Chapter 108 Vomiting Blood Marathon

"According to our reporter, an overseas den was raided last night. Criminals were found causing trouble in the room, with YMCA and a large number of bloody drug paraphernalia playing outside. It seems that they were undergoing blood tests due to excessive drug use."

"The criminals were collectively mentally unstable. They desperately covered their genitals and shouted things like 'Don't insult me!' But no signs of intrusion were found at the scene."

Xue's Law changed the channel.

"According to our reporter, a large number of professors and media professionals illegally fled abroad yesterday for unknown reasons. Surveillances revealed substantial amounts of unknown illicit income in their accounts. Most are currently hiding in Mexico and Colombia, and arrest warrants are being issued for them..."

Watching the news reports on TV, Xue Dinglu tilted his head in confusion: "Is Hai Dali really that efficient? He managed to deal with those people, both insulting and expelling them, all in one night?"

He was somewhat incredulous. Although Hai Dali was very strong, his efficiency couldn't possibly be this high, could it? In just one night, it seemed like he was about to conquer the Holy Grail War.

Is anyone helping him?

Xue Luding rubbed his head. Things were getting more and more incomprehensible to him, but he didn't care. As long as things were resolved, that was all that mattered.

As for Hercules... just let him play outside for a while and not cause any trouble. After all, his true form is still attached to the birdman armor, and Xue's Law can recall him at any time.

……

Meanwhile, Hercules was holed up in a basement, with an empty case of beer cans beside him, and an unfinished Burger King and fries next to him.

Although he is currently in a spirit state, strangely enough, he can still taste food and drink in the River Styx.

So now, he's just like a lazy, overweight middle-aged man, constantly grinding for materials in a turn-based mobile game on his phone.

This mission went too smoothly, both in terms of investigation and execution, as if someone was secretly helping me.

But it doesn't matter. There's plenty of time now. Xue Diles also has to go to school, so he can at least play the game for several more days.

First, recharge 10 times, totaling 518 yuan, to buy stamina...

Hercules remained silent, only spending money relentlessly.

Well, in just one day, he even learned how to top up his account, using Xue's card, of course.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a large number of resources on the account, Birdman A's soul skipped a beat.

He gulped down another can of beer, the liquid disappearing inside his armor. He then crushed the can and tossed it to the ground.

How can a hero desert his post in the face of battle?

Card pool, let me see your limits.

……

Completely unconcerned about his bank account statements, Xue Dinglu went to the basement.

He is very rich, although he is very different from a real tycoon, but his parents' inheritance is enough to make him completely wealthy.

Therefore, he always uses password-free payment when shopping online, and he blocks notifications for purchases under 1,000 yuan.

He pulled the switch and turned on the information panel that covered an entire wall.

This was the place where he was specifically responsible for collecting and organizing intelligence. At this moment, it was covered with all sorts of information about that giant beast planet and the giant beast inside his body.

Yesterday's dream ended with the scene where the giant beast completely lost its humanity.

He was now completely certain that the behemoth inside him was Lieutenant Robert.

A monster transformed from a human.

Xue Dalu roughly guessed the principle behind the serum that turned the lieutenant into a monster. It was a cell inducer that was purified through biomagic. It could probably make the cells in the body totipotent and then gradually transform them into cells that were more similar to the structure of the behemoth.

With enough energy support, it can slowly grow into a terrifying behemoth weighing tens of thousands of tons in just a few years.

The price, however, is that as one's physical size increases, one's humanity disappears.

Like this lieutenant, his last vestiges of humanity were his refusal to eat people and his love for his wife and children. But when he saw his wife die in front of him, his last remaining humanity finally vanished.

All that remains is an endless desire for destruction and bestiality.

Even without seeing the subsequent memories, Xue Lude could already imagine that the endless battle between the giant beasts and the human army would inevitably result in mutual destruction.

Zero Behemoth has the ability to quickly recover by eating. If it abandons its humanity and tries to eat people, then the battlefield will be full of snacks.

It also possesses the unique abilities of sulfur breath and micro-nuclear fusion. Even if its physical body eventually cannot withstand endless bombardment, it will certainly cause devastating damage to the city.

The human side's goal is to capture rather than kill, which inevitably restricts their actions, and they will only consider killing when the losses are truly too great.

However, Xue's law really didn't see clearly why the lieutenant's wife, who was supposed to come and bring back his humanity, ended up around the ammunition depot.

Even more absurdly, the ammunition depot exploded for unknown reasons at that moment. Although the Zero Beast had already begun its attack, it was still some distance from the ammunition depot.

