"Thirty to forty percent?!"
Meng Chao could not believe the number.
If almost half of all humans could awaken extraordinary powers...
The overall combat power of Dragon City's civilization would have an earth-shaking improvement. This also meant that mankind would once again stand on the same starting line, and the idea of everyone being equal would have a solid material foundation!
Would such a future really become reality?
If that happened, how could the future Dragon City be destroyed?
Why was Su Mulian, who had foreseen this future, always frowning and constantly entangled in deep sorrow and despair?
"So, what's the problem?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and mumbled, "There's no free lunch in the world, and power doesn't fall from the sky. What's the price for 30% to 40% of humans to awaken their extraordinary powers?"
"You've hit the nail on the head. In just a few years, nearly half of Dragon City's citizens awakened their extraordinary powers. Of course, they had to pay a heavy price."
Su Mulian calmly said, "In my dream, something called the Awakening Capsule became popular in Dragon City. It could greatly increase the probability of ordinary people awakening extraordinary power. Although there were some side effects, in most cases, they were not life-threatening.
"Since the Azure Alliance endorsed the Awakening Capsules, the ordinary citizen fought to take them. At the cost of a lot of beastification features, they obtained unparalleled power that is comparable to that of firearms."
"A large number of beast-like characteristics appeared on their bodies?"
Meng Chao mulled over the hidden message behind those words. "Just what is this Awakening Capsule?"
"According to my understanding, the so-called Awakening Capsule should be an upgraded version of the Deification Capsule."
Su Mulian said, "The Deification Capsule was originally developed by the monster civilization. It instantly explodes a human's potential and burns one's vitality in exchange for genetic medicine that gives one great power.
"As the monster civilization fell apart, the technology for the monster mastermind to create the Deification Capsule also fell into the hands of the major human forces.
"The nine mega corporations, Dragon City University, the alliance of five universities, and the Red Dragon Army all actively carried out research in related fields, trying to optimize the Deification Capsule's formula with the goal of reducing the side effects and sequelae as much as possible.
"The Blood Alliance, which were less ethical than the major interest groups, even adopted all kinds of crazy and evil means, carrying out experiments that trampled on humanity's bottom line as well as accumulating a lot of valuable optimization data. After you destroyed the Blood Alliance, the data also fell into the hands of the major interest groups in Dragon City, especially the Red Dragon Army, Battle God Palace, the broken star society, the Super star group, and the Azure Alliance.
"As the scientists in Dragon City deepened their work in deciphering the monster civilization, the technology for combining a large number of monster genes with human genes became increasingly developed. By combining beastification gene technology and the Deification Capsule, they made the human body strong enough to resist the side effects of using the Deification Capsule.
"In the face of life and death, it was still worth it for many people to only show partial beastly characteristics on the outside."
"No, no, no, no."
Meng Chao took a deep breath. "Some of the signs of beastification appear on the surface, which means that the monster genes in the human body reached a certain level, and they were developing in the direction of the Turan orcs. Tell me, is the beastification that comes with great power irreversible?"
"In theory, yes." Su Mulian blinked and answered.
"What do you mean by 'in theory?'"
Meng Chao frowned.
"In theory, if you take one Awakening Capsule at a critical moment, even if you temporarily become half-human and half-beast, after the effect of the medicine wears off, the beastly characteristics will gradually fade, and you'll return to your previous appearance. At first, this 'emergency' need was the reason for the Awakening Capsule's development," Su Mulian said expressionlessly.
"However, human beings' desire for power is never-ending. It will never fade, especially when a person has tasted the feeling of having great power, the feeling of being able to blow up a wall with one punch, the feeling of being able to travel at a high speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour, and even the ability to create flames and lightning out of thin air to penetrate the front armor of battle tanks, on yop of blowing up the high and mighty native sorcerers from the Other World... The pleasure of being invincible is a hundred times better than any kind of primitive pleasure. Who can resist it in their long lives? What if a person only tasted it once?
"Not to mention, on the journey to challenge the entire Other World with a mere city, humans will never lack 'critical moments,' where they must take the Awakening Capsules.
"Perhaps, in the beginning, many people indeed regarded the Awakening Capsules as an emergency measure. They would only take them when the enemy was right in front of them and they had no choice but to turn themselves into half-human, half-beast warriors.
"Once a crisis was over, the authorities would arrange for these people to receive the most appropriate treatment. They would take and inject large amounts of conflicting drugs to suppress the monster genes in their bodies and let them return to normal.
"However, as the scale and intensity of the war in the Other World continued to increase, the people of Dragon City needed to form expeditionary forces of all sizes to head to the depths of the Other World. They were often surrounded by all kinds of strange indigenous people.
"Meanwhile, the natives from the Other World who came and went like ghosts also spread the fire of their revenge to the hinterland of Dragon City, causing humans to no longer have an absolutely safe home.
"Under such circumstances, the people of Dragon City, who were all soldiers, had to face a close-range battle every three to five days. In just one month, they would have to take three to five Awakening Capsules. Many people would maintain their half-human, half-beast combat state for hundreds of hours in a row.
"Over time, these people gradually adapted to their new appearance.
"Besides, when the number of half-human, half-beast citizens of Dragon City exceeded the limit, the authorities didn't have enough medical resources to take care of every patient, alleviate their side effects, and restore them to their normal state. The precious resources used to produce neutralizers, buffers, and suppressants were all used to produce newer versions of the Awakening Capsules with greater efficacy.
"At the fiercest moment of battle, a lot of people even stuffed Awakening Capsules with far higher doses into their mouths without a care. They even made injections that were ten times more effective than the oral capsules and injected them directly into their carotid and femoral arteries.
"Just like that, after a brutal battle that lasted for ten days to half a month or even longer, many humans who were lucky enough to survive found that... they couldn't change back."
