Chapter 52 Materialism with Theistic Characteristics
The real world.
Star City.
Dragon Soul Squad Base.
After detailed and thorough testing with the equipment, Bevy's physical data was finally fully compiled.
Arm strength: 712 kg
[Top sprint speed: 102 km/h]
Resting heart rate: 14 beats/minute
The unknown energy on its surface (tentatively named "Black Flame") possesses annihilation properties that transcend conventional physical effects...
[Overall Assessment: Life Forms Have Surpassed the Known Range of Humans]
Upon seeing this report, everyone who knew about the matter, including but not limited to the high-ranking officials attending the meeting in the top-secret channel, members of the Dragon Soul team, and the team doctor who had just arrived, all fell silent...
These physical data are no longer those of a human!
The Dragon Soul team members had complex and indescribable expressions.
They underwent countless brutal training sessions, honing their top-notch combat skills and considering themselves the pinnacle of human combat power—except for Xu Yuan.
But Bevy's physical abilities far surpassed theirs.
What exactly is the point of their usual hard training?
A technique?
To put it bluntly, if they were to go head-to-head with Bevy in a one-on-one situation...
Without using weapons, they will definitely lose!
This illustrates the inadequacy of manipulative monsters when facing numerically superior monsters.
You may have the skill to land countless punches, but none of them will cause significant damage.
But if someone lands a punch, you'll be lying on the ground...
Moreover, according to the test results, Bevy's defense has also been enhanced in the same way, and she may even be able to withstand countless punches from her opponent without breaking through her defenses...
The opponent is so powerful simply because of "faith and making a wish"...
That's right, after carefully investigating the clues, they finally found the only possible reason why Bevy was so powerful...
Is choice really more important than effort?
As for Zhao Guoqiang and the new team doctor...
The expressions on their faces were even more subtle.
The new team doctor, like the idea king, is one of Zhao Guoqiang's confidants.
The sixth brother was in charge of the final insurance plan.
He was responsible for helping Zhao Guoqiang test his physical data and recording it.
He also learned that Zhao Guoqiang had been infected with the power of the "God of War".
According to the data from previous tests, Zhao Guoqiang's physical condition was greatly improved after being infected with the power of the "God of War".
It has already transcended the limitations of the human body.
But compared to Bevy now...
It's like comparing a small fry to a big fish; it's the difference between an ordinary person and a superhuman.
Not long ago, he joked with Zhao Guoqiang—"Although you were infected, you also gained strength..."
The power that Beiwei has now gained far exceeds that of Zhao Guoqiang, and the only price she has paid is "faith and making a wish".
Zhao Guoqiang was not jealous of the power that Bei Wei had gained.
He's more concerned about something else now.
That was the black flame that appeared after I was infected and subconsciously thought of making a wish...
"Could you please tell me... exactly how can I make a wish through faith?"
……
When Bevy got home, it was eight hours later.
During the period when the sword of Damocles hung high overhead as the end of the world approached.
Any opportunity that may enhance one's own strength should not be missed.
My past experiences have already proven that simply accumulating quantity is meaningless.
Besides pinning our hopes on unproven, groundbreaking technologies, the elevation of individual power may be another path for the survival of civilization.
In the research institute, they tried countless methods to replicate this power.
It was just a very simple act of "believing and making a wish"...
But without exception, they all failed!
Having a rare moment of free time, she sorted through the events that had just occurred in her mind.
Whether one can gain "superpowers" seems to be related to the strength of one's "belief and wish".
Having witnessed firsthand how Xu Yuan shattered an alien warship with a single punch in his previous life, he naturally held this belief firmly.
Moreover, in this life, Xu Yuan has displayed many abilities that he had never used in his previous life.
Black flames, the descent of will, the bestowal of power...
Her resolve was stronger than ever before.
But others might not be the same.
Even Zhao Guoqiang and the Dragon Soul team, according to the analysis of psychological experts, although they said they "believe in making wishes", in reality they were more admiring of the strong when it came to making wishes.
"Insufficient level of faith..."
Bevy's pen tapped on the paper, making a clicking sound.
Bevy put down the pen and paper in her hand and rubbed her forehead.
I've encountered a problem.
Even she, a reborn person, couldn't think of a solution for the time being.
In a materialistic environment, promoting belief in God...
I doubt they'd even say something like that if they were just looking for trouble!
What's this called?
Materialism with distinctive theistic characteristics?
Even without pressure from relevant departments, very few people would actually believe it, let alone be as steadfast as I am...
At the same time, Zhao Guoqiang also encountered the same troubles as Bei Wei.
However, what Beiwei was worried about was how to pave a new path for humanity, while Zhao Guoqiang was worried about his own infection situation.
He could feel more and more that the power of the "God of War" hidden deep in his heart was still constantly retaliating.
The black flames that suppressed the power of the god of war were gradually consumed because they were not replenished.
Even though he made a wish in his heart again, it had no effect, and the black flames still could not be replenished.
With this ebb and flow, sooner or later I will lose control.
The solution is right there.
Although there is no clear evidence to suggest that possessing "superpowers" like Bevy can suppress the infection of the "God of War".
However, based on a series of tests conducted by Bevy, this is most likely the case.
All you need to do is copy the answers.
But I just can't seem to copy it correctly!
No matter how much Zhao Guoqiang tried to convince himself, he didn't sense anything unusual, let alone the black flames.
Zhao Guoqiang called the team doctor.
"Record it," he said calmly to the team doctor beside him.
"I recorded all my subjective feelings and data on changes in my body."
He wanted to use his body, which was sliding into the abyss, to leave behind the most detailed "living research data" for those who came after him.
Even if it only adds a tiny sliver of hope to the survival of human civilization, this sacrifice has meaning...
……
At that moment, Xu Yuan was rushing home.
His vast energy reserves mean he no longer needs to rely on the sea for travel; pure flight has become a better option.
The chaos in North America has been left behind.
The collapse of the CIA and the erasure of the newspaper empire created a huge power vacuum, and various factions are busy fighting for the legacy.
As for the American military, after experiencing a complete and desperate defeat, they have lost the courage to do anything—unless the president hiding in Hawaii dares to risk the destruction of his homeland by pressing the nuclear button.
Moreover, it was just a test.
No one can guarantee that the Eastern apocalypse will not survive a nuclear bomb.
The opponent's strength has exceeded their imagination.
Almost all of the top military leaders were plunged into despair.
Not only is their technology completely inferior to that of the Great Xia, but they are also far behind in terms of individual strength...
The world order is about to change!
They could only watch that terrifying figure walk further and further away through satellite surveillance and the sound of air raid sirens.
"Old Xu! Little Meng! I'm back!"
The familiar front door was pushed open, and the scene in the living room came into view.
Old Xu was sprawled on the sofa with his legs crossed, picking his nose with one hand and happily scratching his toes with the other. Xu Meng, meanwhile, was curled up on the other side, clutching her newly bought phone.
A warm feeling instantly welled up in Xu Yuan's heart.
As his power grew, especially when he used black flames to reduce life to nothingness in swathes, he often felt a detached indifference, and even began to doubt whether he was straying from the essence of "humanity"...
But at this moment, the familiar, even somewhat vulgar, daily routine at home acted as the most solid anchor, firmly pinning him back to the "human world."
"Brother!" Xu Meng looked up at the sound of his voice, her eyes wide with disbelief, her tone filled with disbelief. "You're back! Is what they say online true? Are you really Superman?"
"Nonsense!"
Old Xu put down his hand that was picking at his feet and glared at her.
"Your brother is clearly Poop Superman!"
