MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 335v2 imperial princess
Chapter 333 Children of the Stars
The first speech of John Antony, the Sun King, is over.
The theme of his speech had three points. One was to remember the previous generation of the Sun King. The other was to express his love for the motherland through his family background and military experience, inherit his legacy and be a "protector of the country." The third was to announce his visit to New Rome. Empire runs a marathon around the world.
The first two points are reasonable.
But the third point has surprised countless people.
Zhao Manying was very puzzled, "Why is the Sun King participating in the Global Marathon?"
Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
As the symbol of the American League, every move of the Sun King is not simple. Moreover, this is John Anthony’s first public event as the third-generation Sun King, and he actually chose a sports competition.
The "Global Marathon" is the most commercially valuable event on the planet besides the Super League.
The competition has four different levels of marathons.
The Classical Marathon, with a total distance of 42.195 kilometers, is only open to ordinary people; the Thousand-mile Marathon, with a total distance of 1,000 kilometers, and the contestants cannot be higher than senior extraordinary people; the Ten Thousand-mile Marathon, with a total distance of 10,000 kilometers, the highest contestant can only be a legendary extraordinary person.
Even if he is a king, if he is not good at high-speed movement and does not have corresponding abilities, his results will be ugly.
They are called "marathon strangers", and their career templates are all "flying steps".
Be both an ally and an enemy.
At least, not as strong as between the American Federation and the Western Alliance.
The new Roman Empire had no choice.
There are even aliens who specifically fuse the corresponding alien species just to participate in marathons and earn bonuses and prizes.
In the "Fourth World War", the New Roman Empire was almost destroyed by the two-sided attack of the American Federation and the Western Alliance.
Two against two, barely balanced.
If the Sun King wins the game, everyone will take it for granted, but if he loses, it will definitely damage the Sun King's glorious image, and he has just become the new Sun King, which will make people question his strength.
And negative sentiment towards APEC is rising.
The number of viewers of the Global Marathon has reached more than 10 billion. As long as you participate, you will get good exposure opportunities.
Due to religious, political and historical reasons, the New Roman Empire and the Western Alliance bordered each other, but the two sides had a **** feud.
Sometimes, the performance of the King is not as good as that of the Legend who specializes in speed, or even the Super Inhuman.
These three levels of marathons are held every year. The marathon committee cooperates with countries around the world and organizes them in turn.
In addition to the prize money, the host country of the event will also set up additional prizes, usually exotic species, expansion rare items or weapons and equipment, which are worth no less than the prize money.
The prize money for the champion of the Global Marathon has been getting higher every time. The last one four years ago exceeded 8 billion Asian dollars.
However, in general, whether it was intentional guidance from the official government or whether the pain was smoothed over over time after the war, the hostility of the people of the New Roman Empire towards the American Federation has weakened in recent years.
However, for the Sun King, participating in the Global Marathon would be a bit of a debasement and does not match his strength and status.
In the 23rd century, global geopolitics has shown a trend of two superpowers and two superpowers, which is becoming increasingly obvious. The Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation are the two superpowers, and the New Roman Empire and the Western Alliance are the two powers. Four countries form an alliance in pairs.
Participating in the competition obviously does more harm than good.
But it is extremely difficult to complete the race.
As the name suggests, the Global Marathon is to run around the earth. However, taking into account cross-sea, national borders and time difference issues, the event route does not strictly circle the earth. It is mainly set on the Asian, European and African continents, with a total distance of 40,075 kilometers, and the earth's equator. The perimeters are equal.
The New Roman Empire and the Asia-Pacific Community are allies, but this alliance is actually not stable.
Previously, the two generations of Sun Kings had not participated in a marathon.
"It's possible." Ji Xinghuo said thoughtfully, "Maybe the marathon around the world is just an excuse, and his real purpose is to visit the New Roman Empire."
Having just become the third-generation Sun King, he is using the Global Marathon as a platform to establish a strong image of himself to the global audience.
The second runner-up, third runner-up, and those who enter the top ten will all receive generous bonuses.
“Could he be participating in the Global Marathon to show off his strength?” Zhao Manying speculated.
There is no age limit for the Global Marathon, and anyone can sign up.
Similar to the three things to do when a new official takes office.
In short, the international relations between the four countries are complex and fragile.
This is related to the global political landscape.
The highest level "Global Marathon" is held only once every four years.
Although the Sun King is the strongest person on earth, he does not have an absolute advantage in terms of speed and high-speed movement over long periods of time.
