150: Chapter 149 A Grand Banquet, Invitations from Various Countries
As the words fell.
The entire room stood up, and applause thundered.
Luo Yu sat in the front row, wearing a brand-new military uniform, with miniature versions of Godzilla and Mothra perched on his shoulders.
"Hiss, hiss."
Godzilla let out a yawn.
"Chirp~"
Mothra's antennae swayed gently.
To tell the truth, the two little ones were completely uninterested in this kind of occasion and just wanted to go back to sleep.
"Bear with it."
Luo Yu whispered, "It will be over soon."
"Now, let us welcome General Luo Yu... no, Marshal Luo Yu to the stage!"
The Host's voice rang out.
Luo Yu stood up and walked onto the podium.
The applause became even more enthusiastic.
The Supreme Commander of the military personally pinned the marshal's epaulets onto him.
The golden epaulets glittered under the lights.
"Marshal Luo Yu, you are the pride of the Dragon Country and the hero of all humanity."
The old man held Luo Yu's hand, his eyes full of gratification.
"I only did what I had to do," Luo Yu said calmly.
"No," the old man shook his head, "what you have done far exceeds our imagination."
"From today on, you will enjoy the highest honor of the Dragon Country."
"Whatever you need, the country will fully support you."
"Thank you," Luo Yu nodded.
Subsequently, the heads of various countries came to the stage one by one.
Well! Luo Yu had originally refused, but now, his refusal could not stop the enthusiasm of the various countries.
The President of Eagle Country presented the Medal of Freedom.
"Marshal Luo Yu, the people of Eagle Country will be forever grateful to you."
The President's attitude was unbelievably respectful.
It made sense; the incident involving the Eagle Country Captain was still fresh in memory, and after a series of subsequent events, the advantage was now entirely with the Dragon Country. They had no choice but to bow their heads.
The President of the Northern Border Federation presented the Medal of Heroism.
"Marshal Luo Yu, you are a true warrior!"
The President also brought a whole case of top-tier vodka.
"This is the best liquor from our country; please be sure to accept it."
The Chairman of the Western European Alliance presented the Medal of Peace.
"Marshal Luo Yu, the Western European Alliance pays tribute to you."
Even the representative of the interim government of Japan came.
Although the country was gone, they still brought a gift—a solid gold statue of Godzilla.
"This is our remaining gold reserve..."
The representative's eyes were red when he spoke.
Luo Yu looked at the statue and refused it cleanly and decisively.
The representative's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, only to be helped away immediately after.
The award ceremony lasted for a full two hours.
Luo Yu's chest was covered with various medals, which looked a bit comical.
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla poked at a medal with its claw.
"Chirp, chirp." Mothra also came over to look.
The two little ones were very interested in these shiny things.
"Don't mess around," Luo Yu whispered.
Finally, the award ceremony ended.
Next was the banquet segment.
Inside the banquet hall of the auditorium, all kinds of delicacies were laid out.
Heads of state, high-ranking military officials, and scientific researchers gathered together.
"Marshal Luo Yu, a toast to you!" the General Zhan Kuang walked over with a glass of wine.
"You are too kind, General," Luo Yu raised his glass.
"Not at all," the General Zhan Kuang downed the drink in one gulp. "You saved all of humanity; I must toast to this."
"Yes, yes, I want to toast too!" Other generals also gathered around.
Luo Yu responded to them one by one.
The nuclear reactor energy inside his body automatically broke down the alcohol; no matter how much he drank, he wouldn't get drunk.
"Luo Yu." Zhiruo walked over holding juice.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm doing well," Luo Yu smiled. "Just a bit tired."
"Then get some rest early," Qingxue also walked over. "For this kind of occasion, just going through the motions is enough."
"I know," Luo Yu nodded.
Just then, the President of Eagle Country walked over.
"Marshal Luo Yu, could we talk in private?"
"Sure."
The two walked to the corner of the banquet hall.
"Marshal Luo Yu, I have a request." The President's attitude was very humble.
"Speak."
"It's like this..." the President hesitated. "Eagle Country would like to invite you to visit our country again."
"A visit?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," the President nodded and said, "We want the public to see you, Godzilla, and Mothra with their own eyes again. This can boost morale and give people more confidence in the future."
"..." Luo Yu was silent for a few seconds. "Sure, but I won't stay too long."
"That's enough, that's enough!" The President was so excited he almost jumped up. "One day is fine, no, half a day is fine!"
"Then half a day."
"That's great!" The President held Luo Yu's hand. "Marshal Luo Yu, the people of Eagle Country will forever remember your kindness."
After speaking, the President turned and left.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at Luo Yu.
A complex light flashed in his eyes.
"The Wangdi Organization's Mechagodzilla project... must be accelerated," he thought silently to himself.
"Although Marshal Luo Yu is a hero, but... Eagle Country cannot rely on others forever."
"We need our own strength."
On the other side, the President of the Northern Border Federation also walked over.
"Marshal Luo Yu, we also want to invite you to visit the Northern Border Federation."
"Sure," Luo Yu nodded. "Let's set the time for after Eagle Country."
"No problem!"
The Chairman of the Western European Alliance also came.
"Marshal Luo Yu..."
"I know," Luo Yu interrupted him. "You also want to invite me to visit, right?"
"Yes," the Chairman was a bit embarrassed.
"Sure," Luo Yu said. "But I can only stay in Western Europe for one day."
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Just like that, Luo Yu was "harassed" in turns by the heads of various countries at the banquet.
Everyone wanted to invite him to visit their country.
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla, perched on Luo Yu's shoulder, had already fallen asleep.
"Chirp, chirp." Mothra had also fallen asleep out of boredom.
The two little ones were truly completely uninterested in these human social activities.
"I want to sleep too..." Luo Yu sighed in his heart.
Finally, the banquet ended.
Luo Yu returned to his hotel room and collapsed onto the bed.
"Exhausted..."
"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla jumped onto his chest and patted his face with its little claw.
"Chirp, chirp." Mothra also flew over, its antennae gently touching his forehead.
Pure white light flowed out from the tips of the antennae and injected into Luo Yu's body.
The feeling of exhaustion vanished instantly.
"Thank you," Luo Yu grinned.
"Chirp~" Mothra's antennae swayed even faster.
"Right," Luo Yu sat up. "System, show my attribute panel."
"Host: Luo Yu"
"Level: Ninth Order Late Stage (Abyssal Giant Beast)"
"Spirit Power: 61,675,000,000"
"Abilities: nuclear reactor - Perfect, Light Destruction - Primary, Gravity Control - Advanced..."
"Pet: Godzilla (king of the titans - Ultimate Destruction), Mothra (Moth of Light - Titan Level)"
"Sixty-one point six seven five billion Spirit Power..." Luo Yu muttered to himself.
"It's still a long way from breaking through to the Tenth Order."
"Godzilla and Mothra also need to continue to evolve."
"Although the wormhole has collapsed, the three kings of the abyss will definitely find a way to repair it."
"I must become stronger before that happens."
Thinking of this, Luo Yu turned his head to look out the window.
In the night sky, the starlight was very bright.
"One year..."
"That's enough."
