I Feel Reassured

"Gentlemen, our fighter squadron will depart from Walter-Smith Air Force Base, carrying AGM-158C miniature surveillance and attack cruise missiles to conduct precision strikes against 'Titan'."

The American Empire previously designated the sea monster as "Leviathan," so the codename for this colossus is naturally "Titan."

In the operations room, the Secretary of Defense pointed to a map of the area surrounding Lake Huron and explained the situation.

"Although the AGM-158C's range is sufficient for us to take down that behemoth across Lake Huron, in order to maintain the highest possible attack efficiency and accuracy, the formation was ordered to approach and launch. After all, the target area is a nuclear power plant, and we must proceed with caution."

He pulled up several blueprints and documents. "Can*da submitted the nuclear power plant design drawings to us. They built it very well. Our attack plan was extremely cautious. The containment design of the nuclear power plant already took defense into account. As long as the missile doesn't hit it directly, the possibility of leakage is zero. Moreover, the missile's warhead uses a high-explosive fragmentation fragment, so its armor-piercing effect is not high."

A Chuan sat in the main seat, with his henchmen either surrounding him or standing behind him, holding their breath and waiting.

After a moment's thought as the Defense Minister explained, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the President's eyes.

He said, "I don't understand."

Everyone remained expressionless.

A Chuan waved his hand and said, "To hell with all that damn military jargon and descriptions. I don't care how expensive your fighter jets are or how much money you spend on missiles. You just need to tell me, can this missile eliminate this giant as efficiently and quickly as it did that Iran?"

As he said this, A Chuan's tone became somewhat resentful.

If that giant were to suddenly unleash another energy shield, he'd be cursing!

The defense minister's eyes flickered; he had clearly recalled the recent sea monster incident, where a large army had been dispatched, all to no avail, and they had even lost a nuclear bomb, but at least the terrifying monster had disappeared.

And this time...

"If that's the case, Mr. President..." he said meaningfully, "It's actually a good thing."

A Chuan was taken aback, then glared at him angrily. "Good news?"

"Yes, sir, last time in the sea, no matter how that monster disappeared, we couldn't do anything about it, because the sea has never been human territory."

The defense minister's voice carried a hint of excitement. "But this is on land, the place that humanity conquered first."

He attached great importance to the energy shield technology displayed by the sea monster, and even considered letting it come ashore to create conditions for capturing it alive, even if it destroyed Los Angeles.

However, this plan was categorically rejected by A Chuan, who was worried that things would get out of control.

--It doesn't matter if California is destroyed, since no one will vote for him anyway. But if it causes political instability, domestic chaos, or even gives his political enemies an opportunity to attack him, that would be bad.

Now, another bizarre supernatural intrusion has occurred.

The Secretary of Defense looked at the map, where the icon representing the F-35 attack formation was approaching Lake Huron. He felt both regret and dissatisfaction; according to his original plan, now was not the time to deploy fighter jets.

At the very least, we should send a wave of ground troops from Can*da first to probe the enemy's strength and see if this giant possesses any extraordinary abilities before making any further plans.

--As allies, they have to play a role.

This is a very traditional act of Amerikkka, and generals over the past one or two hundred years would have applauded it.

But to everyone's surprise, the dog-faced leader overturned his plan again and again, ordering an immediate attack with the sole objective of completely destroying the giants. This infuriated the defense minister, who was now helpless.

The defense minister was unaware of Kang De's previous statements and the actions China.

Because the astute A Chuan didn't want the defense minister to know that it was his own instigation of Trudeau to seek help from Kang De that led to China's attempt to seize the opportunity to encroach on Amerikkka position...

If he were to speak out, the defense minister, whose loyalty was not absolute, would inevitably criticize him severely, something that A Chuan, with his strong sense of self-respect, would clearly not be able to accept.

So he just waved his arms, shouted, and emphasized.

"China! China! China! We can't let China find an opportunity!"

--Fuck you, China! How many times do I have to repeat myself before your delusions stop!?

