Wait... Are You Really Doing This...

The thought that the video footage they filmed would be broadcast in countries all over the world is unsettling.

These war correspondents couldn't help but be excited!

This... without a doubt, is a strategic operation that will go down in history!

After receiving the signal indicating that video transmission has been activated.

An older, experienced photographer, with a steady hand, immediately turned the lens towards Sashado, who was surrounded by countless monsters!

However, they are separated by such a great distance.

Even with the most advanced equipment available, he still couldn't get a clear picture of the other person's face.

But that proud, kingly aura can still be seen in the picture.

The other party was wearing full-body armor.

Seated cross-legged atop the ferocious dragon head, which was almost the size of an airship, a pair of jet-black pupils, encased in armor, seemed to reflect a gleam of indifference as they surveyed everything below.

Even if the image is blurry!

But even just zooming in on this blurry shot reveals the terrifying aura of this "humanoid Magical Beast".

At the same time.

Another photographer captured images of human soldiers wearing half-body armor jumping off an airship.

His camera followed the rapidly falling soldiers, filming them one by one.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded just as they were about to reach a certain height.

Suddenly, flames erupted from the back of their half-body armor, generating a violent shockwave that instantly stabilized their falling bodies.

It simply stood there, suspended in mid-air.

This high-tech scene was something even war correspondents had never seen before. They stared wide-eyed as several camera angles quickly switched in, their faces filled with shock!

"This... this is absolutely amazing!"

"Is this the foundation of V5? They actually have such... individual combat equipment!"

"This is incredible! Humanity can finally gain the ability to soar through the skies on its own!"

Several war correspondents showed surprise on their faces.

The soldiers' confidence in this operation increased, and they quickly uploaded the footage they thought looked good back to the crew.

Because they were on Airship, there was no access to communication cables.

Therefore, the footage they filmed could not be broadcast live at this time. Instead, it had to be recorded and then edited and uploaded for television broadcast.

However, this also has an advantage: it prevents unexpected situations from occurring.

After all... this worldwide television broadcast was to fulfill V5's goal of showcasing the strength of its alliance of several countries to the world!

Especially... targeting the Kakin Empire, which has recently become unusually active and claims to be the Sixth Empire.

The more than 5,000 soldiers dispatched this time are equipped with more than just this standard individual armor; they also carry far more powerful weapons.

By revealing these things, we can deter the villains and, incidentally, give Lao Liu a warning, so that everyone doesn't think they can challenge V5's position.

At the same time.

Located in the Lusen, a V5 member state, in a large operations command center.

A group of elite soldiers, including Kannari Rin, were watching the video transmitted from the front lines. Kannari Rin, in particular, frowned when she saw the blurry image of Sashado, who was covered in armor.

The other person's appearance... has changed...

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Even she was surprised by the equipment used by the combat troops dispatched by V5, since she had never heard of such new weapons even with her level of authority. However, for some reason, she still had a vague sense of unease.

At this moment.

The Begerose United Nations, one of the V5 member states.

Netero, who was quite familiar with the senior officials here, was also in a large command center, watching videos transmitted from the front lines with an elderly man with white hair.

"Netero, do you think we have a chance against that monster with this equipment?" The old man's eyes were sharp as he glanced at the screen in front of him before earnestly asking Netero behind him.

Netero stared solemnly at the overwhelming number of Skeletal Winged Dragon on the screen.

After all...

He had fought Sashado, and he remembered that Sashado back then definitely didn't have such a large number of terrifying Pterosaurs monsters around him...

Moreover, the other party should have been detonated by the "Rose Bomb" that Ian left there!

Logically speaking, he should at least have some injuries on his body!

However, judging from the scene at this moment, the opponent was not only unharmed, but his monsters had actually increased in number...

With this in mind, Netero felt even more worried.

It's not that I think V5's weapons can't damage Sashado, but rather I'm worried about why he's become even stronger now.

Could it be that this person, like Ian, possesses the terrifying ability to rewind time?

After meeting Ian.

At this moment, Netero felt that, having lived to this age, he had gained a deeper understanding of Nen.

No matter how strong Sashado is, human weapons will only be more powerful, and there will always be a way to kill him!

However... if the opponent's ability is "immortality" or the ability to reverse some kind of "unfavorable state," then... even if V5 intervenes, it will probably be difficult to deal with the opponent.

Prior to this, Netero was more inclined to believe in the destructive power of human-made weapons!

It was because, in his youth, he witnessed the chaos of wars and the devastating blows that various weapons inflicted on other nations and people.

This is what made him deeply saddened by the malice of human nature.

But after the battle with Sashado and the use of the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid] provided by Ian, Netero became more inclined towards the unique aspects of Nen...

That is... a terrifying ability that can reverse another dimension of "weapon power and military strength"!

"If it were the old me, I might have acknowledged the military strength under V5's command. But now, I'm really not so confident that this force can defeat that monster..."

Netero didn't hide anything. He stroked his beard, stared at the image on the screen, and spoke slowly and seriously.

Upon hearing his words, the gray-haired leader did not refute them.

An experienced old man like him has long anticipated any outcome and will not simply believe that the result will point to a single, unique one.

Therefore...

Even if the combat troops sent by V5 were to be defeated, he could understand, and had even already made contingency plans.

However, he still valued Netero's opinion quite a bit, his eyes thoughtful, and he asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know what happened to make you change your mind, Netero?"

Hearing what the other person said.

Netero naturally pictured young Ian in his mind.

Thinking of the other person, Netero couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle hoarsely.

Who knows...

"Perhaps I encountered some interesting people and things..."

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed getting old. The world of Nen users in the future would inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes because of Ian's arrival.

But...

Just thinking about the other party's strength, and then thinking about the idea that inevitably arises in every Nen user after reaching a certain level of strength... the desire to explore the Dark Continent.

Netero couldn't help but feel a headache coming on!

What methods should we use to dissuade that kid Ian then...?

At the same time.

Although not specifically stated, today, a news report was broadcast simultaneously on a certain television channel worldwide.

[V5 dispatches a new joint force to wipe out a high-risk humanoid Magical Beast horde; new weapons and equipment revolutionize the battlefield]

The news headline seemed unremarkable, but it attracted some attention simply because of the words "V5" and "Magical Beast".

In this world.

Ordinary people are no strangers to Magical Beast, and some cities have even established protected bases to use rare Magical Beast as a tourist attraction.

Therefore.

Most people are used to seeing magical Magical Beasts with special abilities.

For example, deer with fire-breathing tails, giant bears that use some kind of freezing ability to catch fish—in short, these things add to people's curiosity and interest.

But...

Clearly, the anthropomorphic monster and countless Pterosaurs in the footage broadcast on television this time have attracted a lot of attention!

"Ring ring!"

Sharku Manor.

Ian's phone rang, and when he answered it, it was a call from Kazan, who was then serving as the Grand Leader.

"Oh? V5 requires worldwide television broadcasting. I understand. Just do it as usual. By the way, send me a copy of the video footage first..."

Upon receiving Kazan's call, Ian inexplicably felt that it might be related to Sashado.

Soon, the video was sent to the computer inside the manor.

Ian was slightly surprised when he opened it.

First of all, he didn't expect that Sashado, after being hit by Rose and a nuclear bomb, was actually still alive!

Secondly, he didn't expect that V5 actually planned to broadcast footage of the army's battle against Sashado...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for V5's unit.

If even Nuclear Weapons couldn't kill the enemy...

emmmm...

The nearly 5,000-strong force can only hope for the best...
