Angels VS Angels, Li Kui Meets Li Gui
The grand ceremony was held at the Palace of Versailles in France.
Of course, it wasn't officially held to invite Li Hao to manifest his divine power.
The main purpose of this grand event is to celebrate the rebirth of the France after the disaster and to commemorate the France people who perished in Atlantis.
Initially, some members of Congress proposed holding a military parade during the grand ceremony, but given the military's poor performance during the invasion of Atlantis, the proposal was quickly rejected by the majority. It wasn't that they wanted to criticize the military; after all, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.
However, sometimes things are unreasonable, such as the Atlantis invasion. They can understand the military's difficulties, but that doesn't mean ordinary people, especially those who have suffered heavy losses due to the disaster, can understand.
Often, people only consider things from their own perspective; they only see how much they lose and how much they can gain. As for the problems and difficulties of others, they are not within their scope of consideration.
Therefore, Congress invited Li Hao to come in order to stabilize the current poor state of the country.
The event was attended by many people, including leaders from Western countries, cardinals from the Holy See, and prominent figures from around the world.
It can be said that this grand event brought together nearly half of the Western world's leaders and elites.
Time flies. First, the President expressed his condolences to the victims of the Atlantis disaster. Then, he looked to the future, expressing his expectations and confidence in the future of France, as well as addressing the many problems facing the France.
The president's speech lasted fifteen minutes.
The key issues are the post-disaster reconstruction work, which is of utmost concern to people; how to solve such problems in the future; what the military thinks of its incompetence and how the military will develop in the future; the relationship between France and the Western world, and other major issues of great concern to people.
Of course, besides these issues, there is one more thing that people are most concerned about.
Who saved the France? Who saved the Western world? Who defeated Atlantis?
After the president finished his speech, the numerous reporters below began to demonstrate their true technical skills.
A sexy blonde woman raised her hand and said, "Mr. President, I am a reporter from Time magazine. In your speech just now, you mentioned that you are very grateful to the Eastern sage who saved the France. How much do you know about this sage from the East?"
The president subtly curled his lip.
I wish I had known.
He smiled and said, "I'm very sorry to ask this question, but saints are noble and great beings, and it is not appropriate to discuss them without permission."
A short-haired Western man raised his hand and said, "Mr. President, I am a reporter from the London Daily. You mentioned that the Saint's consent is required to discuss this matter. Does this mean that the France will need to heed advice from the East in the future?"
The reporter emphasized the wording of the suggestion, the implication being self-evident.
Upon hearing this, everyone stared intently at the president.
The president was in a terrible mood, inwardly cursing the other party as a damned bastard, but at the same time, he smiled politely and elegantly, saying, "That's not true. State affairs and private matters are completely separate issues. The question just now involved the saint's private affairs, and it's very impolite to discuss others behind their backs."
"Mr. President, I am a reporter from the Berlin Daily. What are the considerations behind France's decision to invite a sage from the East to this grand event of the Western world? Do you think this sage from the East will interfere in France's internal affairs?"
The president's smile was somewhat stiff.
He realized that these damned Western Alliance harbored immense hostility towards the France choice. Ostensibly, they came to the event to repair relations with the France, but secretly they were all trying to probe the relationship between the France and the East, hoping to completely sever the East's reach to the West.
However, the more the Western Alliance acted this way, the more determined the president became to cooperate with the East.
There is never Eternal friendship between nations.
He had seen through it all. The Western world may seem powerful now, but it has no advantage whatsoever when facing a force like Atlantis. No, it has no ability to resist at all.
The president doesn't know how many forces similar to Atlantis are lurking in the shadows of the world, but he certainly knows a great deal.
The President smiled and said, "A saint is extraordinary and could easily destroy the entire Western world if needed. How could he possibly interfere in the internal affairs of France?"
The president deliberately emphasized his words in the Western world to warn these people not to cause trouble.
Sure enough, the atmosphere became somber after hearing the president's warning.
Afterwards, the group asked some trivial questions, quickly shifting the focus to the development of relations between the East and the West, and no longer inquired about Li Hao.
Meanwhile, while the president was dealing with reporters, leaders from other countries were also meeting in secret. Just as the president had guessed, their visit was not simply to congratulate the France, but more accurately, to investigate the sage from the East.
Li Hao's actions in the Atlantic Ocean truly frightened the Western Alliance countries.
