He quickly divided the holographic image into dozens of small windows, retrieved and analyzed every detail of the mural.
A hint of approval flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
As expected of the Child Emperor, he recovered from the huge impact in such a short time and immediately entered battle mode.
“That’s right.” Lin Mo confirmed his deduction. “Therefore, there are two urgent matters.”
“First,” Child Emperor immediately took over the conversation, without even turning around, his attention entirely focused on the screen in front of him.
His brain was in full wartime mode, and his thinking speed was astonishing.
"Completely eradicate the Eccentrics Association."
"This is not only to eliminate the immediate threat, but also to better deal with the crisis to come, and... we need a survivor, a survivor who is related to the [gods]."
"And the second one?" Lin Mo asked, wanting to see how deep the boy's thoughts could go.
“Second,” Tong Di’s expression turned extremely serious. He stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked directly at Lin Mo.
"Conduct the highest priority analysis on the [deity] itself."
He stretched out his finger and drew a huge frame diagram in the air.
“We need to develop entirely new detection equipment to capture and identify the unique energy responses or mental fluctuations of ‘gods’.”
"Furthermore, we need to develop targeted mental defense technologies; the contamination effect of that spiral symbol must be broken!"
The more Tong Di spoke, the calmer his mind became. At this moment, he was no longer afraid or flustered; on the contrary, he became somewhat excited.
"I need the assistance of all the top psychologists and neuroscientists in the association, otherwise our heroes might not even have a chance to fight back before they suffer a mental breakdown."
"We also need to analyze the nature of its power. If we can crack this technology, perhaps... we can not only find a way to subdue monsters, but even turn it around and use it against them!"
Lin Mo listened quietly and nodded.
Tong Di's analysis had far exceeded his expectations.
He wasn't just thinking about how to defend, but also how to counterattack and turn the enemy's weapons into his own.
"Your idea is very good."
Lin Mo's gaze never left the holographic projection as he continued:
"Regarding the [gods], based on my investigation underground and analysis of some unusual individuals, I have discovered a pattern."
Lin Mo's voice became even lower, "This [god] doesn't seem to be able to easily descend directly into this world in his physical form."
"It seems that it can only indirectly access the world through others."
These words are half true and half false.
Half of it was his summary based on the original comic's plot, and the other half was his on-the-spot editing to make it all sound more convincing.
The only information available underground comes from the few snippets Little King recorded in the game.
But he had read the original work and knew that the "gods" had never personally taken action.
It's a pity... he only finished watching the Garou arc.
The main reason is that ONE's updates are too slow. He wanted to save up more to read later, but he didn't expect to be transported to another world.
If we can see the later parts of the story, we might learn more about the gods.
Just as Lin Mo was feeling regretful about the lack of information, his words stirred up a huge wave in Tong Di's heart.
Analysis of unusual individuals?
Could it be that... Mr. KING already knew about the existence of the "god" and had been secretly investigating and even fighting against Him for a long time?
In an instant, countless fragments of past intelligence and countless seemingly illogical details flashed through Child Emperor's mind.
Finally, with a "click," they were perfectly pieced together, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
If he remembers correctly, Mr. KING only became known to the public after he instantly killed the Dragon-level disaster "Vaccine Man" with one blow.
From then on, he frequently entered and exited the uninhabited areas of Z City!
The association's records show that he goes there several times a month! Isn't that the Monster Association's headquarters, and also the location of this underground altar?
All the doubts of the past suddenly became clear at this moment.
He finally understood why KING always appeared at the most crucial moment and in the most crucial place;
Why did he remain unfazed even when facing enemies powerful enough to destroy the city?
Why are his eyes always so deep, as if he already knows the ending of everything?
Because what he carries on his shoulders, what he gazes upon, is no longer the Monster Association that occupies the surface of the earth, but that which lies hidden deep within, overlooking the entire world...
Chapter 128 Child Emperor: As expected of Mr. King!
The heartbeat of the "Emperor Engine" had subsided at some point.
Instead, it was Child Emperor's own heart that was pounding violently with awe and shock.
“Mr. KING…” A heavy sigh escaped from Tong Di’s small body, the emotions contained within were extremely complex.
"When...did you find out about all this?"
His tone carried a hint of heartfelt reverence.
If his previous assessment of KING's strength was limited to "powerful," then...
