NOVEL NEXT In a courtyard in the imperial capital of China, Gu Bbin stood sweating profusely on the side. Occasionally he snuck glances at the figures before him.
Besides Gui Bin and some service staff, the rest were all big shots.
There was the immortal from China, a nun from the Vatican, a Shinto priest from Japan, and a Monk from Southeast Asia.
In Gui Bin's perception, the immortal from China was carefree and casual, the nun from the Vatican was gentle and kind, and although the Southeast Asian monk followed primitive Buddhism, he was compassionate. Only the thin old man from Japan always gave him a sense of dread.
Although Gui Bin knew that this priest couldn't harm him, he nonetheless felt a great amount of consternation.
It could only be said that the temperament of these extraordinary individuals was all different. In this small courtyard, apart from the Norse Valkyrie, all the world-renowned superhumans were present.
Besides these four extraordinary individuals, there were also two old men present. The appearances of these two were well-known throughout the world—one was an elder from China, and the other was the Russian Czar.
At this moment, whether it was the elder from China, who appeared solemn and stern, or the Russian Czar, all of them maintained a formal attitude.
Although they wielded national power and authority, they were ultimately just mortals. In the eyes of true extraordinary beings, perhaps the difference between them and ordinary people wasn't as significant as imagined. Claims like emperors being protected by dragon qi had already been proven to be nonsense. Mortal kings could never compare with the extraordinary.
The Tsar habitually twirled a pen between his fingers and glanced at the extraordinary individuals in front of him. These people were silent, like sculptures. If it weren't for their occasional breaths, it would be difficult to perceive their vitality. He sighed inwardly. When it came to cultivating qi, he, as a mortal, was truly inferior to these extraordinary individuals.
"Esteemed ones, what do you think about the situation in South Korea?"
He spoke in Russian, struggling for a moment to find an appropriate way to address the people in front of him.
Currently, both China and Russia have troops deployed on the border, ready to intervene in South Korea at any moment. However, these extraordinary individuals hadn't taken the initiative to suggest action, so the military forces of China and Russia didn't dare to act recklessly.
Compared to the United States indifference, China and Russia were actually more anxious because South Korea was too close to these two countries. If the monsters from South Korea crossed the border and reached these two countries, that would be a real catastrophe.
Sometimes, the two leaders also envied the United States. That country's geographical location was indeed excellent. Even during World War II, there hadn't been any real damage to its domestic industry.
However, these supernatural beings remained silent, and the two countries could only choose to stand still. Modern society was vastly different from the world during the World War II era. Modern people could tolerate the casualties of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, this time, if they were to invade South Korea, the two countries would face supernatural monsters. Even if one were to think with their eyes closed, they would know that the losses would be devastating.
From the gathering of these supernatural beings, and even the Japanese priest coming overseas to the capital of China, the leaders of the two countries knew they were discussing the matter of South Korea. Therefore, the leaders of both countries thought it best for these supernatural beings to take action themselves, while their respective armies would just follow and take advantage. Hence, the meeting took place.
The Japanese priest, with a grim and rusty tone, dryly said, "That land has already become a realm of evil gods. Even if we intervene now to resolve the crisis, if we do not eradicate the source, the evil gods will inevitably return one day."
The monk from Southeast Asia echoed, "What he said is true. That land has already become a breeding ground for evil gods. I also agree not to take the initiative. Let the evil energy dissipate before dealing with the aftermath. They do not follow the right path, so they will not attain the right results. Even Buddha would find it difficult to save them."
Despite being compassionate, the monk, who followed primitive Buddhism, had no intention of sacrificing himself to save others. Primitive Buddhism emphasizes personal transcendence and does not seek to save sentient beings. They only preached and taught, allowing sentient beings to cultivate themselves.
The youngest and only modern person among them, Sister Milda, sighed, "I once prayed for guidance from the Lord, and the Lord told me that this is not something I should intervene in. If the aura of the evil god continues to exist, the gods will not save it."
The words conveyed by Milda's "Lord" were simply the best explanation of how God only saves those who save themselves.
The old immortal from China just smiled and drank tea, saying lightly, "Break before building anew."
The elder and the Czar exchanged glances, both feeling sighs in their hearts. The words of these supernatural beings meant they were witnessing South Korea's self-destruction. Both of them were national leaders and knew what the evil god's aura meant. South Korea's various cults were already widely known, so the intentions of these supernatural beings couldn't be clearer: let South Korea pay the price for its choices, and only then could it rebuild its nation from the ruins.
Only in this way could the aura of the evil god's breeding be dissipated.
Since these supernatural beings had spoken, the leaders of the two countries decided to continue to stand still. They had no interest in cleaning up after South Korea and letting their own soldiers suffer losses.
……
In various countries and regions, discussions were underway about South Korea, and at this moment, the country under everyone's watchful eyes was in a state of anxiety.
The number of these monsters was not large, so for South Korea, there were pros and cons. The advantage was that these monsters were currently only attacking Seoul and did not have extra troops to disperse to other parts of South Korea. However, the disadvantage was that Seoul was the capital of South Korea, and any damage here would break the hearts of South Koreans. Also, because it was the capital, the South Korean military dared not act recklessly here.
At the same time, for the South Korean government, there was even worse news about the likely presence of the Burrower Beneath underground and the increasing number of monsters.
Indeed, after many people were killed by Byakhee and ghouls, some of the dead were resurrected and turned into ghouls. These ghouls, after consuming corpses, would become stronger in a short time. Although the spread and expansion speed were not as fast as in movies like Biohazard, the increase in enemy forces was already a major issue.
At the same time, even the number of Byakhee flying in the air seemed to be strangely increasing.
Seoul had already come to a moment of fate.
