Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 440: Chapter 299: 2nd Disintegration, Renewed Fierce Battle for the Spiritual Talisman (Part 1)

A single move from those beings hidden throughout history was enough to shake the world.

"One of the Starry Sky Country’s main fleets is nearby. They haven’t made a move?"

One of the leaders asked in a grave tone.

"They haven’t taken any action; they’re merely monitoring the situation. We suspect they aren’t confident they can eliminate those beings in a single strike. If those beings were to retaliate, the entire fleet could be annihilated."

"Those people are indeed beings of flesh and blood, but that’s precisely what makes them an even greater threat. Radar can’t detect them. They can run on water and swim at high speeds underwater for long periods. If they manage to infiltrate a naval vessel, it would be a one-sided slaughter."

"Furthermore, the power they’ve demonstrated requires us to reassess their true strength. For example..."

Zhao Ping spoke grimly as the slide on the screen changed. It now showed the colossal Eye of Omniscience, like a giant floating pyramid, appearing in the sky and overlooking the entire city.

"This is a Divine Power and a force that we have never before witnessed, nor can we comprehend it. Jun City dispatched three fighter jets, but as soon as they neared the phenomenon, all their systems failed, and they crashed. Our own people have verified that its sphere of influence seems to cover the entire city. If this were to rise above a fleet or a cluster of modern armaments... all of you can imagine the outcome."

Zhao Ping said quietly.

The room fell silent.

Modern warfare is built on information technology. If all electronic signals were to fail, even the most powerful weapons would become blind and deaf, and they would lose the very foundation of their military might.

"What about our people? Is there any news? I hear that the young Mr. Yi went to Jun City with our Donghua Martial Artists this time as well?"

One of the top three officials present spoke up.

"Yes, sir. However, we have yet to receive any definitive information."

Zhao Ping replied.

"Do you think our Martial Artists stand a chance against these people from the Hidden World?"

Another leader asked.

"I think..."

Zhao Ping opened his mouth, but he was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

In truth, the intelligence he’d received from Jun City had practically shattered his worldview. The abilities of those clandestine beings were as unfathomable as those of Deities.

To be honest, he didn’t hold out much hope for Yi Beidou and the others to defeat their opponents. His greatest wish was simply that they could guarantee their own safety and not perish completely. Otherwise, the situation would be far too dire.

He just couldn’t bring himself to say such a thing to the leaders present, as it would sound far too defeatist and demoralizing.

Seeing the look on Zhao Ping’s face, the leaders naturally surmised his thoughts, and a wave of discussion immediately swept through the room.

Just then, the embedded earpiece in Zhao Ping’s ear suddenly came to life. His expression immediately became a fascinating, ever-changing mask.

"Xiaozhao, is there a new development?"

one of the leaders inquired.

"Yes, everyone. I’ve just received an intelligence report from Jun City with the latest on the battle, as well as the final outcome of the first conflict there."

Zhao Ping took a deep breath, composing himself before he spoke. He did his best to keep his voice steady as he turned to face the large screen, where the new information had just appeared.

His mind was still reeling. The report he had just heard through his earpiece was still echoing in his head.

’The first battle... they suppressed all the clandestine factions...’

’They won?!’
