Becoming a God

Lu Bai's voice not only resonated in the minds of these Rebel Army, but also among the members of City Direct Military 'Team One.

"What face do you expect me to give you?"

"I think you're just another lackey of the City Guild."

Why should we listen to you?

The Rebel Army below were very unfriendly.

After all, the fact that Lu Bai could stand in the air clearly meant that he was a fighter who had preserved his abilities, so these Rebel Army couldn't possibly believe that Lu Bai was on their side.

City Direct Military, who was hiding behind the building's cover, recognized Lu Bai's identity, but he didn't suspect that their ability failure was related to Lu Bai. He was just a little curious as to why this vice- Captain of the Team Ten would be here.

Why should I listen to you?

Lu Bai smiled casually and added, "I'm strong enough that even if all of you were tied together, you couldn't possibly fight me. Is that reason enough?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang raised his gun high. "Such arrogance! If you have the guts, kill us all! Don't even think about making us bow down again!"

"Right!"

"That's right."

"Commander Zhang is right!"

The Rebel Army present echoed the sentiments, creating a scene filled with a sense of heroic pride.

Seeing this, the blond-haired middle-aged man hiding behind the building's bunker asked in the squad's dedicated communication channel, "Can anyone contact Deputy Captain Lu and ask him to find a way to stall for time? The second squadron and the exoskeleton unit are already on their way here."

There was a moment of silence on the squadron's dedicated communication channel before the woman with the beauty mark came through. "I don't know. I heard that this Deputy Captain Lu doesn't like socializing, and not many people in City Direct Military have his contact information. But Captain, you don't need to worry. He's a deputy captain after all; he should know what to do..."

The woman with the beauty mark on her tear, who was still on the second floor, hadn't finished speaking when Lu Bai's next words made her lose her composure.

"Aren't you wondering why those City Direct Military can't use their abilities anymore?"

Lu Bai's meaningful rhetorical question was addressed to the Rebel Army, but it caused all the City Direct Military hiding behind the buildings, including the blond-haired middle-aged man, to widen their eyes in surprise.

Although it's hard to believe, the subtext of that statement is quite obvious.

Even the Rebel Army, who had been shouting that they would rather die than surrender, fell into a deathly silence.

Dude, which side are you on?

This question arose simultaneously in the minds of both City Direct Military and the Rebel Army.

"So let's stop. Let's not allow any more unnecessary casualties to increase."

Commander Zhang's thoughts are in turmoil.

He felt that Lu Bai's actions were genuinely for the good of ordinary people like them.

The Rebel Army present all turned their gazes to him, clearly waiting for his reply.

Commander Zhang took a deep breath, but finally shook his head. "You're different from the lackeys of the City Association. Perhaps you really are thinking of us, but allow me to refuse."

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the charred corpses. "So many brothers' blood cannot be shed in vain, so many people cannot die for nothing! Even if I die, I will..."

His tone grew increasingly impassioned, and coupled with his expression, it became incredibly inflammatory.

This is definitely a talent.

Put yourself in his shoes. If Lu Bai were just an ordinary person from the lower class, after hearing his appeal, he would probably want to bring his own food and follow him.

No wonder he was able to raise a Rebel Army despite not being very bright.

It's a pity.

Lu Bai didn't give him another chance to incite his emotions. He put his hands together and formed a strange hand seal.

Upon noticing this action, the blond middle-aged man's eyes lit up with envy.

He recognized it as one of his own abilities, and he was somewhat incredulous. "Is this fake? The side effects of this ability aren't..."

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Countless streams of emerald green light shot out from behind Lu Bai.

As if possessing their own consciousness, streaks of emerald green light actively burrowed into the corpses on the ground.

Countless emerald green streaks of light were not limited to the area in front of them; many more shot towards the distance, their activity covering the entire Forward Base and surrounding areas.

"What is this?" Commander Zhang blurted out instinctively.

Perhaps because the bright green color always represents warmth, life, and growth, making people feel no aggression, the Rebel Army present witnessed this amazing scene without any panic.

That is indeed the case.

A beam of light fell into the body of the Rebel Army whose heart had been pierced by a bullet. Immediately afterward, granulation tissue rapidly grew from the bloody hole in the corpse's chest until it healed.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of countless people, the already cold corpse gradually regained its temperature, twitched twice, and then sat up directly from the ground.

The resurrected Rebel Army scratched his head, looking dazed as if he had just woken up. "I... I wasn't shot, was I?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his chest.

This is not an isolated case.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that every corpse, regardless of whether they were members of the Rebel Army or the city council, and whatever their identity, was enveloped in a stream of shimmering green light.

Even charred blocks, almost unrecognizable from being melted by lava, are rapidly recovering.

More and more resurrected people rose from the ground, making the scene increasingly chaotic.

Those who witnessed the entire process were petrified, forgetting to even blink.

Incidentally, when Lu Bai appeared to ask both sides to give him face, he had already extended the coverage of his [Mindstream Network] ability to the entire Forward Base.

In other words, his actions were actually witnessed by tens of millions of people in and around the Forward Base.

Those who were resurrected under the effect of the [Reincarnation Technique] also learned the cause and effect.

This brought the full-scale riot, which should have required immense casualties to quell, to an abrupt end.

The two sides, who were locked in a standoff or even exchanging fire just a moment ago, both chose to stop and quietly watch this performance that could only be described as a miracle.

In front of the building housing the Combat Command Center.

"Can we stop now? Although the blood lost can't be replenished, at least no one has died."

Lu Bai maintained his hand seal posture, and with countless shimmering green lights behind him, he gave the illusion of being a savior.

Without experiencing death, it's hard to imagine the weight of life.

Many of the resurrected Rebel Army didn't know how to express their gratitude, and in their haste, they kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Bai.

Under these circumstances, no matter how persuasive Commander Zhang's speech was, no one would follow him to fight against Lu Bai, not to mention that Commander Zhang himself had already given up the idea of fighting to the death.
