Chapter 599 Stealing a House Leads to a Big Explosion
The aircraft left the city, flew approximately two thousand kilometers, and then fell vertically.
The ground below automatically cracked open, revealing a landing platform for the aircraft to land, and then the entire landing platform slowly descended.
A base built by the Western Union military specifically for space rifts...
Bai Ze looked at the scene outside and thought to himself.
He had already surveyed the young officer's base, so he knew exactly where he was.
This is one of the Western Union's main military bases, containing a spatial passage to the wasteland world.
"Choosing to stay here temporarily instead of in the city suggests that the general is putting a lot of pressure on them." Bai Ze made this judgment based on the officer's memories.
While military bases possess sophisticated weaponry and fortifications, they also have drawbacks.
For example, it is not located in the city, but in the wilderness.
This allows the opponent to launch an attack without any scruples.
Once the Faceless Ones and Rhine and the others are killed, the general's side will have achieved a great victory.
This may sound incredible, but sometimes political struggles are just that simple and straightforward.
Political struggles as seen by ordinary people—intrigue, open and covert attacks, back-and-forth exchanges, exhausting all political wisdom and tactics, resulting in an invisible battle.
In reality, political struggles have seen examples in ancient times, such as the Battle of Xuanwu Gate between the Grand General Tian Ce and the Battle of Seoul in modern times.
The victor takes all the opponents.
Judging from the apparent strength, with the God of Earth not returning, the Faceless Ones have no chance of winning.
The fact that they would actively distance themselves from cities despite lagging behind in hard power shows that they believe the disadvantages would only be greater in cities.
The technological advantage of magical machines is too great.
Bai Ze also considered the concerns of the Faceless Ones.
All the equipment in the city could become the enemy's eyes and ears, and complex external factors could also be exploited by the enemy.
Rather than being trapped in an unfavorable environment and constantly constrained, it's better to bring the confrontation back to a simple and direct confrontation.
Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of apparent strength, at least they won't lose in a completely inexplicable way.
While I was pondering this, the descent of the landing platform had already stopped.
The traveler was led away, while Bai Ze, the apparent attendant, was taken by the young officer to another place to rest temporarily.
Bai Ze didn't seem to care much about this, nor did he intend to go over and listen in.
Travelers heading this way are bound to encounter the Faceless Ones, and might even meet Hoddle, since there's a spatial passage leading to the wasteland world here.
Bai Ze can rewrite the traveler's perception, but he can't change the perceptions of the Faceless Men and Hoddle.
The traveler was only a ten-star martial artist, while the other two were both powerful experts from the Heavenly Gate.
However, it's not necessarily true that Bai Ze did nothing at all.
He followed the young officer down the wide corridor and casually asked, "Is my boss going to see Lord Rhein?"
The reason travelers are invited is to see the Rhine, but even if they come here, they may not necessarily see the Rhine.
Rhine is at most an eight-star martial artist now. Even with the title of successor to the God of Man, he has no way to influence the situation.
The Faceless Ones and Hoddle likely used the Rhine as a mascot.
Bai Ze's question, though seemingly insignificant, was clearly intended to probe.
Logically speaking, a young military officer who was sent to meet a traveler should have been able to sense the hidden meaning in Bai Ze's words, but he showed no sign of surprise and simply answered.
"His Excellency Rhein is not currently in a position to meet with guests. Mr. Crick wishes to see His Excellency the Faceless One," the young officer replied. "The esteemed War Marshal will also appear in the form of a projection."
The wasteland world and Earth have almost identical environments, so cross-world communication is not impossible.
In other words, Rhine is indeed a mascot.
Hodl appeared in projection form, but Rhine, who was actually there, was nowhere to be seen, clearly because he was worried that Hodl might do something that would be detrimental to their side.
Bai Ze smiled, "Since Lord Rhine has the time, why don't you take me to see him?"
This request was practically a blatant display of ulterior motives, but the young officer still agreed.
Please come with me.
As he spoke, he changed his route.
He acted completely naturally throughout, showing no sign that he was being controlled by Bai Ze.
Bai Ze planned to visit his old friend Rhine, perhaps even giving him a pleasant surprise.
