Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2419 - 2420: Confirmation

Upon seeing Feng Yuan, Captain Yan felt a bit puzzled. What was this guy doing at the Special Duty Team? Surely, he wasn’t seeking shelter, right? They wouldn’t be able to protect Feng Yuan anyway.

"Hey, Captain Yan, I’m wondering if the attacks occurred simultaneously in multiple locations, or if it was just me who encountered an attack."

Waving to Captain Yan, Feng Yuan smirked and said. The counterpart was taken aback but quickly realized that due to the recent flurry of events, such matters affecting the overall situation were beyond his immediate capacity to analyze promptly as in the past.

With Feng Yuan bringing it up, he immediately thought of the difference between the two, and after a moment of contemplation, Captain Yan said,

"Follow me, let me inquire for you."

Although he could only inquire about data related to the Great Xia’s other Special Duty Teams, anything further would require approval from higher-ups. But that was enough. It’s not like those from The Imperial Timeline were specifically targeting Great Xia, right?

If that were truly the case, he believed that the Great Xia would definitely ignore the Alliance and commence a counterattack.

After staying a while in Captain Yan’s office, Captain Yan soon obtained an unexpected answer.

"A total of over seventy thousand attack incidents occurred globally during that period, and in the Divine Land Region..."

Reporting the figures, Captain Yan displayed a serious expression, having realized something. Feng Yuan stroked his chin, glanced at Qi Chen and the others, and said,

"It seems it wasn’t targeting me specifically, or perhaps I’m also on their cleansing list, but it appears the Alliance has decided to launch a surprise attack."

In normal circumstances, Captain Yan could only access data related to Great Xia, and even friendly nations wouldn’t divulge such information. Now, having achieved such comprehensive data could only signify that the Alliance had indeed made a decision.

With countries opening up corresponding information sharing, it’s clear that the war preparation stage has already been entered, and at a rapid pace, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so efficient.

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Captain Yan refrained from responding. It was an answer unsuitable for him to voice. Smiling, Feng Yuan said,

"Fortunately, those guys weren’t specifically targeting me, but Empire Gladys from The Imperial Timeline has already fled, huh."

"The prison where she was held got distorted by time-space distortions, leaving several dozen from the Baiman Special Duty Team uncertain in life or death."

Captain Yan casually remarked with no intention to excuse himself, as Dou Yanlan furrowed her brows and looked towards Feng Yuan and said,

"Time-space distortion? If that’s the case, we..."

"Aside from rescue operations, I don’t think they have the capability to wield it as a weapon. Plus, if entering wartime state, the City Defense System could be activated and should prevent such occurrences."

Feng Yuan stroked his chin, glanced at Captain Yan, and said,

"I remember our Maomu City’s City Defense System is being reconstructed, any issue with that?"

"It’s manageable, though it hasn’t undergone comprehensive testing, it can still be used normally. This time, we’ll have to verify how the new City Defense System performs through actual combat."

Closing his eyes, Captain Yan responded begrudgingly. If possible, he’d much rather use a stable City Defense System. However, the attack from The Imperial Timeline was too sudden, with the old City Defense System dismantled and replaced. They can only hope the new system has fewer flaws and issues.

"All right, not too stable, but one can’t really be sure. While the old City Defense System was stable, whether it could stop an attack from The Imperial Timeline is indeed questionable, since it couldn’t even completely fend off Spirit Beast’s ultimate moves."

Smiling, Feng Yuan shrugged and said, the reason Maomu City started replacing its City Defense System was simply that the previous system couldn’t cope with the increasingly formidable overall strength of Beastmasters.

Just as Feng Yuan mentioned, if it couldn’t even stop a Beastmaster’s ultimate moves, the defense system indeed held little significance. The reason why there hadn’t been much issue was purely due to prohibiting the use of attack and destruction-type ultimate moves within city ranges.

In the past incidents encountered by Feng Yuan and the others, the City Defense System played almost no role, which was also why Maomu City was aggressively promoting the new City Defense System.

The old one, although stable, was merely a facade, easily torn down by any unexpected incident, serving as little more than a display, having limited actual effect in facing significant events.

