Lake Huron, with a total area of nearly 60,000 square kilometers, separates the United States and Canada. It is rich in minerals, has a thriving fishing industry, is an important industrial area for both countries, and is also a scenic tourist destination.

It's the peak season in the lake area, a time of vibrant life and lush colors. Seagulls soar, water transport is bustling, and tourists are endless. Large and small islands dot the vast lake, and the shoreline is dotted with ports, cities, logging camps, and tourist destinations. Visiting here is truly a delightful experience.

However, for those who work and live here, the scenery they see all the time is somewhat unremarkable. Lake Huron is beautiful, but it's the same year after year, and there are times when they get tired of it.

But today... the tranquil Lake Huron has suddenly been punctuated by an outrageous splash of color.

On the eastern shore of Lake Huron, in Bruno County Ontario Province Can*da, lies the world's largest nuclear power plant.

This 2,300-acre nuclear power plant employs more than 4,000 people and is the largest employer in Bruno County. It is built on the shore of the lake, and the workers here can take a walk in the cool breeze on Lake Huron and turn around to see the beautiful shimmering colors of the lake.

That being said, just as people who live in ocean-view rooms gradually become less interested in looking at the sea, people who work here eventually come to regard the scenery of Lake Huron as nothing special.

Even today.

"What is that?!"

In an office in the main building of the nuclear power plant, a white-collar worker holding a coffee stared in astonishment at the view of the lake outside the window, took two steps back, turned around and exclaimed, "It looks like it's glowing!"

The vehicles driving along the lakeside road stopped, and the drivers rolled down their windows in surprise. On the yachts speeding across the lake, several hooligans in Hawaiian shirts took off their sunglasses in astonishment, and someone next to them raised a pair of binoculars. In the office, the crowd approached in surprise, squinting and straining to see the ripples on the lake not far away.

"That's... a head?"

The majestic Titan head opened its eyes, crackling with lightning. Stirred by the array of thunderclouds, the sky darkened, and electric dragons roamed among the clouds. Terrifying bolts of lightning crashed onto the lake's surface, the intense flashes causing all onlookers to involuntarily close their eyes, one after another!

In the intervals between flashes of lightning, a ghastly white light illuminated the faces of the onlookers as they struggled to make out the figure bathed in thunder, their gazes gradually turning to horror.

As the lake surged and thunder roared, a terrifying giant stretched out its form, and this colossal creature, over thirty stories tall, floated above the lake's surface!

Like a god descended to earth.

Then the thunder dissipated, leaving only a raging storm in the sky and turbulent waves on the water.

It was as if the previous lightning and thunder were nothing but an illusion.

But it's not an illusion.

Because a god who controls storms floats above the lake.

It resembles the most perfect and majestic statue, its marble-like body brimming with deadly power and radiating supreme glory, with dazzling jewels gleaming on its chest, forehead, and limbs.

A golden holy ring, over fifty meters in diameter, floated behind it, its surface covered with intricate and mysterious patterns. Dozens of giant rocks floated around the Titan, gleaming with an eerie red light.

It suddenly let out a roar, as loud as thunder, and invisible ripples spread across the lake's surface, creating violent waves that surged outwards in all directions of Lake Huron!

The mortals who witnessed everything awoke as if from a dream.

Piercing screams echoed throughout the nuclear power plant. The yacht turned and sped away, but the clueless United States burst into exaggerated laughter, pulled out their phones, and started filming while shouting, "Ohhhhhhh! Bro! This is so cool! I'm going to take a picture and post it online..."

The Titan, suspended on the lake's surface, leaned forward and slowly glided across the water.

"Hey James! Stop running! That guy's not here to cause us trouble!" the United States filming shouted, turning around. "It's flying towards Can*da! Oh, I bet Trudeau for it!"

If the United States were simply enjoying the spectacle, then the workers at the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant, after a moment of stunned silence, realized that enormous trouble was brewing.

"It... it's coming this way!"

The screams grew louder as employees fled, the elevators packed with people, and more people ran desperately downstairs, the chaotic shouts mixed with cries of despair.

