Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 510 - 255: Survivor’s Revenge

Wu Chang entered the conference room and uttered the first sentence, making all the media present perk up.

"Good evening, everyone. Mr. Schultz needs to dedicate himself entirely to research and has no time to oversee the company’s development, so he entrusted me to manage the company on his behalf. From today onward, I am the new chairman of Hymn Company."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "My name is Sean, Sean Brown."

The media attendees who were sent to cover the originally scheduled press conference all had a basic understanding of Hymn Company; many knew of Sean, a peculiar oddity living idly.

The news of Sean taking over as chairman was as explosive as Schultz’s retirement.

Wu Chang lightly cleared his throat, motioned downward with his hand to signal the media to calm down, and then said:

"Next, I will announce three things, and afterwards, I will hand over the rest to our news department employees."

"The first thing, my assumption of this post will not affect the rules set by Schultz. Whether it is Hymn Company’s operational philosophy, internal promotion assessment rules, or department dismantling and personnel appointments, I do not intend to make any changes."

"Everything will remain the same; Hymn Company will still be the Hymn Company known to the world."

This statement was not only addressed to the world but also to the Hymn Company employees worldwide.

The saying about new officials cracking down to establish authority is universally recognized, especially with the new manager Sean, known as a figure maneuvering through connections; no one knew how he would handle the company, making employees feel insecure.

Wu Chang’s declaration, regardless of its truthfulness, at least provided reassurance to the public on the surface.

"Secondly, as you just witnessed, our Hymn Company’s Essence Armor has been massively successful. Not just the ordinary Essence Armor, but the laboratory confidential Hymn Level Essence Armor also demonstrated outstanding effects."

"The battle earlier, I’m sure all of you recorded it live. Don’t worry if the recording wasn’t clear; we made an official recording that will be released later along with the unit parameters."

With Wu Chang’s second announcement, the audience’s attention instantly shifted from the first point.

The brawl between several giants earlier was witnessed in front of everyone.

Though the battle was highly controlled, not even leaving the plaza, unlike some monster tokusatsu shows that demolish cities for effect, it seemed more like a grand open-air AR performance.

But those who personally experienced the battle could vouch with anything that it was definitely not an ordinary show.

Everyone was extremely curious, among the three giants that fought earlier, how many were Hymn Company’s Hymn Level Essence Armor.

One, two, or all three.

Wu Chang didn’t give the audience more time to ponder and immediately continued:

"As for the third piece of news, unfortunately, it isn’t a good one for everyone else or humankind."

"The world we live in has always faced scrutiny from alien existence; the giant Buddha that appeared in the battle earlier was an alien. They visited our world thousands of years ago and attempted to rule it."

"It’s not just him; the robust man driving the ram chariot, the suited man zipping through the sky, and the woman with the Snake Staff, if you carefully look through myths from different countries, you can find similar character prototypes."

"This is no coincidence, but a planned, organized, long-term invasion."

This statement drove the media members present to the brink of madness.

What does this mean? That the prototypes of myths across the globe are all aliens?

If these words came from an unknown netizen, the audience would have dismissed him as delusional, wondering why in this day and age, someone was still playing conspiracy theories at an elementary level.

But it was Sean, the chairman of Hymn Company, who spoke these words, and added to that, a mythical level battle had just unfolded before their eyes, forcing them to ponder its authenticity.

A daring reporter stood up and asked:

"Chairman Sean, are you saying this is the background setting of the Hymn Level Essence Armor?"

Wu Chang replied, "It is the truth."

Wu Chang’s confirmation made the atmosphere below intensely explosive.

One must know, over 80% of the world’s population possesses religious beliefs, and the Federation where Hymn Company is based is a nation of religions, with most people zealously harboring steadfast beliefs in a particular religion.

Then what they believe in...

Wu Chang observed the doubt in everyone’s mind and said, "What you are thinking is correct. All the Gods in myths are, in some sense, aliens. Some integrated into us, while others chose to leave, waiting to return for harvesting when the timing is ripe."

The reporters gasped in unison, and some with poor self-control turned beetroot red, shouting about punching Wu Chang.

Before the security personnel could react, a massive figure, white at the top and black at the bottom, appeared beside the reddish reporter and effortlessly picked him up.

Once both legs left the ground, the "virus" was shut down, and cleverness reclaimed its domain.

Dangling by the back collar in mid-air, the reddish furious eyes of the reporter instantly turned clear. After being carried around the venue for two circles and set back in place, he became exceedingly well-behaved.

The massive figure flickered and appeared right behind Wu Chang the next moment.

Wu Chang calmly said, "Actually, the external conspiracy theories about Hymn Company hit part of the truth. Ever since ages ago, Hymn Company has been deciphering alien technology and consistently engaging in covert collaboration with the Federation."

"The most well-known achievement, Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery, is one such significant breakthrough. Now, we have largely decoded alien technology, and starting today, our Hymn Company will be able to bestow upon ordinary humans powers once exclusively owned by Gods as depicted in mythology."
