From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 433 It's time to take action.
Solar winds blow into the forging furnace, causing the temperature inside to rise rapidly.

Once the temperature reached the required level for melting and casting, Master Gollum and Master Kadokuchi shouted simultaneously, "Ready!"

Su Muyu immediately summoned the solar wind, and the two masters worked together, each using their own methods, to forge the Aurora Blade into shape.

The process lasted for more than an hour before it was finally completed.

Kadokuchi let out a breath, sat down in a chair to rest, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

Master Gulu excitedly used pliers to take out the molten Aurora Blade, added the last gaseous material, and carried out the final magical infusion step.

As the gaseous material was poured in, the Aurora Blade slowly cooled down.

The entire forging process was finally completed. In an instant, a golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the sky above the forging workshop in Kolos City.

Seeing the golden light, Lu Heng had a feeling that the upgrade of the Aurora Blade was successful, but he was still a little uneasy before seeing its attributes.

While the weapon was still very warm, Master Gulu couldn't wait to reach out and check its attributes, and then he froze there.

Lu Heng also wanted to know if the reforging was successful, so he leaned closer and asked, "Master, how did it go?"

Master Gulu then came to his senses, raised the Aurora Blade high, and shouted excitedly, "Success! A double S-class divine weapon, success! Success!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he quickly reached out to take the Aurora Blade to examine it.

Seeing the upgraded attributes of the Aurora Blade, Lu Heng was even more excited than Master Gulu.

The upgraded attributes are stronger than expected, and two divine skills have even appeared.

……

The golden light emanating from the twin S-rank divine weapons startled most of the elves in the city of Kolos.

Queen Orianna, Fiona, Tyrese, and other Highborne elves came to check on the situation and then congratulated Lu Heng, Gulu, and Kadokuchi.

Forging an SS-grade divine weapon is not just a matter for Lu Heng alone; it is a cause for celebration for the entire Elf race.

This is because it signifies an improvement in the Elven race's forging skills.

After all, prior to this, the Elven race had suffered a population reduction due to the invasion of the Abyss, and the level of many secondary profession skills inevitably declined.

If Lu Heng hadn't brought Master Gulu over, it would have been very difficult to forge an SS-grade divine weapon using only the power of the Elven race.

Not only for the elves, but also for the Dark Iron Dwarves, the forging of this SS-grade divine weapon is a milestone.

Just as everyone was congratulating Lu Heng, a rough snoring sound came from the iron table next to him.

Everyone turned around and saw that a Black Iron Dwarf was already asleep on the iron table.

To reforge the Aurora Blade, Master Gulu hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and was indeed extremely exhausted.

……

We've stayed in the fairy world for a bit too long this time, it's time to go back.

After bidding farewell to Tyrese, Orianna, and Fiona, Lu Heng hoisted Master Gollum onto his shoulder and returned to the main world with Su Muyu.

After a brief teleportation, the three returned to Quenching Fortress.

Lu Heng escorted Master Gulu back to his room to rest, and then went home with Su Muyu.

I spent a month and a half in the elf world, while four and a half days passed in the human world.

After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed and energized.

Lu Heng took the initiative to contact Lin Zeyu, wanting to see how his training was going.

The call didn't go through, and that's when they found out that after the two of them went to the Elf World, Lin Zeyu had gone to the Siren World.

Lin Zeyu has a spatial anchor point in the Siren World, which was initially used for trading crystal cores.

In the world of sirens, water-attribute crystal cores are expensive, while fire-attribute crystal cores are cheap; the opposite is true in the human world.

Where there is a price difference, there is room for trade.

However, Lin Zeyu's trip to the Siren World was not just for trading crystal cores; he also had another purpose: to train new abilities.

The fourth-tier Source Essence [Ascended One] that was obtained from the Southern Theater Command has already been used by him.

This decision was made after internal team discussions.

In fact, the [Ascended] class can be adapted to any class path of a superhuman.

In other words, both Su Muyu and Xie Shien can use it.

