Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 430 The Power to Lead the Era, Safeguarding the Enduring Fate of the Nation
The United States, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Agent John Colson's expression was grave, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table. The report in his hand clearly displayed the information urgently compiled and assessed by the analysis department.

All of this is based on the latest "Standards for Classifying the Strength Levels of Superhumans and Holders of Heavenly Treasures (Revised Edition)" officially released by the Great Xia Dynasty, and Ye Xuan, who is the root cause of it.

His gaze was fixed on the very end of the report:
"Ye Xuan, normal strength assessment: eighth rank; with the help of various treasures, combat strength assessment: ninth rank."

"Ninth Rank. Star-Shaking."

Coulson repeated the word under his breath, a mixture of shock, helplessness, and deep regret churning in his eyes, finally settling into a long, heavy sigh.

why?
Why was such a god-like being born in Great Xia, and not in Lighthouse?
What would it be like if Ye Xuan were born in their country?

The glory of the lighthouse will shine brightest because of him alone, enough to illuminate the entire continent and even the whole world.

Everyone, whether mutated creatures or "dimensional beings," will dare not look directly at the western sky, and any threat of "dimensional descent" will tremble in fear under Ye Xuan's radiance.

That would be an unquestionable leadership position in the new era, the most powerful proof of God's favor upon the free world.

But reality is cold.

The silver-white giant stood tall in the east, and the brighter his light, the more it highlighted the gloom and powerlessness of other countries.

"We missed an entire era."

Coulson closed his eyes, his voice filled with an indescribable bitterness.

The British Empire, the Royal Court.

Queen Elizabeth did not sit on the throne, but stood quietly by the window, gazing at the plants and trees in the courtyard that had weathered the storms.

She held a similar briefing in her hand, her elegant yet aged face bearing a calm acceptance of history, and a hint of loneliness that was hard to completely conceal.

"Great Xia."

"No matter how times change, no matter what direction the world goes, that land always seems to give birth to a great force that leads the times and protects their national destiny."

"This was true in the past, and it is true now."

She spoke softly, her voice carrying the weight of years, then slowly turned around and gently placed the briefing on the table.

"Compared to the Great Xia, we are the sun that never sets."

She paused, then shook her head with a relieved expression, revealing a slightly reserved, bitter smile.

"Well, compared to most countries in the world, we are already lucky enough."

"At least, we still have our King of Knights."

That being said, deep within her eyes, wasn't there a similar longing to Coulson's?

How she wished that her country could also give birth to someone like Ye Xuan, a being who, with a human body, could rival gods, whose mere name could inspire countless people and stand at the pinnacle of the world.

That was a monarch's deepest hope for the fate of his nation, and a people's most instinctive yearning for a strong leader.

The inner city of the Bear Kingdom.

Viktor Kuznetsov sat silently behind his large desk, a nearly burnt-out cigar between his fingers, the gray smoke swirling around him, yet unable to erase the deep furrows between his brows.

After a long while, he sighed deeply and heavily. The sigh was filled with too many indescribable emotions: shock, helplessness, and envy, all of which eventually turned into a heavy, mixed feeling of regret.

The rise of the Great Xia Dynasty was something they had witnessed firsthand, bit by bit.

It wasn't slow, predictable growth, but an explosive leap forward that defied all common sense, overturned everything.

No one can say for sure exactly when that giant from the East quietly revived and left them behind.

Today, the wave of spiritual energy revival has completely reshaped the world's landscape, undeniably placing Great Xia on the throne of the "strongest nation."

The most powerful among them, even now, at the point when the strongest is only at the sixth rank and their power can only affect the continental module, possesses the power to destroy a planet the size of Jupiter.

Even that sixth-rank expert was a powerful figure from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Their Russian nation doesn't even have a sixth-tier cultivator; their strongest is only a fifth-tier cultivator.

Level five!

A single individual's combat power against a nation can easily destroy countless cities and threaten the survival of a country, making its deterrent force equivalent to that of a strategic weapon!
Before the spiritual energy revival, this would undoubtedly have been a force capable of doing whatever one wanted; even now, only a very few countries possess such powerful individuals.

However, before the power capable of destroying Jupiter, a fifth-tier warrior is as insignificant as a speck of snow on an icy plain. Ivan Reznov is an outstanding warrior and the pride of his country. He earned the recognition of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, through his own will, and his awakened lightning powers made him unstoppable in battle.

But Viktor knew better than anyone that Ivan Reznov was, after all, still human.

