Chapter 873 - - 597 Let’s Fight for Freedom (Added update for Alliance Hierarch Big Brother Yong’s fellow golfers)

—————✧✧✧✧—————

General Klotho was so frightened by the nearly five hundred-meter-high giant wave that he forgot there was a reporter broadcasting them live.

Or rather,

he simply did not care about those anti-human mutants who had been detained.

As long as he could appease Kou Nan, even killing all those mutants did not matter.

Those people deserved to die anyway.

The power that Kou Nan exhibited had already surpassed James, who possessed telekinesis.

Moreover, with his experience of having his parents killed by mutants, winning him over meant he would become a pivotal force for The Splendid Country’s domination of the world.

Brainwashing young people in their early twenties was easier than ever.

…

Edward was captured, and the mutants of the Superpower Alliance were trying to find ways to rescue their leader, but they were clueless; they did not even know where Edward was being held.

While everyone was at their wits’ end, the emergence of a Water Series superpower in Zijinghua City gave them hope, especially since he specifically demanded the official release of detained mutants, which invigorated the spirit of the mutants in the Superpower Alliance.

Using tens of millions of citizens of Zijinghua City as hostages, they were not worried about The Splendid Country’s officials not releasing Edward.

Moreover, having such a powerful figure join the Superpower Alliance and aligning with Edward would make ruling the world imminent.

Led by Angel Anuo and Teleporter Harold, the mutants of the Superpower Alliance quickly mobilized and headed to Zijinghua City to support Kou Nan.

The young boy’s superpower was indeed strong.

But he was too young, unaware of the treacherous ways of the world, and cunning officials had a myriad of sinister methods to plot against him.

Not to mention, there was an S-Class Mutant like James who sided with humans.

He was too impulsive!

If they could just hold on a little longer, just a little longer, once they arrived, everyone could join forces and surely rescue their captured leader and comrades…

This was the sentiment in the heart of every Superpower Alliance member.

But soon, the angry promises of General Klotho were transmitted to the ears of every Superpower Alliance member through the reporter’s camera.

Then.

All the mutants were dumbfounded.

“He demanded Edward’s release just to kill him himself?” Fire Controller Bisley stammered, “But he’s a mutant too!”

“Mutants killed his parents.” Singer Sean slid his finger across the phone screen, “That’s why he hates every mutant.”

“But he has become a mutant himself, and by doing this, he is offending both humans and mutants…” Gun King Joseph said.

But soon, the words spoken by Duge reinvigorated the confidence of the Superpower Alliance members.

…

“General Klotho, who told you I wanted to kill them?” Duge smiled at Klotho, shaking his head.

“Then what do you want to do?” Klotho asked, frowning.

“I simply want to help them regain their freedom,” Duge said with a serene smile, sunlight shining on his face making him appear like a God Spirit descended into the Mortal Realm, “I heard the oracle of the Goddess of Freedom in my sleep.

She told me that no one should be confined, not in body nor in spirit, freedom is the right and value of every living being…”

“Nonsense!” Klotho angrily interrupted Duge, “If you really cared about freedom, why aren’t you thinking about releasing the human criminals in prisons, but instead specifically demanding the release of mutants?”

Heaven have mercy!

The topic finally looped back around!

Chaos constantly enhanced Duge’s attributes, but he was never satisfied with just single enhancements; Duge always sought double.

He looked at Klotho with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming with surprise, “Is it really possible to release everyone from prison? If so, that would be wonderful…”

“…” Klotho was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing that Kou Nan might have been too greatly shocked and was possibly having a mental breakdown. He picked up a megaphone, “Kou Nan, calm down. Perhaps we can discuss the Goddess of Freedom.”

Negotiating with a mentally disturbed person could never yield results; he had to find a way to stall for time.

Waiting for a psychologist or a mutant who could control the situation to arrive was the only possible way to resolve this dire situation.

Duge knew Klotho was stalling for time, and he was pleased to let him do so.

The longer the time dragged on, the stronger his power became, and moreover, he could openly promote the concept of freedom.

Owning the keyword of chaos and then proceeding with work as usual would hinder his growth.

“Klotho, did you know? Outside our civilization, there are countless civilizations, civilizations more advanced than ours, governed by deities ruling the entire universe.”

Duge looked up at the sky, ignoring the surrounding soldiers and weapons, “And here we are on this tiny planet, fighting each other over petty benefits every day, people dying in wars.

Factory workers sacrifice their lives to capitalists, farmers day after day confine their bodies and souls to the fields…”

Many people have forgotten what freedom feels like?

Is being uncontrolled freedom? Is approaching nature and breathing fresh air freedom?

No.

These are not true freedom; true freedom is whims and desires of the heart, it’s self-mastery, it’s undefined.

Freedom is an unparalleled force; it ignites our passion, stimulates our creativity, and compels us to explore unknown domains…"
