I put monsters and super powers in America

"Alright alright!"

Suddenly, he grabbed his hair in self-deprecation, and said with some annoyance and resignation: "Although I am indeed very handsome, I still have to thank Her Majesty the Queen for that kick."

"Of course, the most important thing was the interference from our great Master. I could even sense Leviathan's frustration at that moment."

"Yeah," Tifa nodded. "I've fought Leviathan in close combat. I know his terrifying power and the terrifying, oppressive feeling he gives people..."

"It's definitely an oversized opponent!"

"If Jingxue hadn't brought the main dragon to the top of Leviathan, and the main dragon hadn't been constantly interfering at the expense of my life, I definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on for that long."

"You..." She looked at Jingxue and the Lord Dragon, "You are so brave!"

"We should all be thankful to have survived this time." She looked at the dragon master, her bright eyes, always gleaming with sunshine, revealing an unconcealable fear. "Without a doubt, the MVP this time is definitely the dragon master."

"The second is Jingxue, who bravely carried the main dragon and circled around Leviathan."

"Without them, we wouldn't have been able to withstand Leviathan's water curtain attack."

Jingxue, the quiet Indian girl, blushed at the praise.

The main dragon pretended to be a little weak and waved his hands, looking like he had kidney deficiency and didn't even have the strength to speak.

When everyone saw the main dragon like this, there was a little more respect in their eyes.

"Alright," Aaron stood up first, "our hero needs to rest, let's go out first."

"Come on, champ, get some sleep."

Louis ran over and put his arm around Aaron, wanting to go to the bar with him for a drink, but Aaron pushed him away with some disgust.

Tifa and Jingxue said goodbye to the main dragon gently and left the room.

"call……"

“Hehe…hahaha…hahahahahaha…”

The master dragon finally didn't have to hold back his mouth anymore, as he was really upset just now.

He laughed out loud!

Not to mention the great harvest of his wishes, what he is looking forward to even more is the reaction and fermentation of public opinion.

This not only brings him a lot of fun, but also continues to generate huge amounts of wish power!

Sure enough, the news headline that had just been pushed on the mobile phone screen, like a depth bomb, attracted his interest.

"Come, let me see what people from all over the world think!"

The fermentation speed of the "new Pearl Harbor incident" is even faster than pouring boiling oil into a cup of ice water.

In just a few hours, this "drama of the century" performed by a deep-sea monster and several extraordinary vigilantes completely replaced all previous international news and became the sole and absolute focus of the global Internet.

The domestic public opinion field in the United States was directly ignited, and the intensity was comparable to a bloodless civil war.

The fuse soon appeared.

I don't know which powerful media outlet, or some Pentagon insider who had a change of heart (or simply wanted to stir up trouble), revealed a shocking piece of information - the so-called "absolutely clean 'directed energy weapons'" that the spokesman swore and boasted about at the White House press conference did not exist at all!

Not to mention a prototype, there isn't even a design drawing or a PPT!

It's pure fabrication on the spot!

Once this news came out, it was like adding fuel to the fire, throwing a piece of sizzling, freshly baked butter into the boiling pot of public opinion.

The Lord Dragon had never expected this to happen and was extremely surprised.

"No, I didn't direct this!"

"How dare you make up anything!"

"I originally thought that some directed energy weapon might have a prototype, or at least a PowerPoint presentation, but this thing doesn't even have a PowerPoint presentation!"

"How dare the White House make such a joke!"

There is a prototype, even if there is a PPT, even if it fails this time, it can still be explained by the instability of weapons in the experimental stage; many people can actually understand it, after all, it can be regarded as the opposite of "war fear" of "war apathy".

But it is a bit abstract and humorous to brag about something that is not even on the PPT.

Of course, there are also hard-washing media.

Fox News, the prime-time flagship program "The O'Reilly Time".

Inside the studio, the lights were bright, but the atmosphere was as cold as a morgue.

Host O'Reilly, a media veteran known for his aggressive questioning style and unwavering Mahajan stance, was now facing the camera, spitting profusely. His face, always tinged with a touch of sarcasm and arrogance, had turned a livid red with extreme anger, and the veins on the side of his neck were throbbing, as if ready to burst at any moment.

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his mouth was wide open from a roar, each of his back teeth clearly visible. Sweat trickled down his meticulously combed hair, reflecting a greasy light under the cold, strong studio light.

"A bunch of damned cowards who betrayed their country!" O'Reilly's face flushed red with anger. "Yes, I admit that the term 'directed energy weapons' may... may contain some small, well-intentioned exaggeration. But why? This is a war without the smoke of gunpowder! It is to confuse our enemy! It is to buy precious tactical space for our true trump card - our great 'vigilante' heroes! This is a necessary and brilliant strategic deception!"

"That's right! So what if we lied? To achieve victory, lying can be a tactic, it can also be a virtue! It's part of national strategy!"

He slammed the table and roared indignantly at the camera, "And now, some traitors hiding in the shadows, brainwashed by the liberals' 'political correctness,' are actually leaking top-secret information concerning national security just to attack our great president! This is nothing short of treason! This is treason! This is the new era of 'WikiLeaks!'"

