The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 373 The Fall of Washington

As a sharp whistling sound cut through the sky, Tony's iron army rushed to the scene at lightning speed under the precise control of the intelligent butler Jarvis.

Steel armors drew silver tracks in the air, the metal shells flashed coldly in the sunlight, and the roar of the engines made people's eardrums hurt.

When the president saw this scene, his nerves, which had been tense to the extreme, relaxed a little. He took a deep breath, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes.

"Mr. Erwin..."

The president was about to say something, trying to use the deterrent effect of the arrival of the Iron Army to negotiate with Wes and get him to stop this crazy behavior.

However, Weiss ignored him and just stretched out his finger and tapped the steel troops in the air.

A mysterious and deep black hole appeared out of nowhere, and the space around the hole was distorted.

Those majestic steel troops in the air were pulled by an invisible powerful force and flew involuntarily towards the black hole.

Once sucked into the black hole, the iron armor made a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, and was instantly squeezed and torn, turning into a pile of useless scrap metal, which fell from the sky, scattered all over the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The president's heart, which had just been relieved, instantly rose to his throat again. He widened his eyes, looked at the incredible scene in front of him with horror, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"Mr. Alvin, I don't think you want to make things worse, right?"

The president tried hard to control his trembling voice, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone, trying to find a turning point again and reach a compromise with Weiss.

"I will find a way to find the person who is against you, don't worry..."

There was a hint of urgency in the president's words, and his eyes were full of expectation, hoping to calm Weiss's emotions.

However, can the promises of politicians be trusted?

The answer is of course no. In this life-or-death moment,

The president's promise is more like a stopgap measure for self-preservation and has no credibility at all.

Weiss was not moved at all. His eyes were still cold and he turned a deaf ear to the president's words.

"Frozen."

A powerful magical force quickly spread out from him.

Frost began to spread on the ground, and everything was quickly frozen wherever it went. Flowers, plants and trees were instantly wrapped in a layer of crystal clear ice, losing their original vitality.

A bitter cold wind also howled, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, raging in the streets and alleys of Washington, making the doors and windows rattle. Pedestrians on the road shivered from the sudden cold and ran around looking for shelter.

The power of frost and cold wind did not stop there, but continued to spread outward at an astonishing speed, soon sweeping across the entire Washington area.

High-rise buildings were covered in frost, and cars on the streets were frozen. The entire city turned into a freezing hell of ice and snow. "The fun is just beginning."

Weiss stood on the frost-covered land of Washington, whispering with a blank expression.

You know, as a very influential country in the world today, the United States' every move has always attracted the attention of countries around the world. Now that such a major and extraordinary thing has happened in its capital, Washington, it has shocked the world.

Countless news media around the world rushed to the scene like sharks smelling blood. Reporters from major TV stations, newspapers, and online media tried their best to rush to Washington as soon as possible, hoping to dig up exclusive first-hand intelligence and convey this shocking news to the eagerly awaited audiences around the world.

Intelligence agencies in various countries were also busy. They secretly sent their most elite agents to sneak into Washington, trying to find the truth from all angles and find out what had caused the city to fall into such a desperate situation.

"The BBC reports that Washington is completely..."

On the TV screen, almost every channel is occupied by news about Washington.

In the picture, the once prosperous and bustling Washington now looks like a dead ice city. The towering buildings are wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and the streets are covered in white. There is no trace of the hustle and bustle of the past. Only the biting cold wind is raging in the empty streets, blowing up gusts of ice chips.

The anchors described to the world the terrible situation the city is facing today in tones of shock or seriousness, and the scrolling subtitles at the bottom of the screen constantly updated various newly acquired fragmentary information. But even so, people are still confused about what exactly happened in Washington, and are full of doubts and speculations.

Those forces in the United States that usually do not get along with the government and are waiting to see the joke are now gloating, standing by and watching, waiting to see how this drama will continue to develop.

Countries that are hostile to the United States have seen opportunities and are ready to make moves. Some have begun to make indirect attacks in international public opinion, mocking the United States' current predicament.

Some secretly adjusted their military deployments, preparing to take actions that would be beneficial to them at the right time, trying to gain more benefits from this chaos.

The situation in the United States was in chaos at this time. The current situation of Washington being frozen caused the entire country's operating mechanism to be paralyzed in an instant.

Whether it is the White House, which symbolizes the highest power, or the Congress that formulates various policies and regulations on a daily basis, or even the Pentagon that controls the military power, no news can be transmitted at this moment, and contact with the outside world is almost completely cut off.

The two parties, which already had many contradictions, are now in a chaotic situation of mutual accusations and endless quarrels, and no one can come up with an effective response plan.

The top military officials were also caught up in this sudden change. Trapped in Washington, they were unable to exercise any command role, leaving the army leaderless and in great chaos.

Faced with such a situation, no one knows what to do, nor does anyone know how to deal with this terrible situation that is completely beyond our cognition.

Serious disagreements arose within the military. Some advocated marching the army directly into Washington, hoping to resolve the issue with force. They believed that relying on a strong military force might be able to deter Weiss.

Others felt that when facing such a powerful Weiss who possessed god-like powers, peace talks were the wiser choice.

After all, being able to freeze an entire state as large as Washington is definitely not something human can do; it's a power only possessed by the legendary gods.
The rash use of force is likely to lead to even more dire consequences.

The entire United States is like a giant ship that has lost its helmsman in the storm and huge waves, and is slowly and precariously heading towards an unknown abyss.
