    Chapter 313

    Su Hao and Yashan returned to the underground cavern where thousands of children hung suspended in midair. The Dual Suppression Field remained fully active, cutting off every possible escape route. Without hesitation, they tore open a massive hole in the ceiling, allowing sunlight to pour into the underground chamber and illuminate the peaceful faces of the countless children.

    Amid the shrill blare of alarms, the two jumped into the cavern.

    With a Black Crystal blade in hand, Su Hao immediately began eliminating every staff member inside, swiftly clearing the entire underground facility. Beside him, Yashan carried a camera on his shoulder, recording every action of the Resistance members.

    Blood qi flowed through Su Hao's body as he recorded the physical data of one child after another. During his examination, he noticed that each child was wrapped inside a delicate mesh. At every node of the mesh, transparent tubes extended into their bodies. One set continuously injected a colorless liquid, while another extracted a different fluid, creating a complete circulatory system.

    Following the tubes, Su Hao traced the flow of the liquid while simultaneously recording and analyzing every step.

    An hour later, he arrived at a sealed storage room.

    Inside were enormous quantities of the Balancer.

    Only then did Su Hao finally understand the true purpose of this underground production facility.

    This...

    Was where the Balancer was manufactured.

    And the raw materials...

    Were the children suspended before him.

    Between the ages of three and six, the human body entered a unique developmental stage. Under exposure to a specific force field during this period, the body secreted an unusually large amount of a particular hormone, stimulating its adaptation to the surrounding environment.

    That hormone...

    Was precisely the key that allowed Resistance members to survive teleportation between the main star and the secondary star.

    Su Hao realized he had been mistaken once again.

    The Resistance had never possessed some unparalleled genius who independently developed the Balancer.

    Instead, they were simply fortunate.

    Long ago, certain children had accidentally passed through this region during the critical stage of development. After being exposed to the force field, their bodies naturally produced the Balancer hormone. They unknowingly teleported to the secondary star, survived the journey, and eventually discovered the secret behind the substance.

    That accident...

    Had become the origin of the Resistance.

    "Many technological breakthroughs..." Su Hao murmured softly, "...as well as many human disasters, begin with a single accident."

    After a brief pause, he shook his head.

    "Although perhaps... what appears accidental is often inevitable."

    Seeing that Yashan had finished recording, Su Hao said, "Let's go. This matter ends here. Even if the Resistance hasn't been completely exterminated, they should remain quiet for the next several years."

    Yashan silently nodded.

    The two leaped out of the underground facility.

    Black Crystal surged outward, collapsing the entire cavern and burying everything beneath countless tons of earth and stone.

    Then they took to the sky and flew back toward their base near Huaiyuan Town.

    As for everything that followed...

    Su Hao wasn't concerned.

    The events in Paradise Town had already spread across the world while they were still happening.

    Videos...

    Photographs...

    Livestreams...

    Countless witnesses had uploaded everything to the internet.

    Cleaning up public opinion was something other people enjoyed doing.

    This incident would later become known worldwide as the Bloody Incident of Paradise Town, while its two perpetrators became infamous as the Butchers of Paradise.

    Tens of thousands had personally witnessed the massacre.

    Many recorded farewell videos, believing they would soon die.

    "When you see this video... I'll probably already be dead. Right now I'm experiencing a living hell..."

    Others possessed astonishingly optimistic personalities.

    Laughing into the camera, they said,

    "This trip to Paradise Town was absolutely worth it! I've seen things I'd never have imagined in my entire life!"

    The internet was instantly flooded with similar videos.

    The World Federation's Internet Department simply gave up trying to remove them.

    If people wanted to watch...

    Let them watch.

    What truly attracted the attention of governments around the world wasn't the massacre itself.

    Nor the number of casualties.

    Those were already facts.

    Experienced politicians always focused on the future rather than mourning the past.

    What truly worried them was something else.

    If those two armored figures possessed such overwhelming power...

    Would they one day point their blades toward the governments themselves?

    Fortunately for them...

    Public attention focused elsewhere.

    Most ordinary people simply treated the event as shocking entertainment, leaving sarcastic comments online and arguing endlessly.

    The internet quickly descended into complete chaos.

    Meanwhile...

    Chen Chufeng sat across from Chen Qingsheng inside his office.

    In his hands was a printed booklet.

    It contained only a small portion of The Path of the Warrior that Su Hao had previously provided.

    After reading for a long while, Chen Chufeng sighed.

    "We're old."

    "It's too late for us to cultivate this Path of the Warrior."

    Chen Qingsheng also sighed with regret.

    "Extraordinary power is so close..."

    "...yet so far away."

    "If only we'd obtained this forty years earlier..."

    Chen Chufeng quickly smiled.

    "If it had been forty years earlier..."

    "We probably wouldn't even have had the chance to read it."

    Chen Qingsheng nodded.

    "That's true."

    After a brief silence, he asked,

    "Clan Leader..."

    "Do you think those two Butchers could actually be Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi?"

    Chen Chufeng slowly shook his head.

    "Whether they are or not isn't important."

    "As long as we maintain a good relationship with Bai Jingzhong, that's enough."

