24 years old, alien god, raising the era of humanity

A large number of pirate monsters are wandering along the coastal routes, and all major ports have been captured.

The Gulf of Aden area has been overrun by monsters for some time, and there are no traces of humans at all. The mountains and plains along the coastline are full of alien pirates wearing colorful cloths and carrying Kalashnikov's War of God's Choice.

Some of them have shark heads, some have turtle heads, and some have ferocious vulture heads.

But without exception, they are all armed with machetes and fire guns, predatory, and murderous.

"Are we going to use a bomber group and an artillery group to attack the port? If we force a landing, there will be a lot of casualties among soldiers."

Xia Jin still looked like he was covered in bandages, and the skin all over his body was burned and ulcerated from breaking into the depths of Mount Fuji that was about to erupt.

In order to obtain Lu Bu's head, the former strongest man on earth paid a high price.

"No, after the battle between our fleet and the Atlantis Defense Force, the base of bombs and artillery shells is not very sufficient. It is really not cost-effective to waste this heavy firepower on these pirates."

"And... you also know, General Xia."

"These pirate monsters are the result of alien gods alienating the earth's source. If they are wiped out on a large scale... it will be equivalent to depriving the planet of life."

Admiral Wan Hang's words made Mr. Xia Jin calm down.

Indeed, it would be unwise to use precious firepower on these pirates.

Moreover, the large-scale annihilation of monster groups is likely to cause unknown disasters.

Atila once faced off against the true machine-god Ares on the Earth of Steel. That parallel world seemed to be that the great source of the earth was completely consumed. After the death of Gaia consciousness, all life perished, leaving only an iron-grey star. stone planet.

"Hey, forget it...Looking at the situation, we can only continue marching."

"Even if the news about the fake South China Sea Combined Fleet is sent back to China, the Dayan government will not be able to influence the heroes of the Argonauts on the sea."

"It just adds to the sorrow. The people behind the scenes are using a complete conspiracy. We are sure that we will not be able to expose their conspiracy."

With a sigh, General Wan Hang and General Xia Jin were helpless.

The timing and location of the fake South China Sea United Fleet's appearance are perfect, and the ship models and identification marks of the Great Yan Navy are perfectly reproduced. It is normal for the Argonauts not to recognize the real ones from the fake ones.

Even if you don’t know what this unknown force disguised as a pan-human history fleet wants to do, if you want to take action against the Argonauts... being stabbed in the back by a friendly force in such an unprepared situation, there is no way I wonder if Jason and Captain Nemo can react.

And the worst thing is, if this unknown force does not reveal its disguise, but directly uses the name of Dayan to attack the Argonauts... then Dayan will really be a piece of yellow mud that fell into his crotch, not shit. It’s also shit.

"General Wan Hang, General Xia Jin... I made an amazing discovery!"

While the two Great Yan generals were distressed, Webbert hurriedly barged in from outside the command room.

"Oh, Mr. Webbert, is there a solution to the unusual gathering of pirates?"

Wan Hang and Xia Jin stood up, showing great respect for this rare talent.

They are eager to spread the true and false news of the South China Sea Fleet back to the country, and even have the idea of ​​​​returning from the Somali waters to the Gulf of Aden and marching through Suez to chase the Argonauts.

There is no way, if Dayan is really blamed for attacking friendly forces, Chinese civilization will be embarrassed in front of the whole world.

"That's not true...but I have made an even more shocking discovery!"

Webbert scratched his head, saluted the two generals in a decent manner and then spoke.

His status is quite special. He does not need to pass the call when entering a place like the general command room, but he still has to salute out of respect for the elders.

"tell me the story."

Although some regrets are not the solution to the pirate disaster, the two generals are not the kind of barbarians who are impatient to listen to others, and they signaled to Webbert that he could continue.

"Through the images observed by drones, the shark pirates, turtle hunting pirates and vulture pirate groups have retained a large number of human customs. They even have the concepts of [family] and [tribe], occupying some of the South African islands on the coastline that originally belonged to them. The tribe’s houses served as nests for survival.”

"According to my observations and speculations, these monsters probably did not appear out of thin air at all, but humans who were contaminated by alienated magic power...or rather, humans who were possessed by malignant magic power and were originally pirates."

"This is an astonishing fact. Humans can actually be transformed into monsters. If the side effects of alienated limbs can be eliminated and only the positive effects of strengthening the body are retained, this may become a key element in human evolution!"

Webbert's excitement was palpable, as he spoke and gestured with rich body language like an Italian.

"This... is indeed an incredible discovery."

"The Great Yan government has been conducting experiments on using magic power to strengthen the body, but it has not yet produced such concrete results."

"If you can really preserve your sanity and strengthen your body, it doesn't seem to be a problem even if it becomes a little weird."

After listening to Webbert's report, Admiral Wanhang held his chin and said thoughtfully.

The physical fitness of pirate monsters is almost three to five times that of ordinary people, and some leader-level monsters are even more invulnerable.

If they are really transformed from humans, then analyzing this transformation phenomenon, we might be able to obtain [monster-human] transformation technology and take a big step forward in human evolution.

"Does this sound so familiar?"

Xia Jin, who was on the side, felt a little uneasy for some reason as he listened to these two guys discussing the transformation issue between humans and monsters in a serious manner.

He formed a bond with Lu Bu because of a dozen college students who were transformed into automatons. Although he almost had his heart and lungs ripped out by Wen Hou at that time, he was able to prove the truth with his life.