However, Su Muyu possesses the Tree of Life Vine and has learned natural magic from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, so she is considering taking the path of a nature messenger in the future.

Xie Shien had planned his career path long ago, so he wasn't considering the [Ascendant] path.

Finally, the [Ascended] Source Essence was given to Lin Zeyu.

After obtaining the [Ascended] Source Essence, Lin Zeyu, following Lu Heng's advice, upgraded his second-tier job [Demon Hunter].

Therefore, his current fourth job advancement is [Witcher - Ascendant].

The [Upgraded] class will enhance the abilities of the upgraded class.

The Witcher's Mark has been enhanced, not only increasing the number of targets that can be marked simultaneously, but also significantly increasing the maximum range of the mark.

Originally, the Witcher's Mark could only mark one target, but after the upgrade, it can mark three targets at the same time.

The maximum distance marked has been increased from 10 kilometers to 100 kilometers.

Perfectly compatible with the [Supersonic Energy High Explosive Bomb].

The maximum range of the [Supersonic Energy High Explosive Bomb] is 100 kilometers, but this skill itself has no guidance effect, so the hit rate is very low when hitting a target 100 kilometers away.

With the Ascended Witcher Mark, accuracy can be greatly improved.

However, just like marksmanship, accuracy requires training.

Lin Zeyu initially trained by sailing to sea to practice beyond-visual-range strikes at a distance of 100 kilometers, but the efficiency was somewhat low.

After learning that Lu Heng and Su Muyu had gone to the Elf World, he also had a sudden inspiration and went to the Siren World to train, while also reselling water-attribute skill cores. Actually, Lin Zeyu initially wanted to find Yuan Yaoyao and have her go to the Sykes Civilization to customize a launcher for a [Supersonic Source Energy High Explosive Bomb].

However, the Sykes civilization underwent a tremendous change, and the second Gaia planet was reduced to ruins.

Xavier Matrix was forced to abandon its base on the second Gaia planet and went into hiding after uploading its consciousness archive.

Therefore, Yuan Yaoyao is currently unable to ask Professor Xavier to make equipment, and this matter has to be put on hold for the time being.

……

Due to the passage of time, Lu Heng learned that Lin Zeyu had been in the Siren World for three or four days, and according to the timeline, he should be back soon.

Sure enough, by evening...

Lu Heng's phone rang, and it was Lin Zeyu calling.

"Captain, you're back? I just got back too. Where are you guys? Let me tell you, my beyond-visual-range strike ability is off the charts right now..."

Lin Zeyu started bragging on the phone, as if he had already transformed into a human missile silo.

Not only him, but Xie Shi'en also took this opportunity to teleport to another world with a spatial anchor point for further study.

The combat power of all four members of the team has been greatly improved.

The four of them met up for a meal, talked about their trip to the other world, and then got down to business, discussing the Creator Organization.

The undercover agent, Ke Yiming, has been out there for some time now.

The bait has been released; it's time to reel it in.

The intelligence work involving contact with Ke Yiming was not the responsibility of the four members of the team, as they had other things to do and could not keep an eye on this intelligence line at all times.

"I'll ask Qi Jinghui about it tomorrow. If the time is right, we can take action." Lu Heng planned to inquire about the intelligence gathering situation tomorrow.

Su Muyu continued, "We need to hurry. The elves need the Tree of Life to heal the Queen. If it takes too long, I'm worried something might go wrong."

Xie Shien also took this matter very seriously: "It's time to make the Creator Organization pay the price. I'll go with you tomorrow."

“Alright.” Lu Heng agreed to his request.

……

the next day.

Since the intelligence could not be revealed over the phone, Lu Heng first called Qi Jinghui to arrange a meeting time, and then went to the war zone headquarters with Su Muyu and Xie Shien.

After meeting Qi Jinghui at the war zone headquarters, he was led to a small conference room.

The intelligence personnel in charge of Ke Yiming's case compiled the intelligence they had received during this period and handed it over to Lu Heng.

