Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: The Grand Plan

In the heart of the headquarters, the anticipation in the room reached a fever pitch as a new figure entered. Shi Ming Hao, the leader of 'Project Mythos,' had arrived. His presence exuded a different kind of authority, one that evoked respect, loyalty, and, in some, a dose of fear.With a white beard that flowed like a river, Shi Ming Hao's appearance was imposing, his words bearing the weight of countless wars and countless defeats. Li Wei could easily tell he was a highly experienced veteran of war from his numerous scars and the finely carved muscle that took decades of hard work, a testament to his tough, disciplined spirit . He began to speak in measured, deliberate tones, laying out the intricate plan for Project Mythos as holograms flashed with diagrams and plans."Welcome to the headquarters for Project Mythos, future stars of China.'" he began, his voice resonant and commanding, "the time has come to fulfil your destiny and serve your country. Our mission is to harness the powers of the deities from Chinese mythology and bring them into our world, with the newly built mythology machine."Shi Ming Hao took a pause for everyone to digest his words. "You will enter the mythology realm and meet the gods of our rich mythology," he explained. "There, you will seek out the most important deities—figures like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King; Nezha, the Marshal Altar; Nuwa, the mother goddess; Yuanshi Tianzun, the Primordial Beginning; and Pangaea, the creator of land. Your task is to negotiate with them, earn their blessings, and inherit their weapons and powers."The room listened in rapt attention as the grand vision of the project unfolded. Shi Ming Hao continued, "Once you obtain these divine powers and weapons, you will join our army and begin the expansion of China's borders as the squadron "Divine Vanguard". Our goal is to conquer all lands, and extend our influence across the world. Legend says that the one who conquers all lands will ascend to godhood, we will achieve that with the power of gods!"The weight of the plan hung in the air as the participants absorbed the enormity of their mission. Their leader's words were heavy with purpose and ambition, and it was clear that they stood on the precipice of a journey that would alter the course of history. Everyone sat quietly, not moving a single inch, fully focused on their speeches, Li Wei tried his best in doing the same; it kind of worked.With the plan laid out before them, the future Divine Vanguards were filled with a sense of purpose, determination, and unity. Li Wei broadened his chest, and glanced in front of him, embracing the future, he saw more than just the wall in front of him, he saw his future self, the person who would march around war zones and slaughter enemy after enemy... Li Wei thought it was cool, but he wasn't sure if doing that was morally correct, after all, his enemies are humans just like himself, and they all deserve to live the same way as Li Wei.He later figured that it didn't matter, not in an age of destruction and brutality like his, not when everyone else would not care about his life. "Why should I care for their pathetic lives when they never thought of mine?" That sinister thought came into his mind, and he halfly believed in it."From today, the ten of you will work together as the Divine Vanguard. Get along with each other in the next fortnight"
