Exploding God

Chapter 1195 Welcome Back, My King

"This world doesn't need myths... Damn it, I hate that."

"Half of Poinlay has been wiped off the face of the earth! This is the greatest insult to the beacon of humanity!"

"Useless trash, good-for-nothings! The defenses of our great nation have been torn apart like toilet paper!"

"While the [Modo] organization deserves to die, it has never so openly provoked our great alliance. This is something we could have resolved internally."

"Contact Congress, we want to increase military spending next year!"

……

US Alliance, Washington, D.C., in an underground base.

A middle-aged man with deep-set eyes and a hooked nose was roaring angrily, and the three gold stars on his shoulders made those around him bow their heads and endure his curses.

Perhaps a young brigadier general in the crowd lacked composure, or perhaps he had other ideas, but after enduring a five-minute barrage of spittle, he couldn't help but look up and respond:

"General Lake, I swear in my grandfather's name that this was done by the Xia people."

Lake suddenly stopped roaring and even looked calmly at the young brigadier general.

This abrupt change immediately gave the brigadier general great confidence; his voice rose and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Our calculations indicate that the attack was launched from orbital space! Only a handful of factions are capable of doing this."

"Those people at the lunar base and the Martian home never interact with Earth except for official meetings."

"Of the existing powers on Earth, only two remain! And our old neighbor, that polar bear, could completely wipe out Pointley, but it could never achieve surgical precision. So it must be the Xia people..."

Whoosh!

A cup of hot water was splashed directly in the brigadier general's face.

Lake crushed the glass into powder with a bang, grabbed the brigadier general by the collar and lifted him up, spitting directly into the general's face.

The army magistrate finally couldn't hold back any longer and used the most beautiful words of his life to describe the brigadier general.

"So you dug your grandfather's body out of the grave and exposed it to the sun, over and over again! Is that it?!"

"Do I need you to teach me such idiotic talk?"

"Do you think I didn't know it was the people of Xia who did it?"

"If it weren't for your grandfather's sake, I would have already slapped you across the face—"

"roll!"

Lake shoved the brigadier general away like a chicken, the latter looking ashamed and indignant, but ultimately dared not say anything more.

An eerie silence fell over the conference room in the underground base. The sand table images, constantly repeating on the three-dimensional light screen, were reflected on everyone's faces, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Lake loosened his collar, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The adjutants and officers around him immediately lowered their heads, appearing to be listening to a reprimand.

Lake glanced at everyone, and the nameless anger in his heart finally subsided somewhat. He tapped his fingers on the control panel.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Inform our allies to send a diplomatic note to Great Xia. The world needs an explanation."

The young brigadier general, who had just been reprimanded, moved his lips as if to ask again, "So what do we do?", but when he saw Lake's indifferent gaze, he quickly lowered his head.

"Meeting adjourned!"

Lake slammed his hand on the table and walked out without looking back.

The crowd behind him breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed in twos and threes.

This meeting, which should have been incredibly formal and serious, ended in such a hasty manner.

……

After a period of extreme calm comes a surge of waves.

As Lu Ze returned in a twin-rotor helicopter, the United States, France, Japan, and many other countries jointly issued a diplomatic note to Great Xia, demanding an explanation for the appearance of that Great Xia text.

Within just half an hour, with guidance from various parties, public opinion quickly became a hot topic around the world.

Then the US alliance, which prides itself on being a beacon of humanity, arrived late, broadcasting a message via television, and for the first time on the international stage, questioned Great Xia and demanded an explanation.

The article makes no mention of the reason, but it implies that the incident was officially orchestrated and was a serious and malicious violation of sovereignty, and that the US alliance will take all reasonable measures to protect its rights.

Everyone could hear the terrifying nature of the situation, and some small countries even began to tremble with fear.

But at this moment, the spokesperson for the Yanhuang Army finally appeared on camera, and the live broadcast signal was transmitted around the world via fiber optic cable.

"We are unaware of events outside our territory, deeply sympathize with the losses suffered by Pointley, commend the US Alliance for their swift rescue efforts, and highly approve of the annihilation of the Dark Organization..."

"At the same time, we call on all countries to join hands in dedicating themselves to world peace..."

"Finally, I want to say to everyone in this shared planetary destiny: our human mythology exists only within ourselves! Thank you!"

