Chapter 255: Chapter 254
Far away in the capital, inside the White House.
At this moment, the President was holding a meeting.
When the New York Police Department sent out a distress signal, the White House received the news, and a meeting was promptly convened.
In the vast conference room, the President, the Secretary of Defense, the CIA Director, and other key figures, along with members of Congress, were all present.
These bigwigs were watching a video.
It was footage transmitted from an Apache attack helicopter.
When they saw that the asian young man was impervious to blades and bullets, and even a Gatling gun was ineffective against him, everyone in the conference room visibly changed their expressions.
Such abilities had long surpassed the limits of human capability.
When they saw Chen Ye lift a car and use it to destroy a helicopter, the final explosion footage transmitted from the helicopter left everyone in the meeting silent.
After a long pause, the President slowly spoke: "Gentlemen, does anyone have any suggestions for me?"
The Secretary of Defense said, "Mr. President, such a monster is too terrifying. Keeping him alive is a very unstable factor. He should be killed, and his body handed over to the military for research."
The President, hearing this, asked, "This man is impervious to bullets and knives, practically an indestructible monster. How exactly do you propose we kill him?"
"We have nuclear weapons!" the Secretary of Defense suggested.
Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.
Immediately, a congressman loudly questioned, "Mr. Secretary, are you insane? Don't forget that there are still millions of citizens in New York City! Do you want to become a butcher responsible for the slaughter of millions?"
The Secretary of Defense regretted his words as soon as he said them and quickly added, "That was just a suggestion..."
"This suggestion is rejected," the President said calmly. "Think of another way!"
Launching a nuclear missile at New York City would have catastrophic consequences. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to bear such a responsibility.
Someone suggested, "We could deploy our most elite special forces and use powerful weapons to kill this monster!"
Everyone couldn't think of a better suggestion, so this proposal was officially approved.
...
As if understanding Chen Ye's provocative gesture, the previously clear sky suddenly turned stormy.
A mass of dark clouds.
Rapidly drifted in from afar.
"Rumble!"
Within a few breaths, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.
Chen Ye's expression slightly changed.
Could the Grim Reaper be planning to strike him with lightning?
Going all out, huh?
Although he had Thor's Hammer, which would make him immune to lightning as long as he held it, he couldn't use it now!
Chen Ye wasn't sure if his body could withstand a lightning strike.
Armament Haki mainly defends against physical attacks.
A lightning strike was beyond the range of physical attacks.
To be safe, Chen Ye ran into a nearby building.
"Buzz—"
Shortly after Chen Ye entered the building, the entire ground of New York City suddenly began to shake.
Then, buildings collapsed, and the ground trembled violently!
"An earthquake too? This is going too far!"
Chen Ye couldn't help but curse out loud.
However.
A mere earthquake didn't frighten Chen Ye.
With his Armament Haki activated, his body was like a chunk of iron. Even if a building collapsed on him, it wouldn't kill him.
"Crack!"
A large crack suddenly appeared in the load-bearing wall of the building due to the earthquake's shaking.
Then, the building began to tilt.
Countless people inside the building screamed and rushed outside.
But Chen Ye remained unmoved.
Compared to the lightning clouds outside, Chen Ye still felt more secure staying inside the building.
"Boom!"
The building completely collapsed.
Debris flew everywhere, and the main structure of the building crashed down, flattening a large part of the street.
Many areas suffered!
Amidst the rubble and ruins, Chen Ye lay there quietly.
A slab weighing at least several hundred pounds pressed down on him. A normal person would have been dead long ago under such circumstances.
However, Chen Ye, with his Armament Haki activated, was completely unharmed.
"This wave probably killed at least a few hundred people, right? The Grim Reaper is really pulling out all the stops to hunt me down, isn't he?"
Chen Ye muttered to himself.
He never expected the Grim Reaper could influence the weather and use natural forces against him.
Then, Chen Ye exerted force to push the slab aside, creating a small space where he could move around, and lay still.
"In this big of a space, the oxygen should last me about three hours. I'll wait three hours before going out."
After making this decision, the red color on the bar on his wrist began to fade slowly.
Unfortunately.
Chen Ye's plan fell through.
About two hours later, he felt the ground shake again.
But this time, it wasn't an earthquake—it was the sound of tanks rolling down the street.
