The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 441 - Parasol Corp

After confirming that the locusts posed no threat, the three scouts descended the building and swiftly reached the bottom.

Han Wu had sensed their presence long ago but had chosen to ignore them. Whether they came to rescue or kill the survivors didn’t matter to him, so long as they didn't interfere with his work nurturing the locusts.

To his surprise, the scouts headed straight for him and raised their guns. The leader said, “We are scouts from Parasol Corp.. We are here to rescue you, so please come with us.”

Han Wu scoffed. Only an idiot would believe that. Rescue me? I don’t need rescuing. Since when do rescuers point their guns at the person they are trying to save?

“Don’t resist,” one of them warned. “The only right choice is to follow us.”

“My gun can’t tell friend from foe,” another added. “So you’d better follow our orders if you want to live!”

Their threats couldn’t have been clearer.

Han Wu smiled, rose to his feet, and faced the scouts. “You want to take me away? Then let’s see if you are capable of doing so.”

The leader barked an order to the others. “Ron, Rick, take him down. Professor Zweisteine won’t blame us as long as he’s still breathing.”

The scouts aimed for Han Wu’s legs and pulled their triggers.

The instant the bullets left the muzzles, Han Wu avoided them with astonishing speed. The scouts froze in disbelief, unable to comprehend how anyone could move faster than bullets.

“Don’t be fooled!” the leader shouted. “He must’ve used another ability to dodge the bullets. Keep firing! He can’t dodge them all.”

The others nodded and opened fire again, but Han Wu wasn’t about to stand still like a target. He jumped up high into the air and brandished his 1-Star God Steel Blade.

“Silver Bladefall!” he shouted, plunging downward. The Skill’s shockwave deflected the three scouts’ incoming bullets.

Han Wu slammed into the ground and drove his blade deep into the dirt. The impact sent another shockwave rippling through the area and knocked the scouts off their feet. He seized the opening and rushed forward to sever their arms so they couldn’t fire again.

Han Wu preferred to finish off his enemies, but these three appeared to belong to a larger organization. That piqued his curiosity. “Tell me about your organization, and I will let you live.”

The three scouts weren't ready to surrender. They roared in unison, and their bodies transformed. Multicolored fur burst from their skin, their muscles expanded, and even their severed arms regenerated. In the blink of an eye, they had turned into beastmen.

Han Wu noticed that they weren’t true beastmen; there was a distinct difference. Evidently, they were using their special abilities.

“You brat, do you think you are the only one with special abilities?” the leader growled. “We will show you today that there are even more powerful abilities out here!”

The three scouts lunged at Han Wu to tear him apart.

Han Wu didn’t panic. He weaved through their attacks like a butterfly while summoning his locust swarm to assist. Within seconds, three powerful figures appeared behind him: the Lord Frost Locust Dragon, a Heroic Locustman, and a Heroic Dark Cursed Bug.

They released their abilities and stopped the scouts in their tracks. The Frost Locust Dragon used its frost breath and froze the scouts’ lower bodies to prevent them from moving. Then the Dark Cursed Bug fired a volley of Shadow Needles, pinning their shadows to the ground and locking them completely in place.

Han Wu approached them and spoke again. “Tell me about your background, and I will spare you.”

“Never!” the leader spat.

“Long live Parasol Corp.!” shouted another.

“Parasol Corp. will avenge us!” the last cried.

Those were their final words. Their eyes widened, and a moment later, they were dead.

Han Wu blinked in surprise, then crouched to inspect their bodies. A quick check revealed that all three had bitten down on poison capsules hidden in their mouths. Their organization had most likely provided them to ensure they could die before revealing any secrets.

“That’s too bad... Wait, there’s one more!” Han Wu muttered, his gaze snapping upward.

He looked up toward the rooftop, where the helicopter waited. The pilot had been watching everything through his binoculars. He had seen his three comrades fall after transforming.

A wave of dread washed over the pilot. His comrades had been defeated, captured, and driven to take their own lives with the poison capsules they carried.

When he noticed Han Wu staring back at him, his scalp prickled and a horrifying chill crept down his spine. Acting on instinct, he quickly restarted the helicopter and lifted off.

The rotor thundered above him, but he couldn’t care less. This was a matter of life or death, so the noise was the least of his concerns. He pulled the helicopter higher and sighed in relief once he saw that he was thirty meters above the rooftop.

Then Han Wu’s voice sounded right beside him. “Hey, where are you going?”

The pilot jolted and whipped his head around. Han Wu was sitting leisurely inside the cabin.

“How... How did you get up here?” the pilot stammered.

“That’s not important,” Han Wu said evenly. “What matters right now is whether you want to live or not.”

The pilot swallowed his saliva and answered truthfully, “Yes. I want to live.”

“Then tell me about Parasol Corp.,” Han Wu replied. “What do they do?”

At the mention of the name, the pilot turned serious. Han Wu noticed the shift and pressed the muzzle of his gun to the man’s temple. “Seems like you’d rather die than talk.”

“Wait, I will tell you what I know. Just don’t kill me.”

Han Wu lowered his gun slightly, and the pilot started explaining what he knew about Parasol Corp. However, the information was useless because none of it contained the crucial details Han Wu needed. Thus, he pressed for more. “Just tell me the important bits.”

“The important bits?” The pilot gave a shaky laugh. “Well, we’re now 10,000 meters up. If I let go right now, we’ll both die.”

Han Wu sneered. “Do you really think you have the right to threaten me?”
