Fate's Choice: Livestream at the Start Summoning Billions of Ravens

On the other side, mirroring Tokyo, in Ota Ward, is the temporary base of the Chinese advance force.

Inside the specially modified "Warrior" armored command vehicle, Jiang Ming Mirror No. 1 was idly playing with a tactical pen in his hand.

To outsiders, the young special advisor appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, contemplating strategies for dealing with the crisis.

But in reality, he was furiously criticizing the "big news" that his main body had just created.

"Abyss invasion? Heroes slaying dragons?"

Jiang Mingjing Mirror Number One rolled his eyes inwardly. If he didn't have to maintain his aloof persona, he would have jumped up and pointed at his original body, cursing at it.

"Is the original guy trying to make this game chaotic enough? That's the Abyss! If he messes things up and can't protect the mirror world, he'll really be shooting himself in the foot."

As a creation with 10,000 emotion points, although it has been enhanced to the level of millions and possesses extraordinary abilities that are enough to make it stand out from the crowd, it is still essentially the "fun person" who hopes to lie down and earn emotion points.

"With the current configuration, can we really hold on?"

Jiang Mingjing Mirror Number One quickly calculated the combat strength of his side in his mind.

Joan of Arc, the savior, was indeed ridiculously powerful; she was a special weapon designed specifically to target "beasts."

Newton, the old man, is a human-shaped cheat code for the laws of physics. As long as he doesn't encounter anything too idealistic, he can basically go toe-to-toe with anyone.

Li Bai, a conceptual god, once destroyed America's national fortune with a single finger; his output is definitely impressive.

As for Funina... Jiang Ming Mirror No. 1 shook his head helplessly. A mascot is also part of the combat power, at least it can provide some emotional value, right?

"Three against one, it looks like a luxurious lineup, but the opponent is an endless abyss... It's best if the main body has some hidden tricks up its sleeve, otherwise, relying on these few alone, we're afraid we'll be worn down and killed here."

Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps broke the silence in the carriage.

The car door was pushed open.

Jiang Mingjing frowned slightly as he opened his eyes, only to find that the person standing at the door was not an ordinary messenger, but the highest commander of the Chinese vanguard team—the lieutenant colonel who was usually unfazed even in the face of a collapsing mountain.

At this moment, a rare hint of... fanaticism appeared on the face of this tough soldier.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Mingjing sat up straight, tactilely twirling the tactical pen between his fingers before stopping it steadily. "If you're thinking that the black ball has gotten bigger again, or that some country's troops have wet their pants in fear, then you don't need to report it. I already know."

"No, Consultant Jiang."

The lieutenant colonel strode up to Jiang Ming and handed him a newly declassified, urgent red document with both hands.

The cover of the document prominently displays the national emblems of five countries.

Beneath those five badges was a striking line of gold lettering: "Supreme Resolution on the Establishment of the Command of the Joint Expeditionary Force of the Five Nations of the Mirror World".

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow, took the document, and casually flipped through it.

"Given the uncontrollable nature of the 'Abyss' threat and the complete paralysis of modern communication methods, the five permanent members of the Security Council reached an agreement ten minutes ago."

"They decided to abolish the independent command authority of each country and reorganize all armed forces that entered the mirror world into the 'Human United Expeditionary Force'."

"Oh? That's interesting."

Jiang Mingjing nodded; this was indeed the most rational choice under such dire circumstances.

"So, who is the commander-in-chief?"

The lieutenant colonel did not answer immediately.

The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Then, the lieutenant colonel stepped back, put his feet together, and saluted Jiang Ming.

"Advisor Jiang!"

"By unanimously approved by the joint meeting of the top leaders and defense ministers of the five nations, not counting abstentions... in short, the first Commander-in-Chief of the 'Human United Expeditionary Force' is now..."

"It's you."

pat.

The tactical pen that Jiang Ming was spinning rapidly in his hand fell to the ground.

For the first time, a look of utter bewilderment appeared on his face, a face that had always remained calm even when facing Madara Uchiha.

"Who?" He pointed to his nose, his voice rising an octave. "Me?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief Jiang." The lieutenant colonel changed his words with perfect smoothness. "The letter of appointment jointly signed by the five countries is on the last page of the document. From this moment on, every soldier, every blade of grass in the mirror world, and even those few tactical nuclear bombs that were secretly brought in, will be under your command. There will be a continuous stream of support coming in the future."

Jiang Mingjing picked up the pen from the ground and quickly flipped to the end of the document.

really.

At the end of those densely packed terms, beneath five bright red seals, his name was clearly written—Jiang Ming.

The reason given was written in a grand and respectable manner: In view of Mr. Jiang Ming's outstanding performance in handling supernatural events, and as the only human individual capable of effectively communicating with "supernatural forces," he is hereby appointed...

Jiang Ming's mirror image number one quickly realized what was happening.

What outstanding performance, what effective communication—it's all bullshit.

There is only one truth: these politicians who hold the highest power on Earth are completely terrified by that "Eye of the Abyss".

Moreover, there is another advantage to putting yourself in this position.

That's taking the blame.

They won; it's a victory for all humanity, a testament to their excellent leadership.

We lost? Then sorry, it's all because of the incompetence of this commander-in-chief named Jiang Ming. You could even call him an "extraordinary spy." Let's all shift the blame and save ourselves from the loss of our friends.

"That's... quite the scheme."

Jiang Ming closed the file, a playful smile curving his lips.

He wasn't angry.

On the contrary, he suddenly found it quite interesting.

The true self is the creator in the heavens, writing scripts and staging grand dramas.

This clone of himself acts as the Grand Marshal on Earth, leading the allied forces of five nations and assisting his main body.

This is quite a grand display.

"Advisor... no, Commander." The lieutenant colonel, seeing Jiang Ming remain silent for so long, felt a little uneasy. "The liaison officers from other countries are already waiting outside. Although they don't look too good, they brought quite a bit of equipment. What do you think..."

"Since they've shifted the blame onto me, wouldn't it make me seem unreasonable if I didn't take it?"

Jiang Mingjing stood up, opened the car door, and stepped out.

On the plaza, the soldiers from different countries, who had previously been clearly separated, all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at this side.

There was doubt, disdain, curiosity, and fear.

Jiang Ming ignored those gazes.

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

His voice wasn't loud, but with the blessing of the [Voice of the Mind], it resonated directly in the minds of everyone present.

No translation or radio is needed.

This is the authority of the extraordinary.

The commotion below subsided instantly, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire arena.

"First, immediately establish a joint command center centered on this location."

Jiang Ming's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"Second, all troops should abandon their existing independent defense zones and reorganize themselves by moving towards the command post in combat groups."

Jiang Ming paused, his gaze sweeping over the liaison officers from other countries.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

"arrive!"

"Notify all officers of company rank and above that a meeting will be held in twenty minutes. Anyone who is late will be subject to military law."

"yes!"

After giving the order, Jiang Ming's Mirror Image No. 1 let out a long breath.

"Original body, you'd better step up your game. I've already taken over this mess. If you mess it up in the end, we'll really be back to square one."
