Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 826 - 698: Press Conference

"Livestream?"

Emperor Stephen of the Sunset Empire questioned: "Wouldn’t this completely expose the secrets of the Longevity World to everyone?"

"Two years ago, we already conducted war simulations aimed at the power of ’True Immortals.’ Once we commence war with them, we will inevitably use high-yield nuclear weapons. Such a battle will be observed by almost all countries in the world, even causing panic within our own. Instead of repeatedly hiding it then, we might as well turn the crisis into an opportunity by proactively revealing it and guiding public opinion to resist the invaders of the Longevity World."

Edward spoke confidently: "Moreover, although the Blue Star Federation has been established and includes many of our members, there are still hostile forces remaining. Countries like Da Jin, Central Earth, and Yellow Dragon, as well as many others like the Snow Domain Empire, appear neutral or even friendly, but should internal turmoil arise, they will not hesitate to kick us when we’re down, taking a bite at us. Therefore, we must uphold righteousness."

"With the invasion of the Longevity World, leading all Blue Star nations to resist alien invaders is what the people desire."

The President of Flame Dragon Country immediately understood: "We could even justify resisting the Longevity World invasion to compel Da Jin, Central Earth, and Yellow Dragon to join the battle, bringing them under our rule. If possible, they could even act as the vanguard, sacrificing their strength..."

"And if they refuse to join the war... they will be isolating themselves from the Blue Star, from the Blue Star people, making their international reputation fall to unprecedented lows, even being rejected by the entire Blue Star... as their saying goes... social death?"

Prince George suddenly realized.

"Indeed, just so."

Edward smiled and nodded.

They need to wield the banner of righteousness, turning this invasion of the Longevity World into an opportunity to establish the legitimacy of the Blue Star Federation, severely wounding all forces unwilling to submit to their rule.

"I have a question."

At this moment, Emperor Stephen spoke again: "The information above shows that the invading force from the Longevity World we are confronting is not the Beast God Alliance but a formidable entity called Lingxiao Palace? This force has unified almost half of the Longevity World, much more powerful than the Beast God Alliance! We already need vast manpower and resources to deal with the Beast God Alliance, and now facing the even stronger Lingxiao Palace... how can we ensure our victory?"

He said in a deep voice: "Since you mentioned using a live broadcast to promote the legitimacy of our Blue Star Federation during this battle against an Otherworld invasion, what if we fail because Lingxiao Palace is too powerful? Once defeated, the Blue Star Federation will be utterly crushed, and our mighty army will be decimated in this fight. At that point, wouldn’t only Yellow Dragon, Da Jin, and Central Earth’s nations stand out to become the saviors?"

"Not long ago, we battled the Falling Star Mecha, as Emperor Stephen must have seen. According to our estimation, the strength of True Immortal is roughly equivalent to that of the Falling Star Mecha."

Edward said.

"So what? Lingxiao Palace defeated the Beast God Alliance and their True Immortals, indicating that they have more than one True Immortal, especially that Lingxiao Palace Master, undoubtedly stronger than ordinary True Immortals... Just like our information, a top-tier cultivator can confront two, three, or even five cultivators of the same realm."

Stephen said: "If the battle starts in ten years, we can produce hundreds of drones and thousands of Falling Star Missiles, naturally increasing our chances of victory. But the invading forces from Lingxiao Palace seem to be arriving soon, not granting us more time to prepare."

"So we need to set up the battlefield!"

Edward showed confidence: "Whether it’s the Falling Star Mecha or True Immortal, their strengths lie in speed, power, and full-range advantages, but their actual destructive capability cannot surpass nuclear weapons, their defensive power cannot withstand nuclear weapons, and their speed cannot rival Falling Star Missiles or ballistic missiles." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

The Federation President waved his hand, and a strategic map appeared on the meeting room’s screen: "If we can limit the battlefield to a small area, preventing them from using their speed advantage, and conduct saturation bombing with nuclear weapons, do you think it makes any difference whether it’s one True Immortal or ten?"

"This is..."

Everyone gazed at the map, quickly guessing its implication.

"To deploy terrifying nuclear weapons like minefields within an area!?"

Stephen felt moved.

"Based on data provided by Olson, our researchers concluded that the Star Spirit Platform has the function of providing coordinates and connecting the Star Gate. This function seems weak, yet it’s like an asteroid at a gravitational balance point that can fall toward any desired star with just a little force. That’s the essence of the Star Spirit Platform."

Edward pulled out some documentation, proving his point: "Though our last Star Spirit Platform was destroyed, we have a spare one that’s already completed! We can activate it, and by then, no matter where their Star Gate projects, it will be drawn by our Star Spirit Platform and opened within it."
