This was a debate Butcher had instigated on purpose. He didn’t care about the competition to become the leader among the students but wanted to look at the qualities of the students
The styles of the students were distinct. The people from Arbiter were mature, strong, and calm. However, they only cared about themselves and doing what was required of them. As for other people, they wouldn’t affect them.
The people of Aslan were still very active in being the first. They had strong confidence and thoughts of becoming the leader. However, it was clear that the people of Arbiter weren’t convinced and didn’t care much about it.
Although Wang Zheng was from Earth, he had achieved relatively great influence through individual strength and charisma. His influence covered both the people that were supportive of him and those that were opposing him. This in itself was enough to prove a point, and that was that they recognized Wang Zheng.
Lear was a strange existence. Butcher might look like a rough man from the outside, but his thoughts were detailed. He rarely saw a guy so rational like Lear. There were really too few people at his age that were able to not rejoice in material gains and not to woe in personal losses. He also had full control of his own emotions. This type of person would either go down in history or be condemned by posterity.
The Aslan princess, Aina, was indeed someone formidable. She might seem easy-going but was actually in full control of the tempo. Together with her advantage as a female, she demonstrated a strong stance that was hard for others to resist while still seeming gentle.
Butcher naturally knew about the international affairs. The existence of this princess could greatly showcase the influence of Aslan and could even garner more good feelings. Since she had entered the Elite Academy, the atmosphere had been different.
However, Butcher also knew that the biggest problem for a woman would be their views on love and it would be the same for the Aslan princess.
Butcher had been teaching in the Elite Academy for many years. The Elite Academy had never been as tumultuous as now. These young brats might not have noticed the importance of these experiences to their future.
Butcher had really released a lot of information kept with him today. It would seem that the security level on the relevant information had been released and the main objective today was to talk about his knowledge on the formation of the Abyss and the situation with the Zerg.
“Everyone can now see the 3 regions that we know about. Basically, the external region of the Abyss that we are controlling consists mainly of level one Zerg. Nonetheless, this region is still within control. A portion of the students from Elite Academy have visited this region too. The second region is the middle region and is what we commonly refer to as the front line. This is also the mining area. There will be battles erupting from time to time between the army and the Zerg race in this place. However, with the support of our base, we can breakeven and push ahead steadily. Over the last few years, we have also practiced restraints and did not attempt to delve deeper. However, the accidental encounters of Wang Zheng had revealed the third region to us. That place is also the central region of the Abyss.”
The demonstration map showed an endless space and the region got redder the deeper one went. There would be level two Zerg once one approached the front line of the middle region, and their fighting strength would also become very astonishing.
Everyone was staring at Wang Zheng. After all, Wang Zheng was the only one who had made it back alive from that darned place.
No amount of words were more convincing than practical actions. Butcher played some videos of the war scenes in the middle region, and the students went silent immediately. It was especially so for those students who were full of confidence before.
The fearsome fighting prowess of the Abyss Zerg was already known by everyone. However, if these Zerg were to come in groups together with level two Zerg, or even a level three Zerg as leader occasionally, the situation would have been very terrifying.
Butcher didn’t play too many videos and only chose some to get his message across. “Over these years, the Allied troops have paid a very painful price in order to gain a stable foothold in the Abyss. This isn’t simply for the mineral reserves in the Abyss but also to understand the hidden enemies. We have discovered a regular pattern, and that is that the redder the fog of the area, the higher the chances of seeing a high level Zerg appearing. In places where the red fog is not so dense, the level of the Zerg will also be lower. This is also why we have been able to occupy certain areas. However, after these years, we have also discovered another problem: the Abyss is growing and the red fog is gradually getting thicker.”
Butcher opened a magnified map, and this time, no one dared to make hasty comments.
Butcher also gave the students some time to digest this information. “If anyone has any questions, you can ask them now.”
After a short period of silence, Aina was the first to raise a question. “I wish to know if the third region of the Abyss’ core belongs to the same space dimension as the previous two regions.”
“Good question.” Butcher clapped his hand and pointed at Wang Zheng. “You can explain it to everyone.
“The reason why I’m making him answer is not only because Wang Zheng has been to the core of the Abyss. He is also one of the few authoritative figures in the study of physics, especially in the aspect of space-dimension.”
