I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Li Lin added with great interest.

Alice was so shocked that she felt a blur of light in her eyes; she never imagined that she would one day have a chance to vie for the British throne.

"But, but I only have one-sixteenth royal blood..."

"Tell me how many successors you have ahead of you?" Li Lin asked.

"Three, thirty-four."

Li Lin stood up and wiped his face with his hand.

——Nai Luoxiang.

Oberon Vortigern.

His dark coat draped down like clouds, and his tattered gray crown hovered above his head like a dim nebula. His long limbs became even more grotesque, somewhere between a dragon and an insect.

A familiar face with a sinister smile appeared before Alice.

All the previously puzzling points suddenly became clear, and Princess Alice, who had been kept in the dark from the beginning, was once again excited to the point of Gaussian blur.

"It's you, you big liar Oberon!"

Li Lin did not respond to Alice's excited reaction, but instead snapped his fingers.

"Alright, now you're first in line."

On that day, less than a week later, Charles III tragically died in the Great London earthquake, a devastating loss for the royal family. Princess Alice, the former Duke of Goddard, known as the "White Witch," ascended the throne as Nafar I.

On the same day, Nafar I swore an oath to the Tang Empire to join the Commonwealth. The fifteen member states that were originally part of the Commonwealth signed the instrument of accession in London, which became known as the London Agreement and became the cornerstone of later unified empires.

The following day, the United States urgently activated its contingency plan, announced the impeachment of the incumbent president, and simultaneously froze all powers of the incumbent president, who was in London, with the first vice president taking over on the spot.

The world situation is on the verge of erupting.

415 What was I doing when the world situation was on the verge of exploding?

On the first day, the world situation was on the verge of exploding.

The next day, the world situation was on the verge of exploding.

On the third day, the world situation was on the verge of exploding.

On the fourth day, the situation was dire. How could you be so lazy? We could no longer tolerate it; it had to erupt immediately!

On the fifth day, the world situation was on the verge of exploding.

"So you neither accept peace nor want to fight me, which is really putting me in a difficult position."

Li Lin sat in the center of the Bronze City, pointing and gesturing towards the White House, while simultaneously spitting venom recklessly at the pale-faced man with corn-whisker hair in the center of the screen.

"Do you have kidney deficiency? You seem less health-conscious than Biden..."

"You-"

Trump II, who had been trying to appear alert, suddenly sat up abruptly, but unfortunately, his words were all censored.

A voice-over came from the other end of the video, the voice of a Secretary of State: "Your Majesty, the information you gave us has been verified, but the United States will not join an alliance unconditionally."

"Anyway, it's not like there's absolutely no room for maneuver." Li Lin's expression was very natural. "Besides, putting aside the facts, don't you bear any responsibility at all?"

Again.

The secretaries of state looked grim: "Then why are you forcing us to join the Central Sky Alliance? According to you, the Central Sky Alliance, which has now annexed East Asia and the Commonwealth, is fully capable of forming an expeditionary force against the Star Netherworld, isn't it?"

That's because when playing strategy games, you have to color all the tiles with your own color. Even if you can't color them all, you have to use a cheat code to color them. If you're not happy with that, don't play!

"Yes, your question is very broad. At the moment, I cannot tell you exactly what you need. Perhaps before I tell you the answer, you should try to find that glimmer of hope yourself. Perhaps, in the distant future, I mean there is a slight possibility that the moment you try to find that answer, you will realize whether you really want that result. But in the end, this is just another microcosm of the many sufferings on this land."

"That's not what we meant..."

"Are you questioning my understanding of the future? You should know that I began studying the future 114514 years ago, while you have made no progress in this area. I'm not sure if you are truly ignorant of it, or if you've forgotten it in some neglected corner. Or I strongly suspect that you are not truly unable to control the future, but are merely pretending to be unable to control it, using this as an excuse to talk to me. Whatever your future may be like, how can it affect my strategy? Do you really believe your future can do all of this? On the contrary, it can do nothing. And I still have enough power to change this suffering land."

Li Lin's ambiguous Kelsey-esque response made the Secretaries of State look ashen-faced, and after a moment of silence, they used network fluctuations as an excuse to end the call.

"Are you trying to make things difficult for the world?" Nian walked over with a puzzled look, looking at Li Lin who had just finished a passionate exchange with the new US President Trump II. "It's been a week, and you're still just talking nonsense? Can't you get down to business?"

“I’m puzzled too,” Li Lin said, scratching his head. “Logically speaking, this new president should be as unreliable as his father, but it seems that this new president has an extraordinary level of cultural attainment.”

To be able to go toe-to-toe with Li Lin for three consecutive days was truly a match made in heaven. It's just a pity that Trump II's mental fortitude was ultimately ruthlessly crushed by Li Lin.

It just goes to show that there is still a difference between humans and gods.

......

White House.

The new president, sporting a head of fluffy, corn-whisker-like hair that looked like burning flames, sat blankly in his presidential chair.

