Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1198 Edward Teach

"As long as we find the treasure, we will be able to become the best of the world! Wealth, power, honor, everything will belong to us!"

Jack's words were like a burning flame, which not only ignited the fire of greed deep in the hearts of the mercenaries, but also seemed to drop a bomb of desire over the entire Kyoto, stirring up layers of waves.

This group of mercenaries includes retired special forces, criminals on the run, and ordinary people who want to get rich overnight.

Although they have different backgrounds and beliefs, at this moment, they are all tightly bound together by the same dream - to find the legendary treasure and use it to rewrite the trajectory of their lives.

Under Jack's leadership, they acted quickly, divided into several groups, and headed in various directions of Kyoto.

When other countries saw this, they wondered how this could work.
In this new era of resurrected spiritual power and frequent appearance of monsters, the treasure not only means power, but also symbolizes the control over the unknown.

Governments responded quickly, unwilling to see such a treasure that could overturn the existing order fall into the hands of others, especially those who might have ulterior motives.

Thus, an unprecedented international struggle quietly began.

The representative of America stood at the podium of the United Nations and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The existence of nuclear weapons in this new era is both an opportunity and a challenge. We must ensure that these forces are in the hands of capable and responsible countries to maintain global security and stability. We cannot tolerate any individual or organization using these sacred objects to create chaos and disasters. This is a crime against all mankind!"

His speech was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Some countries agree with this, believing that it is a necessary guarantee for global security; while other countries oppose it, believing that it is just another act of hegemony by a strong country over a weak country and an infringement on national sovereignty.

In the conference hall, representatives from various countries exchanged sharp words and argued endlessly.

Outside the venue, a more intense international struggle has quietly begun.

In this era of spiritual awakening, who doesn’t want to have more say and influence?

Noble Phantasms, like the nuclear weapons of the new era, have become the target of competition among all countries. Whoever possesses them will have the upper hand in this era of great spiritual power and may even become one of the overlords of the earth.

Against this backdrop, the five “chairs” that symbolize the highest power in the international order began to crumble.

After the end of World War II, the owners of the five chairs enjoyed supreme glory and power with the help of nuclear weapons. They were rampant around the world and no one dared to provoke them.

However, with the advent of a new era, all this will change.

Although the deterrent power of nuclear weapons is still strong, it seems a little powerless in front of the treasure. After all, the power contained in the treasure is incomparable to nuclear weapons.

So the question is, who wouldn’t go crazy when all five chairs could be replaced?
In order to sit on the chair of the new era and become one of the overlords of the earth, some countries began to move and were determined to obtain the treasure at all costs.

Some people even began planning for World War III in an attempt to seize these powers through war.

Although Busujima Saeko and the others did not disclose information about their Noble Phantasms, those who were interested were still able to notice their weapons.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's Death-piercing Spear is too conspicuous.

Moreover, as maids of the god on earth, no one would believe them if they said they did not obtain the treasure.

Faced with such a situation, the Self-Defense Forces, which had been dragging their feet, had to stand up, blockade the area around Kyoto, and issue a warning through the radio: "This is our country's territory. Any illegal invaders will be killed on the spot!" However, these warnings were like nothing. "Army" and "adventurers" from all over the world continued to flock to Kyoto, trying to find their own opportunities in this ancient and mysterious land.

However, the first thing they have to face is the large number of predators released by the giant beast, the great monster lair in Kyoto.

These predators are numerous, and they act like a natural barrier, guarding the peace of Kyoto.

Want to get the Noble Phantasm? Get rid of these obstacles first!

As a result, the global situation seemed to be driven by an invisible force. Those countries that were originally watching and hesitating no longer reserved their strength and put all their efforts into the fierce competition over the mysterious treasure.

This is not just a fight for a treasure, but also a contest over the country's status and influence in the international landscape of the new era.

Once they miss the opportunity, it may mean that their voices will be drowned out forever in the future history.

On this turbulent stage, various countries are fighting openly and secretly, each showing off their own unique abilities.

At the core of this battle, a man named Edward Teach became the focus of everyone's attention with his unique image and extraordinary strength.

He is not the infamous Blackbeard pirate in history, but a retired officer from a completely different world - the Great Mao Kingdom.

Edward is over two meters tall, with a sturdy physique and muscles bulging like sculptures. He is like a walking mountain, intimidating.

Therefore, he was nicknamed "The Mountain" in the army. This name was not only an intuitive description of his body shape, but also a sign of respect for his powerful fighting ability.

"Hahahaha, you want to stop me, Edward Teach, from obtaining the Noble Phantasm? Go to hell!"

At this moment, Edward was standing on the ruins of an abandoned factory, holding two heavy machine guns, pouring endless firepower at the dense Self-Defense Force positions in front of him.

Bullets rained down, raising clouds of dust and sparks, and the Self-Defense Forces' defense line was crumbling under his fierce attack.

There was a mad light flashing in Edward's eyes. He seemed to have forgotten about life and death. He only wanted to win the fight and take the treasure for himself.

"This madman!"

A demon power user in the Self-Defense Force cursed under his breath.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the demonic power in his body. An invisible force surged in his body. In an instant, his body seemed to be blessed by some mysterious power. The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human beings.

He was like a flash of lightning, moving through the hail of bullets and approaching Edward.

"Colonel Edward is a goblin-level transcendent!"

The sniper next to him was observing the battlefield through the scope. He was surprised to find that even with his carefully calculated lead time, he could not accurately hit the approaching guy.
