"The source of all fear is insufficient firepower!"
This was one of the mottos upheld by the many scholars of Super Seminary during the Deno era.
Back then, the Deno Civilization sought to express its reverence for the god they respected most: "Space," the creator of Super Seminary.
They also wanted to prove that they were the most worthy heirs to his knowledge.
The two sides could be said to have engaged in an almost frenzied arms race.
Among their pursuits, Super Soldiers and genetic engineering were top priorities.
If you created the strongest spear today, I'd create the strongest shield tomorrow.
The two civilizations were almost pathologically obsessed with which of them could create the stronger Super Soldier.
Yet when it came to researching firepower, both sides arrived at the same conclusion.
They should pursue the greatest destructive power. But what exactly counted as the greatest destructive power?
Both sides had spent a long time considering the question.
Should they take a biological approach and create Super Soldiers with powerful biochemical abilities? Or should they take an energy-based approach and create Super Soldiers focused purely on explosive force?
Both sides wanted to surpass the other, and each waited for a chance to steal the other's research and use it to pull ahead.
In the end, the Nuoxing Civilization incorporated its theories into its design for a Main God.
It created a god with the strongest decapitation abilities in the universe at the time, one capable of destroying an entire planet with a single strike—a god made to slay gods.
"The Nuoxing War God!"
As for the Dexing Civilization, its research into the Main God Galaxy Power had established a theoretical basis.
It had intended to create a Super Soldier capable of controlling lightning.
But it didn't invest much more effort in the research that followed.
After creating its Main God, it ultimately abandoned the power of lightning.
Instead, it pursued the speed of lightning.
Thus it created the Main God's deputy god, the Dexing Spear.
In the end, it was the Lieyang Civilization that, inspired by the sun and with Super Seminary's help, developed the Main God with the greatest destructive power in the universe.
"The Light of the Sun."
But the sun wasn't the only source of immense destructive power. Lightning was, too.
Now, as Ajie watched the divine lightning from the heavens fade,
he saw the several-meter-deep, charred hole in the ground.
He couldn't help recalling the research on this subject from his days at Super Seminary.
He also understood that what Ashe was showing him wasn't simply her strength in battle.
She was demonstrating her value as a Super Soldier.
Though her Super Gene had only just awakened, Ashe was already a First Generation Super Soldier with such destructive power.
If she reached her full potential,
just how powerful might she become?
Not to mention, as a First Generation Super Soldier,
she already had a specialized weapon—or, more likely, authorization to access the corresponding arsenal.
Aside from the Super Gene that let her control lightning,
judging by how she had summoned her weapon just now, her Super Gene might also have been optimized and designed to work with wormholes.
And if he thought bigger, she might even possess other specialized Super Genes created to fight gods, such as the God-Slaying Power.
After all, judging by the abilities Ashe had shown, her Super Gene might well have been designed by some ancient God-Making Civilization to create a Main God.
A Super Soldier like her, a god like her, was someone Super Seminary—and Earth—could absolutely not afford to let slip away.
His expression turning solemn, Ajie gazed down at Ashe, who stood below with her Naginata in hand and a smile on her face, and thought.
Watching the lightning flash along the blade of Ashe's Naginata,
Ajie felt that their negotiations with Ashe ought to become a little more formal!
