Chapter 1878: Intimidation and the Frog at the Bottom of the Well

Zizzle

The whole city was filled with bursting electric sparks mixed with waves of piercing buzzing.

I don't know if the Egyptian theater is more susceptible to the solar storm's influence, but as Andre's extremely confident analysis was presented, many fourth-stage representatives from various regions could only endure the discomfort and reluctantly accept.

Everything was in ruins; the newly built Federal New District, which they had poured vast resources into, was now filled with shouts and cries for emergency repairs.

Originally they wanted to display their strength, turning the Federal New District into the most desirable war zone after the apocalypse, benchmarking against Long An!,

But looking at it now...

Under the ravages of this solar storm, the entire Federal New District directly turned into a "slum".

Everywhere smelled of burnt, charred stench; at a glance it looked like a joke.

Seeing that Andre's mood was extremely bad, several Safe Zone representatives from the North American theater exchanged glances and quickly chimed in:

"Exactly, if it's really Lin An! He could even incite the sun to riot! This kind of power! A single breath could blow us all to death! What's the point of stirring up any storm?!"

"What, you go to all this trouble just to take out a few of our satellites? I think it's just a natural phenomenon! After this apocalypse, nothing would be surprising!"

"Yeah! Lord Andre is right."

"If Lin An were even that strong, he would have shown himself already! In my view, you all have no need to worry about anything! Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, if Lin An wants to take the opportunity to cause some destruction, Lord Andre, you wouldn't need to..."

Without waiting for the two to finish their duet, he soothed everyone's emotions.

Andre suddenly raised his hand, directly stopping the two's nonsense.

All that could be seen was Andre at this moment, his eyes full of solemnity as he gazed at the aurora across the sky; after a brief ponder, a flash of strange color appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"It's impossible that this has anything to do with Lin An; that's certain."

"What I'm worried about is stellar catastrophe! It's the disaster of the next stage of the apocalypse!"

Turning around, Andre's gaze swept over all the fourth-stage present, and he decisively threw out the apocalyptic "secret" he had heard from that group of fifth-stage.

How quick the reaction was!

Upon realizing that this storm had caused unease among the crowd, he also suddenly realized that this storm could completely serve as a means to intimidate the other fourth-stage.

As expected, as Andre spoke of stellar catastrophe, over a hundred fourth-stage representatives from all war zones around the globe were stunned at this moment.

He didn't give everyone a chance to ask questions.

Andre's face was solemn, his expression full of worry:

"You all know that the main purpose of our North American theater's plan to unite the world and form a new federation is to join forces to resist the apocalypse!"

"I also know that many of you think my ambition is too great! That I want to use this to unify the world! The zombies and mutants on Earth at this stage actually pose no major threat to you! Moreover, many war zones plan to retain some mutants as a means to acquire resources!"

"Is this apocalypse going to end soon, right?"

"Do you think we want to use this opportunity to re-divide the post-apocalyptic new world and monopolize hegemony?"

Facing Andre's icy gaze, all the fourth-stage present felt a jolt in their hearts.

They also didn't expect Andre to actually lay this out plainly.

Indeed, in the minds of most fourth-stage, this apocalypse has already reached its end. The North American theater is courting the Soviet Union, even turning to the gods; essentially, isn't it just aiming to dominate the world as before the apocalypse?

Toward Long An, there is no difference from suppressing Huaxia before the apocalypse. That ancient nation has always been a thorn in the eye of Western civilization.

"Lord Andre, your strength is the greatest; leading the reconstruction of world order under you, we have no objection."

"Just, stellar crisis? What is that?"

They're all sharp people.

After Andre finished laying the groundwork, a South American fourth-stage couldn't help but frown and speak up.

In his view, everyone knows this; why do you, Andre, need to bring it up? They are forced to cooperate with your side because it's too strong, but that doesn't mean they are three-year-olds.

His gaze grew even colder; looking at the South American fourth-stage questioning his mystifying behavior, Andre let out a cold snort, and his voice rang out across the whole venue:

"Stellar catastrophe is the disaster experienced by the fifth-stage civilization behind me!"

