If humanity wishes to develop, it must occupy more land and resources, and after development, it will inevitably come into direct conflict with the Giant Beasts.
If there were no Light Giants and Cosmos beings in the special effects shows, the world might look like this.
And Robert is a flight lieutenant tasked with driving away the Giant Beasts. He has his own family, with a son in middle school and a gentle wife.
His mission is to patrol the surrounding areas of the state with a fighter jet, detect traces of the Giant Beasts and report them in time. When a Giant Beast invades the state, he needs to provide air support promptly and carry out airstrikes on the Giant Beast.
Although the wars have mostly resulted in human victories, as no matter how large the Giant Beasts are, they are still carbon-based lifeforms and cannot triumph when facing giant siege cannons, thermobaric bombs, and mini-nuclear bombs.
Carbon-based lifeforms have their limits.
However, the humans' attacks, often with the consequence of losing a great deal themselves, still result in the Giant Beasts breaking the city walls time and again, causing irreversible disasters within the city. Sometimes human weapons are also needed to attack the Giant Beasts that have breached the city, leading to further losses.
The whole world has been stuck in this cycle for years. Humans and Giant Beasts seem to have become mortal enemies, killing each other over who will become the Lord of the world.
In such a world, humans hate the Giant Beasts, and the Giant Beasts hate humans. The victor will become the new top of the food chain in the next era, whereas the loser will be completely buried in the dust of history.
This is a racial war, unrelated to good or evil, or justice.
But today, the flight mission was canceled, and Lieutenant Robert received a special task which requires him to sign the most extreme confidentiality agreement.
And when he arrived at the destination, he finally learned the full name of the project.
"The Artificial Giant Beast Project, using human thought and morality to control Giant Beasts, thereby defeating them."
This is the new team he will join in the future...
...
"Ring, ring, ring!"
The alarm clock rang, and Xue Dili seemed to struggle out from drowning, panting heavily, as the massive memories of the Otherworld began to resurface.
"The world of Giant Beasts and humans, the Artificial Giant Beast Project…" he muttered to himself, recalling everything he saw last night.
Then, he looked again at the more than eighty-meter-long Giant Beast inside him…
Xue Dili already guessed that this creature, like a combination of a lizard and a dinosaur, but covered with metallic scales, was actually Lieutenant Robert from yesterday!
No wonder such a creature was absent even in the Great Sage's records.
"Lieutenant Robert," he called out to the Giant Beast again.
However, there was no response from the Giant Beast.
He couldn't quite evaluate the situation... Humans prepared to develop Artificial Giant Beasts to defeat the Giant Beasts, deluding themselves into mastering their power through human means.
Could it succeed?
Xue Dili didn't know; at least in his judgment, most of the Giant Beasts are Quasi-Mythic Level creatures, and Lieutenant Robert, in his current Giant Beast form, already rivals a Quasi-Tier Five entity.
This still doesn't take into account the advantage of their massive size and weight. If in a real battle, could Zeus face this Giant Beast…
Well, Zeus might be able to fight the Giant Beast with ease as if fighting a grandson.
But even so, these Giant Beasts at least are creatures comparable to the Nine-headed Hydra, Cerberus, Chimera, and Cyclops in Greek Mythology.
Just like the last time with the Shabu Insect Race—if its ability to warp and pollute reality were banned, perhaps it would struggle to defeat the Giant Beast incarnation of Lieutenant Robert through sheer physical prowess.
In terms of might, humans in that world indeed succeeded—they created a Quasi-Tier Five Artificial Giant Beast.
But, Xue Dili's right eyelid kept twitching; he had a bad feeling that things were far from simple.
Like now, Robert in the Consciousness Space lay quietly like a giant figurine, seemingly having lost thought and consciousness, leaving only instincts.
"Lieutenant, say something. Just squatting there with no spirit, letting people criticize you for a lifetime."
The Giant Beast still didn't respond.
"Forget it, still have to rush for my eight o'clock." Xue Dili began checking his class schedule, relieved there was no Ethics class.
Last night, because of video editing and researching how to better prepare Giant Beast meat, he stayed up late and hadn't found time to visit the flea market at school.
As he left home, he saw the front of the house was normal, checked the surveillance installed above the courtyard walls and the techniques to deal with those individuals.
Everything was ready; should they dare to come again, they would never return!
Having said that, he turned and rode his bicycle to school.
Compared to the universities in online dramas or urban novels, Ke University seemed devoid of luxury cars, champagne, or items filled with bourgeois sentiment.
What he saw most at school were either dating couples or seniors and juniors vying for library spots, along with those cramming for grad school under the stadium lights post-library hours.
He had lived here for eighteen years and had never seen the scene where a rich second generation looked down on ordinary students.
Speaking of which, students with a rich second-generation background typically can't get in here; those who do are the kings among kings in competitiveness, nesting in libraries or student unions.