However, the defense minister still could not disobey A Chuan's orders, especially after receiving the threat, "If you don't agree, I will tell Can*da that your delays led to the spread of the crisis, via Twitter."

He simply watched the images on the screen, watching the attack formation drop air-to-ground missiles at the target location. Some of the F-35 fighters continued to advance, their mission being to use GBU-39 small diameter bombs and cannon pods for close-range secondary attacks and finishing blows.

The changing light and shadow on the screen reflected in the Defense Minister's eyes.

Ideally, the giant would be mortally wounded by a ground-attack missile, then be rescued by an emergency-deployed Marine Corps unit crossing the lake... The transport planes are ready.

Just like in the movies, the U. S. military is keen on capturing strange creatures for research.

On the Lake Huron, the tranquil sky was filled with the roar of fighter jets.

Above the vast sky, tiny black dots pierced through the clouds.

Titan stands tall on the earth, the Arcane Dome Core, the central hub of Titan. Parrot floats in the air, her long emerald hair swaying gently. She closes her eyes, a soft halo illuminating her exquisite face. If she didn't speak, the previous Phoenix King would have been a beauty that could topple kingdoms, her grace unforgettable for an entire era.

As the missile hurtled down and accelerated towards its terminal phase, Titan raised his right hand.

An invisible Deceleration Field expands, rapidly absorbing kinetic energy.

The missile's speed dropped sharply. At the same time, the Levitation Stone scattered on the ground were agitated and suspended in the air, like dense rings of rocks in an asteroid belt, forming a reactive armor-like field.

Parrot are the life forms in the other world that understand Earth best. Although Kang De's knowledge is limited and the books and materials he brought from Earth are quite rudimentary, Malegith was, after all, a holy queen who once led an era... Some things are not difficult to understand by analogy or by drawing inferences from one instance to another.

While Malegith is indeed far from understanding the core mysteries and essential achievements of Earth's technology, she has an unparalleled understanding of the destructive principles and operational methods of Earth's weapons.

After all, they're a race that writes the principles of their most powerful weapons into children's textbooks...

A slight smile appeared on the Elf King's lips.

Moreover, she wasn't fighting empty-handed.

Griffin Williams could never have imagined that the Titan statue, which had been gathering dust in the hands of the Arcane Council for thousands of years, would actually unleash its full power in another world.

Amid a series of loud explosions and thick dust, the diving missiles crashed into the suspended stone rings and exploded one after another. Their powerful inertia was disrupted by the anti-gravity field between the Levitation Stone, affected by the Titan's powerful lightning elemental field, and had their kinetic energy absorbed by the Deceleration Field. They twisted and turned and were forced to explode.

Flames erupted, and chemical energy was released unrestrainedly.

A fierce wind swept through, as the shockwave tore and expanded.

However, the shrapnel struck weakly, the gravel gently scattered, the kinetic energy was rapidly absorbed, and the speed was reduced to harmless. The objects that collided everywhere hit the surface of the Titan without leaving any marks. This level of attack could not even activate the Paradox Element's defense check.

"Monkey Reishit!"

A large "Signal Loss" message appeared on the screen in the operations center, and a string of profanities erupted from the F-35 squadron's channel. "Did you guys see that? What the hell is going on?"

The pilots all wore specially customized helmets, which were so expensive that they were almost like something out of science fiction. All the important information about the fighter jet was projected onto the display panel of the helmet, and the pilots could even get a 360-degree holographic view through the external camera. They zoomed in on the image and were stunned to see the scene of the nuclear power plant below.

The captain reported, "Yes! Rocks! It must be rocks! Lots of rocks are floating up! Did you see the drone's reconnaissance footage? OK, we'll attempt an attack!"

Upon hearing the order, he opened the formation channel. "Alright ladies, latest order: close-range ground strike on the target is imminent. Listen up, you've all probably seen Transformers 2, but I'm different. I even acted in it myself! Michael Bay hired me to fly a plane!"

A whistle rang out on the channel.

