Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

A beam of light shot out from the tank's cannon, tracing a path before landing precisely on the outline of a distant mountain range.

The ridge looked as if it had been pinched in the middle by an invisible hand.

First it shattered. Then it collapsed.

Smoke and dust billowed up from the center of the mountain, like a gray cloud being suddenly squeezed out of the ground, churning and spreading upwards.

The scene was silent for a full three seconds.

Then, the noise exploded like hay that had been set ablaze.

What is that?

"Is that a giant earth beast?"

"What kind of earth beast can launch such an attack so casually? Even if you sent Arabi, could he handle it?"

"Why does this feel like Aigle's Lightning Punishment?"

"My dear Eger! What is this?!"

Some diplomats stood up, some remained seated but leaned forward, and some stared with their mouths open at the distant, collapsing mountain range, as if trying to confirm that what they were seeing was real.

When a wine glass was knocked over, no one bent down to pick it up; when fruit rolled off the fruit platter and fell to the ground, no one bent down to pick it up.

All eyes shifted back and forth between the dust-shrouded mountain ridge and the silver-gray tank.

Lin Si stood beside the tank, watching their reactions, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

He didn't have time to waste with these people, so he directly showed off some of his "skills".

After that, he will talk and they will listen.

Even if they had objections, they didn't dare to refute them too vehemently. This kind of thing was beyond their imagination. What they were thinking about now was "to bring the message back alive," not "to have a fight with Caesar on the spot."

He waited a few seconds until the noise subsided slightly before speaking.

"Gentlemen,"

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the scene.

“I know you may have different attitudes toward the Fire Chasing Journey.”

He paused, his gaze shifting from one face to another.

"But what I want to say is,"

He gestured towards the energy weapons.

"The journey of chasing fire will not end because of your opposition. I can still produce many more weapons like this."

"The quantity is absolutely beyond your imagination."

He spoke very calmly.

It's like stating a fact.

The words had barely left his lips when, like a pebble thrown into a pond, the surface of the water immediately erupted in chaos.

Caesar's words were anything but polite.

Because this sentence means:

"Caesar didn't take them seriously at all!"

A representative in a dark robe stood up abruptly, knocking over the chair behind him. His voice carried an urgent tone of offense.

"Caesar! I greet you on behalf of Dolores!"

He took a deep breath, as if suppressing some emotion.

"Is the prophecy of the goddess Tirithippus true?"

How can we trust you then?

As soon as he finished speaking, another representative next to him stood up, his voice deeper than his, conveying a sense of "I must ask clearly".

"Caesar, on behalf of Icaria, I salute you!"

"The world has been in turmoil for a century. Do you intend to start a war that will sweep across the entire continent of Onphalus?"

His words immediately put the atmosphere in an even more somber mood.

“Caesar..…”

"Caesar..."

Several more people stood up, their voices rising and falling, some questioning, some doubting, and some trying to use "reason" to control the direction of the conversation.

Aglaia stood not far behind Lin Si, her brows furrowing slightly. She took half a step forward, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

But Hathaway reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Aglaia glanced at her sideways, but Hazel didn't turn her head, her gaze remaining fixed ahead, and she only uttered a soft sentence.

"Trust Caesar."

Aglaia paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and withdrew her steps.

Lin Si listened to the questions without any change in expression.

He waited until they finished speaking before he spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but the weight of "I'm waiting for you to quiet down" naturally calmed the noise down.

“If that’s your understanding,”

He tilted his head slightly.

That's how it is.

“Ohma is fully capable of starting a war that will sweep across the entire Ompharos.”

He paused, as if giving the words enough weight.

"But the name of this war is a journey to fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted again.

"Absolutely absurd!"

"Even if you reside in the Holy City, how dare you oppose the entire Onfaros?"

"You're basically..."

A figure dressed in a dark red robe stood up from his seat, his voice drowning out everyone else.

He stood behind a table on the Senate side, his hands resting on the tabletop, his body leaning slightly forward.

"Gentlemen!"

His voice carried a calm, "I'll mediate" quality.

"Caesar just attended a banquet and may be a little drunk. Please forgive him."

Lin Si's gaze fell on his face. Then she looked at the 'sign' on their table.

'Ohma Senate'

He shook his head slightly; the Senate really did have ulterior motives.

Their coming forward to say this at this time proves that they are constantly 'watching' Caesar's movements.

And because Caesar had previously arranged for Aglaia to meet with these diplomats while he himself was attending a banquet?

What would these city-state representatives think?

He was waiting for an opportunity for "Caesar to make a mistake".

Upon hearing these words, the city-state representatives' expressions shifted from anger to subtle suspicion.

It's confirmed!

Caesar certainly didn't take them seriously.

The fact that she went to the banquet herself and left Jin Zhijue to deal with them speaks volumes about her attitude toward the meeting.

Now she's out, carrying these weapons, saying things like "Your opposition is useless," and then the Senate says she's drunk...

"The benevolent Caesar?"

One of the representatives' voices was sarcastic.

"I think it's Caesar who's gone mad!"

Deep down, Crydela watched this scene with a vengeance that seethed with rage.

"How could I have accepted your peaceful surrender back then?"

These city-states themselves sent representatives to negotiate terms, expressing their willingness to submit and saying, "We believe in the benevolent Caesar."

And this is the attitude of the diplomats they've sent?

Questioning, sarcasm, and the instigation of the Senate.

She felt that after this incident, once the Demon King was gone, she had to let these city-states know what Caesar's "benevolence" was.

"And the Senate, I haven't laid a hand on you all these years,"

"Have you forgotten Caesar's majesty?"

Lin Si had no idea what she was thinking.

He watched the diplomats raise their questions one after another, and saw the senator still standing by the table with an attitude of "I'll mediate," his expression unchanged.

He walked over to the energy tank, raised his hand and patted the tank's armor, making a few dull "bang" sounds.

The sound was not loud, but in this noise, it was like a new rhythm.

The sounds gradually quieted down.

“Ohma possesses power that rivals that of the entire Onpharos.”

He glanced around at the standing representatives.

"There's no point in questioning this."

"That is a fact."

Upon hearing this, some of the representatives opened their mouths as if they wanted to refute it.

Someone had already raised their hand, ready to point at him, as if to continue pressuring him with the reason that "you are going to be an enemy of Allon Faros".

But Lin Si didn't give them a chance to speak.

He lowered his hand from the tank, turned around, and faced all of them. His voice was a little lower than before, but the weight of "I'm saying something very important" made every word clear and audible.

"Gentlemen."

He paused for a moment.

"Why not try looking at it from a different perspective?"

“Ohmah possesses a large number of these weapons that can shatter mountains with a single blow.”

"Possesses power comparable to that of the entire Onpharos."

His gaze swept across the faces of the diplomats.

"Could it be that there's something there too, something that could affect the entire Onfaros...?"

"What about the power to restore all light?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present, including Aglaia and Hazel, held their breath for a moment.

Chapter 334 Faith Upgrade

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely subtle at that moment.

"To restore light to the entirety of Onfaros?"

Someone murmured something unconsciously, in a very soft voice, as if talking to themselves.

But in that deathly silence, those words reached everyone's ears clearly.

Then, like a lit fuse, the scene erupted into chaos once again.
