Gao Wu: After holding back for eighteen years, my words are divine.

Paper scraps filled the sky.

"Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!"

On the Canglan Continent, at the Seventh Base of the Eagle Nation, in the Commander's Office.

Mike was staring at the investigation report in front of him, consumed by impotent rage.

Why?!

"We've finally managed to get a tiny, slight lead over China in our exploration of 'Strange Island'!"

"Why are they so lucky! They just discovered the [Dragon God's Ruins] in the polar ice fields!?"

"That's the Dragon God! It's the legacy of one of the top combat forces in the legendary Savage Realm! If they get their hands on it..."

Mike didn't want to think about it anymore.

Beside her, the female adjutant, Jessie, offered words of comfort with utmost care.

"Sir, please calm down."

"In fact, according to the think tank's analysis, China has not surpassed us in every aspect."

Jessie, holding a tablet computer, gave a serious report to her supervisor.

"They're there too..."

"Number of Awakened..."

"Base defenses..."

"Individual combat capability..."

"Core technological level..."

"Grain reserves..."

"Medical technology..."

"They've only temporarily surpassed us in 103 indicators."

"Moreover, the gap is not significant. For example, their individual soldier strength is only about 10% stronger than ours."

"In the core area of ​​'exploration of unknown territories,' our great Eagle Nation is still in the lead!"

Jessie felt that what she said was very reasonable and well-founded.

But she didn't notice that as she listed more and more items, Mike's face had turned from red to purplish-black.

"Enough!!"

Mike turned his head.

"103 items?! Screw you!!"

"There are only 120 performance indicators in total, and they exceeded 103 of them?! Aren't you ashamed to say that?!"

"Do you really think I'm a giant baby? Do I need this kind of ridiculous comfort?!"

Jessie was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly held the tablet to her chest.

"Sir! Calm down! There's actually another important piece of information!"

"China's exploration of the Dragon God's Ruins this time has not gone smoothly!"

"Just yesterday afternoon at 3 PM, according to intelligence... the Aragami Society has become involved!"

"What?! The Aragami Society? They've appeared again!"

Upon hearing those three words, Mike's angry expression instantly froze.

Jessie continued her report.

"Yes, and it was high-level combatants who went directly into battle."

"The Wild God Society clashed with the Chinese 'Storm Squad,' resulting in considerable casualties."

"It is said that... this time the team is led by three of the six upper seats."

"Second Seat: Nightmare; Third Seat: Twilight; and Sixth Seat: Clown!"

"The situation is extremely critical; the Central Base of China has dispatched Team Dragon!"

"And the support was personally led by that legendary 'God of War'!"

"hiss…"

Mike slowly sat back in his chair, his hand trembling as he lit a cigar.

If we say that the United States and China are rivals in a competitive relationship...

Then meeting with Aragami...

They are absolute mortal enemies!

Do not!

They should be the mortal enemy of all mankind!

They were a group of madmen who betrayed the human race and willingly degenerated into monsters.

They are remnants of the old era, willing to sacrifice their fellow human beings in order to survive in the end times.

They resurrected the evil god of the savage world and became his minions in exchange for so-called immortality.

Within the Wild Gods Society, the most powerful are the mysterious and unpredictable [Twelve Seats].

The number of seats does not represent strength, but rather the time of joining.

From one to twelve, they are respectively.

nothingness.

nightmare.

dusk.

A wise man.

Selflessness.

"Apart from the 10th and 11th seats, who were killed by our nation's dragon teams in the 'Five Days of Destruction' battle two years ago..."

"Ten old monsters are still alive."

"Everyone is a chosen one, and countless candidates possess S-class superpowers..."

Mike took a puff of his cigar, and his eyes became incredibly complex amidst the swirling smoke.

"I didn't expect them to reappear in less than two years."

"Humans... will only choose to cooperate when faced with a common enemy that they cannot defeat."

long silence.

Mike stubbed out his cigarette and issued the top order.

"Jessie."

