Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1310: The World's Powerhouses

Only two Epsilon-level superhumans from the Huaxu Kingdom, Shengjing's 【Houtu】 Guan Longyue and 【Ksitigarbha King】 Shang Daowen, remained unencountered by Zhang Yi.

According to Yang Xinxin's intelligence, Houtu was described as petite, which did not align with the figures seen that night. Even if their physical appearances could be altered, their unique abilities could not be masked.

As for Shang Daowen, there was a distinct lack of detailed information regarding his powers.

Tapping the man's name on the display, Zhang Yi instructed, "A question mark should be placed next to this individual's designation."

Zhou Ke'er promptly inquired, "But what about the remaining two figures?"

Zhang Yi responded, "If they are not hidden powerhouses from our major regions, then they must originate from beyond our borders." He stroked his chin thoughtfully, stating with calm conviction, "Most likely from outside our territory."

Epsilon-level superhumans radiated too much brilliance to remain concealed.

Such extraordinary individuals would find it exceedingly difficult to evade discovery, even if they actively sought obscurity.

Especially now, with the global power structure in disarray, nations were eager to assert their strength.

While they might hesitate to reveal their ultimate trump cards, they would undoubtedly ensure their presence was known.

Yang Xinxin meticulously examined the two images presented.

She swiftly processed and cross-referenced the available intelligence on these individuals within her mind.

"Neon Pirate, the recently emerged Epsilon-level prodigy. Following the conflict at Star Island, he capitalized on the weakened states of the Pelican and Izumo organizations to ascend. He now stands as the most formidable superhuman within the Neon Pirate collective."

"Fremons, the 【Fire God Dazhbog】 Ivanov..."

"From the Vatican City's 【Crusaders】 organization, Cardinal Arnold Olib..."

"Britannia's 【Knights of the Round Table】, led by Arthur Pendragon..."

"Columbus Ocean, the sovereign of the seas, and... the newly ascended Epsilon 【Piercer】..."

Yang Xinxin analyzed their profiles sequentially.

Several faces among this list were recognizable.

However, Zhang Yi and his companions had no direct interaction with the majority of these figures.

Furthermore, significant gaps existed in their intelligence, particularly concerning their abilities. For many, only their names were known, with no understanding of their powers.

A sharp glint flashed in Yang Xinxin's eyes, reminiscent of a high-speed processor rapidly dissecting all incoming data.

Suddenly, her brow furrowed, as if a crucial piece of information had surfaced.

She swiftly conjured a global map suspended in the air.

All eyes were immediately drawn to the projected image.

Zhang Yi approached and inquired, "What is it, Xinxin? Have you uncovered something significant?"

"Not precisely a monumental breakthrough," she replied.

Yang Xinxin pointed to the map, her finger settling on the location of the Snowy Plateau Region.

"We can now definitively state that external forces are absolutely implicated in the events unfolding within the Southwest Region."

"The great chieftain family of the West, Pagyi Gesang, might have sought your assistance, brother. It is entirely plausible that other factions have pursued a similar strategy."

"Considering geographical proximity, the nations within the Central Asian region emerge as the most probable suspects."

Her fair, delicate finger traced a path westward along the Great Snow Mountain range.

Traversing the world's most formidable and impassable peak, it continued its westward trajectory.

"Based on our current assessment, the Bharata Alliance, situated west of the Snowy Plateau Region, presents the most suspicious profile at this juncture."

Everyone's gaze shifted to the expansive world map, their attention focusing on the peninsular nation located west of the Huaxu Kingdom.

It was undeniable that Yang Xinxin's analysis was exceptionally sound, earning a chorus of nods from the assembled group.

The nation of Bharata, grappling with internal complexities following the Apocalypse, had consolidated into the vast Bharata Alliance.

This entire nation operated with religion as its central tenet, a focus that intensified post-Apocalypse.

In terms of national power, contemporary Bharata stood as one of the world's dominant forces.

In terms of sheer population, they had surpassed the Huaxu Kingdom decades prior, consistently holding the global apex.

Consequently, within the intelligence provided by Deng Shentong, the count of known Epsilon-level individuals alone had reached five!

Yang Xinxin continued her explanation to Zhang Yi. "Within the Snowy Plateau Region, conflicts between our forces and Bharata have been a constant. With the world in its current state of turmoil, it is highly conceivable that they have set their sights on the Snowy Plateau Region, aiming to exploit the situation."

Her expression grew grave. "Perhaps their ambitions extend beyond merely what lies hidden beneath the Great Snow Mountain."

Zhang Yi's pupils constricted sharply. His brow, sharp as a blade, immediately knitted together, and a palpable aura of killing intent surged from his eyes.

"Are you suggesting those degenerates intend to seize the Snowy Region?"

Yang Xinxin responded with composed certainty, "If the opportunity presents itself, I have no doubt they will seize it without hesitation."

Old You let out a furious snort, crossing his thick arms and declaring with vehemence:

"Those that smell of curry have never ceased their scheming. Should they truly harbor such ignoble intentions, I will not let them off lightly!"

Zhang Yi regained his composure, stating with a calm demeanor, "They lack the audacity for an open confrontation."

"Since we are present this time, it presents an excellent opportunity to test their true capabilities."

Whether the treasures hidden beneath the Great Snow Mountain ended up in the possession of the esoteric sect or Zhang Yi was a matter for their internal resolution.

However, the notion of outsiders casting covetous glances upon this region would certainly displease Zhang Yi immensely.

Yang Siya's brow furrowed with worry.

"But the current situation is exceedingly complicated. Regardless of the outcome, it proves that someone within the Snowy Plateau Region has been in league with foreign powers."

Zhang Yi responded coolly, "Then we shall eradicate them."

These pronouncements effectively sealed the death sentence for those implicated families.

Zhang Yi could comprehend their desperate need for survival, yet he would not extend his empathy to them.

One must invariably face the repercussions of their own choices.

Once this entire affair concludes, all those who aligned themselves with external forces will meet their demise.

Either they would perish by Zhang Yi's own hand, or Zhang Yi would alert the other major regions, mobilizing the combined might of the Six Major Regions to eliminate them.

On this particular matter, no objections were raised.

Subsequently, Yang Xinxin continued, "Very well, this constitutes but one critical facet of the issue. There remains another aspect I must bring to your attention."

She gestured towards the data presented by Deng Shentong.

"Concerning the six Epsilon-level individuals from Bharata, certain records detailing their abilities exist. This information was compiled by intelligence operatives gathering battlefield data on them."

Yang Xinxin directed her gaze towards Zhang Yi. "Brother, the superhuman clad in the golden combat suit, wielding the Golden Holy Sword as their armament, possesses an emission-type ability. This intelligence aligns perfectly with Bharata Alliance's designation of 【Garuda】."

Garuda, identified as one of the Eight Legions of Heavenly Gods.

The very concept of the Eight Legions drew its origins from Bharata's ancient indigenous religious sects.

Naturally, this was not indicative of Bharata's supreme deities.

For each of the Eight Legions was presided over by its own unique sovereign.

Those well-versed in Bharata's mythology would recognize Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu as the three primary deities they hold in reverence.

However, according to Yang Xinxin, Bharata functioned as a religious nation; their devotion to the Trimurti was deeply ingrained, precluding its use as a mere title.

Therefore, Garuda represented one of the preeminent powerhouses currently active within Bharata.
