188: Chapter 188 The University of Tokyo's Welcome
"Everyone, I am a commissioner sent by the state, specifically to make contact with you. Since you have appeared and haven't left, you must also be inclined to interact with us. So, let's have an open and honest talk."
"First, we want to know about the Blue Star Defense Department and those alien creatures. I'd like this gentleman to provide some answers for us," the high-level official asked directly, not wasting any time.
The Captain-level Warrior of the Blue Star Defense Department had already established contact with headquarters and knew they intended to reach out to various countries. Thus, headquarters informed him that he could reveal everything. Without hesitation, the Captain-level Warrior disclosed the existence of the Great Lizard and the Blue Star Defense Department.
"Are you saying the Blue Star Defense Department has existed for a very long time?" the high-level official asked in shock upon hearing this.
"Correct. In the battle a thousand years ago, the Great Lizard Clan was heavily damaged, so in the following years, they only sent small units to Blue Star to gather intelligence. At that time, our Blue Star Defense Department could still handle it. But as time passed, both the frequency and quality of the Great Lizards' arrivals have been increasing daily. Now, the defensive strength of the Blue Star Defense Department is stretched thin. As you've seen, due to an intelligence failure this time, we were unable to maintain the lockdown, exposing the Great Lizard to the world. Therefore, our headquarters decided to gradually make contact with countries around the world to let everyone know."
"Our enemy has never been ourselves, but those alien creatures who feed on our flesh and blood and wish to enslave us," the Captain-level Warrior replied.
Hearing that humanity faced such a massive hidden crisis, even the high-level officials couldn't help but gasp.
"Then what's the deal with conventional weapons being ineffective against them?" the high-level official paused before continuing to ask solemnly.
Subsequently, the Captain-level Death Warriors explained the unique nature of the Great Lizard possessing Ethereal Energy.
Upon hearing that only nuclear power could break through the defense of Ethereal Energy, the high-level official was so shocked he didn't know how to react.
"According to what you're saying, aren't we humans like lambs to the slaughter? Then how did humans defeat them thousands of years ago?" At this moment, another general responsible for the matter spoke up and asked.
"According to records, it was done by the Child of Destiny, Emperor Ying. However, we have no records of specifically how he did it. We suspect that Emperor Ying trained a unit of elite warriors, continuously killed lower-level Great Lizards, and finally fought a decisive battle against the Great Lizard Emperor, resulting in a tragic victory where both sides perished."
"Child of Destiny?"
"You could also call him a peerless genius seen once in a millennium. It's not an exaggeration for such a genius to be called the Child of Destiny. In terms of absorbing Ethereal Energy for reinforcement, talent is extremely important. The gap between a genius and an ordinary person can be compared to that between a human and livestock. It's just like learning mathematics; without talent, no amount of hard work will help," the Captain-level Warrior said, holding nothing back.
Everyone let out a long sigh after listening. Such a large amount of critical information left these high-level officials lightheaded, and for a moment, they couldn't think of any way to respond.
Then, the high-level official turned his gaze toward the Death Warriors.
"Sir, your organization was also responsible for the incident in Hong Kong City last time, wasn't it?" the high-level official asked directly.
The leading Death Warriors nodded, admitting to it.
"At that time, when our people found your companions, they expressed that they didn't want to have contact with our officials. So, what is the meaning of your initiative to contact us this time?"
"Our leader also didn't expect the situation in the Inner World to have deteriorated to such an extent that the Great Lizard could manifest openly in the streets. You don't need to overthink our intentions; we harbor no ill will toward you, otherwise we wouldn't have followed you here. Our leader's view is that regardless of which organization we belong to, we are all members of humanity. Now that all of humanity faces total annihilation, we have a responsibility to contribute our part," the leading Death Warriors replied.
"Inner World? Your leader! Can you tell us who your leader is? I greatly admire his sense of the bigger picture."
"Inner World is our organization's cryptic term for the Great Lizard invasion. As for our leader, he doesn't want to expose too much. However, I can tell you that he is also a person of Dongda. He doesn't want his motherland to fall into chaos because of the Great Lizard. Therefore, he sent us to contact you. At the same time, before your warriors are fully trained, we can help you deal with some sudden Great Lizard arrivals."
"Ah!" Hearing the words of the leading Death Warriors, the high-level officials were all heartened. This was outside help seeking them out! This surprise was too sudden!
Hearing the exclamation, the leading Death Warriors intentionally put on a puzzled expression.
"Sir, don't misunderstand. We warmly welcome your arrival. You've truly come at the perfect time. With you here, at the very least, we won't be without the power to resist when facing the Great Lizard. Rest assured, from now on, you will be Dongda's most precious guests. We can discuss any requirements you may have!" In a flash of insight, the high-level official realized the value of the Death Warriors and hurriedly welcomed them with enthusiasm.
