Chapter 118: Original Body

Sui Bian takes this chance to thoroughly suppress the influence of the "God."

He slowly lifts his right hand, his gaze fixed on Lilith, nailed to the rock wall about a kilometer away.

And the crowd, because of Sui Bian's action, turns their eyes that way.

Boom Boom.

Suddenly!

The Fearful Spear that had pierced Lilith and lodged in the rock suddenly begins to shake violently.

Boom—!

In the end, the Fearful Spear seems to pull itself out, instantly leaving the rock and Lilith.

Without being a fixed spear, Lilith's massive, soft, powerless body falls downward.

Splash—!

Lilith crashes into the blood lake formed by her own blood, raising a surge of bloodwater, as if marking the fall of the age of the Gods.

Meanwhile, the floating Fearful Spear, while rapidly shrinking, darts toward Sui Bian, Rebecca and the others.

!!!

This makes the senior researchers, who are "literati," show fear; some even cannot help but clutch their heads and crouch.

BoKen, Rebecca and Alekxia are somewhat calmer, while Carlos, Leon, Ida and the HellParatroopers show no fear at all.

In an instant, the three‑meter red‑glowing spear is already in Sui Bian's right hand.

Sui Bian hefts the long spear.

Its weight feels moderate to him, but the spear's actual mass must be more than that.

Then he thrusts the spear tip down into the ground, and after scanning the assembled crowd, raises his voice to declare:

"Everyone, I have no connection to the God; since my birth I have been human."

"The God is not a higher‑ranked being; the truth is right before your eyes. I, a human, can make the war god Ares's weapons and armor submit."

"I do not know what happened in antiquity, but I know the God must fear us, dread us humans, and that is why they suppress and mislead."

"So, everyone, stop lamenting God! God! Jesus! Or those false gods who never helped you when you faced hardship!"

"The abnormal and the strange should fear us! Victory and the future will belong to humanity!"

"For humanity! For Umbrella!"

As soon as Sui Bian finishes speaking, the Astates, his offspring, roar loudly, their youthful voices revealing unwavering resolve.

"HellParatroopers! What is our answer!"

"Step into Hell! Fearless of life and death! Sir!"

Then Carlos and the HellParatroopers on the ground let out their battle cries.

Even Leon and the senior researchers, caught by the atmosphere, raise their right hands and loudly echo.

Ida, constrained by her image, does not shout, but still whispers softly with her mouth slightly open.

Alekxia and Rebecca's expressions move, as if they fully endorse Sui Bian's words.

As for BoKen

"Ha! As expected, sir! I will definitely create the next generation of corporate bio‑weapons!"

He still looks a bit mad, as if it fuels this genius doctor's drive to create a "God" for humanity.

After a moment.

Sui Bian waves his hand and says, "Alright, everyone, your primary task now is to help the engineering team and technicians retrieve Adam's ex‑wife, then conduct a comprehensive study on it."

"Okay (yes), sir (chief)!"

Carlos and the HellParatroopers disperse with fighting spirit and continue the temporary security duties.

BoKen, even more enthusiastic, leads his research team toward the central camp, eager to study those white giants.

Leon and Ida head to the tent housing the archaeological team, preparing to handle the follow‑up work their intel officers should do.

Finally.

Beneath Ares's skeleton lie only Sui Bian, Rebecca, Alekxia and ten Astates.

"Chambos, Rishik, you two go find the technicians to recover Ares's armor, then I will arrange transport to the hive." Sui Bian signals.

"Fine." Rebecca shrugs.

"Mm." Alekxia nods.

They know that Sui Bian will soon say something to the Astates.

After they leave, Sui Bian draws the Fearful Spear, holds it horizontally before him, and says softly to John:

"John, this belongs to you."

?!

John is first surprised, but his cold face quickly turns to joy.

Then John steps forward, extends both hands, and under the admiring gazes of his brothers, carefully takes the Fearful Spear.

John is the most silent, yet most efficient second brother; his strength has earned the respect of all his brothers.

The remaining eight brothers feel somewhat down, but after all there are only two weapons and one set of armor.

Moreover, according to their father's words to the two doctors, that armor seems intended for research.

At this moment, Sui Bian, even without deliberately feeling the emotional waves, can see the eight young Astates' dejected state.

"Don't be discouraged." Sui Bian smiles and explains, "Even Ares has three items, let alone the other Olympian gods."

"So relax, I will give each of you a divine weapon before you reach adulthood."

"Father, before adulthood, this is our coming‑of‑age rite?" Robert, the first to react, says, then glances at the flaming Flame Sword in his right hand.

"Exactly. I thought to wait until you grew up, but I decided to give it now, so you won't waste any useless …"

"Father." Finally seeing Sui Bian's kind side, this caused a group of children's eyes to turn red again.

"Alright, compose yourselves, knowing that you are the first batch of Astate, and in the future you will bear my responsibility."

Sui Bian said solemnly.

"Future? Responsibility? Father means that from now on we will teach. younger brothers?" Robert asked.

"That's right, my energy isn't limitless; teaching you few already worries me, let alone teaching hundreds together, hehe." Sui Bian shook his head and laughed.

"Right." He also added: "Don't forget, only you are qualified to use the unique weapon.

Moreover, the mother nest, based on your current genes, has further perfected the G gland, so the growth cycle of the next generation of Astate will be reduced to 2 to 3 years."

The Astate of Robert and John's generation have extremely high requirements; only ten were selected from tens of millions of orphans, and their growth period also requires 6-7 years.

The improved G gland, to a certain extent, lowers the requirements for adapters, shortens the growth cycle, and enhances stability.

In a sense, the new generation of Astate is more like a grandfather-grandson relationship to Sui Bian.

But the G gland was born because of him, and the improved version is likewise; the system also continues to affirm the "father-son connection" ability.

So when Robert said "younger brothers," Sui Bian did not object.

"You." At this moment, Sui Bian said in a deep voice: "You are the most special, most outstanding, most excellent OriginalBody (Primarch) among the Astate."

Today I took the Subject 3 test.

However, I was nervous; the starting lights went wrong, and I failed on the first attempt.

The second time, because I was too steady, my speed was below twenty kilometers per hour twice, and I failed again, uh.

Ten days later I still have to retake it.
