Chapter 117: Sui Bian: I Am Not a God

Seeing Sui Bian's wordless silence, and also his left‑right gaze at Lili Si and Ares, made Rebecca and the others unable to stop fantasizing.

Sir, have you already known something?

After all, Umbrella's technology can make a leapfrog breakthrough, and it is fundamentally inseparable from Sui Bian.

Especially Wang Zhaofeng and his high‑tech team, they are all deeply impressed by Sui Bian.

Sui Bian only gave a brief hint, and then helped the high‑tech team overcome the technical hurdle.

In the eyes of Dr. Wang Zhaofeng, Sui Bian's knowledge has already surpassed that of the most outstanding physicists.

If Wang Zhaofeng did not still cling to the "godless" doctrine, one might truly think Sui Bian is the vessel of a physics or technology god.

"Boom—!"

At that moment, the skeletal Ares, who had been reclining, suddenly began to tremble.

??!!

The crowd was astonished.

Carlos, Leon, Ada and other HellParatroopers and Astates, even Alekxia, immediately went on alert.

But the scene that followed opened everyone's eyes.

They saw the black‑gold War God Armor split front to back, and the Flame Sword hanging at the waist automatically fell off, shrinking rapidly as it fell.

When the armor struck the grass and the sword pierced the soil, both items had already shrunk to a size usable by humans.

"What the heck?!"

BoKen was the first to gasp in shock, then stepped toward the now armor‑less skeleton.

Still shocked, Rebecca and the others, seeing BoKen move, also rushed over, preparing to investigate why the armor and sword suddenly fell and shrank.

As for the still‑immature Astates, they also wanted to watch up close out of curiosity, but only Sui Bian stood in place, so they dutifully stayed behind him.

"Father. Are we?" However, as the eldest son Robert, the questions that need asking must still be asked.

"Let's go take a look." Sui Bian lightly nodded and walked forward.

Seeing this, Robert and John and the other brothers followed their father forward.

Rebecca and some top researchers, along with several HellParatroopers, had already gathered at the spot where the Flame Sword lay.

The sword blade, like a burning flame, was embedded in the soil, leaving only the golden hilt exposed.

But because the Flame Sword's properties were uncertain, the group first discussed quietly without touching it, and prepared to contact technicians to bring professional equipment for inspection.

BoKen, Alekxia, Leon and others split into two groups, surrounding the armor now divided into two parts.

At this time, Sui Bian's party also arrived at the Flame Sword.

Sui Bian stopped at a point less than four meters from the hilt; Rebecca stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you know the cause of this change?"

Before Sui Bian arrived, the armor and sword had maintained their ten‑thousand‑year posture, but as soon as he came, things changed.

This time Rebecca truly could not explain it with natural phenomena; she really couldn't blame herself for the association.

"Hmm." Sui Bian didn't deny, but gave a light response without explanation.

Now he holds titles such as "Biologist", "Physicist" and even the moniker "Seer of Premonition" within the company.

Sui Bian is used to it.

Moreover, it adds to his mystique and helps his authority as a boss grow day by day; the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

And some matters, like the shrinking of Ares's weapon and armor, cannot be hidden even if Sui Bian wanted to.

"." The silent Astates couldn't help but show a proud demeanor.

Sure enough, it has to do with their father!

This shows the father's strength is unmatched, even the War God armor and weapons willingly submit!

As his offspring, they are nothing but pride, pure pride.

"Robert."

"Father?"

"You don't like sword weapons? Try pulling it out." Sui Bian smiled faintly, speaking to Robert on his left side.

"Father! This…!" Robert was a bit flustered.

But quickly, a realization flashed in the eldest son's eyes.

Otherwise father would have asked him why he used a dagger!

So that's it!

Father really just doesn't like expression; everything his children do, father watches and keeps in his heart.

The sudden insight made Robert's eyes slightly red, as he forced back tears.

John and the other brothers standing not far away felt the same.

There was also a hint of envy in their gazes, but big brother Robert was responsible; if Sui Bian really handed the Flame Sword to Robert, they would be convinced.

Seeing Robert's lack of reaction, Sui Bian turned, lifted his head slightly, looked at his eldest son's face, and still with a faint smile asked:

"What, don't you like it?"

"No, father, I like it very much, but John and the other brothers more than I do."

"I don't want to hear that." Sui Bian cut off Robert's excessive modesty.

"Huh!" Robert took a heavy breath, then, according to his heart's will, nodded: "I understand, father."

After speaking.

Robert turned and walked toward the Flame Sword.

He approached, stopped, bent his waist, and grasped the sword hilt with his right hand.

"Huh ha." A somewhat nervous Robert inhaled deeply again, then pulled upward with force.

!

!!

He exerted all his strength and pulled twice; even his feet, which served as support, sank into the soil, and Robert still couldn't pull out the Flame Sword.

"Father, I..." Robert somewhat wanted to give up.

"Try again." Sui Bian didn't say anything else.

"Yes!" But for Robert, this was absolutely a kind of encouragement.

Immediately Robert adjusted his mindset and closed his eyes; when his eyes reopened, the determination in his gaze grew a bit stronger.

He again exerted force to pull upward.

Clang!

The flaming blade once again saw the light!

"Stomp! Stomp!"

Robert, who had successfully pulled out the sword, staggered back several steps from overexertion before stabilizing his stance.

Seeing this, the other two groups stopped paying attention to the armor split into two parts and gathered toward the Flame Sword.

"Father, I did it!" Robert, holding the Flame Sword high with his right hand, couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Hmm, not bad, it really suits you." Sui Bian said with a smile.

In fact, Robert was able to successfully pull out the sword because Sui Bian granted this eldest son partial usage rights.

Sui Bian indeed intended to give this divine artifact to Robert, but he also used Robert as an experiment.

It confirmed that without his permission, no one could use these three items.

"Sir, you... really"

"I am not a god."

Rebecca, who had been observing nearby the whole time, was somewhat bewildered; she could only use "divine trace" to explain what she saw, but before she could finish, Sui Bian, who had perceived it, interrupted her.
