Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Amidst the glaring lights and the warm applause, Trish, who completed the hosting of her first charity reception and speech as a politician walked down from the podium, felt as though she was walking on cotton. Smiling, she continued to wave at her supporters and did not show signs of relaxation upon the completion of her speech. Instead, she unconsciously went in a daze again.

It was only until two familiar figures vaguely appeared in front of her from afar, hugged her and whispered in her ear, “My dear, what’s wrong with you?” that she finally snapped back to reality in an instant. After a moment of bafflement, she smiled wryly and said in a weak voice, “Sisters, it’s good that you two are here.”

“What’s wrong, Trish?” Upon hearing the weak and wilting tone in their best friend’s voice, Tina and Sheila asked anxiously again.

“I, I, I...” Trish opened her mouth, seemingly having innumerable words, but she did not know how to voice it out. At this time, the deep voice of Zhang Lisheng, who was following closely behind Tina, suddenly whispered from behind. “Don’t be nervous, Trish. Take it easy. Trust me, there’s always a solution to all problems.”

“Oh L-Lisheng, since w-when did you come here...” When Trish heard the voice that was always entangled in her heart, she asked in surprise. Her spirit seemed to be lifted tremendously right away.

“I just finished my inspection and came back to New Washington A tonight and just so happened to be on time for your charity reception, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to receive three cheques of 1000 dollars,” Zhang Lisheng said with a smile. “This is not a place to talk. Does Ginger Hotel’s ballroom have an attached rest room? Or shall we go to my room to talk?”

“The rest room is outside the banquet hall, come with me.” Trish took a few deep breaths of warm air and seemed to have calmed down a lot. Summoning her remaining strength, she continued to smile and wave at both sides, while leading the young man and her two best friends out of the banquet hall.

At the corridor of Ginger Hotel, when the campaign team members, who had completed their final campaigning work, saw Trish walking out, they cheered at the girl. Drax, who was the main assistant, even shouted loudly, “Trish, congratulations for successfully completing your first political activity after your successful election! I’ll give you a bit of advice, don’t be late for such an event anymore next time. According to the requirements of the contract, our contract will automatically be nulled after this reception. I’m very happy to have been able to work for you this time and if possible, I hope to be your assistant and accumulate some...”

“Drax, I’m very happy that you are willing to recommend yourself as my assistant. In fact, many of the work that you have done after the election is already in the scope of being my assistant. Because of this, I’ll ask my lawyer to draft a new contract for you,” Trish summoned up her spirit and smiled at Drax before thanking the other members of the campaign team one by one. After about five to six minutes, she said, “Thank you all for your help. I’m sorry but I don’t feel so good today so I won’t be participating in the celebration party later. But please bill the party tonight as campaign cost and I’ll pay for it. May all of you have a good time!”

“Woohoo! In order to thank Administrator Trish’s generosity, let us cheer in unison...” Upon hearing the girl’s last words, the other members of the campaign team cheered happily. Only Drax asked in concern, “Trish, you should go to the hospital if you’re not feeling well. A mental exhaustion can easily cause...”

“Alright, Mr. Drax, we’ll bring Trish to the hospital if she needs to go. See you later,” When Sheila, who was waiting impatiently by the side, saw that Drax still wanted to say a few more words, she stepped in and replied, before pulling Trish to walk along the corridor. As they walked, she continued to chuckle delightfully and whispered at Trish’s ear, “My dear, looks like your campaign assistant is smitten with you.”

“Sheila, I really wanted to say that I’m attractive so it’s inevitable for my working partner to fall for me.” Trish was stunned. Unconsciously, she glanced at Zhang Lisheng from the corner of her eyes and replied weakly, “But I really don’t have the mood to joke with you right now.”

After saying so, she stopped in front of an office attached to the ballroom on the west side of the corridor and opened the door with a room card.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Trish,” Sheila shook her head apologetically and walked into the room behind Trish. “Stop worrying, my dear. I’ll share whatever burden with you.”

“Me too, Trish!” Tina also chimed in.

“Thank you, dear sisters,” Trish smiled and switched on all the ceiling lamps on the ceiling before striding up to the opposite glass window to open the window and let the cold wind caress her hair. After staying silent for a long while, she finally summoned her courage and said, “But nobody can share the burden of this matter with me. Nobody can...”

As she was speaking, under the illumination of the bright light, the girl’s burgundy hair fluttering in the wind suddenly became lively and vivid, as though a layer of bright light had enveloped her body.

