Chapter 267: Chapter 266
In a large conference room.
The president of the Sam Empire and several members of Congress were watching a video.
The content of the video was footage of Shura's battle with Golden Saint King.
Seeing Shura collapse an office building with a single palm strike, followed by wielding lightning in combat, the president and the members of Congress were visibly shocked...
When the video ended, the expressions of these high-ranking officials became solemn.
"Shura has truly risen to power!"
The president sighed deeply and said slowly, "And he has done so in less than a month!!"
Hearing this, the other congressmen all had grim expressions.
They recalled that it had taken Adam over a year to rise from a newcomer to an A-level.
But this Shura had gone from a newcomer to being able to contend with a top 100 expert in just over half a month...
The difference in strength was clear.
"We can't allow him to continue growing!" an elderly congressman questioned, "Is there no way to eliminate him?"
"There's almost no way in the Reincarnation Space. Within his tier, there's no one who can match Shura… We can only consider taking action in the real world!"
"Have we not identified Shura's real-world identity yet?"
The Director of Intelligence spoke up: "We have made some progress. Shura was involved in the killing of a Blacklight virus carrier in AH City. Our analysts suspect that Shura might be from AH City."
The president replied, "We must find him as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, his strength will only increase!"
"I'm afraid that will be difficult!" The Director of Intelligence said, "China is covertly protecting Shura's identity. They have locked down all information on AH City's residents, making it very challenging to obtain any key data."
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked even more troubled.
Shura's rise had been too rapid; if given more time, even Adam might find it difficult to stop him.
Seeing no one speak, the Director of Intelligence suggested, "Our best hope now is to rely on Adam to pass the 33rd level of the Reincarnation Tower as soon as possible, gain more privileges, and then deal with Shura!"
At that moment.
The conference room door opened.
The president's aide walked in and whispered in his ear, "Sir, the president of South Korea just called, hoping you can represent the United States to pressure China into releasing Mr. Golden Saint King."
Hearing this news, the president rubbed his forehead in frustration.
China isn't a small country to be easily pressured, and relations between the two nations aren't very good. Even if he applied pressure, would China care?
After sharing this with everyone, they were all left speechless.
Then, a congressman suggested, "Mr. President, you could hold a press conference to condemn China's actions..."
A condemnation would essentially just be a gesture, a way to appease South Korea.
After thinking for a moment, the president felt this was a good suggestion and instructed his aide, "Notify the White House and contact the media; I want to hold a press conference."
"Yes, sir."
After the aide left, someone raised a new issue: "Mr. President, the Blacklight virus in our country is still not fully under control and has caused significant negative impact. Your public approval rating is now below 40%. Please take this seriously."
The president retorted helplessly, "Is it all bad news? Isn't there any good news to tell me?"
No one knew how to respond to that.
Because recently, it had all been bad news...
...
Similar meetings were being held worldwide.
Shura had truly caught the attention of the world's leaders.
Many heads of state were beginning to reconsider their relations with China because of Shura.
No one was foolish; they all understood that with Shura's performance in the Reincarnation Space, surpassing Adam was only a matter of time!
And this time might not be very long!
...
After watching for a while online, Chen Ye stopped following the discussions of netizens.
After all, it wasn't the first time he had been praised online; he was already numb to it.
He opened the Reincarnation Forum and found the strategy section, looking for officially published guides.
Quickly, Chen Ye found the guides.
There were two scenarios in the 11th level of the Reincarnation Tower: *Total Recall* and *Transformers*!!
*Total Recall*: Difficulty - Normal!
*Transformers*: Difficulty - Hard!
Seeing these two scenarios, Chen Ye's eyes lit up.
Both of these were sci-fi movies he had watched in his previous life, and he still remembered the plots.
Without much thought, Chen Ye quickly chose which scenario to tackle tonight:
...
*Transformers*!!
Not just because *Transformers* was more challenging and had higher rewards.
But also because the AllSpark in *Transformers* was quite powerful. Chen Ye wanted to see if it was a special item.
If it were a special item and he could bring it out, it would be a powerful weapon!
If any faction dared to provoke him in the future, he could build an army of mechanical lifeforms to attack them!
It would be useful not only in the scenario but also in the real world...
The United States had caused him quite a bit of trouble, and Chen Ye remembered every bit of it!
Afterward.
Chen Ye opened the scenario guide, skipped the *Total Recall* guide, and directly checked the *Transformers* guide.
"A hard-level scenario called *Transformers*. As the name suggests, in this scenario world, there are robots that can transform, supposedly from the planet Cybertron!"
"Our mission is to destroy these mechanical lifeforms!!"
"Strongly recommend: if your strength isn't high enough, do not attempt this scenario!"
"Because those robots are massive and have very advanced weaponry..."
