I put monsters and super powers in America

Aaron Bushnell was diligently familiarizing himself with and mastering his own fire power, and occasionally he would contribute some [+10 Willpower, derived from Aaron's sense of accomplishment] by successfully completing a difficult fire control exercise.

Only Luif Mangione was a little too energetic.

He seized every opportunity to brag to everyone about his glorious deeds of "single-handedly killing Mothman in seconds" and "electrocuting the lizard monster while chatting and laughing."

He described every detail of the battle vividly, and from time to time he gestured the shape of lightning with his hands, with a smug look on his face, as if the monsters were frightened by just one glare from him.

In just two weeks, Louis, the social terror, alone contributed a full 1000 points of willpower to the Dragon King. In comparison, Atlas, Aaron, and the other scattered core members of Anduriel combined contributed only 1500 points.

As for the American military, the source of its willpower is more "formal" and "concentrated."

[+200 Willpower, stemming from the Defense Minister and his staff's hope for the success of the "Super Marun" program]

[+150 Willpower, derived from the excitement of the secret base's researchers over the successful development of the new armor]

[+100 Willpower, derived from the "Chosen Ones" team members' desire to use their powerful strength to achieve great deeds]

……

Among these endless reminders of willpower, the main dragon even "saw" a detailed list of as many as twenty people - they were the first batch of experimental subjects of the military's "Chosen Ones" plan.

He estimated that the body of the Yabu dragon cub that was electrocuted by Louis had probably been completely cut up and drained by now. The US military should have obtained a lot of "enhancement fluid" to nourish these "chosen ones".

"The military is really impatient to go straight to the human body so soon." The main dragon shook his head.

But this did him no harm, because the military actually contributed a total of 5000 points of willpower.

The military also made full use of the muscle fibers of the recovered Yabe dragon cub to create a new type of armor that combined high technology with the so-called "miracle", and equipped it to this group of "God's Chosen Ones".

As for the adult female Yabe dragon and her group of growing cubs, the main dragon still lets them lurk in the deep waters near Long Island, New York.

Before the time comes, he is preparing to give the defense minister who is eager for quick success a truly "big" vote.

At this moment, the main dragon's total wish power became abundant again.

【Wish Power: 16496】

"Well, it's time to go into Gaia's Dream and take a closer look."

His consciousness sank, and he once again entered the Gaia dream filled with primitive breath.

The changes here are not big, but everything is moving in a gratifying direction.

The growth rate of the ginkgo tree far exceeded his expectations. The trunk was obviously thicker and the crown was more lush.

Many little pterosaurs were perched on the branches, making non-stop "ah-ah" sounds.

There was little left of the huge corpse of the strange dragon, only a pair of eerie white bones with scattered pieces of flesh.

Several colorful-feathered enantiornithines were jumping nimbly between the skeletons, pecking at the last bit of remaining carrion with their sharp beaks; a large group of colorful lacewings were densely packed on the white bones, sucking the last bit of rotten meat juice with their slender mouthparts.

Under the tree canopy, several Styxraptors were chasing each other with loud cackling sounds.

The chicken-yellow Tyrannosaurus Rex cub was in the long grass in the distance, with its head lowered and its butt raised, as if searching for something.

What a peaceful scene.

At this moment, the sudden appearance of a blood-red vision broke the tranquility.

[Warning! Multiple tree roots have been detected under attack!]

The system alarm suddenly sounded!

The main dragon's "field of vision" quickly switched, and it saw several bipedal, short and fat dinosaurs with hard beaks on their heads appearing in several different directions of the huge root system of the ginkgo tree. They were working hard, digging the soft soil with their thick front claws, aiming directly at the roots of the ginkgo tree buried deep underground!

It's a Psittacosaurus!

Today's update

15 (Part 2). Little Tyrannosaurus Rex, save me!

The invader is a Psittacosaurus, and it is the Lujiatun Psittacosaurus!

The Lujiatun Psittacosaurus is a small, primitive ceratopsian dinosaur of the family Psittacosauridae. Its species name comes from Lujiatun, Yi County, Liaoning Province, China. As an early representative of ceratopsian evolution, the Lujiatun Psittacosaurus was typically about 1-2 meters long and weighed around 20 kilograms. Its most notable feature was its hooked keratin beak, similar to that of a modern parrot, which could efficiently cut plants. However, it lacked grinding teeth and had to rely on swallowing gastric stones to grind food in its gizzard.