There are several heavenly kings who specialize in this way, and among the legendary strong men, there are even more fast-running strangers.
Hence, the New Roman Empire could only rely on the behemoth of the Asia-Pacific Community. It avoided the country's destruction, but also lost Siberia and Central Asia. It still has a deeper fear and fear of the Asia-Pacific Community.
And he may not win.
This time there is an exception.
Now, the Sun King made his first appearance and announced that he would lead a delegation to visit the New Roman Empire, which is very intriguing.
These two countries, from the top down to the people, are unable to reconcile with each other.
Hence, it often attracts some heavenly kings to sign up.
If it becomes one-on-three, the international situation will be completely different.
Ji Xinghuo was still discussing with Zhao Manying when his phone vibrated. He picked it up and took a look, and he suddenly looked surprised.
The message was sent by the head of state himself.
Without hesitation, he stood up and said, "Manying, I'm going to see the head of state."
"Go." Zhao Manying knew that Ji Xinghuo had entered the country's core power circle and could often see the head of state, so it was not surprising.
After a while.
Ji Xinghuo arrived at the Head of State's Mansion, and the meeting place was the office where he met the Head of State for the first time.
When he entered, he found that there were only two people in the office.
“The head of state, Master Chaofeng.”
"Xinghuo is here." Ji Daosheng smiled and asked Ji Xinghuo to sit down on the sofa. Luo Yimeng, who was next to you, had eyes full of admiration and said, "Just call me Aunt Luo from now on. If you would like to call me Sister Luo, I would prefer it."
“Sister Luo.” Ji Xinghuo called immediately.
He already knew about the tenth-ranked charioteer on the Heavenly King List. Luo Yimeng was born in 2100 and is 126 years old this year, but she does not look old. If someone doesn't know her, they would think she is only in her thirties at most.
Her appearance is not stunning, and her figure is not eye-catching, but her temperament is quiet and calm, with a bit of heroism, which is unforgettable.
At this age, it is enough to be your own great-grandmother.
Most people can't say "sister" out loud, but Ji Xinghuo has no mental barriers and is thick-skinned anyway. "Hey." Luo Yimeng was very happy.
"Hahaha..." Ji Daosheng let out a burst of hearty laughter, "Xiao Luo, you are already a grandma, but you want a young man who is 101 years younger than you to call you sister. If you say it, you will be laughed at."
Luo Yimeng's face turned slightly red, but he still said, "As long as I like it, I don't care what others say."
Grandma?
Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but glance at Luo Yimeng. There were rumors on the Internet that she had been in love several times, but never got married. It turned out that she already had offspring.
But this is normal.
Many legends and kings never married, but they had no shortage of descendants.
For example, the head of state Ji Daosheng, his first wife was an ordinary person who died as early as the last century and has not remarried since. The lady and the head of state raised three sons and one daughter. These children flourished. After several generations, there are now a total of two to three thousand direct descendants of the head of state registered across the country.
However, apart from having the surname "Ji", these descendants did not receive any benefits from the head of state.
Most of them are ordinary people, and their relationship with the head of state is also very distant.
“Speaking of business.”
Ji Daosheng's smile faded and he said seriously: "Xinghuo, I called you here today because I have a task to give you."
“Please give me your orders, head of state.” Ji Xinghuo responded immediately.
"You should have just finished watching the Sun King's speech." Ji Daosheng did not immediately issue the task, but said: "What do you think?"
“The Sun King visited the New Roman Empire as soon as he inherited power, which must have deep meaning.” Ji Xinghuo said directly: “Could he want to unite the New Roman Empire and form a three-nation alliance to fight against our country?”
"Many people can see such a simple diplomatic strategy." Ji Daosheng nodded, "However, the Sun King's personal power alone cannot do it. It is not so easy to reverse international relations."
He smiled confidently.
“The fact that the Sun King is in such a hurry to visit proves one thing.”
“They began to be unable to withstand the pressure our country put on the American League, and they could only seek cooperation with the New Roman Empire.”
Ji Xinghuo said uncertainly: "One super and three strong?"
"Not bad." Ji Daosheng approved in his eyes, "From two superpowers to two superpowers, it has gradually turned into a unipolar world of one superpower and three superpowers in the 23rd century. After that, the most intense global conflict will inevitably break out. In the end, there will be only one left on the earth. A nation, a government.”