"The apocalypse on Earth is far from over! According to the calculations of the fifth-stage civilization behind me, Earth will at most face real disaster in half a year or a year!"

"The apocalypse we are currently in is merely a first-round test! It's the lowest-level apocalypse!"

"Stellar catastrophe, stellar battlefield! Civilization war! In this level of apocalypse, even fourth-stage peak are just cannon fodder! Without dozens or hundreds of fifth-stage, one cannot possibly resist this level of apocalypse!"

As his words fell, the faces of all the fourth-stage present changed.

Without waiting for them to disbelieve Andre's string of information, the next second they saw a ray of light suddenly flare up in Andre's hand.

Looking closely, the images appearing in the light curtain were, shockingly, massive disaster scenes! One after another of celestial bodies shattering, countless fourth-stage formed legions, like a flock of birds, being massively instant-killed before a monster!

The video wasn't long, but the aura emanating from each frame made all the fourth-stage present have their hairs stand on end!

This video is real!

Three minutes later, the entire venue fell silent.

Over a hundred representatives from various regions exchanged horrified glances; on their deathly pale faces, everyone struggled to swallow their saliva.

Too terrifying, too terrifying!

They never expected that the apocalypse scenes in the recording device Andre suddenly produced would be so terrifying!

They saw thousands of fourth-stage peak being bitten and exploded in one bite before a double-headed zombie the size of a planet! They saw two fifth-stage fighting like afterimages, whose collision's aftermath destroyed a planet's surface!

They even saw on a massive battlefield over thousands of super experts whose auras were hundreds or thousands of times stronger than theirs, engaged in mutual slaughter!

Every second a fifth-stage falls!

Originally they took pride in their fourth-stage strength, but after seeing each figure in the comparative footage, they felt they were nothing but ants, ignorant clowns unaware of heaven's height and earth's depth!

Any random existence that dies in the footage could easily crush them all, and beings of this level aren't even fit to be cannon fodder!

"Oh God...! This is the difficulty we will have to face from now on?!"

"Are we supposed to fight millions of fourth-stage? Fifth-stage, has fifth-stage already become strong enough to destroy a planet with a casual swipe?!"

"Stellar catastrophe! Will the sun swallow our world?!"

Trembling all over, a dark-skinned African fourth-stage covered in totem tattoos now felt his cognition completely overturned. In the South African theater, he is revered by countless survivors as a guardian deity; with mid-level fourth-stage strength, he also regards himself as a demigod.

Looking across the globe, there are hardly anyone stronger than him; in his heart, he is one of humanity's true gods, an unsurpassable superpower!

But now...

"If I were in this level of apocalypse, I'd probably be shaken to death by the aftershocks of battle!! A strong warrior? No, I'm not even qualified to be cannon fodder!"

He couldn't believe he was this weak; for a moment, he felt like he was about to be scared insane!

"Being Star-Destroying Level means one can destroy planets at will; what you've seen is merely the tip of the iceberg."

"In a higher-level apocalypse, the disappearance of entire star systems is just an ordinary disaster."

Seeing everyone's pale, terrified faces, Andre chuckled inwardly and couldn't help but keep throwing out the fragments he'd heard from the Creator Alliance.

Quite shocking, right?

When he first learned of these, he too was shocked for a long time. At that moment, he also felt like a frog in a well, with all of humanity on Earth just sitting in a well watching the sky.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that those fugitives he feared, who tried to escape by facing death, were nothing but a bunch of cowardly trash.

In his eyes, the immensely powerful Lin An, whom he wanted to surpass, was merely a clueless, pitiful worm.

With such a drastic shift in mindset, he then understood the might of the Creator Alliance! Humanity must rely on this super‑civilization to have any chance of survival!

"Lin An... it's such a pity you're not here."

"Otherwise, I really would like to see the expression on your face..."

His gaze deep, Andre patiently gave everyone time to digest, his eyes involuntarily turning toward the east.

He really wanted to see Lin An, to see whether that man would, like these wastes present, be frightened into helplessness, trembling with fear.
