I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"We respect Brahma for being a hero, and our Western Sea Federation can even relinquish absolute dominance in the future 'Human Federation,' with the Dragon Kingdom at the forefront."

"This is nothing. In the martial arts world, the strong are respected."

Arthur suddenly changed the subject, his eyes flashing with an extremely sharp light.

"However, no matter how strong Shen Tian is, he has just experienced a life-or-death battle that transcended his cultivation level within the ruins!"

"That level of clash between ultimate beings completely sank even the Ruins Continent! I refuse to believe it didn't cause enormous losses!"

Arthur strode to the French windows and stood side by side with Augustus.

As a seasoned marshal, he possessed an incredibly sharp strategic vision. Even when faced with Shen Tian's astonishing power, he remained calm and analyzed the underlying logic of the battle.

"Even if they possess that kind of abnormal regenerative ability."

"They came straight in after the battle had just ended, without even having time to rest."

"He actually boasted that he would defeat us in one move?"

Arthur gave a cold laugh, and the dark blue water vapor around his body contracted sharply, causing the surrounding air pressure to drop drastically.

"If you can withstand one move without being defeated, or retreat no more than ten meters..."

"His move is a gross underestimation of us old bones who've lived for over a hundred years!"

As the top leaders of the human race, they were never some naive fools who had never seen the world.

They were able to establish the Western Sea Federation amidst bloodshed and turmoil; each and every one of them possessed terrifyingly profound knowledge and experience!

Even if he couldn't defeat Shen Tian, ​​who had returned from the brink of godhood, in a one-on-one fight, if he only had to withstand one blow in a direct confrontation...

They have absolute self-confidence and dignity!

Hearing Arthur's insightful and powerful analysis, Solomon nodded slowly.

"Marshal Arthur is right."

Solomon rose from his seat, and behind him, a semi-transparent fortress, several kilometers in size, faintly appeared.

"Playing a dozen or so high-intensity exchanges in a row is completely different from merely gathering your strength to exchange a single blow."

"At the ninth rank, who doesn't possess several ultimate killing techniques forged with their life on the line?"

"This kid wants to use a simple 'one move' to trample the three of us pillars of the West Sea underfoot, completely break down our mental defenses, and complete his ambition to unify all of humanity..."

"The idea is excellent, but putting it into practice is not so easy!"

Throughout the hall, three different types of ninth-order laws intertwined and clashed in the air.

The three top leaders of the Western Sea Federation simultaneously exuded an unassailable and domineering aura.

They knew that Shen Tian was no ordinary person.

They are also willing to compromise in this upcoming "federal era".

but!

Before sitting down at the negotiating table in this era, they must demonstrate the strength and backbone that match their underlying character!

Defeated in one move?

Even when facing Ouyang Qianjue, the former pillar of the Dragon Kingdom.

These great figures, who have dedicated almost their entire lives to the cause of humanity, certainly do not consider themselves to be a piece of paper that can be easily torn apart!

"Come on then."

Augustus slowly withdrew his gaze, the deep light in his eyes gradually condensing into a sharp blade.

He adjusted the marshal's medal on his chest.

As the leader of the Big Three, he knew better than anyone that this battle was not just about his personal reputation.

More importantly, it concerns the entire Western Sea Federation: whether it can maintain its basic dignity in the future unified "Human Federation"!

Confident! And extremely rational!

This is the true peak power of the human race on Blue Star, definitely not some petty scoundrel who would be terrified at the mere mention of their name!

Above the endless sea, 100,000 meters in the air.

A visible ripple slowly spread outwards.

The space parted like ripples on water, and a tall, slender figure in black stepped out from it.

It was Shen Tian, ​​who had just made those bold remarks in a live broadcast to the world!

Shen Tian stood quietly tens of thousands of meters in the air.

He did not unleash any powerful pressure.

Instead, it perfectly contained all its violent power within its body.

After all, he just said that he came with the purpose of "friendly exchange".

Since it is a junior visiting a senior, at least basic courtesy should be observed.

Without his master's permission, he did not tear through space to forcibly enter the interior of the Sea God's Capital.

Instead, they remained outside the airspace of the defense zone as a sign of respect.

Shen Tian lowered his head slightly, looking down at the scene below.

In his eyes, which shimmered with a faint golden light, the entire sea god was laid bare.

This is an incredibly magnificent city of miracles.

On the vast, endless deep blue sea, tens of thousands of massive steel floating islands are closely connected by robust mechanical bridges and tracks.

Each floating island is topped with towering metal towers that pierce the clouds and a dense array of cannon barrels.

Countless energy shields, shimmering with blue light, intertwined to form a massive defensive network above the city.

Like a steel behemoth lurking in the deep sea, it exudes a cold and powerful industrial aesthetic.

This is the foundation upon which the Western Sea Federation relies for its survival.

At the same time that Shen Tian appeared.

"Ugh—!!!"

The entire steel city seemed to come alive in an instant.

However, not a single defensive missile was launched, nor was any main gun fired.

in contrast.

It was accompanied by a low-frequency "buzzing" vibration.

Thousands upon thousands of miniature live-streaming drones, flashing red lights, soared into the sky from every corner of Poseidon City.

They were like a swarm of wasps, quickly flying to the high-altitude area where Shen Tian was.

It hovered steadily at a safe distance of several thousand meters from Shen Tian.

Tens of thousands of high-definition cameras, from every angle, were all aimed at the black-clad youth in the air.

then.

The global live stream room, which had just gone black, lit up again.

Shen Tian's calm and handsome face once again appeared clearly on the screens of billions of people across the entire planet.

The whole world was in an uproar at that moment!

"Holy crap!! Only a few minutes have passed!"

"Traversing half of Earth in an instant? Is this the speed of the fastest person on Earth?!"

"He actually went to challenge them! And the first one he chose was the toughest nut to crack—the Western Sea Federation!"

"How gentlemanly! Look at Shen Shen, he didn't force his way in at all, but stopped in mid-air!"

"This is called 'courtesy first, then force,' you know? Once we start fighting, it'll be a completely different story!"

The online comments scrolled wildly like snowflakes.

high in the air.

Shen Tian looked at the densely packed drones around him.

That deceptively innocent smile reappeared on his face.

He raised his hand and waved very politely at the cameras.

It's like a sunny, cheerful young man on a trip, taking photos and creating lasting memories.