His grades could have landed him in a university on par with Tsinghua or Beijing University, but he just enjoyed the atmosphere at Ke University: devoid of extravagance or peer comparison, with few even wearing makeup on campus.
After all, the school mainly focuses on science and engineering majors, with other literary-related courses usually being geography, geology, cultural studies, and philosophy research.
It wouldn't host absurd events like a Go champion getting a special admission to study Go in university.
Additionally, Ke University was not far from home, and he often played on its playground as a child. Xue Dili might be more familiar with the university's geography than many professors.
If a rich second generation drives a luxury car to school to cause trouble, I bet he wouldn't even get past the old man at the gate, and he'd behave once the security guard grandpa swings ten sticks per second at him.
"Hey, Little Xue, you're applying for a day pass?" Security guard Grandpa Xu started chatting with Xue Dili.
When Xue Dili used to come here to play ten years ago, Grandpa Xu was already a security guard at Ke University. It's said that he used to be in the military, got injured, and was assigned here as a security guard.
He knows quite a few security guard grandpas here, mostly retirees from the military, armed police, or fire departments.
"Yeah, I used to come here every day as a kid, and now I'm in college and still come here every day." Xue Dili joked, as if he naturally has a semimagnetic affinity for old men, and offered a handful of sunflower seeds to Grandpa Xu.
"Hey, you're too polite!"
"I'm off to my 8 AM class." Xue Dili waved goodbye to Grandpa Xu, who was munching on sunflower seeds.
Right behind Xue Dili, a luxury car was stopped.
"Which school are you from? We don't have a registration for this car." Grandpa Xu glared fiercely at the luxury car, as if triggering his passive from his younger days.
"Old man, don't block the way, I'm Brother Ah Xin, a big influencer with 500,000 followers, and we're here to interview your school's newly emerged great director, to boost your popularity."
"I don't care who you are! How much did you score in the college entrance exam? Below 650 points, you're not allowed in!" Grandpa Xu wasn't accommodating at all, pulling out a walkie-talkie and a rubber baton.
"Guys, there's trouble at the east gate. Did you ask which school he's from? Probably some kid who didn't even graduate kindergarten."
As Xue Dili walked away, he turned back to see that luxury car leaving like a defeated dog.
A grandpa is truly a grandpa.
Grandpas might not reason with you, but when they whip out a baton with ten swings per second, you'll be happy to talk it out nicely.
At least for now, Xue Dili doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by loads of clueless reporters, paparazzi, or internet celebrities.
If it weren't for that inherently evil unboxing imp, he probably could have lived completely like a normal college student, while secretly being a great director...
The inherently evil unboxing imp!
...
The fermentation of the first part of Celestial Thunder Chronicles in the country has just begun.
Actually, right now, the country is at a stage of knowing it's very popular, but not fully watching it.
But today, suddenly, a huge wave of elf Arnies turning into insect memes became popular, this shock and contrast of a top-notch beautiful young lady suddenly transforming into a disgusting monster is irresistible to any cultural audience, perhaps this time's popularity will go viral in a way that Xue Dili can't comprehend.
And just as he arrived in the classroom and opened the English (I) textbook, he suddenly sensed a reaction from the technique he set up at his doorstep.
It was a white van, suddenly stopping near his home, the technique clearly recorded their faces and physiques.
Turning on his phone, he found that the surveillance had no signal.
Huh, quite cautious, electromagnetic shielding? Or some other means?
But no matter how cautious they are, they can't interfere with the techniques set up by Xue Dili.
Upon checking again, he confirmed he didn't recognize any of them, they took out something and splashed it at his doorstep, and wrote the words "pay up" before leaving.
"Found you!" Xue Dili flashed a "mission accomplished" smile.
He's not a demon; as this is his hometown, he will certainly abide by the law and refrains from killing.
But he can insult!
Xue Dili began to rally people, entering the Celestial Thunder, he said to those inside: "Anyone want to check out 3000 years later? Seems like only one person can go..."
In reality, he could only refer to the undead's action mode, allowing a cellmate to attach to the Birdman Armor, and control it.
And just as he finished speaking, the Netherworld in Greece erupted.
Say no more, Greek rules, duel!
After the English class ended, Xue Dili saw Hercules' apparition.
Xue Dili: "..."
Hercules was silent, just endlessly beating everyone up.
Next time something like this happens, no need to consult everyone...
In the real world, Xue Dili tried to guide the energy around him, allowing Hercules to appear in a "ghost-like" manner.
Actually, it's more like a "stand" setup.
"Is this the world 3000 years later?" A voice came from the air behind Xue Dili.
"Yeah." Xue Dili echoed Hercules' words.
He rallied people, actually because it was inconvenient for him to act directly, so he called in a helper to lend a hand.
However, if Hercules had any wish, perhaps he could help fulfill it.
But Hercules remained silent for a long time, only speaking after who knows how long: "In this era, how do future generations evaluate me? Evaluate my story?"
Xue Dili: "..."