"This is intelligence provided by an inside source, including a list of members of the Creator Organization, as well as the mercenary groups, companies, and even several small countries controlled by the organization."

Lu Heng listened to the explanation while flipping through the intelligence materials.

Some of these intelligence reports are quite detailed, while others are rather brief.

After all, Ke Yiming couldn't possibly have access to all the branches of the Creator Organization, and could only provide a general overview of much of the information.

According to this intelligence, the Creator Organization is indeed very powerful, involving many mercenary organizations, multinational corporations, and even controlling several small countries.

It's not surprising that they control the country, after all, they are just a few small countries with small land areas.

In fact.

If it weren't for Lu Heng's appearance, which thwarted the Creator Organization's plot to control Japanese political figures using Dementors, even a developed country like Japan might have fallen under the control of the Creator Organization.

Even if one cannot control the entire country, controlling a portion of the political figures is enough to influence national policy decisions.

Besides.

The number of multinational corporations controlled by the Creator Organization is also quite astonishing, and many of these multinational corporations have the ASE Alliance behind them.

Some of the core members of the Creator Organization are even the leaders of level 33 families in the ASE Alliance.

In fact, Lu Heng had long suspected that the Creator Organization and the ASE Alliance were connected.

During the incident involving the super-powered drug, 013 Black Raven had used the SPA-4 type super-powered drug.

This drug was developed by the multinational pharmaceutical group Elemer.

The largest holding company of Elmerwell Pharmaceuticals is called Kate Investment Group, and the largest shareholder of Kate Investment Group is Gordon Jacob.

Lu Heng had met Gordon Jacob before and knew that his number in the Creator Organization was 9.

Those with serial numbers below 10 are definitely core members.

Gordon Jacobs is a member of the ASE Alliance.

At the time, Lu Heng felt that there was a close relationship between the Creator Organization and the ASE Alliance, but he had no direct evidence.

After all, it's not surprising that someone like Gordon Jacob, the head of a wealthy capitalist family, would join various organizations.

The intelligence we have now obtained indicates that member number 7 of the Creator Organization is a member of the Berg family.

The Berg family is a member family of the ASE Alliance, and a very famous one at that.

Because this family was one of the creators of the White Eagle Federal Financial Reserve System.

In other words, the financial system of the human world was established by this group of people, and the original purpose of this financial system was actually to use capital to harvest the wealth of the whole world.

This financial system was indeed very successful, giving the White Eagle Federation economic hegemony for more than a century, during which no other country could rival them.

……

The intelligence provided by the Southern Theater Command did not all come from Ke Yiming.

After all, intelligence work requires comparing information from multiple sources to gather useful information.

Therefore, the intelligence that Lu Heng obtained already incorporated the information compiled by the Southern Theater Command's intelligence department, and contained much more content.

According to intelligence, the Berg family is somewhat unusual, with many generations of family leaders suffering from mental illnesses.

This situation arose because the family frequently engaged in consanguineous marriages in order to keep their wealth in their own hands and prevent it from spreading.

This has resulted in a higher incidence of genetic diseases among members of this family.

For this reason, the Berg family has invested in many pharmaceutical companies and biological laboratories that research genetics, hoping to achieve improvements in the field of genetics.

The abyss descended, and the emergence of extraordinary power gave the Berg family a new direction to solve their genetic problems.

Therefore, from the moment the Abyss descended, the Berg family has spared no effort in investing in the forces of superhumans and firmly supported research combining superhuman abilities with medicine.

Gordon Jacobs is indeed the primary shareholder of Elmervé Pharmaceuticals, but the Berg family is also involved.

Qi Jinghui had already seen the intelligence report and joined the conversation, saying, "You can take a look at page six; that's where you'll find the information you're most interested in."

Lu Heng turned to the sixth page and found information about the Tree of Life Vine.

Upon seeing that it was information about the Tree of Life Vine, Su Muyu quickly flipped to page six and began reading it carefully.

According to intelligence, the Berg family hopes to use the Tree of Life vine for medical and pharmaceutical research, hoping to influence human genetics in the process.
