Chapter 464: Yellow Hair vs. Old Deng, Victory!
The spacious interior is decorated with a distinct Ursus style.
On either side of the reception table, Old Deng and the blond-haired man in his eyes were seated. Although they were indoors and it was clearly not winter, there was a chilling cold that seemed to come from the Arctic.
The chill is invisible; it does not spread in the material world, but rather wreaks havoc on the spirit and will.
An endless chill enveloped my senses, like a winter night with no end in sight, carrying with it boundless despair.
"Yellow Hair" slowly straightened his clothes, took off his military cap, and placed it on the table.
The Heavenly Gate warriors are indeed powerful; in Western perception, they are demigods. However, to think that they could intimidate Bai Ze with divine will alone would be to underestimate him.
Bai Ze created "Heaven's Will" with the intention of one day challenging Pei Dongliu's "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs."
Although it cannot be touched now, Bai Ze's will can still remain serene in this endless winter.
Old Deng felt a touch of admiration for the man's composed demeanor, but the thought that the man in front of him was "Yellow Hair" froze that admiration in the cold of winter.
At this moment, a young man dressed in military uniform, with every strand of hair neatly combed, came over with a tray, placed the teacups on the tray on the table, and poured black tea for the two of them.
"Thank you, Alyosha."
The strategist nodded slightly and asked, "Have you reconciled with your daughter?"
"Thank you for your concern, Marshal. We've made up," Alyosha replied.
The military strategist's gaze fell on Bai Ze, explaining to "Yellow Hair": "Alyosha's daughter Olga fell for a useless good-for-nothing. For his daughter's sake, he killed that good-for-nothing. Little Olga and he had a long-standing conflict, but they eventually made up."
As he spoke, the military officer gave Bai Ze a chilling look, as if he was pondering how to make his move.
It seems to be about the adjutant, but what it actually means in military jargon is clear to anyone who knows.
Disliking the man her daughter chose, she killed him. In the Ursus Federation, this kind of behavior can only be described as extreme, but it has to be admitted that it is very Ursus-style.
In comparison, Dongxia's approach—"I'll give you five million, leave my daughter"—was far too gentle.
Bai Ze felt a slight sense of relief, and at the same time laughed, "Fortunately, I'm not a useless piece of trash, so I don't have to worry about being killed by some old guy one day."
As he spoke, he subtly waved his hand, dispelling the invisible chill emanating from him.
The aura that was revealed at that moment was undeniably powerful.
"There are certainly quite a few eight-star warriors in the Ursus Federation, if I dare not say there are many," the strategist said calmly. "With just one word from Ekaterina, all eight-star warriors would be willing to offer their hearts to her."
"Could someone the same age as Catherine's father, an eight-star martial artist?"
Bai Ze smiled and said, "However, I may not be able to match the latter point, because from the current point of view, Ekaterina is the more proactive one."
Although the previous verbal battle was initiated by Bai Ze, Ekaterina, as expected of an Ursus, was incredibly efficient once she set her sights on a target.
Of course, Ekaterina's "initiative" was actually the kind of initiative that led to Bai Ze being forced to his knees and being dragged back to Ursus.
If Bai Ze hadn't been able to defeat Ekaterina during their previous meeting, he might have actually been dragged back by her.
This point alone is not worth elaborating on to military strategists.
Upon hearing this, Old Deng's face immediately revealed a fierce expression, like the howling of a north wind.
You little brat, are you implying that my adopted daughter willingly got on your ghost fire and went for a ride with you?
The cabbage I raised is now willingly going to gnaw on you, you wild boar?
"Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?" the strategist said in a low voice.
"I guess they wouldn't dare."
Bai Ze slowly picked up his black tea, took a sip, and said, "The Ursus Federation currently possesses 41,320 nuclear warheads, of which I can detonate 90%. The remaining 10% isn't that I can't detonate them, but rather that I haven't found the right ones yet."
"The Steel Continent currently possesses thirty-six nuclear weapons, each with a high yield, all of which are under my control. Even if the Western Alliance retreats, they cannot take them with them."
"If absolutely necessary, I could even move the Steel Continent directly."