Its movement posture undergoes a unique transformation with development: in childhood, it adopts quadrupedal walking due to the rapid growth of its forelimbs. After the age of three, the hind limbs develop rapidly, and eventually it transforms into an efficient bipedal running mode. The Lujiatun Psittacosaurus occupies the ecological niche of a primary herbivore, feeding on the branches, leaves, and rhizomes of cycads, ferns, and early angiosperms.

Although they are only the size of piglets, the bite force of their hard beaks should not be underestimated. Once they gnaw on the main root, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Little Tyrannosaurus Rex, save me!"

However, this time it may not be completely saved.

Several Psittacosaurus digging at the roots were distributed in different directions. The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub was probably unable to handle them all. At most, it could drive away or bite one to death, and the rest would continue to gnaw on its roots.

Even if the Psittacosaurus was driven away in the end, several of the main dragon's roots would have been broken.

Moreover, if we don’t make an example of them to scare these guys, it will be difficult to guarantee that the parrot-beaked dinosaurs will not come back in the future!

Pain!

At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub also returned.

The guy was dragging a small beast that was still struggling and looked extremely ferocious, and was walking towards the ginkgo tree with a grunt.

The little beast was quite large, about one and a half meters long, with a sturdy physique, about the size of a bulldog; its fur was shiny, its muscles were bulging, its limbs were thick and powerful, and its mouth full of sharp teeth emitted bursts of low roars, obviously it was not an easy opponent to deal with.

"Crawling beast!" The main dragon's mind moved.

Reptiloidea are a very special type of mammals in the Mesozoic era, belonging to the order Triceratops and the family Reptiloidea. They were mainly found in the Early Cretaceous strata of Liaoning, China 1.3 million years ago. They were more than one meter long and weighed about 15 kilograms, making them the largest mammals in the Mesozoic era.

Although they are not big in size, they are not inferior to mammals in terms of hardware - they have thick skulls, well-developed and sharp incisors, prominent temporalis muscles and masseter fossa, indicating that they have strong bite force, and their teeth are leaf-shaped, suitable for cutting.

The bones of a Psittacosaurus cub were also found in the fossilized contents of its stomach; recently, even fossils of a reptile hunting a Psittacosaurus were discovered!

Let this guy deal with the Psittacosaurus, he is a professional match.

"Let it go!"

The main dragon immediately consumed 100 willpower and issued an order to the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub.

"Gah——!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub roared in dissatisfaction, but finally let go.

As soon as the reptile was free, it took off running.

After all, after surviving a disaster, the first thing you want to do is escape quickly, not have a big meal to celebrate.

"System, take the Reptile as my patron creature. Use 100 willpower to command the Reptile to attack the Psittacosaurus."

Then, the reptile, which was halfway through its escape, froze in shock.

It turned its head and looked around, and when it saw the parrot-beaked dinosaurs digging the soil, a bloodthirsty light instantly flashed in its eyes.

"Roar..." After a low roar, the reptile used its limbs to pounce on the nearest parrot-beaked dinosaur like lightning.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub also accepted the order at this time and pounced on another one in the distance without giving in.

The reptile's attack was swift and precise, and before the parrot-beaked dragon could react, it bit its neck.

"Pfft——!"

The sharp teeth instantly pierced the thick skin of the parrot-beaked dinosaur and embedded deeply into the flesh.

"Ah! Kaa!"

The parrot-beaked dinosaur let out a shrill scream and twisted its body awkwardly to fight back, but the reptile was more flexible. It exerted force suddenly, pressed its body down, and at the same time used its thick forelimbs to hold the parrot-beaked dinosaur's body tightly, using its own weight advantage to press the parrot-beaked dinosaur to the ground.

"Crack!" A crisp bone-breaking sound rang out, and the reptile, with a ferocious head-shaking motion, directly broke the cervical vertebrae of the parrot-beaked dragon! Blood gushed out from the broken part, staining the reptile's mouth and nose red.

"Gah——!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub on the other side let out a triumphant roar, having also successfully dealt with one.

The parrot-beaked dinosaurs in the other two directions saw their companions die tragically and saw two terrifying predators rushing towards them. They no longer cared about digging up the tree roots and immediately scattered.

"Not bad!"

The main dragon turned its attention to the reptile.

