My DNA Is Stirring!

Before setting off, Kang De told Dong Tianming that there were four objectives for this surprise attack on Tula Xiaye.

These are: gathering intelligence, probing for strengths and weaknesses, launching a decapitation strike, and ending the war.

There are four objectives, progressing step by step. Once one is completed, we consider whether to move on to the next.

The first objective has been achieved... Tula Xiaye is indeed in chaos.

A plane crashed, civilians were killed or wounded, rumors spread, and the killings inside the Tower of All-Seeing were nearing their end. This meant that the conspirator who had been manipulating everything was about to achieve his goal... The mastermind behind it all would use public opinion as a weapon to incite a war of annihilation against Distant Harbor, a war that would last until the very end.

Moreover, the Phoenix Vision saw the eerie shadows of the Star Palace.

The second goal has just been achieved.

The Forbidden Spell sword that crashed down from the sky forced the mastermind to reveal their trump card—a vast domain that seemed capable of covering the entire city.

It can indiscriminately absorb kinetic energy, suppressing the speed of all tangible objects to a certain upper limit.

The Mass Projection falling from the sky has also had its speed reduced to a level that point defense and light spear defense magic devices can intercept—due to the huge reduction in kinetic energy, the terrifying destructive power that once overturned mountains and seas no longer exists, and its threat level has even dropped to below that of combined tactical magic.

The power of Mass Projection, the ultimate Forbidden Spell, was greatly weakened, as were the modern firearms that were a generation ahead of the other world. The reduction in kinetic energy caused a sharp drop in destructive power and armor-piercing performance. Even explosive weapons, which rely on fragmentation as one of their main killing methods, also suffered a significant reduction in power.

Even with the high-speed delivery methods of modern military systems—missiles, artillery shells, bombs—the explosive power may not increase or decrease, but the reduction in speed is still fatal—that's where otherworldly magical military technology systems and alchemical weaponry systems can intercept them.

Given Earth's technological trajectory, achieving such an effect would likely require another technological explosion in the space age... If this power were brought to Earth, it would be enough to fulfill Einstein's vision ahead of schedule—too conservative! World War III could be fought with stones and sticks!

Such unreasonable technology and power, capable of easily crippling a Civilization's hard-earned and proud military might, would never exist in the Mortal World.

Otherwise, Kang De would have been defeated at the gates of Battle to Relieve Danfeng Lucerne.

"Star Palace!"

Leading the top experts of the Mortal World to gang up on the lone God of the Star Palace who was like a drowning dog, and using a thermonuclear warhead of tens of millions of tons to form a Solar Flare to blast the extinction legion from the starry sky, Kang De said that although he was cautious, he had some contempt for the Star Palace.

After all, seeing is believing, and even though the Parrot kept emphasizing it, he still couldn't truly grasp the power of the Star Palace.

To this day.

That Star Palace that destroyed and plundered countless eras.

Forever high in the heavens, arrogantly and disdainfully watching Mortal World changing world, they not only possess eternal and powerful strength like stars, but also collect the most essential wisdom and achievements of countless eras.

This deceleration zone, capable of absorbing kinetic energy over a large area without discrimination, is one of them.

Kang De also discovered the true nature of the Council.

The only one who can control the Star-Bearing Titan is probably the Grand Speaker of the Council.

The only one with the motive to intercept the Forbidden Spell and protect Danfeng Lucerne is Grand Speaker Griffin.

Having orchestrated this attack, purged opposition within the regime, used public anger to consolidate power, and launched a war against the Distant Harbor... Griffin was the biggest beneficiary of all these events!

No wonder he was so fearless; it turns out the Star Palace gave him the courage!

As seen from Phoenix Vision, the blazing soul fire of the God of the Star Palace is within the Tower of All-Seeing, and the powerful black technology that Tula Xiaye brought out must also be the work of the Star Palace... The head of the most powerful nation in the Mortal World, the Grand Speaker of the City of a Thousand Spells whose purpose is to defend Civilization and fight against calamities, actually knelt before the Destroyer of Civilization.