His power comes from the blessing of Mjolnir, but despite his talent, he is far from being comparable to the true owner of Mjolnir, the crown prince of Asgard, Thor.

If one day, the real Thor were to descend upon the real world, would the Mjolnir in Ivan's hands still obey his summons?
Will the hammer, imbued with the power of Thor, abandon its temporary master without hesitation and return to its true master?
At that time, will the strongest fighting force that the Russian bear relies on to maintain the situation vanish overnight?

No one knows the answer, but they must prepare for the worst.

Ye Xuan, Zhong Shanhai, Gu Che, Lin Ruoxi, Lu Jing.
Duan Muyan, Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, Esdeath.
Whether in terms of strength or quantity, whether it is local geniuses or "dimensional beings" who choose to descend, Great Xia has already far surpassed them, leaving them far behind.

When exactly did this gap begin to widen to such a desperate degree?

Was it Ye Xuan's sudden emergence during the first spiritual energy tide?
Is it the rise of those who possess the treasures of the heavens on the list of extraordinary individuals of the Great Xia Dynasty?

Or is it the ineffable cohesion and resilience inherent in this country that has transformed into tangible strength in the new era?

The land of the Russian bear is indeed vast, and the will of its people is indeed tenacious, but when will they be able to usher in their own explosive rise of geniuses, like that of the Great Xia?

When will we be able to possess a powerful being who is not bound by external things, who truly belongs to himself, and who is capable of ruling the world?
Viktor took a deep drag on his rough cigar, letting the thick, pungent smoke swirl in his lungs as if trying to suppress the heavy sense of urgency in his heart, before exhaling it heavily.

The swirling smoke temporarily blurred his resolute face.

"At least."

"So far, there is only one Great Xia that is so special and so extraordinary."

His deep voice carried an almost relieved calmness.

He was indeed very fortunate.

If it weren't just Great Xia, but also countries like the Lighthouse, the Sun Never Sets, and Gaul, like Great Xia, began to produce a large number of geniuses in an unnatural and explosive manner, or were noticed and joined by "dimensional beings" who descended into reality.

That was the situation that truly kept him up at night.

After all, several old "acquaintances" have become stronger, but he hasn't changed, or rather, his change in strength isn't significant enough, so what's the problem?

Although the Great Xia is now the only dominant power, it is still just one entity. Even though the situation has changed, he is not the only one who is nervous.

Gaul, inside an ancient castle.

Sesshomaru stood quietly on the terrace, the moonlight casting a cool glow on his long, silvery hair; in his hand he held a newly delivered briefing translated into Daxia language, his golden demonic eyes fixed on the words on it.

"Ninth Rank", "Tenth Rank", "Star-Shaking"
Having been in the real world for some time now, he, from the world of "Inuyasha," has been able to develop a basic understanding of this unfamiliar land.

He understood the power possessed by the "nations" of humanity in the real world, knew the location of the land beneath his feet called "Gaul" on the human map, and also gained a clearer understanding of the world's hierarchy of "power".

It was this understanding that led him into a long silence.

When he first arrived, humans assessed his strength as "between the third and fourth tiers"; but even if he surpassed his father, Toga, in the future of the original world, humans only assessed him as "barely touching the threshold of the fifth tier, and perhaps not even reaching it".

At first, he felt that the assessment carried an almost insulting contempt that instinctively displeased him.

But once he truly understood the definitions of these levels, what a "continent" was, and the destructive power wielded by "modern nations," his displeasure vanished, and he even felt that they might have overestimated him.

Even if he surpasses his father, Toga, awakens his own sword, and reaches the pinnacle of his world in the future, he still doesn't feel he has the ability to contend with the most powerful nations in the world.

Although it can have an impact on them, even pose a very serious threat, the likelihood of being killed is actually higher.

As for the sixth tier, that is an existence capable of easily destroying a country and affecting the entire continent; its power is far beyond what he previously understood as "powerful".

The seventh and eighth orders, and even the ninth order mentioned in the briefing that was capable of destroying stars, were as distant as concepts from another dimension.

"."

He closed his eyes slightly, and the image of the even more vast and powerful Great Xia region appeared in his mind.

That country is also recorded in his world.

It is said that the monsters who fled from that country all possess the strength of great demons.

In the real world, this country is also recognized as the strongest country.

Even someone as proud as him had to admit that, in that country, he was not only no match for those "dimensional beings" who, like him, originated from other worlds, but also for many local geniuses and strong individuals.
