Chapter 24 This is also part of the plan!
Inside the study of the Bei family villa.
At this moment, Bevy is listening to today's group report.
Gathering all information related to making wishes—this is also part of the work report of the "Stay Calm and Don't Collapse" team.
Cheng Yong, who had a grudge against Xu Yuan, was naturally included in this group.
"Team Leader Bei, according to the internet surveillance department, Cheng Yong, who was previously missing, has appeared on a video platform and connected with Xu Yuan's father. The internet surveillance department has located his IP address. Should we require overseas special operations teams to apprehend him...?"
Bevy looked down at the stainless steel box in her hand, and her lips twitched slightly.
Logically speaking, the "Stay Calm and Don't Collapse" task force has already been very efficient.
but……
Making a wish is definitely more efficient!
"No need." She sighed and waved her hand. "The arrest warrant can be cancelled. Cheng Yong's head is with me now; someone will come to pick it up later."
She paused, then added, her tone unusually serious:
"Remember, after picking it up, immediately send it to the highest-level professional testing department!"
"Perhaps the solution lies within this!"
……
A dream world.
The black flames engulfing Xu Yuan's body illuminated a radius of fifty meters, far more intense than yesterday. His solidified spiritual form strode forward, beneath which lay the unchanging void.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, Slaanesh was once again shattered by a casual punch, his divine body turning into flying dark red fragments, which were then burned away by black flames.
"It's never going to end..." Xu Yuan muttered, frowning.
He wanted to explore the dream space more deeply, but the four gods were like hyenas that smelled fresh dog poop. Every time they were resurrected, they would pounce on him and entangle him, even if it meant being shattered by him time and time again, just to stop his progress.
This only confirmed his suspicions—deep within this space lay a secret they didn't want him to discover.
The more the enemy opposes me, the more it proves that I am right!
We must explore the dream world!
He swung his fist again, smashing the newly formed Nurgle along with his bubbling cauldron.
A viscous, unidentified liquid was splashed onto the black flames, making a sizzling sound, but it couldn't corrode them in the slightest.
The wish had to be put on hold for a temporary halt to the exploration, and to offer another physical prayer to the Four Gods!
As the number of times the Four Gods are resurrected increases, the time required for their resurrection also decreases.
Although the efficiency of wish enhancement has been slightly improved once again, the speed of exploring the dream space has been greatly slowed down!
All night long!
He prayed seven times!
More than ever before!
The four gods were reviving faster and faster, and his efficiency in becoming stronger was also increasing imperceptibly, but the progress of exploration was severely slowed down.
The only thing he was certain of was that this space was not empty. As far as the eye could see, there were only broken walls and ruins, charred and broken as the only theme, as if it had witnessed a terrifying war that lasted for thousands of years and swept everything away.
"Battle! Awesome!"
Khorne, his eyes bloodshot once more, leaped towards Wish, wielding his monstrous axe.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Khorne's power seemed to have increased compared to before...
Since reasoning doesn't work, we can only resort to physics!
"boom!"
As Wish unleashed another punch, Khorne shattered along with the giant axe in his hand!
At this moment, the wishing thought also felt a pulling force from the body!
Does someone call you that in real life?
He glanced at the seemingly endless darkness and the countless broken ruins along the way, and a thought stirred within him.
"I'll deal with you next time."
The black flames suddenly surged and contracted, and the manifestation of the wish vanished without a trace.
But the four gods, who had just been resurrected, were caught off guard and stood frozen in place.
After confirming that Wish had indeed left, the other three gods finally began to attack Tzeentch.
Slaanesh stroked non-existent wounds on his body, his voice trembling: "Tzeentch! Is this your plan? He's stronger now! And he's started exploring this place!"
The filthy creature grumbled in a muffled voice, green slime dripping from its massive body: "I don't want him to find my backyard..."
Khorne didn't speak, but stared intently at the spot where Wish had disappeared, his giant axe creaking in his hand. He craved battle, but not this kind of one-sided crushing and torture.
Under the intense gaze of the three gods, Tzeentch's lips twitched slightly.
If we're talking about who's suffering the most, he's the one who's suffering the most!
Who would have thought that my little tricks would be discovered by Xu Yuan so quickly!
Unfortunately, in the warp, the four gods could not sense other worlds at all.
Otherwise, he really wanted to see what kind of idiot could be so stupid even after receiving the blessing of his own wisdom and power!
As the other three gods drew closer and closer, the situation was beyond their control.
