Chapter 129 The Smithsonian Commissioner's Opportunity
At this moment, although they did not know how the enemy had appeared and sunk a destroyer, nor how the enemy had managed to stand on the sea without sinking, everyone believed that nothing could withstand the firepower of an entire carrier strike group. As long as the order to fire was given, the enemy could be annihilated.

However, regardless of whether they were captains at any level or pilots, all requests to fire were rejected.

Because the fleet commander used his personal connections to obtain inside information, he knew that he was the scapegoat this time, even though he was unwilling to lose the position he had worked so hard for for most of his life.

But the fact that he could sit in the position of fleet commander means that while his abilities might not be the most outstanding, he must certainly be the best at judging the situation. Since he's destined to take the blame, how he takes it requires careful consideration.

The fleet commander, having learned the inside story, knew that the person he absolutely could not afford to offend was the girl standing on the sea, who seemed to be a god-like being.

If the other party is happy, the men in China will get the miracle drug that prolongs their lives, and they will have the opportunity to take a large sum of money to enjoy their old age. Otherwise, they will only have to wait to be forced to commit suicide.

With this in mind, and in order to enjoy his retirement in peace, the fleet commander reiterated the order: "No firing, this is an order!"

No firing. No retaliation.
The soldiers of the US Navy's island-based fleet never expected to receive such an outrageous order. The usually arrogant and domineering soldiers even thought their superiors had given the wrong order.

But after confirming with their superiors, they learned that not only was the order correct, but it was also personally issued by the fleet commander.

Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Li, who had already chosen her target, moved instantly. Holding the Holy Sword Balmonk, amidst the incomprehensible gazes of the American soldiers, she sliced ​​a destroyer into pieces as easily as cutting tofu and sent it to the bottom of the sea.

This time, Luo Li intentionally refrained from using magic to detonate the destroyer's wreckage, allowing the US to clearly see how a destroyer could be cut into pieces in thirty seconds.

Despite the loss of another warship, neither the fleet commander nor Smithsonian, the negotiator in charge, seemed to care.

After all, the more debts they have, the less they worry about them. But deep down, they hoped for even more, because then the men would need to find someone taller to carry the load.

Inside the negotiation room, Commissioner Smithson sipped tea personally brewed by Tetsuya Yamashita, watching another destroyer sink into the sea on the screen, and asked curiously, "Mr. Yamashita, do you know its origins and purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Yamashita Tetsuya thought to himself, "Finally, they've arrived!" He then answered Smithson's questions according to the script Beta had given him beforehand.

"Her origins. According to them, she is a deity who was born into this world. As for why she was born, they did not say. From the information we have gathered, it seems that they are cleaning up non-human things such as evil spirits and demons. As for why they need enriched uranium, the think tank speculates that it may be in preparation for dealing with a powerful enemy."

Evil Spirit Enemy
Commissioner Smithson astutely grasped the key point and attempted to extract more information from Yamashita Tetsuya.

"Evil spirits... Do those things really exist? And are they so powerful that even gods can't deal with them?"

Seeing that the Smithsonian commissioner had taken the bait as planned, Yamashita Tetsuya moved his fingers, opened a file, and pushed the laptop in front of him towards the commissioner.

"This is a recording from nine months ago, when they livestreamed the destruction of an evil spirit called 'Kayako.' Take a look for yourself." Commissioner Smithson took the computer with some skepticism, but when he turned the screen around, the first thing he saw was a distorted ghostly figure on the screen that startled him.

"What is this?"

"Kayako..." At Tetsuya Yamashita's prompting, Commissioner Smithson nervously pressed the play button, and Kayako on the screen immediately came to life.

Although he knew it was just a recording, Commissioner Smithson felt as if the ghostly figure on the screen might jump out at any moment. He suppressed his fear and quickly fast-forwarded through the entire video.

Then, Commissioner Smithson wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "This thing usually hides among us?"

“That’s right, which is why we allowed them to secretly develop their own church influence. Because we’ve proven that the churches that already existed are completely useless!”

Yamashita Tetsuya's words made Commissioner Smithson's face turn pale instantly, but he immediately realized that this was a tremendous opportunity. If he seized it, thinking of the bright future ahead, Commissioner Smithson excitedly asked, "Could I make a copy of this video to take with me? And could you arrange for me to meet them?"

In response, Yamashita Tetsuya smiled slightly and said, "No need for such a troublesome copy. Smithson Commissioner, you can just take this laptop with you. As for the request to meet with them, Smithson Commissioner has been seeing one of them every day recently, that is, the white-haired maid. She is the 'person' personally created by that god."

"The Creator. Man. Mr. Yamashita is talking about Adam and Eve?!" Commissioner Smithson was extremely shocked by this news. After all, in mythology, humans were created by gods. If what Yamashita Tetsuya said was true, then it would be a reenactment of mythology.

"I don't know the specifics either; they revealed this unintentionally." Yamashita Tetsuya was telling the truth this time. Although their island nation was currently cooperating closely with the other side in secret, they really didn't know much.

"Them? Mr. Yamashita, you've been using the word 'them' from the very beginning. Could it be that..." Upon learning of the news about 'creating people,' Commissioner Smithson realized that the meaning of 'them' that Yamashita Tetsuya was referring to was probably different from what he had thought.

"That's right, it's them. There are more than one god who was born, or one 'human' created by the god, but in reality, apart from the ones that are known to the public, we have no information about the others."

Actually, what Yamashita Tetsuya said was already a very conservative estimate. The reality is that if it weren't for his accident, the other party would probably have already secretly taken control of the entire island nation.

Strictly speaking, this clandestine cooperation is actually a result of the other party realizing their plan has been exposed and no longer wanting to invest any more effort. Instead, they are cooperating with ambitious local figures to secretly support their rise to power and control of the entire island nation.

The current situation is this: no matter how glamorous Yamashita Tetsuya and his family seem, in reality, the entire upper echelons of the island nation have long been controlled by Luo Li and others.

The island nation is now the backyard of the reincarnators, and people like Yamashita Tetsuya are at most stewards. If the reincarnators are dissatisfied, there are plenty of people to take their place.