If that were the case, then it would truly be like a will-o'-the-wisp stopping downstairs at your house.
Have you ever seen a "ghost fire" that's half the size of Japan?
"The safety of all the nations of Earth rests on my shoulders. I'm really worried that if I die one day, who will be able to shoulder this burden?"
The Earth Star weightlifting champion let out a deep sigh.
On the other side, the strategist's brow twitched as he listened, and his adjutant, Alyosha, could no longer maintain his meticulous expression.
"This must be a writer's tactic." The military strategist stared intently at Bai Ze.
He could intrude into networks as easily as entering an empty field, and he could even control the launch of missiles that were not connected to the internet and were entirely operated manually.
These are all techniques used by writers.
Military strategists had some doubts about the writer's abilities, but they had to admit that the writer was likely capable of controlling the Ursus Federation's nuclear weapons.
Ninety percent is probably an exaggeration; three or four percent is definitely true.
The problem is, that's something only writers can do.
In response, Bai Ze said, "I am but a humble writer."
The writer extended greetings to the military leader.
In that instant, a chill erupted in the real world, freezing the entire room in an instant.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The strategist's face revealed a murderous intent that he could no longer conceal.
Any entity that threatens the Ursus Federation will be eliminated by military strategists at all costs.
Even if this person was the object of Catherine's affections.
"Unfortunately, I had already made arrangements before coming to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Killing me won't affect the outcome," Bai Ze said, then suddenly smiled. "Besides, you can't kill me."
Before he dies, he will use all his power to make his words come true, transferring his soul and power.
Then, the flesh and blood Bai Ze left behind on Earth will regenerate, reviving him.
Even destroying his soul wouldn't help, because Bai Ze still had a part of his consciousness remaining in Luo Shui's sea of consciousness.
This was inspired by the Great Nature.
This is something Bai Ze could only do after breaking through to the eighth star.
Moreover, if they really wanted to escape, they might not necessarily be unable to.
This is the confidence that comes with a top-tier system.
However, threats alone may not be enough to shake the will of a military strategist.
After all, the Ursus Federation is a country capable of annihilating both hostages and criminals, and military strategists are renowned for their ruthlessness.
Bai Ze suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, you don't need to be so hostile to me, Military Strategist. I have always been a friend of the Ursus Federation and I also admire the founding father of the Ursus Federation. I have even resonated with the glory of Ursus before and sensed that divine enemy who is located in the southern part of the world."
"Unfortunately, I cannot join the Ursus Federation, so I can only regretfully decline the glory of Ursus."
As he spoke, a faint red light appeared on Bai Ze's body.
Although it is not as dazzling as Ursus's Radiance, the will flowing within it is remarkably similar.
Upon seeing this, the adjutant Alyosha shuddered, and a crimson glow emanated from his body.
This is resonance, a resonance between those who share the same divine will.
While Grand Duke Winter wasn't the possessor of Ursus's Radiance, it was because he was a contemporary of Vladimir. At the time of the Ten Star Military Strategist, Vladimir hadn't yet shared in his divine will.
In reality, the entire Ursus military is Vladimir's loyalist, regardless of whether they possess Vladimir's divine will.
At least at the higher levels, this is the case.
To date, the Ursus Federation has only had one center, and that is Vladimir.
The Ursus Federation possesses an extremely strong centripetal force regarding Vladimir.
Thus, a situation arose where a military strategist could no longer contain his emotions, and his adjutant Alyosha whispered, "Marshal."
Alyosha had been observing from the sidelines, but now he couldn't hold back any longer.
Vladimir's divine will is the biggest selling point.
Bai Ze, by borrowing Vladimir's credentials, was virtually invincible in the Ursus Federation.
"I know."
The military strategist replied curtly to his adjutant, then glared angrily at Bai Ze, "How dare you refuse Vladimir's goodwill?"
Bai Ze: "... "
'
Speaking of Vladimir, even your anger towards the blond guy was suppressed, right?
Only after saying this did the military strategist's cold and hard attitude finally soften.
Then I looked again, and this blond guy... no, I should say young man, wasn't actually that repulsive.
To remain composed and even daring to threaten a demigod is truly commendable.