This is the catalyst that turned this meeting into war. The final result will certainly be the death of the Zero Behemoth, heavy losses for humanity, and even widespread damage or destruction of the original city-states.

This was a war with no winners. The lieutenant lost everything, while the human side suffered heavy losses, failing to obtain the lieutenant's sample.

Both sides were acting in the name of humanity's future, but the final result was a lose-lose situation.

He marked all the intelligence reports, then posted them on the intelligence board, and marked the relevant parts. Sure enough, he found many suspicious points.

How exactly is this power, which is completely beyond human control, being used? And why were experiments started on humans?

From cells to genes, humans have been transformed into behemoths.

The magic side can do this, but it's definitely not that simple.

Just like the racial contamination of the Shub insect race, which corrupts other creatures into evil insects, that's an ability that can only be used by at least a near-5th rank.

On that planet, the strongest psychic humans were only at the third rank.

That's about the same level as the Old Undead and the Lich King.

Moreover, the death of the lieutenant's wife was extremely suspicious.

Xue's Law has always believed that if something seems logically off, then there must be some intelligence or information that he hasn't discovered yet.

In this experiment, he felt that the higher-ups in humanity were like an infant holding an AK-47. They didn't know the power of the AK-47 and only wanted to completely control its power.

The result was that the baby with the gun shot and killed all his family members, and then killed himself.

Looking at everything on the information board, Xue Dinglu closed his eyes, as if he were seeing a marathon where someone was vomiting blood while running.

In an attempt to defeat giant beasts, humanity developed technology to create artificial giant beasts, only to suffer the consequences.

Among the giant beasts, could there be other giant beasts that have developed methods specifically to deal with humans?

Xue's Law doesn't know.

Humans who study powers they cannot control will ultimately destroy themselves, just like the former members of the hero's team in the Holy Magic Continent who studied the hero's corpse.

According to Xue's Law, behemoths should be "monsters" that only emerge under specific conditions and exert energy on the body and cells.

They should be similar to the dragons of the Holy Magic Continent; both are top-tier magical beasts that integrate energy and magic into their cells.

The potential of the behemoth is clearly much higher than that of a regular dragon, and it can even vaguely reach the taillights of a cosmic catastrophe like the Shub Zerg.

It can be said that behemoths are magical beasts that are born with the ability to control magic and energy, and their special body structure seems to allow them to directly carry out controlled nuclear fusion within their bodies, causing their size to increase dramatically.

After the war between the behemoths and humans reached such a point of no return, Xue's law could only conceive of ending the war by completely annihilating one side.

The biggest mystery lies in the behemoth serum!
This is the most unscientific and unmagical thing; he felt that this was not something a third-tier mage could conjure up.

After marking all the intelligence and connecting the dots, he had a terrifying idea...

Could this behemoth serum be a technology provided by another civilization?
Once this idea took hold of my mind, it became unstoppable.

Although his current intelligence cannot prove this conjecture, based on the inferences drawn from the existing intelligence...

A level 3 mage might theoretically be able to figure out the technology of teleportation.

Having a portal would give them the opportunity to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations. So, is it possible that they actually already possessed the portal technology, but kept it a secret from the public for the sake of secrecy?

Secretly, they acquired the technology of a more advanced civilization and then began this forbidden experiment...

If our conjecture is correct, what exactly were the thoughts of the extraterrestrial civilization that provided this technology?
Sweat beaded on his forehead. If his reasoning was correct, the even more terrifying guess was...

The extraterrestrial civilizations they encountered may have had far more terrifying motives, harboring the idea of ​​causing their own civilization to perish.

Forbidden knowledge, the threat of colossal beasts from the outside world—humanity is like a prisoner walking a tightrope. They must overcome the threat of these beasts and attempt to control a power they cannot yet control…

In this way, without even taking action, humanity will be unable to hold on in this blood-spitting marathon. Either a large number of humans will turn into giant beasts and cause internal strife, or they will be wiped out by the giant beasts!
This is a game of civilization's self-destruction.

The other side didn't even have to make a move; all they needed to do was give them technology they couldn't control, and they could send a civilization headlong into self-destruction.

This is like giving a farmer a chest of gold in public in ancient times. This chest of gold will not make the farmer rich, but will instead be the fuse that leads to the death of his whole family.

Although this example is not entirely accurate, it reflects the current state of that civilization.

This is conspiracy!
Even if humanity's higher-ups realize they cannot control this power, there will always be self-important fools who continue to try, and they cannot be stopped...

This is a completely open conspiracy! Not a matter of humanity saving itself!