    "Don't investigate further."

    "At least not until we fully understand what kind of people they are."

    "Curiosity can get you killed."

    Deep inside, Chen Chufeng had already reached a conclusion.

    Judging solely from the strength demonstrated by those two armored figures...

    Their organization might still be capable of eliminating them.

    But the price...

    Would be catastrophic.

    Any significant loss of strength would immediately invite countless enemies to seize the opportunity.

    They simply couldn't afford such a risk.

    What troubled him even more was another issue.

    The Mental Suppression Field was still under development within their organization.

    Yet someone else had already succeeded in deploying the technology on such a massive scale.

    A hidden organization...

    Could one really exist somewhere in this world?

    Checking the time, Chen Chufeng stood.

    "The meeting is about to begin."

    "If Bai Jingzhong contacts us again..."

    "Inform me immediately."

    Chen Qingsheng nodded.

    "Understood."


    ---

    An emergency meeting was being held within the Summoner Association.

    Nine of the ten council members were present.

    Someone looked around and asked,

    "Where's Sister Jiang?"

    "Why isn't she here?"

    Another person laughed.

    "She's giving birth to her fourth child."

    "Still in the maternity center."

    The room erupted into laughter.

    "Our big sister really loves having children."

    The atmosphere soon became serious again as discussion shifted to the Paradise Town incident.

    Suddenly, Councilor Cao spoke.

    "Have any of you noticed something?"

    "I deliberately investigated the identities of the victims."

    "Almost every Resistance member our Association had on record..."

    "...died during the Paradise Town massacre."

    The room instantly fell silent.

    Everyone exchanged uneasy glances.

    Almost simultaneously...

    A single figure appeared in their minds.

    A man dressed in black.

    Wearing a hood.

    A mask.

    The infamous Resistance Butcher.

    Councilor Wang then said,

    "What concerns me more is that Black Crystal Armor."

    "Could it be some secret battle armor developed by the Management Office?"

    "Humans shouldn't be capable of possessing such terrifying strength."

    The Management Office immediately declared—

    Not our responsibility.


    ---

    Three days later...

    Yashan finished editing all the footage he had recorded.

    He uploaded the completed documentary onto the official Resistance Butcher account.

    This time...

    He didn't wear a black robe or a hood.

    Instead, he appeared directly in his Black Crystal Armor.

    Looking straight into the camera, he spoke calmly.

    "Greetings..."

    "...to every lovable, hateful, and kind person in this world."

    "I am Resistance Butcher No. 000."

    He slowly raised his fist.

    "As many of you have already guessed..."

    "The Bloody Incident of Paradise Town..."

    "...was carried out by the Resistance Butcher organization."

    "And every single person we executed..."

    "...was a member of the Resistance."

    The video then shifted into documentary format.

    Yashan explained the crimes committed by the Resistance while playing the footage recorded underground.

    Every child...

    Every record...

    Every piece of evidence...

    Was displayed before the entire world.

    Finally, he looked into the camera once more.

    "We discovered one underground factory."

    "But I believe there are many more hidden throughout the world."

    "As Resistance Butcher No. 000..."

    "I will find every single one."

    "And destroy them."

    "So..."

    "To every Resistance member still hiding out there..."

    "Tremble."

    "Hehehe..."

    The moment the video was released...

    The entire world erupted.

    People had always known the Resistance committed terrible crimes.

    But no one had imagined the truth would be this horrifying.

    Public opinion shifted almost overnight.

    Support for the Resistance Butcher spread across the globe.

    The Resistance became the target of universal condemnation.

    Those who still criticized the Butchers found their comments instantly buried beneath an overwhelming wave of angry replies.

    Soon afterward, furious citizens began directing their anger toward the World Federation itself, accusing it of allowing the Resistance to flourish unchecked.

    Some radicals even organized protests and smashed World Federation signboards.

    The World Federation could only respond helplessly.

    "If you're going to smash signs..."

    "Why only ours?"

    "Why not smash the Summoner Association's as well?"

    "This isn't fair!"


    ---

    From that day onward...

    The Resistance Butcher organization became a symbol of justice.

    Countless people across the world began calling themselves Resistance Butcher No. XXX.

    Some even fought each other over duplicate numbers.

    Several large brawls broke out simply because two people claimed the same title.

    In other words...

    As long as Yashan nodded...

    Anyone in the world who wished to fight the Resistance could immediately become another numbered Resistance Butcher.

    After everything settled down...

    Su Hao and Yashan quietly returned to their base near Huaiyuan Town.

    Once again, they immersed themselves completely in research...

    And study.

    Is she qi?

      Yeah ngl it was pretty early after the various organisations were introduced that I just assumed this summoner org would likely tie into the resistance somehow, likely with overlapping higher management and/ or secretly being allies of some kind. I can't remember the specifics but the reason I assumed so was due to the dude from the summoner org that tried recruiting us being kinda shady and the summoner org and resistance seemed like they'd be able to gain more if they worked together rather than fighting each other. Also I think at some point it was mentioned that the summoner org was meant to be trying to combat the resistance but although they should've had the means to they still couldn't for some reason.