Feng Yuan wasn’t confident about the new City Defense System either, but it should at least be better than the existing one, right?

"This isn’t something we should worry about. Regardless, we must protect this city and its citizens well. As for you..."

Captain Yan glanced at Feng Yuan, initially intending to say that this was the duty of the Special Duty Team and other official squads and didn’t require help from them, the civilians. But in this situation, even they couldn’t say they could protect everyone, not to mention Feng Yuan’s strength was significantly greater than theirs.

"If they were to run into me, I’d probably resolve it conveniently."

"Just like today."

Feng Yuan said casually, spreading his hands. He didn’t want to get involved in this war, but the people from The Imperial Timeline seemed to have determined he’d obstruct them. If they kept stirring trouble, Feng Yuan might retaliate strongly.

Even if he didn’t personally act, it didn’t mean Feng Yuan was powerless to do anything.

Just kidding, the Divine Beasts might not be willing to get involved, but it didn’t mean Feng Yuan couldn’t mobilize Shi and Xilnaes against The Imperial Timeline. Even if The Imperial Timeline was a different time stream, it was regarded no differently than the Main World by them, adhering to the same management approach.

Shi and Xilnaes wouldn’t hold back, and wiping out half of The Imperial Timeline’s land wouldn’t be an issue. But of course, the consequences would be severe, not only affecting The Imperial Timeline’s internal environment but potentially exacerbating the war.

Therefore, under usual circumstances, Feng Yuan had no plans to strike. Matters of war, unless he chose to erase The Imperial Timeline entirely, various aftereffects would inevitably emerge.

Even if The Imperial Timeline were obliterated, it would still leave an impact on the Main World, as long as those guys didn’t provoke again, Feng Yuan wasn’t keen on creating trouble for himself.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Feng Yuan didn’t linger long at the Special Duty Team. They were so busy at present that even the front desk had no time to entertain Feng Yuan and the others.

"Is this a counterattack or a warning?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled and asked. She felt this was more of a demonstration, albeit without significant value as the probability of this surprise attack succeeding was low.

They were indeed targeting unique entities within the Main World this time, but this was a Beastmaster-centric world, and uniqueness in status invariably implies they can’t be weak.

Additionally, the dispatched forces for this strike weren’t particularly powerful, making the mission bear almost no fruit.

"It’s just harassment, because they surely know most people’s strength."

Feng Yuan explained, contemplating. Anyway, his strength was inadequately understood even by the Special Duty Team—known to be strong yet unclear on how strong.

The others who encountered attacks lacked the potential for a sudden surge in strength, meaning their capabilities had been apparent from the start.

"This period, I’ll stay at the school dormitory area."

Feng Yuan said, looking at Qi Chen, hesitatingly, Qi Chen said,

"Then, contact us if anything happens, and we’ll visit you during the day."

Qi Chen understood what Feng Yuan meant; it seemed those people had set their sights on Feng Yuan. If he continued living with Qi Chen and the others, it was uncertain any danger might befall Qi Xiaoshuang and them.

"Alright, though I didn’t intend to meddle with them, alas, if they return I won’t hold back."

Signing, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Initially, he didn’t plan to involve himself in these troublesome affairs, but Empire Gladys from The Imperial Timeline had apparently decided to trouble him.

"Is it because you might impede their plans? Are they plotting to seize Maomu City?"

Dou Yanlan pondered out loud. Feng Yuan’s performance was apparent to everyone, thus they knew Feng Yuan had no intention to engage in this war.

Under such circumstances, predictions shouldn’t include Feng Yuan, the sole possibility being their intention to occupy Maomu City, hence forcing Feng Yuan to intervene.

Chuckling, Feng Yuan didn’t offer an explanation. He felt this wasn’t the case. Maomu City wasn’t a strategic location, with no necessity for occupation, at least not initially.

Feng Yuan speculated Empire Gladys’s forecasted future entails a complete acquisition of the Main World, which would directly conflict with him.

Yet, Feng Yuan didn’t believe they could surpass the Divine Beasts’ hurdle, thus launching an attack on him was fundamentally laughable.

From the onset, Feng Yuan doubted the success of an invasion from The Imperial Timeline. They severely underestimated the power of Divine Beasts.
