Chapter 283 YOU MUST FIGHT!
Chapter 283 YOU MUST FIGHT!
The Southern Continent…
Bzzz!
Core Protector Shanks teleported directly inside the headquarters of the Elementalist Academy. At this moment, despite most of its members already going to war, a serene atmosphere still filled this headquarters.
On returning to the pure-white and neat research lab, Core Protector Shanks only needed to incline his head a bit to see him.
Gabbed in his white lab coat, his long grey hair remained tied in a bun with the special force field hat holding his hair in place.
Like usual, Newton was so focused on his work that he didn't seem to notice the intruder. With his glasses, this Elementalist looked like a sage.
With an extremely concentrated look on his face, he held a beaker containing a purple fluid that sizzled like it had acidic and volatile properties as he carefully poured it into an orange mixture.
As he carefully poured, he also carefully observed the metrics of the nearby machine, analyzing every change in the properties of the mixture.
On seeing him, Core Protector Shanks said nothing.
The stench of blood and battlefield that he brought with him pervaded this room as he glared at the scientist, the glare became so penetrative that Newton's concentration was finally affected.
The scientist paused before his hand could shake.
He did not turn around. "I already told you, I will not fight my student, the most I can do is offer support to ease…"
"SHUT UP!" Core Protector Shanks snapped.
Crack!
Newton's grip tightened, the beaker could not resist the force as it shattered instantly, spilling its contents on the neat floor of this research lab.
"…"
An oppressive atmosphere instantly descended on this laboratory.
Newton looked down at his lab coat that was burnt by the lethal purple liquid. With a single shake of his hand, the white lab coat was discarded off before he smoothly gabbed a new and cleaner one.
He dropped the remaining beakers before turning around.
His sharp eyes pinned Core Protector Shanks down who did not flinch from his intimidating gaze, Core Protector Shanks glared back at him.
The next moment, Newton looked down before slightly patting his lab coat.
"It's been a really long time since someone told me to shut up". He casually said. "Like I said and I'm still saying, I will not…"
"Listen to me!" Core Protector Shanks cut him off again.
"It seems you don't understand the significance of your student's crazy plan and experiments".
"I think I understand enough".
"NO, YOU DON'T!" Core Protector Shanks was literally going crazy already.
"Norman aims to turn this planet into his personal playground to indulge his crazy fantasies. If he succeeds, Planet Darvis will turn into Hell on Earth".
"You simply can't exclude yourself from this war anymore".
"No matter how you try to stay aloof from the happenings of this world, you are still a Darvis citizen. You grew up on this Planet, you matured on this Planet, do you think you would have grown up if you lived in a world of chaos?"
"Norman has singlehandedly turned our Planet into a giant meatgrinder".
"I'm sure this very moment, thousands of citizens are still dying".
"Hundreds of thousands more are getting injured every minute".
"Just today alone, 15 Grade C Superhumans already died!"
"15 Grade C Superhumans!"
"Not 1, not 2, not even 5, 15! Imagine that!"
Newton calmly looked at him. "What do you want me to do?"
"Help!" He literally yelled on this legend's face.
"I want you to help". Core Protector Shank's voice betrayed his desperation. "No matter how much I hate and I don't want to admit it, Norman has singlehandedly pushed us to the wall".
"No single Superhuman can stop him anymore, not even you".
"I won't come to you if you were not related to him".
"You are Norman's master, you are the only one who may still hold a place in his heart, we need you to try to convince him to stop it all".
"Even if it means lying, just do anything to pull at his heartstrings if he still has one, the destruction has to stop, the chaos has to stop".
While Core Protector Shanks said all these with so much emotion, Newton remained calm looking at him, he finally replied. "It won't work".
"Why?"
"You said it yourself the last time that you came to meet me, people change, I fear Norman is no longer someone that I can talk to amicably".
"I won't put myself down before him, I was his master". As he said this, this Elementalist finally showed emotion as his eyes flared powerfully.
"…"
Core Protector Shanks was lost for words to say, he was shocked.
"Hahaha…" This Core Protector laughed loudly the next moment.
"You don't mean it Newton, so all this is because of your ego?"
"Your f*cking ego?!"
"You're actually competing with your student at this moment?"
"F*ck you!"
"You get that? F*CK YOU!"
Newton Barnes' eyes finally darkened as he let his energy loose. "Get out of my domain!"
"Hahaha…!" Core Protector Shanks laughed maniacally.
His eyes changed the next moment. "Jon Stones was right".
"Huh?" Newton's eyes narrowed.
"I didn't want to believe it but he predicted this. Apparently, spending years and decades locked in a room researching chemicals all day long without even having a wife or a girlfriend affects the psych adversely".
"It sounded ridiculous at first but now I believe".
"You're no longer human".
"You're simply a scientist obsessed with your research, you now lack human empathy but it all doesn't matter though, it doesn't matter because we are prepared for you". Core Protector Shanks' eyes glowed with power.
BOOM!
This Grade C Summoner let loose his energy as it erupted like a volcano, smashing a lot of valuable chemicals in the process to Newton's shock.
Newton's valuable research lab was literally thrashed by this show of force.
This was taboo!
Clearly, Core Protector Shanks gave no f*cks though as he continued. "We, the humans are ready for you and your student".
"Today, you just can't stay hidden in your lab".
"Today…, YOU MUST FIGHT!"
"YOU MUST FIGHT FOR HUMANITY!"
"Or else what?" At this moment, Newton's eyes were already constricted to such an extent like those of a Python, this scientist's rage knew no end.
"Or else, you will face the combined wrath of me and Jon Stones. You have improved all these years but know this, we never stayed idle either".
"Make your decision". Core Protector Shank's eyes gleamed. "Join humanity and fight for peace or stay neutral and face our wrath!"
Newton kept quiet as his eyes coldly glared at this Summoner.
Core Protector Shanks coldly glared back at him.
"You'll really fight me?"
"Try me!"
Bzzz!
This was not an attack, as soon as the space was roughly torn open, from far away in the pocket space, Jon Stones projected his aura into this space.
As soon as the tyrannical aura arrived, the tension in the air increased.
This old monster's voice reverberated calmly.
"Psycho, make the right decision".
Newton's face darkened as he heard this nickname.
For seconds, silence reigned in the air as Newton glared at the source of the powerful aura that matched his own. Newton not attacking to kill Shanks immediately was already a win to the Core Protector, he pressed.
"I know you're not a saint, but even if you don't care, do this for history".
"Do this for the planet that bred you to become what you are".
"Do this for justice".
Newton finally turned to look at Core Protector Shanks again.
He opened his mouth to speak. "I…"
