The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 21: helix the conqueror

Clark and Leo were relaxed, as they leisurely watched the new famous cartoon series, Tom and Jerry Return. This series was a continuation of the famous blockbuster cartoon, Tom and Jerry.

The difference between both series is that the plot is different, and a lot of high-grade technology is utilized in it to enhance the experience of those watching it.

Movies are far more interesting this age, due to the huge technological adaptations made to them.

It was just a pity that at this age, practically everyone had a muscled-filled brain, falling in love with only the professions that are related to the military. You hardly see a kid that will proudly proclaim that he wants to become an artist in the future. Instead, they'll all want to become soldiers.

During the duration of their 5-year course cadet training, they were practically cut off from the rest of the world to undergo training. Thankfully, because of the pressure caused by the Moca republic, theyll have to graduate 2 years early.

Apart from Leo, Clark had no other friend, or better still he didnt have the spare time to make other friends.

Before the graduation advanced tech training started, they trained from morning till evening every day. Only Sundays were allocated for them as a day of rest.

A century ago, humans couldnt have a breakthrough in strength, nor do they even have an idea of the phrase, breakthrough in strength.

Due to the discovery of exotics and the rapid increase in technological skill, some military organizations decided to push their soldiers harder, to match their strength with the increasing knowledge and technological breakthroughs.

They did this by engaging them in more rigorous training and exposing them to more harrowing encounters. After the advent of implants and augments technology, the military decided to adopt the technology on animals, leading to the first augmented animals.

Their intent at first was to create more dangerous training partners for their soldiers. But through a mixture of luck, and a lot of other factors, the first exobeast was created.

This is an abomination created from peak human technology and the uniqueness of living beasts, given to them by God, The creator of all life. Currently, the strongest exobeast alive can take on a soldier who already had his/her 5th breakthrough.

As big as the Sparta republic is, the strongest soldiers around are those who already had their 5th breakthrough. Higher leveled soldiers are mostly found in the big 5 organizations and countries, including some other organizations with deep foundations.

Humans experience the breakthrough phenomenon only because of the presence of exobeasts. Exobeasts have a kind of pressure field, always around them.

Normal soldiers going solo against exobeasts was always a far-fetched dream. But this mentality changed after the legendary Aragan soldier, Helix the Conqueror emerged.

Helix was the first human to experience a breakthrough, as he led the Aragan army to dominate in this era of exotics.

After leading and emerging victorious from a lot of military campaigns during the great war, the source of his strength was later discovered. The whole world thought it was a superpower, but it was later proved as a marvel of science.

After a lot of calculations, research, and experiments by some big-name doctors and scientists. It was later discovered that there was a 1% chance for soldiers to experience a breakthrough if they break their limits when fighting an exobeast.

The percentage becomes slightly higher when said soldier emerges victorious.

By soaking yourself in the pressure exerted by an exobeast during a battle, and if possible defeating it, humans can evolve into higher existences.

Through this phenomenon, they receive boosts in strength, endurance, intelligence, and a load of other attributes. High-grade soldiers dont have superpowers, they are just humans that broke their limits.

After a breakthrough, the soldier's body metabolism rate and other essential body functions increase exponentially, bringing increased strength and intelligence. It is just like they are constantly under the influence of adrenaline. This increases, as a soldier undergoes other subsequent breakthroughs.

This discovery led to countries relying mostly on soldiers who already had breakthroughs as the main force in battles. Helix once said that a high-grade soldier armed with weapons created from high-grade exotics is invisible.

He was not wrong, as this has been proven countless times in battles and wars involving countries.

The big 5 used their high-grade soldiers in the great battle of supremacy to dominate, which was one of the main reasons why they snowballed to become the winners.

Soldiers who already had breakthroughs were categorized as high-grade soldiers, while their normal counterparts were categorized as low-grade or just normal soldiers. The great battle of supremacy 50 years ago, solidified this hierarchy between soldiers.

Due to the increase in the need for exotics, the relationship between countries became thorny as they eyed each others exotics and resources. This escalated into the great battle, as all hell broke loose.

During this period of war, the big 5 came into power as their high-grade soldiers spearheaded their offensive, as they bulldozed and massacred. Offending military soldiers death became rampant, as countries fell almost every week.

They solidified their rule during this period of chaos, as they spread the terror of high-grade soldiers throughout the earth.

Every child grew up knowing the strength and terror of the big 5, including the prestige and strength of high-grade soldiers. So, when Clark and Leo had their breakthrough, they were naturally ecstatic. It was just a dream come true to them, as they rejoiced for being among the lucky 1% who did it.

Throughout the rest of the day, they both excitedly discussed the legend of Araga and Helix the conqueror.

...

That night, Clark dreamt a very weird but satisfying dream. He dreamt of being the good buddy of the legend Helix the conqueror, as they both demolished and conquered countries left and right.

They spread their terror to all corners of the earth, as through combining their strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses, they became invisible on the battlefield.

His imaginations during the day were finally materializing as a dream to him.

He smiled throughout his sleep that night. Oh, how sweet the feeling of boundless power.
