I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 636 - 634 Human Shura

Time passed like a fleeting horse.

Wei Tianyang’s Black Medicine had been researched by the Council Army for over a year. During this period, the unit had changed its name, rebranding itself as the Human Alliance Army, to decisively break away from those politicians.

They had steadily taken in numerous military forces that had grown disillusioned with their national governments and, as a result, abandoned their homelands, even including some Superpower Special Forces.

The Human Alliance Army was unwaveringly preparing for a decisive battle, and ultimately, they were bound to confront Wei Tianyang in an uncompromising showdown, with absolute refusal to surrender to him.

This was not a matter of good versus evil, but a brutal war over the right to survival between two species. Commander Lu had come to deeply understand this and had completely realized that those politicians would never comprehend; even now, they still harbored fantasies about negotiating with Wei Tianyang.

The Human Alliance had only its army left. In this disconnected era, without satellites, communication systems relied on balloons, and pilots could only use their eyes to navigate fighter planes in the sky. Besides, once they entered the Red Zone, flying was akin to signing one’s own death warrant, as the scorching sunlight would selectively burn away all intruders, rendering jet fighters and missiles meaningless.

Likewise, the navy faced similar constraints. Ships and submarines approaching Heisai State at sea would be instantly dragged under, and without satellite navigation, all intercontinental missiles failed to achieve precise, long-range strikes and could only blindly fire. Not to mention the same sunlight that would nearly burn through anything flying in the sky.

Therefore, they had solely their army. In the 22nd century, the form of human warfare had regressed to that of the 19th century, relying on combat lines to push forward, except this time, the soldiers were endowed with superpowers.

After more than a year of research by the army’s scientific department, Wei Tianyang’s Black Medicine had made initial progress. The bad news was that there wasn’t a trace of superpower in the Black Medicine... The technicians speculated that Wei Tianyang had completely absorbed the superpower from the Black Medicine, which was why He dared to expel it.

The good news was that the Black Medicine, having been inside Wei Tianyang’s body, might have been influenced by His energy radiation, containing certain traits similar to His own. This entire container of Black Medicine might not bestow any superpowers but could serve as a kind of adhesive to absorb other Black Medicines’ superpowers, mixing into a special multi-superpower Black Medicine.

Of course, the good news wasn’t so great either. The Human Alliance Army was now a guerrilla force, and while some wealthy benefactors were secretly providing financial support, they couldn’t obtain enough Medicine People to experiment with the Black Medicine.

Morally unacceptable, and the conditions not permitting, there was only this one container of Wei Tianyang’s Black Medicine, nearly 92 liters. Although a mere one hundred milligrams could be used as an adhesive, if one considered the consumption for experiments, there wouldn’t be enough to form a significant number of superpower special forces, and any waste was intolerable.

Commander Lu was meeting with the military’s senior officers for 20 continuous hours at this moment, and there was still no consensus on how to utilize the Black Medicine. Chief Black Medicine Scientist Feng Nuoyi was arguing with genetic engineering expert Wang Yu.

Wang Yu advocated further diluting Wei Tianyang’s Black Medicine to link to more, albeit weaker, superpowers. This way, more superpowered soldiers could be created.

Feng Nuoyi proposed the opposite: reduce the number of soldiers but increase their quality by upping the Black Medicine dosage to link to more triad-level skills, thus creating superpower users capable of rivalling Wei Tianyang.

Viewed from the perspective of Black Medicine usage, Wang Yu’s approach was clearly more rational. The weaker the Black Medicine, the less strain on people, and after dilution, there were also increased quantities available.

Feng Nuoyi’s plan was extremely radical. For now, the Human Army Alliance lacked the capacity to provide the necessary Medicine People for Feng Nuoyi’s needs because frail humans couldn’t withstand even one triad-level medicine’s devastation, let alone the ultimate Black Medicine made from hundreds or thousands of connected triad medicines. This concoction could instantly kill a robust warrior; the experimentation process was too cruel, the investment to return ratio too low, and despite the appealing promise of successful individuals, it was far too pie in the sky.

Commander Lu was somewhat fatigued. He was getting too old and his body gradually couldn’t handle such intense meetings. As the debate between both sides grew intractable, he leaned back in his chair and began to doze off.

Price, now an elder statesman of the special enforcement squad, was also attending the meeting. He had grown old, his physical condition no longer allowing him to perform field duties, leaving him to lead the special squads at the rear using his experience.

"His Black Medicine can’t afford to be wasted, but I also don’t think that diluting it to create more soldiers is a good idea. Our intelligence agents have reported back that He has built a sizable legion in just one year. If we can’t swiftly initiate an offensive, this war will only become harder to fight, and besides, creating weaker superpowered warriors would be useless. We won’t have a numerical advantage," Price said.

"Do you support Feng Nuoyi’s plan?" Wang Yu asked.

"I don’t agree with him either. The pharmaceutical companies have been doing this for decades. By all accounts, at least a billion Medicine People have died in experiments, yet to this date, the global number of superpower special forces is only in the hundreds of thousands. We don’t have the low human rights advantage of the pharmaceutical companies; morally, it’s untenable, and even if we set aside those concerns, we don’t have enough people to experiment with. The chance of success is slim," Price said.

"But if we succeed with just one... Price, think about it, we could create another Him! Even if we only had one, we’d have a chance at success!" Feng Nuoyi said.

"Create another Him... And then what? After that, are we going to fight them again? It’s a vicious cycle, Feng Nuoyi. We’ve already created one monster; now, do we create more?" Price asked.

"Power is neither good nor evil; it depends on who wields it. He is a demon, but our soldiers aren’t. To create a battalion of super warriors who can tear Him to shreds, destroy Him—that is their mission! Scourge! Fight to the end! Until our mission is accomplished!!" Feng Nuoyi said through gritted teeth.

"We are different from Him. If we become like Him, we’ve put the cart before the horse." Wang Yu said.

"By losing humanity, we lose a lot. But without the beast within, we lose everything! Humanity is facing a disaster of epic proportions, yet you all hesitate!" Feng Nuoyi pointed at Wang Yu angrily.

"What you’re creating is not super soldiers, but beasts," Price said.

"Far beyond beasts, Price, far beyond beasts... they are Human Shuras... the swords to destroy the Pseudo-God. We’re confronting all the evil that Hell could summon and all the sins humanity could craft! He is Hell, Price! He is our Hell, and only a demon can rip Him apart!" Feng Nuoyi declared.
