38: Chapter 37 The world is in an uproar, and you call this an F-level talent?
"Roar—!"
Hearing that there was more to eat, Godzilla let out an excited low roar. Its massive tail kicked up waves tens of meters high on the sea surface, and it turned around without the slightest hesitation, swimming toward the East Sea Defense Line.
"After today, I can't keep a low profile anymore!!"
Luo Yu stood on the edge of the fortress, watching the ninety-two-meter-tall behemoth approaching, and couldn't help but smile.
Well!
Plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Since it was already exposed, he might as well lay everything out on the table.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu leaped directly from the fortress.
"Major Luo Yu!"
Su Qingxue saw this scene from the command center and exclaimed subconsciously.
However, in the next second, everyone was stunned. They saw Luo Yu shift his posture in mid-air, a pale blue spiritual power platform condensing under his feet. He was actually gliding through the air by stepping on spiritual power, flying toward Godzilla as if walking on flat ground.
"This is... the spiritual power manifestation of an S-rank Awakener!"
General Zhan Kuang revealed a look of deep emotion.
An F-rank Talent, yet he had become an eighteen-year-old S-rank Awakener.
In the entire Abyss Era, this was an unprecedented existence.
As for what Luo Yu was going to do, General Zhan Kuang knew, but he didn't stop him. When Godzilla's strength wasn't strong enough, keeping Luo Yu's identity information secret was to protect him.
Now, without realizing it, things had already become so high-profile, especially after Godzilla had killed a Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth in seconds; it couldn't be kept secret anymore.
At the very least, the ubiquitous intelligence agencies of various countries would definitely investigate frantically.
Since that was the case, it was better to expose it proactively now.
On the sea, Luo Yu reached Godzilla in a few leaps and landed steadily on its massive head.
"Godzilla, let's not pretend anymore."
Luo Yu patted Godzilla's scales.
Godzilla understood instantly, let out a low roar, and a joyful light flashed in its vertical pupils.
Then, under the gaze of countless eyes around the world, the terrifying behemoth ninety-two meters tall began to shrink.
Ninety meters...
Fifty meters...
Twenty meters...
Five meters...
One meter...
Finally, Godzilla turned into a thirty-centimeter-long Little Lizard, wobbled as it climbed onto Luo Yu's shoulder, and even rubbed its head against his cheek.
"Hiss hiss~"
The Little Lizard made a comfortable sound.
Luo Yu smiled and stroked its head, then stepped on the spiritual power platform, carrying the shrunken version of Godzilla, and flew slowly back to the fortress of the East Sea Defense Line amidst countless shocked gazes.
This scene was completely captured by the satellites of all countries.
One man and one beast, bathed in the sunset, looked like a scene from a legendary myth.
Silence.
Major monitoring centers around the world fell into a deathly silence that lasted for half a minute.
Countless people watching via satellite live broadcast also showed expressions of extreme shock.
Then...
The world fell into a state of stunned silence for a full minute.
Immediately after, the whole world went completely crazy.
...
The Hundred Palaces of Eagle Country.
In a luxurious, top-tier conference room, the President stared fixedly at the frozen image on the screen—the young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a harmless Little Lizard perched on his shoulder, floating in mid-air by stepping on the air, his expression as calm as if nothing had just happened.
"This... how is this possible?"
The President's voice was somewhat out of tune.
"That monster capable of killing a Third-Tier Giant Beasts in seconds is actually his pet? And it can shrink?"
"Intelligence! Give me all the intelligence on this person!"
The Minister of Intelligence wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tremblingly handed over an emergency investigation report.
"Mr. President, our intelligence network just received news that the official Dragon Country voluntarily disclosed this person's identity information five minutes ago."
"Disclosed it?" The President was stunned and said incredulously: "Are they crazy? Releasing an SSS-level top-secret file just like that?"
"It should be... they decided to show their cards. This time, the actual combat performance of Dragon Country's Godzilla was too good, exposing many clues. If our intelligence agencies went full throttle, we would have been able to find out eventually; it was just a matter of time." The Minister of Intelligence swallowed and continued: "The data shows that this person is named Luo Yu, eighteen years old this year, from Baijiang City in Dragon Country, and grew up in an orphanage."
"Wait." The President interrupted him, saying: "Eighteen years old? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
The Minister of Intelligence nodded, swallowed again, and then said with extreme disbelief: "And what's even more ridiculous is... his awakened Talent rank is... F-rank."
"What?"
The President stood up abruptly, knocking his chair to the ground.
"F-rank? Are you joking with me?"
"It's not a joke." The Minister of Intelligence smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The data released by the Dragon Country officials shows that the Talent Luo Yu awakened is an F-rank 'Mutated Lizard Control'."
"F-rank... Mutated Lizard Control..."
The President looked at the thirty-centimeter-long Little Lizard on the screen, then recalled the terrifying ninety-two-meter-tall behemoth from just a moment ago.
"You call this an F-rank Talent?"
Well!
The President's voice was almost a roar.
"Is Dragon Country insulting the intelligence of the whole world? Or do they take us for idiots and fools? That monster can kill a Third-Tier Giant Beasts in seconds, and its destructive power is comparable to a strategic nuclear weapon, and you're telling me this is an F-rank Talent?"
"Mr. President..." The Minister of National Defense wiped his sweat and said cautiously: "Perhaps... Dragon Country's Talent rating standards are different from ours?"
"Bullshit!"
The President cursed directly, exasperated: "The global Awakener system is unified! F-rank is F-rank, at most capable of controlling an ordinary mutated animal, and its combat power isn't even comparable to an E-rank Awakener!"
"But..." the Minister of Intelligence said weakly, "The facts are right before our eyes."
The President fell silent.
Indeed.
The facts were right before his eyes.
An eighteen-year-old F-rank Awakener possessing a pet capable of killing a Third-Tier Giant Beasts in seconds, and it was an F-rank 'Mutated Lizard Control' Talent.
Where the hell did this go wrong?
...
Northern Border Federation, The Kremlin.
After the President finished reading the data released by Dragon Country, he fell into deep thought.
"Eighteen years old, F-rank Talent, grew up in an orphanage..."
He muttered to himself.
The development of events had completely exceeded his expectations, and the constant exposures were almost numbing.
Suddenly, the President looked up at the Minister of Intelligence.
"Immediately investigate all information on this Luo Yu. From his birth until now, do not miss a single detail."
"Yes!"
"Also." The President stood up and walked to the window, "Contact the Dragon Country Ministry of Foreign Affairs and say that we are willing to invite Luo Yu to visit the Northern Border Federation with the highest level of courtesy."
"Mr. President, you are..."
"If such a genius could be used by us..." A sharp glint flashed in the President's eyes.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs shook his head quickly.
"With all due respect, that is impossible. Luo Yu was cultivated by Dragon Country, and judging from the public data, he is currently a major in the Dragon Country military."
"Then offer more money." The President took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Offer a price he cannot refuse."
"Yes..."
"By the way, Dragon Country said they could help other countries process nuclear waste, and the cost is one hundred thousand dragon coin per ton of nuclear waste."
"What? They still want to charge money?"
"Yes!!"
"Does Dragon Country think we will beg them to process nuclear waste? First, send an invitation to Luo Yu for me..."
"..."
