166: Everyone welcomed them with great fanfare; the procession was enormous.

Donghai City Psionic Bureau, Command Center.

On the massive screen wall, countless data streams refreshed like a waterfall.

Sporadic battle reports from the Northwest Front, energy fluctuation maps, and blurry images captured by satellites were constantly enlarged and analyzed.

The atmosphere was so heavy it felt like water could be wrung out of it.

Everyone's face was written with anxiety, worry, and a hint of unconcealable fear.

An officer responsible for communications looked up, his tone filled with shock:

“This time, the Capital General Bureau has almost sent out its entire force!”

“The two ace special operations brigades, 'Dragon Fang' and 'Phoenix Wing', have been fully mobilized.”

“Top combat forces from the Northwest, Central Plains, and Northern regions are also rushing to provide aid. Even the military has deployed the highest level of blockades and support!”

“In all my years of service, I have never seen such a large-scale joint operation!”

A veteran Special Agent muttered to himself, his eyes filled with horror:

“I have to say, this is truly the strength of the entire nation being poured out!”

“I've never seen such a spectacle in my life!”

“The General Bureau is going to risk everything. Even if they have to wipe the entire Black Wind Mountain Range off the map, they intend to completely annihilate the Evil God Cult!”

At that moment, a monitor shouted with a trembling voice:

“The energy readings in the Black Wind Mountain Range have gone off the charts again! This time it's more terrifying than any before!”

On the screen, a crimson curve suddenly climbed to the very top.

Another intelligence analyst turned pale, his voice dry:

“It's an Evil God! Absolutely an Evil God-level power has descended!”

“This level of energy reaction has far exceeded our recording limits!”

“This is simply not a power that humans can contend with!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately erupted.

“An Evil God? Can the Evil God Cult really summon something like that?!”

“Word is that Special Commissioner Chen charged straight in. Is that really okay? It's too risky!”

“Yeah, I know Special Commissioner Chen is strong, strong beyond common sense, but that's an Evil God after all!”

For a moment, a sense of pessimism began to spread quietly.

Although Chen Nian's past achievements were glorious enough to be called legendary, this time, the opponent's level was completely different.

An Evil God—in human cognition, that was an existence synonymous with natural disasters and the apocalypse!

The command center instantly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath, their faces turning even paler.

Though they didn't want to admit it, what were the odds of survival when going deep into an Evil God's lair and facing that kind of unspeakable horror...?

“Stop overthinking!”

Just then, Director Qin Shan slammed the console and shouted sternly:

“Who is Special Commissioner Chen? He's the one who could slay the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon and wipe out the Eternal Life Cult with one hand. Has he created few miracles?!”

Hearing this, another captain also forced himself to cheer up and agreed:

“Right! We have to believe in Special Commissioner Chen!”

“Since he dared to go, he must have his reasons!”

“Maybe... maybe he's in there right now, slaughtering everyone in all directions!”

However, his words lacked confidence; even he himself didn't quite believe it.

Was an Evil God's lair a place where one could 'slaughter everyone in all directions'?

That was basically the lowest level of Hell!

“Sigh...” An old section chief sighed, his tone much heavier.

“No matter what, Special Commissioner Chen took this extraordinary risk for the Dragon Kingdom, for all of us.”

“This courage and responsibility—I, Old Liu, admire him to the point of prostrating myself!”

These words carried a sense of tragic heroism.

After a moment of silence, everyone nodded one after another, their eyes showing deep respect and agreement.

Indeed, regardless of the outcome, for the courage and responsibility of facing an Evil God alone,

Special Commissioner Chen was worthy of everyone's respect.

Just as this atmosphere of tragic heroism and worry reached its peak—

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

A rapid alert sound suddenly came from the highest priority communication channel!

Everyone jolted, their gazes instantly focusing there!

An agent from the intelligence section hurriedly connected the communication: “Hello? Frontline command? What's the situation? Special Commissioner Chen, he...”

Before he could finish his question, an extremely excited voice, even carrying a hint of sobbing, came from the other end of the communicator:

“Resolved! It's all resolved!! My god! A miracle! A divine miracle!!!”

“The Evil God Cult headquarters has been completely leveled! All high-level members, cultists, and Demonic Evils have been wiped out! Not a single one left!”

“The Evil God! The Evil God descended! But it was killed by Special Commissioner Chen's own hands! Blasted until not even dregs remain!!”

“Boom—!!!!”

The entire command center felt as if a heavy bomb had been dropped into it!

Everyone stood frozen in place as if a paralysis spell had been cast on them, their facial expressions completely solidified!

Resolved?

The Evil God Cult wiped out?

The Evil God was killed by Special Commissioner Chen personally?!

Every word was like a bolt of thunder from the Nine Heavens, striking hard into their minds.

It blasted their thinking, their cognition, and their worldview into fragments!

After a brief, extreme dead silence—

“Whoosh—!!!!!!!”

Deafening cheers and shouts, mixed with wild joy, shock, and disbelief.

It erupted instantly like a mountain landslide or a tsunami, nearly lifting the roof off the command center!

“My god!!!”

“I'm not dreaming, am I?! The Evil God Cult has been annihilated, and even the Evil God was killed by Special Commissioner Chen?!”

“Is this really something a human can do? Special Commissioner Chen is just too strong!”

“A god! He is a god! A True God walking among mortals!!”

Wild joy and excitement erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly drowning out the previous worry and pessimism!

Everyone's face was filled with extreme excitement and fanaticism. Many were even moved to tears, hugging each other in a state of madness!

Even Director Qin Shan lost his previous composure and said excitedly:

“Good! Good! Great! Quick! Prepare the reception! Highest specifications! No! Beyond the highest specifications! Welcome our hero's return!!”

Orders were quickly issued!

The entire Donghai City Psionic Bureau headquarters, like a giant beast awakened from sleep, instantly began to operate at high speed!

The headquarters gates swung wide open, and a red carpet was laid out from outside the gates straight to the center of the plaza!

Led by Director Qin Shan, all high-level leaders and action team captains were mobilized.

They lined up neatly, standing on both sides of the red carpet with expressions of excitement and solemnity!

The news spread as if it had grown wings, quickly reaching every corner of the headquarters.

More and more Special Agents, clerical staff, and logistics personnel spontaneously flooded toward the plaza.

Everyone's face beamed with excitement, admiration, and the wild joy of sharing in the glory!

Not long after—

A golden stream of light was seen in the distant sky, breaking through the air at an incredible speed!

The speed of that light was extremely fast; one second it was on the horizon, and the next it had clearly appeared above the headquarters!

The brilliant golden light slowly receded, revealing a tall and straight figure dressed in ordinary casual clothes, yet appearing to contain infinite power.

Chen Nian slowly descended from the sky, his feet lightly stepping onto the laid red carpet.

His clothes fluttered slightly, and his expression was calm, as if he had just returned from completing an ordinary daily task.

“Salute—!!!”

Director Qin Shan used all his strength to let out a hoarse and excited shout!

“Swish—!!!”

On the plaza, all members of the Psionic Bureau, regardless of rank or location, straightened their bodies in unison, raised their right hands, and gave the most standard and solemn military salute!

Their gazes were burning, filled with infinite awe and admiration!

Qin Shan stepped forward quickly, his voice somewhat choked with emotion:

“Special Commissioner Chen, welcome back!”

“You've worked hard. All colleagues of the Donghai Psionic Bureau pay you our highest respects!”

Chen Nian looked at the spectacle before him and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

He felt that these displays were getting more and more exaggerated.