"As for those so-called 'vigilantes,' who are they? They are still true American patriots! They are heroes with God-given powers who have emerged from the silent majority! I can even boldly speculate that they are the secret weapons that have been hidden in the hands of our great President, capable of turning the tide! They will only appear in the country's most critical moments, to restore order and defend our true traditional values! They are the hope of this country!"

Unlike the passionate and enthusiastic Fox News, the atmosphere in CNN's studio is more like a... calm academic dissection full of elitist superiority.

Cooper, the host, still had his signature expression of concern for the country and its people. His blue eyes, always tinged with melancholy, stared intently at the guest across from him.

"Professor Anderson, facing this 'epic' public relations disaster of the White House, what kind of irreversible damage do you think it will cause to the credibility of this administration?" Cooper's voice was steady and magnetic, and every pause was just right, full of thought-provoking charm.

The Harvard female professor opposite, Dr. Anderson, gracefully adjusted her unique black-framed glasses, with an undisguised, cold sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"Damage? Anderson, I think 'collapse' might be a more accurate word." Her voice was cold and sharp, like a scalpel, precisely slicing to the heart of the matter. "This incident exposes not only the government's incompetence in responding to extraordinary crises, but also a structural arrogance and deception deeply embedded in its governing logic."

"They attempt to monopolize the definition and narrative of 'supernormal', packaging it as a predictable 'technology' that can be controlled by the state apparatus. But reality has proven time and again that 'supernormal power' is more like a chaotic, wild, and uncertain natural phenomenon. It belongs to no one and obeys no one's orders."

"What's worse is that it is extremely powerful, making a mockery of our fleet that thought it was invincible."

"The maritime forces that maintain our hegemony are now crumbling under the threat of Leviathan. Their continued existence depends not on us, but on whether Leviathan is willing to do so!"

"All we can do now is pray that Leviathan has spread enough fire and will spare our poor navy!"

"What will other countries think of us? As a country that has become enemies with Leviathan, do we still have the ability to maintain world order and the right to freedom of navigation?!"

"The emergence of 'vigilantes' isn't a good thing. On the contrary, it's a powerful subversion of the 'nationalist narrative,'" Professor Anderson's eyes gleamed with wisdom. "They aren't controlled by any official institution, and their actions aren't aimed at upholding a particular political entity. Instead, they align themselves with simpler, more universal values: protecting innocent lives and opposing sheer destruction."

"This may seem noble and beneficial to society, but I want to remind everyone not to think that vigilantes are a supplement to our laws. Quite the contrary. This group of individuals, possessing unbridled power and operating outside of any laws or regulations, are using their own standards to determine what constitutes 'justice' in this world!"

"They are deconstructing our legal system!"

"Don't forget, this so-called 'vigilante group' also includes a fugitive murderer named Louis Mangione, who has been sentenced to death by the federal court!"

"But our federation can't do anything about it."

"On the one hand, the government's hard power in combating supernatural beings is stretched thin. On the other hand, its soft power, its ability to win public trust and moral appeal, is completely bankrupt. This is a classic sign that the ruling class has lost its 'Mandate of Heaven'."

The cyberspace of the Eastern superpower is even more lively.

65 (Part 2). There is always a way to win for Dad (Blade Extra)

The great Eastern country, cyberspace.

There are not so many arguments about ideologies and lines here. Instead, there are purer, more direct and more joyful "slapping in the face" and "whipping of corpses".

The answers and videos of those "national masters" and "reflection freaks" who previously advocated "the invincibility of the American empire", "surrender as soon as possible", and "it will be too late if you don't make up for it" were dug out from the corners of the Internet by countless angry and gloating netizens, and made into various emoticons and funny clips, which were circulated wildly on major platforms.

The anonymous answer, titled "Surrender, now is the time when the cost is lowest," has been marked as "Deleted for containing false information." However, screenshots of the comments section below have been preserved, revealing the mocking and sarcastic messages, like inscriptions carved on a pillar of shame.

"Is the boss still here? Should I sell my house for US dollars, or buy the dip in US stocks and profit from the market makers? Waiting online, this is urgent!"

"I'm really crying! After listening to you, I sold all my stocks yesterday, and today they all hit their daily limit! Could you, with your profound strategic vision, help me reimburse my losses?"

Of course, amidst the carnival, there are also some "experts" who try to use a more unique angle to prove that "even if the American daddy suffers a defeat, he is still your daddy."

"Thanks for the invitation. I find that many people have fallen into a misconception, that is, equating 'hunting failure' with 'strategic failure'. This is totally wrong!" A new anonymous answerer began his "performance" with an attitude of being the only sober person among the drunken ones.

"Do you think those people in the Pentagon and the White House are all fools? Are they really so naive as to think that a mere tactical nuclear bomb can kill a mythical creature? Stop it!"

