Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1068 - 1069: Countermeasures

"Is your guess based on anything?!"

Captain Yan stared at Feng Yuan with a tense expression, gently running his hand through the Gale Wolf’s coarse and stiff fur behind him. In contrast to the White Shadow Wolf, the Gale Wolf’s fur wasn’t nice to touch, and Feng Yuan gave up after a brief attempt.

He calmly looked at Captain Yan and said,

"I’ve already told you the reasons. As for the truth, I trust you all will make your judgments, and besides, simply asking the person in charge here will also provide proof, right?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Liao Yu looked at the Stray Spirit Beasts running around outside the Barrier and said with some loss,

"I was careless, to not have noticed such an obvious thing..."

"Actually, you should feel fortunate. A moment of kindness gave you a chance to realize something was wrong. Otherwise, if they had dispersed within the city, even he wouldn’t have been able to detect the anomaly."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said, doubting that without the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise, Feng Yuan would have noticed anything wrong. Seeing his reaction, it was clear he hadn’t expected those minor nations to dare such a thing.

"I’ll have other cities keep an eye on their Stray Spirit Beast situation as well, but...never mind, I’ll inform them to immediately evacuate civilians and heighten their alertness."

Captain Yan said, sighing deeply. In fact, after Feng Yuan had pointed it out, it became entirely apparent that the number of Stray Spirit Beasts not residing near Maomu City was indeed too high. Previously, no one cared about this detail, so they didn’t think in that direction. Reminded by Feng Yuan, even though there wasn’t much more evidence, it was not hard to guess what those minor countries intended to do.

"How dare they do such a thing!"

Qi Xiaoshuang yelled angrily, and Qi Chen, looking somewhat discontented, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"You should have asked her to leave before discussing this."

"Brother! What do you mean!"

"There’s no need; Xiao Shuang is smarter than you think, and anyone giving it a little thought can understand,"

Feng Yuan said helplessly as he looked at Qi Chen. Did he think that Qi Xiaoshuang couldn’t guess this kind of thing? Qi Chen glanced at Guo Huai and said to Feng Yuan,

"But this kind of situation...it’s really shocking. No wonder even he is scared, not to mention Xiao Shuang..."

"Brother! Are you treating me like a child?!"

"To me, you are indeed a child."

...

Ignoring the arguing Qi Xiaoshuang and Qi Chen, Feng Yuan observed Guo Huai, whose expression was inexplicable. He didn’t believe that Guo was silent simply out of fear; after all, during his time at the Federation, especially during the civil war period, he had seen plenty of such situations. Although he hadn’t witnessed them firsthand, he could guess what would happen.

("Help me find, what are some plague-like potions that can be spread widely and won’t be affected by Spirit Beast Ultimate Skills.")

"Ding—Although this may disappoint you, I must remind you that taking such actions might upset the Divine Beasts. Moreover, no such potions exist."

(Damn it! Isn’t there any countermeasure?! They are so outrageous, yet the Divine Beasts don’t intervene. Why should I...)

"Ding—The Divine Beasts’ bottom line is not to harm the innocent, which does not include humans; there’s no plague-like potion specifically designed against humans."

Hearing the system’s response, Guo Huai sighed. He had been too optimistic, but then again, in a world where Spirit Beasts were the main combatants, researchers would naturally focus on targeting Spirit Beasts. As for targeting humans?

Even if a Beastmaster died, those Beast Tamers wouldn’t suffer physical damage. Of course, no one knew what a rampaging Beast Tamer might do, but the instigators would certainly be monitored.

And potions that could harm Spirit Beasts? Although there were secret researches, if discovered by Divine Beasts, they would definitely face severe retaliation, and any tangible results might be completely destroyed along with the researchers and the data.

(Is there really no way to retaliate? Such actions targeting ordinary people are just...too vile!)

"Ding—There’s indeed nothing suitable in the database, but do not panic; he definitely won’t stand idly by."

He looked over at Feng Yuan, and Guo Huai sighed.

"But... I don’t want to expect others to help me... with revenge..."

Thinking of that desolate planet, Guo Huai clenched his fist in reluctance. After a moment of silence, his system suddenly popped up a blueprint.

