“What do you desire?”
Lucius murmured, suddenly touching his face.
That excruciating pain and itching sensation tormented his nerves constantly.
“That’s right—you’ve been cursed by the Pope of the Church of Redemption. No doctor in this world can save you, except for the Last Hope Land…”
“The Core Space!”
Lucius solemnly spoke the name: “But aren’t the appearances of Reincarnators random?”
“Of course they are random, but if we consume the precious Invitation Card, it’s not impossible to designate someone… you know, although the Core Space is extremely dangerous, it also represents endless hope. Therefore, such an Invitation Card comes at an exorbitant price—one you have no chance of obtaining, even if you were still in your former position!”
The voice within Lucius’s heart sounded very mocking.
“I know!”
When Lucius was still at the Office of Supernatural Affairs, he had collected information about Pandora’s Reincarnators. He clearly understood that Dr. Seethe should have died long ago from an incurable terminal illness—if there had been even the slightest chance of a cure, the entire Pandora Empire wouldn’t have abandoned him.
Yet now, Dr. Seethe was alive and well, even leading the creation of the Thunder God’s Sword, becoming a butcher hated by countless people in this world.
All of this, naturally, was because he had become a Reincarnator!
If Dr. Seethe had regained his health through the Core Space, then Lucius himself also had a chance!
“Alright, tell me exactly what you want me to do?”
Because he was fully wrapped up, Lucius didn’t reveal any expression, but his trembling voice still betrayed his inner excitement.
“Don’t worry, what we want you to do is quite simple…”
The voice in his mind chuckled with a sneer: “It’s just…”
“What?”
As he listened, Lucius’s eyes gradually widened: “You actually dare to do that?”
“Why not?”
The voice laughed maniacally: “Only we, the New Humans, are the true masters of this world. The old-timers should be swept entirely into the trash bin!”
“New Humans?”
Lucius shook his head, knowing this was a common ailment among Reincarnators and Supers.
Once they obtained power, they immediately considered themselves superior, desiring more benefits and privileges. When these weren’t met, they would resent the entire world.
However, considering the current pitiful number of Supers compared to the entire human population—like a drop in the ocean—Lucius thought their ideas were somewhat fanciful.
“What? You think I’m daydreaming? Indeed, the number of Reincarnators and Supers is still far from truly influencing the entire world. But why don’t we think inversely?”
The voice teased: “Since the number of Supers can’t surge in a short time, why not just weaken the power of ordinary humans?”
“Hisss…”
Lucius was extremely intelligent, and with the other party revealing part of the plan, he immediately guessed the truth: “You actually want to provoke a world war?”
“Not ‘you,’ but ‘we’!”
The voice sounded very pleased: “Now, you’ve already become one of us. If you don’t want to suffer a tragic death when the plan fails, do it well!”
…
Half a month later, at the White Dove City Conference Hall.
After lengthy and tense negotiations, under the mediation of the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Jacaranda Federation, the Free Alliance Army and the Pandora Empire had finally reached a limited reconciliation, signing an agreement promising not to use nuclear weapons first and keeping the technology secret.
However, just because a nuclear war cessation agreement had been signed didn’t mean both sides had abandoned conventional warfare.
But for the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Jacaranda Federation, as long as neither side ended up destroying the world during their fighting, they were more than happy to let conventional wars continue, hence turning a blind eye.
Moreover, in the agreement, the Free Alliance Army led by Sheffield had suffered some disadvantages. After all, they had only used one Thunder God’s Sword, while the Pandora Empire had retaliated by launching numerous Thunder God’s Swords onto their territory.
However, the Free Alliance Army, being in a weaker position, didn’t protest. Perhaps Sheffield understood that such actions would be futile.
The new regime still had very few supporters internationally—or rather, practically none at all.
“Now, please exchange the agreements!”
On both sides of the solemn long table, Sheffield solemnly grabbed the pen to sign.
Opposite him, Prince Gaody did the same.
Outside the circle, numerous flashes of cameras flickered as countless reporters raised their cameras, capturing this moment, some already thinking of headlines for their return.
After sealing with wax, several copies of the agreement were retrieved by representatives from various countries and stored in stainless steel safes. Prince Gaody then politely stood up and shook Sheffield’s hand.
Although both wore smiles, they could feel the pressure from each other’s hands.
“Prince Gaody, it’s truly an honor! With talented people like you, the Empire has still fallen into such a state—it’s truly heartbreaking!”