--Of course we should crush him!

Now that we have grasped the situation and investigated the truth, we can see that...

The third objective was... a decapitation strike!

Kang De's voice was stern and fierce, his thunderous roar echoing through the White Mist World like the voice of a god in the clouds, spreading throughout Tula Xiaye: "Griffin Williams! You orchestrated the plane collision incident, and you also orchestrated the attack on the Tower of All-Seeing. You were the one who wanted to start a war! Why did you do this!"

Before destroying the physical body, first kill its spirit!

Inside the sanctuary, the Grand Speaker, his anger blazing, roared, "Why are your things useless! Didn't you say that any phase activity could be sealed? Why is the Phase Gate still open, Kang De!"

But for some reason, Phaethon was even more panicked than Griffin, roaring, "How should I know! This makes no sense! This makes no sense!"

The Grand Speaker gritted his teeth and once again increased the phase blockade through remote control.

But the next moment his expression changed drastically, because the earth shook violently, and flames shot out and explosions roared everywhere in Tula Xiaye. The dimensional lock stones that had been pre-deployed at various trap nodes all exploded, turning the spellcasters stationed on site into ashes, and billowing smoke and fire rose into the air!

Phaethon exclaimed in horror, "This is impossible!"

The sudden explosion threw the city into chaos once more, but in an instant, Kang De's voice boomed across the city. "Trying to slander me again! But my attack came from the sky, and its power was far greater than this! What does this have to do with me? Griffin, you plotted an attack and harmed the innocent for your own selfish desires! What were you thinking?! Do you dare to come out and confront me!"

Hearing the absurd words of the Cathayan, Griffin was furious, but the crackling sounds above the Tower of All-Seeing completely drowned out the voices of the Star-Bearing Titan, silencing all his words.

Even though the Grand Speaker is an exceptional man, a veteran of countless battles, decisive, and of iron will, and has planned and devised numerous contingency plans for today's important event, he is still at a loss and helpless in the face of the current situation, because he has never seen such a scene before!

What a joke! This is Kang De's supreme skill, learned from the barbarians and inherited from the bandits—"Crush your mother."

Ultimately, it is a skill honed and perfected by foreigners over a century, a skill that stands proudly in the world, capable of beheading presidents and controlling the entire nation of Australia —something a mere chieftain from another world could never imagine!

Under the clear sky, in the city, Kang De spoke unilaterally, and the people listened unilaterally. All the Grand Speaker's sophistry and explanations were silenced—after all, it was a democracy, so he had no say!

"Tula Xiaye! I've come to end the war! I've come to expose the conspiracy!"

"I have no intention of harming or destroying. I came here only to keep innocent people away from the flames of war. It is the evil conspirators who cannot lightly speak of war!"

"So I set foot on your land not as an invasion, but as a last resort! Because if we do nothing, Griffin will use your misplaced anger to declare war on Distant Harbor to achieve his ulterior motives! Do you want what we are experiencing today to actually happen? Do you want Forbidden Spell to destroy your homes and kill your families? If not, then stop the war! Stop Griffin!"

At this point, Kang De made a gesture, and a sacred pillar rose in the distance, unfolding the warp field.

Soldiers in military uniforms, their expressions shifting, leaped out.

They carried their former flags—from the Azure Fleet and the Azure Fleet, once the proudest navies, glorious and brave, but now prisoners and stripped of their honor by the ruthlessness and exploitation of politicians.

"Consider it an effort to avoid the worst possible war, to prevent the most desperate conflict from erupting between our two nations." His Highness Kang De's words echoed in his ears, "Be a hero in your capital."

The squad leaders shouted sternly, "Raise the military flag high—Forward!"

"If the threat from the Star-Bearing Titan wasn't so great, I would have gone myself." Kang De rested for a moment, watching the advancing troops in the distance. "They're about to take a risk."

Through the rapid experiments conducted by Parrot and her team, preliminary analysis results have been obtained regarding this massive Deceleration Field —just as Kang De had predicted, it is limited to physical entities, excluding energy forms.