Bai is best at fighting opponents of higher levels, whether it's upwards or downwards.
The outcome of an upward move is uncertain, but a downward move is a foregone conclusion.
He followed the young officer and saw many people along the way, but they all ignored Bai Ze and didn't even ask the young officer a question.
They went uphill, towards the upper levels of the base.
"Not on the lower levels of the base?" Bai Ze's gaze flickered.
Rhine has now cultivated the Uranium Crystal Battle Body of the God of the Mortal Realm. This new martial art has little difference in the concentration of vital energy, but it has an extremely high demand for radiation energy.
Radiation is extremely deadly to living organisms, so it is best to place it on the lower level.
Rhine either had nothing better to do than travel back and forth between the upper and lower levels every day, or he simply didn't cultivate and stayed on the upper level all the time.
At this moment, the two had arrived at a corridor.
Two armored Steel Hand soldiers stood guard outside.
Upon seeing the two men approach, the two soldiers did not question them at all, and even took the initiative to use their terminals to open the door at the end of the corridor.
After the metal door opened, the floor was covered in cool tones, and the bookshelves against the wall were filled with books. A glance revealed titles in various languages.
On a sofa not far away, an open book lay casually, while its owner was mixing drinks at an indoor bar a few meters away.
Apart from that, I didn't see anyone else.
It appears that Rhine is under house arrest, otherwise there should be his followers nearby.
However, this "mascot" looked quite well, swaying around with a cocktail shaker, seemingly quite comfortable with its current situation.
Seeing the young officer enter, Rhein continued his work without pause, raised an eyebrow, and said with a faint smile, "What orders do my respected brothers have now, Captain Watson?"
As for Bai Ze, who followed the young officer in, Rhine should not be able to see him at this moment.
The young officer, called "Watson," showed no sign of surprise and spoke respectfully, "The Faceless One wishes to inquire whether Lord Rhine is satisfied with his room and if he has any other needs?"
"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it; that's the best way to put it in my current situation."
Rhine spoke a sentence in Dongxia language, and then said, "I am powerless to resist my brothers' arrangements, so I can only obey."
The room was nice, I was quite satisfied. As for any other needs that might have satisfied me, I doubt they would have been met, so I won't mention them.
"By the way, would you like a drink?"
Rhine took a wine glass and began to pour the wine.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I have other matters to attend to and will not stay any longer," Watson politely declined.
With that, he turned and left, leaving Bai Ze behind.
With the metal door closed, only Rhine and Bai Ze remained in the space.
"Looks like you won't get to enjoy this."
Rhein chuckled softly and made a move to pick up the glass of wine that had been poured.
At that moment, Dunliao reached out with his other hand and grabbed the wine glass first.
Bai Ze sat down at the bar and picked up the drink that Rhine had mixed.
"You one "6
Rhine's expression froze, a fleeting look of shock flashing in his eyes. A faint blue light shone on his body; it was the color of radiant energy.
But after that, he suppressed his surprise and regained his composure.
"An uninvited guest—that's an idiom I really dislike," Rhine said slowly.
He continued to use Dongxia idioms and proverbs as always, and his courage and boldness were no less than in the past, showing no signs of being diminished by his current situation.
Although a person of unknown origin suddenly appeared before her, Rhine was not intimidated, but immediately calmed herself down.
Bai Ze, holding his wine glass, remained silent, simply watching Rhine.
"Oh."
After a moment, he chuckled softly and said, "Unexpectedly, that's the idiom that best reflects my mindset. I miscalculated."
He set down his glass, met Rhine's gaze, and looked into the other's eyes at his current appearance. "In your eyes, am I a middle-aged Western Union man, or your old friend?"
"What do you mean?" Rhine took another glass and pulled a bottle of wine from under the bar.
"That means my illusions and cognitive manipulation techniques can't possibly fool you."
Bai Ze said, "Your aura, your habits, you are exactly the same as the Rhine I know. However, Rhine has no secrets from me."
"I can see through everything about him, sense his emotional fluctuations, and even read his consciousness. Even if I don't actively probe, as long as he has the slightest thought or wants to think of me, I will sense it."
