72: Chapter 71 The Eagle Country Captain is Enraged? What's there to be afraid of? Let's fight!

Bang!

A large crater was smashed into the concrete floor.

Luo Yu retracted his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, "Sorry, my hand cramped up too."

Fine!

Luo Yu wasn't going to coddle the so-called Eagle Country Captain.

If you want to act cocky, then sorry, I'll just make you look like a fool. Go eat it!

As for Eagle Country getting angry and wanting to kick him out? That's perfect; he wouldn't waste any words and would leave without looking back.

These damn habits are all coddled. You invited me here, and I only came because I was in a good mood. Trying to play little tricks on me? I won't give you any face, not even to the Eagle Country Captain. Simply put, if you don't eat beef, then sorry, I won't eat beef either.

Silence!

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence; the air felt stiflingly heavy.

There was no helping it; no one expected that when the Eagle Country Captain's hand "cramped," he would just pull it back, but when Luo Yu's hand "cramped," he would immediately resort to violence without a word—and right in front of the President of Eagle Country, he slapped the Eagle Country Captain flying.

The President was completely dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Luo Yu would be this hot-tempered—even more so than the Eagle Country Captain?

After all, the Eagle Country Captain at least tried to put on an act, but Luo Yu didn't even bother pretending, showing the Eagle Country Captain absolutely no respect.

"..."

The other high-ranking officials of Eagle Country looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The citizens who came to welcome Godzilla and Luo Yu were even more dumbfounded, completely unable to grasp what had just happened. The Eagle Country's superhero, the Eagle Country Captain, had just been slapped away.

What the hell was going on?

The Eagle Country Captain, who had been slapped away, climbed out of the crater with a clear handprint on his face.

He was completely stunned.

He had only wanted to subtly flex and give Luo Yu a warning to let him know that Eagle Country wasn't a place where he could do whatever he wanted, but he never expected the other party to ignore common sense and go straight to physical violence?

This was completely disregarding him as the leader of the Super Eight-Man Squad!

No, it wasn't just a matter of disregard; it was slapping his face in front of so many people, trampling his dignity and pride underfoot.

"You..."

In an instant, the increasingly furious Eagle Country Captain touched his face, a glimmer of brutality flashing in his eyes.

Not far away, the other seven members of the Super Eight-Man Squad also wore expressions of anger.

What else could they say?

This was a provocation, a blatant disregard for their Super Eight-Man Squad. If they didn't react, the Super Eight-Man Squad would become a laughingstock for countries around the world.

Consequently, under these circumstances, without anyone noticing, black spiritual energy surged from Shadow's body, and his purple eyes flickered with a dangerous light.

Sparks began to fly from the Fire-type Awakened One, electric light flickered in the hands of the Lightning Element Awakener, and the others also entered combat mode.

The message was simple: if Luo Yu didn't provide an explanation, the Super Eight Squad wouldn't let this slide!

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu..."

The President, having snapped back to reality, had cold sweat on his forehead and didn't know what to say.

If it were in the past, he would have already scolded both sides, especially Luo Yu, for daring to hit someone in front of him; he would have had to pay the price.

But... times had changed. This was the Abyss Era, and the superpowers possessed by Awakeners were crucial to a nation. Luo Yu and Godzilla were even more extraordinary. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that they were the hope of all humanity, the hope for every country to achieve a nuclear waste-free future.

"Mr. President, my apologies!"

At this moment, Luo Yu didn't care about all that and said pointedly, "I'm not a person who likes others playing these kinds of little tricks on me."

"You..."

The Eagle Country Captain stood up, his spiritual energy beginning to overflow.

As a peak SSS+ Strength-type Awakener, his released spiritual energy formed a visible blast wave, invisibly causing the surrounding ground to crack and the air to develop spiderweb-like fissures.

"Oh no."

Seeing this, the high-ranking officials of Eagle Country had their expressions change drastically.

They knew all too well what this state of the Eagle Country Captain meant—he was about to get angry! He was about to unleash his power without restraint!

A high-ranking official was just about to step forward to stop him.

"Hmph!!"

The President raised his hand to stop him and said in a low voice, "Step back, let them fight."

"But Mr. President..."

"I said move back quickly!"

A flash of displeasure crossed the President's eyes. "The Super Eight-Man Squad has been getting more and more disobedient lately; this is a good opportunity to see exactly what their strength is."

Hearing this, the high-ranking officials exchanged glances and could only retreat.

The onlookers also realized something was wrong and began to retreat.

However, their expressions were conflicted—on one side was the Eagle Country Captain, the hero of Eagle Country; on the other was Godzilla, who could dispose of nuclear waste and slaughter Abyssal Giant Beasts. They didn't know who to support.

This multiple-choice question was truly too difficult.

Thus, five minutes later, only Luo Yu and the eight members of the Super Eight-Man Squad remained on the vast tarmac area.

"Luo Yu."

The Eagle Country Captain loosened his neck, making a cracking sound.

"Do you know? In Eagle Country, no one has ever dared to treat me like this."

"Is that so?"

Luo Yu shrugged dismissively and said, "Well, now there is."

"Very good."

The Eagle Country Captain's expression became increasingly gloomy. "Since you want to be beaten, I'll grant your wish and let you know that you need to keep a low profile in Eagle Country."

"Shadow, you guys, attack!"

As soon as his voice fell, Shadow's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.

The next instant, he appeared behind Luo Yu, a Shadow Blade condensed in his hand, stabbing directly at Luo Yu's heart.

At the same time, the Fire-type Awakened One spewed hot pillars of fire from his hands. The Lightning Element Awakener released several bolts of lightning. The Frost-type Awakener condensed countless ice spikes. The Storm-type Awakener whipped up a violent gale. The Earth-type Awakener manipulated the ground, trying to trap Luo Yu.

For a moment, six SS-Class Awakened launched their attacks simultaneously, their coordination seamless.

"Godzilla, don't move."

Luo Yu revealed an excited and expectant look, saying excitedly, "I want to know just how strong I am now."

Hiss!

Hearing this, Godzilla, who was originally about to erupt, immediately lay down, its vertical pupils fixed on those attacks, but it didn't make a single move.

Just as the various attacks were about to hit Luo Yu.

Boom!

A terrifying spiritual energy erupted from within Luo Yu—that was the power of the atomic reactor!