Due to the core architecture of the spell model, the speed of some projectile spells such as missile, ball, and piercing spells is limited, while ray and area-of-effect spells are not included in this category.

Star-Bearing Titan's Thunderous Divine Arrow is an unstable, ever-changing mass of condensed lightning, belonging to the ray-type magic. Its jet still travels with the speed of lightning and the force to engulf thousands of miles. Under the influence of the slowing field, the combat power of peerless powerhouses like Parrot and A Xing is greatly limited. Even if their reaction speed remains the same, their bodies cannot keep up—thus, the threat of Titan Divine Arrow is greatly enhanced.

Kang De was afraid of death, so he was naturally cautious and dared not step out and become a target.

At this moment, hundreds of small Paradox Crystal, controlled by the Grewind Swarm, surround the entire team, inside and out. In the event of a large-scale spell, the Phase Gate that open in response are the strongest shield, capable of swallowing all powerful attacks into the White Mist World, an impenetrable iron wall.

But the prerequisite is that you can react in time.

If he were to appear now, the consequences would be unpredictable; Kang De would not easily reveal himself until the situation was settled.

"This thing... is really in the way."

Kang De glanced at the Star-Bearing Titan standing atop the Tower of All-Seeing, picked up the microphone, and continued his brainwashing—oh, that's the most impartial and objective broadcast.

"At this very moment, 324 soldiers from Distant Harbor have entered Tula Xiaye —but do not misunderstand, they are unarmed, carrying only defensive shields and armor. Their mission is not to occupy or invade. Distant Harbor's army will not enter any civilian residence, will not harm anyone unprovoked, and will not occupy any official institution or military building!"

"If you don't believe me, then look at their military flags and their uniforms!"

"These brave and fearless soldiers are loyal officers and soldiers of the Council!"

"Navy from the Azure Fleet and the Azure Fleet, they too once possessed glory, but shameful politicians and bureaucrats insulted their souls. The intriguing forces led by Grand Speaker Griffin have been sowing discord for half a year, causing countless brave warriors to fall as prisoners and become disheartened! Even those who surrendered were unwilling to fight for me, until today... For the sake of the motherland and the people, they once again don their armor and take to the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, Malegith, leaning on her halberd, opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "Ugh—"

Kang De slammed down his microphone, glaring at her, and yelled, "What are you doing! Ruining the mood!"

"You used to complain about all that bureaucratic jargon all the time, and now you're the person I hate the most?!"

"What do you know? This is called reasonable beautification!"

After finishing, he picked up the microphone again and continued, "Their mission is simple. First, they need to go to the crash site and retrieve some of the aircraft wreckage as evidence. I will invite heads of state and outstanding alchemists to provide the most irrefutable analysis reports to prove that this 'aircraft' has nothing to do with Distant Harbor, but Council itself!"

"Secondly, we need to go to the Tower of All-Seeing, find and subdue the attackers, confirm their true identities, and then summon Grand Speaker Griffin Williams to answer their questions!"

"Therefore, citizens of Tula Xiaye, watch them closely! They have only two tasks; anyone who tries to stop or harm them is attempting to silence them!"

"If the Star-Bearing Titan attack them, it means the Grand Chancellor has something to hide! If a Council army attacks them, then the commander of that army must be disloyal!"

"Citizens, and soldiers serving in the Arcane Council, if you do not wish for the Forbidden Spell to fall from the sky, then do not interfere with this force's mission—they have come for peace, they are your compatriots, and they were once the most honored soldiers of this nation... And I will certainly do everything in my power to protect this great courage and sacrifice. Anyone who attacks them will be considered an enemy and will be eliminated immediately!"

Amidst these shouts, the smaller groups from the Council factions marched forward in formation.

They were surrendered soldiers, and their situation was becoming increasingly awkward as relations between the Distant Harbor and the Council grew increasingly tense.

But as they moved forward, curious figures moved about in the houses on both sides of the street, and many soldiers were already secretly shedding tears, feeling a fire burning in their chests.

