Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 578 Never Met
"Just a strong fourth rank... Zhao Zhuikong from the Demon Team is already a strong fourth rank," Liu Xi said.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll correct you. They definitely can't be injured yet..."

"Memorial tablet".

Liu Xi suspected that Mu Xiang had underestimated him. After all, Zhang Jie had said that Mu Xiang had shown the strength of a spirit level when he returned to the Dream Realm... But the combat power of the gene lock system is very flexible. Seemingly the same gene lock level may have a greater difference than when they fight against the same level of extraordinary beings.

The internal divisions of the spirit tablets are even more complex, and none of them are things that Liu Xi needs to consider right now... So even if we take into account the S-class superhuman bloodline that Mu Xiang recently exchanged, it is still unknown whether his strength can surpass the spirit tablet realm.

However, Mu Xiang didn't seem particularly pleased with his increased strength, nor did he show any urge to wield this terrifying power. Upon closer reflection, this was Mu Xiang's state after Resident Evil 2.

Hopefully, he can easily destroy the Celestials' fleet... Well, the key isn't destroying it. Liu Xi believes he could do that a long time ago, so the key is how easily he can do it.

"Once you've clarified this point... things will be much simpler after that, right? I'll continue to explain this information to you, and you can focus on your plans." Liu Xi reorganized the information on the big screen and then muted her microphone to continue her work.

Mu Xiang suddenly spoke up: "It's not that simple... You need to be mentally prepared."

"What kind of mental preparation?"

Mu Xiang thought for a moment: "It's not exactly explosive news... We've already deduced that drawing out the Celestials will lead to changes in the mission. But the mission certainly won't be that simple. The Main God will most likely impose a penalty for failure, won't he? There are only two possibilities for failure: one is that the Central Continent Team is wiped out in the battle, which I dare say is impossible; the other is that the other side achieves something, or we fail to complete any objectives."

“Indeed… Judging from the reincarnation worlds we’ve visited, whether overt or covert, the Supreme God has left us with tasks to complete. Given that we are already a special team, this makes even greater sense in this particular reincarnation world.” Liu Xi pondered for a moment. “What does the Supreme God need us to do? Protect Earth in this plane? Rebuild human civilization?”

Mu Xiang chuckled on the other end: "That's too far-fetched. I've never seen a God directly hand over a task like this... But at least, we can't let this Earth suffer any problems under the suppression of the Celestials, right?"

"Isn't that what you're here for?" Liu Xi chuckled. "Just charge in and unleash your full power, show off your might. Isn't offense the best defense?"

Mu Xiang always found himself speechless with her theories, and this remark amused him again. But he immediately became serious: "What if I said there's a possible attack method that I can't defend against?"

Liu Xi was puzzled for a while, then she understood what Mu Xiang was talking about...

"Electromagnetic wave weapons? Couldn't Zhang Jie do that?"

Mu Xiang replied, "Sure, but if a fight breaks out, there's another way... not only can we defend, but we can also counterattack." Hearing this, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh, "What do you take me for? A global defense system?"

"Don't react like that. I'll definitely give you help when the time comes." Mu Xiang chuckled insincerely on the other end. "That's exactly what I'm worried about. The Celestials can analyze human genetic information and then customize electromagnetic waves with this function... I have no reason not to suspect that they don't have other more powerful weapons."

"When the Celestials return to this planet, which serves both scientific research and entertainment... it's hard to say how they will suppress them. I'm not willing to gamble on this, so I'm just being upfront with you now."

Liu Xi said "Oh," knowing he was finished, and continued with her work. She used to think Mu Xiang's super brain was very useful, making him extremely efficient at this kind of work; but now, with her three-eyed bloodline and accelerated thinking abilities, she wouldn't dare say she could surpass Mu Xiang, but she could maintain a very high level of efficiency... and her analytical abilities were even more professional.

After confirming the general content of all the partition data again, Liu Xi sent the newly parsed partitions to the speed-reading program. Although she had already discussed some of it with Mu Xiang, there was some more detailed information that hadn't been used before, and Mu Xiang might have new insights after hearing it.

"The last thing we need to analyze is the data on the Dongda mecha that has been blocked, dismantled, and diverted..." Liu Xi took a sip of the lemonade next to her, but fell silent and looked at a photo in the corner of the big screen.

There are many distorted and obscured histories in this world, and the vague history of Tokyo University is not particularly prominent among them. However, since it is the Central Continent Team that has been affected, it has aroused the doubts of the Central Continent Team members from the very beginning... Why must the history before and after the nuclear war be covered up? And after the effects of electromagnetic waves were discovered, this doubt became even more prominent.

If Earthlings' understanding can be altered, why leave such a strange historical gap? The Celestials conquered Earth only fifty years ago. In those fifty years, Earthlings have regressed by hundreds of years... Even outside the deep network, it's difficult to find any revolutionary evidence.

The Celestials clearly possess this ability, and even if they couldn't have known that the Central Continent Team would descend, there's no reason for them to leave such a historical gap.

"Could it be that the event that caused the historical gap occurred after the Celestials enslaved Earth and altered our understanding?" Liu Xi muttered to herself, though she knew Mu Xiang could definitely hear her and might even be criticizing her line of thinking. "I need to see what kind of mecha he developed."

Soon, information that made Liu Xi gasp appeared on the big screen. She waved her hand, swiping away the rest of the information, and then zoomed in on that ordinary-looking face.

“I don’t believe you’re some parallel universe counterpart… Although I’ve never met you, I’ve heard him talk about your conspiracies.” Liu Xi smiled, but there was no real mirth in her voice. “According to him, when he was setting up plans and gathering intelligence in this world, he often felt like everything was going smoothly… as if someone was secretly cooperating with him.”

"You appeared suddenly at the most critical moment, yet no one seemed to find your appearance abrupt... Although it was too late to reverse Earth's defeat at that time, you still managed to turn the tide, circumvent the Celestials' technological blockade, and develop the most powerful mecha in history... As the chief scientist, you were strangled by the newly appointed surrender faction, but you silently destroyed their backup consciousness, and then perished together with them in physical form..."

"But needless to say whether we believe you're dead, even those idiots on the tribunal only dare to classify you as missing... You're definitely not dead, right?"

"A teammate I've never met... Chu Xuan."