A single sentence from Butcher instantly pushed Wang Zheng to a new height. The way everyone looked at Wang Zheng changed. There might have been rumours about it, but when Butcher gave such a high assessment personally, it would have completely different meaning.
Wang Zheng switched on the laser pointer of his Skylink and pointed at the screen. “The Abyss is not merely a three-dimensional space, and for the so-called frontline of the middle region, even if we continue to push ahead, we might never see the edge of it. The core region should be part of the layer of the three-dimensional space of the Abyss. With the current spatial technology, we could go there as long as we can find the coordinates. The core region of the Abyss is in an unstable dimension. In other words, the rules of space are more lax. To put it simply, some of the Zerg have abilities in these aspects. For humans with such relevant abilities, the way the abilities work will probably be different in this place.”
At this level, Wang Zheng was definitely top-notch. However, Wang Zheng was not the only one who was great in this aspect. After all, they were in the Elite Academy.
“Student Wang Zheng, are you hinting that this dimension was created by the Zerg through some methods?” A student stood up and asked.
“Yeah, I did have such thoughts. However, it isn’t just that. I believe the external ring, the middle region, and the core region are not the entirety. The Zerg race should be in possession of some higher dimensional construction technology, and they have attempted to open a hole using their understanding of space dimension. Perhaps the difficulty of opening this hole is only below that of crossing parallel space. Due to the restraints of the rules of space-dimension, they lack some form of chance.”
Wang Zheng said.
“What is you basis? What did you feel in there?” It was still that student from before, a year four student belonging to the specialization of space-time. He was a genius from Lya Sphinx and had a non-battle space comprehension ability.
It was just a feeling, but Wang Zheng knew that he had met a professional.
“The sense of time and space are too distinct,” said Wang Zheng.
Raphael sank into deep thought. “Are you saying that you can feel it? I don’t remember you having space-related abilities.”
Wang Zheng smiled and replied, “Indeed I do not have one. However, I have the Analysis ability. Therefore, I believe that above this, there should be a higher level of space dimension and construction of time. It involves the building of dimensions and is a technology that humans are not able to comprehend now. Even if we can understand it, construction like this will also require time and specific conditions. In other words, ever since the Zerg race first entered the Milky Way, they have not given up.”
“I have another question. When you are there, can you differentiate between big and small?” Raphael’s question might sound ridiculous, but Wang Zheng felt that he had met someone who knew him. Some words were pointless to speak to some people. Even if you had explained to them, they also wouldn’t understand and it would be pointless.
“I can, but it is not stable. My judgments on big and small have some discrepancies,” said Wang Zheng.
Raphael stared blankly at Wang Zheng. “It’s really a god’s miracle that you made it out alive.”
“Are you all talking about some biblical god? You make it sound like the Zerg are god-like and we are about to be exterminated. You got to be clear in what you are saying,” sneered Gulas from the Darkness Empire.
Raphael glanced at Gulas with disdain and said, “If we talked about the technical things, would you understand them?”
Non-battle departments clearly had no reason to show respect to those in battle departments. It was especially so for those in the aspect of space-dimension and the universe, as having no respect for anyone was the norm among them.
For the following lesson, it had turned into a discussion lesson between Butcher and Wang Zheng. The two of them started a conversational description in the aspects of space dimension and biology. Everyone was dumbfounded. Who the hell was he?
Was he that Wang Zheng?
If he was wearing glasses, he would look just like a non-battle department professor.
They could understand some of the conversion while seemingly understood other parts. There were even things that they had not even heard of before.
Butcher was rather fond of such a state. This was because an open interaction like this could often stimulate some inspirations that couldn’t be thought of under normal circumstances. Wang Zheng also spoke what he felt and wasn’t as reserved as before.
Initially, Aina was still deliberating. However, unknowingly, she always felt that there was something wrong with her own perception of time. She seemed to not hear any of the voices and was just looking at Wang Zheng talking. That expression and that look were so warm, and she was longing for him.
Butcher signaled for Wang Zheng to sit down. When Wang Zheng sat, he suddenly felt a warm and smooth hand extending over.
Wang Zheng also subconsciously held on to it. It was still the same feeling. At that instant, Wang Zheng and Aina were both stunned…
