Xyrin Empire
Chapter 325 - Chapter 325 325 cards You guys are toys

Chapter 325: 325 cards You guys are toys Chapter 325: 325 cards You guys are toys Olympus’ special envoy team was utterly defeated within China’s borders, and they were sent packing in a particularly humiliating fashion. Such an incident quickly stirred up considerable turmoil in the entire Dark World.

The arrival of Olympus was accompanied by a strong show-off complex. They first arrogantly threatened a medium-sized organization that had some reputation in the Dark World, then they smashed that group with a thunderous might, and after that, they obliterated several other organizations in conflicts, dominating with absolute superiority. They then released a bullish proclamation that “a new era is coming,” presenting themselves as the ultimate antagonist from the get-go. This powerful entrance instantly intimidated almost all their opponents. Because of ignorance about this new looming threat, everyone was walking on eggshells. However, at this moment, another organization emerged in a different fashion: Boundless Love–a quirky studio that recruited business by spreading illegal pop-ups on the internet. Despite their strong manifesto, everyone knew they spent most of their time helping old ladies find their cats, playing matchmaker for heartbroken men and women, and dragging crazed parents’ kids out of internet cafes… It was hard to associate this organization with the word “powerful.”

Yet, it was this very organization that in a clash with Olympus’ vanguard, annihilated them completely, and in such a humiliating manner no less, as they were shipped back to customs stuffed into crates alongside pirated DVD discs…

It was as if Kil’Jaeden, the toilet, had suddenly emerged early from the Sun Well and effortlessly knocked down the main tank and the healers, only to be abruptly flushed away by a sound of gushing water. At such a moment, those embarking on the raid would either be cursing the GM or sitting in front of their computers with their jaws dropped.

Hence, jaws were dropping internationally–of course, by “internationally” I’m referring to the international community of the Dark World. We were very fortunate to punch down that mouthpiece before Olympus could declare “I am God” to all of humankind. For now, everything that happened was still controlled outside the lives of ordinary people.

Organizations in the Dark World were slow to react, and it seemed so was Olympus. Or to put it another way, these big shots never anticipated hitting a snag so easily. That’s when we released the news: An Olympus mid-level officer was captured in China during the battle, and the noble public service organization “Boundless Love” announced its responsibility for the event.

Thus, the peculiarly amusing name “Boundless Love” once again became the center of attention in the Dark World, but this was only the beginning. Since we decided to give Olympus a “surprise,” naturally I had my ace up the sleeve.

“Brother Chen, it’s all set,”

Lin Feng said, walking up behind me.

I nodded, then turned my gaze to the distance–there, one could only see a small town hidden in the jungle.

Our current location was atop a cliff on a mountain, surrounded by intertwined boulders and a ground covered in dry grass. Looking around, the mountains were adorned with snow, and the pale sky above was clean as if licked clean by Sandora–a plate, that is. Okay, I admit that’s not a very appropriate metaphor–and below us lay a vast jungle encircled by mountains.

You must have noticed that the climate here doesn’t quite resemble mid-autumn in China’s K city.

This godforsaken place is deep within the Andes Mountains. According to Pandora’s precise measurements, if I walk three meters to the left, I would be standing right on Earth’s waistband–quite a twist, isn’t it?

Lin Feng and I had to be here entirely because we were carrying out our plan titled “Olympus Self-Esteem Trampling Campaign,” a name so cringeworthy that I don’t need to explain who came up with it.

Hidden within that jungle in front of me was an Olympus sub-base, which was also that unspectacular-looking small town. In fact, the whole town was just a facade, its inhabitants from top to bottom nothing more than fanatical supporters brainwashed by Olympus. This town, which never interacted with outsiders, existed solely to cover up the underground base beneath it. Olympus had found a relatively intact relic of Xyrin in this place extremely close to the equator. Now, judging from the subterranean scale revealed by the Energy Radar, I initially guessed it might be a… Well, the remains of a Xyrin base. I must say, the Xyrin forebears of old were indeed full of vitality; the locations of several sub-bases disclosed by Medusa neatly covered every climatic zone of the entire Earth, from the equator to the poles. And these sub-bases were built close to the Xyrin relics excavated below them. I dare not imagine what Earth looked like tens of thousands of years ago–could it really have been a colonization star for our Great Empire?

However, the way Olympus built their bases was also quite convenient for us. Due to their damn religious zealotry, Olympus believed that “God’s relics” were sacred and inviolable. They even thought that it was wrong to destroy any part of the relics for research purposes. This meant they wouldn’t dare remove anything from the relics to study, so their bases would definitely not be more than a kilometer away from the nearby Xyrin relics. Therefore, once we found an Olympus base, it actually meant we’d found an ancient Xyrin relic–it was like killing two birds with one stone. If we had to do it ourselves, even with advanced detection equipment, scanning the entire Earth without alarming the average human would have required a huge effort.

