Capítulo 43: Chapter 43: Abyss of Superpowers
The Wilson President Hotel is located by the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva, right next to Geneva's most beautiful lakeside promenade, nestled in the prime commercial district, a quiet oasis.
From the meeting room in the presidential suite, one can enjoy a picturesque view of the lake and the Mont Blanc mountain.
The Presidential Suite is decorated with a combination of fine marble and exquisite wood materials, displaying a modern artistic style.
H'el's indifference made the members of the Human Self-Saving Association realize that they didn't need to hide in the sewers for their meetings. Whether underground or in the sky, He can perceive their presence, hear their voices, and boldly challenge them.
They had shifted from the underground to the luxurious and opulent Presidential Hotel.
The sky and the underground were two extremes.
Jupiter and seven members of the Human Self-Saving Association were here to check and remove surveillance, using coded language for communication.
"BJ's Large Electron-Positron Collider, Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator, Large Electron-Positron Collider at CERN, Stanford Linear Collider, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Proton-Antiproton Collider, Hamburg Electron Synchrotron Research Institute's Electron-Proton Collider, Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the High-Energy Accelerator Research Organization's High-Intensity Proton Accelerator... All the large particle accelerators and colliders on Earth were lifted from underground by Him and brought to the Jurassic Mountains, currently the largest particle accelerator on Earth."
"Before I came here, Dawn had already provided detailed blueprints and issued orders, mobilizing all the scientists and engineers in the world to build the Crystal Nuclear Energy Fusion Accelerator according to the plans."
"Everyone, we don't have much time."
"The scientists of the Association have given us a doomsday deadline, only three years. In three years, the Crystal Nuclear Energy Fusion Accelerator, constructed by the world's scientists, will be completed."
"Each activation of the Crystal Nuclear Energy Fusion Accelerator will consume 40% of humanity's resources."
"Humanity can't sustain such consumption."
Jupiter's sharp gaze swept across the members present. Her delicate hand clenched into a fist, pounding on the mahogany round table, producing a dull sound.
"To prevent, to delay the completion of the Crystal Nuclear Energy Fusion Accelerator, we don't yet possess the power."
"It's useless. Over three hundred Association members disguised as construction crew members, intending to blow up and disrupt the construction process of the accelerator, were instantly turned into blood mist."
"He allows us to strike at Him but not at His matters."
"Three years... Can our current power hurt Him?"
"Do we need to initiate Gaia early?"
"Gaia won't work anymore. I went to see him two days ago, he or it has already merged with the Earth's magnetic field, devoid of human emotions and thoughts, it's 'dead', truly becoming 'Gaia,' and it says it won't act against Him. His worth, as a single individual, surpasses the combined life on Earth. We lost a member who controlled the four fundamental forces. I just hope it won't destroy humanity for the sake of the Earth in the end."
"This is just terrible news. Thank you for letting me know that Gaia, who controls the Earth's magnetic field, the most powerful among humans, has become our potential enemy. I'm starting to feel despair."
"Edward once made Him fall from the sky."
"But it was only for an instant. Now, he's like someone with Parkinson's, trembling from time to time, with only two hours of clarity each day, he's done for."
"What about Kinetic Kid? Accumulated kinetic energy in three years, can it kill Him?"
"It's useless. Lazarus has gone off course. It's expected that three months from now, he'll be orbiting the Earth, then he'll run out into space. In three years, he'll almost reach Venus and collide with it. Instead of killing Him, we'll first encounter the impact and environmental changes caused by Venus's explosion. I just hope he doesn't blow up Venus."
"This is too bad."
The use of superpowers isn't as simple as they imagined.
They might be the representatives of humanity's highest intelligence, learning any knowledge hundreds of times faster than ordinary people, including becoming familiar with superpowers, which is also hundreds of times faster than ordinary people.
But this speed of understanding brought with it unrestrained experimentation, greed for greater control, and delving into deeper abysses.
Those who gaze into the abyss are also gazed upon by the abyss.
Gaia aimed to control the entire Earth's magnetic field, and even just the magnetic field of the Australian plate had already transformed it into a deity. It lacked human emotions and thoughts, no longer thinking as humans do.
Lazarus was unstoppable; no one could halt the accumulation of his kinetic energy as he ran out of Earth and into the cosmos.
Everything did not develop as they had hoped.
Jupiter's eyes flashed with sadness. Before Lazarus started running, he still harbored hope that Jupiter would eventually adjust his course and collide with H'el.
But the time for that had not yet arrived, and Lazarus had already run out of Earth...
"What about the Molecular Man? He can enter His cell crevices and damage His neural synapses and brain cells."
"The Molecular Man has already merged himself and his team of one hundred and thirty scientists into the microcosm, becoming a part of it. They also took the global species gene library from Svalbard Longyear City to create a microcosmic human civilization."
"Did he succeed?"
"Who knows? His final communication indicated his intention to understand Dawn at a microscopic level, then lay a proton flat, inscribing it with circuits, creating a proton computer, and using countless duplicated proton computers to deduce the birth of atoms, positrons, electrons, and even photon-based life."
"He intends to arrange the cosmos through microscopic particle manipulation."
Someone shuddered at the thought. Molecular Man was incredibly insane.
If Molecular Man succeeded, they could hardly imagine what kind of civilization it would be. With civilization arranging cosmic materials, any civilization, any material, would be laid bare under the microscopic civilization's scrutiny.
The microscopic civilization would be the beginning of the universe, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations, freely manipulating the four fundamental forces, coexisting with the universe, and observing the loneliness of the universe.
In comparison, they felt as small as dust, confronting a deity while still on Earth.
"Damn it. If He hadn't conscripted my scientific team, I could have researched even more potent methods, even to the point of destroying Him."
"He has locked us within individual biological bodies, preventing us from using equipment and constantly forcing us to research the evolution towards superpowered beings, continuously extracting nutrients."
"Even if you still have a scientific team, what difference does it make? Your superpower is only invisibility."
"Heh, don't underestimate invisibility. I can..."
