The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

"Many people are criticizing us, saying we don't respect human rights and that we humiliate prisoners of war."

Lin Weiguo's voice was deep, yet possessed the weight of suppressing ocean waves, "Since you all like reasoning so much, then I'll reason with you today."

"Drone, zoom in! Let the 'civilized people' of the West see what these so-called 'gentlemen' were really up to!"

At his command, the live stream instantly switched.

The camera pans across the chaotic deck of the Poseidon, flying directly to the rear of the fleet, and finally hovering beside the giant research vessel "Prometheus".

At that moment, the world's audience held their breath for a split second.

A colossal tungsten alloy pillar, hundreds of meters long, entirely black, and crackling with eerie blue electric arcs, hovered less than half a meter above the sea surface. Although forcibly slowed to a state almost imperceptible to the naked eye by "Yunmengze," it still maintained its ferocious downward thrusting posture. The sense of destructive kinetic energy, as if about to tear apart the earth's crust, was suffocating even through the screen.

"Professor Wang, give them a lesson." Lin Weiguo stepped aside to make room for them.

"Hello everyone, I am a researcher at the Longxia Academy of Sciences. I came to the warship to study Longya Island, but I didn't expect so many things to happen."

A specially appointed expert with gray hair and thick-rimmed glasses stepped in front of the camera. He looked serious, first introducing himself, then pointing to the large probe and comparing it to the data on the tablet:

"This thing is technically called the Earth's crust resonance environment modification device, and its military code name is 'God's Hammer'."

"Its original design intent was to use high-frequency vibrations to crush hard rock layers in the deep sea for resource extraction. But—"

Professor Wang paused for a moment, then looked up, his eyes filled with anger.

"This is the Longya Island fault zone, the weakest point where the Eurasian and Pacific plates meet. If this probe penetrates according to the predetermined procedure and initiates oscillations..."

"According to our model calculations, in just thirty seconds! In just thirty seconds, the already fragile seabed rock will collapse on a massive scale. The resulting geological shockwave will create a super tsunami with an initial height exceeding 120 meters!"

"Please note, it's 120 meters! That's equivalent to a forty-story building!"

Professor Wang's voice trembled: "This tsunami won't just hit Longya Island. It will spread outwards at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour. The coastal cities of southeastern Longxia, northern Yue, western Philippines... all these areas will be razed to the ground within half an hour."

He looked at the camera and said, enunciating each word clearly, "The death toll is estimated to exceed one hundred million. Among them are people from Longxia, as well as Vietnamese and Filipinos. Even all the fishermen in these waters will perish!"

The scene cuts back to Lin Weiguo.

The old general's facial muscles twitched as he pointed at George, who was bound like a dumpling in the distance, his voice booming like thunder:

"Did you understand?!"

"This is what you call 'freedom of navigation'? This is what you call the 'civilized world'? This is genocide! This is a crime against humanity!"

"If our defenses hadn't been effective, this ocean would be a living hell by now! You bastards sitting in your air-conditioned rooms typing away at your keyboards and shouting 'human rights,' every single one of you is an accomplice!"

"Compared to the lives of fifty million people, is it too much for me to just have these few inhuman murderers tied up?!"

silence.

The global internet has fallen into an unprecedented silence.

The Western media, who had been clamoring just moments before, were now stunned, as if their throats had been suddenly choked. The giant probe suspended above the sea was like a nail piercing their eyes, rendering all their explanations pale, powerless, and nauseating.

If previous actions could be disguised as "military friction," now that the truth has been laid bare, everyone has finally woken up.

This is not a military conflict.

This was a deliberately perpetrated massacre.

Vietnamese and Filipino netizens, who had previously been following the lead of the United States and cheering for its leaders, now felt a chill run down their spines and were drenched in cold sweat.

That was a 120-meter-high tsunami!

If it happens, their homes, their families, their cities—everything will be wiped out. And their allies, who claimed to protect them, are actually planning to drag them down with them?

Anger instantly turned against them.

[A madman! George is a complete madman!]

The Eagle Federation wants to kill us all! Is this what allies are? Is this the result we get after paying protection money?

[To hell with human rights! Kill that bastard! Throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!]

Thank you, Longxia... God, I can't believe I'm thanking Longxia, but they really saved our lives.

Public opinion shifted dramatically in an instant. Long Xia no longer needed to explain; the probe was the irrefutable evidence, directly sealing the Eagle Federation's fate and leaving no room for argument.

……

On the deck of the Poseidon.

Although George, who was stuffed into a specially made cage, could not move his body, he could see the live broadcast and hear Lin Weiguo's roar.

In an instant, his face turned ashen.

It’s over.

It's completely over.

Even though his body was in a "sculpted" state, George's inner world had completely collapsed. He knew that even if he managed to return alive, what awaited him would not be flowers and applause, but the gallows of a military court.

The family's honor and his personal future were both ruined.

For a moment, he was filled with fear and resentment.

however.

Just as Long Xia had taken control of all the ships and shut down the giant probe.

Just as Lin Weiguo was preparing to order everyone to be escorted back to Hong Kong to put an end to this farce.

A sudden change occurred.

"Buzz—!!"

A deep, muffled buzzing sound suddenly came from underground.

The once calm sea surface suddenly rippled violently, like boiling water.

"What's going on? An earthquake?" Lin Weiguo's expression changed, and he grabbed the railing.

"Report! Extremely high energy levels detected at the center of Dragon Tooth Island!" the radar operator's urgent voice came through. "This is bad, it seems like something's about to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a blinding blood-red beam of light blasted through the surface of Dragon Tooth Island and shot straight into the sky.

The red light was so intense that it even overshadowed the midday sun, turning the entire sea into a chilling blood-red hue.

Even though the pure energy surge originating from deep within the Earth's crust has been slowed down by the Yunmengze Marsh, it is still expanding in an unstoppable manner.

Even Su Yun, working behind the scenes, didn't expect that what was buried beneath Dragon Tooth Island would awaken prematurely for unknown reasons at this critical juncture.

In the cage.

George, who had been plunged into despair, changed his expression the instant the red light shone on his face.

In this world of 0.01x speed, the corners of his mouth began to slowly, bit by bit, curve upwards.

He is laughing.

Although every millimeter of movement felt like stretching stiff rubber, he was indeed smiling.

That smile was twisted and ferocious, like a demon from hell.

The fear that had been in his eyes vanished, replaced by madness and ecstasy.

He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that the thing he most wanted to see had happened—the world was destroyed!

Now, let's all die together.

Nobody can escape.

Only death is truly fair.

boom--!!!

As the maniacal smile froze on his face, a massive mushroom cloud, like a red supernova exploding on the Earth's surface, hurtled towards the Poseidon and Zhenhai, which were just inches away, from the direction of Dragon Tooth Island.

The live stream screen instantly turned into a blinding red-blindness.

Signal, interruption.
