The Great Xia Kingdom.
Inside a coffee shop in City A.
Totelli sipped his coffee with a hint of frustration, looking at the stunningly beautiful white-haired girl in front of him. He opened his mouth, but hesitated, and finally let out a sigh.
"Boss... this is the second time. Am I really that easy to forget?"
I recall the time I almost froze to death, and the time I was almost blown up by the Fallen God Company not long ago.
He was speechless.
“This is a special case. I’ve imprisoned [the ground] and I want Aikalen to have a day to rest. I haven’t forgotten you.”
Hera pointed to Ekaren, whose face was contorted in pain after taking a sip of black coffee.
"Ah, me?"
Aikalen pointed to herself, somewhat taken aback.
"Hey, boss, why are we going back to Great Xia?"
Looking at the scenery outside, which he had never seen before, Tote couldn't help but feel curious, as this was his first time in Great Xia.
Hera ate cakes one after another, her mouth covered in cream. "There's no particular reason. I just had nothing to do, so I thought I'd come to Great Xia to wait. After all, I was born in this country."
"Oh, I see." Thoth picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said, "How long will we have to wait?"
"I don't know, but Nantian said that the only plan left is to seize the Terra Tree, and that we should wait for a suitable time to take action."
"I estimate that this opportunity shouldn't be too far off."
"Oh," Hera said casually.
"After all, according to what you said, the captain and vice-captain of the [Godslayer] squad were all killed, and with the recent fall of the Star God Group, the entire Night Star Clan suffered a great loss of strength."
"It would be best to launch an attack during this time."
Thoth ignored whether Hera had asked or not and answered on his own.
Aikalen, standing next to him, suddenly realized something and said, "You're so smart."
"It's alright." A slight smile appeared on Tote's lips.
Just then, Hera, who was showing off her cake, suddenly noticed some strange noises outside the window.
With her face still covered in cream, she leaned closer to the glass.
"Mr. Gu! May I ask what brings you back to China this time?"
"Mr. Gu! Could you tell us about the [Godslayer] Squad?"
"What exactly happened to you? Why did you return to China?"
"Wow, Mr. Gu is so handsome! I want to marry him!"
"..."
On a bustling street, a luxury car was surrounded by reporters and pedestrians, forcing it to move forward little by little.
Several reporters surrounded the luxury car and loudly interviewed Gu Gongming, who was sitting inside with his head down.
Gu Gongming, however, kept his head down, showing no intention of answering.
Finally, they simply rolled up the car windows, completely isolating themselves from outside noise.
Some of the people surrounding the car looked anxious and fearful, but most of them were just there to watch the drama unfold and see their idol.
"What are those people doing? And the person in the car looks like Gu Gongming."
Hera leaned against the window, looking at everything outside and muttering to herself.
"Gu Gongming? Is he from the [Godslayer] team?" Tote pushed up his glasses.
Aikalen nodded at him. "Yes, that's right."
"Well, it seems the general public is unaware of this, but some may have already guessed what's going on."
They looked at those with solemn expressions and nodded slightly.
"That's right... many people have indeed noticed something amiss..."
"ah!"
The sound of "X" suddenly came from Will's phone, startling him as he was looking down at his phone.
After glancing at everyone, she quickly placed her phone in the center of the table.
They communicated entirely in English, which the people in the coffee shop couldn't understand, hence their uninhibited conversation.
The phone screen kept switching between different topics, eventually stopping at the trending topics on Weibo.
I automatically scrolled down a bit, and a trending topic that was further down the list was clicked on with an "X".
“Many people have already noticed the recent anomalies of the Night Stars…and some have even discovered the destruction of the Star God Group…”
Several topics appeared on the screen in front of the group.
[This flying house... doesn't it seem like it was part of the Star God Group's last-ditch self-rescue plan?]
The post was accompanied by a somewhat blurry photo showing a huge building flying in the air like a drone.
[Has anyone been to the capital of Atan? Why is it that entry to the capital is currently restricted?]
The "Godslayer" squad may have been destroyed, for the following reasons:
Upon seeing the last topic, [X] specifically clicked to open the comments for a few people.
Comment:
[What are you thinking, bro? The most likely demise for the [Godslayer] squad is that they retire.]
That explanation is too far-fetched... (?▂?) How could that be?
[How much money did the God of Light give you? If the [Godslayer] team is gone, then humanity is half finished. Don't create panic here.]
[Upstairs, this is practically a walking 500,000! (*▽*)]
...
"Although some people have already suspected it... perhaps the Night Star's higher-ups have kept the news under tight control, so not many people believe it..."
Thoth wasn't surprised at all.
"That's normal. After all, in everyone's eyes, the [God Destroyer] team is their greatest asset. If they really find out that it has been destroyed, who knows how panicked they will be."
Hera, who was still eating, seemed to have thought of something and lowered her head, appearing unusually thoughtful.
"What if there's panic?" Hera suddenly asked.
"This will at least deal a heavy blow to the Nightstar's higher-ups... leaving them scrambling to keep up with the chaos..."
Before Thoth could answer, [X] spoke first.
"Then how about we tell everyone we know to create panic?"
"You're dreaming... If it were really possible, I would have done it already..."
[X] poured a bucket of cold water directly on him.
"Putting aside whether the public will believe us after we release this, it might even attract the attention of the Night Star's higher-ups..."
"And I can't push information onto a media company's account... After all, it's perfectly fine for me to steal their company's secrets... But if I were to use their account to post information..."
"I will definitely be detected by the satellite..."
"What if we go to a media company offline and have them publish the content?"
"..."
[X] pondered for a moment, "It's not entirely impossible. Personal accounts and some small media companies... it's certainly possible..."
“I have a plan.”
Hera swallowed the cake whole. “We can go into a media company, or open a personal account to spread information and create panic.”
“That’s certainly a good idea,” Thoth said, stroking his chin. “But it might be a bit difficult.”
Hera didn't hear what Thoth said at all; she simply stood up and walked out.
"I'll go find someone who seems easy to fool."
