127: From this day forward, the ruler of the skies will be surnamed Xia!
When Burns's desperate and terrified shriek of "No—" clearly echoed through The Pentagon's underground command center, the entire world fell silent.
The billions of viewers watching this unprecedented "global live broadcast" all felt as if an invisible hand was firmly gripping their throats!
Their faces were pale!
Their bodies were cold!
Their minds were blank!
What do the Xia people want to do?!
Do they really intend to, right in front of the entire world!
Use the bloodiest and most brutal method!
To challenge the hegemon of the old era!
And launch the final challenge?!
At the same time.
Deep in the Pacific Ocean.
An immense invincible fleet, consisting of three Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, resembled a moving city on the sea!
was swaggering and patrolling across the azure waters!
It was the Seventh
Fleet, the arrogant symbol of the Western Alliance's global hegemony!
At this moment, on the bridge of the flagship, the "Ford".
Fleet Commander General MacArthur was watching the "Kunpeng"
flight demonstration being broadcast live from The Pentagon with a look of disdain.
"Heh, a bunch of clowns."
He raised the coffee cup in his hand, took a small sip, and curled his lip into a cold sneer.
"Just because they made a little flashy trinket, they actually think they can challenge the Western Alliance's aerial supremacy?"
"Simply wishful thinking!"
The Western Alliance naval generals beside him also burst into arrogant and prejudiced laughter!
In their view!
The so-called "aerospace fighter" of the Xia people was nothing more than a showpiece!
Something only meant for performances and showing off, a mere
toy!
In front of their invincible fleet, composed of hundreds of the most advanced warships and hundreds of fifth-generation fighters!
It was simply vulnerable!
However,
just as they were frantically mocking the Xia people's "overestimation of their own abilities".
A terrifying, ear-splitting,
alarm sound!
suddenly echoed throughout the entire bridge!
[Alarm! Alarm!]
[Detecting hundreds of unidentified hypersonic missiles rapidly
approaching the fleet from outside the atmosphere!]
[Estimated arrival in thirty seconds!]
Boom!!!
This sentence was like a black lightning bolt capable of splitting the entire Pacific Ocean!
It struck hard against the heads of MacArthur and all the Western Alliance naval generals present!
They were completely petrified!
"Wha— What?!"
The coffee cup in MacArthur's hand dropped to the floor with a "patta" sound!
He rushed to the radar screen like a madman!
On the screen!
Hundreds of blood-red dots, signifying death!
were moving at a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 30, which no radar could lock onto and no interception system could react to!
were moving at a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 30, which no radar could lock onto and no interception system could react to!
Like a swarm of death meteors from hell!
They were overwhelmingly smashing down upon their massive, so-called "invincible" fleet!
They were overwhelmingly smashing down upon their massive, so-called "invincible" fleet!
"No... impossible..."
MacArthur looked at the terrifying, doomsday-like scene before him and let out a desperate, inhuman
roar!
Without thinking, he screamed:
"Quick! Activate 'Aegis'! Intercept! Intercept them all, damn it!"
However,
before he could finish his sentence.
"Boom—!!!"
"Boom—!!!"
"Boom—!!!"
A terrifying, earth-shattering sound loud enough to make the entire Pacific Ocean tremble
instantly!
drowned out all his words!
On the calm, azure sea surface!
Mushroom clouds, ten thousand times brighter than the sun!
A million times more spectacular than a volcanic eruption!
Huge mushroom clouds!
shot into the sky!
They instantly sent the three arrogant Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, symbols of the Western Alliance's century-long maritime hegemony!
Along with the hundreds of so-called most advanced escort warships!
And the hundreds of so-called most powerful Fifth-Generation Fighters!
In less than ten seconds!
All were sent to the cold, dark, irrecoverable
seabed
hell!
And at this moment.
The billions of viewers worldwide watching this unprecedented "global live broadcast"!
All seemed to be frozen in place!
Staring blankly at the terrifying, "world-ending"
spectacle on the screen!
Their minds were completely blank!
Their breathing stopped at this moment!
Their hearts skipped a beat!
They felt as if they were watching the most real and cruelest
war epic, directed by God himself!
No!
It was a one-sided
massacre!
Meanwhile, in The Pentagon command center.
Burns and the other Western Alliance Big Shots were like walking corpses drained of all their souls!
They slumped weakly in their chairs!
Their faces were ashen!
Their eyes were filled with endless despair!
It's over!
Everything is fucking over!
Their last hope!
Their last reliance!
Their proud maritime
hegemony, which had ruled this planet for a hundred years!
Today!
In front of that god-like, incomprehensible Eastern
Phantom!
was completely crushed into dust!
And over the broadcast.
The magnetic, calm voice of a youth, seemingly from another dimension.
slowly continued.
"To all viewers and friends."
"That little 'target practice' game just now was merely the most basic of our 'Kunpeng' fighter's"
"conventional weapon demonstrations."
"Next,"
a devilish smile curved his lips.
"is the real"
"Time to Surrender."
The moment he finished speaking!
On the screen!
The Golden Phantom, quietly hovering above the Pacific Ocean!
suddenly shuddered!
Then! Under the gaze of Military Big Shots worldwide, filled with shocking disbelief!
It actually transformed like a Transformer!
One aircraft became two!
Two became four!
Four became eight!
In just one minute!
It split into thousands of identical Golden Phantoms, all radiating cold killing intent!
forming a terrifying aerospace fleet that blotted out the sky and was overwhelming enough to suffocate any nation!
"Now,"
Lu Chen's final ultimatum, sounding god-like and unquestionable, came through the broadcast!
"I give you ten minutes."
"Within ten minutes."
"All fighters, bombers, and aircraft carriers belonging to the Western Alliance and its allies,"
"everything that can fly and carries weapons!"
"must be destroyed on the spot!"
"Or,"
"park them permanently in your hangars!"
"Otherwise,"
"I don't mind letting those brilliant 'fireworks' from earlier"
"bloom once more"
"right above your heads."
"From today onward!"
"All the skies of this planet"
"will have only one master!"
"And that is my Xia Nation!"