"Don't rush, this is also part of the plan..."
"That monster took away a lot of power today; I can already smell the chaos..."
"Look, he ran away again, didn't he?"
"We all have a bright future..."
……
In the real world, I wish I could open my eyes.
A barely perceptible glint of light flickered in his eyes before disappearing.
"Brother, you're awake?" Xu Meng stood by the bed, rubbing her eyes, and asked uncertainly, "I think I just... saw your eyes glowing?"
Xu Yuan chuckled and reached out to touch his sister's hair.
"Xiao Meng, do you believe in Ultraman?"
"Believe me...."
"I'll tell you a secret, I'm actually Action Kamen."
Xu Meng: ?
"By the way, Xiaomeng, what did you call me for?"
"Dad asked me to wake you up for breakfast, saying he wants to go look at houses today."
Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.
The three million dollar bounty was like a timely rain, quenching the family's hopes for the future.
It's time to leave this "concrete foundation" that's barely divided into three small rooms by partitions and move to a real, decent home!
"Okay, you can go out now, I'll be right there."
After sending his sister away, he focused his mind and introspected, carefully scanning himself with his newly acquired spiritual power.
Strength, defense, reaction speed... all aspects have been enhanced once again.
Yesterday it was the "ultimate humanoid tank," capable of withstanding heavy machine gun fire and grenades. So what about today?
With a slight exertion of force from his two fingers, Xu Yuan produced a soft, sonic boom-like sound in the air at his fingertips.
He estimated that with their current strength, they might be able to directly confront the armor-piercing rounds of main battle tanks, and even low-yield tactical missiles might be worth a try.
Feeling the surging power within him, Xu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
Enough to destroy an administrative region in a short time!
"Perhaps it should be called 'area-annihilation level'..."
……
Breakfast was already set on the table in the living room.
The morning news is playing on TV.
"Welcome to today's domestic news. The Great Xia Academy of Sciences simultaneously announced three technological breakthroughs: a controlled nuclear fusion artificial sun, a 400-fold hypergravity centrifuge simulation experimental device, and an artificial mecha technology for outer space, all of which have recently entered production..."
"The DaXia Space Agency launched a Long March rocket toward the far side of the moon yesterday..."
"Next up is international news..."
"Yesterday, a fishing boat from the island nation of Japan encountered a shipwreck in international waters. Survivors claim that what they encountered was not a shipwreck, but a sea monster..."
"Yesterday, a violent shooting occurred at a religious sect in Florida, USA, leaving 59 people dead. Based on evidence left at the scene, it was discovered that the victims did not die from gunshot wounds, but rather from impacts. According to survivors of the sect, Cheng Yong, a fugitive on Interpol's Red Notice, is the sect's pope. The case is still under investigation..."
"..."
The sound of news broadcasts echoed in the living room.
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became awkward.
Old Xu turned his head and looked at Xu Meng in a daze.
"Xiao Meng, am I still on Earth?"
"It should still be there..." Xu Meng scratched her head, looked at Xu Yuan, and hesitated, "No, it might not be anymore. My brother just said he was Dynamic Man."
Old Xu turned to look at Xu Yuan again, pointed at the TV with his chopsticks, and hesitated before speaking.
"Cheng Yong..."
"Mmm," Xu Yuan responded, lowering her head to silently drink her porridge, awaiting the impending questions.
But unexpectedly...
However, Old Xu's gaze swept over his son and daughter, and the complex expression on his face gradually softened, turning into a smile of feigned ignorance mixed with relief.
"Hey, it's just the news, take a look and move on! For us ordinary folks, the most important thing is to live our own lives well! Time to eat!"
He shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, his voice becoming loud and full of anticipation once again.
"Let's go look at houses after dinner!"
"Three million! That's enough to live in the palace!"
A smile unconsciously crept onto Xu Yuan's lips.
You need to buy a house, and you need to protect your home.
But this home is far more than just this small space in front of us.
The conspiracy of the Four Gods and the truth of the apocalypse are far darker and more enormous than imagined!
He was about to say something to his father—
Buzz buzz buzz!
The phone vibrated wildly in his hand, the words "Beiwei" flashing incessantly on the screen with an ominous urgency.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, and as soon as he pressed the answer button, Bei Wei's voice came through the receiver.
Her voice had lost its usual calmness, trembling uncontrollably, and even... revealing a hint of despair and collapse.
"Make a wish...Quick! Look at the numbers in the sky outside!!"
