Salute To The General

Gripped by fear, Bryon's body shook uncontrollably, his voice quivering as he stammered, "What... What do you want?"

Nathan's response was icy and direct. "I want nothing more than to send you to hell."

Bryon, trying to assert some semblance of control, warned, "Nathan, mark my words, if you harm me, you will pay dearly..."

However, Nathan cut him off, "Are you finished? It's time to end this."

"W-Wait! Don't kill me..."

Unfortunately, Bryon's pleas were futile as Nathan had already disconnected the call.

With a ghostly pallor, Bryon looked up, only to see a beam of light slicing through the sky. Before he could react, the helicopter he was in was struck by a laser and burst into flames. Boom!

Aboard the God's Punisher Spaceship, Nathan watched the helicopter's fiery demise with a detached expression.

At that moment, Eve approached and reported, "Your Majesty, Fang of Eurasia is requesting to speak with you. Shall I connect the call?"

After a moment's consideration, Nathan instructed, "Yes, connect the call."

Swiftly, a call was established.

Fang's voice, laced with anxiety, came through, "Mr. Cross, are you all right?"

Nathan, touched by Fang's concern, responded more gently, "I'm fine, thank you for asking."

Fang, relieved to hear Nathan was unharmed, nonetheless cautioned, "Mr. Cross, while Bryon and his associates acted heinously, I urge you to consider the broader implications..." "You've learned to see the bigger picture, I see. I wasn't wrong about you after all," Nathan calmly replied.

Upon hearing this, Fang paused, unsure how to interpret Nathan's remark. Attempting to maintain his composure, he said, "You've been in my shoes, so I trust you understand." "I do," Nathan calmly responded.

Fang implored, "Please, show mercy, give us another chance. The thought of you attacking the city is alarming..."

"They killed my wife, Colin, Ava..."

"I understand, but..."

"I've already killed Bryon!"

"What?" Fang exclaimed in shock.

Nathan firmly stated, "In deference to your request, I won't level the city. But I will target their military installations to send a clear message: this is God's punishment." Desperate, Fang pleaded, "Is there any chance for further negotiation? Please, grant us another opportunity..."

Nathan's tone was unwavering, "I have shown you leniency. Don't push your luck."

Fang, a former protégé of Nathan and one of his most skilled disciples, was well-acquainted with Nathan's character. Upon hearing Nathan's final words, Fang realized that further negotiations were futile.

Nathan then declared, "Make arrangements for my family. After fetching them, we will leave Earth and return to the Divine Realm. As for Earth and the Divine Realm's cooperation, let's pause and reflect. Once emotions have settled, we can decide whether to collaborate, confront each other, or cease all

contact. All options are on the table."

Nathan had previously championed collaboration between Earth and the Divine Realm, even planning to share advanced Divine Realm technologies to elevate Earth's living standards.

However, the betrayal by Bryon and others had hardened his heart.

He understood that cooperation between Earth and the Divine Realm required mutual effort and willingness.

Having accepted this, Nathan was ready to move on.

Fang, perceiving Nathan's sense of betrayal and disappointment, had also witnessed the formidable aspect of Nathan as the God King.

Confronted with Nathan's imposing presence, Fang felt overwhelmed.

He simply agreed, "All right then," before ending the call.

Nathan then ordered Eve, "Direct the God's Punisher Spaceship to commence retaliation. Target the enemy's key military installations. They will pay for the murder of my loved ones and comrades." "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Within hours, the God's Punisher Spaceship had launched attacks on the military bases of various Adrunian powers, inflicting significant losses.noveldrama

This offensive led to a rapid decline in Adrune's military standing, effectively removing them from the ranks of Earth's leading military powers within a single day.
