Chapter 506: Trap

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No matter how beautiful the weather was, it was still hard for the eyes of an ordinary person to see things from 100 kilometers away. However, for Zhang Lisheng’s eyes that had already surpassed the limits of a human, the towering totem pole of the Wizard Li was evident to him.

“This is the land where my ‘belief’ spreads. This is the ‘kingdom’ where my majesty is born...” Suddenly, a quote from the Old Testament that this Island God had heard before appeared in his mind. He did not exclaim in surprise when he saw the Atlanteans’ threats. Instead, he just showed a faint smile.

Any sensible person would know if Aladus’ companions used the power of light and heat to attack Zhang Lisheng over a few arguments. Since Atlantis strived to forge unity with Earth, the punishment they would face would be severe. For this reason, although the situation seemed to be in jeopardy, it would never deteriorate to the point where substantive conflicts would erupt.

Besides, if these Atlanteans lost control and cast an attack at this place where divine power was still reachable, Zhang Lisheng, who was skilled in kung fu, would still have his own way of killing them on the spot while maintaining his composure.

“Deolis, Udival, are you two trying to turn the ‘banishment’ penalty into ‘annihilation’?” Zhang Lisheng had already expected this sight. Upon seeing their companions activate their power of light and heat, Aladus had already growled in anger under his breath. They quarreled before the young man could even say anything.

Upon hearing the word ‘annihilation,’ the two impulsive Atlanteans immediately turned into a torch that was extinguished by torrential rain. Colors drained from their faces as they swayed a little, the light on their body disappeared without a trace.

When Aladus saw that Deolis and Udival had finally calmed down, he secretly sighed with relief. His grave expression lightened a little, but when he cast a glance secretly at the black-haired young man who was smiling on the beach, his appearance turned grave once again.

After a few seconds of silence, Aladus finally yielded and said, “Dr. Zhang, we need your help. If you show us goodwill this time, we will always remember it in our hearts.”

“Now that’s an attitude I was looking for from people who were asking for help, Mr. Deolis,” Zhang Lisheng smiled and said. “I can help you, but my conditions are not for you to just remember in your heart. I want you to swear in the name of the ‘Will of the Universe’ and owe me a favor that must be repaid in the future.”

The young man’s words caused the faces of the six Atlanteans to twitch in unison. If it were not for the fact that the situation was in his control now, these aliens would have already cursed out loud.

“Dr. Zhang, I didn’t expect an earthling like you to actually know the ‘Will of the Universe’ too.” Aladus forced the few words out between his gritted teeth.

“Oh, Sergeant Major Someril has once told me that the ‘Will of the Universe’ is the truth that you Atlanteans follow. I think that it’s a religion. Still, she said that it’s actually a science in a broader sense.” Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said indifferently, “Sergeant Aladus, I’ve said that I don’t have much time, so tell me now, do you guys accept this condition?”

“It seems that we have no choice.” Glancing at his companions beside him who did not raise any objections despite their anger, Aladus fell into silence once again before letting out a sigh. “I’ll be the one who makes the vow first then. I, Sergeant Aladus Qim of the Atlantis, swear by the ‘Will of the Universe’...”

Just like that, all six Atlanteans vowed.

After that, Zhang Lisheng said with satisfaction, “Very good! Now that we have reached a consensus, I’ll write in the report to General Joss that your conflict with the Wizard Li people stems from miscommunication. I will try to play down the responsibility for the issue...”

“Dr. Zhang, we’re willing to swear to owe you a favor, but it’s not just to play down the responsibility of the issue...” When Deolis heard that they still could not be excused from the responsibilities entirely, he gritted his teeth loudly and interrupted.

“This is not a matter that you can control. I’m the one who gets to decide.” The young man interrupted the Atlantean’s words. “Alright, everybody, I’m leaving this boring island now, goodbye!”

Then, without any other words, he turned around and walked to the pier.

They looked at Zhang Lisheng’s back that was gradually drawing farther into the golden sun. This was the first time Aladus had such a deep sense of powerlessness and scruples against an Earthling. Deolis, who was beside him, had already cursed out loud, “This inorganic trash, rubbish! Even if it’s on the Earth or Atlantis, all businessmen are all similarly sly! Don’t let me... Don’t let me...”

“Enough, Deolis! You look like those occupants of those ‘dependent planet’ whom somebody had kicked.” Upon seeing her companion’s infuriated manner, Paula, who had not said a word when they were negotiating with Zhang Lisheng, calmed down. She then said in a blank expression, “Cursing behind him is what weaklings do. If you continue to curse, then you’re just acknowledging that Earthling is essentially more powerful than us six Atlanteans...”