And now, Lin Feng and I were preparing to destroy this base. In reality, I could have handled it by myself, but that kid Lin Feng insisted on coming to witness the “great power of Xyrin.” Lin Xue, following the principle that causing me trouble was a good thing, forced me to take her useless little brother along to gain some experience, and that’s how we ended up in this situation.

There were still about ten minutes left until the agreed time. If I had a beauty by my side, those ten minutes would pass very comfortably, but if it was a burly man, I could only stand on the cliff and idly let the highland wind blow over me…

“Brother Chen, it should be about time,” Lin Feng said after a few minutes of dull waiting on the cliff, checking his watch behind me.

I turned around and replied with a hint of uncertainty, “So soon? We’re near the Andes Mountains, so the air pressure is quite low, and the temperature shouldn’t be enough.”

Lin Feng gave a slight smile: “Did Brother Chen forget my ability? Air is practically my best buddy; with a little alteration to my superpower, I can do many convenient things.”

I had an epiphany: “How could I not have thought of that?” Then, joyfully, I instructed my convenient, makeshift assistant, “Bring it over to me, please.”

Lin Feng immediately jogged back to our temporary encampment behind us and brought the item to me; I took it and took a deep breath, my face showing a satisfied smile.

“Truth be told, when it comes to instant noodles, Master Kong is the best. The old brands are just unmatched, slurp, slurp…”

“I’m still used to Sixth District, but my sister likes Master Kong’s… slurp, slurp…”

On the desolate and windy Andes Mountains, two tragic men incapable of cooking anything but instant noodles slurped their one-dollar-and-fifty-cent packs of noodles in the wind. Who could have imagined that an Olympus base was about to be destroyed by such people?

I truly regretted not bringing Anwina, the all-purpose maid, with me–had she been here, she probably could have whipped up a feast from some random weeds, but instead, Lin Feng and I were standing in the whooshing cold wind, expressionlessly slurping half-cooked noodles–although Lin Feng had managed to boil the water, we clearly hadn’t anticipated the cooling rate of boiling water in this place…

“Brother Chen, they should be coming over now.”

After contently slurping the last drop of noodle soup, Lin Feng wiped his mouth and said.

I believed Lin Feng’s words, even though the distance was so great, the means of the Superpower Organization could never be measured by common sense, and with Olympus’s caution, two strangers continually observing oneself from nearby cliffs had no reason not to attract their attention. I put my hand above my eyes to shade them from the sun and peered into the distance–I saw nothing.

This was the difference between professionals and amateurs—spotting a few small moving targets in a vast expanse of dense forest was simply impossible with my vision.

I took out my phone, checked the time, and then began to concentrate.

Lin Feng also knew that a spectacular scene was about to unfold, and he hurriedly quieted down, eagerly waiting to witness the extent of power that the city-destroying strike would possess.

Our goal was to establish dominance, to plunge Olympus into complete chaos with a series of exterminating strikes, so I planned to carry out the attack in the most magnificent way possible. Super Space artillery fire, though powerful, was wiped out by a streak of white light and still was not really able to instill a tangible sense of panic in people. In contrast, natural disasters could more easily evoke a primal awe in humans.

I closed my eyes and earnestly felt the energy flow in the space around me. My mutated spiritual power gradually penetrated deep into the Earth. Compared to a cross-temporal psychic connection, such a trial was more difficult in terms of precision even with the reduced consumption, but that was not a problem. Soon, in the vision of my mind, a spherical space within several hundred kilometers formed an alternative three-dimensional map. It no longer marked the landmarks of the material world but rather the distribution of energy. A few kilometers in front of me there was a small energy junction, which was the hidden town amid the mountains, and beneath it was an even brighter energy cloud, vaguely forming a hexagonal spider web pattern. That should be the underground base established by Olympus, and beside this energy cloud, closely adjoining, was a prismatic dark zone, which must be the Xyrin Relics they had discovered. The presence of Ghost Energy Crystals there must have been obstructing the flow of energy around it, causing nothing but darkness to appear in my “vision.”

I concentrated my spiritual power on the hexagonal energy cloud and then probed downward. Gradually, the formidable energy of the planet itself hidden in the depths appeared in my perception.

What might sound like a lengthy process had only taken a second; to Lin Feng, it seemed as if I had just blinked my eyes, then I solemnly spread my arms, and in the bombastic manner of Jesus Christ preaching, I cried out loudly, “O sinful ones! The molten magma of the Abyss shall erupt from below!”

Look at how cool I am!!

Sure enough, a deep rumbling sound began to rise following my declaration, coming from underground.

Before our eyes, a little bit of commotion began stirring within the peaceful-looking town, and then thin wisps of smoke rose from every corner of the town. Accompanied by growing rumblings, the land of the town finally began to crack, revealing the scarlet glow beneath–the magma had erupted!

