Footpan Chicken, five kilometers off the coast of Congsheng Base
The sea was calm.
Fang Tianyi stood on the water's surface, rising and falling gently with the waves.
Beneath his feet, the seawater was parted by a faint layer of chakra, as though he were standing on invisible glass.
He raised his head and looked toward the vaguely visible island in the distance.
Congsheng Base, Bald Eagle's military base.
Bald Eagle's most vital military hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Aegis System, Patriot Missiles, F-22 squadrons, a home port for nuclear submarines—all of it was concentrated on that island.
He needed to get inside and place a high-yield Peace Weapon.
But...
He lifted his head and looked higher.
Beyond the clouds was space.
Hundreds of satellites orbited in low Earth orbit.
There were Bald Eagle spy satellites, communications satellites, and navigation satellites.
And... the occasional asteroid drifting past.
An idea surfaced in his mind.
He picked up his communicator and switched to the encrypted channel.
"Command Center, this is Tianyi. Requesting a call."
Commander Tian's voice came through quickly.
"Received. Go ahead."
Tianyi considered his words before speaking slowly.
"I have an idea. I want to test a new technique."
"A new technique?"
"Yes," Tianyi said. "Using Magnet Release to capture low-orbit satellites or small meteorites, then guide them down to attack ground targets."
He paused.
"This method is more covert and won't require me to infiltrate.
And it is powerful enough. Just one small meteorite could destroy the entire base."
Silence reigned on the other end of the communicator for several seconds.
Then Commander Tian spoke, a trace of excitement in his voice.
"Are you confident?"
"It needs testing," Tianyi said. "But it is theoretically possible. My Magnet Release has already reached its peak, and I have enough chakra.
