Threat Sequence
Pacific Ocean, Tahiti Island.
This is the largest island in the Windward Islands of France Polynesia, hailed by many as "the closest place to paradise." It enjoys a mild, spring-like climate year-round, is rich in resources, and even the locals refer to themselves as "God's people."
I don't know if God will accept it or not.
The scenery here is beautiful, with soft white sand beaches, clear and captivating seas, and a rich variety of marine life.
Therefore, many people like to travel here.
The original inhabitants here are a mixed race of Australoid and Mongolia, belonging to a branch of Polynesia.
However, there are still many Chinese from Shenzhen in the underworld.
The number is as high as 10%.
They controlled most of the local industries, and even Hakka became one of the local languages.
This is a tourist destination, especially for the local Tahiti, who have dark reddish skin, fit figures, and a bold and outgoing personality. They are good at singing and dancing, and because the temperature is high all year round, they dress very lightly!
It's a wonderful place for an encounter.
About 300 nautical miles north of Tahiti lies a large, jagged reef.
It is actually a huge island that is below sea level. Locals call it "the Devil's Claws" because the reefs are scattered and it is difficult for ships to leave safely. In addition, the rising and falling waves make it a no-go zone for ships.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people coming and going here.
However, hidden within these reefs lies a mysterious organization of supernatural beings:
—Hydra!
Hydra, a super-criminal organization on Earth's supernatural side, is a global organization that runs Esper World! It has intricate connections with the Morgan Family, the former leaders of the American Federation.
In reality, it was just a relatively closely connected criminal organization.
It is named after the Hydra because it is the nine-headed serpent in Greek Mythology, which is said to have nine heads, each with its own thoughts.
The Hydra Council also has nine leaders.
They formed a supreme council to decide on major matters within the organization.
The reef base north of Tahiti is one of the Hydra's snake nests.
The deeper you go, the larger the foundation becomes, eventually connecting with an underwater mountain range. Or rather, the protruding reef is an extension of this underwater mountain range, and from a distance, it really looks like the claws of an underwater giant reaching out to the surface.
certainly,
The reefs here have long been hollowed out and transformed into stone structures.
A huge, semi-transparent porthole was opened at the point where this reef is closest to the underwater mountain range. Behind this porthole, it's as if you're in an aquarium, where you can see all kinds of marine life swimming around leisurely, demonstrating the balance of life.
now,
A young man dressed in a smart suit, with his hair neatly styled, fair and smooth skin, and delicate and handsome features, sat cross-legged behind the porthole.
He stared fixedly out the window.
His aura remained completely still, like a delicate wooden puppet.
for a long time,
A tall, bald man, also dressed in a suit, arrived. He had typical Polynesia features, a strong and agile build, and bore a striking resemblance to Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson.
The person before him, however, possessed a more refined and capable air.
It lacks the powerful and sunny feel of Dwayne Johnson; instead, it is filled with a deep and somber atmosphere.
The burly man approached the refined-looking boy and said, "Gangin Fruit's operation has failed."
A refined young man's cool voice rang out. "I guessed it."
The burly man asked, "So what are your plans? To deal with an expedition team, there was only one Tier 6, eight fifth-tier members, and several fourth-tier members. Our team was completely wiped out."
That was a powerful lineup of five Tier 6, nineteen fifth-tier individuals, and over forty fourth-tier individuals! He still didn't understand how those people managed to do it! The refined young man slightly raised his head.
The huge glass in front of him, which offered a direct view of the underwater world, suddenly became murky, with deep darkness flooding in and twinkling starlight. In no time, the floor-to-ceiling glass transformed into a giant mural of the starry sky.
However, that starry sky does not belong to any observed starry sky.
The seemingly random arrangement of stars scattered across the darkness converges into a massive, distorted, and sinister shape.
If you stare for too long,
It's as if your soul will be devoured by it.
Influenced by the thoughts of the refined young man, the starlight on the mural began to rotate, and the tiny starlight, like pixels, quickly transformed into portraits of people.
There are seven in total.
The refined young man looked at the portraits formed by starlight and said, "Menex, the president of Miskatonic University; Ms. Qian Yuzhang, the Shocker of the Wallfacer Organization; Uroshiliun, the abbot of the Brookweika Abbey; Luther, the chief of the Order Union; Hippolyte Ang, the Dragon Slayer of Kassel College; Professor Almoqi, the president of the World Peace and Stability Foundation; and—"
The boy looked at the last of the row of portraits. "Chief Director of Maeve Manufacturing, founder of the Spiritual Research Academy, owner of the Drum Tower Road Tavern, ordinary university graduate: Li Yao."
Ha, just an ordinary college graduate.
The refined young man suddenly laughed. These were the top seven people in the Earth threat sequence given by the "Supreme Wisdom".
The above annotations were also given by the Supreme Wisdom.
Any one of these individuals would be enough to make the entire Esper World beings tremble.
Although Li Yao, the ordinary college student who owned the tavern on Drum Tower Road, was no match for the previous six in terms of strength and influence, in the "Supreme Wisdom's" deduction, he was unmistakably aligned with those big shots.
To be so highly regarded by the Supreme Wisdom
How could a group of Tier 6, fifth, and fourth-tier cannon fodder possibly succeed in assassinating Li Yao? If the assassination were to succeed, it would be an insult to the Supreme Wisdom.
Then their organization can be disbanded.
When the burly man saw the boy materialize the seven figures, he understood what the boy meant and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
The boy said, "I need the power of the entire parliament."
The burly man frowned.
The young man continued, "These seven are currently hindering my lord. Eliminating any one of them would greatly advance our plans. Given your recklessness and foolishness in the early stages, all forces will inevitably increase their protection of Li Yao, making it pointless to continue targeting Li Yao. Besides, your abilities are insufficient to assassinate any of the highest-ranking beings."
Therefore, I request that Parliament give me all its resources. I will plan all subsequent actions.
The burly man frowned even more deeply. "You want to be above the council?"
The boy turned his head, his exquisite face devoid of any expression, revealing a chilling indifference. "Yes."
Before the burly man could say anything more, the boy interrupted him, saying, "Please tell the council: My lord is behind me."
My success is the success of the Lord.
And the Lord's success is your glory.