Ji Xinghuo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and knew that he had spent countless days and nights thinking hard and putting in countless efforts to achieve this goal.
If this unprecedented great undertaking can be accomplished...
Ji Xinghuo is looking forward to it.
"That's too far." Ji Daosheng recovered his thoughts and continued: "The real purpose of the Sun King's move is actually exactly the opposite of what most people guessed."
“Huh?” Ji Xinghuo didn’t understand.
“His visit to the New Roman Empire was just a cover. There may be a reason to ease the relationship between the two countries, but the most important purpose is actually to participate in the Global Marathon and get one of the alien species as the championship prize.” Ji Daosheng said.
Ji Xinghuo was shocked. He really didn't notice what the winner's prize for this round-the-world marathon was.
So immediately open the official website of the event.
Championship prize money is linked to commercial income. After the Sun King announced his participation, it has soared to more than 9 billion, and will definitely exceed 10 billion in the future.
In addition, there were dozens of prizes set up by the New Roman Empire, and the types were very rich.
Champion can choose any three from them.
Ji Xinghuo quickly browsed and found that the value of these prizes was very high, including multiple alien species, but the highest was only the ultra-limited alien species. Compared with some expansion rare items and weapons and equipment, the value was not outstanding.
"Which alien species does the Sun King want?" Ji Xinghuo couldn't find it for a while.
"this."
Ji Daosheng points to the projection.
"Star Flame Pulse." Ji Xinghuo checked the information of this alien species. The ultra-limited alien species can convert star power into a high-temperature flame in the body, forming a sharp pulse and bursting out with tyrannical power in an instant.
This is an outbreak type of alien species, and there are many similar alien species.
Obviously, many "Yan Kuang" want it, but they won't let the Sun King personally participate in the competition to get it, right?
Ji Daosheng explained: "Don't underestimate Star Flame Pulse. It is not an ordinary burst ability. Not only is it extremely rare, but more importantly, Star Flame Pulse is an indispensable part of a series of combined abilities."
“It’s actually a combination of abilities!” Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat.
The so-called "combination ability" refers to two or more specific abilities that, after being fused together, are combined into a more powerful ability.
The source of some professional templates is to imitate the combination ability, or the prerequisite of the combination ability.
The true combination abilities are all powerful and rare.
By combining abilities, a more powerful profession can be built, which is a level above advanced professions.
Some combined abilities are combined to become higher quality abilities.
For example, when several over-limit abilities are combined, the effect is exactly the same as a meteorite ability.
It can also be understood that the function of a meteorite ability can be decomposed into multiple low-quality abilities.
The higher the quality of the power, the more combined powers are needed.
The total amount of functions of a power remains unchanged. The finer the functions, the greater the number of combined powers. A dozen outstanding abilities and high-quality abilities can be combined into a meteorite ability, but if it is combined with over-limit abilities, only a few are needed.
Career advancement and template addition are also a process of combination.
Since the Star Gate was opened on Earth less than two hundred years ago, most aliens do not have access to such profound knowledge about supernatural powers, nor can they use it. Everyone only knows that combined abilities are usually related to the "ultimate profession".
Ji Xinghuo asked: "Führer, which superpower combination does Star Flame Pulse belong to?"
“Fusion.”
Ji Daosheng said two words.
Ji Xinghuo was shocked. "Fusion" is a solar eclipse mutant, and it is one of the most powerful among the solar eclipse mutants.
"What I'm talking about belongs to the secrets of the star world." Ji Daosheng said slowly, "The Sun King's professions are 'Iron Guard', 'Flying Step' and 'Fire Kuang'. The second generation Sun King has mastered psychic powers, and also For the 'Heat Stringer', these career templates and abilities are actually the prerequisites for an ultimate career, the core of which is 'fusion'."
“Fusion is a variant of solar eclipse, and the Sun King cannot get it.”
“So he can only master the ability of ‘fusion’ in disguise by combining super powers.”
"The most important thing about the fusion combination is the meteorite alien species 'Imitation Star Furnace', which was obtained by the second-generation Sun King more than 30 years ago. The fusion combination also requires several super-limited powers, including the Star Flame Pulse. "
“I don’t know how many abilities the Sun King needs, but he must not be allowed to get the Star Flame Pulse.”
“If the fusion combination is completed, the Sun King will advance to the ‘Son of the Star’.”
"This is one of the most powerful ultimate professions." Ji Daosheng said solemnly, "It is also the key to his breakthrough as a Shepherd Saint!"
