Chapter 534 Negotiation? Cooperation? Karma!



"Report!"

"Yes, Mr. President!"

"Planet Cloudy Gaze is lost, imploded by the Destruction Priest".

"Planet Tierney Fingers was struck by the Necromancer Priest, now devoid of life".

"Planet Whimsical Roulette was attacked by the Devourer Priest, it is now a ruin".

"Planet Ticken…"

"Planet Gigatum…"

The more this Colonel listed out the report, the more the higher-ups that were present shuddered as everything settled into their brains.

In a mere few hours, the Nak State already lost a ridiculous number of resources, civilians, and territory that they built across decades.

It was clear that the Beast Coalition gave the Nak territories more attention than their rivals, they were suffering far more, it almost seemed unfair.

The President tried to sound calm. "Admiral Zhao".

Bzzz!

The virtual projection of the Admiral appeared the next moment.

He was inside his mechanic suit and space rapidly accelerated across his screen. Clearly, he was currently engaging in a high-speed space chase.

The President could already guess what was happening, he shuddered but still kept a calm face. "Tell me".

This Admiral's bloody face had a frustrated look on it. "Mr. President, the Destruction Priest shows no signs of stopping yet".

"He's now onto our 2nd biggest Navy outpost in Planet Stifled Rain".

"…" The President took a deep breath.

"Is there nothing that you can do?"

Admiral Zhao sighed in disappointment. "No".

He didn't need to explain himself, they all watched the performance of the Destruction Priest in Planet Cloudy Gaze. This extremely powerful beast was an absolute tank and powerhouse, he was unstoppable.

And like Admiral Zhao said, throwing more Grade A Supers at this beast would not work, the tactic of numbers simply didn't work against him.

He had too much endurance, defense, and passive regeneration for that.

His antimatter energy affinity was simply a cheat code.

The only way to subdue or even defeat this Grade A menace was to deploy an overwhelmingly powerful Calamity Grade, or even a Grade A+ Super but sadly, the Nak State had none of those otherworldly existences.

The President became angry. "Are we really helpless against this beast?!"

"There are only 2 ways".

The President's eyes lit up. "Tell me".

"First, we can decide to go the damaging route and unleash our still under development nukes and antimatter bombs. I am in charge of this research and development, I can't still guarantee the safety of these bombs".

He took a deep breath. "But without a doubt, they are the most powerful weapons in our arsenal to target beasts of this caliber".

"I thought you said he had antimatter affinity". The President interrupted.

"Yes, but that does not mean he is impervious to it, he may have some resistance but a real antimatter bomb can deal so much damage that it's resistance would not mean much in the grand scheme of things".

"What are the cons?"

"Like the nukes, we don't know it's practical side effects".

"But in theory, there's every chance that the antimatter bomb will simply gobble too much energy and expand infinitely in space to become a singularity".

"Then, we would have shot ourselves on the foot".

"It can't be stopped; hundreds of millions will die if that happens".

"As for nukes, a tiny miscalculation can irradiate millions of our citizens, affecting our DNA and probably even Super gene in numerous ways".

The President furrowed his brows. "The alternative".

"We ask for help".

"Help?"

"Yes". Admiral Zhao nodded. "It is clear that we are not the only targets, the whole Minerva Star System was affected, including the Ackermann territories".

"They may not be suffering as much as us. No existence at the level of the Destruction Priest appeared in their territory but they are still suffering, let's negotiate with them for help".

"They have a treasure that can counter the Destruction Priest".

The President furrowed his brows. "What is that?"

"The white grade treasure, Space Cave".

Admiral Zhao's face became solemn. "I've fought against the Destruction Priest enough to know. I doubt any power below the Grade S realm can kill it, the only way to subdue this beast is to trap it".

"The Space Cave is excellent for this".

"In exchange for their help, you can add incentives and also give them the assurance that we will help if they ever face a similar situation".

"We are rivals Zhao". The President stressed. "We never help each other".

"That only applies in times of peace, not in times like this".

"I believe that you can convince them".

Boom! Boom!

The next moment, loud sounds reverberated from Admiral Zhao's side. Clearly, they were already engaging the Destruction Priest again.

