LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 611: Chapter 573: Disaster of Extinction! Chapter 611: Chapter 573: Disaster of Extinction! “`

With Athena’s reminder, Rocky gradually realized that Zuluo’s situation was not simple. It was very likely that he was being used or had conspired with someone to deliberately set a trap and frame him.

At the same time, Athena mentioned a crucial question: Why now?

If Zuluo’s situation was intentionally arranged by someone, why did the other party choose this particular time to take action?

This question immediately alerted Rocky, and he thought of something.

Armor and Technology!

At this point in time, the Thunderhawk City’s armament factory had just been completed, and the R&D team had also just been assembled. Both events occurred almost simultaneously, and these two matters held significant meaning for both Rocky and the outside world.

The establishment of the armament factory and the R&D team for Rocky didn’t need lengthy explanation. What’s important is that these two things also sent a signal to the outside world, indicating that Rocky intended to make a move!

Calculating the time, Aniye announced the new technology in the Eternal City back in 117, which was two years ago. Since then, in the following two years, apart from the White Demon Armor becoming increasingly known worldwide, Aniye and the others had not disclosed any information about new technologies.

But this did not mean that the world had forgotten about it. In fact, as Rocky and the White Demon Armor became more renowned, the world grew increasingly interested in Aniye and their new technology. Thus, with Rocky’s collaboration with the Apple Tree Corporation, establishing the armament factory, and then setting up his own R&D team, this series of deliberate or unintended actions was actually sending a strong signal to the outside world that after such a long silence, Aniye’s new technology must be ready for practical application!

It was likely this realization that made someone focus on Rocky, leading to today’s incident!

In other words, the events of today seemed nebulous and confusing, but the root cause still lay in Rune Technology!

At this point, someone might ask, wasn’t Rocky planning to announce the existence of runes to the public once he achieved a breakthrough in rune research? If so, even if someone coveted Aniye’s research, they just needed to wait patiently. Rocky would naturally disclose it.

This idea might seem right, but don’t forget, the decision to announce runes was only known to Rocky and Aniye; outsiders did not know that he intended to disclose this technology!

So in the eyes of others, Rocky’s recent actions signaled that he was already preparing to apply the technology he mastered into practice, and considering the past performance of the White Demon Armor, it was evident that once his technology entered the practical stage, it would inevitably cause a huge impact on the entire Armor Domain, possibly leading to significant changes!

In such circumstances, some people would definitely be unable to remain still, and more people would covet Rocky’s technology, which led to today’s events.

With Athena’s reminder, Rocky quickly figured everything out, then gradually furrowed his brow.

“Athena, could anyone still dare provoke the Sky Alliance?”

Although he had figured everything out, Rocky was still somewhat puzzled. Even if someone coveted the technology he mastered, don’t forget, all he mastered was partly owned by the Sky Alliance as well! How did he join the Alliance initially? Wasn’t it because of the Rune Technology he claimed to master? So once rune research succeeded, this technology would be shared with the Sky Alliance.

What did this mean?

It meant that if someone wanted to steal Rocky’s technology, it was equivalent to stealing the Sky Alliance’s technology, which was undoubtedly provoking the Sky Alliance!

To Rocky, this seemed somewhat unreasonable because the just-concluded great war had already demonstrated the Sky Alliance’s unfathomable strength. Especially after the war, the punishment of the Rebel Army members showcased the Alliance’s ruthlessness and skills. In such a situation, could anyone still dare challenge the Alliance?

Honestly, Rocky couldn’t quite believe it. He didn’t think that in the aftermath of the last great war, there would be anyone still daring enough to do something like that, equating it to a death wish.

As soon as he asked this, Athena laughed and gave an answer that far exceeded his expectations!

“Lord, in this matter… the Sky Alliance may not be uninvolved…”

“What did you say?”

After Athena finished speaking, Rocky was immediately stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at Athena, slightly opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he was so shocked that not a single word came out.

Was the Sky Alliance involved in this matter?

How was that possible?

“Lord, do you think, in the eyes of the Alliance, who can guarantee that you would one hundred percent hand over the technology in your possession to them?”

While Rocky was stunned, Athena’s words pulled his mind back, and hearing these words, his heart sank because Athena had touched on the most critical point!

Who could guarantee that Rocky would hand over everything he possessed to the Sky Alliance?

Could the Alliance guarantee that, based on a contract signed before?

Don’t be foolish; in the face of enormous interests, a contract wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.

In fact, forget about the Sky Alliance not being able to guarantee it; even Rocky himself couldn’t guarantee it because, according to his original plan, he never intended to share all rune-related technologies with the Sky Alliance!

According to his plan, when the time was right, he would only publicly disclose the existence of the First Level Runes, and he would never reveal the higher-level runes. Regarding the Sky Alliance, he might share more, but at most, he would share the content from Wensel’s notes. As for the new results painstakingly researched by Aniye and others in recent years, he would absolutely not share with anyone. Those would be his fundamental support in this world and must never be shared.

This was Rocky’s original plan, so if the Sky Alliance had concerns about him going back on his word, it would be perfectly reasonable because from the start, Rocky never intended to share everything with them.

This thought of his, Athena had evidently seen through long ago, but that wasn’t crucial. After all, Athena foresaw many things, and this didn’t matter much. The truly important question was whether the Sky Alliance had figured out Rocky’s intentions!?

If the Sky Alliance had also seen through his tricks, then…

Catastrophe!

At this thought, four words suddenly surfaced in Rocky’s mind: Catastrophe!