Then, he was dug out by people.
The bar on his wrist turned red once again...
"Target located!"
"Confirming target status..."
"Target is not dead, seems to be unconscious."
Suddenly, Chen Ye, who was pretending to be unconscious, abruptly opened his eyes.
"Shit!"
A young man in a Delta Force uniform only had time to curse before Chen Ye used his telekinesis to snap his neck.
Then, Chen Ye crawled out of the rubble and sprinted toward a tank.
"Boom!"
A shell fired from the left hit Chen Ye directly.
The response speed of the Sam Empire's most elite special forces was indeed fast!
The massive impact from the missile explosion blew Chen Ye away.
When Chen Ye stood up again, unscathed, the special forces soldiers all had their mouths open wide, their faces filled with horror.
"Damn, is this guy Superman?" a soldier exclaimed.
The special forces commander gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he's God, we must destroy him! Open fire!"
Boom! Boom!
Another round of one-sided slaughter ensued.
The Supreme level Armament Haki was incredibly powerful, and even anti-tank missiles couldn't penetrate Chen Ye's defense.
As for the intense heat generated by the missile explosion, it only made Chen Ye feel a little warm…
If even anti-tank missiles couldn't do anything to Chen Ye, then the special forces soldiers were no different from ordinary people in front of him.
They were like children—each one knocked down with a single punch!
He didn't even need to use his fists.
His telekinesis could easily deal with these battle-hardened warriors.
...
The battle lasted for ten minutes, and a well-equipped, highly-trained special forces unit was utterly decimated, with only a few survivors managing to flee.
Then, Chen Ye successfully seized a tank and hid inside.
The bar on his wrist was still red.
He could see the thunderclouds rapidly approaching in the distance.
Tanks are designed with the possibility of lightning strikes in mind, so the cockpit is made with some insulating materials.
This meant that lightning couldn't penetrate the tank's interior.
...
Time passed slowly...
During this day.
Chen Ye endured a series of unimaginable disasters.
Earthquakes, lightning strikes, tornadoes… and even, toward the end, a meteorite fell from the sky!!
The Grim Reaper was hell-bent on killing Chen Ye, disregarding all rules and launching a full-scale assault!
If Chen Ye hadn't moved quickly and escaped in advance, being struck by the meteorite would have likely killed him.
Even the Armament Haki isn't completely invincible. No matter how strong the defense, there is a limit.
A meteorite strike, such a divine attack, had already exceeded the defensive capabilities of Armament Haki.
Even though Chen Ye wasn't hit directly, the shockwave from the meteorite's impact still caused him considerable concussive injuries...
The current time.
Was already 9:30 PM.
In about half an hour, Chen Ye would be able to earn his super rating and return.
New York had been left in ruins…
At least hundreds of thousands of people had died at the hands of the Grim Reaper.
Most of the remaining citizens had also evacuated the city.
Even Chen Ye was now covered in wounds, utterly exhausted.
The meteorite strike had indeed caused significant trouble for Chen Ye, but what truly hurt him was the tornado…
Still, he continued to persevere!!
He glanced at the bar on his wrist; the color was beginning to turn red again.
Chen Ye's brow furrowed immediately!
Just half an hour left…
...
The White House.
Inside the vast conference room, all of the Sam Empire's top brass had gathered.
"In the past ten hours, New York City has experienced earthquakes, heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning strikes, and other natural disasters. It is unbelievable that more disasters have occurred in the past ten hours than in the last ten years combined!!"
"Gentlemen, this is highly unusual!"
An elderly man in a lab coat spoke confidently, "This phenomenon cannot be explained scientifically. Some paranormal researchers believe that the man who is impervious to blades and bullets and extremely powerful might be a demon from Hell, and the unusual phenomena in New York are God's way of expelling this demon!!"
"I suggest we help God and expel the demon."
The President, hearing this, couldn't help but ask, "How do we expel the demon?"
"Launch a nuclear missile!" the old man said. "Only by killing the demon will the anomalies in New York disappear. Besides, most of New York City's citizens have already evacuated, so there shouldn't be many left. Even if we launch a nuclear missile, the damage would be manageable!"
The President fell silent upon hearing this.
Suddenly, a congressman spoke up, "I support the use of nuclear missile."