In an instant, Tina and Sheila’s jaws dropped in horror. At the same time, Zhang Lisheng growled lowly through his teeth, “Atlantis! I swear by my ancient ancestors that if you try to force this girl to do anything, I’ll make sure you pay an unimaginable cost!”

The moment the young man’s voice that contained irrepressible anger resonated, a gush of cold wind instantly overpowered the bright light in the room. Amidst the light that seemed to be distorting and escaping in the air, Trish, who was like a small unyielding candle, gradually turned around. Looking at the young man, she smiled bleakly. “Nobody is threatening me, Lisheng. I’m the one who released this brilliance. I also have supernatural powers as you now. Even though it’s weak, it’s still quite pure, isn’t it?”

“Pure? It’s indeed pure. The power of light and heat...” Looking into the girl’s eyes, Zhang Lisheng’s eyes narrowed abruptly. After a moment of silence, he growled through his teeth and said in a low voice, “But what are you thinking, Trish Steg?! If you want supernatural powers, I can give it to you as well! I only need a bit more time, a bit more time! I’d be able to transplant Gold Cores into the three of you without harm in two years at max. By that time, you’d be able to possess supernatural power, long life and eternal youth naturally! Why? Why? Why did you choose to become an Atlantean?! The enemy of Earth!”

“I didn’t become an Atlantean, no!” Trish bit her lip and shook her head. “I merely activated the recessive gene in my body to become dominant with the help of two Atlanteans. It’s only like this. And the Atlanteans are not the enemy of Earth! ”

“Do you actually believe such goddamn lies...” Zhang Lisheng roared. “Two Atlanteans? It must be the two I saw when I just came to the hotel with Tina! I’m going to kill them! I’m going to kill them...”

Just as the young man was about to transform using the lizard’s transformation power to vent out his anger by killing them, Tina, who was next to him, suddenly grabbed his hand and said in a trembling voice, “Baby, what is important now is not to vent your anger but to figure out what happened. We should calm down and listen to Trish’s story about what happened a few hours before?”

“That’s right, we need to calm down! Calm down...” Sheila, who was on the side, nodded and said, before shifting her astonished gaze onto the ‘light person’, who was gradually becoming hazy, standing by the window.

“Do you still remember our conjectures about the Aryan Special?” Looking back into her best friends’ eyes, Trish silently retrieved the brilliance on her body and collapsed to sit down on the sofa by the window. After contemplating for a long time, she suddenly whispered,”That in the ancient times, a nuclear war erupted between the Atlanteans and the Muryans from the solar age and caused the emergence of the world passage. And when they left, the mixed race that they left behind on Earth started to slowly proliferate, and finally formed the Aryan Special?”

“Of course I remember! That time, Lisheng even jokingly said that you’re an a-alien,” Tina pulled her boyfriend to sit on the sofa opposite Trish and stared at her best friend in a daze. “B-But you didn’t admit that and said that even if the conjecture was correct, you’d have become a pure Earthling after undergoing tens of thousands of years of mixing of blood.”

“Tina, don’t look at me like that. I’m still an Earthling now, I’ve just merely triggered the ability of controlling light and heat that has always been hidden in my blood,” Trish said in a weak pleading voice. ”Please...just hear me out. Our inference is both wrong and right. A nuclear war had indeed erupt between the Atlanteans and the Muryans during the solar age and Aryan Special is indeed the hybrid descendant between them and the Earthlings. However, the reason they came to Earth in the first place was not to conquer Earth but to save Earth.”

“What?” Tina and Sheila exclaimed in shock. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, sneered coldly. “Trish, I think you must have been brainwashed by the two Atlanteans. Why does Earth need allies to save us using war?”

“Because of the invasion of the foreign world, Lisheng. The gods from a certain plane constantly traverse between the world’s barriers and use a Descending Spell to cast their clones, trying to conquer the Earth to further contaminate our universe. Think about it carefully, how did Tattdu, the Muryan’s ancestors, exist in the first place?” Trish looked at the young man and recited one word at a time. “The intelligent life of the first solar era in Mayan mythology is the Tattdu, the first and the only race possessing a supernatural civilization in Earth’s history. Legend has it that this kind of person is about one meter tall and has emerald-colored skin. The men can fly and possess all kinds of extraordinary ability while the women are just ordinary gnomes. The only special thing about the women is that their uterus has the ability to communicate with the gods. Before their pregnancies, they can communicate psychically with the gods in the heavens who want to be born. If the gods are willing to be reincarnated, only then they will give birth to children... You’re a biologist. You should of course come to the question of how can a race, that only has one single gender, that possesses supernatural power of different strengths, come from natural evolution?”
