Can we hold a meeting with the Death Gods? No, then let's just go and get them!
Dead silence.
It was still that suffocating, dead silence.
On the central flight deck of Shield Island, even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.
Thousands of gazes converged on the young man who was leisurely sipping a cola.
An invisible vacuum zone had formed around him.
Whether it was the unruly giant from North Bear Country, the elegant and noble Saintess of the Oulu Alliance, or the top powerhouses from other nations, they all subconsciously maintained an absolutely safe distance from him at this moment.
They didn't dare to get close.
In fact, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they would make some 'noise' and disturb this lord's mood.
And then, they would follow in the footsteps of that pile of mush a hundred meters away.
The White Eagle Country's team had completely descended into chaos.
Several medics were scrambling to lift the unconscious Barton onto a stretcher, the lights of various emergency medical devices flashing incessantly.
The adjutant looked at Barton's bloody face, which was now completely unrecognizable as human, and that mechanical arm that was totally scrapped and still sparking with electricity; he felt his head spin and his limbs go cold.
It's over!
Everything is completely ruined now!
'Falcon' Barton was not only the Deputy Director of the 'Shield of the Empire', but also the prize pupil of a certain titan in the White Eagle Country's military!
Now, in front of the world's powerhouses, he had been flicked into a state of severe disability by a single finger... This wasn't just Barton's personal disgrace; it was the face of the entire White Eagle Country being stepped on and ground into the dirt!
But he didn't even dare to say a single harsh word.
He didn't even dare to show a hint of resentment.
Because the man who caused all this had just glanced at them.
Just that light, casual glance.
The adjutant felt as if he were being stared down by a terrifying Vicious Beast from the primordial era; his blood froze in an instant!
He had no doubt that if he dared to say one more word, he would be joining the man lying there in the next second... *Gulp.*
Lin Yuan took another big gulp of cola and squinted his eyes comfortably.
He looked around at the 'global elites' who were as quiet as cicadas in winter, standing there like wooden posts, and his brow furrowed again with impatience.
"So, are we just going to stand here?"
"Not planning to get to work?"
His voice wasn't loud, yet it boomed like thunder in everyone's ears.
The Commander-in-Chief of Shield Island, General Adams, shuddered and hurriedly trotted forward, his old face covered in a smile so humble it was almost fawning.
"Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency! You are right! You are absolutely right!"
His form of address for Lin Yuan had already upgraded directly from 'Consultant' to 'Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency'.
"The war room is ready! We have compiled all the intelligence on the Divine Court from around the world, along with over a dozen operational plans jointly developed by the top strategic analysts from various nations, just waiting for your review!"
As General Adams spoke, he made a 'please' gesture, keeping his posture extremely low, looking very much like a eunuch preparing to lead the way for an emperor.
A meeting?
Reviewing plans?
Hearing these words, Lin Yuan's face instantly darkened.
"Too much trouble."
He waved his hand unceremoniously, directly interrupting Adams.
These three words caused the smile on Adams' face to freeze instantly.
Lin Yuan continued to ask in that lazy tone:
"Can a meeting kill the people of the Divine Court?"
"No."
Adams answered subconsciously.
"Then can looking at those plans make their nest collapse?"
"Also... no."
Adams' voice now carried a hint of a sob.
"Well then."
Lin Yuan spread his hands as if it were obvious, "Why make it so complicated? It's a complete waste of time."
He shifted his gaze from Adams to the other representatives of the powerhouses present.
"Does any of you know where the Divine Court's nest is?"
When this question was asked, everyone was stunned.
The entire field looked at each other.
This... isn't this the primary problem we gathered here to solve?
If we knew where it was, would we even need this meeting?
Isabella, the Saintess of the Oulu Alliance, hesitated for a moment before biting the bullet and stepping forward, bowing slightly. "Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency, the 'gate of the divine kingdom' is the Divine Court's highest secret; its specific location has always been a mystery. We have utilized all intelligence networks and satellite Systems, and can only roughly deduce that it might be hidden within a high-intensity magnetic storm area in the Vast Ocean, but the exact coordinates..."
"Fine, fine, I get it."
Lin Yuan interrupted her impatiently again.
"In other words, you've searched for ages and found nothing, right?"
Isabella's beautiful face instantly turned bright red, yet she couldn't refute him.
Because what Lin Yuan said was the truth.
Looking at this group of people with 'we tried our best' constipation-like expressions, Lin Yuan sighed.
He felt so tired.
Leading this bunch of noobs was slower than just doing it himself.
He casually handed the half-drunk cola bottle to Gu Ningxue beside him, and then, under everyone's puzzled gaze, he slowly closed his eyes.
"What... what is he doing?"
"I don't know... could he be thinking?"
"The Commander-in-Chief's thoughts are not for us to speculate..."
The crowd discussed in hushed tones, not daring to make too much noise.
The moment Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
An indescribable, invisible ripple suddenly spread out with him as the center!
This ripple didn't stir up any gales, nor did it bring any energy riots.
It was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating the slightest ripple.
The vast majority of people present didn't even feel a thing.
However, powerhouses like Isabella, Ivan, and Cold Moon, whose strength had reached the Juyuan Realm and who were extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, all had their expressions change drastically at this instant!
In their perception, the entire world seemed to have been paused at this moment!
The wind stopped.
The clouds became still.
Even the operation of the countless energy cores inside this steel island beneath their feet experienced a moment of stagnation!
The entire world seemed to prostrate itself under that invisible will, trembling in fear!
What kind of... terrifying feeling was that?
It was as if a Mortal had witnessed the God of Creation slowly opening His eyes.
One's own Soul, one's own existence, was as tiny as a negligible speck of dust before that will!
"Thump!"
Ivan, the giant from North Bear Country, felt his legs go weak and uncontrollably dropped to one knee!
His wild face was filled with shock and awe!
Isabella's delicate body was also trembling violently; she almost lost her grip on the staff in her hand.
She could feel her mental sea nearly collapsing the moment that will swept past!
This... just what kind of power is this?!
Is this truly a power that a human can possess?!