"I shouldn't have come here to work for the high salary!"

A white-collar worker in her thirties wailed, "It should have been shut down! Nobody likes nuclear power!"

The manager shouted as he ran downstairs, "I don't know! Boss! I don't know! I can only say you'd better buy the relevant insurance! Because this guy looks really angry... How the hell am I supposed to know what insurance covers this! No, no, no, meteorite insurance doesn't cover this! Of course I have to run! Am I supposed to stay and take a picture with him?! Is he here to inspect a nuclear power plant?!"

"Emergency shutdown! Emergency shutdown!" the operations manager practically roared. "Forget the procedures! Don't hesitate! If the worst-case scenario occurs, the entire Lake Huron will be affected! We're not Japan! Throw in all the speed brakes, and then we're out of here!"

Horns blared incessantly as employees drove out of the parking lot frantically. Many were calling their families or urging them to leave immediately; some were even reciting their last words.

The armed security guards couldn't bother maintaining order anymore.

They threw away their guns and began calling for vehicles to evacuate.

"Hey! You're security guards! Aren't you going to do something?"

"Screw you!"

The burly, bearded security guard, his eyes wide and menacing, shouted, "I'm paid sixty dollars an hour to drive away terrorists, marijuana-addicted sluts, illegal immigrants, drunkards, and extreme environmentalists on the beach! Not to fight those things!"

He jumped into the car, rolled down the window, and gave the manager the middle finger. "Tell your boss to go across the lake and find a homeless man to deal with that thing!"

Wow, the effect is outstanding.

Kang De looked at the chaotic scene inside the nuclear power plant and clicked his tongue twice. "I've heard that the recent prime ministers and governments of Canada have all been incompetent idiots, but I hope they'll wake up this time."

Horus said calmly, "They should know what's important... First, the nuclear power plant, and second..."

Iron Son said in a strange voice, "You and the Parrot have made the Titan so... cool."

The Titan Giant, a hidden weapon of the Council the final battle, was perhaps due to a broken connection or some other reason. After being tinkered with by the Parrot, it could be freely controlled by Kang De. Moreover, Malegith used the materials and technology of Yilan-Tai'er to modify this thing to be extremely extravagant.

The magical energy circuits, reinforced by Primal Gel and Paradox Element, the massive holy ring forged from Radiant Crystal, and the floating boulders of unknown significance controlled by Levitation Stone... it all looks incredibly cool.

And it has a strong sense of déjà vu.

Kang De chuckled, "The Parrot said it's going to teach that idiot Capcom a lesson... Looks like someone's going to get a call from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office."

Five minutes later, the Titan Giant landed on the eastern shore of Lake Huron.

A colossal, imposing figure, thirty stories high, stomped across the ground with a thunderous roar. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the people on the ground looked like ants. It was as if the giant body of a god was wandering the earth.

"Oh my god, he went towards the cooling tower! He looks like he's looking for something!"

Although the manager drove away, he remained nearby, his face pale, and cried out in despair, "We've already called the OPP! But can the police handle this? When will our troops arrive!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than lightning crashed down from the sky, and he saw the giant raise his enormous thunder hammer and slam it into the ground.

The earth shook violently.

"Do something! Make Trudeau! Whatever this thing wants to do, we can't let it have its way! This is the world's largest nuclear power plant!"

"... Next, it's just a matter of stalling for time."

Kang De maneuvered the Titan to level the ground. "Let's see the efficiency of capitalist countries."

Horus asked, "Why is it Can*da?"

"First of all, it's because he deserves a beating."

"..."

"Secondly, it's right next to the United States," Kang De sneered. "What's so special about Can*da? The point is they're fleecing the American Empire; they're just innocent bystanders."

Iron Son sighed, "That's quite pitiful... This nuclear power plant should be privately owned."

"Can*da is already an enemy country in my eyes, so there's not much to say," Kang De said calmly. "As for private companies... Huawei is also a private company. Mr. Ren was on the same flight to South America as his eldest daughter, but something came up and he was delayed... What if he hadn't been delayed?"

