185: Chapter 183 The Price of Arrogance: Kneel Down!!

Meanwhile, in Eagle Country.

Inside an underground base deep within the Rocky Mountains.

Dr. William stood before a massive petri dish, his face so pale it was almost translucent.

Soaking inside the dish were strange tissue fragments extracted from the wreckage of the fallen Mechagodzilla, along with some Pandora mucus collected from the ruins of Area 51.

"Doctor, the President's orders are for us to cease all dangerous experiments and fully cooperate with Dragon Country."

For Taiwan novels, go to Chao Tie Xin.

An assistant whispered a reminder from the side.

"Cooperate?"

Dr. William snapped his head around, a sickly madness glinting in his eyes.

"To hell with cooperation! What do they know? That monster Luo Yu is stealing the power of the gods! The Helium-3 on the moon is the key to opening the gates of the universe, yet he's using it as fodder!"

As he spoke,

he pointed at the contents of the petri dish.

"As long as we can decode the proliferation logic of these high-dimensional cells, we can create a true 'Godslayer.' When that time comes, Godzilla will be nothing more than a slightly larger reptile."

The assistant looked at the frenzied doctor and quietly took a few steps back.

He knew that

if such unauthorized experiments were exposed, the entire base would be wiped off the map by Dragon Country.

But Dr. William was beyond listening to any advice.

Immersed in his own fantasies, he attempted to use mortal wisdom to challenge an existence that had already stepped into the divine realm.

Early the next morning.

Luo Yu received a call from Su Zhiruo.

"Luo Yu, are you coming back to Modu University?"

On the other end of the line, Su Zhiruo's voice carried a hint of anticipation.

They had spent more time apart than together over the past few years.

Although both were already Awakeners standing at the pinnacle of humanity, emotionally, they still possessed the purity of youth.

"I am."

Luo Yu looked at the rising sun outside the window.

"There are some scores yet to be settled, and some promises that need to be kept."

The "scores" he referred to weren't just the factions that had worked against him in the shadows, but also the lives that had been put on hold for various reasons during the disaster.

...

Modu University.

As one of the top three Awakener institutions in the world, the atmosphere here was more vibrant than ever.

News of Luo Yu's return had already spread across the campus forums.

"Have you heard?"

"Senior Luo Yu is coming back for the graduation ceremony!"

"Senior is a Marshal now! Our school has really gained some prestige this time."

"Hey, do you think Senior will bring Godzilla back with him?"

Students discussed excitedly on the playground and in the cafeteria.

To them,

Luo Yu was not just a legend, but their faith.

Meanwhile,

Luo Yu was driving toward Modu in an ordinary military jeep.

He hadn't asked the military to arrange a motorcade, nor had he brought General Zhan Kuang along; he simply wanted to walk that path again as a student and an ordinary person.

On his shoulder,

Mothra had shrunk into the size of a hair ornament, pinned to his collar.

Pandora was wrapped around his wrist like an exquisite jade bracelet.

Godzilla was the most low-maintenance;

he had crawled directly into his pocket to sleep.

The car entered the Modu city area.

This city, once plagued by the threat of the abyss, was radiating unprecedented vitality now that the Abyss Era had ended.

The billboards on the streets no longer displayed evacuation guides but various slogans celebrating victory.

The gloom had vanished from people's faces, replaced by aspirations for the future.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Luo Yu felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Everything he had done—

wasn't it all for this moment?

However, just as the car was about to reach the entrance of Modu University, a sudden change occurred.

The originally clear sky

suddenly darkened without warning.

An extremely faint yet high-dimensional energy fluctuation rippled through the void at the school gate.

Luo Yu frowned, his gaze instantly turning cold, and he patted his pocket.

"Godzilla, wake up."

"The flies have come knocking."

Sure enough,

before his voice faded, several figures in silver protective suits appeared at the gate, holding strangely shaped instruments and scanning the Modu University entrance frantically.

"Coordinates locked, this is the place!"

The leader, a middle-aged man speaking fluent English, was filled with unconcealed excitement.

"This is where the residual fluctuations from the Hollow Earth World are strongest. As long as we collect this raw data, the Doctor's experiment will succeed!"

The surrounding students were startled by this sudden scene and retreated repeatedly.

Several Awakeners responsible for gate security quickly surrounded them.

"This is Modu University. Please stop your actions immediately and show your identification!"

A security captain barked.

The silver-clad men didn't even turn their heads. One of them waved a hand casually, and a pale blue ripple spread out, blasting the security personnel away.

"Don't get in the way, mortals."

The man took a deep breath and said, "We are carrying out the greatest scientific research mission in human history. If you delay our progress, you won't be able to pay the price."

This deep-seated arrogance incited a wave of anger among the surrounding students.

Just then,

an inconspicuous jeep came to a stop by the roadside.

Luo Yu pushed open the door and stepped out.

He didn't release any pressure, but... the moment he stepped out of the car, the instruments in the silver-clad men's hands suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!!"

"Warning! Ultra-high energy reaction detected! Energy level... uncalculable!"

The middle-aged leader froze, looked down at his instrument, and then looked up at the young man slowly approaching.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man frowned, his tone still harsh.

"I'm a student here."

Luo Yu walked up to them and glanced at the instrument in their hands.

"Dr. William's people?"

Hearing that name,

the expressions of the silver-clad men changed slightly.

"Since you know the Doctor's name, get out of the way quickly."

The middle-aged man tried to hide his unease. "We are conducting a scientific expedition commissioned by the 'Global Science Council' and possess immunity."

"Immunity?"

Hearing this, Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "On Dragon Country's territory, who gave you immunity? Also, you just injured my schoolmates. How should we settle this score?"

"Hmph!" The silver-clad man who had attacked snorted coldly. "The injury of the weak is an inevitable price. Kid, I see you have some energy fluctuations. I advise you not to meddle."

As he spoke,

he raised his hand again,

attempting to push Luo Yu away with that blue ripple.

However, this time, before his hand could even move, he froze in place.

Luo Yu simply glanced at him.

The silver-clad man felt as if his soul was frozen in an instant, followed by an indescribable terror spreading from the depths of his marrow.

"Kneel."

Luo Yu said softly.

Thud!

There was no room for resistance.

The silver-clad man's legs gave way, and he knelt heavily on the concrete. The sound of his kneecaps shattering was exceptionally jarring in the quiet entrance.

"You... what did you do?!"

The middle-aged leader cried out in terror, trying to activate the defense device in his hand.

But... in the next second,

he realized he had lost control over his body.

Not just him, but the remaining silver-clad men all knelt stiffly on the ground like puppets.

The surrounding students were stunned.

They hadn't even seen how Luo Yu had made his move.

"Is this your so-called... great mission?"

Luo Yu walked up to the instrument and squeezed it casually.

The precision instrument, made of special alloy and claimed to withstand a full-power strike from an S-rank Awakener, was crushed into fragments like a cracker in Luo Yu's hand.

"Go back and tell William."

Luo Yu looked down at them.

"His little schemes are like children playing with mud in my eyes."

"Also, tell that President of yours."

"Since he can't manage his subordinates properly, I'll do it for him."
