Although their drones could also fly straight like this, they were much larger than this one.
Drones relied on propeller engines to provide forward thrust, allowing them to fly.
But the drone in Xie Yu's hand was far too small—a smooth sphere no bigger than a palm. Just how small could its engine be?
There were no visible jet nozzles either. What kind of power source could make this sphere fly soundlessly while possessing such powerful stealth technology?
This level of technology was already comparable to, or even far beyond, the technological standards of the powerful nations they knew.
If such advanced technology had been revealed, there was no way they could have remained completely unaware of it.
Wasn't the reason superhumans had yet to completely seize power and establish themselves as kings the fact that ordinary human forces still possessed technological weapons?
Not to mention nuclear bombs.
Even heavy artillery, rocket launchers, bombs, and the like posed a threat to low- and mid-level superhumans who lacked sufficient strength.
Sniper rifles and large-scale weapons were also threats to high-level superhumans.
It was precisely because such weapons existed.

The upper ranks of ordinary forces had always restricted those technologies, preventing them from leaking out and falling into the hands of superhumans.
And so, both sides remained wary of each
