Chapter 1418: Chapter 534: As Skillful as One’s Own Arm, the Resolve to Charge the Battlefield

At this point, Ren Zhong has decided no longer to hide his capabilities.

He has already harnessed early publicity to create sufficient social recognition for himself.

Those gazes distributed across the Empire and then converging simultaneously on him from an infinite distance will become his amulet.

He never engages in meaningless actions.

Originally, he could have ended Augustus Academy’s deciphering prematurely, yet not only did he refrain from doing so, he even developed Sera Augustus and Vittel Haddon as insiders, then covertly guided the entire affair through them, then had Jin Simin testify at the Nanxiang Chief Court, and finally concluded the trial himself in a dramatic manner, making the Augustus family shoot themselves in the foot. From start to finish, the entire affair has always been merely part of his plan.

An unexpected variable appeared along the way, namely the arrival of Baron Han Zhixin. However, this did not disrupt Ren Zhong’s plan, instead allowing him, a reserved man, to use the opportunity to tell Ju Qingmeng in his own way about his concern for her, and his sense of responsibility, even further elevating the fame Ren Zhong desired.

After researching the history, law, and system of the Mechanical Empire, Ren Zhong understands clearly that for this enormous empire, which is falling behind in the four major human branches and whose plight is worsening, whether it’s the Royal Family representing imperial power, the nobility representing vested interests, or the naive commoners who just wish to live well, all are awaiting a new Chosen One to save them, as has happened every time in the past.

Thus, every gaze fixed on him is a protective charm upon him.

It frees him from the worry of being the tallest tree attracting the most wind, without concern about being too dazzling and thus caught as a test subject.

Because Ren Zhong has foresighted another event.

Shortly after this war ends, a catastrophic incident will undoubtedly occur within the Nanxiang Star Cluster, sweeping everyone into its vortex, and also making it difficult for the Empire to easily touch him.

Now, wearing the identity of a suspected Chosen One, along with the enormous gazes from billions of people, and the image of Earl Red Blade ingrained in billions of hearts have merged into a massive protective talisman, allowing him to finally cease hiding and completely unleash his inherent brilliance.

After a century of lying dormant, continuously enhancing his strength, continually accumulating influence, first breaking through Nanxiang Marquis’s blockade via personnel expatriation, then transforming the Shattered Star Ring into a base outside the Empire’s system, and leveraging invisible coatings and other technologies to gradually enter the Royal Academy of Sciences’ sightline, using a lawsuit to make his name resound, ultimately, he has been waiting for this exhilarating battle to establish his position.

The scale of this war might be insignificant to the entire Empire, but the events occurring within it are certainly worth remembering. This is precisely what he wants to prove—that pure-blooded Empire humans still possess the potential of becoming planet-level or constant star-level cosmic powerhouses.

At this moment, Ren Zhong possesses not only the intelligence and creativity universally acknowledged to make him a top scientist within the Empire, but his infinite split genes and eternal lifespan have also granted him the traits of an Ascendant, while super consciousness upload, data channels within his brain, and the virtualized thoughts that can be solidified in a brain chip make him seem like a Pilgrim, and his predictive abilities derived from communicating with the universe’s background information are precisely one of the ultimate abilities sought by the Spirit Demon Race.

In a sense, he embodies all the advantages of the four major human branches in one person.

What he lacks is merely the sedimentation of time. He ought to be in the spotlight.

Subjugated, almost suffocated by suppression from the three major powers, the Mechanical Empire truly has no reason to abandon such a "Chosen One" who can reverse the situation like him.

Over two hundred medium-sized ships, controlled by Ren Zhong’s parallel thoughts, suddenly executed a short-range jump, rushing ahead before the Pirate intercept fleet could fire their energy weapons, crossing a significant distance to appear boldly at the center of the enemy formation, then went ahead to unleash fire crazily in all directions before the surrounding enemy ships could react and activate their force field shields.

These mere two hundred plus medium-sized ships immediately stirred up massive chaos.

A large area of the Pirate Alliance fleet nearby scrambled to prepare to engage the enemy, but the hasty redirection of the ships appeared utterly chaotic.

Some ships hadn’t even completed turning, without time to use optical systems for locking, they hurriedly launched missiles, hoping that the optical tracking systems of the missiles would auto-lock onto enemy ships by chance. But most of these chance-seeking missiles ended up locking onto their own large ships nearby.
