Chapter 598: Display
Someone immediately tried to dissuade Zhou Guang. "Mr. President..."
Zhou Guang spoke firmly. "The fact that he didn't immediately destroy Tianhua City upon arrival shows he's different from the other True Gods. Since he wants me to negotiate in person, I'll grant his request."
He glanced at the large screen, watching Tianhua City descend into chaos.
"That city holds 60 million people. Since I was entrusted with this position, I have a duty to protect those who place their trust in me."
"Mr. President, we can arrange a projection system for communication. There's no need for you to risk going there yourself," said Nikola Novich, the Minister of Security. He quickly added, "Besides, it would take over an hour to get there. There's no guarantee this True God will wait that long."
Zhou Guang furrowed his brows at the suggestion.
After a brief silence, he responded, "Then quickly arrange the necessary equipment so I can speak with him."
He turned to the head of the defense department. "Deactivate the targeting systems of our near-orbit weapons."
"Deactivate them?" The official hesitated. "Without them, we'll lose any deterrence against him..."
"It's meaningless," Zhou Guang replied, shaking his head. "He infiltrated Tianhua City undetected and unleashed an unimaginable attack. The balance of power has already shifted. With his abilities, if he wishes, he could destroy all our military facilities."
A heavy silence fell over the military officers.
