215: Big Gamble

Qin Wuyan’s smile instantly froze!

Target: Iron Prison Squad

Status: All signals interrupted, all vital signs vanished

Verdict: Annihilated

A tremor, so subtle it was almost imperceptible, uncontrollably shot up from the deepest part of Qin Wuyan’s spine, like a cold viper, instantly coursing through his limbs and bones.

He lost!

That man didn’t die!

Not only did he not die, he became even stronger, reaching a terrifying Rank that was incomprehensible and immeasurable by any data!

He had always thought he was the sole chess player controlling the entire game; Su Lei and the Western Alliance were merely pawns he could discard at will on his chessboard.

But only now did he realize with horror that perhaps, from the very beginning, he was just that self-proclaimed clever pawn.

And the true chess player, from start to finish, was only that one.

Su Lei was using his death to set a larger trap.

A most vicious trap, one that would completely expose all of Qin Wuyan’s disguises and trump cards to the light.

Now, this hypocritical mask, which he had cultivated his entire life, representing the Federation’s glory and greatness, had been utterly torn to shreds by that hand returned from Hell!

“Hoo, hoo, hoo…”

He suddenly stood up from the throne!

“Su Lei!!! Do you think you can defeat me this way? Do you think by tearing off my face, I will just surrender? You underestimate Qin Wuyan too much!”

He spun around abruptly, like a crazed lion, rushing towards Dean Li, who was already pale with fear.

Dean Li was a doyen of the Federation Academy of Sciences, the chief designer of the Demonization Modification Project. At this moment, this usually respected elder trembled like a leaf in the wind under Qin Wuyan’s bloodshot gaze.

“Increase the dosage!”

Qin Wuyan grabbed Dean Li by the collar, lifting his frail body clean off the ground, almost face to face: “Increase the scale of the sacrifice! I don’t care what method you use, throw everyone who can be used into the altar! Criminals, captives, dissidents, if it’s not enough, go to the slums, go to the refugee camps!”

“I want to see a true legion in the shortest time possible, a Shadow Demon Legion strong enough to flatten the entire West!”

“President, Your Excellency the President…”

Dean Li’s face was ashen, his lips trembling: “That, that would, would shake the Federation’s Foundation! Those, those are our people!”

“People?”

“Their only value is to become the steps to my divine throne! Foundation? When I become a god, I will be the only Foundation!”

He looked at the old man before him, who was still trying to dissuade him with ridiculous morality and reason, and the last shred of his patience vanished.

The man before him had completely lost his mind.

He was no longer the ruthless overlord who would stop at nothing for the Federation’s stability; he had become a devil who, to preserve his crumbling power, would drag the entire human civilization into Hell.

“What are you still standing there for?”

Qin Wuyan’s veins bulged as he slammed Dean Li against the cold metal wall.

He leaned down, his crimson eyes fixed on Dean Li, who was curled up in pain: “Go! Carry out my orders! Otherwise, the next to be thrown into the altar will be you and your entire family!”

Dean Li trembled violently.

Finally, he was dragged away like a dead dog by two expressionless mechanical guards.

In the vast main control room, only Qin Wuyan’s heavy breathing remained.

He walked to the control panel and activated his dual highest authorities as President of the Federation and Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission.

“In the name of the President of the Federation and Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, issue an A-level emergency state order!”

“The Western Alliance has openly defied orders and attacked Federal relief forces, constituting treason! Effective immediately, the West is designated as a rebellious region, and all Western Alliance members are considered rebels, to be killed without mercy!”

“The Capital Region is to enter the highest Rank of military control, and all military forces will be directly taken over by me! All media and networks must unconditionally cooperate with the Federal government to guide public opinion, broadcasting the crimes of the Western rebellion in a twenty-four-hour loop!”

Suddenly, the entire Federation was in a state of alarm.

Everyone sensed a terrifying aura, like a storm brewing, dark clouds pressing down on the city.

Ordinary citizens were incited by the overwhelming news of the Western rebellion on official media, indignantly condemning the West’s betrayal.

Meanwhile, the various forces and regional governors who truly understood the inside story and harbored doubts about Qin Wuyan wisely chose silence under this undeniable high pressure of white terror.

Qin Wuyan had completely torn off his last disguise.

He was going to gamble the entire Federation’s future in a brutal, extreme wager with the resurrected Su Lei.

A bloody civil war that would determine the direction of human civilization.

On the streets of the Capital, teams of fully armed soldiers and mechanical police cars with flashing red warning lights soon appeared.

They blocked all major thoroughfares, conducting suffocatingly strict inspections of passing pedestrians and vehicles.

The sky was designated a no-fly zone, and any unauthorized aircraft would be mercilessly shot down.

The entire bustling Xinghui City, in just a few hours, had transformed into a giant military fortress, and also a giant prison.

And in the shadows of the city, something a hundred times more terrifying than military control was quietly happening.

Black, fully enclosed transport vehicles, without any markings, silently drove into the already designated slum areas and refugee camps in the dead of night, like silent steel beasts.

Then, amidst countless heart-wrenching cries and wails, living beings, regardless of gender, age, or youth, were roughly loaded onto the trucks like cargo.

The scale of live human sacrifice, under Qin Wuyan’s mad will, was expanding at an unprecedented rate.

The bloody altar underground almost never extinguished.

Drops of the purest dark Origin energy, condensed from fresh lives and terrified Souls, were continuously produced.

These ink-like viscous liquids were then injected into elite soldiers, who served as Materials, giving birth to one hideous, terrifying Shadow Demon Soldier after another, who knew only slaughter and obedience, in an extremely cruel manner.

Qin Wuyan was almost pathologically obsessed with this process of personally creating a divine legion.

He stayed in the laboratory twenty-four hours a day, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at his constantly growing Shadow Demon Legion on the monitoring screen.

As long as he possessed this invincible legion, absolutely obedient and fearless of death, he could crush everything!

He would become the only, true God in this world!