Now, he finally realized how transcendent and lonely Mr. KING, who bears the title of "the strongest man on earth," truly is!
He has been guarding the truth of this world all by himself, bearing unimaginable pressure on ordinary people!
Lin Mo felt a little strange seeing Tong Di suddenly change the subject and look at him with an almost reverent gaze.
What's wrong with this child? Wasn't he just nervously analyzing data? Why is he suddenly looking at me like that?
And isn't this obvious?
Although I only recently remembered it, I guess it's something I just found out about?
“When I stepped into that altar and saw the murals,” Lin Mo answered very honestly.
"I see..." Child Emperor nodded slowly, it was unclear whether he had actually heard what was said.
However, Lin Mo's honest answer was automatically deconstructed into a completely different version in Tong Di's mind.
"So it was at that time that Mr. King decided to reveal the tip of the iceberg of the truth to me?" Child Emperor's heart was filled with shock.
His gaze gradually became extremely solemn, and his original plan underwent another refinement in his mind.
He believes that King is simply using a dismissive approach to cover up the long battle that has already begun.
This humility earned his even greater respect.
"According to intelligence, I discovered that there is a Dragon-level executive in the Monster Association—'Homeless Emperor'. The source of his abilities is unknown, but it is very likely that they were bestowed by God."
Lin Mo ignored the complex emotions swirling within Tong Di's heart. He pointed to one of the data windows and continued:
"This is consistent with our deduction; his features are the most obvious."
"Therefore, our primary objective is to capture him alive. He is the key to unlocking all the mysteries."
“Homeless Emperor…” Child Emperor repeated softly, then said to Lin Mo, “I understand, Uncle King.”
Looking at Tong Di's tense and serious little face, Lin Mo felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive.
His original intention was to use Child Emperor to sound the alarm for the association, not to put such heavy pressure on a child.
He couldn't help but smile and reached out to ruffle Tong Di's hair like an elder, but then he felt it was inappropriate and withdrew his hand halfway through.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. And if I can't, there's always Bald Cape Man, so..."
He wanted to crack a joke to ease the tension.
In his mind, the bald-headed demon king was the ultimate insurance, a true "sky-high" figure who could "hold up the sky even if it collapsed".
For him, this statement was simply a statement of fact.
However, this seemingly normal statement instantly ignited Child Emperor's emotions.
"Please stop making jokes like that!"
Tong Di suddenly raised his head and retorted with utmost seriousness, his voice even becoming somewhat shrill with excitement.
His fists were clenched, and his eyes gleamed with a complex light.
“Mr. King, your greatness is unparalleled! How can... how can you place your hopes on others?”
"The bald cape-wearing hero may indeed be very strong, but you are facing an enemy from another dimension!"
"You have been bearing this all alone. Now, please allow me, and please allow the rest of the Hero Association to share this burden with you!"
His face flushed red, and he continued:
"Besides, I'm an S-class hero, aren't I? Protecting the world is my duty! I can't just watch you face that kind of crisis alone!"
Lin Mo was caught off guard by Tong Di's sudden and intense reaction, and was completely stunned.
He hadn't expected that his honest words would elicit such a strong reaction from the child.
Seeing that Tong Di's eyes were slightly red from excitement, he had no choice but to obediently shut his mouth and swallow back all the words he wanted to say.
Okay, it seems this topic is off-limits.
To avoid an awkward situation, Lin Mo cleared his throat and steered the conversation in another direction:
"Well... let's not talk about this anymore, the atmosphere is too heavy."
"By the way, how's the investigation going with that robot organization I mentioned before? Any new developments?"
Tong Di realized that he had lost his composure just now. He took a deep breath, forcibly calmed his agitated emotions, and regained his calm and genius demeanor.
He shook his head, a look of solemnity and helplessness on his face.
“Ever since you took down one of their secret hideouts last time, Uncle KING, the association and I have been working together to conduct a thorough search of abandoned industrial areas, underground facilities and other areas in various cities.”
As he spoke, he swiped his finger in the air, and several file windows popped up, filled with dense reports and data.
"Our operation has indeed yielded some results. We have successively eliminated three robot organizations with different codenames and obtained some data about their organizations."
"Unfortunately, these are just peripheral production plants and experimental bases, and they have not touched the core, nor have they provided any data about the mastermind behind the scenes."