He himself is incredibly powerful, not just reckless. He was able to infiltrate the Wan Yi Zhi Ji server when he was weak, and even threaten me, the dignified Marshal of Ursus.
Once the filter is applied, the situation reverses dramatically.
Before, I couldn't stand the sight of it, but now I can't stand the sight of it.
His only flaw was that he rejected Vladimir's goodwill and failed to fully resonate with divine will.
If that were the case, he would be a pure Ursus, fully capable of shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the Federation alongside Ekaterina, and making Ursus great again.
So, the question comes full circle: you actually rejected Vladimir's divine will?
"I'd love to share Vladimir's divine will, but the problem is his threshold is a bit too high," Bai Ze thought helplessly.
Having witnessed the terror of Vladimir's saga, he was even more eager to ride on Ursus's glory.
Unfortunately, they don't want me.
But at least, we've gotten through this hurdle.
Vladimir's reputation was so terrifying that it completely reversed the impression of the blond-haired man.
The military strategist still appears angry, but his inclination has already wavered.
He wouldn't consider Bai Ze a comrade-in-arms like Dmitri, but at least he wouldn't see him as a threat that needed to be eliminated.
And once the impression is reversed, the original dislike suddenly becomes a liking.
To have such strength at such a young age, impressive!
It would be even better to be able to join the Wan Yi Zhi Ji (a group of experts) and be on the same level as oneself!
Secretly taking control of the Steel Continent, excellent!
The frost inside had quietly melted away, and the invisible chill had long since dissipated. A gentle spring breeze blew in through the open window.
The military strategist coughed lightly, concealing his anger, and said, "Since you've gained Vladimir's approval, it means you're not a useless piece of trash. As the marshal of Ursus, I consider myself to have recognized you. However…"
"As for Catherine, she's the one who calls the shots. I won't interfere with her thoughts, so don't expect my leniency to win her heart."
The style has reversed; now the military strategist has become a tolerant old father.
However, she still cares a lot about the little cabbage she raised, so she shouldn't even think about helping out.
The only reason they didn't kill the blond guy was because of Vladimir.
Seeing the military strategist's state, Bai Ze could only pray that Vladimir would return to the Ursus Federation later.
Considering the situation of the various countries' enemies over the years, Vladimir probably has no intention of returning anytime soon.
Even though his cultivation path doesn't rely heavily on vital energy, he still has some of the necessary requirements.
The environment of Earth is like a shallow puddle to a divine enemy, making it difficult for a true dragon like a divine enemy to move around.
Moreover, the distance sensed earlier was far enough that the military strategist was unlikely to encounter Vladimir.
If we give Bai Ze more time, then... hehe, Old Deng, you'll see if you can catch up with my will-o'-the-wisp.
Bai Ze chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he said sincerely, "The matter with Catherine is a private one. Now I would like to learn more about the founding father of Ursus, the great Lord Vladimir."
Before the first half of the sentence could even displease the military strategist, the second half filled him with a strong sense of pride and a desire to share.
Over the next half day, Bai Ze fully realized that people are naturally inclined to teach others.
The premise is that this enjoyment should not become work.
The act of teaching, as a teacher, satisfies one's own desire to share and also earns the admiring gaze of students—it's simply irresistible.
What? That admiring look was directed at Vladimir?
You have excellent taste!
Even the most ruthless military strategist opened up at this moment, speaking at length about Vladimir's ideas and the years they had spent together.
Those were truly exhilarating and unforgettable days.
When they got really into it, the military strategist's loud laughter echoed throughout the room.
Five hours later, after the black tea had been changed several times and the snacks had been served three times, Bai Ze finally came out of the room.
Dmitri was outside when he saw Bai Ze emerge unharmed, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
The blond guy went to the banquet alone and managed to get away unscathed despite Old Deng's hostility. He even managed to persuade Old Deng in the opposite direction. It was simply amazing.
Bai Ze declared, "The god is not me, but you Ursus military personnel."
It was at this moment that Bai Ze's divine sense was unknowingly stirred.
He glanced to the side and caught a glimpse of a fleeting strand of silver-white hair.
