Chapter 1698: with translation of chapter title

NO．313：When false is made true, true also becomes false.

Although the Holy Terra Federation, relying on years of research, has been able to turn the accidental occurrence of 'Heaven's Gate' into a relatively stable controllable model, and even possesses coordinates for nearly a hundred other worlds.

While being able to send back a considerable portion of those who wish to return home, it also achieves mutual exchange between the two worlds' regimes, enabling trade flow of resources, culture, and technology, making it undeniably a powerful civilization by any measure.

But just as most academic researchers believe that 'the known is only a minority, the unknown is far greater'.

Not only has the Holy Terra Federation failed to achieve the compulsory 'everyone a dragon' like the Plasma Spark Tower constructed by the Land of Light, but it also cannot even state how many visitors from unknown worlds exist in its own homeland.

At all times, one must record.

At all times, one must stay vigilant.

The shift system of the Two Worlds Safety Bureau covers the entire year, solely to deal with the——unrecorded world's travelers who might appear at any moment.

Without closing the door, nor building a thick wall covering the whole world to restrict visitors, the current state of this world is enough to cause many practitioners to suffer from an occupational disease of panic.

——What if one day an overly powerful being descends to destroy this world?

Just as the worry of Qi person worrying about the sky may stem from having witnessed the devastation of a meteorite fall, those engaged in Two Worlds Safety work inevitably worry about the fragility of this world's gate.

After all, even Noah Ultraman has descended and left before; what if one day the Anti-Spiral clan appears, bringing the Spiral clan to wreak havoc, turning the whole world upside down?

Everything is possible, everything is unknown, but having said that——

——Even if one were to erect a 'wall' to seal this world and reject those uninvited extradimensional beings, how could one guarantee that the wall would survive an encounter with an overly powerful being?

Once one falls into the unsettling hollow mire, no matter what method is used, it is hard to alleviate. For the more you know, the more you unconsciously imagine that distant, lofty hostility almost beyond reach, imagining whether such a terrifying existence might lurk within the currently known myriad worlds; what if it were to act upon this place?

The fear of the unknown is like a bone-eating maggot, residing in the minds of these investigators at the frontier of exploration; often they need external interference from source energy and technology to obtain relief.

The fact is indeed this cruel.

Some pursue the unknown, some panic at the unknown, but regardless of the attitude with which one views this world, the vast unknown remains a fact.

When you see some familiar presence that ought not to be standing here, you often find it hard to immediately declare its authenticity.

Because this world could truly produce them.

Precisely for this reason, the business of the Monster Martial Arts Troupe is booming.

Those in the Mecha Battle Kitchen also take pleasure in imitating Gundam, Getter, and Mazinger Z, and often manage to fool their fellow Mecha Battle Kitchen enthusiasts time and again, as if they never learn.

Everyone harbors expectations, and this expectation is never confined to a specific field; the Way of Monsters is no exception.

She has always sought inspiration from life, constantly crafting new monster models, occasionally wanting to carve an extremely familiar model, solely to enrich her collection.

By now, her reasons for carving those familiar poses have also added giving them to friends.

Sending them to online-significance friends, sending them to real-significance boyfriends.

The precursor to the Demon God Zero monster cards, the ogre-fied Aomo Lindun model is naturally her proudest work; and in the nearly half year since, Christmas, Spring Festival, and even recent times have seen new works fresh off the press, the most recent of which undoubtedly falls in the month of the Jidong Derby, the Dream Cup midway.

Even the trainer of the horse girl who won the championship is essentially considered a double champion; although some accuse him of 'always having his four horse girls compete together, essentially betting three extra times each round as cheating!', the pattern of winning again and again is undeniable fact.

Even the one who usually isn't impressed by the horse girl's championship, Suzi, who once gave a monster sculpture in that match, also sent a Aomo Lindun statue a few days after winning the Dream Cup midway.

At the same time, there was also a quietly sent re-edition of an ogre statue to Bai Ren.

This was a benefit for the fan club manager to reward fervent fans.

Not mentioning how ecstatic the latter was from her maxing out their favorability, the former received Xiao Qian's latest masterpiece, which indeed has a shape that looks rather appetizing.

Its name is Ebirah, a mutant lobster monster appearing in the Godzilla film series.

Although its appearance is that of a solely gigantic reddish-brown shelled lobster, its behavior pattern is purely that of an amphibious animal, capable of moving freely on land as well, and being carnivorous—that is, it will eat humans.

For those who are familiar with its existence, the moment they see it they already feel like shouting and running away.

Yet the members of the monster eugenics ideology present on site, as well as the creator of the model, can instantly recognize its essential nature.

Then……

No then.

Compared to Sai Luo and Jie De, who react instantly by warrior instinct, these few who understand at a glance instead have to go through an extra process of 【surprise → mutual gaze → looking at the creator】.

Thus everyone's reaction uniformly slowed by half a beat; even Chen, who ideally should have the fewest distractions, did not rush to act because the monster's attack site had Aomo, so there was no urgency.

They not acting, they could only watch Jie De and Sai Luo, with astonishing reaction and speed, pull open the battlefield.

They didn't even have time to notify the former.

Of course, if unable to notify the parties involved, one can also notify the superior.

As a result, the superior also followed quickly.

Almost as soon as Jie De grabbed the lobster's tail and flung it out, and he himself flew out two seconds later, they saw Aomo walk into the black mist, leaving the group including Xiao Qian in place.

"What did he say?"

Looking at Gui She, who had the phone pressed to his ear, Shi Jia asked while also glancing at Xiao Qian, whom the people nearby were questioning.

And the badger in the questioning group.

Don't these people understand? He instinctively lowered his head to look at the calm Chen beside him.

In his impression, if Mr. Aomo had any action plan requiring cooperation, compared to himself, Gui She, and the badger, it would rather be Chen who could be entrusted with an important task.

This is not hard to understand, after all he and Chen have always occupied the team's highest monster synchronization rate, only A Peng can compete in controlling specific monsters.

But that boy seems to still need over a week before he can come over.

Clearly it's summer vacation yet they cannot immediately set off; these high school students indeed each have their own worries.

"No way, I was refused, and they actually refused my call!"

But Gui She's click of the tongue interrupted his woolgathering, and also caused him to adjust his glasses in surprise.

"Being refused…… it seems we don't need to act?"

He asked, facing not the crowd but looking toward that patch of woods, generally in the direction of the bay, Chen.

"We can go take a look over there."

Chen responded, pointing his finger at the bay direction firmly blocked by the woods.

"Over there is a real monster."
