Chapter 612: Power
"Which lunatic broadcasted across the entire map, disturbing my sleep..." At this very moment, Comrade Long Tianxiang, at the center of the incident, was still resting in his palace-level mansion, sprawled across a custom-made, super-large bed, ten meters by ten meters.
Around him, like stars revolving around the moon, lay over a dozen women sprawled haphazardly, their two or three dozen legs, adorned with white, black, gray, flesh-toned, and mesh-patterned stockings, forming the most beautiful sight under the dim lights.
Similarly strewn haphazardly across the floor was a pile of wine bottles. The bottles bore few labels, but if anyone from the Spirit Wine Bureau were to see them, their jaw would surely drop in astonishment.
Every bottle of wine on that floor was Spirit Wine that could truly extend a common person's lifespan, not the fake goods that needed daily advertising.
...
Almost every free evening, Long Tianxiang would organize such an unrestrained revelry akin to a wine pool and meat forest.
But unfortunately, despite constant nocturnal exertions, as a six-stage transcender, he still had only one son, Long Chengwu.
There seemed to be some subtle, unseen restriction that made it harder for more powerful beings to procreate, achieving a relative balance.
...
Drinking the strongest wine, bedding the most beautiful women, inflicting the most agonizing fates upon enemies, and letting his good friends ascend along with him, even their chickens and dogs—these were all natural human inclinations. Once one possessed power, it was only right to indulge in them to the fullest, without any reservations.
He consistently believed that he was a human being, a living, breathing person. No matter how high and mighty he became, he was still human, not some emotionless and detached god.
The gods in Greek mythology, acting as they pleased, clearly distinguishing between love and hate, were in his mind the proper demeanor for a transcender.
Thus, all his relatives and subordinates who followed him had prospered, securing various lucrative positions, while those who had offended him lived lives worse than death.
Long Tianxiang changed through a dozen beauties on his bed every day to increase his chances of procreating.
Anyway, the women wanting to climb into his bed were countless; each was betting they could bear him a son or daughter. And with his personality, if a woman truly managed to give birth to a son, even if his talent in cultivation couldn't compare to a pig's, he would still stack her with spirit materials until she reached her limits.
...
Long Chengwu, having grown up immersed in this environment, naturally and easily inherited his father's stud nature. Showered with boundless favor, he was naturally indulgent, extravagant, and licentious to the fullest.
Over the past ten or twenty years, countless people had been offended or defrauded by him, and Liu Wu was precisely one of those victims.
However, with his father suppressing everything, no one had been able to cause a stir all these years.
...
"Great Master, your subordinate reports that a blasphemous ruffian has broken into the Omniverse Gravity Building, threatening you and your noble bloodline."
Outside the master bedroom of the mansion, a man in butler's attire was slightly bent at the waist, awaiting Long Tianxiang's reply.
What the master preferred, the servants would provide. Long Tianxiang enjoyed flattery, and the servants in his household spared no effort in adding various honorifics and making their etiquette excessively elaborate, striving to satisfy his vanity as much as possible, even if these words sounded utterly ridiculous.
"Alright, I know. Have Cheng'er come to me."
"Your command shall be executed."
"Great Master, this is a message from the intelligence department, all information regarding that ruffian."
Just as the butler was about to leave, he suddenly received such a document in the communication network, so he hurriedly transmitted it to Long Tianxiang's account.
Then he bowed slightly and departed with small, quick steps.
...
"Chengwu, how do you want to deal with this trash?" In his tone, Long Tianxiang evidently didn't regard Liu Wu as a human. As for the fact that his own son was the culprit, he couldn't even be bothered to think about it.
Anyway, the enemy just needed to die, it didn't matter whether they were in the right or in the wrong.
Wasn't powerful strength precisely for the purpose of favoring kin over reason in any situation?
To Long Tianxiang, partiality towards kin was human nature. He believed that often, the only reason people didn't act this way was because they lacked the power to be partial.
But for someone like him, whose power was sufficient to override most laws, why bother following the law?
...
"The trouble I caused, I'll handle it myself."
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, Dad will always be your strongest backing."
Long Chengwu directly took responsibility for the matter. Of course, after learning that the opponent possessed six-tier power that had been temporarily boosted, he also obtained quite a few good things from Long Tianxiang.
...
"The balance between six-tier powerhouses cannot be broken in this manner..." The Black Knight, whose true body was a thousand miles away, slowly emerged from his place of secluded cultivation.
He, too, had countless disciples and followers. Liu Wu's attempt to make the Moon collide with Mars undoubtedly greatly threatened everyone's interests.
"Purple power... Who exactly is challenging our rules of the game?" At this moment, the most troubled, was none other than Chen Bo, the current rotating speaker of the Presiding Council.
Every newly advanced six-tier powerhouse on the Moon would voluntarily or involuntarily sign a Luminous Holy Covenant, promising to avoid large-scale harm to civilian lives as much as possible, and, unless absolutely necessary for survival, not to engage in combat on the Moon's surface.
Six-tier ground-artillery level monsters, once a major battle broke out in near-space, it would cause immense damage to the surrounding life and environment. A single legendary spell from a legendary mage could silence half a city like a nuclear bomb.
With limited resources and a small population, and only the Moon as their abode, the Human Federation simply couldn't endure such turmoil. Mobile humanoid catastrophes had to be restricted.
"The only one on the Moon who hadn't signed should be him, but he also had no reason to orchestrate the destruction of the Omniverse Gravity Device..."
The "he" Chen Bo spoke of was precisely Bai Mo. Tens of thousands of Bai-ologists, after over a decade of effort, had secretly developed several anti-Bai Mo radars that could, with some probability, detect which person was his avatar.
Using these crude machines, the Federation's upper echelons had indeed collected a list of key suspects. If they truly wanted to contact Bai Mo and confirm the accuracy of their suspicions, it wasn't impossible.
"Hehehe," Edward Teach, with a sinister grin on his face, took over Chen Bo's words. He evidently knew that Bai Mo had an avatar on Mars.
"But is it possible that Mars was behind this?" Before leaving, Edward Teach left a question hanging.
"How could those primitives on Mars possibly know the value of the Omniverse Gravity Device..."
The Moon's side, from top to bottom, still regarded Martians as an ordinary ancient civilization. For a race that hadn't even discovered the concept of universal gravitation, was it a joke for them to understand the importance of the Omniverse Gravity Device?
"As for Edward Teach, the disgusting stench emanating from him seemed to grow stronger by the day."
The thin layer of black mist shrouding Edward Teach's body made Chen Bo instinctively feel a deep unease in his heart. He always felt that it wasn't anything good.
