Chapter 1165
Three hours before the Butterfly Empress was abducted by Davey.
Her castle stood on an island not far from Hawaii. The island, which had appeared out of nowhere, had such breathtaking scenery and architecture that people took to calling it Atlantis.
Naturally, the first country to jump into action regarding the mysterious island was the United States. Claiming territorial waters nearby in the Pacific Ocean as its own, the U.S. moved to block foreign interference and launched an independent investigation.
The Atlas quickly showed up to hold it down.
Recently upgraded using monster materials, the new American aircraft carrier was tens of meters longer and larger than an already enormous standard carrier. It was powerful enough to be considered the nation's most elite military force.
Practically encircling the island, they were preparing to deploy troops to investigate. Some units had already begun advancing toward the island using amphibious assault ships.
“Phew. I’ve seen some crazy things in my life, but this tops it all.” Captain Vista, the commanding officer of the Atlas, shook his head as he gazed at the massive and beautiful island.
Despite it being dark, the island glowed with a subtle light that made it surprisingly clear in view. It was a truly unbelievable sight.
The unknown always presented a new opportunity.
As long as the risks could be adequately managed, the U.S. could leave other nations in the dust with its exploration. With specialized troops, essential supplies, and even Awakened individuals aboard, they felt confident enough to handle whatever possibly emerged from the island.
“Captain, preparations are complete.”
Hearing the crisp report, Vista, still staring at the glowing island from the command room, gave a solemn nod. “Commence Operation Atlantis.”
