Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start

Chapter 178: Threat

The control room was where the king and the scientists were.

“Mr. Soan, you’re not from Earth, are you?” That was Lulukil Kabaron, the Atlantean king.

“Who gave you the permission to ask questions?”

Kabaron’s face darkened when he heard that.

One of the scientists yelled at Himmel Soan, “How dare you speak to our king like that?! This is an insult! Apologize now, or those Earthlings are dead!”

Himmel Soan smirked. “Apologize? You must be dreaming. I’ll kill ten of you for every Earthling you kill. I can kill you right now if I want to!”

Himmel Soan’s mental force should not be underestimated.

He could kill people with it!

He had been weak for too long. Otherwise, he would never have needed the space cannon. He could have done it with his mental force alone.

“You’re so arrogant, Himmel Soan! Do you really think you’re the God of Earth? You can’t take down the entire Atlantis on your own!”

“Atlantis, as in the lost civilization? I see. You’re Atlanteans.” Himmel Soan had been wondering what this kingdom under the sea was. He now knew the answer.

“Mr. Soan, we admire your ability. You can’t be a scientist of the fourth age. You must be from the sixth age, and you can travel through time and space, can’t you? You came to Earth from another time! However, there’s only one of you, and scientific research can’t be done by one person! We’ve seen the blueprint of your space cannon; it’s ingenious! You’ve inspired us! However, do you seriously think you can take on the entire Atlantis all by yourself?

“Atlantis is in the fifth age, and we have matching scientists as well. I’m sure even if we can’t outwit you, we can still outrun you with our sheer numbers. You’re the only sixth-age scientist. Mr. Soan, have you played games before?”

Himmel Soan shouted, “Cut to the chase. Stop asking questions!”

The scientist’s face darkened, and he smirked. “You’re a genius working among fools! Even if you’re not fighting against capable enemies, those people will pull you back! Look at those Earthlings that have been kneeling at the ocean! You’ve been trying to help them, but they showed no gratitude and were even lashing out at you! Why would you side with them?”

Kabaron said, “Mr. Soan, why don’t you join Atlantis? I’ll make you our leading scientist. You’ll be worshiped and respected the way I am. How does that sound? That’s much more than you can ever get from the Earthlings!”

Himmel Soan only said one sentence in reply, “I’ll never trust an alien race.”

Atlanteans weren’t humans. They might look like humans, but they had scales on their elbows and knees.

They didn’t have those at first, but having lived at the bottom of the ocean made them look more like fish. But their human traits hadn’t disappeared; they still had all four limbs.

Himmel Soan would be an alien among them. The Atlanteans would never treat him as one of their own. After they took over Earth, the first thing they would do was execute Himmel Soan.

It was something Himmel Soan had seen many times before in that strange world.

Would Earthlings accept some alien that had fins and scales?

Would they?

Of course not!

They couldn’t even accept a different skin color. People of certain races were still given derogatory names. They might say they would accept a new member, but only they themselves knew their real thoughts.

Therefore, Himmel Soan would never do such reckless things.

Of course, he would never join Atlantis no matter what, not if they made him the king, let alone a leading scientist.

A king?

Himmel Soan had been a king before!

Back in that strange world, he used to be the supreme ruler with countless followers. He had an army of at least 50 billion soldiers.

He used to rule a trillion people at one time.

Even the owner of planets would address him as the supreme lord.

A mere Atlantis was too petty for him. Even ruling Earth was beneath him. He was tired of living like that, which was why he tried his best to return to Earth.

No matter how wonderful the other world was, it wasn’t home.

Earth was home, even if it was a garbage dump.

“Mr. Soan, I see that you’re determined to fight against Atlantis.

“Fight against you? You’re not worth it! I only kept you alive because you still have some value. Give me all the essence stones at the bottom of the ocean, and I’ll spare your lives. Do that. or I’ll wipe Atlantis off the face of Earth in three days!”

What?!

The screen went dark after that.

Himmel Soan disappeared.

“My lord, that was outrageous!

“He’s just a sixth-age scientist! Why is he so arrogant? How dare he threaten us? My lord, we shouldn’t wait any longer! Let’s activate the wishing power engine and let the sixth age begin!”

Kabaron clenched his fists and hesitated.

Atlantis still needed more wishing power. Forcing the AI to change its core now would only have the opposite result.

They had collected 400 million points of wishing power, a long way from 2 billion.

“Get Mr. Roams, our top scientist, here! We must lock down Atlantis right now and block all our signals. We can’t let Himmel Soan invade us again!”

“Is it necessary?”

Roams was a genius scientist, but he was a nutjob as well!

He was the current leading scientist in Atlantis and was considered to be as important as the king.

He was far more talented than any other scientist in Atlantis. Many Atlanteans even suspected that he came from the sixth age.

Although Roams was very talented, he wasn’t right in his mind either. He always had odd behaviors and didn’t get along well with the others.

He never did his research in the Atlantean way. Instead, he always had his own opinions.

Atlantis didn’t try to change him either. The machine octopus he built last time had killed three Atlanteans. No one knew what he was working on now.

If another octopus charged out when they went to get him, more Atlanteans would die.

Kabaron said, “Only Roams can handle that Himmel Soan. We don’t have a choice! We have to get him, or Atlantis will be in trouble!