"Every year I hear similar jokes and comments, saying that the United States in movies is full of idiots, that F-22 fighters have to engage in close-range dogfights with their cannons, and that they could have dropped missiles hundreds of kilometers away, but instead they just charged in and crashed into buildings, walls, mountains, and rocks..."

The pilots burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"So now it's our turn to be the idiots, but seriously, if anyone's stupid enough to run into those flying rocks, I'm not attending your funeral!"

"Alright, now begin assigning ground attack missions and batches. Heed my orders..."

The flock of eagles soaring in the sky scattered in all directions, and then began to swoop down.

Through the cockpit glass, the cabin was completely silent. The pilot held his breath, letting the lake and buildings below grow larger and larger. Through the panel of his flight helmet, he gradually saw his enemy clearly.

A gigantic giant with a radiant halo, surrounded by countless pebbles that swirl around him like stars.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck..."

The pilot muttered incantations to ease his tension and fear.

He joined the army thinking he would at most go overseas to fight some sheep-snuggling idiots and poorly armed bearded men, but who knew that after long patrol and training missions, he would be tasked with such an attack mission.

But...

"Bring it on."

He believed that the fighter jet he was piloting was the most efficient, rapid, and powerful killing weapon ever created by human technology. Priced at nearly one hundred million US dollars, it was the world's most expensive, precise, accurate, and destructive combat system. He, piloting the F-35, was a god who brought death.

"Ready to throw..."

Just then, he felt the plane suddenly jolt.

It felt as if we had entered some strange and unusual realm.

Inside the cockpit, a series of beeping noises filled the air. Warning indicators kept popping up on the helmet panel, and reports kept coming in through the communication channels. "Speed is decreasing! Speed is decreasing! Cause unknown. I tried increasing thrust, but it's completely useless! The speed is still decreasing! Still decreasing!"

The eagle, swift as lightning, flapped its wings frantically. The pilots screamed and desperately pulled on the engine, trying to control the aircraft, but the sudden stall and continuous loss of kinetic energy made this expensive flying weapon uncontrollable. The captain roared, "Abandon the attack! Escape as quickly as possible! Reorganize!"

But this was terrifying! The monstrous giant below was drawing ever closer, its eyes flashing with lightning and filled with horrifying fear. One of the pilots shouted, "No! Escape!"

He frantically activated the ejection seat.

"Don't get too close! We're too close!" the captain shouted. "It can fly! It can still fly!"

But suddenly, from the view on the panel, he saw the giant, tens of meters tall, clench its fist.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed across the sky, blurring the screen. He saw a god-like giant grasping a spear of thunder, just like Zeus in mythology, holding the power to judge mortals and punish evil.

Within the Arcane Dome Core, Malegith opened her Eye of the Phoenix, her spiritual power perfectly guiding the Titan, manipulating immense lightning power to lock onto the drenched chicken drifting in the air.

Within the Deceleration Field, Earth's most advanced weapons of war are restricted from their most prized speeds. Even though the restricted speed allows them to maintain flight, under the gaze of the Phoenix Eye, their forms are extremely easy to track, extremely easy to lock onto, and extremely easy to... shoot down.

A thunderous roar filled the air.

Amidst desperate screams, a massive electric creature was struck by lightning, disintegrating in mid-air and exploding into fragments.

Looking at the still-burning, charred fragments falling to the ground, Malegith's gaze was cold and unmoved.

Kang De sometimes struggled with the question of human life, but I don't.

Because I'm a bad woman.

The Titan roared fiercely, unleashing a barrage of thunderous arrows.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Frustrated shouts echoed not only through the air formations but also from the White House, the Five-Headed Building, and other locations. Inside the military operations room, there was a deathly silence, and the faces of the people were ashen.

A Chuan froze for a moment, then, before the defense minister could speak, suddenly jumped up and roared at him, "Look what you've done! You've messed things up again!"

--Is it my fault!?

The defense minister, filled with shock and anger, immediately realized that A Chuan was trying to shift the blame. He shouted, "If you insist on thinking this way, then I can resign immediately, and you can replace me with a defense minister who can solve this problem!"

Grass.

