The Last Commander of the Red Alert
Chapter 340: None of Your Damn Business!
Chapter 340: None of Your Damn Business!
Previously, Ju Ling had been seen by many when she stood in for the Eastern Emperor to guard the eastern front. Coupled with her female identity, she had become the subject of countless discussions and was even referred to as Empress Ling.
She was the first among Su Chen's super soldiers to be awarded the title of King.
However, the Human Emperors had not officially recognized this title. What mattered to them was Su Chen's opinion. If Su Chen agreed, they could immediately bestow the title of Empress Ling upon Ju Ling. If Su Chen didn't agree, they wouldn't forcefully push someone into a King position.
Su Chen had asked Ju Ling if she would be willing to become Empress Ling before. However, Ju Ling had declined. According to her, if she became Empress Ling, wouldn't that be equivalent to being on the same level as a Commander?
To the super soldiers, this notion was a great disrespect.
This sentiment was shared by not only Ju Ling but all the super soldiers.
The title of Empress Ling hadn't been officially recognized, but in private, many called her that.
Since that battle, Ju Ling hadn't appeared in public. Her sudden appearance now ignited a surge of emotions. After all, she was the first female King among Humans.
However, they soon realized that their eyes weren't deceiving them. They saw four other female Kings. This just didn't make sense!
As for how they knew that these women were Kings, the text on the livestream said it all.
Su Chen had taken care to label the names and strengths of his nine super soldiers in the livestream. Thus, people saw a lineup of Eighth Order peak Kings.
For a moment, the world seemed to grow silent. They all stared at their phones with wide eyes. Some were even kneeling on the ground as they watched.
"Mom asked why I'm kneeling while watching the livestream. Can I say my eyes were blinded by the brilliance?"
"There are nine Eighth Order peaks! Is this real? Wasn't South Emperor the only Eighth Order peak? How did nine suddenly appear?"
"Unbeknownst to us, Humans have actually grown so powerful. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
Su Chen had tossed a deep water bomb into the mix, leaving Humans completely astonished. They had never considered that Humans had such formidable fighting strength. Could it be that all the news they had known until now was false?
Many people felt deceived. If Humans possessed this kind of strength, they could have easily wiped out Mutant Beasts and become the rulers of Earth. Why would they need wave after wave of fighters?
Amidst some covert manipulation, the situation escalated rapidly.
"Emperor Su, many people want to know why we have nine Eighth Order peak experts but haven't let them participate in battles from the start. If this matter isn't handled well, the consequences could be severe," Emperor Kong said helplessly.
While he was a Human Emperor, he wasn't a tyrant. Faced with the questioning from Humans, he didn't know how to respond.
"They want an explanation, huh? Then I'll give them one," a cold gleam flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
He knew that people were prone to following blindly, agreeing with the masses. However, at this moment, they weren't concerned about the upcoming battles; they were fixated on questioning the Human Emperors. It was utterly foolish!
Just then, another livestream appeared in the room where they were watching, instantly overshadowing the previous one. There was only one figure on the screen: Su Chen. "I'm sure many of you are curious why we have nine Eighth Order peak experts and why we haven't let them participate in battles from the start. You probably have countless questions. Well, I have just one answer for all of you: None of your business!"
The Human Emperors who were watching the livestream involuntarily spat out the water they were drinking. They had thought of many possibilities, but they never imagined that Su Chen would come on and start roasting people, and that he would do so to everyone!
They wryly smiled. After all, Su Chen was the highest leader of Humans. Yet, he was publicly doing such a thing. They could already imagine that this would be tomorrow's headline news.
Humans were in an uproar. One by one, they were shocked. Emperor Su, the highest leader of Humans, was actually insulting people in a livestream?
"Damn it, if I were stronger, do you believe I'd come over and challenge you in a PvP duel right now?"
"Don't think that just because you're a King, I'm afraid of you. Let me tell you, I'll go and play mahjong... We're short one player, who's in?"
"The guy upstairs turned too quickly, and now my back hurts. Just admit it, you're scared to lose, King."
After a barrage of bullet comments, the first person who had spoken fiercely was stupefied. He realized that, from beginning to end, he was the only one talking tough. Su Chen had spotted him almost instantly.
"Alright, the person who talked tough, get ready. I'll send a special plane to pick you up immediately. Shall we have a live PvP duel?"
In an instant, that person lost his nerve and didn't dare to say anything.
Su Chen had roasted everyone, and not a single person dared to speak up. They shouldn't assume they could recklessly spout words of bravado on the internet. In the present online environment, most individuals used their real names, and every statement was traceable.
"Seeing you all cower like this puts my mind at ease. To prevent some who may have had genuinely good intentions from overthinking, I'll explain a bit. Those nine Eighth Order peak experts didn't originally possess such formidable strength. They only recently broke through. Otherwise, the Mutant Beasts wouldn't have survived until now."
"Secondly, you should have noticed something. That Mutant standing before the nine of them—have you ever considered what kind of enemy would require nine Eighth Order peak experts to face them?"
Su Chen's words prompted a startling realization in their minds.
Other than the Eighth Order, what could be above it?
In other words, that Mutant was actually a Ninth Order expert. An entity at a level that had never appeared on Earth before?
"Exactly, just as you thought. That Mutant is a Ninth Order expert, and he recently stepped into that level."
Su Chen's words confirmed the Mutant's identity in their minds. Nobody pursued why the nine Eighth Order peak experts hadn't appeared before. Their thoughts converged on one thing: Could these nine stand against a Ninth Order Mutant?
Of course, Su Chen wouldn't tell them that this Mutant was no longer a Mutant, but a Dream Shadow individual from the universe.
Sometimes, ignorance was bliss.
The Human Emperors had only just learned about this event. They were all stunned.
"That Mutant, wasn't he just an Eighth Order Mid-Term? When did he break through to the Ninth Order?" Emperor Kong furrowed his brow as he looked at the other livestream. The nine individuals and the Mutant hadn't immediately engaged in battle but were facing off instead.
Emperor Kong had never seen the strength of a Ninth Order expert. However, based on the comparison between Seventh Order
and Eighth Order, he could vaguely guess that a Ninth Order expert was almost invincible when facing Eighth Order experts.
"Can they win?" (To be continued...)
