241: Tiger King Banner
This night was undoubtedly a very long one for everyone.
Because during the day, a terrifying ferocious beast conveyed its domineering declaration of "Surrender or Death" to all Blue Star creatures.
They faced an incredibly difficult choice.
However, at such a tense moment, something happened on Blue Star that was enough to shock everyone.
Banners were fluttering in the wind, drifting over every inch of land belonging to America.
White background.
Black lines.
Each stroke was simple, yet it outlined a very vivid pattern.
It was a tiger's head, a tiger's head that was majestic and domineering to the extreme.
Just looking at it made people feel as if they were directly facing the Tiger King, unable to help but feel a sense of fear.
Not only that, after looking at it for a long time, one could even hear the tiger's roar that once spread throughout the entire Blue Star:
"Surrender or Death!"
Although there are many tigers in the world, such obvious features immediately made people recognize this as the Tiger King's head.
Tiger King Flag, this was actually a Tiger King Flag!
It replaced the former Stars and Stripes, fluttering in every corner of America.
Looking at the gracefully fluttering Tiger King Flag, MacArthur also felt a surge of emotion.
Etna had not only excellently completed the task he had assigned, but had done so superbly.
Such a vivid Tiger King Flag was simply a stroke of genius.
Of course, what surprised MacArthur the most was the speed of execution of this plan; the efficiency was terrifyingly high.
The order to surrender was passed down from MacArthur, level by level, without receiving a single disobedient reply.
Even Sheng City, which regarded America's honor as its life, did not choose to refuse, cooperating with MacArthur's plan at the first opportunity.
This was also why the entire America could be so unified, allowing the Tiger King Flag to fly in every corner.
It was precisely such a smooth transmission of orders that made MacArthur break out in a cold sweat.
He had never considered a possibility: that the Tigers Might had already permeated the entire America.
Leaving no one in the entire America capable of even thinking of resisting.
If he had stubbornly insisted on forcibly choosing to fight the Tiger King.
Then what awaited him might have been an extremely tragic end.
Of course.
Unless MacArthur had lost his mind, he would basically not do such a brain-dead thing.
Taking a deep breath, MacArthur picked up the microphone in his hand and shouted loudly:
"I, MacArthur, represent the entire America in expressing surrender to Lord Tiger King."
"We beg the benevolent Lord Tiger King to generously bestow his divine light and protect your new subjects."
MacArthur's steady voice spread throughout America through the microphone.
But America's last bit of pathetic dignity had been personally crushed by MacArthur.
Now, what remained was a new America, a new America subservient to Lin Tianwei.
Hearing this familiar voice, which spread throughout America, Ouro was immediately stunned.
Isn't this the younger brother who kept trying to curry favor with him yesterday, asking about Lord Tiger King's preferences?
He was actually the leader of America, the undisputed decision-maker of the entire America.
However, Ouro immediately realized that he was no longer who he used to be.
Now, he didn't need to look up to others; instead, he had become the object others looked up to.
Because he represented the supreme Lord Tiger King!
..."Yes."
Just as MacArthur wiped the sweat from his forehead, preparing to end the surrender ceremony, he heard a deafening sound that resonated through his soul.
It was full of majesty, familiar yet strange, and it was Lin Tianwei's voice.
MacArthur never imagined that his words would actually receive a reply from Lin Tianwei.
As MacArthur was surprised, a vast and ocean-like Tigers Might swept across every inch of America's land.
However, this time, Lin Tianwei's terrifying Tigers Might did not have any negative impact on them; instead, it made them feel a sense of peace.
It was as if they had been protected by some powerful entity.
This feeling of being protected by a powerful presence made MacArthur feel incredibly secure.
As if no matter how powerful an existence, it could not harm him.
MacArthur was immediately stunned.
He even felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Is this... is this the protection of Lord Tiger King?
Protection that could guarantee his absolute safety.
MacArthur sighed, how long had it been since he last felt this incredibly reassuring feeling?
Ever since the world began to mutate, even MacArthur, despite his high position, had to constantly face potential dangers.
Unless he was in a completely sealed safe house, he didn't even dare to sleep soundly.
