Chapter 437

Washington.

East Potomac Island.

A team of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared on the island.

The sky over Washington, like everywhere else, was constantly sounding air raid alarms. It was already evening, and there were tracer bullet chains from artillery firing into the sky everywhere. Flashes of light were constantly erupting in the sky. Even with Murphy's drone swarm, it was impossible to silence the air defense forces of this entire city.

Meanwhile, Murphy's mechanical soldiers and the Soviet army were gradually advancing, breaking out into fierce firefights with ground troops. There were rumbling explosions and continuous gunfire everywhere.

But compared to other places, this artificial island appeared extremely quiet.

"This is the last location." Maurice Kent glanced at the captain beside him, "How is it?"

David Watson had his legs replaced with some kind of light mechanical structure. He tapped his helmet lightly, and a line of text immediately popped up on the faceplate: "People, many people, and there is magic power reaction, be careful."

Because of participating in important missions many times, David's team was now S-level, ranking at the forefront of the Countermeasure Bureau's troops, and this time they were also qualified to participate in the mission to capture the United States President.

The magic satellite also scanned here, and Lukas's voice came through the mental network: "There is a magic power reaction underground. According to the data, there may be many No-Maj soldiers stationed here. The war system opens level 3 temporary authorization, and the optimal ability list has been implanted into the personal system. Please check your personal panels."

As soon as the other party's voice fell, a transparent light screen suddenly flashed before David's eyes. This thing looked similar to the display on the helmet he was wearing, but it was floating in the air.

In fact, David knew that this was not any display effect. This light screen could only be seen by himself. It didn't even exist in the physical world, but only existed in his own mind.

This is the "War System", a super magic based on the mental network and implanted into his mind.

At this moment, the light screen displayed his personal information. In the ability column, besides the "Werewolf Transformation" and "Giant Wolf Transformation" abilities he already possessed, several other temporary abilities were added:

Super Hearing (C-level, General, Temporary), X-ray Vision (C-level, General, Temporary), Steel Bones (B-level, Temporary), Invisibility (C-level, Temporary), Super Strength (A-level, Temporary).

"Wow." David exclaimed, "Lukas is really generous this time."

Maurice was also checking his list. After seeing a "Thunder Nerve (B-level)" in it, he clicked the confirm button at the bottom of the panel without hesitation.

Immediately, a massive amount of magic power poured into his body. In an instant, he felt that his mind had gained a lot of experience and knowledge. With just a thought, he could use "Thunder Nerve" just like using his own teleportation ability, and the former could allow him to react at nearly ten times the speed of an ordinary person. Combined with his teleportation ability, he could kill dozens of people in an instant.

"It's a pity it's temporary. If it were a permanent ability, how good would that be."

However, he knew that the War System was now just a test version of a magic system and was not stable enough, so it was only provided to the few most elite teams of the Countermeasure Bureau for testing. At the same time, in order to protect the users, besides limiting the level of the bestowed abilities, the system bestowed abilities were mostly temporary in most cases to avoid causing irreversible damage to their bodies.

"Be content." David also felt the surging power in his body and shook his head comfortably, "Confirmation complete, thank you, Lukas."

"Thank Lord Murphy." Lukas's voice rang in his mind, and then a mission route appeared in his mind: "The target should be hiding in the deepest part, depart!"

……

"Boom!" The bunker gate was blown to pieces, and a rain of bullets immediately shot out from it. But a Countermeasure Bureau team member had already been standing at the door. He didn't even look at those bullets, raised his hand, and stopped all the bullets in front of him.

Metal Control (S-level), this team member was the ace of the Countermeasure Bureau. It is said that he could even crush a tank.

At this time, the system additionally added a "Mind's Eye (C-level)" ability for him, which could allow him to lock onto all targets possessing a mind.

The next moment, those bullets whistled back, turning the soldiers hiding behind the bunker into a sieve.

"Continue forward!"

……

"Superpowers, they all have superpowers!"

Deep in the bunker, an officer looked at the enemies on the surveillance video using various abilities to eliminate his soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables, his forehead full of cold sweat.

But beside him, United States President William was still calm, "No, child, that's just magic."

"Mr. President, it's not safe here anymore." a bodyguard said, "I suggest we retreat immediately. There is a train in the underground tunnel that can take you away from Washington."

"What's the point of that, gentlemen?" William asked with a smile, "Houston has fallen, as well as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia is also in a bitter battle. Leaving Washington, I have nowhere else to go."

"Mr. President, they are here to seize the nuclear codes," an advisor said, "Although our first round of nuclear strikes was stopped, we still have nuclear submarines. You can authorize a second round of nuclear strikes. The United States cannot fall in vain!"

William shook his head again, "This is the last bargaining chip. Using it is a waste. Those magic beams of theirs that descend from the sky can destroy the first round of nuclear missiles, and they can destroy the second round. This won't have any effect."

"Then what are you going to do?" an officer asked.

William smiled, "Can only surrender. Secular power is just an appearance, the belonging of the soul is the only thing. If he wants this country, give it to him."

After speaking, he stood up, and a warm and gentle radiance radiated from his body. That light was incomparably holy and incomparably compassionate, making everyone in the room burst into tears instantly, kneeling down one after another. They immediately understood who this person was and had no doubts about his identity: "Compassionate Father, are you here to redeem us?"

"Rest in peace, my children, your souls will be with me."

After William finished speaking, that holy radiance swept over, and everyone lost their breath, falling into eternal slumber with a peaceful smile.

At the same time, from their bodies, strands of things like ghosts were extracted and merged into William's body, making a halo gradually emerge behind his head.

That light passed over the entire underground bunker, and all the soldiers died in an instant.

When the halo brushed over the Countermeasure Bureau members, they only felt their heads go dizzy before they became clear, and the system issued warnings one after another: "Suffered mental shock (energy level A), neutralized."

Immediately, a temporary ability of "Mental Protection (A-level)" was added to everyone's ability panel.

Yet at this moment, "Bang, bang, bang..."

All the doors opened instantly, and there were no more obstacles for the team members until they reached William.

A voice rang through the entire space: "Murphy Darkholm. Let's talk."