"Notify the Japanese side to immediately cease all probing and assassination attempts against that person who needs no further explanation."

This is a joint agreement among the countries.

Whenever an Aragami appears, humanity must cease its internal strife and unite against a common enemy.

"Tell the big tree at the village entrance that if he dares to make any trouble at this critical juncture..."

"We'll wipe them out first, without China even lifting a finger!"

"This isn't Earth; we don't have the world's strongest military to justify our domineering behavior..."

Therefore, we can only follow the rules.

"Yes, sir!"

Jessie saluted, turned and quickly left.

……

Mike was the only one left in the office.

He got up and walked to the safe by the wall. After undergoing triple iris verification, he opened the heavy alloy door.

He took out three black file folders marked "Top Secret".

That is the bloody and tearful history of the Eagle Kingdom's attacks on the Wild God Society over the years.

He opened the first one.

[File 1]

Time: March 1311, 7

Location: Twilight Forest, Eagle Kingdom Third Base

Event: Base Destruction Case.

Including the S-class superhuman base commander, 1001 people died, with only 3 surviving.

Perpetrator: Madman, Fifth Seat of the Aragami Society.

Special ability: Unknown.

Survivors described an inexplicable mass killing within the base, during which everyone was laughing.

The sequence ability table currently discovered does not contain any record of this ability.

Mike's fingers trembled slightly as he turned to the second document.

[File Two]

Time: March 1309, 6

Location: Polar ice fields

Incident: The elite Tiger-class squad "Hurricane" from the Eagle Nation was attacked and all members were killed; there were no survivors.

Perpetrator: Twilight, Third Seat of the Aragami-kai.

Superpower: [Sequence 047 - Spatial Domination]

Warning messages from the other party were found at the scene, along with residual high concentrations of spatial ability energy.

Based on comparison with the sequence ability table, it has been tentatively identified as [Sequence 047 - Space Dominator].

Description: No detailed records available; primary ability is space creation.

"dusk…"

Looking at the name, Mike recalled Jessie's report about the conflict at the Dragon God's Ruins.

"As expected, the polar ice fields hold many secrets. No wonder this guy warned us."

He took a deep breath and opened the last file, the one that terrified him the most.

[File Three]

Time: March 1305, 10

Location: Mysterious Island, Rose Middle School

Event: The Eagle Nation's Dragon-level squad "Seals" is on an exploration mission.

The Chosen Ones' captain, "Elhesen," has gone missing, three team members have died, and only one observer has survived.

Survivor's condition: Extremely mentally confused, returned to base two days later, left a suicide note, and shot himself.

Perpetrator: Muga, Ninth Seat of the Arakami-kai.

Mike's eyes were fixed on the ability analysis section at the bottom of the file.

That was the intelligence obtained by the observer who committed suicide, at the cost of his life.

Superpower: [Sequence 056 - Two Powers]

Description: This is a rule-based superpower that defies the common sense of physics.

Black face form (two to the power of two, infinitely superimposed).

It can continuously stack its own values ​​(strength, defense, speed).

The value doubles with each attack.

At first we could hold on, but as the values ​​increased exponentially, even S-level defense became as fragile as paper in its presence.

White face form (two to the power of negative - infinite folding).

It can fold its body repeatedly, making itself as thin as paper, to evade all physical attacks.

Survivor's last words:

"Rose Middle School isn't dangerous at all; in fact, it's the safest place on the Mysterious Island, a place for beginners to develop their skills..."

"But...we're stuck here forever."

"Because its danger doesn't primarily stem from its eeriness..."

"But people..."

"Finally, whatever you do, don't force that guy to use two faces at the same time..."

"When black and white merge into one, when positive and negative powers act simultaneously on a single point..."

"Believe me…"

"You definitely don't want to see that."

Snapped!

Mike closed the file, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"The Ninth Seat...I am nothing."

"That monster... should still be on the Mysterious Island."

He turned his head to look out the window towards the distant east.

"No need for further explanation... Will we encounter it?"
