hostilities each time after the group owner muted both sides.
To be honest, Steve Guts had considered the thought of exchanging for 'White Serum' to eliminate the 'Nue Form Kabaneri' lineage factor inside the body.
But under the repeated dissuasion of Minister Kong and Marshal Raymond, and the comfort of his wife Mekko, he still dismissed the idea.
The former two meant that the military needed his current identity to become a high combat power pillar for the Star Realm Army, and also to help manage the increasing number of Kabaneri Warriors.
The latter's points were twofold.
One, you are already familiarized with the Kabaneri's strength, are you truly willing to give it up?
Two, after eliminating it, do you still have the confidence to reach your current strength?
Indeed, Steve Guts was previously just a low-level member of Cipher Pol.
It was the strength of the 'Nue Form Kabaneri' that pushed him to his current strength.
However, strictly speaking, it was the 'Nue Form Kabaneri' that stimulated his physical ability potential as a Sea Star Person.
Otherwise, if it were a Kabaneri World Person, even if they became a 'Nue Form Kabaneri', they wouldn't be much stronger.
Just like Uryuu and Arakawa Kibito, who participated in the previous 'Top 100 Competition', they were also 'Nue Form Kabaneri', but they only achieved the eighty-seventh and eighty-fourth rankings.
But what if Steve Guts participated? Kyros would probably have to stand aside.
In other words, the 'Nue Form Kabaneri' enhancement.
It was equivalent to realizing his body potential in a short period.
The price was that the possibility of continued improvement was almost nonexistent, at least for now.
Because the 'Kabaneri' enhancement causes the blood to maintain a high temperature, burning many cells inside the body.
This is also why he changed from a white person to a 'Black Figure'.
So he was destined to remain at his current strength for a long time.
This was something most Sea Star Powerhouses found unacceptable.
Especially since the lieutenant generals in the group had all risen step by step through their own effort.
They would dislike someone like Steve Guts who took a shortcut even more.
In short, Steve Guts became famous among the lieutenant general ranks within the military, but not for a good reputation.
Some malicious people even said he should be kicked out of the Army Headquarters Lieutenant General Group and stay honestly in the Star Realm Army Lieutenant General Group.
It would be best to transfer down his military rank establishment to the Star Realm Army and make him the face of the Otherworlders completely!
Facing such ridicule, Steve Guts gnashed his teeth and sought out the other party multiple times for a big fight.
The result was a mix of wins and losses, as everyone was a lieutenant general and not weak.
At the same time, he placed more importance on his identity as a Sea Star Person and refused the invitation to the Star Realm Army Lieutenant General Group.
He declared that although the Kabaneri Troops were subordinate to the Star Realm Army.
He, Steve Guts, was an Army Headquarters Lieutenant General, so they should stop trying to associate with him!
Now his reputation on both sides became not so good.
Fortunately, Steve Guts's combat power was genuine.
And with Minister Kong and Marshal Raymond covering for him, no one could truly do anything to him.
However, the Priscilla before him was not an easy opponent either.
Her ability to create Yoki Power and flesh and blood from infinite hatred in her heart made her very difficult to defeat, coupled with her formidable strength, speed, and reaction.
Even Lieutenant General Steve Gus couldn't take her down in a short time.
Not to mention there was a Destroyer, also a 'Super Abyssal', in the distance occasionally joining in.
But Lieutenant General Steve Gus was still full of confidence.
Because he was a noble Sea! Star! Person!
Fear Energy Bullet!!!
In an instant, purple-blue mental energy erupted from Steve Guts, transforming into a surging energy torrent that swept across the entire area.
"What is this?" Priscilla raised her right arm to block in front of her, exclaiming in surprise.
This aura assailing her face actually caused her to feel inexplicable fear.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have lost their rationality and become completely trapped in panic, unable to extricate themselves.
Boom!
The next moment.
To resist the impact of this Fear Energy, Priscilla immediately released an even more immense Yoki Power inside the body.
Purple radiance enveloped her entire body, pushing away the incoming purple-blue energy.
At this moment, the mental energy of fear and hatred were like fire and water in the area, yielding not an inch.
The earth was cracking, the air was twisting, and even purple and blue energy lightning was faintly erupting.
Only the giant Destroyer could stand firm on the battlefield with its own Yoki Power, watching the standoff between the two sides.
The true fierce battle finally began.
Northern land.
Covered in white snow, with cold wind howling, deep in the snow mountain about twenty kilometers from the volcano.
At this moment, a vast, bustling camp appeared here, where snow didn't fall, wind didn't blow, and the internal temperature was comfortable. It was filled with multi-story stone buildings and flat cement roads.
"Please show your identification!"
When Dae followed Kazahana Yuki to the camp gate.
He saw a blue-clothed soldier guarding there walk up.
Immediately, he saw Kazahana Yuki take out her ninja identification and hand it to the soldier.
"What about this one?"
The Star Realm Soldier looked at the content inside.
While returning the identification, he shifted his gaze to Dae.
At this moment, Dae was watching the armored vehicles entering and exiting and the various aircraft flying in the air.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions like surprise, expectation, and excitement.
Along the way, he had already heard Kazahana Yuki briefly introduce the World Government.
Now, witnessing the tip of the iceberg firsthand, he was captivated.
"He is a scientist from this world, Dae, a level 1 target. I am under orders to bring him back."
Kazahana Yuki gave a simple explanation.
"Alright."
The Star Realm Soldier didn't ask further.
Because the sound "Scan complete, identity correct" had already sounded in his ear.
Kazahana Yuki led Dae into the camp, and a warm feeling immediately assailed his face.
"Th-This. How is this done?!" Dae immediately stopped his steps, utterly shocked.
