Chapter 746 - 719: Closed-Door Meeting
"I protest, you are imprisoning personal freedom."
In the hotel lobby, a foreign female journalist loudly protested against the soldiers blocking the entrance, with quite a few journalists looking indignant behind her.
"I’m sorry, I believe you have already received orders from your superiors, the interview process has been canceled." A colonel stated coldly, "During the multinational conference, please stay in the hotel honestly, strictly forbidden to go out."
"No, you can’t do this, we have the freedom to interview, and the people have the right to know the truth."
"No, believe me, you don’t." The colonel finished speaking, then looked at the soldiers and ordered, "If anyone tries to go out, warning the first time, shooting the second."
"Yes, Chief."
Dozens of heavily armed soldiers shouted one after another, looking murderous.
"You group of fas*ists..." The female journalist tried to shout but was quickly covered her mouth by her companions and dragged to the back.
"Louise, it’s useless, something definitely explosive is happening this time."
...
The second day.
The atmosphere in the Capital City became somewhat unusual.
Roads near the People’s Great Hall were already blocked, filled with soldiers standing vigilant.
As the conference time drew nearer, the mood of the various national leaders participating grew increasingly anxious.
In the cigar room next to the conference room.
Smoky inside.
European Union Prime Minister Joseph holding a cigar between his fingers, with two dark circles that couldn’t be concealed even with makeup on his face, hoarsely asked the Lucy Country President Proff beside him, "Do you think the intelligence from Great Xia Country is credible?"
He had a restless night.
The intelligence is really horrifying.
If true, it means the Earth will eventually be destroyed, then what is the meaning of all these years of war?
Proff leaned on the leather sofa, his expression unchanged, exhaled a puff of smoke:
"A physicist in my entourage told me that, according to the current observational data, it’s likely to happen, but it won’t occur quickly; optimistically speaking, it would take at least several decades to have a disastrous impact on Earth."
"This aligns with our judgment, right now the most dangerous is that ’Ancestor God,’ but this can’t be verified." Joseph nodded, somewhat exhausted.
The God is truly not benevolent to mankind.
...
Atop a skyscraper in Capital City.
Beside was a helicopter, several waiting staff stretched their necks, gazing skywards, full of anticipation.
"Why isn’t he here yet." A middle-aged man anxiously paced back and forth.
"He won’t forget the time, right?" A staff member murmured.
"Shut up, how could General Manager Chen forget the time, even if he hasn’t come... there must be important matters to handle."
Just then, someone excitedly said.
"Quick look, he’s coming!"
Everyone looked up.
Only to see a black dot in the sky burst through the clouds, from small to large, swiftly descending.
Everyone watched, their eyelids twitching.
After a few seconds.
"Boom!" With a loud sound.
Gale swept over.
The next moment, there was already one more person on the rooftop.
People felt their hair being blown wildly by the strong wind, involuntarily swallowing hard:
"General Manager Chen, you’ve... you’ve come over."
Facing the man who killed the Lord of Lightning, all could feel the overwhelming pressure and the unmanageable anxiety of life and death.
"Sorry, have you been waiting long?" Chen Shouyi said with a smile.
"No, no."
"We haven’t waited long either."
Chen Shouyi glanced at the time and discovered indeed, they hadn’t waited long.
It’s only eight o’clock, still more than an hour before the meeting.
Originally, there was a plan for a special plane to pick him up, but he couldn’t stand the sluggish speed, thus rejecting decisively.
Flying in a plane is not faster than flying on his own.
This time, from Zhonghai to Capital City, it only took a few minutes.
"General... General Manager Chen, should we go to the People’s Great Hall now?" A female staff member asked cautiously.
"Alright!" Chen Shouyi agreed readily.
The helicopter was large, inside looked like a suite.
"Do you need makeup and a change of clothes?"
Chen Shouyi looked at the clothes on him, felt it was decent, and said, "No need."
Then, the atmosphere began to be silent.
Chen Shouyi was happy without the need for hypocritical pleasantries.
He closed his eyes and rested.
Strength: 26.0
Agility: 26.0
Physique: 26.0
Intelligence: 26.0
Perception: 24.6
Will: 24.6
Energy Accumulation: 59.35
Faith Value: 36500.2
Gifted Abilities: Self-Healing (Super): 35.01%; Giant Battle Body (Super): 99.99%; Atmosphere Control: 55.01%.
Recently, his progress speed has begun to rapidly slow down.
An entire month, the main attributes of strength, physique, agility, intelligence only increased by 0.3 points.
This made Chen Shouyi a bit anxious; he vaguely sensed the limit of his power was approaching.
The level of Powerful Divine Power, except for the possibly existing Ancestor God and Tamu, has been the most formidable combat power in the other world for millions of years, always like this, none has exceeded it, and his limit is probably just so.
Chen Shouyi had a premonition, his overall attribute limit would be around 27 points.
Although these attributes are still vastly different from the Powerful Divine Power, like each attribute of the God of Lightning, the lowest is over 30 points, while strength is over 35 points, but this is only in a self "sealed state."
Once unsealed (Giant Transformation + Supernatural state)
His strength would comprehensively reach the level of Powerful Divine Power, even surpassing it.
"But obviously, it’s still not enough!" He furrowed his eyebrows tightly.
...
Over a dozen minutes later, the helicopter slowly descended at the entrance of the Great Hall, with soldiers around, Chen Shouyi took a deep breath and under the staff guidance, walked towards the entrance.
...
People’s Great Hall.
Inside the round table conference room, it was chaotic.
Those present whispered to each other, quietly speaking, the room was noisy.
Everyone wore expressions of suspicion, unease mixed with despair and helplessness.
"Thank you all for coming." The President of Great Xia Country made a solemn speech.
"I believe you have already received the relevant intelligence.
Twenty years ago, Tamu fused with Earth, thick clouds have always hung over humanity’s heart.
Especially in the past five years, humanity has faced numerous crises, Great Xia Country narrowly avoided collapse several times, but we used artillery, nuclear bombs, with countless sacrifices, we triumphed.
Although there are still many occupied areas, we can proudly declare humans are still Earth’s masters.
However, the fundamental crisis of humanity has not been solved at all.
We have encountered the most severe challenge ever.
I don’t wish to be pessimistic, but I must say humanity doesn’t have much time left."
After speaking, he glanced at a staff member, who said, "Now, please let the security consultant Chen Shouyi of Great Xia Country come in."
As soon as the words fell, the originally noisy conference room instantly quieted down, becoming soundless enough to hear a pin drop.
