From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 260 - 213: Unexpected Conscript

Lu Heng remembered that in his previous life, the superpower potion incident was global, with Superpower Users all over the world frantically injecting the stuff.

But this time around, the superpower potions circulated mainly within Da Xia.

The Iron Blood Investigation Bureau was responsible for investigating the channels through which superpower potions entered the market. Chen Linian and Gao Zhitin continued to work overtime for many days, only able to sleep four to five hours a day.

To stop the circulation of superpower potions, Iron Blood even issued bounties.

Lu Heng also found it strange, so he and Su Muyu investigated a channel trafficking superpower potions.

It turned out that these superpower potions were not produced domestically but imported from abroad.

These superpower potions were not circulating in other countries; they were all entering Da Xia.

No further investigation was needed for any discerning person to see that it was a conspiracy.

Clearly, the mastermind behind the scenes knew what kind of disaster superpower potions could cause, especially the low-quality ones, whose side effects were even more severe.

If superpower potions were not banned, it would only be a matter of time before massive numbers of Superpower Users began injecting themselves with these potions.

Within two months, tens of millions of domestic Superpower Users would experience side effects and then kill each other over the superpower potions.

In the most brutal periods, there would even be Superpower Users consuming the blood of other Superpower Users.

This was because the highest quality superpower potions were extracted from the blood of Superpower Users.

Directly consuming fresh blood could also provide another's Source Energy and could be considered a lower-purity form of superpower potion.

By that time, it would be the darkest moment of the disaster when it reached the point of cannibalism.

Lu Heng was concerned that the Academy of Sciences' labs couldn't predict such situations, so during a call with an Academician from the Defense Science Academy, he proposed an experimental scheme.

They injected two mice with superpower potions and then confined them together for experimentation.

Within a week, the two mice began to bite each other, and one devoured the other.

The biological laboratory of the Academy of Sciences conducted several batches of experiments and ultimately confirmed the conclusion that when organisms injected with superpower potions experienced withdrawal reactions, they would cannibalize each other.

Once this phenomenon occurred in humans, the horror was unimaginable.

Consequently, the Defense Science Academy recommended, for the third time, that the ban on superpower potions be intensified.

Any individual or organization within the territory who dared to produce, transport, or sell superpower potions had to be arrested and severely punished.

After executing a batch of criminals who risked danger, these people began to fear.

Because only Da Xia had such harsh enforcement of the superpower potion ban, selling superpower potions within its territory had become a deadly risk.

In contrast, in other countries, selling superpower potions would not result in any punishment.

Therefore, the superpower potions originally intended to enter Da Xia began to spread to other countries.

A single dose of low-quality superpower potion could sell for 500,000 to 600,000, and with such huge profits, superpower potions gradually began to proliferate.

Even within the White Eagle Federation, superpower potions began to appear on a large scale.

Financial capital only cared about making money, not the side effects that would occur after injecting superpower potions.

This resulted in the very conspiracy intended for Da Xia backfiring on some countries.

Some countries that opened this Pandora's box were unable to close it again, reaping their just deserts.

...

As time entered the tenth month of Abyss Descent.

Suddenly one day.

While Lu Heng was practicing swordsmanship, Su Muyu ran over and showed a photo on her phone, saying,

"Look at this! I saw it on the foreign internet—is this a Bansel person?"

The photo was quite blurry, but having lived in Stone Hammer Castle among the Bansel Clan for several days, they were well acquainted with this shorter Species and recognized them at a glance.

"It's a Bansel person, where did you see it?"

"I saw it on the foreign internet—someone posted that they found strange Dwarfs in the Edo Suburbs."

Su Muyu explained how she came across the photo, then pondered and asked, "Could it be that a Superpower User brought the Bansel people to Blue Star?"