"I don't see a Barrier Jutsu, it should be the work of those mages."
Kazahana Yuki glanced at the sky and said casually, "In terms of improving life comfort, they are indeed better at it than us ninjas."
"Let's go. First, let's meet the Base Commander here. He should also be the World Government Branch Minister of your world."
Dae murmured in a low voice, "Magic..."
It wasn't that he couldn't understand the word.
In this world, which was equivalent to ancient medieval times, there were also various legends about magic.
But legends were just legends. Who would have thought they would actually appear before his eyes?
Along the rest of the way, Dae felt like he was just seeing the sights.
He saw far too many things and scenes that were beyond his comprehension.
This included the Yoma and Awakened Beings being escorted by Star Realm Soldiers and ninjas, who were lining up to walk towards the center of the camp.
During this time, he even encountered a scene where a Yoma attempted to break free from its handcuffs and leg cuffs and resist, but was burned to death by flames that suddenly erupted from its body.
Perhaps he had asked too many questions along the way.
At that time, the female ninja didn't wait for him to ask and directly told him that it was the improved version effect of Fire Release Ninjutsu: Heavenly Prison.
Soon, Dae met the Base Commander Benjamin, who was said to be a Division-Level Official, in a meeting room.
"Welcome, Doctor Dae."
Benjamin, wearing a suit and leather shoes, was very enthusiastic.
He was about to become the Minister of the Claymore World. For high-level talent like Dae, who was destined to enter the Biochemical Research Institute, he naturally placed great importance on him.
"Doctor?"
Dae didn't understand. Benjamin smiled and said, "Doctor is a professional rank level in the Academy of Science. Of course, it's also an academic rank..."
After hearing the other party's introduction, Dae understood.
The other party was purely being polite.
Even if he entered the Biochemical Research Institute mentioned by the other party, it was probably impossible to be directly granted doctorate qualification.
The best result would be senior researcher, but the high probability was starting from intermediate researcher.
However, Dae didn't care about this. He was more interested in the Biochemical Research Institute itself.
It was a scientific research department under the World Government Academy of Sciences specifically responsible for research in the biochemical field.
It gathered the top scientists from various worlds.
It could research the magical creatures and bioweapons from all the worlds encountered by the World Government.
In other words, there would be many similar people here!
The most suffering thing he had felt over the past hundred years was not the severe pain brought by modifying his body, but the fact that no one could communicate with him normally.
Minister Benjamin smiled and said, "Doctor Dae, Director Fritz of the Biochemical Research Institute heard about your matter and expressed his willingness to prepare a 'Special Talent Defense Meeting' for you. He will meet with you along with several other doctors and senior researchers."
Dae raised an eyebrow. This was an assessment for him.
"Okay, where and when?"
He was very confident in his research level.
"Right now. I'll contact Director Fritz." After speaking, Minister Benjamin personally operated the Video Den Den Mushi on the tabletop.
Soon, as light emitted from the Den Den Mushi's eyes, a virtual screen instantly appeared mid-air.
This scene stunned Dae.
Fortunately, he had been surprised enough times along the way that he was already used to these magical things.
"Who are you?"
Director Fritz appeared on the screen, but he didn't recognize Minister Benjamin.
The corner of the latter's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He's still as forgetful as ever. Didn't we just chat for two minutes the day before yesterday?
"Director Fritz, I am the Government Branch Minister of the Claymore World. Doctor Dae has arrived at the base and is ready to accept your Special Talent Defense at any time."
"Oh----"
Director Fritz was suddenly enlightened and slapped his head:
"Sorry, I've been a bit too busy lately and didn't react for a moment."
Minister Benjamin quickly waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright. Then I'll leave first. You and Doctor Dae have a good chat."
He then aimed the Video Den Den Mushi at Dae and stood up, saying, "After it's over, call out to the people outside, and they will take you to your temporary residence."
"Thank you very much."
Dae nodded to show understanding.
After Minister Benjamin left, he looked up at the virtual screen mid-air.
He and Director Fritz on the screen looked at each other across worlds.
"Hello, Scientist Dae, I am Director Fritz of the Biochemical Research Institute."
"Hello, I am Dae, a... researcher from the Greatsword Organization."
Dae introduced himself with some hesitation, truly not knowing what else to say besides this.
Director Fritz let out a hearty laugh: "Haha, don't worry about it. We know you are the top scientist in the Claymore World."
"However, you'll need to wait a moment here. This old man needs to call the others over. After all, this 'Special Talent Defense' is the first time we're doing it too."
"Teacher, is this the person from that new world who specializes in researching Yoma? Why is half his face ruined? Let's help him with treatment when he gets here."
At this moment, a man with double horns on his head and long black hair peeked out from the virtual screen, curiously examining Dae.
"Ah, don't mess around, Caesar!"
"Hurry up and notify Muzan, Queen, Zhuang Wei, Orochimaru, Dorothea, and the others to join this channel. Tell them the 'Special Talent Defense' is about to begin!"
"Shurororororo~"
"Teacher, can I participate too?"
"Do you have time? Besides your own project, don't you still have to teach Sasori, Elaine, and Tian Zhi?"
"They are quite smart, teaching them isn't difficult. Especially Sasori, his talent is really good, Shurororororo~"
"But I always feel he's not quite suited to stay here..."
"Alright, that depends on his choice in the future. You go notify everyone first!"
"Then can I participate?"
"Alright, alright, just come back and sit next to me!"
Dae sat alone in the meeting room, watching the two people on the screen, who seemed to be master and disciple, talking back and forth, speechless...
Thank you very much to the reader 'and people with depression' for the 300 Qidian Coin tip! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
