Chapter 128 – Red and Blue Trump Card
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After four activations, there were a total of four warships surrounding Liberty Island. Li Wei and the rest were not allowed to leave the restricted area.
Upon returning, Old Zhao said to Pangolin, “Although there is no reliable information, judging from the current situation, it’s very likely that the Federation may harm your companion. Comrade Pangolin, can you inform it?”
Pangolin nodded. An actual pangolin laid on the thigh of Pangolin and curled itself into a ball.
Although there was no technical explanation, it seemed that animals that were “anthropomorphic” could naturally gain the favor and closeness of other similar animals even after physical changes.
When the clock struck 16:00 in the game, Ren Suo noticed that the world’s strongest current combat power was 72,600. Hence, he got the nine-tailed fox, which was disguised as the golden monkey, to withdraw from “Knight’s Wind” state before appearing next to the Statue of Liberty to continue the activation!
At the same time, the personnel on Liberty Island received the news that gave them a great shock. They immediately adjusted the time and waited for 12 hours to pass.
The golden monkey had already activated the spiritual treasure four times, and after every activation, there would be red and blue laser beams 12 hours later. The Golden monkey would then vanish before appearing beside the Statue of Liberty again after 12 hours. Everyone had already gotten used to the sequence.
Ren Suo was fast-forwarding hour by hour. After ten hours, he noticed through “Reiki Vision” that there was an eye-catching aura slowly approaching the Statue of Liberty!
The warship could block the aura but as long as Nine-tailed Fox stood on a higher area, it would be able to see it because the ordinary trees cannot hide the powerful light belonging to human beings.
“Reiki Vision” is not only meant for the “All-devouring Soul” to search for spirits, but also to hide him from the strong. If Ren Suo took the combat faction route, and fight his way to seize the spiritual antiques used for evolving, he might have to use this function.
However, if he were to go ahead with enchantment and illusion, a fight may or may not be inevitable.
It was not a situation where it took two hands to clap. Ren Suo knew that he definitely wouldn’t get to escape this time, for the opponent was a huge nation on earth. If they were not confident enough, how could they have acted resolutely?
Ren Suo knew that the actual strong figures of the world were far more formidable than he could imagine.
The strongest of the world was in Xuan Nation and the target of the “All-devouring Soul”. What was so strange about there being an entity that could suppress the “All-devouring Soul” in the US?
There were too many reasons for their decision to take action. It could be to nab a mutant for research, or to test the stand of the Heavenly Palace, or to test the combat power of mutants…
Other countries with weaker national strengths can be ignored. The Xuan Nation did not make such plans because of the presence of Comrade Pangolin, but in fact, Ren Suo considered this to be the best opportunity for finding out more. Although he had no idea how much information Xuan Nation disclosed to the Federation, beasts are not humans after all. The fact that they were sent to ignite the spiritual treasure meant that they were probably servants in the Heavenly Palace.
If the Heavenly Palace reacted vigorously to this, the Federation would then be able to tell the strength of the palace and compensate for their wrongdoings. If the Heavenly Palace does nothing or just condemn it verbally, the Federation would then know what the background of the palace is like.
Since the Federation was huge, they could afford to carry out the operation. Although Old Zhao reminded the pangolin about it, that was all he could do. It was just something morally correct and the ethics of a repeated partnership. Other countries silently acknowledged their actions.
Anyway, the consequences will be borne by the Federation itself, and everyone can see the positive results. Hence, why not?
For governors, being powerful was not daunting, and what was daunting was the unknown. They had no idea what resources, people or manpower the Heavenly Palace had… In fact, they could not even confirm if it really existed.
By capturing a monkey, they would be able to gain a little insight into some of the unknown, and even if it fails, the loss suffered would be within the expected range… If the golden monkey was like Xiao Lan and had the support of Nine-tailed Fox, they might hesitate for a moment.
With such a high price-performance ratio, it was almost reasonable for the Federation to take action. The power of the Golden Monkey was definitely not part of their consideration, for none of them were fools.
Apart from running away, Ren Suo naturally had only one choice.
At least for now, Golden Monkey, which was a facade for Nine-tailed Fox, was still safe. They would definitely let the palace beasts activate the spiritual treasures before reaping all of the benefits.
Ren Suo fast-forwarded by another hour and let Golden Monkey walk around the Statue of Liberty.
It instantly caught the attention of the observers.
“What’s going on?”
“This was not the case the other day!”
“This should be the last ritual to ignite the spirit veins? Everyone, pay attention to the monkey’s position!”
Ren Suo patiently waited for time to pass.
There was one minute left before the spiritual treasures were fully activated.
The powerful federal practitioners displayed in “Reiki Vision” have surrounded the Statue of Liberty about 100 to 150 meters away.
50 seconds
All combatants on Liberty Island are in position.
30 seconds
Ren Suo’s preset “Illusion” was activated instantly. A monkey that was identical to Golden Monkey mimicked the latter’s behavior and began moving while the Golden Monkey that Nine-tailed Fox was hiding beneath, got into “Knight’s Wind” state and kept a one arm’s length distance away.
20 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds!
[You have activated the Federal Spirit Treasure.]
[Federal Spirit Vein Level +1.]
[Slight Increase In Reiki.]
[Because of the activation of spiritual treasures in Xuan Nation, England, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and the Federation, the other six spiritual treasures on Earth will also automatically activate within thirty days.]
[You have obtained 15 evolutions.]
[You have obtained an ace evolution!]
The statue of Liberty which Nine-tailed Fox was attached to, was compressed into a picture and merged into the back of a card with red edges and a blue back.
[You have obtained the red and blue trump card: Wings of Liberty.]
When the red and blue meteors darted out of the torch in the right hand of the Statue of Liberty and flew across the entire continent, the commander in chief of the warship no longer hesitated. When the spiritual treasures of the first five countries were activated, there were also such stunning effects!
“Action!”
At this moment, Ren Suo saw the golden monkey illusion made by the nine-tailed fox and everything froze!
An illusion of light and shadow made of Reiki without a physical body actually froze!
Even Nine-tailed Fox was slightly affected!
[Space Anchor: You are affected by the ripples of the Space Anchor. All actions will consume ten times your energy.]
The ripple effect created such terrible negative effects. Wouldn’t it be impossible to move if it was struck completely?
Is this their trump card?
Unfortunately, the Knight’s Wind is almost perfectly invisible…
At this time, the federal Practitioners rushed to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty within a few seconds and quickly realized that they had just shot an illusion.
Then, a white girl, wearing a Lolita skirt, suddenly started bleeding from her eyes while staring at Nine-tailed Fox!
“Damn it.”
Even though there was a distance of 15 meters, the veins on the bloodshot and soulless eyes of the girl made Ren Suo feel a little intimidated.
The girl then pointed at Nine-tailed Fox and yelled, “Here!”
In reality, another curly-haired man who had a strong aura was already pointing at Nine-tailed Fox by the time she yelled!