Later, he was favored by the First Emperor, who used Lostbelt technology to transform his body and gave him a hundred years of life. Only then did he regain the strength of his youth.

"Transforming humans into monsters while maintaining their sanity...didn't the witch Medea do this?"

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to remind Webbert.

"But at that time, Medea was just transforming one by one, and the efficiency was different from the pirate monsters that are all over the mountains and plains now."

Webbert received the magic records of the Medea Gods preserved by Dayan, and he still remembers that incident.

He shook his head and said seriously.

"Replacing a person's meridians and flesh and blood with magic circuits and magic materials, I can do this now, and even some more powerful warlocks and magicians can do it."

"But how much manpower, material resources and energy it will cost is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"And here in Somalia... the number of humans who have been transformed into pirate monsters has probably exceeded one million. There is definitely some way or power that can bypass the limitations of materials and time and perform human enhancement techniques in large quantities."

In the professional field of magic, Webbert's theoretical knowledge is very rich.

But when it comes to body modification techniques, he actually can't do it at all. However, the big talk here is just to prove his professionalism, so there is no need to go too deep into it.

"Well, that's the difference between mass production and isolated cases."

After listening to Webbert's explanation, Xia Jin immediately understood the difference between the automatons transformed by Medea and the Somali pirates.

Indeed, it took half a month of planning by the magicians of the Gods to transform hundreds of automatons, of which only a dozen retained all their sanity and memory.

And in Somalia, there are millions of pirate monsters, all of which retain some of their human instincts.

Comparing the two, it feels like a high-tech laboratory and a Yiwu wholesale market.

"By the way... If you want to transform so many humans, you must have a huge source of magic power as energy."

"The spiritual veins on Children's Island can support ten heroic spirits and four inherent barriers. This proves that the spiritual veins on the Sealed Island must be rich in magic power."

"I don't know the leyline network in this area of ​​South Africa, but the most likely place where spiritual veins will accumulate... is this right?"

Xia Jin's question made Webbert think of something. Since it takes time and magic to transform humans into monsters, millions of pirate monsters must not appear out of thin air.

And there is definitely a place with a large spiritual vein nearby...

Everyone looked at the wall of the command room, where a chart hung.

It was Hera who gave Jason the Anchor Map of Juehai 48 Seal Network.

There is an anchor point, which happens to be in the waters of Somalia.

"It seems we have to go there..."

The source of turning millions of humans in South Africa into monsters...the Island of Military Advisors.

Which heroic spirit was it that could not leave the island because the earth veins were sealed, but still performed such a shocking feat?

298.Arrived at Hunter’s Island

The place where the South China Sea Combined Fleet and the Nautilus met was not too far from the Strait of Gibraltar.

Through this transportation artery between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, the Argonauts have just left the novice village and will face the threats of the Atlantean defense force and the real machine god Poseidon.

"Cross the strait and sail southwest for forty nautical miles...over there is the Hunter's Island."

The heroic spirits stood on the deck of Pengcheng, the flagship of the fleet, looking at the direction Jason was pointing.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a green island sits quietly.

There are flocks of birds circling around the island. I don’t know whether they are taking advantage of the sunset to catch fish and shrimps, or returning home with their crops full of food.

Vibrant, this is the first impression that the Hunter Island gives people. This is the first sealed island that the Argonauts will encounter after leaving the Mediterranean.

"I think... Atalanta must be on that island. She is the most famous huntress in Greece."

"And Apollo also said that Artemis, the goddess of hunting, is most likely on the island."

"Atalanta is also a believer in the Moon God. It is very possible for them to be together."

Medea's eyes shine with the light of the magic eye. Although she does not have a naturally powerful magic eye, she can recreate some weak magic eyes through magic, which is a very good way to directly witness the flow of magic.

"The huntress Atalanta and the moon goddess Artemis...if they are on board, the long-range attack methods that my Argo lacks most can be made up for!"

Clenching his fists, Jason couldn't wait to board the Hunter's Island.

"Captain Jason... our Argonaut is still in the conceptual design stage."

Seeing Jason's tendency to get too excited, Illya poured a handful of cold water on him at the right time.

"Alright, fellow Argonauts."

Just when everyone was discussing what heroic spirits might exist on Hunter's Island, the female general Qin Liangyu, the commander of the combined fleet, reminded them.

"The offshore terrain of Hunter Island is flat and not suitable for landing large-tonnage modern ships. We can only go ashore in small boats and cannot receive fire support from the fleet."

"After arriving on the island, safety is the first priority in everything, ensuring the survival of the living forces. At the same time, we will try our best to obtain the help and participation of the heroic spirits on the island."

"Finally, there is the issue of the distribution of the spoils... We, the Chinese civilization, want to obtain one-third of the inheritance of gods, as well as the ownership rights of the Chinese heroic spirits."

Qin Liangyu still has some military qualities. Although she has no experience in water warfare, it is well known that... the Great Qin Lost World has the military immortal Han Xin.

In order to prevent more flaws from being exposed, and because he had little combat effectiveness, Han Xin did not come to the fleet disguised as Pan-Human History in person, but instead commanded Qin Liangyu remotely through communication means.

"Okay, Lord Zhongzhenhou... these are all agreed upon before."

After listening to Qin Liangyu's allocation of the island landing plan, Captain Nemo nodded and said it was no problem.

Landing on a strange sealed island is definitely accompanied by dangers, so a relatively conservative plan is not an exaggeration.

As for the ownership of the heroic spirits on the island and the distribution of the spoils, we had already bargained in the conference room before, so there was no need to talk anymore at this time.