In the face of the strong pressure from deep underground, the fragile Earth’s crust decisively chose to compromise. The magma, at its extremely high temperature, initially seeped out slowly, but within seconds, it erupted like fountains from every fissure above ground. The tranquil town shook, flames burst forth everywhere, and gradually, it was reduced to faint wisps of smoke amidst the magma.

That was just the surface. Below ground, the deeply buried base was destroyed even more completely and quickly.

A minute later, all that was left before us was a crimson Magma Lake–and a forest fire that was gradually starting to blaze.

But I was not worried about the fire lasting long. First, the forest in the valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, would not affect the outside even if it burned down; second, I had already given Dingdang a heads-up. Though the Little One could not directly intervene in human conflicts, if it were done under the guise of protecting the environment, she would have room to act–speaking of which, I had never seen anyone as eager as Dingdang to exploit her own loopholes, first helping Lilina to get an ID card, and now skirting the “Gods do not meddle in the world” prohibition to help me clean up the mess. Was this creature truly transformed into a domesticated being by lollipops?

“Let’s go, nothing to see here.”

As the illusionary forest fire before us flickered out in an instant, I waved my hand in front of Lin Feng and said.

Lin Feng creaked his neck around and said just one sentence, “Brother Chen, you’re not about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight, are you?”

I smacked the back of the kid’s head with a slap, “Nonsense, are you trying to make me transcend through tribulation or what!?”

And at the same time, as Olympus’s base was being destroyed, Bubbles who was staying at home began to act. She effortlessly took over the entire Earth’s communication networks and then–using this network–successfully infiltrated Olympus’s internal computer system. She left this message on their server: Considering that a member of your organization was shouting loudly in public and did not comply with the requirements for shoe shining, we have decided to destroy one of your bases as a minor punishment–“Boundless Love” Culture Department announcement.

This was also thanks to the intelligence leak from Medusa. Without it, even if Bubbles could take over all of humanity’s information systems, she might not have been able to find Olympus’s network entrance. It wasn’t just a technical issue but about dealing with human cunningness. Although Medusa was just a mid-level leader of Olympus, all we needed was a breakthrough. The bit of information she carelessly leaked to us could be amplified into a fatal breach by a group of tough Xyrin experts.

But one could guess that at first, the guys from Olympus wouldn’t believe such a strange message and would have attributed the destruction of the base to an accident. Despite many contradictions, this explanation was easier to accept than being targeted by an organization capable of artificially creating catastrophes. Plus, if they checked the timelines closely, the people from Olympus would realize that the warning was sent a few minutes after the base’s destruction, which gave them a bit of space to delude themselves…

But all of that was just the beginning. Three days later, another statement was placed on every organization leader’s desk, including the madmen of Olympus, in the same annoyingly profound manner: Because the person in charge of your European zone has a beard that’s too long and did not rinse his mouth carefully when brushing his teeth, we have decided to destroy one of your bases located in the Pacific Ocean as a mild warning–“Boundless Love” Culture Department announcement.

One hour after this statement was issued, an island in the Pacific vanished into thin air, truly into thin air. When the people from Olympus followed the coordinates to that spot, all that was left was a vast expanse of ocean–not even the landform beneath the sea surface remained.

This time, we issued our statement before the attack.

Needless to say, the Space Twins made an indelible contribution to this earth-shattering heist. The island is still floating in the sky of Shadow City, sealed off by a huge energy barrier. Pandora suggested using it to test human starvation endurance–of course, I sternly forbade it.

After that, similar strikes began to unfold one after another, each starting with a declaration polished by Lilina that was so irritating, it would make your teeth itch. Like because the weather was too cold, or because the price of pancakes at the alley entrance went up, or because the “O” in Olympus had too many strokes, etc., for various reasons the “Boundless Love” bigwigs were slightly annoyed, leading to “we have decided to destroy one of your bases located at xxx, as a mild warning”–altogether in the tone of hoodlums saying, “I just don’t like your face, so I want to beat you up.” You have to admit, Lilina’s character is really nasty and twisted to the extreme. Even Lin Xue said it was beyond belief, yet Lilina still claimed she was being very kind…

All our actions sent out one message, directed at every one of Olympus’s members who thought they were above humans: You are nothing but our toys.

Of course, this process could be described in a more literary way: “Boundless Love” started bullying Olympus’s little buddies like a ruffian.

I really wanted to know what the expressions on the faces of the heads of Olympus were right now, but I was completely unable to put myself in their shoes. Perhaps not even the most unreliable fantasist could have imagined that “Boundless Love” would destroy, one by one, the power network of an ultimate anti-human organization in such a playful way. The combination of the reasons given and the methods taken were so incomprehensible, almost as if a naughty child was tormenting his toys. Such behavior was just too out of tune for a powerful Superpower Organization–who would have thought the leadership of “Boundless Love” were indeed a bunch of unruly folks?
