The advent of the sacred scriptures made it possible for us to achieve our initial goal of finding a viable way for all of humanity to continue to live on. Through the study of the sacred scriptures, we have also made great progress and breakthrough in the field of light energy technology. "Whether it"s for civilian use, labour use or even military use, the development of the entire Heroic Spirit Hall is moving towards pure light energy." Ben"s face gradually grew feverish. The old man said excitedly, "However, the harvest from the sacred scriptures is not only so. At that time, I was personally involved in the excavation work in the middle and late stages, and caught a special fluctuation. As a result, we discovered the secret research inst.i.tute that was built under this city. "
Ben swept his palm across the light screen, and yellow light formed a new model below the city. From the shape of the model, it looked like a crushed egg. The middle broke down into dozens of independent s.p.a.ces, and there were even new symbols that formed the functions of these s.p.a.ces. Of course, this was only a guess from the Heroic Spirit Hall.
Pointing to a room in the underground inst.i.tute, Ben said, "I have to say, this unknown civilization is not only ahead of us in terms of the technology of light energy, but also in terms of biogenetics. Right here, we found it. "It"s a giant sealed by some sort of culture trough, the Light Giant!"
"Giant of light?"
"Yes, it is so beautiful. In it, I saw the universe and the galaxy. Unfortunately, when we discovered it, the light from the giant quickly disappeared. After the b.l.o.o.d.y light that flowed into its body vanished, the giant quickly withered away. Now that I think about it, it must have deliberately fluctuated to attract our attention and thus discovered its existence. " Ben said regretfully, "If we had discovered it earlier, or if the giant had been able to hold on for a year, maybe we could have found a subst.i.tute for energy and let it live. In any case, it was dead. However, when we used its sections to study it, we found that the giant had an almost perfect sequence of genes. It was a perfect creature, zero, even G.o.d. Yes, G.o.d, that is the definition we give it. Other than G.o.d, what other creature would possess genes that are completely free of any flaws? "
"But it still died in the end." Zero said.
Ben said dismissively, "Mortals can die, and planets can be destroyed. G.o.d is no exception. No matter how perfect a gene was, once it lost its energy supply, it would still die. However, none of this was important. What was important was that there were still the same fluctuations that existed in this world. Even though they were weak, they gave us at least one hope. To this end, we have developed an instrument that can receive and locate the undulations of the G.o.ds. And it allowed me to discover you, zero! "
As his pupils dilated, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After talking so much, Ben finally got to the point.
"I don"t know why, but I received such a wave a few months ago, and because of it I went to Remt and saw you. But at that time, the undulations from your body were still very weak. But recently, as your ability increases, this wave seems to become stronger. So, as you can see, this is the main reason why I invited you to join the Heroic Spirit Hall, and also where your value lies! " Ben said solemnly.
"In other words, are you going to cut me up?" Zero asked.
Ben laughed and said, "That would be too wasteful. Zero. I just want you to cooperate with our research, for example, by providing some blood samples, or by receiving a full physical examination every once in a while. In short, we will not cause any damage to your body. At the same time, we can pay you a sum of money for that. Although it wasn"t much, it was enough to fund the rebirth plan. Don"t you want to know why you have the undulations of a G.o.d on you and why you are related to that unknown civilization? "
After saying that, he didn"t rush Zero to agree. He only quietly looked at this young man.
Zero didn"t think about it for long, or perhaps it was unnecessary to think about it. Whether he wanted to or not, Ben would never let him leave Asgard that easily. Whether it was the huge reward Ben offered or the clear understanding of the relations.h.i.+p between himself and the unknown civilization, these two were things that Zero could not refuse. Thus, he nodded his head heavily.
Standing up, Ben smiled and said, "In that case, I welcome you to join us on behalf of the Heroic Spirit Hall and Asgard. However, although I like you, the extent to which you can be promoted, the power and rewards you receive, will still depend on your own efforts. After all, the rules that I have set cannot be broken by myself. "
"Naturally, I only hope that you have enough work for me to do. To be honest, I"m really short of money. " Zero said.
Ben laughed out loud and said, "Don"t worry. You"ll have endless work to do just by continuing to venture deeper into the Western Lands to build a foothold and supply line."
With that, the old man pressed a light b.u.t.ton on the table and said, "Let Valkyrie come up."
A moment later, the blue-haired Valkyrie walked into the hall from the elevator. The old man waved at her and said to Valkyrie, "Bring Zero to the new barracks of Doomhammer. He should be fine with actual combat, but he lacks a systematic understanding of the area of ability. In this regard, I hope that you can spare some time to spread your knowledge of the origin ability domain and provide an evolutionary suggestion based on his talent. "
"I know, Father."
"You and Valkyrie should report to the new barracks. There, I think, you will find a little surprise."
Zero stood up, nodded to Ben, and left the hall in the elevator, guided by Valkyrie. Ben drank the rest of his drink. He toyed with the gla.s.s, which reflected his old face.
He did not tell Zero everything, or only part of the truth. The so-called G.o.d, for example, did not discover it under the sacred relic, although an underground research base had indeed been built there. However, the information about the G.o.d came from other places as well as from some experiments. Originally, he didn"t want Zero to know too much, but it was to avoid unnecessary variables.
After all, with regards to the research of the G.o.ds, they still needed the cooperation of zero. They did not want any accidents to happen at this time.
Asgard"s military zone was located on the western edge of the city. On the way to the military zone, Zero learned from Valkyrie that the Hammer of Destruction was Asgard"s most elite army, under the command of the War G.o.d Tyre of the Twelve Hall of Sovereigns. It could be said that the zeros who joined this legion, even though they were only entering the new army barracks, were much brighter than the soldiers of the other legions in terms of their future.
Pa.s.sing through various outposts, after conducting a series of c.u.mbersome registration exercises, Valkyrie finally arrived at the new camp of Doomhammer with Zero in tow. On the square of the camp, nearly a hundred recruits were engaged in combat training, bellowing and shouting non-stop, and the familiar smell of the barracks a.s.saulted their senses. It was as if he had been in a similar place in some forgotten memory fragment.
It was at this moment that a surprised exclamation rang out. "Zero, why are you here?"
It was a woman"s voice, slightly hoa.r.s.e. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw the female Swordsman Su whom he had met at Remter. Then he realized what the surprise was.
