BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 - Divided
Chapter 186: Divided
“What the hell was that?”
“Was that an Atlantean?”
“What did he say? Four hundred million lives for the space cannon?”
“Can’t you understand? It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. That man is an Atlantean, and we’re all at his mercy!”
“Why did he say we had one week?”
“We’ll be dead after that! No, we’ll all turn into fish! We’ll have to live in the deep ocean and serve Atlantis for the rest of our lives! Isn’t that so? I heard him correctly, right? If I misunderstood him, please give me another explanation!”
“That’s what I heard, too! I don’t want that to happen! I don’t want to live in the ocean! No!”
“What do they want? The space cannon? Give it to them! Surely, it’s not as valuable as four hundred million lives!”
“I agree! Mr. Soan, it’s not an outrageous request. Since we’re done with the space cannon, we can let them have it!”
“That’s right! Let them have the space cannon, and we’ll be safe! Please, Mr. Soan!”
...
The whole world heard that conversation. Over 90% of the people believed in the existence of Atlantis now.
However, there would always be a small fraction of people who wanted to be different from everybody else.
“That can’t be true! It must be one of Moon’s tricks.”
“Atlantis? I don’t buy it! It’s a civilization that only exists in legends! How can it be anywhere on Earth?!”
“I agree. If it’s so powerful, why was it destroyed in the first place? Why did it sink to the bottom of the ocean? It doesn’t make any sense!”
“If you ask me, it’s one of Moon’s tricks! They want to clean their reputation, so they came up with some animation and tried to fool us!”
...
Seeing those idiotic comments, Moonians, Hosians, Padaskians, and Pantherese retorted.
“What’s wrong with you people? Why would Moon lie to you? What could they possibly get out of that?”
“You people are unbelievable. You’re questioning everybody. Is there something you actually believe?”
“Fine! Everything is fake, and you’re all correct! Keep at it, and don’t believe in anyone or anything! I can’t believe how vicious and stupid you all are!”
“I’m so mad! Go to hell, you idiots!”
...
“Does Atlantis really exist? Did that really happen?”
“I don’t know, but I think it’s true!”
“Me too! Look at me. The scales are real. You can’t argue with that, can you?”
“Yes, I believe Atlantis exists!”
“Mr. Soan, can you give us an explanation?”
...
The Moonian president, Henry, Gordon, and Warren were also looking at Himmel Soan in confusion. They desperately wanted an answer.
“Mr. Soan, what’s…”
Himmel Soan didn’t try to hide anything. Without switching off the camera, he sat down on his chair, facing the entire world.
He had to face the world, after all.
“Yes, that was someone from Atlantis.”
The answer surprised the president and everybody else.
Himmel Soan’s live stream was the only broadcast in the world. Because of Roams, it was cut off for a moment, and all the other screens had shut down when the robot disappeared.
At least eight billion people were watching Himmel Soan now.
“It really is Atlantis! Seriously?”
“I’m not dreaming, am I?”
“The civilization that’s supposed to exist only in legends actually is here on Earth!”
“I don’t believe it!”
“Then you’re the biggest idiot! Look at your scales! How do you explain them? You’re going to turn into fish! Don’t you see that?”
“That’s right. How do you explain the scales if it’s not the work of the Atlanteans?”
“That person was loud and clear when he said he came from Atlantis. He’s controlling the lives of four hundred million people!”
...
Himmel Soan nodded as he read the comments.
“Yes. Atlantis does exist. If you want to know the truth, I’ll give it to you.”
Countless bullet comments filled the screen before he could go on.
“What do they want?”
“Can we defeat Atlantis?”
“What’s their ultimate goal?”
“Atlantis wants our space cannon. Why? Are we expecting more meteorites?”
“Are they going to use it on us?”
“Mr. Soan, was that explosion caused by Atlantis or your potion? Can you be more specific?”
Himmel Soan said, “Their ultimate goal is to make it to the sixth age, which will widen their prospects. They’ll no longer be bound to Earth. They can leave this planet and go to any other planet in the surrounding galaxies. It’s perfectly attainable with sixth-age technology.”
Henry asked, “What will happen after they collect enough wishing power?”
“They’ll reach the next age. We’re in the fourth age now, and they’re in the fifth. Once they collect enough wishing power, they’ll reach the sixth age. They want the space cannon because of its internal structure, which contains technology of the sixth or even the seventh age. Studying the space cannon thoroughly will be very helpful for them!”
Many people laughed at that explanation.
“Fourth, fifth, and sixth age? Are we in a sci-fi movie now? I only have some scales. That doesn’t sound too advanced a technology. I can’t see why it is related to the breakthrough you’re talking about.”
“That’s right. If that technology can take them out of the galaxy, then leaving the galaxy is too easy!”
“You must be one of the idiots that insisted on kneeling at the ocean earlier. You didn’t listen to Mr. Soan before, and you’re still questioning him. Mr. Soan, just let them die! They’re not worth saving!”
