Inside the RV, a private area reserved for the China military.
"That's roughly how it happened... to the Chief."
San Duo stood in front of the desk and told Zhao Yan and Shen Lian everything that had happened on the shore of the Prayer Deep Pool.
"Chief Jiang said the situation was urgent, so he had that guy surnamed Guo directly inform us."
Zhao Yan's expression was solemn.
"It seems that a truly terrifying monster indeed lurks beneath the ten-thousand-meter- Prayer Deep Pool."
"Last time in Soul Return Town, when Shadow and I were forced to follow the wedding procession to pick up the Heavenblade Dragon King..."
"We felt a gaze watching us from the deep sea."
"But I never expected that monster would be so powerful that even the Dragon God was so wary of it, and even gave the order to retreat."
Shen Lian's fingers flew across the keyboard, recording the intelligence into a top-secret file.
"Chief Zhao, this is perfectly normal. Don't mythologize anyone."
She calmly analyzed, "Although Mr. Dragon God is a legendary reincarnated deity, his physical body and cultivation level are clearly still in the recovery period."
"In this perilous Barbaric Realm, encountering a formidable enemy that he finds troublesome is perfectly normal."
"We can't put all the pressure on him alone."
Agreed.
Zhao Yan slammed his hand on the table. "What we need to do now is to use the full strength of the China military to help the Dragon God."
"Find a way to eliminate that monster in the sea! At all costs!"
"Chief Engineer Shen, how about... we just apply for the mushroom egg?"
"I've heard that a nuclear explosion in the deep sea is far more destructive than one on land!"
Shen Lian shook her head without hesitation.
"No."
She adjusted her glasses. "The power of a nuclear explosion at sea is mainly limited to the shock wave and water pressure tearing, making it suitable for striking surface fleet targets."
"That monster lurks in a trench tens of thousands of meters deep; the power of a nuclear explosion would be greatly reduced at that depth."
"The most fatal thing is that we have absolutely no idea whether monsters of that level have the means to absorb nuclear radiation energy."
"If it not only survives the explosion but also absorbs energy and undergoes a secondary mutation, we'll have made things worse."
"Nothing works, nothing works, what should I do?"
Zhao Yan rubbed his stubble in frustration.
Shen Lian closed her laptop. "I have reported the situation to the headquarters in Soul Return Town."
"Chief Wan Changzheng has sent the latest instructions: Du Linyuan and Zhang Lingqi of the Dragon Ascension Squad are leading 20,000 troops on their way."
"Once they arrive, we'll have more confidence."
She paused, her expression turning strange. "Besides that, headquarters also conveyed another special message."
"I don't know whether it's good or bad for a moment."
"What news?"
"See for yourself."
Shen Lian sighed and handed over the leader's tablet.
Zhao Yan took the tablet and quickly scanned it.
After watching it, his face turned bright red, and he slammed the tablet on the table.
"These shameless foreigners! Every time they see an opportunity in China, they run away faster than rabbits when it comes to snatching the meat!"
He stared at the brazen diplomatic pressure document on the screen.
Just a few hours ago, the Eagle Country military became furious upon learning that China had successfully established the Morning Star Base on the Weird Island.
They rallied several small nations, under the banner of "a grand human alliance to jointly combat the Desolate God Society and the crisis facing the gods."
They pressured the top brass of the China, demanding that China unconditionally open the newly opened sea route.
Allow their fleet to enter the Weird Island via the safe shipping lanes of China, and designate an area to establish a joint military base.
The most shameless thing is that they demanded it be free.
Not only did they refuse to pay the route toll, but they also turned around and questioned me in the documents.
"We're all allies against the gods, how can we possibly accept money from each other? This is utterly destroying human unity!"
They even demanded that China provide them with supplies and intelligence free of charge before their base was completed, and provide armed protection for their personnel.
"Shameless bastard!"
Zhao Yan's chest heaved violently, but what angered him most was the red approval at the very bottom of the document.
[The highest levels of the China have decided to agree in principle to the request from the Eagle Country to establish a presence there, and welcome the arrival of the allied forces.]
"They agreed?! They actually agreed to these conditions?!"
Zhao Yan, his eyes red, roared, "There's definitely a mole among the higher-ups! A traitor! I'm going back to kill them!"
Shen Lian quickly handed him a glass of ice water. "Chief Zhao, please calm down! Don't lose your temper and jump to conclusions."
"Think about it, when has our China leadership ever suffered such a loss in silence?"
"Based on my analysis, this is by no means a compromise, but more likely a scheme to use one enemy to devour another."
"The reason we made so many concessions, even at the cost of infamy, to bring in the Eagle Country."
"Our sole objective is to utilize their manpower to accelerate our journey to the Dragon Xia Imperial City."
"Because... our human time is truly running out."
Shen Lian's voice was filled with fear. "The First Seat [Void] has been gone for far too long."
"When she briefly appeared on the Canglan Continent ten years ago, she displayed strength sufficient to annihilate Demigod."
"Now, ten years later, her power has grown to such an extent that even the highest levels dare not estimate it."
"All five great nations of Blue Star are terrified of her return."
"Only by heading to the Dragon Xia Imperial City as soon as possible and finding the method to become a god can we truly have the confidence to fight against her."
She looked at Zhao Yan seriously. "We cannot place the fate of all mankind on Mr. Dragon God alone."
"While the Eagle Country may be shameless, their team of superhumans is an absolute sharp weapon."
Zhao Yan took a sip of ice water, forcing himself to calm down.
Faced with such a crisis of annihilation, strength lies in numbers.
The superhumans of the Eagle Country have always been arrogant and conceited, and they never listen to orders from their superiors.
Even if that blond-haired commander personally ordered them to stay put and not cause trouble, it would be of no use to those superhumans.
Once they set foot on the Weird Island, they'll absolutely plunder resources like mad dogs.
This is indeed a good knife for clearing paths and detecting mines.
"I see..."
Zhao Yan took a deep breath. "So, who are the people the Eagle Country sent to spearhead this time?"
Shen Lian smiled, "That's why I said I didn't dare to make a judgment so easily."
"The infamous Demon Dragon Squad Team from the Eagle Country didn't come; instead, two unexpected [guests] arrived."
She pulled up two photos that Zhao Yan was extremely familiar with.
Looking at the two figures in the photo, Zhao Yan's breath caught in his throat.
He had seen those two figures countless times during the [Destruction Five Days].
"It was actually the two of them who came in person?!"
Zhao Yan's eyes widened, "The only ultimate combat power comparable to our country's God of War..."
"Cyber Machine God Duo..."
"Machine God, Sullivan, and his granddaughter, Planet Destroyer Angel, Berris!"
