Chapter 452 - All Stars Federation (1/2)
Rumble.
An uproar broke out across the various social media platforms of the Protoss society. All of a sudden, it was chaos.
“Who did it, who is the killer?”
“More than a million Protoss civilians have been killed, Besides our enemies, who else would slaughter innocents indiscriminately?”
“Humans, it must be those despicable humans! They deserve to die!”
“Based on the impact at the scene, it seemed to be something called ‘nuclear weapon’ that was created by human beings using their advanced technologies right before the advent of our era on Earth. Only nuclear weapons can produce effects like the huge mushroom cloud and shock waves that spread out. ”
“Impossible! The humans’ nuclear weapons have all become useless as their power has been eroded by our celestial powers. How could such weapons appear again? As long as humans launch tens of thousands of such nuclear bombs, the combined destructive power of the bombs would be enough to kill the masters from the Shenguang Order. We will certainly be driven out of Earth by humans.”
“Who did the Jinwu family offend? How did they provoke this kind of revenge?”
“It’s over for the Jinwu clan. Almost all of their leaders, elders and elite disciples have passed away. More than 70% of their master practitioners have been injured and a million people have been annihilated. The rest are so terrified that they’ve fled and scattered in all directions. The Jinwu clan has been rich and powerful for tens of thousands of years; they had possessed an infinite amount of knowledge and information. Now, not only are they seriously debilitated, they might even be removed from the ranks of the top family clans.”
“It is not just a possibility but a certainty. As Protoss, we have always respected strength. With so many master practitioners injured, the Jinwu family has lost the right to be the top family clan. This title will automatically fall onto another clan. The clan rankings will change.”
“The Jinwu clan is over.”
…
These were the human public opinions on social media platforms.
Many people were surprised, but at the same time, they exclaimed in excitement and joy…. Their comments were rather schadenfreude.
“Hahahaha, this is so funny. They died well.”
“The Jinwu clan deserve this ending. This family is extremely fierce and unreasonable. Who knows how many evils they have committed that included killing, harming and humiliating human beings. This is retribution.”
“Only a million dead or injured? This is far too little. Years ago, more than a billion humans were slaughtered on Earth. Their crimes are extensive. Compared to the damages done to human society, this little bit of loss can’t even be described as painful. It’s just insignificant.”
“It is doubtless that, nuclear weapons, the weapon that was used in the attack on the Jinwu clan, have been ineffective for many years. Experts estimate that the yield of those nuclear bombs was about one million tons. How can they still exist? The scientific community has long declared that the universe is too polluted, there is no possibility of creating nuclear weapons anymore. What the hell is going on?”Read latest chapters at novelhall.com
“A trump. That will be the trump card of human beings. With nuclear weapons in our possession again, the Protoss will not dare to act rashly. It was only later when the plan of the universe had changed that it had resulted in us losing the all-important nuclear deterrence, and by extension, also our peace and homeland.”
“Are there more? Are there more of those nuclear weapons or those mysterious resistance forces? They should create more, or they could share the technology so we can put an end to the Protoss’ arrogance!”
“In the last three “Wars of the Humans and Protoss”, we humans have tasted the humiliation of being defeated three times in a row and lost countless stakes and profits. However, if nuclear deterrence returns, humanity will gain equal status. We could even recapture Earth that should belong to us.”
“Mysterious resistance forces, please do a good job. We absolutely can’t let those Protoss look down on us humans anymore!”
“…”
Many cheers arose.
…
The third day.
Inside the villa.
“Grandpa, about that incident, did you… send someone to do it?”
Even though Chen Junfeng was filled with apprehension and breaking out in a cold sweat, his gaze was expectant as he asked Chen Jin who was in front of him.
“Why do you ask that?” Chen Jin looked at him indifferently.
“Many Protoss investigators came for a visit today and asked some questions. They even raised the suspicion that the attack on the Jinwu clan the day before was our result. The Chen family is a major suspect in this investigation,” Chen Junfeng explained.
He was very worried. “Grandpa, the investigators were so aggressive. Not only did they request a detailed investigation of our various factories, they even insisted that we are responsible for the nuclear attack. They want to condemn our family immediately and punish us.”
“Deny it, deny it straight up,” Chen Jin said. “The Chen family did not participate in the attack, they have even less knowledge of the situation. We will never agree to the oppression of our family, framing us for this crime and the false charges against us! We will not be sitting ducks if they insist on using force to oppress the Chen family. In the worst situation, we’ll go for mutual destruction.”
In short, the family must deny the charges with all their strength.
“I know.”
Chen Junfeng raised his head and his gaze was lively. “This must be the trump card that Grandpa talked about? With a trump card of such a high level in our hands, there should be no major issues with the Chen family standing like a giant on Earth without dying. Grandpa, I am more confident now.”
It turned out that even on Earth, where the Protoss was extremely powerful, the Chen family could still retain their power to have the last word.
Good, this was really good.
“Don’t say anymore. If you say too much, you’re bound to slip up at some point.”
Chen Jin frowned and glared at him, “The Protoss are still investigating our family. No matter how they ask their questions, we have to maintain that we don’t know anything about the incident at all, this should be sufficient. If we think too much, they will try to catch our loopholes.”
Even at the very beginning, Chen Jin knew that this was a high risk. The Chen family would definitely be investigated.
The only way for the Protoss investigators to detect not even a single problem was to carry out and complete the attack on the Jinwu family alone. Everyone in the Chen family was unaware of it. Naturally, the investigators would not detect any issues.
Therefore, this was Chen Jin’s style. The secret could be better kept if there less who knew or were involved in the execution.
“I know, I won’t ask Grandpa anymore questions.”
Chen Junfeng nodded and blinked. Everything was between the lines.
…
In the next few months.
Regarding the heavy damages suffered by the Jinwu clan.
The senior administration of the Protoss dispatched a lot of forces and employed a variety of methods to no effect.
There was absolutely no news about the mysterious attacker. It remained difficult to lock down on the identity of the one responsible for the attack.
The Chen family was the key suspect. A large number of personnel were dispatched, and a major search was carried out three times. The family had been interrogated many times, and the investigators even employed the soul-search technique to secretly control a senior member of the Chen family. They had probed and searched the episodes of the member’s memories without finding any obvious signs that proved their suspicion.
Basically, the Chen family could be ruled out as a suspect.
So the investigation team withdrew most of the investigators, leaving only a few elite investigators to lurk around the Chen family… Intuition told a certain high ranking member of the Protoss administration that there was definitely something off about the Chen family.
Even if whatever they were hiding were not exposed now, it would be exposed in the future, hence the Chen family must be scrutinized at all times.
In addition, as expected, a large number of interests were freed after the devastating blow on the Jinwu clan, triggering a crazy struggle between the Tonghuang and Mugu clans as well as other less powerful clans.
The rules of robbing were very simple and crude. The two sides sent their powerful practitioners to slaughter each other. They used their corresponding strength to obtain a proportionate amount of benefits.
However, there was a terrifying amount of knowledge and information accumulated by the Jinwu clan, which surprised the less powerful clans. This also intensified the struggle between the clans for their loot.
