Hilo City Hall.
As the core of the entire city, the city government is almost a symbol of Hiro City. It perfectly blends the styles of science and magic. The technologically advanced building floats in the air in defiance of the laws of physics. It is divided into five floors, and countless office workers gather in this building.
Everything is very organized.
The problem is that right now... no one is at work.
Without exception, they all just sat in their seats blankly, including a small number of Hiro citizens who came to the city government, all of whom had no expression on their faces.
In an instant.
Swish! The wind blew by, and with a hazy light, a figure dressed in black appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the city government. Almost at the same time, the citizens of Hilo at the ticket booth on the first floor turned around and stared at the black figure blankly, his lips moving slightly:
"How is it? How is your recovery?"
"snort!"
Mo Guang snorted coldly, his voice sounding a little shrill: "It's okay, the wound has been healed, it won't affect my next battle."
"... Then, are you still there?"
Boom!!!
Before the citizen of Hiro could finish his words, Mo Guang's right hand suddenly became illusory and slashed across the opponent's bottleneck like a sickle. Accompanied by a flash of blood shooting into the sky, the poor citizen of Hiro died on the spot, his head fell to the ground, and his blood splattered in the solemn and dignified city hall.
Almost at the same time, the customer service lady at the front desk raised her head and said:
"It seems it's gone."
Swish! Before she finished her words, the customer service lady suffered the same fate as the citizens of Hilo.
"Mo Guang."
"It seems that you haven't figured out your position yet."
“… .!!!”
The third voice was not spoken by anyone else in city government.
It’s Mo Guang himself.
At this moment, his face seemed to be divided into two, one half was filled with an indescribable hideousness, and the other half was filled with a mocking smile.
“Don’t forget who gave you everything you have.”
"I haven't yet investigated you for your reckless behavior on Emperor Island, which resulted in you missing the best opportunity to kill the Ten Commandments."
"Don't get too cocky."
"As long as I want, you can't escape from my grasp."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Mo Guang's face returned to normal. The next second, the terrifying telekinesis around Mo Guang instantly burst out, almost destroying the entire lobby on the first floor of the city government. As a result, countless people were affected and died or seriously injured.
However, what was strange was that even so, no one screamed.
Then, a citizen of Hero who was lying in a pool of blood slowly opened his mouth. Although blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth, he still struggled to speak:
"alright."
"Come up and meet me on the third floor."
After saying this, the citizen of Hilo breathed his last.
Looking at the citizens of Hilo lying in a pool of blood, even though Mo Guang himself had created such a scene, he still felt a sense of terror and fear.
"... ... ... "
Man of a thousand faces.
The real mastermind behind Hiro City, the architect of this experiment, and also the person with the strongest psychic ability.
There's just one thing that Mo Guang still doesn't understand.
Logically speaking, the Thousand Faces Man has no way of controlling superheroes. The reason is unclear, but that is the fact. Yet, he can control himself.
Why
Was it because he was originally designed to be a civilian as an experimental subject? But whether it was a civilian, a hero, or a criminal, weren't they all experimental subjects
Even now, with the power of the Ten Commandments and such powerful telekinesis, he still couldn't escape the mental control of the Thousand Faces Man.
Thinking of this, Mo Guang couldn't help but feel a little more violent in his heart, and his lower body was slightly painful. Just as the Thousand Faces Man said, his wound was not healed, it was just filled up. The missing part had not grown back, and the existing technology could not make it grow back.
After all, the injury was too serious.
Two shots in succession.
Two skills.
This is outrageous.
But... it doesn't matter, as long as I can get the remaining enhanced regeneration rings, I can grow back.
Thinking of the "big plan" that the Thousand Faces Man had explained to him before, Mo Guang couldn't help but smile. Then his figure flashed, and the next second he appeared in the mayor's office on the third floor of the city government. There, Mayor Brad was sitting in his office chair, overlooking the entire city of Hiro.
"It won't be long before the superheroes arrive."
"The super criminals are almost ready to mobilize."
"very good."
"The city of Hilo will see his final value."
Brad looked into the distance with a satisfied smile on his face: "Do you know why the city of Hilo can maintain its own balance between the empire and the kingdom?"
"... because of the existence of superheroes and super criminals."
"Their abilities cannot be underestimated in the empire and kingdom."
"Yes and no."
Brad smiled slightly: "You're right. The existence of superpowers is indeed the reason why the two countries are afraid of Hero City, but it's not the only reason. Because if a war really breaks out, the Empire can just launch an intercontinental nuclear missile and Hero City will be finished."
"What both countries value is the individual combat capability brought by super capabilities."
"One of the two countries has nuclear weapons, and the other has forbidden spells. Both are ice domes of mass destruction. This has suppressed the war between the two countries. In recent years, the scale of the war between the two countries has not only not expanded, but has become smaller. It has become an elite war that relies heavily on the combat capabilities of individual soldiers."
"And in this war, super powers are the best thing."
"The stronger the superpower, the more important it is."
"That's why the two countries allowed the existence of Hiro City."
“This is war money.”
Brad spread his hands, his smile growing wider: "The mission of Hero City ends here. On the one hand, I will disclose the research and development data of super powers to the two countries in accordance with the agreement when Hero City was established. On the other hand, the power of the Ten Commandments will become my ultimate weapon."
"Ever since I found the child in the ruins, discovered the emperor's flesh and blood, and obtained the ten rings, I have been planning for this day."
“Now it’s finally over.”
"The Ten Commandments are the nuclear weapons and forbidden spells in the elite war. They will bring me countless wealth."
“Countless rights.”
"It's wonderful, isn't it?"
“… ... ... .”
Mo Guang did not reply, but just silently looked at Brad's back. To be honest, he didn't even know whether this was the Thousand Faces Man's true body or he was controlling another body. As for the so-called great plan he mentioned, Mo Guang actually only cared about one thing:
"Are you sure that the Emperor's flesh and blood can allow ordinary people to gain the power of the Ten Commandments?"
"What? Do you feel a sense of crisis?"
Brad glanced at the magic light and smiled: "Don't worry, although it can be copied, the power is much weaker, but it is enough to surpass other super powers. The only thing that bothered me before was that ordinary people were not qualified to use their abilities, but now this problem has been solved."
"Also, Emperor Flesh and Blood is just my personal name for it."
"If you must give Him a name."
“You can call Him… ..”
"... ..Ngulla."
