【Shang Zhaoya】.

The age is about 4,500 to 5,000 years old.

The behind-the-scenes ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The strength is at the [sublimation stage].

[Power] The effect is to increase speed.

To put it simply, it can make yourself faster.

It belongs to the [Permanent Passive Ability].

It can start automatically at any time and in any weather conditions.

Although there are no fancy special effects, it is pure and powerful enough.

after all.

Speed ​​is often equivalent to strength...

As long as you punch fast enough.

Can easily defeat anyone with one punch.

Furthermore, although pure and direct things sound simple, they are often difficult to deal with.

What can you do when others simply run faster and attack faster than you, not even a little bit faster?

This resulted in Shang Zhaoya's strength being ranked among the top among all the [Awakeners in the Sublimation Stage] in the world.

That's why.

After he personally admitted how terrifying Xi Shenlian's strength was.

The shock it brings to others is even more profound.

It's just now.

Xi Shenlian actually made Shang Zhaoya feel inferior to him?

You know.

Shang Zhaoya is an extremely strong type even in the [Sublimation Stage]!!

Especially people like Situ Likong, who had a certain degree of understanding of Shang Zhaoya's strength, couldn't help but twitch their faces.

They couldn't imagine how Xi Shenlian obtained such power.

Is it really just based on pure talent?

Are they really just relying on the intelligence reports that they are just playing badly and waiting to die?

If that's really the case, isn't this world so fucking unfair?

That's right.

As a true superior person.

The guy who stepped on the heads of countless people.

When facing Xi Shen Lian, all Situ Likong and the others could do was to secretly complain that the world was so damn unfair!!

However.

In full view of the public.

Facing Shang Zhaoya's proposal, Sharad Coles just shook his head lightly:

"That kind of thing is meaningless..."

"So I refuse."

"Besides, there is already an agreement between Xi Shenlian and me, and there is no need for you to interfere."

"When the time comes, I will fight him myself."

Faced with this somewhat unexpected answer.

Shang Zhaoya frowned slightly.

It's not a good idea for everyone to join forces to besiege a new generation strongman.

But in his eyes.

For the benefit of humanity as a whole, the other party should be someone who doesn't mind small matters...

A huge disaster like Xi Shenlian who is clearly showing off his abilities.

The greater the power, the more insecure human civilization will be.

Logically speaking.

When responding.

The other party should be more active than him...

It was like dealing with a bomb that was growing in size and could destroy all of humanity if one wasn't careful. If dirty tricks were useful, then Charrad Coles would have used them...

Therefore, Sharrad Coles's answer now was indeed a bit unexpected to him, and made him a little confused.

After thinking for a while.

He could only choose to accept the other party's answer, shaking his head and sighing:

"……All right."

“What a pity.”

"See you next time, then."

However, when he was about to turn around and leave with his subordinates, he turned back and added:

"I hope that the next time we meet, it won't be during a fight."

Regarding this sentence.

Sharrad Coles did not answer, but just stood there calmly.

Looking at this scene.

Shang Zhaoya shook his head slightly.

He probably understood the other party's thoughts.

That means an uncertain attitude...

But he knew very well.

Before finding out whether the so-called aliens actually exist, the other side will definitely not go to war with them directly.

Compared to those six stubborn old guys, Sharad Coles often has more things to worry about.

Think of this.

Shang Zhaoya sighed softly in his heart.

'ideal……'

"It's so far away and so elusive..."

After Shang Zhaoya left.

The white man who had spoken before looked at Sharrad Coles in silence for a while, then said calmly:

"I look forward to your future."

"Although we have different standpoints, I also want to take a look at the human society you describe."

"Of course, before that, you need to bring out a stronger force, a force that can completely defeat all of us or even kill us completely."

After saying.

The white man also chose to turn around and leave.

After this.

The other four figures who appeared at some unknown time also exchanged a few words with Sharad Coles.

They were all attracted by the noise made by Xi Shenlian.

The movement that affected the whole world made them suspect that it might be caused by the so-called aliens.

But when they arrived, they only saw Xi Shenlian beating his elders...

The actual situation can only be said to have nothing to do with the speculation.

In the exchanges between those people and Sharrad Coles, although there was occasional hostility, generally everyone maintained their own demeanor or bearing.

Although the stance is different.

Although the goals are different.

There is a huge conflict of interest though.

But everyone's words and actions were very calm.

Even when talking about a possible life-and-death fight in the future, several people seemed calm about the situation.

Because they understand that victory or defeat, life or death, survival or destruction... cannot be decided by words, but only by strength.

So even though their positions were completely contradictory, everyone seemed to be calm and peaceful.

Furthermore.

Hundreds or thousands of years of experience have already made their personalities complex and steady, domineering yet indifferent.

That is a feeling that ordinary people cannot understand.

Staying calm in the face of danger, facing a formidable enemy calmly...these are all the most basic qualities.

In a sense.

The six of them and Sharad Coles are the protagonists of this era.

Xi Shenlian, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and whose power was beyond everyone's comprehension, was an intrusive factor with a completely different style.

…

A few minutes later.

As everyone left one after another.

Sharrad Coles remained standing.

He looked at the [underground world] where the environment had changed drastically and it was like a high-temperature purgatory.

final.

He just let out a long, slow sigh.

Shang Zhaoya’s previous proposal.

Under normal circumstances, Sharad Coles would have no reason to refuse.

Even though the siege was indeed a bit despicable, and even though Xi Shenlian had made an agreement with him long before...

If the outcome of things can be more beneficial to human civilization as a whole, Sharad Coles doesn't mind doing something that goes against his own morals.

after all.

Some things have to be done by people...

You can’t say, if you don’t like it, just pretend it doesn’t exist, and if you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it.

I really wish it could be like that.

The world would not be filled with so much helplessness.

The reason why he directly rejected Shang Zhaoya was simply because he felt that he could not beat Xi Shenlian at this moment.

Even if we add a few other guys...

So, as he said before.

Shang Zhaoya's proposal makes no sense.

The so-called siege.

It would be more meaningful to wait until he successfully advances before fighting Xishenlian in a duel.

Then, Xi Shenlian said when she left: "You'd better hurry up..."

It made him particularly concerned.

'Is he urging me to get stronger faster?'

'Is it possible... that he is going to advance again?'

Think of this.

Sharad Coles could only feel depressed...