Normally, this nagging traitor would have been kicked out long ago! But now, A Chuan suddenly realized that the giant was more troublesome than he had imagined.

He vaguely saw Kang De and China behind him laughing coldly.

No, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!

The president took a deep breath and roared, "What do we do now?!"

--Don't be so self-righteous and angry when you need my help!

The defense minister was about to quit and teach this arrogant and self-willed idiot a lesson, but then a thought flashed through his mind and he suddenly remembered something, and his face darkened.

He looked at his secretary. "Did the Can*da side report that their fighter jets showed signs of sudden stalling, to the point that the entire formation ejected?"

The secretary replied, "Yes, at the time we thought that the fighter jets from Can*da were old and malfunctioning."

The defense minister's eyes flickered as he recalled the attack formation's final emergency report, as well as the abnormal phenomena and discoveries reported by the battlefield support department. After a long period of contemplation, he revealed an expression of disbelief.

"Damn..." he murmured, "No way..."

A Chuan asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

The defense minister immediately pulled out his phone. "Drones! Send a few drones over! Then tell the Can*da side that I need them to deploy ground troops immediately!"

He needs to conduct an experiment.

Sea monsters are known for their energy shields, so this giant's special skill is probably...

If his guess is true... that would be terrifying.

This means that the military foundation of the Amerikkka and even the entire planet has been drastically shaken.

"I need to go to the Five-Headed Building!"

He said this, but his contacts showed the number of his good friend from Raytheon Company.

Before being the United States Secretary of Defense, he was first and foremost...

A Chuan shouted from behind, "Wait! What did you say? Bullshit! Trudeau called me! How am I supposed to explain this embarrassing thing to him?! Fuck!"

China, the capital city.

Senior Colonel Tian relayed the message from Haili, his expression grave. "Reliable intelligence indicates that the American Empire launched an air attack... their flight formation suffered heavy losses."

Kang De was fully aware of this, but to express a sense of surprise like "Holy crap, this is true," he also had to mix it with a sense of calm and composure like "I'm the best in the world, so there's no need to panic," and even a hint of smug satisfaction like "The American Empire has embarrassed itself again, it's so gratifying."

If he didn't have the ability to accelerate time, it would be truly difficult for him to control his facial muscles to express such complex emotions in such a short time... Sigh, the country is really strict.

He glanced at the intelligence report and raised an eyebrow, "Combined with the loss of control of the Can*da aircraft fleet, the staff suspects it's a mysterious force capable of targeting flying objects..."

Senior Colonel Tian nodded solemnly.

Kang De glanced at him. "Should I go take a look?"

The soldier said solemnly, "Please!"

If we were to name the most crisis-aware country in the world, our nation would undoubtedly rank among the top three. Moreover, we are accustomed to learning from the American Empire, and now that the American Empire' most prized air power has been so badly damaged, our China must be greatly shocked, deeply concerned, and extremely frightened.

Kang De nodded and stood up. "I'll head over there first."

"If possible..." Senior Colonel Tian took a deep breath, "Could we completely destroy that giant in front of everyone, leaving no trace or remnant?"

Kang De paused for a moment, then realized, "You guys are quick-witted."

"China can't take on this, and doesn't want to," Senior Colonel Tian said blankly. "And we absolutely won't let the American Empire get their hands on it, not a good idea... so we have to destroy it completely."

The moment the news was received, the higher-ups realized the immense potential value of this object, and even considered asking Kang De to bring it back to China for research.

But this idea was quickly rejected.

Because this is enough to shake the military hegemony of the American Empire.

This thing is so deadly and terrifying that it will surely make the American Empire risk a complete break with the US, and even escalate into a full-scale war... But China already has Spiritual Runes and Kang De's help, so it only needs to proceed step by step and develop steadily. It is not worth taking such a risk.

After all, the American Empire, when pushed to its limits, is willing to go to war, even at the cost of the annihilation of its own unimportant people and cities, but China would find it difficult to make such a decision.

"I understand, that's amazing..."

Kang De nodded slightly. "I feel very reassured."