The official statement, distinctly characteristic of the Great Xia Dynasty, was broadcast live globally to every corner of the modern world. In particular, the last sentence, which resonated with many, garnered praise from numerous factions.

Of course, this does not include the underground base in Washington, D.C.

……

"Wang Defa!"

"A generous gift of crab!"

A loud thud echoed through the office.

The guards outside twitched, none of them daring to go in, for fear of angering the big boss who was in a fit of rage.

Other officials in Washington were equally angry, but they were also powerless to do anything about it.

There was simply no way to deal with it. The Pacific Fleet was severely weakened, and the appearance of planetary behemoths in multiple locations tied down a large amount of military force. As for the training of martial artists...

The US Alliance's large population and diverse ethnic composition have become disadvantages in martial arts training. In terms of the quantity and quality of construct pilots and high-level martial artists, it can no longer surpass that ancient country across the Pacific.

So, faced with such a humble yet assertive, even slightly sarcastic, reply...

They can't even do a public rebuttal; all they can do is launch a bigger media offensive.

That's it.

……

……

The bracelet vibrated slightly.

Lu Ze glanced down at it, his gaze strange, but then he smiled.

After typing a short message and sending it, he said to the pilot ahead, "Please change course to Shangnan City."

"Commander, aren't you going back to Shencheng Fortress to see General Yunlong...?" the pilot asked hesitantly. His orders were to send Commander Lu Ze back to Shencheng Fortress.

"I've already spoken to General Zang and General Yun; they have more important things to do."

"Yes, sir!" the pilot replied loudly, his heart filled with admiration.

Although his superiors did not give explicit instructions, he, as a dedicated support personnel, clearly observed the towering pillar of fire from high above.

After the Flame Pillar erupted, he received the mission to meet Lu Ze.

With just a simple association, one can link Lu Ze to the earth-shattering storm in Alaska.

Only someone like him could chat and laugh with true big shots like Zang Chuanping and Yun Zhenxiong.

The twin-rotor helicopter turned around and continued deeper into the airspace above the Yangtze River.

Two fighter jets quietly rose up to escort the Shanghai Fortress, which was not far away.

More than an hour later, the heavy twin-rotor aircraft appeared in the southeast of Shangnan City, with two escort fighter jets quietly returning behind it.

"Sir, we have arrived at our destination. There are thirty-four helipads in Shangnan City. Where would you like to be taken?"

"No need, thank you."

Lu Ze patted the pilot on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.

Ok?

The pilot had not yet experienced the White Emperor fighter jet breaking through the atmosphere, so he naturally did not know what Lu Ze meant... but he soon found out.

The side door opened, and a gust of wind rushed into the cabin.

Lu Ze quietly surveyed the urban buildings along the riverbank before leaping into the air.

"—Commander!"

The pilot instinctively cried out in surprise, only to see ripples spreading out from Lu Ze's feet.

The youngest colonel in the history of the Yanhuang Army left several afterimages in the air, directly creating a huge shockwave in mid-air, and then fell like a meteor to the edge of the city wall.

The pilot was captivated by the sight and gave a standard military salute in the direction where Lu Ze had disappeared.

"Salute to the commander! Number 1134, preparing to return!"

……

Tree-lined avenues along the Yangtze River.

A light red Continental GT was parked quietly by the roadside.

Lin Chujun raised her head slightly, her red lips slightly upturned, with a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.

She had dressed up carefully for a long time today; the form-fitting black dress accentuated her figure, and a pair of black stockings flowed around her legs like water.

The black stockings were almost transparent under the light, clinging tightly to her skin like a halo, outlining her legs as long and alluring.

Her unique charm is a blend of aloofness and allure.

And this astonishing allure is possessed by only one person in the world.

A fleeting shadow streaked across the sky, brushing against the grass, trees, and shrubs.

Lu Ze lightly touched the ground with both feet, creating a wave of air.

"Ah~"

With a soft cry, Lin Chujun pressed her legs together, reached out to hold down her billowing skirt, and let her naturally curly long hair fly back.

This frail appearance suddenly revealed an astonishing allure.

Lin Chujun's aloof expression melted away completely. She calmly smoothed her dress and then gently lowered her head.

"The King of Chu has been missing you dearly. Welcome back..."

"My King".
