Chapter 871 - - 596 appears as a villain_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Zijinghua City, where Qingteng National Defense University is located, is the second largest city in The Splendid Empire.

Due to the Mutants, the guard team’s response was quite swift.

Duge manipulated the waves to stay at the shore for no more than ten minutes before the guard team rushed upstream against the current and arrived at the scene.

Over a dozen helicopters surrounded Duge, with their cabins open.

Fully armed warriors set up sniper rifles, submachine guns, and missile launchers, all aiming at Duge.

No one dared to make a careless move; the towering waves beneath Duge’s feet were terrifying, and everyone was worried that if they killed him, the waves would become uncontrollable and instantly submerge the entire Zijinghua City district, causing irreversible damage.

“I am General Klotho Brave of the Third Defense Guard Team.” On the helicopter directly opposite Duge, a middle-aged man with a general’s insignia and a profound gaze coldly looked at Duge and shouted through a megaphone, “Young man, who are you?”

“General Klotho, my name is Kou Nan; you can call me a Freedom Fighter,” Duge said with a slight smile, looking at the general across from him.

“Kou Nan, what are your demands? We can talk,” Klotho said. “For now, please stop your terrorist actions; otherwise, you will pay a heavy price for your conduct.”

The towering waves caused by Duge created immense chaos,

and his physique was rapidly increasing to match his mighty spiritual power. Within mere moments, his range of perception could already cover more than half of Zijinghua City.

“General Klotho, I fight for freedom,” Duge said with a smile, looking at Klotho. “I have only one goal, to release all the Mutants you have imprisoned and restore their freedom. Otherwise, the entirety of Zijinghua City will be inundated by the flood; I will represent the God Spirit in Judgement of this world, releasing those souls imprisoned by flesh, restoring their freedom…”

“Madman!” Klotho’s expression darkened as he muttered and turned to ask his deputy, “Haven’t you contacted James yet?”

“General, James is on his way; he asked us to buy some time,” the deputy replied, turning the notebook towards General Klotho and said, “General, we found information about Kou Nan. He is a junior at the National Defense University. Ten years ago, his parents died at the hands of Mutants. He joined the National Defense University because he wanted to eliminate all Mutants to avenge his parents…”

“…” Klotho was stunned for a moment. “Are you sure?”

“Certain,” the deputy said, looking towards Duge. “That poor guy over there hates Mutants the most. Yet, he himself has become a Mutant. It must be a mental stimulus that prompted such a knee-jerk reaction. I suspect he’s asking us to release those Mutants to personally dispose of them…”

“Damn it, I despise these madmen,” Klotho cursed angrily, then opened the megaphone again, “Kou Nan, I deeply regret what happened to you, and I know your parents were killed by Mutants.

But look at what you’re doing. Look at the crowd you’ve terrified. Do you know what will happen if the waves you control fall down?

Some might lose husbands because of you, others might lose wives, and some will become orphans just like you… Do you really want such things to happen? You’re straying from your ideals!

Kou Nan, you’re still young, and there’s a long road ahead of you. Promise me, don’t let yourself drown in hatred, alright? Violence doesn’t solve problems, it only exacerbates conflicts…”

Appeal to their emotions, persuade them with reason.

Klotho almost instantly found a breakthrough in Kou Nan’s past life.

If it were the Kou Nan from before, maybe he really would have been moved by his words.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that the core inside Kou Nan’s body had been switched.

Duge couldn’t care less about Mutants.

What he wanted was to quickly rise to fame and control the world.

Duge laughed and lifted both hands upwards. The waves held him and rose another hundred meters.

In the moment the wave rose, he clearly heard the so-called general utter a beautiful greeting, and the crowd in the distance, yet to run far, cried and cursed.

On the highways, there were vehicles desperately fleeing, everyone wanting to escape from the city that was about to be submerged…

The scenes from disaster movies played out right before Duge’s eyes.

The difference was that this time, Duge was playing a super villain.

Even in such a situation, there were reporters who were not afraid of death, wearing life jackets, broadcasting live from helicopters, giving real-time coverage of the catastrophe caused by the newly-emerged S-Class Mutant…

The chaos caused by Duge quickly spread to every corner of the world through the live broadcasts of these reporters.

It all happened too suddenly.

The officials had no time to block the news.

Besides, the towering waves stirred up by Duge were seen by tens of millions, and the news could not be contained.

The royal family of The Splendid Empire ordered Klotho to handle the current catastrophe with the most peaceful means possible, trying to avoid any casualties at all costs.

…

“An SS-Class Mutant emerged in Zijinghua City, wielding a wave powerful enough to destroy a city of tens of millions in an instant.”

“It is said that the newly emerged Mutant aims to rescue the captive leader of the Superpower Alliance, Edward, and his accomplices.”

“The appearance of stronger Mutants represents an unprecedented disaster for mankind.”

“The SS-Class Mutant who controls water is named Kou Nan; his parents were killed by Mutants, and his demand to release the imprisoned Mutants is likely an attempt to personally seek revenge on them…”