"This entire thing, from beginning to end, was a meticulously orchestrated spectacle designed to showcase their 'tolerance' and 'resilience' to the world! They deliberately used a seemingly 'failed' operation to tell the world—look, even if our strongest weapons are ineffective against it, even if it evolves even stronger, we still have a way to drive it away with our brave 'vigilantes' and our strong social organizing capabilities! We can afford to lose! Moreover, we can quickly stand up after failure!"

"What a terrifying display of strategic confidence and psychological deterrence! The message it conveys is simple - don't try to engage in a war of attrition with us, because we always have a trump card, a plan B! This seemingly tragic defeat was actually a 'show of force' of the highest order, defeating the enemy without fighting!"

This "magnificent article" that can be said to "transform magic into decay" made the main dragon amazed.

Of course, there are higher ranks.

For example, the bald UP host who is famous for being "good at definition" and "too bold to speak out".

"...So we see that the federal government's lies and military defeats are irrelevant. The real key issue is how fragile and powerless we humans, as a whole, are in the face of this incomprehensible, extraordinary force from a higher dimension!"

"Yes, the United States failed, miserably. But isn't this a good thing? They paid a heavy price for humanity with an aircraft carrier and several warships! For the first time, they made us realize directly and clearly how terrifying true supernatural power truly is! Through repeated failures, they accumulated valuable experience in fighting against supernatural forces! This experience is priceless!"

"What we should do most now is not to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire, or to gloat over others' misfortunes! Instead, we should put aside all narrow-minded nationalist sentiments and those meaningless disputes over who wins and who loses among nations and races! We should unite and learn from the classmate who has paid the most 'tuition'! This is our only way out! This is the true 'community with a shared future for mankind'!"

The Dragon Master looked at the "national teacher" in the video with a firm tone, as if he was the truth, the future, and the commanding heights of morality and rationality, and almost spit out the blood orange soda in his mouth.

"What a talent... truly a talent. With this kind of thinking, it would be a waste of talent if he didn't become the president's chief penman."

"But two days ago, when you said 'The US is invincible, we are doomed,' and advocated that we would experience another 1840, you didn't mention anything about a 'community with a shared future for mankind'."

"What? If the United States wins, it's the United States' win alone. But if the United States loses, it becomes 'we all lose together'?"

Of course, most of the discussion still focuses on the analysis of the combat effectiveness of the "Vigilance Group".

"The Queen's strength is absolutely T0! Not only did she take a single blow from Leviathan, she even got bumped by it, and yet nothing happened. She's like a humanoid Gundam!"

"The big white cat is also very strong! With maxed out agility, it can jump back and forth on the boss's head, and it can even transform! And after transforming, it seems to have a fur skin. AWSL!"

"Thunder God and Fire Lord are powerful magic DPS. They are good at clearing small monsters and attacking weak points, but against a boss with thick skin and flesh, their output is still a bit lacking."

"But the most crucial thing is still the 'Master'! He's the true soul of this team! Haven't you noticed? Every time he makes a move, he firmly controls the entire battle rhythm! He truly uses his brain! And with the Queen and White Cat, two top-tier fighters, closely protecting him, it's difficult to cut him off! This is the most stable team configuration!"

These discussions, full of a middle school-like atmosphere, and the various noises in the global public opinion field, continued to contribute massive amounts of willpower to the main dragon in the following period.

As he lay comfortably in his hotel suite in Hawaii, "enjoying" the loving dinner that Tifa had heated up in the microwave, which was actually delivered by the hotel room service, and the macadamia nuts that Jingxue had carefully peeled for him with her fair little hands, his total wish power once again skyrocketed.

In just one day, the public opinion field contributed a full 30,000 points of willpower to him!

Cool.

However, just as the main dragon was about to enter Gaia's dream again and use this huge sum of money to "spend" and upgrade his small ginkgo tree, a unique wish reminder full of abnormal emotions, without any warning, pierced into his ocean of joy like a sharp blade.

[+100 Willpower, shock and panic from Atlas.]

"Hmm?" The master dragon's comfortable expression froze in an instant.

He suddenly sat up straight on the sofa, his brows tightly locked together.

Afraid?

Even when Atlas Graham, the old fox, sent them to fight Leviathan before, he was just [irritated] and [anxious].

What exactly could make him feel [panic]?

At this moment, Louis rushed in and said, "Oh no! I can't contact Atlas, so I mobilized Anduriel's people here to investigate!"

"I discovered that Astra's car had been forced to stop, and he seemed to have been taken away by Homeland Security!"

You guys said the last chapter was too low, so I modified it and removed the emotional drama at the bottom.

The blades have been updated, and now there are probably 29 more blades to be updated.

Today is another 20,000-word update. Are you guys happy?!

66. The power of deception has begun (two chapters in one)

A windowless interrogation room, the air filled with a oppressive smell of rusty metal, dust and cheap coffee.

The layout of the room was minimalist to the point of being cold—a cold metal table, two equally cold metal chairs, and an incandescent lamp overhead, emitting a pale white glow and covered with wire mesh.

The walls were a lifeless gray, the only hint of color coming from the surveillance camera in the corner, whose red indicator light was silently flashing.
