Chapter 597 597: All Beings Are as Ants, Only I Stand Above!
The grand hall of the Xia Dynasty at the Beijing Expo Center was enveloped in silence.
Except for Qin Heng, nearly everyone was immersed in an unparalleled shock and joy!
Their gazes towards Qin Heng were akin to mortals worshiping a god!
They were filled with indescribable adoration!
"Mr. Xuantian, you, you are our benefactor!" He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan said ecstatically.
It was as if brilliance overflowed from their eyes, their adoration for Qin Heng almost solidifying, ready to gush forth!
The surrounding staff and police officers, having witnessed everything that had just taken place, were nearly ready to kneel before Qin Heng!
After all, what had just occurred here was nothing less to them than an epic battle between gods and demons!
Indeed, whether it was Gao Wen's sky-high golden radiance or the subsequent remote dialogue with King Arthur, in the eyes of ordinary people, these were purely the powers of immortals!
And Qin Heng, who easily suppressed both forces, naturally became an immensely powerful god in their eyes!
Especially since this "god" even managed to have that imposing British deity agree to send over eight million cultural relics from the British Museum as compensation!
This was truly a world-shaking feat!!
"Qin Heng, to be honest, I'm a little worried," Xia Shuang suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of others as well.
"Do you think that King Arthur can really make England agree to your demands? If something goes wrong, you might be targeted by the entire nation of England."
This concern was not unfounded.
"That's right! The impact of this matter on England is truly profound, and it may indeed be very difficult!"
He Xiangu and Wang Lingguan also nodded in agreement, looking at Qin Heng with some worry; for even though King Arthur was strong, a Saint of England, this matter was far too significant.
"There's no need to worry." Qin Heng waved his hand dismissively and said in a calm tone, "Since King Arthur has already agreed, those over eight million artifacts are now my possessions.
No one on this Earth has ever taken away anything that belongs to Qin Xuantian, be it an individual, a nation, or even a civilization or the world itself."
Confidence! Unparalleled confidence!!
In Qin Heng's words, those around him felt his absolute confidence in his own strength!
Perhaps this was the mark of a true powerhouse.
"But, Mr. Xuantian, if the British Prime Minister or the Queen opposes, they might send people to strike at you."
He Xiangu pondered for a moment, still somewhat concerned. She said, "While you are mighty and fearless of such trickery, one eventually has to be wary of hidden threats..."
"It won't matter. Whoever comes will just be slapped to death," Qin Heng spoke indifferently, exuding an aura of supremacy, as if he were a Heavenly God controlling everything, utterly fearless of anything in the Mortal World.
The people around could not help but marvel!
No matter who comes! They would all be slapped to death!! Too powerful! What a great fortune for the country to have such a strong protector!!
"Mr. Xuantian, what if England keeps dragging their feet and reneges on the deal?" Wang Lingguan asked with a frown. "Perhaps this was just a stopgap measure on their part?"
"Half a year from now, if those over eight million artifacts are not before me, I will personally pay a visit to England," Qin Heng said calmly. "To collect what they owe me!"
What!? Personally go to England to collect a debt!?? An individual going to claim a debt from a country!? It was insane! This was truly madness!! Unheard of! Beyond imagination!!
"Qin Heng! Don't act rashly!!"
"Mr. Xuantian, please reconsider, reconsider! That's England, England!!!"
"England is one of the five most powerful countries in the world, Mr. Xuantian, please don't act impulsively!"
Xia Shuang, He Xiangu, and Wang Lingguan were all shocked by Qin Heng's words; they knew of his great strength and his unparalleled confidence!
But they had never imagined that he would entertain such an idea!
How could one person possibly compare to an entire nation? Especially a construct at the level of England! One of the world's five permanent members! The pinnacle, one of the five most powerful countries!!
In this era, the military might of the world's top-tier countries is too strong; so powerful that even the Saints standing at the peak of the Mortal World would have to retreat! In the understanding of ordinary people and powerful Martial Artists, the only entities that can truly contend with a nation are other countries of equivalent stature! The situation of one person overpowering a nation, in the present where modern technological weapons are incredibly advanced and conventional arms extremely formidable, no longer exists!
He actually wants to go to England alone to demand repayment for more than eight million cultural relics!? Could it be that he truly believes England, the once 'empire on which the sun never sets,' is made of clay, to be molded at will? That's a top-tier power with nuclear weapons! In the Mortal World, the strongest, most terrifying force is still held in the hands of nations! At least, no Saint has yet manifested power of an equivalent magnitude! Qin Xuantian, does he intend to go head-to-head with the top-tier, most terrifying technological force of the Mortal World? This is too crazy!!
Now, the hall fell into complete silence, everyone hushed.
After a long time, Wang Lingguan finally spoke, addressing Qin Heng, "Mr. Xuantian, if England defaults, we can testify internationally, and the Myth Organization will surely help!
Moreover, surveillance and audio recordings were made here; your entire conversation with King Arthur has been taped!
When the time comes, if we handle it properly and maintain control of international public opinion, England will have to consider the international impact, even if they truly want to default."
"No need," Qin Heng glanced at Wang Lingguan, then swept his gaze over He Xiangu, Xia Shuang, and the others, gently shook his head, and said,
"My power, you will not understand. On this Earth, there is no force that can stand against me.
All beings are like ants, I alone am above; what you see as insurmountable and invincible, to me, is nothing more than ants, easily crushed at will."
Having said this, he approached Xia Shuang, gently stroked her hair, and chuckled, "Let's go. It's time to head back, or the school dormitory door will be locked."
Then, he led away a stunned and somewhat confused Xia Shuang, walking toward the exit of the Beijing Expo Center.
He Xiangu, Wang Lingguan, and the others, however, stood frozen in place. Like statues or clay figures, they were rigid and unmoving, staring blankly at Qin Heng's retreating figure.
All beings are like ants, I alone am above!? He actually sees the world's top-tier nation, the holder of the most terrifying and strongest force in the Mortal World! As! Ants!???
「...」
In Tianhai, within a villa estate in the harbor city.
Under the night sky and in the moonlight, a girl with dazzling blond hair stood before a floor-to-ceiling window. She was wearing an exquisite blue gown and gazing at the moon beyond.
In her hands, she held a golden two-handed greatsword, its awe-inspiring might as if it had fused the power of the galaxy above!
This was Briton's legendary Excalibur, a treasure forged by the lake's sprite with the power of stars from beyond; a legendary weapon, a Great Saint's Treasure Weapon!!
But now!
The once indestructible Blade of Stars that could sever anything bore an almost imperceptible crack!
"KNOCK! KNOCK!"
Suddenly, the sound of knocking erupted...
