My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 446: Chapter 330: Ignition Dilemma

Li Wenyuan had just finished speaking when the others’ expressions subtly changed, revealing a look of astonishment.

This is because it was also the first time they had heard Li Wenyuan speak about a young man in this manner, and he addressed him as — Lord Su Han.

Being leaders of their own bases, each having weathered many storms throughout half their lives, they instantly deduced the implication.

It seemed this young man might be managing a certain city, and a very important one at that.

For a moment, scrutinizing gazes turned toward Su Han.

“Stop staring, Su Han has recaptured South City and Huiyuan City, sheltering nearly two hundred thousand people from the two cities, possessing Fourth Order Superior strength, not inferior to the Armed Forces.”

Qin Henghu stepped forward, revealing the identity, but this introduction made the four leaders gasp in surprise.

It was truly a shocking emergence; Fourth Order strength was, as far as they knew, unique to Li Wenyuan alone.

“Impressive skills, young comrade, which explains how Wushan City was able to ignite the Star Torch first, despite having only two Spirit Seal users.”

The first to speak was Deng Guanshan, with a robust northern accent, his eyes full of admiration.

“You flatter me, sir.”

Su Han took up the thread, then said, “The Star Torch is ignited indeed and, after modification, the energy level can generally reach Fourth Order Superior. It can continually grow through the Star Torch Lamp Tree, with new inscriptions added to continuously upgrade the energy level of the Star Torch. The controlling Spirit Seal has been changed to one main and three auxiliaries; the main seal can fully control the Star Torch, mobilizing all its strength, one for a citywide protective barrier and the other for condensing a Fourth Order Superior Spiritual Energy Entity to fight. One offense and one defense, extremely energy-consuming and not easily activated.”

Hiss!

Su Han had merely outlined the functions, but leaders from Mo City, East Sea, Lingzhou, and Kakta were already looking at Li Wenyuan with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The version given to them originally was not like this; they couldn’t openly release version 1.0 to their own people, keep version 2.0 secret, and then covertly research version 3.0, creating this type of version iteration.

“This was an independent modification by Su Han based on our Star Torch, and now, that is exactly what needs to be discussed.”

Li Wenyuan smoothly steered the conversation towards the matter of the Star Torch, including the initial discussions with Su Han regarding improvements to the Star Torch.

This explanation evidently made Deng Guanshan and others take the matter even more seriously.

In terms of strength and mastery over inscriptions, Su Han had already far surpassed the others.

It was no wonder he could firmly hold two cities.

“The method of improvement, as per the agreement with Elder Li, will be shared with everyone shortly, but I must first throw a dampener on things. When the Star Torch is ignited, it will attract the scrutiny of Extradimensional Monsters; in a sense, it is our lighthouse, but also theirs.”

Su Han looked at them, speaking slowly, “This time when Wushan City ignited the Star Torch, it led to an attack by the Lizardmen Clan, with three extradimensional rifts appearing, and more than ten Fourth Order Monsters emerging from the three Lizardman Tribes combined.”

“What?!”

This time even Li Wenyuan was shaken, his eyes revealing disbelief: “How could there be so many?”

Qin Henghu sighed, still feeling apprehensive as he spoke of that day’s events: “Not just over ten Fourth Order Lizardmen and Lizard Beasts, but also Fifth Order.”

He did not mince words, also revealing the appearance of the Great Demon Incarnation, Langmuluo.

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

“Are you saying we can’t ignite the Star Torch now?”

After a while, Ouyang Qing was the first to raise his head, glancing at Su Han, his voice inevitably a bit somber.

The purpose of igniting the Star Torch wasn’t just for communication with a single city, but to extend the reach of this power much further.

If they couldn’t ignite it, then the Star Torch project would have to be abruptly halted.

“Could we think of a way, like moving the Star Torch out of the city and setting up a large number of nuclear bombs around it, so if the Alien Race monsters really appear, we could use the nuclear bombs to physically cut off the crisis?”

Liu Rulong from the East Sea base proposed his idea, seeing as nuclear bombs were not entirely useless, hence considering how to take advantage of them by preparing in advance.

However, the drawback of this plan was also clear.

Deng Guanshan added from the side: “The Lamp Tree can indeed be moved without withering, but if a nuclear bomb explodes, it will definitely be gone too; ultimately, our power is still insufficient.”

The plan stalled at this point; all the generals understood that if they all had Fourth Order strength, even if not as strong as Su Han but just possessing Fourth Order, they might at least try it.

“Su Han, what is your opinion?”@@novelbin@@

Li Wenyuan looked at Su Han, his deep gaze filled with a hint of hope. While everyone was frowning, Su Han seemed to remain very calm.

“The safest method is to accumulate power until each base has a certain number of Fourth Order, or even Fifth Order, strength. Then, igniting the Star Torch would almost be risk-free.”

Su Han explained, speaking slowly, “When the Star Torch is ignited, the energy cannot be reined in, nor can it hide itself, much like a bright candle in the deep of night.