[A reptile has been detected. It possesses the following innate skills: [Strong] (increases muscle strength and endurance), [Dig] (can quickly dig various soil types), and [Play Dead] (can play dead to confuse predators when necessary).]

[Copying the skill 'Strong' consumes 1000 willpower.]

[Copying the skill 'Excavation' consumes 1000 willpower.]

[Copying the skill 'Play Dead' consumes 500 willpower.]

"The skill 'Strong' is very useful, and 'Play Dead' is even cheaper."

The main dragon copied the skill "Strong" five times without hesitation, and pretended to be dead again.

"Let's return to the real world first."

When the main dragon felt his soul falling at a rapid speed, the system prompt also sounded.

【Due to the dimensionality reduction effect, the skills you acquire will be upgraded. 】

["Strong" will be transformed into "Beast King's Shadow". The person who is given this skill can transform into a powerful beast form at any time, possessing defense far exceeding that of any animal or even human creation, terrifying strength, and agility will also be improved.]

"Play Dead" will transform into "Fake Sickness." The user granted this skill can not only feign death, but also perfectly fake various illnesses and negative states at any time, and can also stop these states at any time. The faked illnesses and negative states will not directly harm the user.

Keep "Beast King's Shadow" hidden for now, it may be of great use in the future.

The main dragon wants to make the situation more chaotic. Anduriel, the military and the monsters that appear from time to time do not seem lively enough. Perhaps, a new force can be supported.

As for the "fake patient"...

"Just give it to me. Even though it looks useless, it might be effective in harvesting wishes."

Just as the main dragon was pondering, a series of rapid and strong will prompts suddenly flooded into his mind.

[+500 Willpower, stemming from the Defense Minister and his staff's strong desire to demonstrate the power of the 'Super Marun' force to the Eastern powers!]

[+300 Willpower, originating from the hawkish generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, actively planning to launch the 'Extraordinary Deterrence Strategy'!]

[+200 Willpower, originating from the White House owner and his senior advisors' ambition to use 'supernatural power' to disrupt the existing international balance!]

……

The main dragon frowned slightly.

He remembered that he had the ability to detect the location and status of the carrier of "Gaia's Power".

As soon as he thought about it, a simple energy distribution map unfolded in his mind.

Sure enough, there were twenty markers flashing faint golden light, densely distributed within a large air force base in upstate New York.

Not only are large strategic transport aircraft such as the C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster III stationed there, but the energy reaction of the previously recovered Yabe dragon cub's corpse also clearly points to that place.

"It seems this internet-famous defense minister is hell-bent on showing off his skills in front of his boss, Mr. Trump." Lord Dragon's eyes grew cold. "It's time to put a little pressure on this gentleman; to make him realize that some things are better left alone."

16 (Part 1). Want to mess with Old Zhong? Ask the monsters first!

Griffiss Air Force Base, upstate New York.

The sun scorched the expanse of concrete tarmac, and the air was thick with the smell of jet fuel.

Twenty sturdy and sharp-eyed soldiers wore the latest urban camouflage combat uniforms and wore the unique emblem representing the "Super Marun" force on their chests - an eagle with its claws grasping lightning.

They stood straight like javelins in front of a huge C-17 Globemaster III strategic transport aircraft. The hatch at the rear of the cabin was already open, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour these elite troops who were about to go on an expedition.

The U.S. minister, a politician known for inciting populism and making shocking remarks on social media, was now standing behind a makeshift podium. His somewhat stiff internet celebrity face flushed unnaturally with excitement.

He straightened his back, waved his arms at the soldiers and generals in front of him, and gave a passionate speech.

"Warriors! Today, you will represent our great Miriken and the will of the free world, and go to the far East to punish those ambitious people who dare to challenge the world order!" His voice spread throughout the tarmac through the loudspeaker, with a kind of bewitching fanaticism.

"You are God's chosen people and the pride of our nation! You carry not only advanced weapons and equipment, but also the 'supernatural factor' that we have invested vast sums of money and countless efforts into! This is the power bestowed upon us by the Lord, the ultimate weapon to crush all enemies!"

"You will launch a new era of crusades and crush the great Eastern powers that challenge us! Make them tremble before the proud 'Super Marun'! Let them understand that sixth-generation aircraft and high-tech missiles are nothing but mortals' ridiculous toys in the face of the transcendental power bestowed by the Lord!"