If even MacArthur was treading on thin ice like this, the lives of other ordinary people were even more indescribable.
Especially for those who had to leave the city to gather resources in the wild, they constantly faced the possibility of powerful Awakened Beasts suddenly appearing.
A slight misstep could lead to an irreversible situation.
Sheng City.
As the city MacArthur believed was most likely to refuse to surrender, there was indeed a different atmosphere here compared to other places.
Although the Tiger King Flag was flying, it was clear that the people here were not convinced.
Many even secretly hid the Stars and Stripes, attempting to tamper with the fluttering Tiger King Flags.
However, before they could even start, they were completely enveloped by Lin Tianwei's Tigers Might.
Pressure.
Immense pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, bore directly upon them.
It must be said that Mental Power is a very miraculous force, capable of even sensing the emotions of living beings.
With Lin Tianwei's terrifying Mental Power, he could completely identify the target's reaction to the Tigers Might the moment it descended, and then adjust its function.
That is to say, the more submissive a person was to the Tigers Might, the greater the goodwill the Tigers Might released towards them, only serving to soothe and protect.
The more resistant a person was to the Tigers Might, the greater the pressure the Tigers Might released towards them.
This was why these people felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
It was also because Lin Tianwei was relatively benevolent and did not fully unleash the power of the Tigers Might.
Otherwise, the mere oppression of the Tigers Might would be enough to instantly kill them.
However, for their weak selves, even this level of Tigers Might was enough to make them feel immense pressure.
Thump.
With a dull thud, Torres could no longer hold back; unable to withstand the immense pressure from Lin Tianwei, he directly knelt to the ground.
His powerful physique caused him to heavily indent two large pits in the ground, a clear indication of the pressure brought by Lin Tianwei.
Cold sweat continuously seeped from Torres's forehead, and the immense pressure made him pant heavily.
He never imagined that he would suffer a cross-dimensional attack from Lin Tianwei.
The terrifying pressure made him almost unable to move.
Torres exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, roaring:
"I knew the Tiger King was unreliable; making us surrender to him definitely has some conspiracy."
"And now is the time for him to execute his conspiracy."
"Everyone, cheer up and resist the Tiger King's tyrannical rule with me."
However, Torres's words did not receive any response.
Glancing around, he found that the people around him were looking at him with a very strange gaze.
As if they were looking at some madman.
Only then did Torres realize that he was the only one feeling immense pressure.
Why?
Why target me?
Torres roared in his heart.
However, the pressure on him did not lessen; instead, it grew stronger and stronger.
Sweat gradually soaked Torres's clothes, making him feel as uncomfortable as if he were submerged in water.
But what was even more unbearable was his spirit.
The terrifying coercion from Lin Tianwei was constantly eroding his spirit.
Fainting?
This might be the best option now.
However, Torres discovered in horror that he didn't even have the chance to faint.
He could only endure the mountain-like pressure, little by little.
Just then, Torres's friend beside him said to Torres, "Torres, what's wrong with you?"
"Why do you look so uncomfortable, as if you're going through the most terrifying battle?"
"But I don't feel anything; I just feel very at ease."
"As if a powerful force is protecting me."
His friend's words immediately stunned Torres.
Why did his friend feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, while he felt Mount Tai pressing down on him?
Excluding the highly improbable possibility that the Tiger King was targeting him, then it could only be due to his own reasons.
Was his resistance to the Tiger King causing all of this?
As for why Torres thought the Tiger King wouldn't target him, the answer was very simple.
Because he wasn't worthy.
He still had a little self-awareness; with his strength, he was simply not worthy of the Tiger King targeting him.
Moreover, if the Tiger King really wanted to trouble him, perhaps Torres would already be a dead man the moment that thought arose.
After understanding everything, Torres's thinking also changed.
His tense body suddenly relaxed, as if he had given up struggling and had calmly accepted death.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the pressure on him not only did not become irresistible with his relaxation.
Instead, for some unknown reason, a magical change occurred.
From heavy pressure, it turned into gentleness, allowing him to also experience the feeling his friend described.
Warm and reassuring.