He stared blankly at the dark projection screen in front of him. Most of the secretaries of state around him were also pale-faced. Doctors kept going in and out of the office, ready to perform CPR on the new president at any moment.

—Previously, he ignored advice and argued with Li Lin for three consecutive days, almost being mentally destroyed by Li Lin's humiliation.

Trump II shakily reached out and took off his glasses, then suddenly slammed them onto the table.

He looked away from the now-black projection screen, as if Li Lin had stolen his virginity. He couldn't understand what Li Lin was saying, but he was deeply shocked.

—What is the Last King? What is the reality of this world? What is the Astral Realm? This sudden shock was a devastating blow to the United States, which prides itself on being the beacon of the world.

They did know of the existence of John Pluto, the god of the underworld, but ultimately this "Guardian of America" ​​was not a dog to be bossed around.

After all that, it turned out they were the toads jumping around in the well and the crickets in the cardboard box.

Under these circumstances, the malicious Li Lin not only showed no intention of backing down, but also brazenly demanded that the United States merge into the Zhongtian Alliance established by the Tang Empire, claiming that this was for the sake of peace.

Originally, Trump II did want to have a proper talk with Li Lin, but Li Lin's act of accusing him first and his continuous mental abuse really blew him away. It was ten or even nine times more shocking than reading Shindo's transformation book.

"Your Excellency, we still have 34,000 nuclear warheads in our arsenal."

While this statement may seem like a consolation, it is actually an implication that despite having 34,000 nuclear warheads, they pose no threat to Donghuang and his Bronze City.

If they're willing to drop nuclear bombs on Tang territory today, then tomorrow Bronze City could be right on their heads.

Who would do a deal that kills a hundred enemies but loses ten thousand of their own?

Trump II finally came to his senses and sighed.

I think the great United States is doomed!

......

At the same moment, on the Kyomoon Bridge in Tokyo Bay, hundreds of suspended steel cables swayed slightly, and a black figure strolled leisurely in the middle of the 2,600-meter-long bridge, which was usually bustling with traffic.

The sea was vast and the wind was clear. Hades, draped in a black cloak, walked slowly forward.

The appearance of this Hades here means that he has finally caught Athena's tail.

However, it wasn't just Athena who was blocked on the Jingmen Bridge by Hades John Pluto; there was also Kusanagi Godou, who, after being ambushed by the goddess, went from an innocent boy who knew nothing about the mysterious world to a magician.

“I never expected you to seek refuge with humans.” John Prutto’s voice rang out, his fingers rising and leaving black marks in the air, like flames and lightning. “What a pitiful thing, disobedient god, you have missed my kindness to you—for you, the best ending is not to be born, not to exist, to return to nothingness.”

"Fortunately, you still have an alternative: to die immediately."

The black lightning flashed and burned like flames, and even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Kusanagi Godou felt as if something was gripping his heart.

"We've been checkmated."

Athena whispered as she and Kusanagi Godou fled back to Japan.

"But it's not entirely hopeless."

Kusanagi Godou reached down and pulled off his backpack, patting the Prometheus slab strapped to his chest, causing the surrounding air to distort.

The young and impetuous Kusanagi Godou, recalling the knowledge in his mind, rubbed his hands together, feeling that he had a great advantage.

416 Where is Li Lin? Please help him!

Kusanagi Godou felt he had a great advantage.

Kusanagi Godou stood confidently with his head held high, the stone slab that could usurp the authority of the disobedient god bound to his chest.

A fleeting glimpse of transparent starlight flashed through the air, carrying a hint of chill, like a flame without warmth.

Prometheus was the enlightener of human civilization and the god of wisdom who stole fire for mankind... In a sense, his flames are similar to the flames of a certain deceased god of the stars.

Compared to the passive defense depicted in the original story, Athena's assistance enabled the stone slab to play a much greater role.

Even without unleashing its divine power, it can still provide a considerable degree of protection.

“Indeed, my power is already contained within the Prometheus Tablet.” Athena seemed to be infected by this sudden surge of passion as well. Though she had no fixed form, she still shouted in Kusanagi Godou’s ear, “Burn your universe, my Saint!”

......

While Athena and Kusanagi Godou were encouraging themselves, Hades John Pluto had already turned his gaze to the vast expanse of cold starlight.

Power surged in his eyes, clearly imprinting an extraordinary image on his retina.

Kusanagi Godou's unassuming chest contains a pure and dazzling authority, the scale of which even surpasses the power of ordinary disobedient gods.

"That's the Tablet of Prometheus? To wield something stolen from the gods with a human body—that takes courage." John Pluto didn't immediately show hostility; instead, he seemed quite interested. "But I want to ask you a question: do you know what this signifies?"

Kusanagi Godou was taken aback: "That means... I'm your enemy now. Is it really okay for us to continue talking like this?"

Hades gracefully raised his hand and gestured to Kusanagi Godou as if to say "go ahead."
