I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 444

Chapter 444 – Common Enemy

“Everyone, please be quieter. I think that we should be discussing how to face this monster… For now, let us call it Typhon, and we should figure out how to deal with this threat.”

The Russian president turned the pen in his hand and advised with a calm look.

Perhaps because this crisis had nothing to do with Russia, which was located in the far north, he was able to remain relaxed.

Although the President of Russia hated the United States, he still understood his priorities. Compared to internal conflicts among the nations, this mythical monster’s appearance was more dangerous and could become a global crisis that required all humans to join hands.

“Face it? How do we face it? Let alone Thor, America does not even have any Iron Man or Hulk to fight back! Okay, maybe Thor might be real, but I am sure he would never appear in the United States of America. He may only appear in Denmark or Norway.”

The President of the USA’s words contained strong aggression. The USA was founded in only a short time, resulting in having a weaker cultural heritage. That said, even if they didn’t have one, they were still the number one country in the world. With an invincible navy and powerful economy, other countries would not be able to overturn their hegemony. Countries that turned against the USA did not have a good end, just like the former Soviet Union.

However, this did not mean that the President of the USA was not jealous, but this was the best way to hide his jealousy.

“Oh, China! I think these things require professional expertise. I wonder if you can go make a request to that summoned god… if I remember correctly, it should be the God of the Eastern Sky Taiyi, right? Please invite the old man to personally make a move, I think with the greatness of the supreme god of the Chinese civilization, a mere Typhon is definitely nothing.”

In order to solve this crisis for a small cost, the President of the USA was willing to flatter others. He did his best to say good words.

He did not care about his presidential image at all. Before being president, he was a businessman. To gain benefits, fawning and flattering the other party did not matter.

The leaders of the other countries were amused to see the President of the USA being so brazen. They also admired him for being able to do this for his country. Putting down his pride to ask from others could be considered a blessing for the people of the USA.

The Chinese leader frowned slightly and called his secretary to ask about the old immortal who was recuperating in the western mountains of the capital.

The president of China didn’t try to help because of the President of the USA’s flattery, but because of the crisis being related to humanity. Since they had the ability to solve the problem, they felt a sense of responsibility as a great nation.

Under the President of the USA’s expectation, it did not take long for the secretary to report the situation, and the president of China expressed his helplessness, “…It is not that China is choosing to escape. We have sent someone to ask the old immortal, but he said that he was greatly exhausted and could not perform the ritual again in a short amount of time.”

“We also asked the old immortal about the monster. After seeing the photos, he told us that it was really the Titan of Greek mythology. Even in his heyday, it would be difficult to face such a demon, let alone in his current state.”

Hearing the sincere words, the President of the USA sighed in disappointment. Although the translation of those unique Chinese words was confusing, he understood the general meaning.

Then the President of the USA looked at the Italian and Vatican sides and asked, “Is Christ, our Lord, still asleep?”

“If the Lord says he will awaken in thirty days, then he will certainly awaken in thirty days. There are still seven days before the arrival of the thirtieth day.”

Pope Francis I bowed his head in reverence whenever he used the name of the Lord.

Other than the presidents of Canada and Austria who were quite young, the leaders of other countries looked at Francis I with deep envy. A 70-80-year-old man was suddenly restored to his prime. Only people like them who held power but aging bodies would know how great this divine grace was. 6444

The President of the USA was overwhelmed with disappointment. The only supernatural beings whose locations were known at the moment were Christ and the old immortal. They were the most reliable candidates to help mankind, but now, both of them were unable to help due to various reasons.

Moreover, Christ was ultimately a divine being. In the Bible, it was said that Christ eventually returned to heaven after his resurrection, so the US president suspected that once Christ rose again, he wouldn’t stay long in the mortal world.

In this way, the closest country with supernatural relations was China. China also seemed to have gained some benefits from the old immortal.

The US intelligence department was not slow. They had already been aware that China had once selected hundreds of elite soldiers to carry out secret experiments.

‘Hmph! Isn’t this simply looking down on us? The President of the USA didn’t even ask me.’

The Japanese Prime Minister who had not said a word in the meeting grunted inwardly. Thinking about the chief priest who was worshiped by the Japanese government, a fire was lit in his heart.

TLN: Tsundere?

Japan was a nation that worshiped the strong. They would instinctively be humble toward those placed above them. The ancient priest who appeared in Japan was a bit arrogant and disdainful toward mortals, but in Japanese culture, they held unimaginable power. Toward such an existence, the Japanese would choose to do their best to please and even feel that his attitude was taken for granted.

‘This is a good opportunity to show how powerful we are! This is also a chance for our East Asian civilization to rise in power. Not long ago, the Supreme God of Chinese civilization displayed his almighty powers. Now, it’s time for the world to know the greatness of Amaterasu Omikami. Hmph, don’t the Koreans boast of being a cosmic nation? Why haven’t we seen their gods appear? Are there even real myths in Korea?’

Korea’s situation was indeed somewhat miserable. Without any backing, they had to be careful of what they did.

The Japanese Prime Minister only sat straight in the video call. He was already so heated up that he wanted to raise his hand and say that they could save the USA.

Towards the fantasy of saving the world, Japan was very much like America. There was always a sense of mission in their spirit.

‘No, I can’t laugh. Hold it in! Wait until the USA enters a desperate situation before saying that I have a solution.’

If it was a few decades ago, Japan would still be ambitious, but now, there were simply too many Heisei wastes and shut-ins.

“Since we cannot find a way in terms of supernatural powers, I suggest sending the navy and the airforce. This time, the monster seems to have a physical body and is still over the Pacific Ocean. We can try to use weapons to deal with it. We still have a strong army and advanced weapons. It is not yet time to despair.

The Russian president said with a fervent voice, but in fact, his words had a hidden motive. He was trying to get the United States to go to the frontlines, to test the monster called Typhon and see how strong it was.

It would be best if humans could use technological weapons to take it out. This would also give mortals more confidence. If the Typhoon was strong and human weapons were ineffective, Russia would not lose anything and it would all be shouldered by the USA.

Seven days later, Christ would be resurrected, then they could just pray to the Lord to kill the monster. Even if it did not work, they could wait until the Chinese old man recovered. Anyway, the monster would not be able to run from the Pacific Ocean to Russia in this short period of time.

The people of other countries understood the Russian president’s hidden meaning. They spoke out in support, hoping that the President of the USA would use their armed forces to kill it.

Only the leaders of Australia, New Zealand, and other countries near Hawaii were worried. If Typhon went east, it would be the USA’s problem, so it did not matter, but if the monster were to move west, then other countries would be implicated.

In the discussion of the feasibility of war against the mythical creature, the President of the USA suddenly received a message. He helplessly smiled, “Everyone, America will have to take the initiative to attack. The monster is too close to the Hawaiian Islands, the island is part of our territory and so are the people there.”

Then, the president suddenly thought of something and excitedly said, “Oh, right, there seem to be at least 200,000 citizens of various countries traveling there. I think for the sake of their respective nations, everyone should choose to support us!”

The leaders of the countries that were discussing fiercely were dumbfounded. They looked at the smug face of the President of the USA and felt depressed. Could they just say that they did not care about their own citizens and just let them die? Obviously not possible!

The United States Pacific Fleet and Airforce acted quickly.
