Green Valley City
"What is he doing?" Lilith threw the documents onto her desk after reading the report.
Green Valley was already suspecting that something was wrong.
After they didn't hear anything from some of the industrial cities, the leaders decided to set up defense mechanism.
One of these systems involved sending data trains every hour to connect each city and share information back to Green Valley.
As time went on without any signals coming through, a team of researchers guessed what was happening through data analysis.
They concluded that an invasion happened, with cities being destroyed so quickly that they couldn't even send out distress signals in time.
But she knew it was far from the truth.
Judging by the direction of the destroyed cities, she was absolutely certain it was Reign—he was practically screaming to the world to come after him.
'Does he have a death wish? '
'And how could he even moved that quick?' she pondered to herself, she haven't really seen how fast he could moved before so this was a surprised.
The only other person she had seen move extremely fast since coming to this world was Quill, but that was just a sudden burst of speed, and not consistent moving speed.
However—
'No matter how strong or fast he is, he won't survive a full-on assault from the humans if they get serious.' She sighed heavily.
'Did he really think he can become a Demon King just by consuming humans?'
She questioned, struggling to understand his logic.
Even if he devoured twenty cities' worth of people, it wouldn't be that simple; otherwise, Demon Kings would be far more common.
Moreover, breaking through to Demon King status required more than just vitality. That was no longer the primary factor.
This was why Peak Demon Lords no longer saw humans as a source of increasing their power; vitality had become an ineffective option for them once they reach their limit.
'What are you planning?' she mused, narrowing her eyes.
'Forget it. I don't have time to figure out the thoughts of a psychopath.'
Inside, the halls were decorated with colorful tapestries and smooth white marbled floors that echoed with footsteps.
Large meeting rooms displayed portraits of past leaders, reminding everyone that important decisions were made here.
This place was more than just a building; it was a center of power where plans were made, alliances were formed, and the future of the continent was decided.
In a large white room, a man sat in a chair, dressed in a blue tuxedo.
His silver glasses matched perfectly with his gray hair, giving him a sharp, clean look.
In front of him, a towering blue holographic figure floated, the face was hidden from view.
[ Governor Snider, you're aware this emergency call has drained a significant amount of our resources, right? This technology is still in its early stages, and it's far from efficient,] the holographic figure spoke up.
[I trust you have a good reason for initiating this.]
"Yes," Snider quickly replied with a respectful tone.
Anyone watching would be surprised to see him so deferential, especially considering he was the most influential man in this place.
But in front of him was someone who overshadowed even his influence: the President , the person with the highest authority across the entire continent.
However, the identity of the president remained a mystery.
He preferred to lead from the shadows, and no one really knew his age or even his gender.
People only assumed he was a man because of the deep voice he used during communications.
[Make it quick; I have other matters to attend to,]
"Yes, Mr. President. " Snider responded quickly, not wasting a second.
"I'm requesting full authority to send an army to the Green Valley Region...We've received intel about a possible new type of Numbered corrupted destroying cities. "
[First Brentwood, and now the entire Green Valley? Your area will bankrupt our government,]
Snider's eyes narrowed, feeling insulted by the remark, but he kept his composure.
He admitted that his region's performance had been lacking compared to others.
Frequent accidents had plagued them ever since that strange phenomenon, draining taxpayer money and resources.
Despite this, he couldn't let past failures distract him from the urgent need to act now.
