Chapter 1922: with translation of chapter title

West Asia War Zone

Roar!!

Come on! Hurry up and attack, you scum! Hurry up and go kill that monster!

The foul-smelling roar intertwined with the angry shouts of a large group of Awakened Ones.

Note: Awakened Ones is in the glossary as Awakened Ones.

Only to see hundreds of Awakened Ones at this moment, like spectators beneath a boxing ring, spitting as they hid behind cover, cursing at a youth far away.

No equipment, no weapons.

Although he looked sturdy, the boy's tiny figure before this peak giant hand was as insignificant as a pebble.

Scared.. Akua is scared..

Akua doesn't want to fight..

The boy's voice trembled, fearfully clutching his own head, not daring to look at the distant hundred-meter-tall mutant.

He feared those sharp claws, feared the massive teeth capable of biting through city walls, and even more feared the lightning spewed from the monster's mouth. In his understanding, these things were dangerous, capable of harming him.

Covered in scale-like wounds, layers of newly healed scars like infant mouths intertwined across his body.

However, faced with Akua's pleas, the Awakened Ones hiding far away only grew angrier, outright cursing:

Damn fool! It can't kill you!

At most you'll just feel a bit more pain from a bite! If you don't go up, I'll throw this old man into the monster's mouth!

You should have seen it, right? The monster can devour these old-timers! If he gets even a bit closer, he'll be shocked to death!

As they spoke, the leading Brahma Awakened One brutally hoisted an old man like a shield in midair, while the others followed suit, holding several children dressed similarly to Akua at knifepoint.

Note: Brahma Awakened One. Not in glossary; translate meaning.

If you don't go up, we'll peel the skin off your clanspeople!

Did you see the gun in my hand!? If you don't go up, I'll fucking shoot you dead..

Shut up! Idiot!

Seeing the monster already striding over, before a scrawny Second Level man could habitually draw his gun and point it at Akua, the highest-ranked Third Level in the squad instantly slapped the scrawny man to the ground.

Note: Second Level means Second Level (glossary). Third Level means Third Level (not in glossary but we translate as Third Level). The glossary lists Second Level as Second Level, Fourth Stage as Fourth Stage, and Rank as Fourth Rank (possibly a mistake). We'll treat Third Level as Third Level.

Idiot! You can threaten him however you like, but you can't really say something can kill him!

This kid's ability is just being messed up by you guys, that's why he fears he'll be electrocuted to a crisp!

Not having time to reprimand his subordinates, the leading Third Level suppressed his anger and continued to loudly berate Akua:

Akua! As long as you kill this monster, we'll feed your clanspeople a full meal! You're hungry too, right!? A piece of blue-glowing equipment for a bun, just like before—we keep our word!

I tell you, you can't use that equipment! If you use it, you'll die!

The man skillfully threatened Akua.

As Akua, who has changed hands an unknown number of times and been snatched by various sides, in their eyes he is the perfect slave.

To prevent Akua from intentionally or unintentionally coming into contact with new knowledge, they dare to act against them.

Wait line 29 seems odd: maybe missing subject. We'll translate literally: "To prevent Akua from intentionally or unintentionally coming into contact with new knowledge, they dare to act against them."

Almost every squad that has captured Akua will brainwash the youth, telling Akua he cannot defeat anyone with equipment. Those pieces of equipment will easily kill him!

Thus, each time Akua helps them kill mutants and completes the mission, he invariably hands over the equipment fearfully and honestly, in order to obtain a bit of food.

The effect is excellent.

Watching Akua frantically wave his hands, signaling them not to harm his clanspeople anymore, he could only turn and fight; after that, the leading Third Level snorted coldly and simply sat down to watch the show.

Boss, this kid is really too useful.. He's so strong, no monster can kill him, I even wonder if that person could kill him.

Who knows? I estimate he can't. Don't you remember, in that trial, even a nuclear blast couldn't kill this kid. Back then he wasn't even a Third Level!

Stop talking nonsense. The harder he is to kill, the easier he is to kill! Don't expect him to help us get much.

Let him go to the sea to kill that Fourth Stage sea beast; after finishing this job, we should wrap up!

You say a word, I say a word, this large detachment belonging to the India War Zone now resembles an old-era slave master, enjoying the slaughter between Akua and the monster.

No need to lift a finger, no need to risk their lives; it's hard to imagine that just by relying on the mutants Akua killed, they could sustain the entire Safe Zone!

Note: Safe Zone is Safe Zone from glossary.

Wrap up!? Boss, you mean we don't need this kid anymore!?

Why!? This kid is so useful; as long as we control his clanspeople, he's the perfect enforcer!

Faced with the leader's arrangement, the entire squad immediately panicked.

If we don't let Akua risk his life, what will they eat and drink? Are we supposed to let them fight the monsters themselves and complete the missions!? Having grown accustomed to sucking blood by clinging to Akua, they've even forgotten how to fight monsters!

Idiot! This kid's ability is already known by many! Now all of India is in chaos; whoever learns how useful this kid is wouldn't want to snatch him!?

By then, everyone will come after us; can you hold them off!?

I've thought about it; although this kid becomes a Fourth Stage, we might be able to walk sideways, but that Lin An might not necessarily have a way to deal with him. However, no, this kid must learn a lot to become a Fourth Stage!

By then, he might even develop a consciousness of resisting us!

Rather than this...

As they spoke, the eyes of the leading Third Level instantly filled with ruthless intent:

Squeeze out his last value, let him fight to the death with a Fourth Stage monster! Even if he and the monster die together, we might still reap sufficient rewards! If he doesn't die, we'll kill him ourselves!

If we can't get it, nobody else can either!

By then, just finding a random place to hide would be better than now, nervously on edge!

As the words fell, everyone looked at each other.

Should we let Akua go die? Kill this boy... Frankly, they only see Akua as a tool; there's no such thing as being unwilling. It's just a bit regrettable.

Everyone deep down knows Akua's talent is terrifyingly strong; becoming a Fourth Stage, if guided well, perhaps...

Low Earth orbit.

Gazing at the Starlink system, like countless dots, spread across the globe.

Lin An silently gazed at the blue planet beneath his feet.

After a few seconds, as one connection success after another rang out, Lin An slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, like a flood, the mental power suddenly swept over the whole world.