Outsiders, like Parrot, may find Kang De's words melodramatic, pretentious, and empty, simply because they have a clearer perspective.

These officers and soldiers, as surrendered soldiers, some of whom had been trained in the Broken Isles and others who had already served under Kang De, had their actions embellished and their feats amplified by Kang De's words. In this special environment and at this special time, they were moved and unable to control themselves.

They encountered a troop of the Council's army. Their magical armor shone with divine light, and elemental radiance flowed over their weapons. Judging from their equipment and banners, they were likely the elite troops of the Starry Firmament First Division. The Council also had its share of land and sea battles, but even the Azure Fleet was no match for the Starry Firmament First Division.

But at that moment, a group of prisoners of war who had surrendered to Distant Harbor, heads held high, charged toward this elite force.

"--Give Way!"

Kang De's advice to the Tula Xiaye to exercise restraint and not to interfere with or attack the Foreign Legion seems, from a purely linguistic perspective, somewhat wishful thinking and unrealistic.

After all, words alone cannot persuade people.

However, if dozens of Demon God's Eye imbued with the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire hang high in the sky, and the scorching torrents brought by the six Meteor Swords have not yet completely dissipated... then that's a different story.

After all, everyone knows the difference between good and bad.

If an ordinary person spends all their time talking about reason, believing that the world is reasonable and that reason can solve all problems, then everyone will think they are an idiot.

But if a person possesses the power to crush everything at any moment, yet is willing to calmly reason and do good deeds, then he must be the best person in the world, and everyone should be grateful to him.

Good and bad people need to be compared to each other.

If Kang De was a good person, then who was the bad person?

"Griffin has been the Grand Speaker for so many years, and he's cultivated a very good personal image. But to truly expose him, this alone isn't enough... we need to revoke his title."

Malegith, still intently focused on the God of the Star Palace within the Tower of All-Seeing, asked, "How do we seal her?"

Kang De didn't answer, but smiled and glanced at the Star-Bearing Titan at the top of the Tower of All-Seeing.

Then reach out and make a loose grasp.

The Phase Door opened, and Senator Aokexindun's uneasy yet excited figure appeared in Tula Xiaye.

"You must already know what happened," Kang De said calmly. "The masterminds behind the attack on the Azure Fleet by Yilan-Tai'er are from the Star Palace, and now another Star Palace guy has colluded with Griffin. Griffin purged the Tower of All-Seeing, and the councilors are probably all killed. He wants to launch a war against Distant Harbor at the behest of the Star Palace. We can no longer coexist with him, and we must take him down today."

He looked at the captured senator. "So, you're the only core senator left."

Aokexindun replied without hesitation, "General Nixiyasi Syracuse, a war hero, is suitable to be a core councilor! Our family is willing to become His Majesty the Duke's most steadfast partner!"

Kang De pointed to the Tower of All-Seeing: "The hypocritical masks of the 'hypocrites' await our removal, and Senator Aokexindun, as one of the few remaining core members and a strong contender for the next Speaker, how much you can salvage the Council during this unprecedented catastrophe depends on your own efforts."

Aokexindun bowed humbly. "This also requires your support, sir."

Kang De simply waved his hand, Aokexindun took out a short-range communication device, input Magic Power resonance, and began to contact his family.

The Fire Thief turned and said, "Horus, are you ready? We're about to ban your account."

Malegith twirled the halberd in her hand a few times. "What are your plans?"

Kang De remained silent, instead asking, "This Star Palace technology can reduce the power of Earth's weapons by almost half. If it were on Earth, even the American Empire would be in serious trouble. Yet, it's been given to Griffin —what do you think I should feel when I see this stuff?"

What were you thinking?

"My idea is—" Kang De grinned menacingly, "... my DNA—has been activated!"

"Deceleration Field, Star-Bearing Titan... This is amazing! It's mine now!"

He commanded in a deep voice, "Prepare to advance... Everyone, go see the transport captain!"
