Chapter 1745

“I cannot agree to this! It’s too much!”

“Yes, I second that. It’s madness!”

“Think of the responsibilities we have to face if we did that! No one has ever used that since its existence!”

“We’ll be going against the whole world if we’re the first one to use it! Do you know how huge the consequence will be?”

……

Most people there were against the proposition.

It was like a taboo to them.

“What do you guys think we should do then? There’s less than an hour left!”

“We’re going to be the biggest laughing stock in the whole world! Think about it, a super nation that can’t even stop one man from leaving!”

“We will go into history as the nation’s disgrace! We will become the gravest sinners of the nation!” the proposer exclaimed.

Silence ensued right after.

We are already humiliated! Levi’s treating the battlefield like a playground! Zarain has no pride left!

“Hurry up and make a decision! There’s not a lot of time left!” the guy urged.

“Alright! I approve the usage of that!”

“Me too!”

“Same here!”

……

After considering the pros and cons, all the members came to an agreement.

“Wait. We can’t use it in the name of Shield, nor Zarain!” one man said.

“What should we do then?” someone asked.

“We can let Bruce activate it, make it look like it’s a personal vendetta since that man captured Bruce’s brother! If anything happens, Bruce will be the scapegoat!”

……

“Sounds good!”

“I agree! Summon Bruce over immediately!”

……

When Bruce got the news, he was dumbfounded.

“What? Are you all serious about this?”

“Yes. And you have to do it in the lab’s name! It’s time for you to contribute to the betterment of the nation! This is a unanimous decision that you cannot refuse!” the Shield representative said.

“What about my brother?” Bruce realized. “If we used that, he’ll die as well!”

“This is not the time for personal feelings! The nation’s pride is on the line! Don’t worry, the nation will remember your brother’s sacrifice!”

Bruce hesitated for a whole minute but eventually agreed.

“Alright, I’ll contact the lab right now!”

Time was of the essence, so Bruce did not give it any further thought and contacted the lab that was backing him.

Soon enough, the lab accepted the order and agreed that to take full responsibility.

With that, everything would be on Bruce and Bruce alone if anything went wrong.

“We have forty minutes before he exits the border! The weapon will be set up in fifteen minutes!”

The clock was ticking.

And then, there were only twenty-five minutes left before Levi crossed the border.

It was a barren desert at the south, and Levi dragged the two men with him as he marched forward.

There was no one in front of him to stop him.

In the eyes of everyone watching, it looked like Zarain had given up.

That said, some still thought that Zarain had something up their sleeves. They merely did not know what it was.

“Target’s locked on! Everything’s ready to go!” The lab sent out a message.

It was time. They were finally going to use it. The most powerful weapon known to them—God Scepter.
