Inside the white hall.

Akaru felt a slight chill run down his spine from his disciple Berudo's words.

Even in this consistently temperature-controlled environment, a chilling cold seemed to emanate from it, as if it were being watched by some monster from a distant land.

That was malice towards humanity, a mockery of their modern weapons.

He first stood up, wanting to immediately send a message to the distant army, but quickly stiffened and plopped back down in his seat.

Berudo glanced at his teacher and sighed.

"If things are really as we suspect, it's too late now..."

Akaru gave a bitter laugh, his voice hoarse.

"Yes, it's already too late..."

For V5's top management, the video content they've been broadcasting to the world is now sufficient.

As for what happens next.

No matter what unexpected events occur on the battlefield, broadcasting will cease.

Thus, the politicians have achieved their goals.

As for the truth, if the ending is positive, it will certainly be mentioned later; however, if the outcome they predicted occurs...

Therefore, the ending must have been covered up.

The nearly 5,000 soldiers deployed to the battlefield, from beginning to end, seemed to play the role of sacrificial pawns on this chessboard. Regardless of victory or defeat, they would not have much impact on the people behind the scenes.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just then...

A young man in uniform walked up to Akaru, clapped his hands slightly, and smiled gently.

"Director Akaru, the weapon developed under your leadership is truly remarkable. I must put in a good word for you with my father!"

The young people's exaggerated behavior did attract a lot of attention.

Naturally, people soon recognized his identity.

Bono Netani Minister Netani Netanyahu, is a beast in human skin.

If you know his story, you'll find that even the most vicious criminals seem like good people in his presence.

Among the many elites from various organizations present, those who knew the other's past unanimously revealed disdain at this moment, but due to the other's background, they dared not show this sarcasm too obviously.

Berudo pulled out another bag of snacks from somewhere, stuffing them into his mouth while calmly watching the other person's fake smile with dead fish eyes.

Akaru sighed, clearly having no interest in paying attention to the young man with the astonishing background before him.

"Forehead..."

Having rehearsed his smile many times and believing himself to be gentle, Bono was momentarily stunned and embarrassed when he was met with a cold response, before finally managing to smile.

"Director Akaru, you may not know this, but before this, I sent a special operations team that also attempted to wipe out this monster..."

He shook his head, as if feeling sorry for his men.

"Unfortunately, they failed. In some ways, I can say I have a deep-seated hatred for this monster."

"Gratitude you so much for developing these weapons. They avenged my men and allowed humanity to have the confidence to speak for ourselves in the face of these monsters."

Despite having a powerful father, Bono himself commanded a small armed force.

The Scythe of Judgment... is also an important component of his forces, enabling him to handle some tricky situations.

But... the other party has become unreachable!

After losing contact with the Scythe of Judgment, Bono tried many ways to find clues about their disappearance, but to no avail.

However, after witnessing the resurrected Ancient Corpse that he had once wanted to send the Scythe of Judgment to track down, which was the power that Sashado displayed on the screen.

Bono finally understood why the Scythe of Judgment had remained elusive.

How could such a terrifying monster possibly be something that humans could deal with!

He enjoys torturing women and revels in the pleasure of torture and killing.

However... this only applies to women who are weak and unable to put up a fight against him.

A guy like him wouldn't dare put himself in danger; he's just indulging his perverse desires.

After witnessing Sashado's horror, Bono was filled with a deep sense of lingering fear!

He even... realized that it was fortunate those idiots at the Scythe of Judgment died at the hands of the enemy; if they had actually brought that thing back to him, how could he possibly be alive?

That is precisely why.

After witnessing the latest batch of weapons unveiled by V5, Bono felt a growing desire to befriend the white-haired Director Akaru.

If his troops are the first to gain access to these weapons, his security capabilities will be significantly enhanced!

After that, no matter what bad things they do, at least with heavy security forces protecting them, they won't run into any troublesome enemies.

Yes...

Even a cowardly fool like him knows he's doing something evil, and what he fears most is being sought out for revenge. His greatest concern is his own life.

At this moment, he was standing next to Akaru.

Berudo seemed to see through the other man's true thoughts hidden beneath the feigned flattery, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly.

"What a pity, we may not have been able to eliminate that monster; he might just return with a vengeance..."

His calm tone brought Bono's fake smile to an abrupt halt.

"What... what did you say?"

He paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

Berudo calmly repeated the sentence.

"The other party is most likely not dead, so we couldn't help you. Although we don't know what happened between you and that monster, please be prepared for it to reappear..."

"You're kidding, right..." Bono panicked for a moment, then gave a stiff laugh.

He discovered that Berudo wasn't smiling, and the white-haired Akaru only sighed. His expression turned grim, and he stammered.

"How is that possible? That monster was clearly blasted to smithereens! We all saw it with our own eyes!"

"Berudo said calmly."

"That's what the data tells me. You don't have to believe it, but I'm just reminding you. Okay, Professor Akaru and I have some things to take care of, so we can't continue this conversation."

He then helped Akaru up and walked him to the side.

The people around him also heard his words, and they were all stunned and very surprised that he would say such a thing.

After all, they had all seen the scene of the monster dying.

Bono seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Fear seemed to begin to spread in his heart. The thought of that terrifying, intelligent monster made him tremble.

Right now, all he hopes is that the Scythe of Judgment will be instantly killed by that monster.

Ideally, no information about him should be revealed.

That's all he could hope for.

Berudo's final words, and Akaru's silence, left those seated in the hall with a question mark.

No one knows where things will ultimately lead...

Meanwhile...

In the remote Peji City, whose landscape has been transformed.

When Sashado was "destroyed," Aimina and Eluna, who were standing next to Ian, both raised their heads. The two sisters, one tall and one short, had complex expressions in their dark eyes.

Noticing their odd behavior, Ian, who had already given the Toy Soldiers the order to continue digging into the trapped people, glanced at them and asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing his words, Aimina composed herself and then calmly replied.

"Father's presence... has vanished..."

Ian was taken aback by this.

He didn't witness Sashado being destroyed by the "Seismic Mine Bomb," but instead curiously looked up into the distance, frowning as he spoke.

"It's a bit strange; the cannon fire that just started over there seems to have stopped."

"Could it be that Sashado has been eliminated?"

As he said this, Ian couldn't help but chuckle.

He thought of the power of his own Godly Might No. 1 and the Poor Man's Rose; neither of those could kill the opponent. If the V5 could really eliminate the opponent, he would really have to learn from it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the two sisters, Aimina and her sister, and said irritably.

"Isn't your goal also to destroy your father?"

"What a beautiful vision of 'filial piety and parental love'..."

"Now that this has actually happened, aren't you happy? But that guy's luck is probably tougher than you all thought..."

Aimina Eluna was somewhat puzzled by Ian's words.

Of course, it wasn't that they didn't want him to live; it was just that they had a complex and peculiar feeling towards this guy who was still their father in a way that was hard to say.

Ian shook his head.

"You're still judging each other with outdated perspectives. Don't forget, this man is no longer the King of Gondor once was..."

"Heaven knows how he managed to resurrect himself after four thousand years..."

"That thing... is now a true monster, no longer an ordinary living being..."

Ian sighed.

"You have absolutely no idea what it means to survive the bombing by my Godly Might No. 1..."
