That night, Wolfric hurriedly returned to his country with his subordinates to report to Bryon.
Bryon had gathered all his capable subordinates to collectively listen to Wolfric's report.
After they finished listening to Wolfric's report, they gathered to watch the recorded footage of Nathan's battle with the Four Emperors.
Upon witnessing Nathan transform into his ten-winged combat form and effortlessly eliminate aliens like Lucius, their expressions completely changed.
In her sixties, with her hair cut short to her ears, the stern Minister of Defense Jessica declared, "I've said it before that he's not purely human, and it seems I was indeed right!"
An imposing four-star general with a shiny bald head named Paulo Bobson said, "Nathan used Earth as a stepping stone to successfully seize control of the Divine Realm. No one can guarantee that he won't turn around and take over Earth once he has established his footing in the Divine Realm. Given Earth's current strength, if we were to engage in a direct war with the Divine Realm, our defeat would be inevitable. This is something everyone needs to consider."
The crowd at the scene wore expressions of deep thought.
Bryon began to speak slowly. "Just as you all have said, the Divine Realm is too strong. We simply cannot contend with it. Nathan has now proposed a collaboration between the Divine Realm and Earth, but do we have the luxury to refuse? And how should we respond to the potential threat that Nathan and the Divine Realm pose?"
Everyone fell silent.
This matter, which concerned the entire Earth and even extended to extraterrestrial realms, was so significant that, for a time, no one could propose any effective suggestions.
In the end, it was Wolfric who broke the silence.
"I've interacted with Nathan for quite a long time, so I have a good understanding of him. Allow me to share a few words."
The gazes of Bryon and the others fell upon Wolfric.
Wolfric slowly said, "Nathan is very strong, and his intentions are unclear. Even I don't dare to guarantee whether or not he will harm the Earth in the future. However, in my opinion, it's necessary to address a potential threat before it becomes too dangerous. Otherwise, if Nathan leads the Divine Realm's army to attack Earth, it will be too late for regrets."
Jessica scoffed, "You're stating the obvious! Everyone knows the best course of action is to address the threat early. But Nathan is so powerful, so how could we possibly eliminate him?"
Paulo also said, "That's right! Not only is Nathan himself very powerful, but he also has the support of the Divine Realm's massive army. How could we possibly act against him?"
Bryon looked at Wolfric, calmly saying, "Wolfric, answer their questions!"
Wolfric said casually, "Nathan is indeed powerful, but he didn't bring many subordinates back to Earth this time. Now is when he has the fewest subordinates around him, and it's our best opportunity to take action. I assure you, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a perfect time again."
Wolfric paused for a moment, then continued, "Although Nathan is formidable, if we were to deploy all our warriors, all our elite soldiers, and act in conjunction with our allies, we would have an army spanning dozens of nations surrounding and attacking Nathan with full force. As the saying goes, even ants can bring down an elephant if there are enough of them! I'm certain that we could ultimately defeat Nathan."
Upon hearing this, Bryon was somewhat intrigued. He slowly said, "Even if we join forces with our allies and deploy all our best soldiers, overwhelming Nathan with sheer numbers, what should we do if the Divine Realm finds out about this and seeks revenge?"
Wolfric chuckled, "As Nathan mentioned before, the situation in the Divine Realm is complex, and only his presence is keeping things stable. If he were to die, the vampires, Gods, humans, and other races would surely descend into chaos. At that time, the Divine Realm will be embroiled in civil war and preoccupied with their own issues. Who would have the time to deal with us on Earth?"
Bryon and the others, upon hearing Wolfric's analysis, subconsciously nodded in agreement.