They couldn't help but worry about what would become of the Western Alliance if the Eastern world deployed a powerful figure like Li Hao.
They never even considered fighting.
Since they couldn't even defeat Atlantis, how could they possibly provoke Li Hao easily defeated Atlantis?
Since they can't win, their options are very limited.
Many leaders from the Western Alliance gathered together, including the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom and the Prime Minister of Germany.
They were dressed in well-tailored suits, holding wine glasses, and all looked quite solemn.
"The attitude of the France is dangerous."
"Yes, this could very well be the beginning of an Eastern invasion of the West. But the enemy we are facing this time is far from the Eastern Empire; it is a far more mysterious and unfathomable entity."
"What news do you have about the sage of the East?"
"No, the East is extremely tight-lipped about this kind of information; it's impossible to find any information about them through normal channels."
"This is a troublesome matter. If we cannot withstand the sage from the East, we will have no leverage to negotiate with the East."
"Our nation alone certainly cannot resist. But if the East invades the West, it will bring not only political invasion, but also cultural and economic invasion. We are not the only ones who do not want to see Easterners successfully land in the West."
The crowd's expressions changed slightly, and they looked in the direction of the voice. It was the Italian Prime Minister who had spoken.
He wore a half-smile, unusually calm.
The people weren't stupid; upon seeing this, they all fell into deep thought.
This statement is full of profound meaning.
Someone tentatively asked, "Does the Premier mean that there are still people who don't want to see the East take over the Western world?"
"You are all important figures in the Western Alliance, so I will not hide anything. The Holy See is furious about the France choice, believing that they have abandoned God and are committing blasphemy against our pure faith."
Everyone looked stunned, and they immediately understood what the prime minister meant.
Clearly, the Holy See does not want to see the East take over the Western world, as this would severely impact the Holy See's faith.
They just don't understand where the Holy See gets its confidence from!
This is no longer the Middle Ages; the authority of the Holy See has long been stripped bare by science. Although the resurgence of spiritual energy has added a veil of mystery to the Holy See, what they are facing now is not merely a phantom, but a terrifying Eastern saint who can freeze the Atlantic Ocean with a flick of his wrist.
Has the Holy See gone mad? Daring to directly confront such an entity?
The Italian Prime Minister, well aware of the crowd's doubts, said with a half-smile, "Ordinary people won't do it, but what if they aren't ordinary people?"
No ordinary person!
Everyone's pupils contracted, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Could it be!
"Angels, the Holy See has received the support of Heaven, and two noble angels from Heaven have descended to Earth with the Lord's will."
Upon hearing this, everyone could no longer contain themselves.
Their expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at the Italian Prime Minister in disbelief.
Angel!
And there were two of them!
This!
"Incredible!" A leader from the Western world, his face flushed and trembling, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, exclaiming excitedly.
The others remained silent, but their expressions varied.
Some were delighted, some were lost in thought, and some were worried.
Meanwhile, outside the sky.
Li Hao outside Earth, overlooking the Western world.
His gaze pierced through layers of clouds and mist, revealing the various aspects of the Western world.
An angel?
Li Hao murmured something, his expression slightly strange.
What a coincidence!
Tsk tsk, but you only have two angels, and they're only at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, yet you think you can fight against my Angel Squad? You're too green.
"Sivir."
Li Hao murmured softly, and a beautiful girl in a silver-white battle dress with red trim appeared before him.
The girl's appearance resembled that of a mixed-race person; her skin was delicate and smooth, like white jade, and her long, reddish-brown hair cascaded down to her waist, glistening like a waterfall. She was tall and slender, especially her long, shapely legs, which were the most eye-catching feature.
She is the strongest six-winged angel in Li Hao's Angel Squad, only one step away from becoming an immortal.
Although leaving the Azure Great World slightly reduced her strength, she still possessed combat power comparable to an ordinary Dao Integration expert.
Sivir looked at Li Hao with fervor, then knelt on one knee and said, "My lord."
Li Hao nodded slightly and gave a few simple instructions.
Upon hearing this, Sivir resolutely replied, "Sivir understands, and will certainly not betray my lord's trust."
As Sivir spoke, she transformed into a beam of holy light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, shooting downwards like a meteor capable of destroying the world, heading towards the Palace of Versailles.
Li Hao's lips curled slightly.
The real show is just beginning.
Angels, ah, you're not the only ones with angels.
