Chapter 502: Chapter 500: The Spirit of Man

"You!" Leona was completely shocked.

She had not expected Wei Tianyang to suddenly appear in her room, and at that moment, she was still in her pajamas.

"Let’s talk about our collaboration now," Wei Tianyang said.

Leona quickly ran to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and took out a handgun.

"Why so panicked?" Wei Tianyang smiled.

"Wei... please leave," Leona said as she held the gun, but did not point it at Wei Tianyang.

"Why? Do we have to be in suits in an office to discuss business matters?" Wei Tianyang showed no signs of leaving.

Leona then pressed the gun against her own temple and said, "Please leave! Otherwise... I will..."

Wei Tianyang tilted his head.

Suddenly, Leona felt the handgun becoming exceptionally heavy. Not only that, but her legs and arms also refused to obey her, as if her body had turned into a plaster statue.

Wei Tianyang extended his hand toward Leona, and she floated up like a balloon, slowly rising off the ground and drifting toward him.

The moment he grasped her neck, Wei Tianyang also invaded her memories. Her life of over fifty years unraveled like a binge-watched television series, with Wei Tianyang freely browsing through it.

This woman was born into a political dynasty. Her family was an established political powerhouse in Prussia; her father had been a former Prime Minister of Prussia, and her mother had also served as Secretary of State. Leona was the product of a political union between her parents’ two powerful families.

From birth, her life had been meticulously arranged. Throughout her life, she had minimal contact with the working class. Those who conversed with her were either political group leaders or influential party politicians. Her closest encounters with the "working class" were her driver and her household staff.

Wei Tianyang couldn’t help but compare her to Ruan Yu. In terms of academic qualifications, Ruan Yu might have surpassed Leona, but the latter clearly walked on a golden path that bypassed all obstacles—bridges were built over trenches, and ladders were set up on slopes for her.

After all, not many twenty-somethings had the opportunity to dine with the sitting Secretary of State or to engage in lighthearted conversations in skyscrapers with political stars.

To say she was born with a silver spoon would be an understatement—Leona was literally wrapped in a gold wrapper at birth.

After graduating from university, it was natural for her to enter a career in politics. Surrounded by acquaintances, no matter what she did or how she did it, she received abundant applause and robust support that propelled her to become the youngest ever female Prime Minister of Prussia.

Years had passed, and now she was no longer as young as when she first met Wei Tianyang, but she was not too old either.

Compared to Steijie and Helena Mina, Leona did not wholly fit the mold of a seasoned political manipulator; she possessed her own brand of idealism.

This was why she chose to join Spencer’s civic organization after retiring from office.

However, this kind of idealism sometimes drove people to fanaticism and madness, as shown during her interactions with Johnny while in office.

Humanity needs divine guidance, hence, she hoped Wei Tianyang would become a deity.

Humankind’s Dawn existed for that very purpose, pinning their hopes on using the Heavenly Falling Objects to alter human genetics and create their own deity.

However, as a deity was bound to descend upon the earth eventually, Spencer believed that guiding Wei Tianyang was more pragmatic than creating a new god.

Thus, Humankind’s Dawn was split, with Spencer leading his interconnected human initiative foundation into action.

But, the emergence of Lilith caused Spencer to rethink his ideas; he couldn’t accept an outcome where a deity would transform all people into their kin.

Leona understood Spencer’s concerns and she, too, could not accept such an outcome...

The clan members were husks deprived of their own will, not led but possessed and usurped, essentially murdered.

Wei Tianyang dropped Leona and said, "I see your purpose and worries."

Leona looked at him, her expression tense. Once she realized she could move, she quickly crawled to the bedside table, from which she took out an injection and a wristwatch.

Wei Tianyang just watched her struggling there.

First, Leona injected herself with some drug, then she put on the wrist strap, anxiously watching the data on the small screen.

Clearly, she was worried that she had already been transformed into a clan member. In other words, in her eyes, she was no different from aliens like Lilith.

For some reason, being treated as an outsider infuriated him. Wei Tianyang stepped forward, looked down at Leona from above, and demanded, "I only touched you for a moment."

"You’re not the god we wanted... Wei Tianyang, you’re not the one we hoped for..." Leona said.

"What did you see? In the future?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Leona struggled to speak at first, realizing that Wei Tianyang might have uncovered some Foundation secrets through some means, but she wasn’t sure.

Wei Tianyang added, "Does Ezekiel see the future? I want... to meet her."

Leona finally confirmed that Wei Tianyang had acquired some abilities enabling him to see through others’ memories. But how did he do it? And why could he suddenly appear in her home? Leona’s mind raced.

"You’re guessing how my abilities work? Thinking about that is pointless," Wei Tianyang said.

"You’re truly dangerous... you’re a dangerous being..." Leona said in horror.

She realized that Wei Tianyang was nearing omniscience and omnipotence, able to see through everyone’s thoughts! And he could absorb superpowers... If Ezekiel was absorbed by him, the world wouldn’t be safe...

"Isn’t this the power a god should have? You yearn for a god; I am standing right here, but you fear being seen through by a god, isn’t that contradictory?" Wei Tianyang said.

"We need a leader, not you!" Leona said.

"Why can’t I be the leader? Why do you deny me? Give me a reason," Wei Tianyang demanded.

"Because... because you’re not a human god, you’ve become one of them," Leona said.

A tide of anger surged in his heart; his heart felt as if it were burned by fierce fire. A human god?

A god transcends humanity, which is why they are called gods. You can’t demand a god to act according to human whims. God exists objectively, not conforming to human fancies, isn’t that normal?

When Wei Tianyang came to his senses, the room was a complete mess.

Leona’s leg, smeared with blood, lay on the bed.

The walls were smeared with blood; the blood on the floor pooled at his feet.

Leona’s torso was leaning against the door, a gun in her hand, a section of her spine protruding from the cut in her lower body.

Some of her other organs, along with her lower half, hung on the back of the sofa.

Her head...

Wei Tianyang looked around the room but couldn’t find her head. Then, he felt something grasped in his right hand. Looking down, he saw Leona’s head impaled by his Bone Knife from the crown down through the neck cut, her face twisted in agony.

He sat on the sofa, placing the head beside him, touched the sticky blood on his face, took a deep breath, and crossed his hands, falling into silence.
