Chapter 154 Fear

No one answered Li Tianran’s question. Only the airwaves and radiation swept across the sea, wreaking havoc.

Li Tianran stood there, feeling the scorching wind blowing against his face, as unmoving as a stone statue. His skin felt a tingling pain, but that was all. Radiation had no effect on an evolver.

This time, Li Tianran had played all his cards. He believed it was enough to make anyone who coveted him give up their thoughts.

Indeed, an H-bomb was enough to easily destroy a city. But for those powerful nations, they were not short of nuclear weapons. The five major powers of the Alliance could readily produce dozens of nuclear missiles. So why was Li Tianran so sure that the other party would not continue to suppress him?

Because he was crazy enough!

In fact, if Li Tianran wanted to show his strength, there were many other ways. For example, he could directly use nuclear weapons to attack a large beast tide, or he could let other human nations know about his nuclear weapons, thereby judging his strength.

However, he didn’t do that, not because he wanted to start a human civil war, nor because he wanted to show off in front of the world.

It was because he was very sure that if he only possessed one nuclear weapon, he would absolutely not be able to make those world politicians fear him and treat him equally. The other party would still try to control Li Tianran and seize his nuclear weapons and secrets, but the process would be slower!

"Having" a nuclear weapon and "daring to use" a nuclear weapon were two completely different things. Nuclear weapons had existed in human history for decades, but the only time they had been truly used in internal wars between humans was during the bombing of Dongying during World War II decades ago. At other times, it was a symbolic weapon of deterrence.

Before the world cataclysm, the European Union had launched invasions against many countries under various pretexts, but they had never used nuclear weapons. After the cataclysm, many major powers gathered resources and seized the resources of small countries, but even in the face of fierce resistance, they had never used this kind of devastating weapon.

Because nuclear weapons are different from ordinary weapons. Once used in a human civil war, it would affect and shake the entire human social system. At this moment, whether it was the European Union or other powerful nations, they were trying their best to maintain the integrity of this system!

So, until the very last moment, powerful nations would not launch nuclear weapons, because they themselves were at the top of this system. Only by relying on this system could the Human Alliance continue to survive under the pressure of the beast tide.

Powerful nations had many concerns, so many powerful nations felt… that Li Tianran would also have these concerns!

But Li Tianran proved with facts that he had no concerns. When angry, he would disregard all consequences; he would go crazy!

Li Tianran wanted to use this fact to make the world politicians see one thing: that he was different from the heads of the world's powerful nations! If the heads of the world's powerful nations were compared to conspirators in suits and ties, then Li Tianran was a barefoot bandit, holding a steel knife and glaring at everyone. As long as anyone showed him the slightest hostility, he wouldn't care how gorgeous the other party's suit was, how frightening the other party's identity was, or how serious the consequences would be if he killed the other party...

I don't care about anything, I'll just stab you with a knife!

Simply put: I not only have nuclear weapons, but I'm not just going to bomb beast tides, I also dare to bomb powerful nations' aircraft carriers! I don't care if the human system collapses, and I don't care if the world is destroyed! Completely crazy!

Are you afraid of this kind of person?

Who isn't afraid?

Think about it yourself. If Li Tianran joined the Human Alliance after dropping a nuclear bomb on the beast tide, would the powerful nations treat him the same way as if he bombed an aircraft carrier before joining the Human Alliance?

Before those world politicians plot against him and target him, shouldn't they first consider… whether their actions will make Li Tianran go crazy again?

As for whether his actions would be wanted and opposed by all of humanity, Li Tianran wasn't worried. Because the strength of the human system could no longer support a civil war involving nuclear weapons, and the strength of his Pioneer Legion was something the Human Alliance couldn't refuse.

So even if Li Tianran bombed the European Union's aircraft carrier and caused everyone to lose face, the Human Alliance would still have to swallow this bitter pill, accept Li Tianran, and give him a very high position within the Alliance!

"Before cooperating to fight the enemy, you must first use great force to shock your allies, so as to ensure that you are not swallowed by your allies in the war against the enemy. Do you think it's really sad for us humans?" After a long time, Li Tianran stood before the gradually calming sea, looked into the distance with some helplessness, and said softly, "I really hope that there can be someone in the human world with the same ability as the Sea Beast Emperor, then everything would be much simpler!"

Lu Chi stood behind Li Tianran. He didn't know what to say, so he ultimately chose to remain silent.

…

The great battle that occurred in the American-Yading Sea quickly spread around the world, and the heads of countless nations were silent.

Because they discovered that Li Tianran, whom they regarded as being within their grasp, actually possessed power even greater than that of an average small country.

In particular, the small countries that participated in the pursuit of Li Tianran this time were trembling, afraid that another nuclear missile would suddenly fall on their cities.

But the European Union suffered the greatest loss this time. An aircraft carrier was destroyed in front of their eyes, which was not only an economic loss, but also a loss of dignity.

"We must retaliate! Nuclear weapons, we have them too! Find his lair and bomb it indiscriminately!"

A European Union general roared, slamming the table.

"That's right! Immediately carry out a nuclear cleansing to let him know the consequences of launching nuclear weapons!"

"He's too dangerous! He must be eliminated!"

In the conference room, senior leaders of several major powers sat opposite each other. The European Union group was agitated, their veins bulging, and they said that Li Tianran must pay the price.

The European Union group cursed Li Tianran for more than ten minutes.

Gradually, the members of the European Union group realized that the personnel of the other four major powers had been silent.

They stopped and looked at the others.

"Have you finished venting?" The representative of the Yanhuang Federation glanced at the members of the European Union group, then calmly stood up and said, "Okay, then let's talk about how to promote cooperation between Li Tianran and us, and what benefits and status should be given to him after he is absorbed into the Alliance!"

The European Union members widened their eyes. "What do you mean? The other party launched such a crazy attack on us, and now you say... you want to give up retaliation and cooperate?"

"That's right." The Yanhuang Federation leader nodded.

"We absolutely do not accept it!" The European Union group was furious.

"Then please leave the conference room, everyone from your country." The Yanhuang Federation leader said calmly, "Abandoning internal wars, abandoning retaliation, and uniting all human forces that can be united to fight against the beast tide is the result of our four major council members' discussions. If the European Union does not accept it, please withdraw from the Alliance!"

"Judging from the various strengths Li Tianran has shown, we believe that continuing to fight him will cause the entire human system to collapse! The Alliance cannot disregard the future of all mankind in order to accommodate the emotions of one country," the representative of Russia said coldly.

Just three hours ago, the people in this conference room were still plotting against Li Tianran, and immediately after that nuclear weapon exploded on the aircraft carrier, four countries changed their attitude towards Li Tianran!

This is the most real effect brought about by strength!