Titan's lightning struck again.

Washington, D. C., the White House.

A Chuan was once again invited into the military intelligence operations room.

"What is it now? I don't want to take any military action—I'm the president who hasn't started a single war during my term! I don't want to break that record! The pre-election campaign has already begun! I'm going to Sleepy Joe with an overwhelming victory!"

Ever since the Leviathan nuclear bomb incident, A Chuan has developed a psychological Shadow to the military intelligence room.

Leaders around the world knew that he had lost a thermonuclear warhead with a yield of ten million kilotons... If the sea monster incident hadn't been so shocking, it would have been heavily attacked by the Democratic Party if it had been revealed. Fortunately, the matter was kept secret, and of course, in internal meetings, it was treated as a funeral by A Chuan.

He claimed that it was his brilliant command and decisive decisions that repelled the terrifying deep-sea monster.

This proves that he was a more Lincoln-like president than Roosevelt.

"... Mr. President," the Defense Secretary said gravely, "We're in trouble again."

A Chuan glared and asked, "North Korea or Iran?"

"None of those."

The president exclaimed alertly, "That's Kang De, the China boy!"

"... No, not exactly."

A Chuan scoffed, "What kind of trouble is that?"

"Trouble is coming from the north... A gigantic humanoid object has been discovered on Lake Huron." The Secretary of Defense turned on the television, and a United States's shout came through, "Ohhhhh! Bro! This is so cool!"

In the scene, a 75-meter-tall giant floats on the lake surface, with a golden holy halo behind it. A giant rock floats behind it, and it summons thunder and vents its anger as it flies across the lake surface, which is covered in thick fog.

Its momentum is like a dragon, extremely terrifying.

"Monkey Reishit!"

A Chuan's messy blond hair trembled. "What the hell is this thing now?!"

"There's never been a similar record, but it looks somewhat like some kind of myth... Our people are searching Norse and Greek mythology." The Defense Minister clearly wasn't playing games, "But the point is he seemed hostile."

Not again?

The president jumped up, his eyes darting around, then suddenly declared decisively, "This must be Kang De's doing!"

The defense minister sighed. Lately, the president's use of "Kang De" had become almost as frequent as "China 'China": "It's better to have evidence for such accusations. I've told you many times, sir, Kang De is not someone we can convict and deal with arbitrarily."

"It must be him!" A Chuan waved his arms. "First that sea monster, and now this one! He even bullied poor Boris before! This must be Kang De's conspiracy! He wants to stop my re-election, so he keeps sending weird monsters to attack America! He wants me to mess things up and lose to Sleepy Joe! Damn it! This senile man is definitely in cahoots with China! I'm going to accuse him!"

"Ah... sir, to be precise, this giant isn't heading towards the Amerikkka," the Defense Secretary said. "He's heading towards the eastern shore of Lake Huron, towards Ontario Province."

A Chuan swung his arm fiercely. "Yeah! Well done, Titan!"

"But we cannot stand idly by," the Defense Secretary said. "The Prime Minister requests to speak with you and, citing the defense cooperation agreement, requests assistance from the North America Aerospace Defense Command Amerikkka. military."

"--I refuse!"

A Chuan shouted, "I'm not getting involved in this mess! And that damn Trudeau! Hypocrite! Two-faced! Miser! He won't give me any money! And he was laughing at me at the NATO summit! Tell him to raise his military spending to two percent before he comes begging me! And make sure he cancels all the tariffs he's imposed!"

"Sir, I'm afraid I have to advise you, we must help Can*da."

The Defense Minister took a deep breath and said solemnly, "After landing on the Lake Huron, this giant clearly entered the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant and carried out sabotage and bombardment. However, it was very purposeful; according to the plant's staff, the giant seems to want something from the plant."

A Chuan blinked. "Electricity? Electricity prices are quite cheap in Can*da."