Bai Ze did not sense any fluctuations in Rhine's thoughts.
Bai Ze could see through his current realm, sense the radiation energy within his body and the operation of the "Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique," and observe that his body was undergoing a continuous transformation.
Bai Ze could also sense his emotional fluctuations.
This is an inevitable consequence of the difference in levels of understanding.
For the Westerners, this might not be a simple matter, but for someone like Bai Ze, whose realm is so profound and whose divine will is so extraordinary, it is an easy instinct.
However, these are not enough to summarize Bai Ze's abilities.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, if one utters the name of Bai Ze, one will surely be moved by Bai Ze.
At close range, given Rhine's current level of cultivation, even if he didn't utter Bai Ze's name, Bai Ze could sense any thought related to the person in front of him.
This shouldn't be the ability of a ten-star martial artist, and even among those at the Heavenly Gate, very few can achieve it.
This ability, which defies common sense and is inconsistent with Bai Ze's realm, is unknown to others.
Even a god couldn't possibly know.
Therefore, Rhine revealed a weakness.
"You're very good at pretending, but you clearly don't know me well enough."
Bai Ze immediately removed his illusion and disguise, saying, "You are not Rhine."
Rhine raised an eyebrow slightly, the surprise on his face vanished like a bubble, and his previously feigned composure became completely natural.
He pulled the cork out of the bottle with his bare hand, poured himself a glass of wine, and said leisurely, "Then tell me, who am I?"
"There aren't many people in Western Union who can do this, but they're not the only ones."
Bai Ze looked at the other party, his gaze sharpening, "But there should only be one person who dares to possess Rhine."
The person before him was Rhine, but his consciousness was not Rhine's.
That was another being, one that dared to seize the body of the god's successor in the human realm.
Even a general, who would dare to seize power from the Western Union at this critical juncture, would absolutely not dare to cross the bottom line of the gods on earth.
The gods of the mortal realm will eventually return.
The general seized power, forced his brothers to align themselves with the Nine Gods, but he still acted with discretion and dared not truly offend the gods of the mortal realm.
Possessing Rhine's body would be to cross the line of the gods among mortals.
The only exception is God himself.
"You are a god among men," Bai Ze said, almost emphasizing each word.
He never expected that his act of raiding a house would lead to such a big surprise.
I only intended to surprise my old friend, but I ended up with a shock instead.
However, the other party is probably in a similar situation.
He never imagined that someone would dare to come and raid his base, and even discover his secrets.
Rhine hadn't shown himself and had been staying inside the base, but he was still discovered.
"Pa pa pa one"
Rhine clapped his hands and exclaimed, "The title of the number one genius in Dongxia is well-deserved!"
"So, you really are a god among men?" Bai Ze stared intently at the other person.
"I am Neos, the god of the mortal realm you speak of."
Rhine, holding his wine glass, said unhurriedly, "But I am also Rhine, the successor of the god among men. All my clones have my personality data stored within their genes. As long as their genes and bodies are identical to mine, the personality data will be released and overwritten with their consciousness."
"This consistency, is it the training of a uranium crystal battle body?" Bai Ze asked.
"That's right."
Rhine didn't mince words, saying, "But unfortunately, my dear sons either couldn't train to become uranium crystal warriors, or they could but went against their elders' wishes. In the end, only my youngest child became me."
Putting aside others, the general is the most likely candidate to develop a uranium crystal combat body.
If we've already mastered the vacuum zero-energy furnace, which is even more impossible to replicate than the uranium crystal battle body and is unlikely to be reproduced in the future, how could we not be able to create a uranium crystal battle body?
Although the general is immoral, his talent and abilities are definitely not lacking.
He is also hailed as the son of a god most like a human being.
Just as I thought.
Bai Ze did not doubt the answer he received; instead, he felt that it was the right thing to do.
Why would a god on earth clone himself?
Based on Bai Ze's understanding of the powerful figures of the time, and judging from their morals, they certainly wouldn't be doing this just to have grandchildren.
He was surprised to find that Rhine had become someone else, but Bai Ze also felt that it was not unexpected that a god among mortals would do such a thing.
The only problem now is probably how Bai Ze will deal with this "Rhine".
