I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 319. Joint Task Force
Chapter 319: 319. Joint Task Force
Before departing to the Otherworld, Li Yuanzhong had imparted two spells to Lu Li—the "Earth Stone Dragon" and the "Green Silk Tribulation."
The former solidified earth into a combative force, while the latter transformed hair into a weapon.
On his journey to the Capital of the Star Alliance Country, Lu Li managed to master the "Earth Stone Dragon" along the way.
As the name suggests, this spell used earth and sandstone as the focus of the Spirit, forming the "Dragon of Earth and Stone."
At first glance, it seemed similar to the "Mystic Yellow One Qi Capture," but the destructiveness of earth certainly couldn’t match that of a Metal Ball.
However, people always encounter inconvenient moments; carrying Metal Balls constantly isn’t feasible, so the "Earth Stone Dragon" is used in such situations.
The materials for the spell were readily available everywhere, making it a formidable restriction against enemies.
It was a lifesaving means in emergencies, and truly, Li Yuanzhong was thorough in his considerations.
Lu Li didn’t disappoint either; he practiced diligently during his journey and was set to further refine his skills in actual combat.
The Star Alliance Country finally took serious action, gathering a sizable force, ready to completely suppress Lu Li!
~~~~~~~~~~
In the Capital of the Star Alliance, inside the Oval Office of the "White Mansion."
The high-ranking officials of the Star Alliance Country congregated to discuss the sudden terrorist attack.
"I don’t understand. It has been a full 24 hours, and these terrorists are still at large?"
The President was a well-proportioned man with profound eyes and dark skin.
But at this moment, his mood was obviously sour, and he inquired in a deep voice,
"Gentlemen, I need an explanation! Why are the terrorists still alive? Even daring to threaten to attack the Capital! What is the military doing?"
As these words were uttered, everyone turned to look at Marlon, the "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."
The matter involved counterterrorism; the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and even the Foreign Affairs Bureau, could be implicated.
But the President pointedly mentioned the military, clearly using the situation to make a point.
There had been significant disagreements between the two parties concerning military costs in Azerbaijan recently.
And Marlon was not someone to be trifled with; he spoke for the military, and even nuclear launches had to go through him.
At this moment, the general, with a stoic expression, deflected the issue,
"The main reason for failing to encircle the terrorists was delayed intelligence. The Foreign Affairs Bureau had already received news of the impending attack, but chose not to disclose it."
Suddenly, it was Deputy Director Charles’s turn to be in a tight spot.
While communicating with Lu Li, he had indeed sensed something was amiss.
But Charles had never imagined that Lu Li could achieve such a feat!
The key issue was that the military had come to know of it, putting him instantly on the defensive.
At the crucial moment, the President intervened,
"What’s done is done. What I need now is all of you working together, using the fastest method to eliminate these terrorists! Gentlemen, the whole world is watching us!"
With these words, he managed to steer the discussion back to the main issue.
Marlon spoke earnestly,
"Mr. President, the ’Joint Task Force’ in charge of defending the Capital is ready. We just need your full authorization to eliminate the terrorists!"
The President waved his hand decisively, "General, you have my authorization. Resolve this matter as soon as possible!"
...
The "Joint Task Force" responsible for defending the Capital already had extensive authority, capable of mobilizing more than a dozen special forces units from the Special Operations Command.
With the President’s authorization, they were surely set to make a significant impact.
The meeting was adjourned, and the high officials quickly dispersed.
Only Deputy Director Charles remained behind.
The President, loosening his tie, cursed,
"The Chief Justice’s nomination is obstructed, the midterm elections will lose us the Congress, isn’t there a single thing going smoothly!"
He pulled out a packet of powder, placed it on the back of his hand, and sharply inhaled it through his nose.
Witnessing this scene, Deputy Director Charles’s face showed no surprise, accustomed as he was to such behavior.
This president was recruited as a spy by the Foreign Affairs Bureau during his student days, and his mother was even a professionally trained seductress spy.
Everyone had been close allies for a long time and understood each other well.
The president quickly recovered with the help of a pharmacological effect and asked, "Does the leader of the terrorists have superpowers?"
Deputy Director Charles nodded, "The analysts believe there’s a 60% probability."
"Another freak."
The president cursed, his face showing no emotion.
No matter the creature, an increase in numbers always leads to mutations.
Superpowers were not uncommon in human history, with major powers beginning their research during World War II and reaching its peak during the Cold War.
But as technology advanced, x-ray machines replaced human insight, and no clairvoyant could compare to satellites, and long-distance messaging was far outdone by cell phones.
All superpowers had better technological alternatives, so related research naturally cooled down, with only a few receiving support.
Deputy Director Charles said, "I will suggest to the military to try capturing him alive to accelerate projects like the Spirit Agent."
The president nodded slightly and said, "That’s a good suggestion, go ahead with it."

Meanwhile, Lu Li was encountering some trouble.
Six Flying Swords had just finished refining the Spirit Mechanism and awakened, then simultaneously transmitted the emotional wave of "hunger" to their owner.
There was still some Spirit Mechanism inside them that hadn’t been refined; they definitely didn’t mean that.
Lu Li hurriedly channeled his Spirit and inner breath toward them. The Flying Swords accepted it, but they kept crying "hungry" with increasing urgency!
Lu Li was quite puzzled; what exactly did the Flying Swords want to eat?
Fortunately, with a deep connection between them, the Flying Swords received unlimited Spirit Mechanism, and their spirituality greatly increased.
They then conveyed what they wanted to eat to their owner through thoughts—
"Golden and shiny... Gold!?"
Feeling the thoughts transmitted by the Flying Swords, Lu Li instantly determined what they needed was indeed gold!
Recalling that the Martial Arts Golden Body cultivation also required gold, Lu Li suddenly speculated:
"The Flying Swords want to evolve with the same need for gold!"
"Right~ Sister Xia’s dowry also needs gold; it’s the perfect time to rob some from the Capital of the Star Alliance." freёwebnoѵel.com
He checked his phone’s map, only about 200 kilometers away, not far.
"A national capital, must have hundreds of tons of gold, right?"
Lu Li plotted his destinations on the phone map, targeting banks and jewelry stores, treating the Star Alliance Country like a supermarket.
Such humiliation seemed to resonate with the fate of a nation.
Just then, a thunderous rumbling of engines came from the sky, as ten F16 fighter jets tore through the air attacking!
Lu Li quickly slapped his backpack, releasing his Flying Swords:
"Turn this hunger into momentum, attack!"
The six Flying Swords, eager only for the gold needed to evolve, were nonetheless completely unfazed in combat prowess.
At that moment, they zoomed through the sky, striking directly upwards!
Their speed had significantly increased, reaching 650 meters per second, approaching twice the speed of sound.
This was due to the enhancement from refining the Spirit Mechanism, and if they successfully transformed with gold, they would surely break twice the speed of sound, achieving a qualitative upgrade!
But for now, they needed to deal with these aerial obstructions.
If converted to hourly speed, the F16’s speed is about 2000 kilometers per hour.
While the Flying Swords reach 2400 kilometers per hour, a whole 20% faster.
However, the enemy wasn’t just air forces!
At this moment, a 5000-person armored troop was already following behind the fighter jets.
After bombing, they would immediately press forward.
They were treating Lu Li just like a formal army!
