Chapter 688: Human Self Help Association

In the Xia calendar year 6158, there is a space station.

After years of renovation, the Space Station has been transformed into a space-based weapon launch platform, preparing for its first combat operation.

At this moment, most astronauts have evacuated the Space Station, leaving only two individuals who have chosen to stay as suicide fighters, expecting retaliation from the Yao tribe after their attack.

Nowadays, artificial intelligence is very advanced, but some necessary steps still need human intervention because the authorities don’t fully trust artificial intelligence.

"Adjusting position"

"Position adjusted"

"Checking ports"

"Port detection in progress…"

"Injecting energy"

"Energy injection countdown…"

The two people in the control room kept giving commands, and artificial intelligence would follow their instructions. Some steps would also involve the use of robots.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven…"

The countdown kept flashing until it reached zero, and as the two pressed the buttons simultaneously, the powerful laser weapons, which had been ready to fire, shot out on the space station. A majestic laser beam appeared and shot towards the planet in front of them.

The majority of the lights on the space station went out instantly because all the energy was used for the weapons. It would take the space station several days to replenish the energy, even with the transportation of supplies using a large number of storage bags.

The speed of light is fast, and in an instant, the laser accurately hit the middle of Ark Continent. The coordinates were pre-set using old map coordinates, so the current situation is not very clear.

"Boom"

The laser hit a mountain peak, instantly melting the towering mountain that was several kilometers high. Heat continued to radiate, and it seemed like the entire mountain was about to catch fire.

At the moment the laser arrived, the Demon Queen and other high-ranking demons sensed it and instinctively flew into the air to dodge. They then witnessed the scene before them, completely astonished.

"What is this…"

"Is this a new weapon from the human race?"

"Where did it come from?"

Many high-ranked demons felt inexplicably anxious because they didn’t know where the weapon came from. The Demon Queen looked up at the sky and already knew the origin of the weapon.

The laser didn’t last long, only about a minute, but a large mountain had completely melted, as if a volcano had erupted from underground.

As the laser disappeared, the Demon Queen vanished on the spot and then flew directly into space. However, when she appeared outside the demon cloud, she noticed over ten missiles following her, all of them hypersonic. The Demon Queen didn’t dare to confront them head-on, but tried her best to intercept them. As each missile was intercepted and exploded, the Demon Queen stopped flying upwards and instead hid back inside the demon cloud.

"Demon Queen, what’s happening…"

"The human’s attacks are coming from space. I dare not approach easily, afraid of ambush."

"Ah, Demon Queen, this…"

"Thicken the demon cloud, cut off all human aircraft reconnaissance. As long as humans don’t know where we are, they can’t attack us. Additionally, the position of the Demon God Temple must change frequently. We must find the opportunity to completely destroy the human’s spacecraft."

The Demon Queen said. The humans now have another means to threaten us. The Demon Queen felt frustrated as they had almost no way to threaten humans, while humans kept adding new methods. What should they do?

Shen Continent, Jiabang Empire

Muse went to a fancy hotel and entered a ballroom where many people were already gathered. Dressed nicely, Muse quickly joined the group and chatted happily with them.

Tonight was a very important dance party, attended by high-ranking officials from Jiabang Empire, wealthy groups, and important people from other countries in Shen Continent. The event was organized by a group called Human Self Help Association.

This organization was formed by leaders from Penglai Continent, Fangzhang Continent, and a few islands in the Endless Sea who were living in Shen Continent. Their goal was to unite humans and fight against monsters to reclaim their homeland.

The main activities of this organization were in the northern part of Shen Continent, where the five allied countries were located. While Alliance Three Countries were already fighting monsters, the allied five countries mostly fought monsters within their own borders and rarely faced the monsters directly in battle.

This was not ideal for them, as the allied five countries had the strength to send troops for expeditions. So, they kept persuading the leaders of these five countries to join the war effort.

"Muse, you’ve been doing great lately. I heard you might be elected as a councilor in the next council meeting."

Just as Muse finished talking with someone, a handsome man approached him and spoke.

"I’m just trying to do my part. Compared to you all, I’m way behind. It’s a shame I didn’t bring much money when I escaped, otherwise I could have set up some factories in Jiabang to provide jobs for our struggling compatriots."

Muse replied that after a few years, he had become a key person in the organization, in charge of coordinating the branches of various organizations in five countries. He was very capable himself, so he had done well in these years, and the top people in the organization had already noticed him.

"You are a kind-hearted person, Muse."

"No, I am an incompetent person. I should go to the battlefield, but unfortunately, I lack the courage."

Muse shook his head, always humble, which made several people unable to help but comfort him. Muse still won a lot of affection from them.

After a party ended, Muse returned to his residence, where over a dozen people were already waiting for him. The group, all spies sent by the demon clan from Fangzhang Continent, had the same identity as Muse, who led them.

"Muse, how is the situation today?"

"The five countries alliance is indeed considering sending cultivators to Fangzhang Continent for battle, in order to weaken the strength of the cultivators from the five countries alliance."

Muse said that after continuous persuasion from the organization, and with the situation developing, the five countries alliance were starting to consider sending cultivators to the battlefield for training.

This move would benefit the five countries alliance in two ways: it would enhance the combat strength of the cultivators and deepen cooperation with the Alliance Three Countries.

"Muse, how can we stop this?"

"Why do we need to stop it?"

"Muse, don’t forget our mission."

"I haven’t forgotten. Pushing this forward is exactly for our mission. Wars have always been the times of fastest social mobility. Only when a large number of common people in Shen Continent rise through military achievements, chaos can be created."

"The higher-ups won’t understand this tactic."

"Then you underestimate those higher-ups. Their intelligence is no worse than any other race. I have discussed with the Heavenly Fox Demon King many times. I will persuade him."

Muse said, the Heavenly Fox Demon King is his direct superior. In Fangzhang Continent, he had chatted with the Heavenly Fox Demon King hundreds of times and already knew the Heavenly Fox Demon King’s intelligence.

"Muse, I don’t oppose you doing this, but our target is the Alliance Three Countries, it is Huaxia. By doing this, are we not taking the long way round?"

"Going directly to Huaxia, we will follow in the footsteps of our predecessors immediately. Do you also want to disappear without a trace?"

"This…"

"If you don’t want to die, listen to me. I have a complete plan."

Muse said, the few people looked at each other, but didn’t say much. Muse was not only their superior but had also proved to be smarter than them. Since Muse said so, they decided to listen to him, as they had no other choice.
