Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

382: Chapter 370: It can’t be banned, it needs to be promoted.The squad of Soldiers guarding the stone statue suddenly became ”supermen” in human cognition.

Although not as powerful as Spider-Man, with spider silk and wall-crawling, their raw strength had increased, creating a clear gap between them and ordinary people.

No matter how hard an ordinary person trained, it was impossible for them to unconsciously leave fingerprints on a rifle’s body just by gripping it.

Intelligence quickly reached Kremlin Palace, and the President immediately ordered a helicopter to pick up the squad.

The helicopter traveled through the night, landing at the airport against the rising sun of the next day; a long-waiting private car picked up the Soldiers and took them all the way to Kremlin Palace to meet the President.

Although he knew such an important matter couldn’t be a joke, the President still felt it was surreal.

So, the first time he saw the Soldiers, he had them perform a demonstration.

The Captain stepped out of the formation and borrowed a gun from a nearby Guard.

The President gestured, and the Guard unloaded the bullets before handing the gun to the Captain.

He didn’t say much, nor did he do any preparation like gathering strength; he grabbed the gun and applied slight pressure with his right thumb.

”Crack—” Along with a crisp sound, the sturdy gun body felt like plastic, as a finger-sized hole was pressed into it.

The President stepped forward and took the gun, staring intently at the internal parts beneath the hole for a long time: ”What is the limit of your strength?”

”Reporting to Your Excellency the President, we haven’t tested it yet.”

”Go immediately... no, Secretary.”

”Here.”

”Go summon some testing equipment and relevant experts.”

”Yes!”

The Secretary took the order and left.

While waiting for the equipment to be moved in, the President and his Aides discussed the matter.

”Does this count as transcendent?” The President handed the gun to them.

After the Aides took turns observing, one of them said: ”Based on our current definition of transcendent, they don’t count.”

”Yes, the most prominent feature of the transcendent is the use of ’energy’ to release various magics, techniques, and so on—like the Examiner’s gigantification, the Sword Qi of Immortal Xu from the Mountain Gate, the sandstorm of Mr. Dumbledore from Hogwarts, and oh, the massive fireball summoned by Mr. Gao.

Compared to them, no matter how great the strength, it doesn’t cross that line into the transcendent realm.”

A colleague nearby voiced his agreement: ”Correct.

Although their strength clearly exceeds that of a normal person and cannot be reached through training, it’s still far inferior compared to the transcendent.”

One Aide offered a personal view: ”I’ve heard that in the mythology of China, there’s a concept of ’Attaining the Dao through Strength.’ Perhaps it’s feasible?”

Most of the Aides didn’t understand Chinese culture, and their eyes were somewhat blank; clearly, they didn’t understand what ’Attaining the Dao through Strength’ meant.

The President didn’t understand either and was about to ask when he was interrupted by the Captain.

”Your Excellency the President, I have something to say.”

Everyone’s gaze shifted over, and the President nodded: ”Speak freely, don’t be formal.”

”After leaving the mountain peak, in my mind... that stone statue spoke a sentence in my mind.”

”The stone statue? Spoke?” The Aides were slightly surprised.

The President ignored their surprise and hurriedly asked: ”What did it say?”

”To those who forsake God, I shall reclaim my blessing.”

”What does that mean?” the President asked subconsciously.

The Captain scratched his head: ”It should be literal.

If we betray God—uh, that stone statue—he will take away our power.”

His explanation didn’t enlighten the President; instead, it made him more confused.

”God?”

”That’s how it referred to itself.”

The President scanned the rest of the Soldiers: ”You all...”

The Soldiers straightened their backs: ”Yes, it spoke to us as well.”

The President and the Aides looked at each other, for a moment not knowing how to react.

God?

Hasn’t that already been proven to be transcendent?

Everyone was confused. One Aide intended to ask in detail, but he was interrupted by the Secretary arriving in a hurry, followed by workers and experts.

The President waved his hand: ”First, finish the testing.”