Torres was immediately stunned.
How could there be such a miraculous change in this world?
It was so intelligent that it didn't seem like something that should exist in nature.
A miracle, this was a miracle!
A flash of understanding suddenly crossed Torres's mind.
Only a miracle could explain everything that was happening before his eyes.
Thinking of this, he eagerly took out his phone, trying to share his miraculous experience with everyone.
As America's economy and technology gradually recovered, the mobile phone, once a communication and entertainment tool, was once again put into use.
Even the internet once again covered every corner of America.
Of course, at this time, it was as if they were in the 2G era, where every bit of data was terribly expensive.
However, Torres at this moment didn't care about these data costs, which were usually incredibly expensive in his eyes.
The urge to share made him eagerly post his feelings on the internet.
However, after he successfully sent it, he found that there were already many voices similar to his on the internet.
Like him, they had experienced two completely different feelings when their attitude towards the Tiger King shifted from resistance to acceptance.
One thought, heaven; one thought, hell.
This might be what the current idea was referring to.
A miracle, this was an undeniable miracle.
Almost everyone who expressed an opinion came to the same conclusion as Torres.
At the same time, this idea was also recognized by everyone.
Even those who hadn't experienced the cruel, hell-like experience, the mere feeling of reassurance was a miracle-like existence.
It was as if it were the Legendary divine light of God, mercifully protecting every one of his faithful followers.
In an instant, countless people burst into tears, spontaneously kneeling to the ground.
As if by divine inspiration, they sensed the direction of Tiger King Farm.
Abandoning their former beliefs, they began to devoutly pray to Lin Tianwei.
The true God is among men!
...The diversity of humanity meant that not everyone could achieve such profound enlightenment as Torres.
However, these people were truly miserable.
Trapped in hell, they would never experience the feeling of heaven.
Every moment, they could feel the pressure on them gradually increasing.
Little by little, it was trying to crush their bodies and Flexibility.
Surrender or Death, this question was not just for America's leaders.
If they did not express their surrender to him, then let them die, die in a daze, and repent in hell.
Although Lin Tianwei was benevolent enough, he would not extend his benevolence to his enemies.
Twenty-four hours was the last chance Lin Tianwei gave them.
Once the time was up, the surging Tigers Might would completely shatter them.
The only reason they could still struggle was because the twenty-four hours declared by Lin Tianwei had not yet passed.
When the twenty-four hours ended, Lin Tianwei would transform into the God of Death, equally harvesting all lives that resisted him.
Only creatures that expressed surrender to him were qualified to become his tools.
For tools, obedience is the most excellent quality.
Lin Tianwei did not need disobedient tools.
Meeting destruction would be their only choice.
In a sense, the earlier a place expressed surrender to Lin Tianwei, the more advantageous it would be.
Because the people there would have more time to adapt to the changes in the world.
To adapt to a world dominated by Lin Tianwei!
——
Sensation.
This was a sensation that swept across the entire Blue Star.
After hearing MacArthur's resounding declaration, Tofur felt so embarrassed he could have dug out a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment from the ground.
Not long ago, he had vehemently stated that America would absolutely not be the first to surrender to the Tiger King.
But reality was like a slap, fiercely hitting Tofur's face.
Making his face turn red with shame.
MacArthur really surrendered? Was he the first to officially express surrender to the Tiger King?
Not only that, but MacArthur had made this surrender ceremony so earth-shattering, exaggerated like a celebration.
Elegant banners filled the entire land of America; this was a treatment only seen during the founding of America.
Tofur even rubbed his eyes, carefully observing the situation before him.
He tried to find evidence that all of this was an illusion created by Lin Tianwei.
However, no matter how many times he looked, even if his eyeballs popped out, it would not change the established fact.
America was the first to express surrender to Lin Tianwei.
This former hegemon of Blue Star completely humbled himself, expressing surrender to Lin Tianwei, who was stronger than him and capable of ruling the entire Blue Star.
Even.
Tofur even saw an expression of regret in MacArthur's eyes.
Not regret for surrendering to the Tiger King, but rather... regret for surrendering too slowly. (End of chapter)
