Only I Walk Alone

Chapter 27 - Weakness is a Fault



At the sound, Xiao Luo immediately bristled, and Sister Mei also looked towards the villa exterior with caution. Countless security robots rushed out and aimed their guns outside the villa.

Xiao Chao said, “Level one alert. A supremely powerful creature has appeared outside the villa. Wu Ge, Xiao Luo, Mei, please retreat immediately!”

Wu Ge waved his hand: “It’s okay, it’s someone I know.”

The security alert was not lifted. Wu Ge walked out of the villa and then saw the Nine-Tailed Fox Immortal under the sunlight. She had long reddish-brown hair and nine tails, with ears of the same color. She was also holding a purple-golden smoking pipe, which was clearly an extraordinary item.

Wu Ge said, “Fox Immortal friend, you jest. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to break through delusions so quickly. I should be thanking you. Please, come inside.”

This was the first time the Fox Immortal physically visited, so Xiao Chao didn’t know who this being was, since it couldn’t peer into Wu Ge’s dreams.

Upon learning it was someone Wu Ge knew, Xiao Chao deactivated the security alert.

The Fox Immortal entered the villa, observing her surroundings, and said, “So now, you are the master of this entire Earth?”

Wu Ge replied, “Earth is my home, but I’m not its master. One day, I will rescue all of humanity and bring them back to Earth.”

The Fox Immortal nodded, “Though we were once afraid of humans, without them, we demons also feel a bit lonely.”

The Fox Immortal sat on the couch, crossing her legs, her white thighs attracting much attention. Xiao Luo and Meii hid aside, overwhelmed by the Fox Immortal’s powerful aura.

Xiao Chao quietly said, “Legend has it that a fox demon gains a tail for every hundred years of cultivation, and after a thousand years, when they gain nine tails, they become a Fox Immortal. Fox Immortals are extremely powerful, many deities and immortals can only suppress them, not kill them. Wu Ge, I suggest you ask her for advice on cultivating mental power.”

The Fox Immortal clearly heard Xiao Chao’s words and said, “You think too highly of me. I am not invincible, especially against modern human technology. Otherwise, why do you think we demons have been hiding all these years, if not for fear of humans capturing and dissecting us for research?”

Wu Ge understood this point. Although he had reached the realm of breaking delusions and could control all matter within his mental range, there was a limit. He could defend against ordinary bullets now, but not against missiles, let alone nuclear bombs.

The abilities of ancient immortals, such as the third eye, the seventy-two transformations, cloning, immobilization spells, etc., can all be explained through the cultivation of mental power. Myths are not entirely fabricated and are not that far from us.

Nowadays, with the power of technology, humans can achieve their desires in a shorter time, such as immortality and gaining strength. Hence, people have stopped cultivating. There’s nothing wrong with this; after all, whether it’s science or cultivation, the goal is to become stronger.

If we were stronger, humanity would not have been abducted by the Microstar Civilization. If we were stronger, the nine-tailed fox clan would not have been annihilated. In the end, it all comes down to not being strong enough.

Weakness is a sin. Do not complain that we Earthlings were peacefully living on our planet when the Microstar Civilization, taking advantage of their strength, abducted all of humanity. This is not just, this is not legal.

There is no law or justice between the stars.

Weakness is the original sin, weakness is the fault.

So, we must become strong, by any means necessary!

Wu Ge then asked, “Although Xiao Li is dead, she hasn’t reincarnated, has she?”

The Fox Immortal sighed, “Though she went mad, before her soul disintegrated, I collected her remnant soul into one of my tails. Because she had lingering attachments, she couldn’t leave and was suffering. However, last night, she left. For this, I must thank you.”

Wu Ge said, “I should be thanking her. Without her, I couldn’t have broken through the delusion. But I have a question: am I really the reincarnation of Xiao Li’s brother?”

The Fox Immortal suddenly smiled, her smile eerily similar to Xiao Li’s. “Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?”

TheFox Immortal’s smile stunned everyone present. Unlike the beautiful smiles of synthetic maids, theFox Immortal’s smile could influence one’s spirit.

Xiao Luo and Sister Mei were deeply captivated by this beautiful and enchanting smile. It’s said that the nine-tailed fox is best at enchanting people, and now it seems to be true.

After a moment, Wu Ge asked again, “What about the other demon clans on Earth? Where are they?”

The Fox Immortal replied, “Who knows? Maybe they’re extinct, or maybe they’re hiding in some barrier, afraid to come out. With today’s human technological means, exterminating demons is easy. After all, we are still very weak. Though we can fly, we cannot escape this planet. Though we have various magical powers, we are still no match for human weapons.”

Humans should not be too arrogant, but they should not underestimate themselves either. The human invention of various weapons deeply terrifies the demon clans. Even a dragon that can control thunder and lightning is no match for powerful human weapons.

So, even if dragons exist, they would definitely hide and not dare to appear before humans. Even if humans worship and revere dragons, they would never show themselves.

Because, in this world, weakness is a fault.

Wu Ge sighed, “So, after the invention of firearms, the legends in various countries suddenly decreased, and creatures like monsters, vampires, werewolves, and ghosts no longer appeared.”

The Fox Immortal said, “We all hid within barriers, but we knew that with the rapid development of human technology, it would only be a matter of time before we were discovered. However, I never expected that humans would be captured by aliens. Truly, there is always someone better, and a sky beyond our sky.”

Wu Ge sensed a bit of schadenfreude in the Fox Immortal’s tone, but he didn’t mind because he now needed her’s power to help him save humanity.

Wu Ge asked, “What do you mean by ‘barrier’?”

The Fox Immortal explained, “A special space, a new space created on top of the original one. It’s something that can be done after reaching my realm.”

Xiao Chao tried to analyze, “The mind and four-dimensional space are inseparably linked. If the mind is strong enough, it might be possible to slice through space. The Microstar Civilization must have placed all of humanity into a new space because, otherwise, the size of the Microstar Civilization’s warships could not possibly accommodate all of humanity.”
