Chapter 49: Military and Angelic Beings
In the headquarters building of the human federation, the conference room buzzes with tension.
On the big screen, the footage of Yi Chen slaying the golden giant python plays on a continuous loop.
Marshal Iron Blood and fourteen military leaders watch intently, their thoughts hidden.
After a long silence, Iron Blood suddenly turns his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across the two Eight-Star Generals and the twelve Seven-Star Generals.
“What do you think?”
One of the Seven-Star Generals speaks up, “There’s no hesitation needed. We should fully reform and eliminate those soldiers with weak talents, recruiting a large number of high-talented new recruits for training.”
“Especially in the infantry, we need to completely rebuild!”
“That’s too radical. Every military reform we’ve made has caused a huge impact. Moreover, we are currently betting everything on Yi Chen.”
“Theoretically, after the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe approach or break through to the first level of Spirit Release, Yi Chen will teach them the complete version of the Cloud Treading Technique and the new skill. This should take about one to one-and-a-half months.”
“But this is just our judgment and speculation. Whether it really turns out that way is uncertain.”
“As the public says, for a genius like Yi Chen, any unexpected decision he makes is perfectly reasonable.”
“Even though we have gathered hundreds of psychological and behavioral experts to analyze Yi Chen’s thoughts and psychology daily, there remains a possibility of misjudgment, and it’s not a small chance.”
One Eight-Star General suggests caution: “Undeniably, large-scale reform is imperative. Yi Chen’s new skill has shown us the powerful capabilities of individual combat, proving that humanity can indeed hope to defeat the Various Races with a single strike.”
“Previously considered cannon fodder within our military, the infantry may rise as a result.”
“Had it not been for the low talent ceiling among humanity, the infantry could have become our primary combat strength.”
“Still, according to estimates from the research institute, Yi Chen’s potential could reach the level of a top mech.”
“Our military possesses vast resources to nurture geniuses, potentially surpassing Yi Chen and achieving individual power comparable to aircraft.”
“If we can gather and focus on training a large number of geniuses, with hundreds of thousands or even millions possessing combat abilities similar to that of aircraft, we could form an exceptionally powerful special forces unit, unleashing unimaginable might in the war against the Various Races.”
“But this won’t happen in a month or two; there’s no need to rush.”
The Eight-Star General summarizes, “I believe we can wait until Yi Chen officially announces the complete version of the Cloud Treading Technique and the new skill before proceeding with the reforms.”
“And even then, we should take our time, starting with infantry, which has less impact but the greatest shock.”
“We can halt the training of genetic warriors and eliminate them directly because, barring any unexpected events, once the geniuses break through to higher levels of Spirit Release and learn Yi Chen’s new skill, they can easily defeat the genetic warriors that take years and vast resources to cultivate.”
“The mech soldiers, pilots, and crew members of various warships can remain unchanged for the time being.”
“When recruiting new soldiers, we should add talent criteria on top of the existing requirements. After all, according to research, higher realms significantly enhance reaction speed, hand speed, and physical condition.”
“With high talent, the operation of mechs, aircraft, and warships will also see a great improvement as their power levels increase.”
Another Eight-Star General and the twelve Seven-Star Generals nodded in agreement.
Marshal Iron Blood frowned slightly.
In truth, he preferred to enact reforms faster and to make them more substantial.
The analysis from the Eight-Star General is reasonable.
However, he feels an indescribable sense of unease.
Yi Chen, the greatest genius in the history of humanity, has ideas that are beyond ordinary prediction.
His rate of development may not follow the rapid pace expected by the research institute, reaching its limits quickly.
So far, Yi Chen has created miracles with his sheer strength.
He might even create more miracles.
If the reforms are implemented after confirming his capabilities, even if the Military can mobilize all the resources of humanity, they may still fail to keep up with Yi Chen’s progress.
Once the races around the Milky Way discover that humanity has discovered Yi Chen’s secrets and the hope for rapid growth, they will likely use their strongest measures to suppress it.
They will not allow humanity the time to develop.
However, after hesitating for a few seconds, he decides not to voice his opposition.
Every senior member of the Military believes that cautious reform is better. Although as the Marshal, he could crush all dissent with a single forceful act, it would undoubtedly create rifts within.
“Let’s discuss the details of the reform!”
Marshal Iron Blood finally speaks, setting the tone for this meeting.
Reform.
Caution is key!
……
In the Angelic Galaxy.
A galaxy ruled by the Angelic Beings.
Most of the life planets are in their control, while a few are occupied by other races.
In the Sacred Land.
In a colossal palace that towers over a thousand meters and covers millions of square kilometers, the leader of the Angelic Beings is in meditation.
He stands about five meters tall and radiates a suffocating aura of majesty, as if he is the ruler of the universe, powerful and arrogant.
From his back, six enormous golden wings spread out.
The energy within a hundred miles rushes towards these six grand golden wings like a tidal wave.
Suddenly, a barrier envelops the surrounding area, shimmering with strange lights and patterns, sending out a pulse.
The leader of the Angelic Beings opens his eyes, a slight frown appearing on his forehead.
With a wave of his hand, he creates a gap in the barrier that not even the intense attacks from humanity’s large battleships can breach.
An Angelic Being with a pair of silver wings flaps into the air and flies in.
“Leader!”
The Angelic Being kneels before the Leader of the Angelic Beings, holding a green gem in his hands.
“Lord Burton has sent someone with important information that requires your decision.”
The Leader of the Angelic Beings waves his hand.
The green gem flies to him.
His consciousness enters it.
Images flash before him.
They are the records of Yi Chen defeating the golden giant python.
Then, a figure with a pair of golden wings appears in the images.
This is none other than Lord Burton, the powerful two-winged golden angel who holds great power among the Angelic Beings.
According to Burton, the unparalleled genius of humanity in the images has created new skills that could potentially shift humanity from relying on technology to focusing on personal strength.
If humanity undergoes this transformation, it could lead to unpredictable outcomes.
Burton suggests using this as an opportunity to connect with the races that are enemies of humanity and form a coalition to attack the Milky Way.
Even if they cannot wipe out humanity in one strike, it should severely wound them, preventing any transformation.
The Leader of the Angelic Beings frowns more deeply.
“Burton, is this fear from being defeated by humanity last time?”
“How long has it been? Just an image of a single genius from humanity has reached me twice!”
“And now he even suggests uniting with other races to attack humanity? Does he not consider the price the Angelic Beings would have to pay to initiate this coalition?”
He looks at the silver-winged Angelic Being still kneeling on the ground and impatiently says, “Inform Burton that humanity is inherently weak; even if they succeed in transforming, their ultimate cultivation will only give them faster reactions and operations, making their battleships more agile.”
“This level of improvement is not enough to make the major races wary, and we, the Angelic Beings, have no need to overreact.”
“Yes!”
The silver-winged Angelic Being quickly responds.
“Also tell Burton that I do not want to see that image of the human genius for a third time; he does not have the right to disturb my meditation!”
The Leader of the Angelic Beings impatiently waves his hand.
The silver-winged Angelic Being hastily bows and leaves.
