War with an alien civilization in a few days?
And the battleground is New York?
Everyone in front of their TVs was stunned. They considered this a minor issue?
Why didn't anyone say anything before? Where did this alien civilization even come from?
Ignoring the reactions of everyone watching, Bai Ye didn't offer any further explanation after announcing this "minor" event. He simply cut the live broadcast, leaving the audience, and the equally bewildered host, in a state of confusion.
Immediately, the entire Earth erupted. High-ranking officials from various regions were calling the White House one after another, seeking confirmation of the accuracy of these events. Was there really an alien civilization planning to invade?
But regardless of who called, the White House gave the same response: "This isn't an invasion. It's about spreading the seeds of freedom to an alien civilization, casting the democratic brilliance under Bai Ye's rule across the entire universe."
Well, now the whole world knew. It wasn't aliens invading them; it was Earth taking the initiative to conquer other planets.
Their hearts eased slightly. After all, they were the ones initiating the invasion, which meant they should be able to win, or at least not lose.
Walking out of the recording studio, Stark came up and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you could reverse superpowers? Why didn't you mention that on the live broadcast? It would have stopped a significant number of people from awakening."
"Didn't I say I recommend everyone awaken?" Bai Ye turned his head. "As the people under my rule, they don't need to know so much. They just need to choose to trust me wholeheartedly. Would I ever harm them?"
"You're testing the people…" Stark said, speechless. He hadn't expected Bai Ye to have this idea.
When people found out they could revert back to normal even if they became freaks after awakening, those who hadn't chosen to awaken would probably regret it bitterly. After all, Bai Ye was only giving this opportunity once, and then he would close off the awakening channel.
On Earth, soon after the broadcast ended, the websites for registering to awaken in various regions were immediately overwhelmed by the public.
Although the awakening of superpowers as described by Bai Ye had a lot of uncertainty, it was still superpowers!
What if others had superpowers and you didn't? Whether in work or life, you would be a step behind. Even the worst tier of superpowers would give you something to brag about on your resume. Within five hours, tens of millions of people had signed up to awaken.
Of course, in the eyes of those unwilling to sign up, this was just adding tens of millions of freaks out of nowhere. The risk was too great. Nearly 40% risk of mutation was still something people were willing to accept.
It could only be said that these people understood probability, but they didn't understand Bai Ye.
In the laboratory, standing in front of the machine that was already successfully researched, Reed looked at Bai Ye regretfully and said, "Are you really not going to continue the research?"
"What do you mean? I've already helped you with the research," Bai Ye said, resting his right hand on the machine.
"I mean, with your research talent, if we work together, we can definitely benefit all of humanity," Reed urged.
It had only taken Bai Ye a week after joining the project to build the machine that Reed had planned to take a month to complete. This was simply a natural research prodigy; it would be a waste not to have him stay and do research.
"Research is just something to do after having fun. I don't have your passion for it. If you want, you can dedicate your whole life to research. There will only be more and more research topics, and you'll never finish them all," Bai Ye said.
"Never finish them all? That's great!" Reed exclaimed, delighted.
Bai Ye, who was fed up with this research fanatic, rolled his eyes and vanished from the spot. In the chat group, Uchiha Sasuke had already sent a message.
[Uchiha Sasuke]: @Deep Blue, the other Four Great Nations, including their Hidden Villages, have already issued us a declaration of war. Do you want to come over?
Member [Uchiha's Descendant] sent a cross-dimensional application to the chat group, with a headcount of 0/1.
[Deep Blue]: Okay, I'll be right there. ... With a spatial shift, Bai Ye stood once more on the soil of Konoha. Compared to the ravaged state he'd left it in, Konoha had been completely renovated. Though still simple, it gave off a feeling of recovery... even though Bai Ye was the one who'd wrecked it in the first place. "What's the situation now? What progress have you made in these seven days?" Bai Ye turned to Sasuke. Sasuke gave a brief overview: "We've completely taken control of the Land of Fire, and the Daimyo is now our prisoner." "The four Hidden Villages have received news of your destruction of Konoha, plus the fact that we control the nation, and they've all mobilized their forces." "How many are there?" Bai Ye asked.
"Approximately fifty thousand ninja alliance troops are surrounding us from four directions," Orochimaru explained. "Tsunade and Jiraiya returned in the last few days, unable to accept the changes in Konoha and wanting to take action, but I repelled them in advance using Impure World Reincarnation."
"Oh, why didn't you mention that in the group?" Bai Ye looked at Uchiha Sasuke.
"If we have to trouble you with everything, then wouldn't we just be useless?" Uchiha Sasuke said.
He also had his pride, you know. It wasn't possible to ask Bai Ye for help with everything. Besides, Bai Ye had his own affairs. If he could solve something himself, there was no need to constantly bother Bai Ye.
"Also, there's one more thing I need to remind you. The Akatsuki organization has actually joined the ninja alliance troops now," Sasuke said.
"Huh?" Bai Ye tilted his head. Akatsuki had also joined the ninja alliance? What was going on? They weren't collecting Tailed Beasts anymore?
"Cough, perhaps Nagato is afraid that after the ninja alliance troops lose, Konan will…" Sasuke hesitated, but Bai Ye didn't need him to spell it out; he could guess what came next.
"So, I've become the public enemy of the ninja world, huh?" Bai Ye laughed in disbelief.
'After the Book of Prophecy came out, when did you, the bane of female ninjas, get the delusion that you weren't a public enemy of the ninja world?' Everyone at the scene silently scoffed.
"Alright, so the Akatsuki are joining the Allied Shinobi Forces and then splitting into four groups to surround the Land of Fire, right? Leave it to me." Bai Ye confidently took charge.
"Thank you." Sasuke turned his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "When I become Six Paths Level in the future, I'll go to the moon and help you capture Kaguya Otsutsuki."
'??? What do you mean, help me capture Kaguya Otsutsuki?' Hearing what Sasuke said, Bai Ye almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Now he somewhat regretted writing the Book of Prophecy. Even 12-year-old Sasuke saw him this way. He was afraid that not only the ninja world, but also the chat group would spread the legend of him being a silver beast.
Feeling rather awkward, Bai Ye didn't want these people to keep piling on the insults. He hastily said he was going to fight and then vanished from the spot.
Outside Konoha, with a tremor of the earth, everyone in Konoha saw a giant rock sphere carrying Bai Ye disappear in the distance.