Sheffield whispered in a very low voice.
“Likewise, likewise!”
Gaody smiled and withdrew his hand: “Mr. Sheffield, the tactics you employed during the war were truly admirable!”
The two Reincarnators sized each other up, both discovering the other to be formidable.
Of course, to ordinary people, this was merely a symbolic meeting between the two leaders.
After the signing ceremony ended, a grand banquet was immediately held to celebrate the hard-won peace.
The hall at night, illuminated by various lights, appeared even more magnificent and luxurious.
Politicians from various countries and local upper-class men and women wore the most appropriate and luxurious attire, dancing gracefully in the center of the ballroom.
Sheffield and Prince Gaody were among them.
“Unexpectedly, that Prince Gaody is also a Reincarnator!”
Sheffield wore a black suit, with a crimson bowtie at his collar exuding a slightly eerie aura.
Beside him was a female Reincarnator dressed in a gorgeous ball gown, her back cut into a V-shape: “Shall we eliminate him?”
“No need!”
Upon hearing this, Sheffield thought seriously for a moment before slowly shaking his head: “Those already exposed aren’t really terrifying. What we need to focus on is how many such Reincarnators the Pandora royal family possesses, and we must identify their identities, codenames, and teams within the Core Space. In the next mission world, we’ll use tracking items to completely eliminate them!”
After returning, both sides would continue their fierce battles anyway, so Sheffield naturally had no qualms.
“I understand…”
The female Reincarnator smiled charmingly and extended her right hand: “Boss, care for a dance?”
“Of course!”
Sheffield happily stood up but slightly furrowed his brow.
Just a moment ago, he seemed to sense something off about the ballroom—some areas felt slightly uncoordinated.
However, once he stood, the feeling quickly disappeared, as if it had just been his imagination.
He glanced around.
The lavish buffet, the moving and elegant melody, and the waitstaff—men and women carrying trays like fluttering butterflies—everything seemed perfectly normal.
“Indeed… if there were anything wrong, she would have already told me!”
Sheffield murmured inwardly.
This female Reincarnator in front of him was not only his secretary but also his lover and the team’s psychic specialist.
If there were any danger, it should not escape her psychic scanning.
“Perhaps I’m just being too sensitive!”
Looking at the beauty’s expectant face before him, Sheffield rarely relaxed a bit, affectionately taking her small hand and stepping into the dance floor.
“Unexpectedly, our rebel army commander has such an elegant and beautiful companion!”
Outside the dance floor, Prince Gaody held a glass, letting the deep red wine swirl into a beautiful vortex.
“Your Highness, would you like to join the dance?”
A lady beside him immediately issued an invitation: “Don’t let the Free Alliance have all the glory!”
“This…”
Gaody’s lips curved into a smile as he placed the glass down, just about to take her arm when suddenly his expression changed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just feeling a bit stuffy!”
Prince Gaody’s expression was somewhat odd: “Would you mind accompanying me for a walk by the window?”
“Of course, it’s my honor!”
The lady immediately replied with a delighted voice, as if receiving some kind of invitation signal.
Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Gaody’s reason for doing so was merely a simple sense of unease.
…
“The elegant singing and dancing of the upper class!”
Unaware to the revelers immersed in the ball, outside the hall, Lucius coldly watched this scene, turned around silently, and got into a steam-powered car.
Rumbling!
The car immediately accelerated as if fleeing for its life.
“I’ve already placed it inside. Can you really guarantee they won’t discover it?”
He looked at the driver in the front seat, silently for a moment before suddenly asking.
“Don’t worry! I know all about Sheffield’s reputation and abilities. I also know they have a woman in their team skilled in psychic scanning. This time, I specially acquired a counter item!”
The driver chuckled in response: “Now, let’s enjoy the grand performance!”
Just as he finished speaking,
Boom!
From the embassy direction, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted.
The ground trembled, shockwaves spread outward, astonishing heat and flames howled, finally shooting into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud.
Bang!
The ground shook violently, the shockwave sending the steam-powered car flying, but the driver seemed to have been prepared, grabbing Lucius and jumping out of the cabin.
“Damn it… You didn’t tell me it would be this big!”
Lucius angrily looked at the scene: “Now you tell me this is just a ‘regular bomb’?”
“Sheffield and Gaody are Reincarnators after all. To ensure success, I specially added something extra!”
The driver chuckled: “Now, it’s time for us to leave!”
