Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 1012: Chapter Fifty-One: Secretary Chen Lingyun

From a geopolitical standpoint, once Orochi appears in the world, Chongying will undoubtedly be the first to suffer.

With Chongying’s downfall, the next targets would be nearby Goryeo, Lu Country, and the Northern Border. A mere strait won’t be enough to stop a monster of such terrifying power.

Therefore, Ueyama Ichirou’s decision not to go to Miti but to specifically seek assistance from Lu Country isn’t without reason. In his view, Orochi is undoubtedly a common threat to the entire East Asia in the short term, though it might be a long-term threat to all humanity. However, the Western World has always been fickle and may not see that far.

From the Privy Council’s perspective in Lu Country, standing alone against Orochi would be a significant loss.

Previously, the Southern Border faced a flying Ba demon, which turned a thousand-mile radius into a swamp where it fell, creating a death zone between the Central South Peninsula and Lu Country’s border.

Until now, no method has been found to neutralize the toxins and miasma within that area. Sunlight and wind can’t penetrate it; birds and beasts have vanished, vegetation has withered, and even microorganisms cannot survive there. It can be said to be entirely dead.

Based on this, whether Orochi dies on Lu Country’s mainland or in the West Pacific, it’s a significant loss for Lu Country either way. The former goes without saying, and if the latter’s corpse pollutes the East Sea, leading directly to severe damage to Lu Country’s fishing and shipping industries, it is also an unacceptable outcome for the Privy Council.

So the best solution is undoubtedly to lure this ticking time bomb away from Chongying, out of the West Pacific currents, and preferably to an island to kill it, to avoid the pollution spreading along the currents and eventually back into Lu Country’s territorial waters.

As for this island, it should be sparsely populated to avoid heavy casualties and humanitarian pressure; ideally, it should have vast deserts, as deserts inherently have low utilization value, so pollution wouldn’t matter.

A sparsely populated island with deserts that is relatively close to the East Asia region, to facilitate luring Orochi… is there one?

After a phone conversation with Lu Country’s Privy Council, Miti quickly provided an answer.

Yes, such an island certainly exists.