The virtual projection disappeared.

Silence fell into this virtual meeting room; the President was deep in thought for over a minute. Then, he finally stood up.

He arranged his suit. "Connect me to President Dominik".

"Yes, Mr. President".

A few seconds later…

BEEP!

"Hello, Mr. President".

"President Dunk, this is a surprise, I never expected a call from you".

The Nak President fought his urge to frown, he didn't beat around the bush. "I think you already have a basic idea of why I am calling".

"I bring an offer of cooperation".

"This terrorist attack affected both our territories and to me, the best way to get out of this with least casualties and losses is to cooperate".

The bald President on the other end smirked as he looked at the Nak President with a smirk on his face. "Since when do Naks and Ackermanns cooperate?"

Beep!

He cut the call on him; President Dunk's face turned livid.

"That motherf*…!" He stopped himself before he could finish the word as he turned back to look at the footage where the Destruction Priest wreaked havoc.

He gritted his teeth. "You heard the Admiral".

"Execute the first plan".

"Yes, Mr. President".

He put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath and hoped.

…

Planet Macouver, the Capital Planet of Ackermann space…

The Macouver House, the biggest building ever constructed in this planet was the presidential villa of this esteemed state.

It was painted gray and looked a more gigantic square-shaped White House.

This was where President Dominik spoke with his rival.

A building close to the Presidential villa…

BAM!

The floor was cracked open back up into the familiar small house as 6 figures all cloaked in back and emitting terrifying auras jumped into this building.

All 6 were beasts, it could easily be seen from their frames.

One of them was a Snow Monkey who emitted a terrifying pressure, another was a Golden Langur who seemed like the wisest beast in the world, the pressure gave off by this beast was also thick and massive.

The remaining 4 noticeably had weaker auras, one was an Elephant, another a Plecostomus, another was a Parrot, as for the last, he looked more mysterious than all the others, even his features were not clear.

As soon as they arrived in this building, arcane energy moved round the Parrot as he chanted a long incantation.

While he chanted, the mutated Elephant with 4 trumpets, making it look like a Kraken arranged a set-up, turning this room into something akin to a studio reminiscent of where the Beast King gave his first speech.

While he did this, the Snow Monkey held his long golden staff as he knelt on one knee while focusing on a certain room in the presidential villa.

He held his magical golden staff like it was a sniper rifle.

A few seconds later, the set-up was done, they went online.

BZZZ!

For the second time today, all electronic devices were sabotaged.

The best programmers of both ruling states simply could not catch up with the skill of the Mechanic doing this sabotage, he was just too good.

The Golden Langur looked at the most mysterious of the beasts.

"Master, are you ready?"

The beast nodded.

They went live.

Instantly, he pulled the hood hiding his face down to reveal his identity, the massive black lion mane gave it away.

This was Duhkha, the Beast King.

He looked straight into the camera. "All I ever wanted and still want is the liberation of all beasts, it would be nice if you guys can understand that and cooperate".

"Sadly, you are too arrogant to see the changing lines of fate".

"A wise man once said, pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance".

"We did exactly just that for long already, we no longer want to pretend, all we want now is to show you the price of arrogance".

"Remember, all I want is the beasts".

"Done". The Parrot suddenly said from the side, the Demonic Lion nodded.

He smiled and it looked devious. "Look".

The screen changed to that of the Ackermann State's Presidential villa.

"This is what happens to the arrogant".

BOOMMMMM!

The Ackermann State's Presidential Villa erupted in flames.

Shock rippled through the whole Minerva Star System.

This was not enough to kill the President of a civilization this powerful though, he was the most protected individual of the Ackermann State as his shield generator saved his life but they were prepared.

Instantly after the Presidential villa was razed to the ground and as commotion erupted with most of the warriors scrambling to protect their president, the Snow Monkey that had been quiet since pulled the trigger.

Snow briefly whirled around his fingers then he flicked his magic staff.

Whoosh!

It left and arrived in an instant, it accurately hit the President on the head, then it returned at that same instant.

It was like it never left the Snow Monkey's grasp.

President Dominik died on the spot!
