# Chapter 1482: Humanity's Flaw
As Barti's words fell, a blast even more intense than before took shape!
The blazing white orb of light expanded wildly within the Silver Moon Force Field!
It even tore through the clouds above!
Dezette's face turned pale!
You can atomically reconstruct yourself, but I can't?
Terrified, he frantically burrowed deep into the earth to escape the energy impact of the helium flash!
At this moment, Martin and the others were nearly fuming!
We haven't even made our move yet, and you're about to send us all to the grave!
At this rate of destruction, they'll never open the formation!
How is Vieni supposed to get in?
You damn fool!
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently, and the energy barrier of the God-Slaying Spell Array fluctuated wildly, as if it might shatter at any moment!
The inscriptions on the twelve replica curse pillars blazed brighter than ever before!
If not for the God-Slaying Spell Array, Silver Moon City would have already vanished from the lunar surface!
The power of this force was awe-inspiring to the point of reverence!
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled!
(*งﾟロﾟ)ง "Hey～ Sister Bingbing, if we catch him and lock him up as a tool man!"
"Can we master controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source?"
Li Bing nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
What the hell, catch him and use him as a tool man!
You want to catch both the Star-Devouring Giant Worm and Barti?
He's so strong, how are you going to catch him?
Beside them, Jiang Tianchen clasped his hands together in frantic prayer!
(‧̣̥̇⋟ʃƪ⋞‧̣̥̇) "Moon, Moon, don't break apart, and I'll kneel to you later!"
Even Barti couldn't sustain helium-3 nuclear fusion continuously!
It could only be done in an instant, but the energy released in that single moment was enough to shake the heavens!
That's why it was called a helium flash!
After the explosion, Barti, whose body had been blasted beyond recognition, atomically reconstructed himself again!
Staring at the still-intact God-Slaying Spell Array, his expression darkened!
（˶‾᷄～‾᷅）"Still not giving in? Fine! Then let's take it slow!"
"Helium flash!"
"Boom!"
෴༼-`☀︎´-༽෴
The searing white light descended once more!
This time, everyone finally understood why they called this guy Pandora's Box!
Years ago, humanity invented the atomic bomb—the pinnacle of the era of thermal weapons!
And in doing so, they opened Pandora's Box, gaining the power to destroy themselves!
Barti's existence was the box itself!
No wonder every nation feared him!
Yang Jian's eyes were dark with fury: (ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Blocking the door and setting off firecrackers, forcing us to agree to Maple Leaf Nation's terms?"
"This is going too far! Nightingale! Notify the Southern War Zone to activate missile silos numbered 071 to 943, target Maple Leaf Nation's territory, and prepare for launch!"
"Firepower is justice; within range lies truth. You want war? I'm game!"
Jiang Tianchen exclaimed in shock: ∑(°口°๑) "Are we really sending care packages over there? Maple Leaf Nation has nuclear weapons too! If we actually start an exchange, that's no small matter!"
The bitter fruits of war always fall on the common people!
Yang Jian gritted his steel teeth: "I don't want this either! At this time, we shouldn't be feuding internally. I'm not asking for full cooperation, but at least mind your own business and don't cause trouble!"
"But is it enough that we want that? Are they giving us a chance to negotiate? Blocking the door and shelling us, wanting to borrow the Star Gate? And if we don't comply, they'll tear down our home?"
"Am I supposed to owe them something?"
Hua Xia only wanted to develop for now and prepare for the potential One-Eyed assault before dawn.
But clearly, some nations didn't think that way.
They can't stand others doing well; they're jealous and bitter!
With a great enemy at the door and crisis looming, the ideal scenario would be sincere cooperation to face the threat together.
But unfortunately, the ideal world doesn't exist in reality.
Jiang Ning was also quite helpless about this.
This is humanity—they'll never think about unity and sticking together until the knife is at their throat and drawing blood.
Infighting, disputes, putting profit first—such conflicts sometimes bring progress, but they also bring destruction.
History has already proven this, but humanity never learns from it.
That's human nature, and also a fundamental flaw.
Faced with this situation, should Hua Xia open up its resources for Maple Leaf Nation's use?
That's nonsense—Hua Xia isn't that saintly. Otherwise, wouldn't all those helium flashes from Barti have blasted out a few pounds of relics?
Even if they did give in, those people would probably be thinking about stabbing them in the back later.
They're all the type to climb all over you if you give an inch.
The only thing to do is to counterattack with an even tougher stance. You're hard? Then I have to be harder!
But the result of doing this is escalating the conflict, which is even worse for the current situation.
It feels like falling into an endless loop.
Han Menglu said anxiously: (◉﹏◉‧̣̥̇) "The God-Slaying Spell Array's energy collection is almost full! If we take another hit..."
Yang Jian's expression hardened, and he was about to speak when Jiangnan quickly ran behind him, massaging his shoulders with a grin.
(͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Brother Jian, Brother Jian, calm down! I'll handle this!"
"Beat him up a bit, teach him a lesson, and he won't dare come causing trouble again, right?"