"... Even worse, it could be nuclear fuel," the Defense Secretary said gravely. "If the nuclear power plant is damaged and causes a nuclear leak, the plant, located on the shore of Lake Huron. The Lake Huron contains important ports, industrial areas, and cities in both countries, and tens of millions of people depend on this lake for their drinking water. If a catastrophic leak occurs, then Chernobyl moment could be repeated in North America..."

A Chuan said nonchalantly, "Then let Can*da pay compensation later, and let the Amerikkka handle it."

"... It will be very troublesome to solve."

"Why is it so troublesome?" A Chuan exclaimed, wide-eyed. "The Soviet Union could solve this problem, so why can't we? They lied, concealed, delayed, and had a whole host of other problems, yet they managed to solve all of that..."

"--President, you can't rely on fake news and lies on Twitter to understand what happened in history! Trust the judgment of professionals! Once a leak occurs, even Amerikkka will find it difficult to resolve the issue quickly!" the Defense Secretary shouted. "With the election approaching, we must do something!"

A Chuan fell into deep thought.

--Fuck.

The defense minister is even considering resigning... What is this "son of the beach" still hesitating about?

"Wait a moment."

A Chuan held up a finger. "You just said, what did that giant want to get from the nuclear power plant?"

"Nuclear fuel, sir."

"What did that Leviathan steal from the Amerikkka before it disappeared?"

"Thermonuclear warhead, sir."

The two looked at each other, their expressions thoughtful.

After a moment, A Chuan declared decisively, "It must be Kang De!"

"Don't Kang De again!" The Defense Secretary was about to explode. "What does he need civilian-grade nuclear fuel for? He's already China project to build a nuclear power plant in Comora!"

A Chuan muttered to himself, "Isn't that even worse? This thing appeared out of thin air... If it's in cahoots with that sea monster, then who's stealing nuclear energy?"

The defense minister finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Yes, sir, we must find out the truth, but first we must resolve the nuclear crisis at Lake Huron, so..."

The president nodded and picked up the phone.

"Get me the Strategic Command, and bring me the Football— "

The defense minister's smile vanished instantly, and he stammered, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

A Chuan said nonchalantly, "Of course, it's another nuclear bomb."

The defense minister was stunned for a moment, then angrily exclaimed, "Why?! You've already lost one!"

So there's no need to worry about losing the second one, since nothing's happened anyway.

The president smiled wisely, "If this giant is in league with the sea monster, then when the nuclear bomb falls, it will disappear, and perhaps the giant will disappear on its own, thus resolving the nuclear leak crisis. If they are not in league, then the giant will be killed by the nuclear bomb, and the fuel inside the nuclear power plant will be consumed by the nuclear explosion, so there will be no problem. Isn't that a very reasonable plan?"

Yes, that makes perfect sense; I can't find a way to refute it.

--Bullshit!

"We cannot drop nuclear bombs on our allies!"

"Nonsense! I've seen the classified documents. The contingency plans we had for dealing with Soviet Union invasion of Europe..."

"Alright, Mr. President!"

After much effort, using elections and votes as bait, and threatening that "the Strategic Command will not approve your nuclear strike plan," they finally persuaded A Chuan to abandon his bad idea.

"Order the Air Force to formulate a precision strike plan and launch an air strike in conjunction with the Can*da Air Force. The strike must be precise and accurate; destroy this giant without damaging the reactor or causing a leak!"

A Chuan gave the order unhappily, then asked, "What if this giant has an energy shield like Leviathan?"

Couldn't you have said something nicer?

The defense minister coldly replied, "We are on land now, and brave Amerikkka soldiers will defeat any enemy."

A Chuan thought for a moment, then asked, "What if it has an ability even more terrifying than an energy shield?"

"..."

The defense minister simply refused to answer.

A Chuan turned back, looked at the screen, his eyes flickering.

He whispered, "I need to think of what to do..."

White Mist World.

Kang De looked at the Age of Gods Mechanism and asked, "Is it operational?"

"Of course..." the Parrot patted his shoulder, "Take this and use it to cheat on your homework, you naughty thing."
