Stripped of his phone and penniless by Evan, the foreign youth had embarked on a three-day journey from Lumina City to reach the Alerian embassy in Elysia, seeking assistance.While taking a drink of water, he caught a glimpse of the news and realized that over the past three days, Elysia and Aleria had begun a fierce confrontation!Hastily setting down his glass, he caused a commotion in the embassy, demanding to see the Secretary of State, claiming he had crucial information to share in person.The embassy's diplomatic staff, naturally cautious, were hesitant to make any hasty decisions.They placed a call to Jonathan, who, in a rare good mood, agreed to speak with the youth directly.The conversation left Jonathan breathless. The rumors from Nikrosia about a single youth bringing a nation to its knees were true, and this foreign youth had actually met him and could describe his appearance!Of course, the foreign youth withheld information about Evan's superpowers and their extraord
"This brilliant idea of yours!"Donald had summoned Louis to his office and was now berating him loudly. He had become like a mouse caught in a bellows, pressured from both sides!On one hand, his citizens completely disregarded his trade war against Elysia, jubilantly queuing outside supermarkets and stores to purchase Elysian goods.This was nothing short of a massive mockery, a colossal insult to him!On the other hand, the domestic entrepreneurs were on the brink of collapse, and not just them—their entire economic chain was teetering on the edge!With domestic products unsold and production halted, upstream raw material suppliers naturally had to cease operations. This, in turn, forced raw material producers and farmers to shut down as well!"Mr. President, please stay calm." Louis was drenched in cold sweat!He now realized the gravity of the crisis. He had believed that high tariffs would wear Elysia down, but instead of breaking Elysia, his own country was being led by the nos
With a snap of his fingers, the office door swung open of its own accord. The ice-encased foreign youth at Adam's feet levitated, drifting into the office and hovering beside the trio.As he came to a stop, still suspended in mid-air, the layers of ice encasing him refracted the light, casting a kaleidoscope of colors.Donald, Louis, and Jonathan's eyes bulged in disbelief.Never had they witnessed such an otherworldly phenomenon. How could a human levitate objects without external force? This was no mere magnetic levitation!Jonathan, in particular, stood frozen in shock. Wasn't this youth bouncing around outside the door just moments ago? How had he been transformed into a human icicle so swiftly? Such rapid freezing technology was unheard of, even on a global scale!A terrifying thought simultaneously seized the minds of all three: Was this masked Elysian youth human, demon, or perhaps... a god?"My, why so silent? Weren't you eagerly discussing my demise earlier? Here I am, right
Louis joined in, jabbing his finger at Jonathan's face, spittle flying as he berated him.Jonathan remained calm, waiting for their tirade to subside before responding with a slight smile. "Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, have you vented your frustrations? If so, perhaps you'll allow me to explain.""You'd better have a damn good explanation," Donald and Louis growled, still breathing heavily. "Otherwise, come tomorrow, you'll no longer be an Alerian citizen!""Gentlemen, in your heated state, you've overlooked a crucial point," Jonathan began, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "Tell me, do you truly believe anyone in this world can withstand modern weaponry?"Realization dawned on Donald and Louis like a thunderbolt.Indeed, no one on Earth could be truly bulletproof or invincible against firearms.Even with body armor, one couldn't hope to survive a Trident intercontinental ballistic missile – one of the world's five most powerful ICBMs, capable of obliterating a small to med
"Excellent! Excellent!" Donald exclaimed, thoroughly impressed by the impenetrable defense. The Elysian youth would have no escape, likely to be annihilated without a trace.Vice President Louis nodded in satisfaction. With such a comprehensive strategy, how could the Elysian youth possibly survive?The night passed uneventfully.Early the next morning, Evan rose, completed his ablutions, and knocked on Adam's door. "Adam, are you coming out?"A weak voice responded from within, "Mr. Smith, can I stay behind? I think I ate something bad last night. My stomach hurts."Evan shook his head. "Shall I break down the door and drag you out like yesterday?""No, no! Yesterday was embarrassing enough."Adam hastily opened the door, revealing himself clad in an immaculate suit."Are you going to a blind date or a battle?" Evan asked, bemused.Adam muttered, "I want to die with dignity.""..." Evan was speechless.They left the hotel and rented an off-road vehicle for Death Valley. Before enteri
Even Donald and the others, while silently praying to Jesus, exhaled in relief. Sixteen bullets fired from every possible angle, each more precise than the last. This time, there was no way the Elysian boy could escape. He might have blocked one, but could he truly fend off all sixteen?Impossible. It would be a miracle of the highest order.Yet, before they could fully release their breath, the next moment saw them all staring wide-eyed, shaking as if they had seen a ghost, eyes filled with sheer, unbridled terror.Just as the sixteen bullets neared Evan, a translucent mist, coiling like a dragon, surged up from the ground beneath his feet.The mist, emitting a faint roar, spiraled upward, encasing Evan completely.And as soon as the bullets touched this dragon-like mist, they froze in midair, suspended as if time itself had stopped."Sixteen sniper bullets... and you think that’s enough to kill me?" Evan chuckled derisively, flicking his fingers as though strumming the strings of a
The rockets, propelled toward him at blinding speed, were the first to meet the frost. The moment they touched the icy wave, they were sealed in a thick layer of ice, losing all momentum and plummeting uselessly to the ground.The helicopters, still a kilometer away, had no time to react before the frost crept up their rotors, freezing the entire aircraft solid. Inside, the members of SEAL Team Two were frozen in place, their expressions locked in wide-eyed shock, encased in the same thick ice.One by one, the helicopters fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with deafening explosions.*Kaboom!*The earth erupted in a series of fiery blasts, sending shockwaves of heat and brilliant flashes of light into the air. The elite sixteen members of SEAL Team Two were annihilated, just like their predecessors."Is this... is this a god?"Everyone was paralyzed, their faces frozen in disbelief. They trembled as if witnessing a myth come to life.Ten attack helicopters, eighty rockets—firepo
Donald, gripping his binoculars tightly, stared unblinkingly in Evan’s direction. He didn’t dare close his eyes, terrified that he might miss the moment of Evan’s death."With an attack of that magnitude, there’s no way the boy from Elysia could have survived." Louis wasn’t fully convinced—after all, Evan had already defied every expectation. But despite his uncertainty, he clung to the hope that this overwhelming barrage would leave Evan nothing but dust."Could he really be dead?" Jonathan’s internal gloom was beginning to lift. After enduring such a relentless assault, and with the attack now subsiding, Evan had yet to emerge from the smoke. Could it be that he had finally been killed?Surely he was dead. No one could survive an onslaught of such devastating firepower.Even the remaining SEALs began murmuring amongst themselves."Is he dead? That boy was beyond human, way too powerful. But I’m convinced he couldn’t have survived this." "I agree. No one could live through a barra