Faced with the vow they made on the ‘Will of the Universe,’ the remains of the second batch of the Shrimp World No. 2 explorers had argued again because of their impetuousness. They did not know that this vow was not actually bad news. What was more frightening was that Zhang Lisheng had already recorded them swearing using the translating device.

Once he exposed this matter, Zhang Lisheng could just cook up a reason for covering his eyes on the light stone. He would only be painted as a greedy fellow at most, while the Atlanteans would inevitably face a cruel punishment.

Ten minutes later, standing somewhere on the battleship cruising the waves of New York, the young man adjusted the translating device that resembled contact lenses on his retina. He did this using his consciousness. He then fast-forwarded to the scene where Aladus and his companions swore with unwillingness. Smugly, he said to himself, “This Atlanteans translating device is quite amazing. Not only can it translate words and texts, it even has a panoramic stereoscopic camera function! I wonder if such a useful item has an imitation on Earth? If there is, then I must buy a lot of them... Oh sh*t, I’ve forgotten to ask those Atlanteans why they wanted to kill my believers. Ah forget it, no matter what the reason is, it’s no longer important...” The six, weak, brainless Atlanteans occupied a shallow position in his heart. The trap that he designed to catch the leverage on these Atlanteans was also successful without much effort. Everything had gone with the flow.

The military reorganization of the Wizard Li was intensively being carried out. After forty days, the third wave of an unprecedented war of conquest would kick-off. During this time, the most crucial thing that Zhang Lisheng had done was to understand all kinds of situations on Earth. Although his foundation had been deeply rooted in the Hellfire sea region, he still could not neglect the aid on the Earth at this stage. He believed this even if he hadn’t stepped on Earth for a long time.

The young man contemplated his plans once he returned to New York. Unwittingly, the red light curtain in the distance became clearly visible.

He felt that his ‘dead’ body would no longer attract the attention of the Atlantis protective device. When Zhang Lisheng saw the red light that resembled flowing magma, he could not help but froze and hurriedly removed himself from the deck to hide in the washroom of the battleship.

If the aftermath were not as optimistic as he had imagined, he would immediately transform into the Eye Beast King. He would then use magnetic force to turn the battleship into a hard shell to gatecrash into it before swimming in the Earth’s water. Doing this meant that he had to pretend like he was waiting to be rescued.

Fortunately, as Zhang Lisheng had guessed, when the red light that was separating the worlds penetrated the metal and swept through his body, the young man did not feel anything at all as he coursed through the curtain.

This allowed him to let out a sigh of relief and return to the deck.

Now that Zhang Lisheng had become relaxed, he inadvertently looked at the direction of the Shrimp World No. 2. He suddenly realized that thousands of slender, mechanical arms extended out of it, waving in the air on several platforms that looked like deep-sea oil derricks in the ocean from a distance. Amid his constant waving, a series of seven-colored light would flash on and off.

When he saw that the steel platforms were on the edge of the broken barriers between Earth and Shrimp World No. 2, he watched for a while before muttering to himself, “What the hell is that?”

Then, he turned and looked around.

At this moment, since the warship had already sailed into Earth’s water, all combat readiness lifted. Many soldiers flocked the deck. Thus, Zhang Lisheng casually stopped a burly lieutenant with a square face and lengthy chin, a typical American, young Caucasian man look, and asked, “Hey, buddy. What are those terrifying-looking ‘hand monsters’?”

“Hands Monster? Haha... What an appropriate name, Dr. Zhang!” The officer who was carrying out the special public duty would naturally know the identity of the young, black-haired, young man on the side of the ship. Politely, he replied, “However, they’re officially called as ‘microphoton broad spectrum isolation braiding instrument.’ It’s said that they can prevent the barrier that was isolating the foreign world and Earth from collapsing. It’s the most useful thing that the second Atlantis fleet brought when they came to Earth.”

“The second Atlantis fleet?” The young man’s eyes narrowed. He then asked casually, “Oh, another Atlantis fleet has come to Earth recently?”

“Yes, doctor, about two months ago. A fleet that the Atlantis civilians organized has reached Earth. A small number of warships escorted them and have traversed millions of kilometers of galaxies to help us.”

“The Atlanteans governmental fleet cannot do anything with the collapsing barriers of the world, but the civilian fleet solved this problem instead. What an unexpected surprise!” Zhang Lisheng could not help but shrug and said when he saw the lieutenant’s polite manner.

“It’s said that an experimental accident has allowed a breakthrough in the ‘Dimensional Isolation Technology’ in Atlantis once the government fleet has departed. For this reason, all the civilian squadrons that left a year later are equipped with the ‘microphoton broad spectrum isolation braiding instrument. This is not strange, doctor. Many of the latest scientific and technological achievements in our country are also in the hands of private multinational corporations.” As though hearing the doubts in the young man’s words, the lieutenant raised his voice and argued.