Everyone was stunned at these words.
Beat him? You?
He's a Dao Heaven Seven-star powerhouse, and his ability is the terrifying atomic control!
Standing outside and spamming helium flashes, we have no way to counter him!
Even getting close to him is a luxury!
You're going to beat him?
Not to mention, among all these people in Silver Moon City, there really doesn't seem to be anyone who can beat him!
Yang Jian swallowed hard: (•︠﹏•︡??) "Are you sure you can beat Barti?"
Jiangnan flashed a mischievous grin: (՞ټ՞) "Barti's nothing? I still beat my little brother Odin, didn't I?"
"This guy is indeed strong, but since I can't take him head-on, can't I play dirty?"
Yang Jian's mouth twitched, recalling Jiangnan's glorious track record, and shuddered violently.
"If things go wrong, teleport back into the array immediately. We can still hold here!"
Jiangnan patted his chest confidently: (づ︶.̮︶) "Leave it to me! You can count on me!"
Xia Yao snickered beside him. Little Nan definitely has some trick up his sleeve again, right?
After another wave of helium flashes, Barti curled his lips into a smirk.
(๑￣ٹ￣) "Still won't give in? Want me to try a few more shots?"
Martin: !!!
Come on! Please, big bro, stop blasting! I can't take it anymore!
Just then, Jiangnan quickly raised both hands with a bright smile.
ฅ₍ᐢ´꒳`ᐢ₎ฅ "No no no～ Harmonious society, let's talk nicely, okay? You want to negotiate? Then let's negotiate!"
Barti turned his head and spat. *⁂(乛ε乛) "Pfft! You little brat, who asked you to speak? Do you know your place?"
"Let someone who can make decisions talk!"
Jiangnan: ???
Hey hey hey! Bro! Did you just spit into your helmet?
He put on a saintly smile.
"I can make decisions. I'm the one who brought back the Star Gate! Old-timer, don't be so hot-tempered!"
Barti's eyes widened: (͡ಠ益͡ಠ) "Who are you calling old! You were so tough just now, and now you're backing down?"
"Some people just won't cry until they see the coffin. A couple of slaps and they settle down!"
"If you want to talk, open the formation and let me in to negotiate!"
Jiangnan put on a look of fear: ₍ᐢ⇀﹏↼ᐢ₎ "I didn't know you were this strong before, bro! After seeing your helium flash, I'm totally in awe!"
"Now I know there's always someone better out there! You're amazing, bro! Truly amazing!"
"With your strength, there are probably very few on Blue Planet who can match you, right?"
"Even Odin is probably no match for you!"
Everyone stared speechlessly at Jiangnan. Did you switch accounts?
Jiang the Flatterer is online?
Barti's smile grew more smug: (๑︶ٹ︶) "Good that you know. Odin might have made a name internationally these past few years, but only because I hadn't shown up."
"If I came out, there might not be any Odin left!"
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly: ₍ᐢ･᷄ﻌ･᷅ᐢ₎ "Right, right! So, big bro, since you're so strong, how would we dare let you into the city to negotiate?"
"Even a single breath from you probably has immense power. Your farts might even contain helium gas!"
"And if you accidentally blow Silver Moon City into the sky, where would we go to cry?"
Li Bing beside him couldn't help but laugh. What the hell, farts containing helium-3?
Barti: ???
What? Are you afraid I can do nuclear fusion with my farts?
"Fine, fine! We'll talk out here then! If I really wanted to, a mere formation couldn't stop me!"
Yang Jian nodded.
Han Menglu opened the formation, and Jiangnan cleared his throat.
Wang Dalei and Chen Daoyi voluntarily followed behind Jiangnan.
Even Craig followed!
They couldn't let Jiangnan face the enemy alone; they had to maintain some face.
But Barti wasn't afraid. These little shrimps probably couldn't even get close to him!
The four of them exited the formation, but no one noticed that miniature Vieni had taken advantage of the opening to sneak into the formation.
Martin had originally wanted to create a disturbance, but now that Barti and Dezette had taken over, it was even easier!
The four stood before Barti.
Outside the formation, although the area had been blasted beyond recognition, it was still within the Silver Moon Force Field.
The moon laurel silver vine sprouts were stubbornly growing again, sprouting tender shoots.
Dezette also crawled out from underground.
Barti waved his hand, extracting countless iron atoms and rearranging them into a negotiation table.
Behind him and Dezette, chairs formed, and they sat down.
Barti even propped his legs up on the table and raised an eyebrow at Jiangnan.
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "So? How do you want to negotiate?"
Wang Dalei's forehead bulged with a dozen veins. So much swagger?
(ꐦ͡⚆◡͡⚆ꐦ)
Can you be any more arrogant?
Jiangnan cursed inwardly. Normally, I'm the one negotiating in this posture!
You've learned my essence, haven't you?
Give you an inch, and you take a mile, huh? Think you're a big shot now?
But on the surface, he still wore a brilliant smile: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Well, that depends on what you want?"
