Chapter 573: Chapter 362: Walking on the Sea, Seeking the Truth on the Other Shore

Facing a being like that, anyone would despair.

"This target is uncontrollable. From what we can see, not even the opposition can control his actions. However, he shows a clear national bias and has demonstrated his alignment with the opposition’s broader strategic goals."

"You should all understand what this means. If we continue to do nothing but cower and avoid the issue, we will lose all our former glory. We will be toppled from the throne of the world!"

"Furthermore, an individual beyond any system of checks and balances will inevitably become a catastrophe for our entire system—a catastrophe for our species! He is an enemy to us all. Are you going to just stand by and watch this happen?!"

"Now is our best chance!"

Starry Sky Country’s Number One declared loudly, snapping the stunned audience out of their stupor.

"A being like a True God... how are we supposed to defeat him? What’s your plan, exactly? At this point, there’s no need to hide anything from us."

A Big-Bearded Slav on the screen spoke in a low voice over the remote connection.

"Yi Beidou may be powerful, like one of the Deities, but he still has a weakness!"

"He hasn’t fused with Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood. He still has a purely human body. And as long as he’s human, he has limits!"

"His terrifying regenerative and destructive powers both rely on his Physical Ability as a foundation, and human Physical Ability has a limit."

"If we carry out a saturation strike—360 degrees, three-dimensional, over a large enough area and for a long enough time—we can exhaust his Physical Ability. Once we’ve blown away the black flames he emits, we can simultaneously detonate multiple strategic weapons to cover all his escape routes. It’s possible we could severely injure or even kill him!"

"We’ve already sent the detailed operational plan to your terminals. If this were on land, the plan would be tantamount to self-destruction. But the target, clearly overconfident in his own power, has let his guard down. He’s crossing the ocean without concealing his movements. This is our last and best chance. We, the Starry Sky Country, are willing to shoulder this responsibility, but this isn’t just our fight. We need your help."

Starry Sky Country’s Number One stood up, planting his hands on the table. His gaze swept over the faces in the room and on the screens as he said, word by word, "Our resolve is firm. Even if it means vaporizing that entire stretch of ocean, we will destroy this greatest threat to humanity!"

"At the same time, this will be a demonstration to all those long-lived species hiding in the shadows. It will make them understand that we are still the masters of this planet’s surface. We have the power to destroy them—or at the very least, the power to take them down with us!"

After reviewing the operational plan on their terminals, the attendees fell silent.

"You’re all insane! The plan calls for over a thousand sub-strategic weapons alone, not to mention the use of full strategic weapons! Those are strategic, not tactical, weapons! This could trigger minor tsunamis on the surrounding continents and even affect the global climate in the short term!!"

The Big-Bearded Slav exclaimed in a low, harsh voice.

"Without this, how can we eliminate a God-like target? Without this, how can we reassert our dominance over the world? How can we intimidate those restless ancient beings and reclaim our position?"

"This is an age of madness. One man can make the entire world yield. Why can’t we be mad, too?"

"Therefore, we need your assistance—with funding, equipment, public opinion, everything."

Starry Sky Country’s Number One sat back down.

"What if we fail?"

someone asked.

"We will not fail! To be frank, it’s not just about the weapons. We’ve already made contact with some of those ancient beings. As long as we can severely wound that man, they will handle the rest."

"Right now, he is the enemy of the entire world!"

Starry Sky Country’s Number One said coolly.

"I’m saying, *what if*."

The person repeated, rapping his knuckles on the table for emphasis.

"Even if there is a ’what if,’ so what? It would only mean facing the worst-case scenario sooner rather than later. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you don’t have much time to consider this. That man hasn’t left us much time. You have one hour at most."

"You have to decide whether you’ll join forces with us to set off a grand fireworks display in the middle of the ocean."

Starry Sky Country’s Number One said calmly.

Secrets never stay secret for long, especially when all consenting parties are actively pushing the narrative. News about Yi Beidou swept the headlines of every major website.

...

In an instant, under a relentless propaganda blitz, Yi Beidou became a synonym for evil, a symbol of unchecked individual power and hegemony, and the public enemy of all humankind.

And although Donghua did its best to control the internet, news still began to spread.

"My god, what is going on? Can anyone who’s outside the country explain?"

"Okay, so I’m in the Starry Sky Country, just got off the plane. The entire country is under lockdown. Apparently, that Mr. Yi is crossing the ocean to come here without any warning."

"I’m in Beisha Country, same situation. The entire Chinese community I’m in has been put on lockdown."
