Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 854: Chapter 0854: Scientific Expedition Chapter 854: Chapter 0854: Scientific Expedition For the Federation, justice and evil were not important.

The key was whether it could be ‘controlled’.

In critical moments, even praying to the Evil God for strength was permissible.

Baird arrived at a certain underground laboratory.

Not only was it heavily guarded outside, but it also permanently housed a team of Extraordinary People from the Federation.

Almost periodically, death row inmates whose files were to be destroyed were transferred here, to be used as various ‘materials’.

If everything here were to be exposed, there was no doubt that the Federation would face a massive shake-up, with countless people being ousted.

Walking along the corridor, inscribed with all sorts of runes, even Baird could not help feeling a bit oppressed.

“How is it going?”
He arrived at a monitoring room and asked.

“We have arranged for the criminals to pray to certain Evil Gods, but there has been no response…”
A person resembling a scientist shook his head, “Or rather… merely contacting them results in contamination, yielding no valuable information…”
Accompanying his words, the silhouettes of several test subjects appeared on the screen.

Some were tied to beds, eyes closed, constantly struggling as if trapped in an unending nightmare.

Others were biting their own wrists, drawing various incomprehensible symbols, turning their cells into bloodstained graffiti rooms.

Still others had simply been ‘destroyed’, their images too ‘contaminated’ to isolate and thus prohibited from broadcast.

“Turing Arthas!”
The scientist in the white lab coat repeated the name, “These two words, Turing… seem to be a taboo in the study of the Mysterious… even ‘Moon Concealer’, the Evil God who usually loves to record knowledge, refuses to communicate with us…”
“Not only the Righteous Gods, but even the Evil Gods do this?”
Baird murmured, “What exactly is that person?”
“Speaking of which, a batch of the latest data has just come in, would you like to see it?”
The scientist adjusted his glasses and played a video.

The video began with Posero City, which had turned into a vast swamp!

In the suburbs, tens of thousands of troops assembled, with unmanned reconnaissance drones flying overhead from time to time.

The only benefit of the second generation ‘Humanoid Golems’ was that they replaced humans as soldiers, sparing flesh and blood from taking the front lines in such times.

“Another probe?”
Baird muttered to himself, his eyes glued to the screen.

The next moment, following a command.

Large groups of mechanical soldiers rushed into the area of Posero City.

Tanks roared, and barrage from rocket launchers prepared to clear the entire city of Posero with artillery fire.

Boom!

Boom!

A series of explosions swept through the entire city area.

Sea water and soil were blasted into the sky, revealing huge craters on the ground.

One could say that in the current city, even if a person, by good luck, was not bombed, the subsequent waves of fire and evaporation of oxygen could take the life of any person, even lower-ranking Extraordinary People!

After the artillery bombardment, came the mechanical army that knew no fear and followed orders absolutely.

They rushed into the city area, searching for traces of Turing Arthas.

‘Could it be successful?’
In his heart, Baird knew the chances were slim, but still began to pray, hoping for a miracle to occur.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

One by one, the mechanical soldiers knelt down, as if a mountain were pressing down on them!

One plane after another, as if they had lost power, plummeted straight from the sky.

“Is this… gravity?”
Baird muttered.

“Yes… According to calculations, the gravity parameters of that district had changed…”
The announcer beside him said this, his own voice trembling.

Immediately, the screen turned into a flurry of snow.

Although Baird knew that as the army deployed, there was definitely also a team of Extraordinary People conducting a raid.

But the outcome for them was already predictable.

“This video is not meaningless, at least we now know… ordinary physical attacks are useless against that person…”
Baird sighed, his expression instantly turning firm, “But if he wants to destroy the world, he will have to step over my dead body!”
“The entire Federation, every human, is striving to stop him!”

The scientist beside him adjusted his glasses, “It’s kind of ironic, he alone has managed to attract all the impending Mars upheaval within the Federation towards him.”
Although he was a researcher, he was also aware of the series of disturbances outside.

But now, factions with originally opposing interests had to turn around and unify against a common enemy.

…
The deep sea.

On the azure sea surface, an exploration ship was sailing.

“Star of Hope, come in, please respond!”
Captain’s cabin, communication radio.

“This is Star of Hope, as an exploration vessel, we hope to contribute our strength to the world, over!”
Great explorer, archaeologist, senior federate scientist Harun said this, put down the transmitter, and stepped out of the cabin.

“This place… is the Source of the world, the deep sea below us is the Devil’s Seaditch!”
He stared at the seascape and the continuously retracting cable, flames seeming to burn in his eyes, “The history of lost civilizations, the origins of the Transcendents… it might be useful to the current Federation.”
Harun, not only an openly acknowledged scientist but also secretly one of the high-ranking Extraordinary People.

He was very aware of everything unfolding in the Federation, but here, this was his lifelong pursuit.

“If we can uncover ancient power, maybe we could deal with that person.”
Harun thought to himself.

Soon after, all the cables were retracted, and a diver came up on deck.

She opened her facemask, revealing a face with azure eyes, incredibly beautiful.

“The depth is significant, even though I used my extraordinary abilities, I couldn’t dive to the very end…”
The female diver regretfully said, “But I discovered this…”
She pulled out a mud board covered in shells and seaweed.

“This is… a mud board?

Impossible… How could such material be preserved in the deep sea until now?

Does it contain Mysterious Power?” Harun brushed away the seaweed and was immediately lost in perplexity.

“Yes, look… the strokes here are clearly a type of ancient script we haven’t discovered before.”
The female diver pointed to the still visible markings, “Professor… you succeeded, we really found something from the ‘Ancient Su Lu Mythological Era’…”
“Yes…”
Harun was somewhat excited, yet also slightly regretful.

Excited naturally because he had achieved his goal, regretful because they only found a mud board, uncertain if it would be of any use to the Federation of today.

“You’ve worked hard.”
He quickly took photos of the mud board, capturing every mysterious character for immediate decryption.

If left to pure scholars, this task might be challenging.

But they had quite a few Extraordinary People on board, capable of drastically accelerating research progress.
