Chapter 191 - Surprise (1/2)
The advent of the sacred scriptures made it possible for us to achieve our initial goal of finding a viable way for all of humanity to continue to live on. Through the study of the sacred scriptures, we have also made great progress and breakthrough in the field of light energy technology. ”Whether it's for civilian use, labour use or even military use, the development of the entire Heroic Spirit Hall is moving towards pure light energy.” Ben's face gradually grew feverish. The old man said excitedly, ”However, the harvest from the sacred scriptures is not only so. At that time, I was personally involved in the excavation work in the middle and late stages, and caught a special fluctuation. As a result, we discovered the secret research institute that was built under this city. ”
Ben swept his palm across the light screen, and yellow light formed a new model below the city. From the shape of the model, it looked like a crushed egg. The middle broke down into dozens of independent spaces, and there were even new symbols that formed the functions of these spaces. Of course, this was only a guess from the Heroic Spirit Hall.
Pointing to a room in the underground institute, Ben said, ”I have to say, this unknown civilization is not only ahead of us in terms of the technology of light energy, but also in terms of biogenetics. Right here, we found it. ”It's a giant sealed by some sort of culture trough, the Light Giant!”
”Giant of light?”
”Yes, it is so beautiful. In it, I saw the universe and the galaxy. Unfortunately, when we discovered it, the light from the giant quickly disappeared. After the bloody light that flowed into its body vanished, the giant quickly withered away. Now that I think about it, it must have deliberately fluctuated to attract our attention and thus discovered its existence. ” Ben said regretfully, ”If we had discovered it earlier, or if the giant had been able to hold on for a year, maybe we could have found a substitute for energy and let it live. In any case, it was dead. However, when we used its sections to study it, we found that the giant had an almost perfect sequence of genes. It was a perfect creature, zero, even God. Yes, God, that is the definition we give it. Other than God, what other creature would possess genes that are completely free of any flaws? ”
”But it still died in the end.” Zero said.
Ben said dismissively, ”Mortals can die, and planets can be destroyed. God is no exception. No matter how perfect a gene was, once it lost its energy supply, it would still die. However, none of this was important. What was important was that there were still the same fluctuations that existed in this world. Even though they were weak, they gave us at least one hope. To this end, we have developed an instrument that can receive and locate the undulations of the gods. And it allowed me to discover you, zero! ”
As his pupils dilated, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After talking so much, Ben finally got to the point.
”I don't know why, but I received such a wave a few months ago, and because of it I went to Remt and saw you. But at that time, the undulations from your body were still very weak. But recently, as your ability increases, this wave seems to become stronger. So, as you can see, this is the main reason why I invited you to join the Heroic Spirit Hall, and also where your value lies! ” Ben said solemnly.
”In other words, are you going to cut me up?” Zero asked.
Ben laughed and said, ”That would be too wasteful. Zero. I just want you to cooperate with our research, for example, by providing some blood samples, or by receiving a full physical examination every once in a while. In short, we will not cause any damage to your body. At the same time, we can pay you a sum of money for that. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to fund the rebirth plan. Don't you want to know why you have the undulations of a god on you and why you are related to that unknown civilization? ”
After saying that, he didn't rush Zero to agree. He only quietly looked at this young man.
Zero didn't think about it for long, or perhaps it was unnecessary to think about it. Whether he wanted to or not, Ben would never let him leave Asgard that easily. Whether it was the huge reward Ben offered or the clear understanding of the relationship between himself and the unknown civilization, these two were things that Zero could not refuse. Thus, he nodded his head heavily.
Standing up, Ben smiled and said, ”In that case, I welcome you to join us on behalf of the Heroic Spirit Hall and Asgard. However, although I like you, the extent to which you can be promoted, the power and rewards you receive, will still depend on your own efforts. After all, the rules that I have set cannot be broken by myself. ”
