"Hey, you should at least say something..."
Bai Cai stood behind Shi Gaofei and urged him anxiously.
Shi Gaofei stared blankly at the detector's screen. Ever since then, Shi Gaofei's expression had been as if he had swallowed a live egg, and a scalding hot one at that, with his facial expressions twitching incessantly.
The complex data displayed on the detector was largely incomprehensible to the teenagers nearby. However, it was clear that the dozens of lines of data that had previously been displayed, each marked with an "A" or "B," were now rapidly decreasing and disappearing… According to Shi Gaofei's earlier explanation, each line of data represented the presence of a superhuman detected by the detector. So, did the sudden decrease in the number of data on the screen mean that the person symbolizing that data had also…
"A lot of people died?" Xu Ershao pressed down on Bai Cai's shoulder and patted her gently. He stood beside Shi Gaofei, looking at Shi Gaofei's face: "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know." Shi Gaofei finally uttered those three words.
"Don't know? How could you not know? Isn't your detector the most advanced?" Bai Cai said, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Baicai, don't worry." Xiao Qing tugged at Baicai, then took a deep breath: "Mr. Shi Gaofei, can you tell us what exactly happened?"
“This…” Shi Gaofei forced a smile, but it looked more like a grimace as he pointed at the detector: “Let me put it this way… Theoretically speaking, my detector is the most advanced currently available. I don’t believe anyone in the world can build a more advanced detector than mine. At least, even if an S-class powerhouse is skilled at concealing their energy fluctuations, my instrument can still detect their energy, perform radiation-based linear image analysis, and ultimately determine their level! No one else can do that right now!”
"Be more specific," Bai Cai said, somewhat dissatisfied, clearly annoyed by Shi Gaofei's self-aggrandizement.
"Just now, you saw these data points. Each data point represents a person, and now, the decrease in data indicates that these people... uh, they're probably dead! There was a chaotic battle over there just now, and many people were killed in the chaos. Their energy fluctuation signals have completely disappeared. Of course... that's not what surprises me. What surprises me is... as I mentioned before, there were two unscathed S-rank guys on the other side. Although I don't know where they came from, and judging from the intensity of their energy, their energy signals fluctuated, probably because they were injured in the battle and their strength was reduced, but they recovered very quickly... I don't know how they did that. So far, the ability to heal physical injuries on their own exists, but to instantly replenish even the loss of strength, I can say that the only human I know in this world with this ability is that guy Chen Xiao! But these two S-ranks can do it too! So, Lao Tian and Prince were badly beaten and completely crippled."
As Shi Gaofei finished speaking, he sensed the impatient glances from the young men and women around him and quickened his pace, saying, "But now, something interesting has happened. Just now, those two S-rank guys suddenly... uh, were killed."
"Who did it?" As expected, the young men took the bait and obediently asked the question.
Shi Gaofei looked at everyone, his lips twitched slightly, then he smiled mysteriously, about to give an answer...
But just then, a voice rang out from behind everyone, answering the question in place of Shi Gaofei.
The voice that answered was: "GOD!"
GOD?
The group of people were stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around!
This is a hidden warehouse. The door behind us is still tightly closed, but there is already a person standing at the door!
From the shadows, the man slowly emerged. He was tall and slender, draped in a thick black robe. A golden mask covered his face, revealing only his long silver hair cascading down his shoulders.
Everyone immediately gasped in surprise, each reacting differently. Xiao Qing and the Takeuchi sisters reacted instantly, the three skilled girls drawing their swords and rushing forward.
But as soon as the three of them made a move, they saw that the person seemed to raise his finger slightly, and Xiao Qing and the Takeuchi sisters were already flying out. When they landed on the ground, their hands were empty, and the three swords had already turned into dust!
Zhang Xiaotao and Baicai were pulled behind Xu Ershao.
Among the crowd, only Ya Ya and Shi Gaofei remained somewhat calm.
Shi Gaofei raised his eyelids to look at the person who had arrived, and forced a smile: "It's you, you've come."
"It's me." The man's voice carried a hint of amusement, and then the eyes behind the golden mask swept over the crowd.
"I remember you." Ya Ya looked at the person: "You're JOKER!"
JOKER nodded, his gaze finally landing on Skofei, and then his tone suddenly became strange: "Did you see it?"
"...I saw it." Shi Gaofei's answer was also somewhat inexplicable.
JOKER seemed to sigh: "I can't believe he actually did it. Although this is the result we've been guessing all along, I'm still very surprised now that it's actually happened."
Shi Gaofei stared at JOKER, his eyes sharp: "Is it really him? Did he really do it? He... he's already..."
“Yes.” JOKER laughed, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.
Shi Gaofei paused for a moment, then raised his eyelids and stared intently at JOKER: "How does it feel to create a GOD with your own hands?"
JOKER hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "It feels good."
...
...
How are you feeling?
Seeing Chen Xiao covered in sweat, Phoenix quickly went up to support him. When she supported Chen Xiao, Phoenix realized that his arms were weak and powerless, as if all his strength had been drained.
On the ground, the bodies of Zhurong and Gonggong were completely intact... truly intact!
Just now, countless dust-like particles in the air miraculously coalesced under Chen Xiao's hands, forming two human bodies that quickly reverted to the appearances of Zhu Rong and Gong Gong! Even the wounds on their bodies completely disappeared!
The only problem is... the two of them were lying there completely naked!
Chen Xiao glanced at Phoenix, and Phoenix immediately took off its outer garment and covered Zhu Rong with it.
"Does this mean they've been resurrected?" The fat man's eyes widened.
"I'm not sure," Chen Xiao said with a wry smile.
...
"Look, do you see these two signals on the screen?" JOKER pointed to the screen.
Shi Gaofei's face suddenly turned ashen, and he said coldly, "Nonsense, of course I saw it!"
"Do you know what the real difference is between God and man? It's not 'destruction'." JOKER's tone was somewhat profound: "Destroying something is easy. With weapons, with bombs, with any force, you can destroy something, pulverize it... Killing a life is just as easy! But... creation is the true, unique power belonging to 'God'! You should know this very well, Skofei!"
Shi Gaofei's expression completely collapsed: "Of course! Even with the most advanced technology that humanity currently possesses, we cannot create life! We cannot even create a single virus!"
He glanced at the young people around him and sighed, “Don’t be surprised, it’s true! Humans have never been able to create life! Normal reproduction doesn’t count! Creating life is impossible! Not even the tiniest virus, or even a single cell… we can’t create it! You might say that some crazy scientists might create new viruses or something in the lab. I’m telling you, that does happen, but… that’s not true ‘creation,’ it’s ‘synthesis’! Using existing cells and other viruses, through special biotechnology, they modify and mutate them to create something new. Simply put, it’s not creation, it’s ‘modification’! Even now, humans haven’t been able to truly create a single life form. That’s why many top scientists still believe in God.”
