Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 642 14: Justice Descends from the Heavens

Beidou's assistance arrived very timely.

Moreover, they were not entirely ignorant of the profane words of the Old Gods. Early on, after Beidou obtained secret information from the Far East Region's shelter, they had already learned about some mysterious events that happened before the great disaster. Additionally, Beidou's research on spiritual energy was even more in-depth than the Academy anticipated. They had even mastered a very special mind link and temporarily resisted the invasion of the profane words using collective mind will.

In fact, what the Academy didn't know was that Beidou had already grasped some knowledge of spiritual energy research during the coldest nuclear winter period.

Because this country once had a massive population, when the great disaster came, survivors collecting resources at the risk of their lives amid the exploding nuclear radiation witnessed the emergence of some initial awakened ones. However, most of this generation of awakened ones ultimately died from nuclear radiation pollution. Beidou had made efforts in the area of spiritual ascension but these efforts completely failed in the harsh external environment. The deep genes of humans are not easy to decode, awakening is the occasional manifestation of a mind miracle, and only the mechanical path can be popularized.

What they didn't know was that inside Beidou, highly transformed with mechanical enhancements, there was a very special academy.

This academy specifically trains 'natural humans', who are people not exposed to nuclear radiation and have not been injected with any antiradiation potion. The academy still preserves a large number of pure human embryos. What Beidou ultimately hopes is that after saving Earth in the future, humans will still have the right to make autonomous choices about their future, whether to live as a synthetic human or breathe air like a natural person.

And the resolute will of these Beidou warriors is not conjured from thin air but is the consciousness awakening condensed through generations of sacrifice, from the most brutal nuclear winter period until today.

Compared to the Academy, which possesses abundant knowledge and many black technologies, Beidou's path to establishment was much more difficult. As the Third World Asia at the time, it did not master much cutting-edge technology; establishing civilization from scratch after the nuclear war took not just one generation's effort but hundreds of years and sacrifices from multiple generations to form the complete industrial system Beidou has today.

These warriors are both witnesses and guardians.

Until Beidou reestablished itself in Asia, many among them only then began to believe that they are the future of humanity.

Boom!

A beam shot out from the steel monster in the distance. The light prism directly pierced through the heavy exoskeleton of the super mutants, detonating explosively behind it after complete penetration.

This was the Apocalypse Heavy Tank, modeled after the pre-disaster 138 heavy tank, powered by nuclear power. Its initial design was to counter the Star Wars, initially using conventional ammunition, later outfitted with energy weapons, it was once the ace unit on land.

Of course, this isn't counted as the most cutting-edge black technology weapon. It's noteworthy that humans before the great disaster even created several supersized mechas, and the Academy once excavated one of them from the ruins.

However, they hold little practical significance as their power consumption is too great and these mechas lack the ability for high-speed movement.

Before the great disaster erupted, humans researched controlled nuclear fusion, and numerous black technologies were initiated, including the research on superspeed jets for civilian use, included in the proposals back then, though never passed.

In the intense battle, a group of Beidou soldiers covered Su Ying and others as they withdrew.

While the elite troops led by Chen Long and Mao Tu faced the leader of the Esoteric Cultists, a monster that no longer could be defined as human.

The clash between spiritual energy and technology erupted in an instant.

The ferocity of the battle completely exceeded everyone's estimates.

Although Beidou's soldiers relied on awakened group consciousness to become immune to the mental control of profane words, when the enraged humanoid monster extended its palm, they realized the kind of existence they were truly facing.

A Beidou soldier struggled as he was lifted into the air. Accompanied by a gentle fist-clenching gesture, his exoskeleton and body deformed without any chance to resist.

Telekinesis.

This humanoid monster possessed unbelievably powerful telekinesis.

Not only that, but almost instantly encircled, a small part split from its body tentacles and directly pierced into the bodies of those Esoteric Cultists.

Then the astonishing flesh mutation began instantly. Within just a few seconds, the bodies of those Esoteric Cultists swelled rapidly, more exaggerated than the super mutants, finally transforming into grotesque horned humanoid monsters with bizarre black keratin skin.

"Black Goat Descendants [Flesh Mutation]!"

Not only that, but a portion proliferated and split from that humanoid monster invaded the super mutants as well, and a massive monster Su Ying had seen before appeared.

"Super Mutant [Flesh Mutation]!"

Within a few minutes, upon realizing these super mutants might not be opponents for Beidou's elite troops, the leader of the Esoteric Cultists used an unbelievable method to create some even more terrifying mutants.
