"Indeed, it's very unfavorable. You may not be aware, but the Asia-Europe Alliance already possesses three S-Class Mages, and the rumored Snow Palace Sacred Land actually has one S-Class Mage as well."

The gray-haired old official paused, taking a deep breath, seemingly amazed by what he was about to say. He continued, "Although this mage claims neutrality, everyone knows that neutrality doesn't exist in this world. She naturally has a bias, and unsurprisingly, it's towards the Asia-Europe Alliance."

"After all, the Asia-Europe continent is this mage's homeland; she can't be without feelings. If a major war breaks out, this mage will inevitably assist the Asia-Europe Alliance in protecting its territory. This would undoubtedly free up the alliance's mages, making it no different from fighting alongside four S-Class Mages."

"Adding the newly emerged S-Class Mage, the Asia-Europe Alliance now has a total of five S-Class Mages! You must know that there are only ten S-Class Mages in the entire world, and the Asia-Europe Alliance already occupies half of them. We only have three!"

"That..." The female host's expression began to stiffen. She keenly sensed that the situation was very wrong. Was this something that could be said in an interview?

She couldn't help but want to interrupt, but as soon as she said a word, the chief director in her earpiece directly interrupted, "Let him continue. Don't stop him."

"A full half of the S-Class Mages. What does this represent?"

The female host followed suit.

She couldn't interfere with such important matters. She was just a salaried employee, enough to be a mascot.

"It's simple. It means they have a way to restrain our three S-Class Mages, and we can only passively take a beating, with no room to fight back."

"Once the Asia-Europe Alliance wants to launch a war, our situation will be very bleak. There may be a huge disadvantage, with countless casualties in a short period. This situation is too terrible. Our country must make arrangements in advance and increase vigilance!"

The gray-haired old official spoke seriously, but he himself couldn't bear to look straight at it.

If S-Class Mages could be converted one-to-one, that would be great, but the real situation is much bleaker than that, such as the Space King.

Once the war starts, who can restrain that Space King?

Moreover, such figures are completely above the state.

Some country-restricted mages were born during wartime, barely having a sense of national identity, but the new generation of S-Class Mages really don't care about the concept of a country. It's not that they don't care at all, but it's unnecessary.

They themselves will receive the highest level of treatment no matter where they are. No country makes a difference to them. As long as they maintain the current world order, they are naturally at the top.

In this case, working for a national concept, risking the destruction of the world, and disrupting the existing order?

Impossible. No country-restricted mage would agree. They are not stupid enough to dig their own graves. Maintaining the status quo is good for everyone.

(This draft really can't be read at all.)

The old official sighed, but he still had to read it and put on the appearance of an expert to convince most people.

Only in this way will those elites who know the inside story shut their mouths.

Starting from the official media, the wind changed.

The conflict between the East and West Alliances began to intensify, and most people were ignorant, not aware that a storm was coming.

After all, wars often occur in various places, and this change is not surprising, not like a big news event such as a nuclear bomb bombing God Capital.

But the elites who truly stand at the top of the world have noticed that something is wrong and are stepping up the expansion of shelters.

They have been preparing, striving to survive even if humanity perishes.

They are either top rich or in control of a lot of power, and they don't place their hopes on others at all.

This peaceful order seems to be able to continue, but what if?

S-Class Mages are not nuclear buttons; there are others who can restrain them, but they can start World War III at any time.

Once this "what if" scenario occurs, all their wealth and accumulation will be reduced to nothing. Anyway, with their net worth, keeping such a huge amount of wealth is meaningless, so it is better to spend it on various backup plans.

Even if a world war really breaks out, a shelter buried thousands of meters underground would be enough to support them until they die.

This is the choice of some people.

There are also some people who choose to intervene personally to prevent a world war from breaking out.

The elites of various countries have noticed the problem, and the rulers of various countries naturally cannot be unaware of it. After this change occurred, the high-level officials of the Asia-Europe Alliance began to frequently interact with the American allies, hoping to negotiate, understand what happened, and try to prevent a large-scale war from breaking out.

If it is confirmed that the other party is 100% going to war, obtaining intelligence can also allow them to strike first.

However, this change is too obvious, and most of the Asia-Europe Alliance high-level officials do not take it seriously.

If they really want to launch a war, taking direct action is the best choice. Various changes will only make people aware of their intentions, causing huge losses.

This escalation of conflict is likely due to some people wanting to profit from the war, so they leaked the news in advance, telling them not to make a fuss about nothing.

The two major camps are too large, and both sides are guessing each other's intentions. No one can come to a correct answer, but at least the middle and high-level officials on both sides believe that a large-scale war is unlikely to break out, and it is just another small conflict.

Except for the two national restriction-level mages of the allied countries who were controlled, and a large number of core high-level officials.

Let's not talk about the rulers for the time being.

Two of the three S-Class Mages living in the Americas have already been controlled. They are very clear that a world war is really about to break out.

Lin Kai of the Sun, he is called by this name because his magic can simulate nuclear fusion, and its power far exceeds that of a nuclear bomb.

He can easily destroy a city, and after using up his Law Power, he can even make a state disappear directly. This is a terrifying destructive power that no one can stop or restrict.

Soul Horn, Dan Ta Lin, this one is even more terrifying. He can emit a sound that causes the soul to deteriorate, ignoring all defenses. Piercing the eardrum is useless; it will directly cause the soul to deteriorate, and the body will irreversibly turn into a monster, causing countless destruction.

The interference range of this magic is normally only the size of a city, but the terrible thing about this magic is that it can be spread through things like the internet. The real interference range is all areas where the internet exists globally...

That is, the last Space King is elusive. Otherwise, if he were also controlled, the result would be even more terrifying. Destroying humanity at any time is not a joke.

And the alliance also has the same level of power. In comparison, Noah, who can restrain all attacks, actually has no destructive power. He can not only not devour Life forms, but also must determine that the substances and Energy he devours are threatening.

This is obviously not a power born to rule the world, but to restrain this world that may be destroyed at any time, giving the S-Class Mages the greatest deterrent, letting them understand that if they do not kill Noah, even if they destroy all of humanity, they will not be able to truly stand at the top.
