Military Department Meeting

Regarding the matter of the Witch God, Gu Ding also had the Sea Emperor inform Liliath and Bigge, asking them to help find a solution. As for Gu Ding himself, he slowly refined the potion while pondering a countermeasure.

Unbeknownst to Gu Ding and his two companions, on the very night they disappeared, a video was being viewed like crazy in the sky.

The person in that video was one of his team members, Bigge. The video showed Bigge hunting a Golden Crocodile and dismembering it with his bare hands, as if slicing through tofu.

The Federal Government and military even took out this video and spent an entire night studying it.

"How did this big guy do that? That's Eighth Order Gene Body beast, Golden Crocodile, one of the best in terms of defense among Gene Beast. He cut it like it was tofu..." A Military Department General was puzzled.

"His Source Power has special attributes, capable of tearing targets apart, and he has extremely strong control over Source Power." As a swordsman himself, Sharp could clearly tell that his opponent was also a top-notch swordsman. "In some ways, he is even no less skilled than me."

"The fact that he was able to instantly defeat the Golden Crocodile, Eighth Order Gene Body, in the water indicates that he is at least at the peak of the Ninth-Order Gene Body, and possibly even the Tenth-Order Gene Body. However, it seems that apart from his superb swordsmanship and powerful strength, he has not shown any other abilities. Therefore, we cannot be sure what abilities he possesses, nor can we determine his true Combat Strength."

"Both the man-made videos here and the surveillance footage at the port show that this guy has joined Gu Ding's team." Ever since the King told him that he didn't know Gu Ding well enough, Sharp had been studying this newcomer. "You've all probably heard of Gu Ding. A martial arts expert, a top-tier hacker, he's extremely daring and reckless. Compared to those established guys who already have some wealth, this kind of newcomer is more dangerous because nobody knows what he's capable of."

"His team currently has two other members. One is Bigge, whom we just saw, with amazing combat power. The other is a gunsmith named Liliath. This girl has fought against our people, and the relevant personnel have commented that she is currently the most promising new gunsmith in the entire Dragon Ascension Empire, but it cannot be ruled out that she has other abilities."

"Besides that, his spaceship is a first-generation Grey Eagle, equipped with two Antimatter Cannons..."

"Sharp, are you sure you want to waste your time on this newcomer?" Wendell interrupted Sharp expressionlessly. Ever since he lost one of his men recently, he hadn't been in a good mood. "I think finding out about that Masked Man is the most important thing right now. That guy killed one of our military generals!"

"Wendell, we'll talk about the Masked Man later. We're all working overtime today to discuss the big guy in the video," a tall, Red-haired Woman suddenly said.

Surprisingly, Wendell seemed somewhat wary of her and didn't say anything more. <ian's lips curled up, "I like strong men who can cook..."

Sharp completely ignored her last sentence and continued explaining about Gu Ding.

"Yesterday, after the Gu Ding Team participated in this Food Festival, the port's surveillance footage showed that they left the Dilis Star. But strangely, according to observations by local residents using telescopes, their spaceship vanished into thin air," Sharp said, pulling up another video.

The video was taken by an amateur astronomer near the port using his home telescope. He simply liked the Gu Ding Grey Eagle and wanted to film the entire flight of the Flying Eagle.

The video quickly showed the Grey Eagle successfully taking off, leaving the atmosphere of Dilisies, and gradually shrinking in size. But suddenly, the spaceship disappeared from the screen. The camera panned around a few times, searching left and right, but the Grey Eagle was still nowhere to be seen.

"Just vanished into thin air like that?" The Red-haired Woman seemed somewhat disappointed.

"What do you all think will happen?" Sharp asked, looking at the others present.

"We didn't see the appearance of a wormhole, nor did we see the spaceship gathering energy to prepare for a space jump..." An admiral frowned. "It doesn't look like it was hit by anything."

"This video, when slowed down a hundred times, also has the same problem—it just disappears into thin air," Sharp said, slowing down the video and playing it again.

"Could it be that some ancient ruins nearby opened and sucked them in?" someone suggested.

"Probably not. Other ships that took off around the same time as the Grey Eagle didn't encounter this problem." Sharp shook his head; he had already reviewed all the information about the incident beforehand.

"It's possible that a spatial rift appeared at that time, and they fell into it."

"There is no sign of a spatial rift. Even if a spatial rift heals instantly, it would leave behind residual spatial fluctuations. However, we have already sent people to investigate the area, and no spatial fluctuations have been found." Sharp shook his head again, denying the answer.

"Could it be a Time Reversal?" the Red-haired Woman suddenly suggested. "Although this phenomenon is rare, it has happened before. It's possible that they could have entered as a variable."

"That's actually quite possible!" Sharp was silent for a moment, searching his mind for various information about Time Reversal. He felt that this might be the only answer that could be reasonably explained.

"What a lucky bunch. They might be receiving a warm welcome from ancient humans and even bring back some of the legacy of their ancient civilization," a federal general murmured.

However, what the military personnel didn't know was that while their guess about Time Reversal was entirely correct, their guess about Gu Ding's predicament was completely wrong. Gu Ding and his group not only failed to receive hospitality from the ancient humans, but also encountered the terrifying Medieval Witch Clan, their lives hanging by a thread.

Gu Ding was still refining his potion, while Arthas, who had obtained the potion materials from him, was in his tent tinkering with the Cell Enhancer he had learned from Gu Ding.

His first attempt at refining a cell enhancer not only failed but also produced a minor explosion that nearly blew the tent away. However, with the second bottle, he successfully refined a Superior Quality Cell Enhancer; the third, Ultimate Quality. And then, with the fourth bottle, he successfully refined Perfect Quality Cell Enhancer ...