"Ding~ This... might help you, but... I don’t want you to do it. Hatred will lead one into the Abyss..."

Looking at the blueprint only he could see, Guo Huai was stunned. Although he wanted to go back and make that thing right away, he couldn’t ignore its words.

Was he truly on the side of justice? Guo Huai was momentarily lost in confusion. The matters at the border hardly concerned him; his friends and family were all in Maomu City and... given Feng Yuan’s previous actions, the other party would definitely seek revenge. So, why was he doing this?

Was it displaced anger? Because he had been powerless before, so now he wanted to seek revenge under the guise of justice? Seeing that its persuasion seemed effective, the system began trying to persuade Guo Huai to abandon his original plan. After all, the situation at the border was chaotic enough, and it might not be a good thing for Guo Huai to get involved.

"Why not drag the Dream Domain into this again? When they cause a big extinction, we could cause various accidents to simultaneously damage the Dream Domain?"

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, whose unreliable suggestion was truly... Captain Yan glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"No way! Doing so, although I’m not familiar with their personalities, will highly likely trigger a war among the Divine Beasts."

Last time, they had already interfered once. If Feng Yuan stirred up trouble again, Emperor Savidi’s fury would almost certainly erupt. Although it was not a Divine Beast from the Divine Land Region, as a state-protecting Divine Beast, its strength was not weak at all. It could possibly endure fighting multiple Divine Beasts from those nations and get mired in arduous battles. Moreover, trouble always started here, and Emperor Savidi was not a fool; it would definitely suspect someone was scheming.

Although he was not aware of the specifics, he could guess that there weren’t many who could do this, and suspecting Feng Yuan was only a matter of time.

"A great extinction; doing that really isn’t appropriate. The situation now is figuring out what exactly they plan to do. It’s a pity that with the Divine Beasts’ protection on the other side, we cannot see into the future. No, if we collaborate with Lorraine Tower, we might still be able to see what they are planning."

Agunas furrowed his eyebrows tightly and said while holding his book, although guessing they might plan to cause indiscriminate destruction at the border, they lacked direct evidence, not to mention that this was merely a human conflict and did not involve the stray Spirit Beasts. Other Divine Beasts from the Divine Land Region might not target them over this matter.

"Should we talk to Old Wei? I think he wouldn’t sit by on this matter either."

Remembering something, Feng Yuan said; Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably,

"With everything already so troublesome, do you still think this isn’t big enough?"

Knowing Old Wei’s situation, if he found out, it would definitely keep those nations busy. Moreover, they might directly confront their state-protecting Divine Beasts.

Agunas felt somewhat of a headache come on. No choice; if their suspicions were correct and those nations intended to create a catastrophe at the border, then it was necessary to think ahead about countermeasures.

Before Captain Yan could think of anything, Feng Yuan said impatiently,

"Forget it; since it’s like this, I’ll just activate the World’s Shadow when the time comes, and let whatever happens happen."

"Not seeking revenge? That doesn’t sound like you."

Agunas eyed Feng Yuan skeptically. This guy was actually choosing to keep the peace? This was unlike the Feng Yuan he knew. Veronia rolled her eyes and said in exasperation,

"Do you want them to suffer divine punishment? Although we don’t know exactly what they’re planning, it will definitely cause severe damage to the World’s Shadow. When divine punishment comes, it could very well destroy their nation."

"Divine punishment?!"

Agunas froze, puzzled as to why it would come to this. Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,

"Don’t you know? Wantonly destroying the World’s Shadow will trigger divine punishment. That thing is meant to be used in emergencies. Whoever tries to sabotage it must be prepared to face divine punishment."

"The key point is, you will be affected too."

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said solemnly. The initial target wasn’t the World’s Shadow after all. Divine punishment was a total reckoning; even if Feng Yuan could withstand it, accidents could occur, and she certainly didn’t want that.

Hearing Veronia’s words, Xiao Ji anxiously called out to Feng Yuan. It didn’t understand the situation at the border, but it didn’t want Feng Yuan to face any accidents.

Petting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"Alright, let’s think of another way then."
