Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 97 Meeting

On the afternoon of February 1st, in the conference room on the top floor of the Ares Palace.

At this moment, more than sixty planetary-level councilors dressed in golden robes and even more war god-level powerhouses dressed in white robes had gathered in the conference room.

Moreover, among the people dressed in white robes were some leaders from the five major powers and the other 23 base cities who were not the God of War.

Among these leaders, those who are not the God of War usually have no right to enter the God of War Palace, but today, they have all received special authorization.

Since the Great Nirvana, humanity has been engaged in a struggle for survival with countless monsters. This has nothing to do with right or wrong; it's simply a matter of the continuation of the race—it's a matter of life or death.

Among humans are top-tier beings surpassing the level of war gods, while on the monster side there are also king-level monsters; among humans are top-tier powerhouses like Hong and Lei Shen, while on the monster side there are two great monster emperors, the Octopus Beast Emperor and the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Humans have never had any way to kill these two Beast Kings, so they have had no choice but to compromise with the monsters.

And now, someone actually said that they wanted to get rid of these two monster kings, especially since the one who said this was Yang Wu, the new world's strongest man who had already killed a king-level monster.

This news shocked, excited, and thrilled countless high-ranking officials around the world.

Upon receiving this news, everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed into the Palace of the God of War.

In less than half an hour, apart from a few War Gods who were at the forefront of resisting the beast tide, all the other War Gods, councilors, and representatives of various forces appeared in the top-floor conference room of the War God Palace.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Yang Wu stood up and walked towards the high platform in front of them.

Suddenly, the entire conference room became incredibly quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared intently at Yang Wu, who was standing on the high platform.

"Gentlemen!"

Yang Wu's expression was very serious as he said loudly, "After the battle of Kirishima, the number of human councilors has increased significantly. In just one month, the number of human councilors has grown from 57 to 86!"

"In my opinion, the number of strong individuals among humanity will continue to increase in the future. After all, we obtained far more than just these kinds of Mokuya Crystals on Kirishima!"

"But do you think this will eliminate the crisis facing humanity?"

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that the human crisis is far from over!"

"The number of King-level monsters on land far exceeds the number of our human councilors. And the number of King-level monsters in the ocean is more than ten times the number of our human councilors!"

"The reason why King-level monsters and humans are currently at peace is entirely because the strength of the top experts on both sides is roughly equal, and our human war bases are equipped with a large number of laser cannons!"

The high-ranking officials from Earth present understood what Yang Wu was saying, but they still listened attentively.

"However!" Yang Wu said seriously, "According to some records in the ancient civilization's ruins, above the planetary level lies the even more terrifying constant level. While the two beast kings in the sea are currently only at the sixth and seventh tiers of the planetary level, who can guarantee that these are the only two beast kings in the endless sea? If even one monster breaks through to the constant level, this balance between us and the monsters will be broken!"

"Our laser cannons are utterly incapable of threatening a star-level monster. When that happens, humanity will face annihilation!"

"Moreover, the monsters in the ocean are endless, and we have no way of knowing whether a third or fourth Beast King exists in the sea..."

"We humans can only nip danger in the bud by taking proactive measures!"

As soon as Yang Wu finished speaking, the expressions of many people in the conference hall changed.

How long has it been since there was a large-scale conflict between humans and monsters?

Since the Great Nirvana, the most severe losses suffered by both humans and monsters were when Yang Wu killed Fifth Speaker Atkin and the other five King-level monsters.

Both sides' losses were caused by Yang Wu!

The human side lost a powerful Fifth Chairman, while the monster side lost a planetary-level Tier 3 monster leader.

But what did Yang Wu just say?

Take the initiative!

If this plan passes at the Ares Palace, it will once again ignite a full-scale war between humans and monsters!

If the person who said those words wasn't Yang Wu, who had killed a royal-level monster, everyone in the conference hall would have thought he was crazy.

But since Yang Wu said those words, everyone had to consider the feasibility of the plan!

"Fifth Speaker!" Standing at the forefront of the crowd, the "Ice Emperor" of the United States, Mohandson, bowed slightly and respectfully asked, "Do you already possess the strength to slay the two great beast kings of the sea?"

In Mohanderson's view, since Yang Wu was able to kill the "tentacle monster" on Mist Island, he should also be able to eliminate the "Octopus King" and "Thunder Dragon King" in the sea.

If Yang Wu can kill the two Beast Kings, then with the current strength of humanity, even if facing all other King-level monsters, we will not be without the power to fight.

After all, humans have the assistance of laser cannons.

"I'm not sure either!" Yang Wu said. "If the two Beast Kings don't run away, I should have a chance to kill them. However, if they are determined to escape, given the terrifying size of the sea and the large number of low-level monsters blocking their way, my chances of killing them are very small. But if the few of us join forces, killing the Beast Kings will be much easier!"

"Gentlemen!"

Hong, who had been standing to the side, finally spoke up, saying confidently, "Lei Shen and I fully agree with Yang Wu's decision. With the combined strength of the three of us, we can easily kill any Beast King, even in the sea. Even if two Beast Kings join forces, we still have a chance to kill them."

Previously, Hong would not have had such confidence.

However, in the past few years, he and Thor first obtained part of the "289 Basic Martial Arts Techniques" manual, which more than doubled their strength. Moreover, he later obtained a precious Cloud Vine and an even more precious Meteorite Star inheritance.

His rapid increase in strength gave him more confidence to kill the Beast King.

At the same time, he also felt that Yang Wu was right.

If a Beast King were to actually break through to the Eternal Star level, it would become an even bigger problem. It would be better to deal with the opponent now.

After listening to Yang Wu and Hong's words, the many powerful figures in the conference hall began to consider the possibility of the plan.

They all knew what the success of the plan would mean—humanity would completely defeat the monsters! But they also knew the consequences of the plan's failure: the two Emperor-level monsters would be enraged and unleash an enormous monster tide.

They discussed it for quite a while.

Many leaders did not actually agree with Yang Wu's risky plan, but as the three most powerful people on Earth, Yang Wu and his two companions' opinions were crucial.

Moreover, even if everyone disagrees with the plan, Yang Wu and his two companions can still take action against the Beast King. Therefore, it's better to agree to the plan directly so that the major base cities can prepare in advance.

Finally, with the five major powers and the HR Alliance agreeing to Yang Wu's plan, everyone else followed suit.

Next, according to Yang Wu's plan, they began to mobilize a large amount of resources from various forces.

The two major martial arts schools, the five major powers, the HR alliance, and other forces and base cities of all sizes were assigned various reconnaissance missions.

The plan is divided into three phases.

Phase 1: Explore the land and sea, and mark the locations of some king-level monsters with large energy fluctuations.

Phase Two: Destroy these powerful King-level monsters and the two Monster Emperors with all our might.

Phase Three: Eradicate all King-level and Lord-level monsters on Earth!

The first phase of the plan was Yang Wu's objective.

Yang Wu believed that, with the investigations of countless human forces, the already born Golden Horned Beast had nowhere to hide.

The moment he discovers the Golden Horned Beast will be the perfect opportunity to make his move.
