Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 637: Turning Against Each Other, The Weakness of the Iron Body_1
The numerous protagonists quickly clashed with the official forces of Xing Country. Thanks to Wang Linchi's quick manufacturing of expert fighters, these forces didn't crumble instantly. However, they were still no match for the protagonists. These hastily trained experts were utterly routed when confronted by the protagonist group.
With the arrival of the Great Competition, the original barriers among the numerous protagonists dissolved. Those who once had no access to Transcendent abilities now mastered them. Driven by their Fate, their Growth was incredibly rapid. Some transformed from ordinary people with no significant power to Great Vehicle Period Cultivators or Grandmaster Warriors in just a few days. They had the power of Fate and were faced with danger, allowing unexpected changes to emerge from the immense power this induced.
So, if the officials of Xing Country could have resisted these protagonists, they would not have had to rely on the Divine Evolution Elixir manufactured by Wang Linchi to turn the tide. The combined strength of all the Transcendent forces could hardly hold back these protagonists. If the Old Ancestor of the Zhao Family hadn't been sent away, his fate now might have been rather colorful.
The President was injured, and the Prime Minister had lost an arm, but thankfully, he could regenerate it.
"What's the origin of these people? Why are they so powerful?" The Prime Minister looked gloomy.
The President's expression was equally grim. He initially thought they were young people he could easily manipulate, but he hadn't anticipated their terrifying power, especially their ability to grow stronger in battle. Despite initially being weaker, they were as resilient as cockroaches, nearly impossible to kill. Whenever he tried to kill them, they either escaped successfully or someone intercepted him, ensuring their safe departure. When they met again, their power had inevitably increased. They even developed methods to counter him, which was infuriatingly frustrating after repeated encounters. Even more crucially, they sometimes possessed abilities that could interfere with his judgment, such as lowering his intelligence or causing him to lose common sense. By the time he recovered, it was already too late. Honestly, it felt miraculous to have survived under such circumstances.
In the end, they could only attribute their survival to the protagonists' infighting. Indeed, the protagonists were not just fighting against Xing Country's fast-track experts; they also fought among themselves. They were competing for power. Killing other protagonists could amplify their own Fate. For instance, if a protagonist's power was a System, acquiring another protagonist's Fate could enhance their System. If the other person also had a System, the two Systems could fuse to form a more powerful System.
As a result of this intense infighting, the number of protagonists had drastically reduced to a little over a hundred. But these remaining ones were incredibly strong. Meanwhile, about eighty percent of Xing Country's fast-track experts had died, and those who survived possessed some skill themselves.
"I'm not sure, but Wang Linchi definitely knows!" The President said viciously, now certain that Wang Linchi had fooled him.
The Prime Minister was puzzled. How could Wang Linchi know this? It would only make sense if the President had some private dealings with him.
No, it must be the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10! This notion suddenly surfaced in his mind. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Where is Wang Linchi? Is he still at the base?"
"If so, we should find him!" the Prime Minister probed.
At this, the President was slightly taken aback before responding, "Yes, but we better not go. If his cover is blown, it'll be a problem for us. He has already survived one assassination attempt."
Using this as an excuse, the President clearly wasn't keen on continuing the conversation.
But this made the Prime Minister increasingly sure that the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 had already been created and might even be in the President's hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't be maintaining such a posture.
More crucially, this elixir must have some unknown limitations; otherwise, the President wouldn't be so secretive. If no such limitations existed, the problem would be even worse. This would mean that after undergoing this transformation, the President planned to kill everyone else and rule supreme. Regardless of which scenario was true, the Prime Minister understood that this was a narrow bridge only one of them could cross.
"I see. Let's leave it for now. We can find him after dealing with these people. It won't be... late."
But as the last word left his mouth, the Prime Minister's hand pierced through the President's heart. The latter had never suspected that the former would strike at this moment, nor had he expected that his steel-like body wouldn't withstand this attack.
"Your Superpower of having an iron body is undoubtedly strong, but in the end, it is only a Superpower. How can it compare to my combination of Spells, National Art, and Obliteration Abilities?" The Prime Minister's expression was filled with madness. He knew why the President had lost so badly—it was because he was too greedy. The President had developed three systems separately for life, attack, and Defense, ensuring he had no weak points. But the Prime Minister was different. He focused everything on attack, so the President's iron body Superpower couldn't withstand the force of his tri-system combination.
"What... do you... want, cough~" Intense pain, coupled with the Prime Minister's abilities, left the President completely unable to think.
"You're still so naive. What you want is naturally what I want too." The Prime Minister crushed the President's heart with his hand and, in the next moment, snapped his neck.
"You wanted everything but mastered nothing, huh." Gazing at the President's corpse, the Prime Minister couldn't help but scoff.
By now, Dragon City was a complete mess. The only way to break the stalemate was to become even stronger. After searching the President's body, he found a black potion. He initially thought it was poison, but he quickly ruled that out—though it was black, appearances could be deceiving.
Something so precious that he would carry it on his person... it must be the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10, he assumed. The Prime Minister was unsure, as the elixir had always been golden before, but he couldn't dismiss the 'what if'.
But to uncover the truth is simple. I just need to meet Wang Linchi. The Prime Minister did not inject the potion immediately. If the potion is indeed the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10, and the President hadn't injected it, that would suggest certain conditions are necessary for its use. Why else would he keep it on his body without using it? He wouldn't intentionally give it to me, especially at the cost of his own life, would he? How ridiculous that sounds.
I'm just not sure if Wang Linchi is still at the base. If he is, after I understand the situation, he can be killed, the Prime Minister thought, his eyes fierce.
As far as the Prime Minister was concerned, since Wang Linchi had decided to side with the President, he saw no reason to keep him alive. He didn't plan to be like the President, who handled matters with misplaced compassion. When the time came, he would kill without hesitation.
Hopefully, he wasn't relocated by the President. Otherwise, catching him won't be easy, the Prime Minister mused. He had given up on directly confronting the protagonists, knowing he was no match for them. Recklessly attacking would merely provide them with Experience. The Prime Minister had realized something: the fewer these people were, the quicker their progress. The best strategy is to let them kill each other while I inject myself with the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10. Only then can I crush them with absolute power. Otherwise, I won't be able to kill them.
...
"Hm? There's a twist?" In the base laboratory, Wang Linchi held a black Slime in his hand. He never expected the President to be schemed against by the Prime Minister, let alone for the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 to fall into his hands.
Indeed, one must never underestimate anyone. The President had both abilities and power, but he looked down on everyone else and died in a surprise attack. Serves him right. Wang Linchi's perception of the President was naturally not favorable. As for who was going to take the brunt of the storm now, it didn't matter to him whether the Prime Minister or the President used the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10—all Wang Linchi cared about was that someone used it.
But compared to the President, the Prime Minister is much more ruthless. He will want to kill me after quizzing me.
Sigh, all this maneuvering, just to coordinate, he lamented. If it had been the President, that man would have contemplated getting stronger first before killing me. Then I wouldn't have to play dead. Compared to him, with the Prime Minister, 'dying' once is inevitable.
THUMP.
Just as Wang Linchi was deep in thought, a violent tremor echoed through the base. It wasn't the Prime Minister—it was another protagonist charging over.
Perfect, an appetizer before the main course. It will make the later performance more genuine. Looking at his Destiny Level, which had already stacked to 137, Wang Linchi knew that 137 protagonists had already died directly or indirectly by his hand. He was the one who had stacked the most Destiny Levels among the protagonists, taking the top spot in this grand contention.
