"Don't be scared. I have no intention of causing unnecessary conflict now. "
L smiled in the thick smoke. It was as if she's looking straight into him.
"Thank you"
In reaction to her response that she did not want to cause useless dissension, he tried very hard to not say what he wanted to say. He tried to erase it even in his head.
'A single carrier, a nuclear missile base, and 1,100 hunters attacked you and died, so that's the damage we have to deal with. The people in Los Angeles and Arizona became homeless because of you. A lot of Las Vegas Citizens and Iman's citizen's died had died along with the small cities you erased from the map happened overnight because of you!"
If he was a human, he would have immediately got up and grabbed her.
"You have a lot to say?"
Discovering the vast Absolute power flowing out of her eyes, he shook his head, swallowing his dry saliva.
"No, no."
"No? Well, I'm also angry because of what your United States did in my land. So I understand."
"Oh, uh."
The cameraman signaled to ask if he could continue to broadcast it live and Mark Twell nodded with a firm look. The government has repeatedly emphasized that anything harmful to the US government should not be broadcasted, but there was no command to stop the other person from saying it first. He honestly wanted to know himself what caused this.
"What did our America do?"
"Yes. The crack of dimensions or a gate as you call it. I know it can't be helped to come and go because the gate is open. It doesn't matter if you kill monsters. Elus monsters also went to Earth and killed many people."
"Yes. Humans on Earth once talked of the destruction of the human race because of the monsters of Elus and Dark Earth."
"I know, but I also couldn't help it. It was hard for me to interfere with the cracks between dimensions. "
"You could not control the monsters at the time of the Great Fusion?"
"That was beyond my level of control. Can you control all living things on your earth?
"We cannot."
"The same is true. All I can do is give a simple command to one monster as far as my power can reach."
He was a little puzzled by L's att.i.tude. She was surprisingly simply talking about her limits
Even though Mark was interviewing her like this, she was still an enemy. Was she letting her guard down? Or was she confident enough that she could just straight up tell it? He decided to dig a little more.
"About what degree is it?"
L smiled at Mark's question. He was asking her to tell him her limitations, and she decided to give in generously. Either way, controlling monsters were only part of the few of her abilities. If they would do something stupid, she was confident that she could show the destructive power of a nuclear missile that she teleported a while ago.
"Gather together, dismiss, attack, stop, eat and rest, that's about it."
"I see. Thank you for the honest answer. So what did the United States do to Elus? Mark Twell cleverly asked.
Elus was, anyway, a land that the world was paying attention to as a new world.
Also, the existence of another species at Elus was widely known, but many thought of them as barbarians rather than conversation partners. This understanding was intentional to some extent; it was an indispensable factor for the pioneering of the new world.
Also, whatever the truth, he was still a citizen of the United States.
Depending on how the dragon speaks, the United States could be ridiculed from all over the world or criticized to have deserved the attacks.
At his inquiries, L slowly began to tell a story about a cultural mission from the United States.
And when she was done, Twell, who was a little nervous, asked her again.
"As you have said, we know that there are no more than 100 elders who died on your side. Of course, the weight of life is beyond that number. However, your damage to our country is far more than 10,000."
"Are you saying it's unfair because more people died here?"
"Yes, I think it's unfair and instead of using such violent means, we could converse our way into reconciliation."
"Conversations? How so?"
"Because conversations are only possible between most civilized species and a means to most peaceful…"
"Hohoho. You think you are capable of conversing with me?"
"If we are not having a conversation right now, what else is it?"
"Do you think you can have a proper conversation with the cats and dogs you have? Because the dog is barking, do you consider them to be an equal conversational partner?"
"We are not dogs."
"From my point of view, you or dogs are not much different"
The opponent may be offended, but L was not necessarily trying to play nice.
Because it's true.
"Well, okay. Dogs… Since you are managing a world and is a G.o.d-like being, it is understandable that you would describe us that way, but I don't believe this is right. If you consider the future relations between Elus and Earth, you could show a little more mercy."
L frowned.
"Hah… so annoying"
"What do you mean…"
"It's not that your thoughts are entirely wrong. Okay, I'll show you a little bit of what I am planning to do" As she said this, a golden aura came out of her and into his body.
After a moment, his face darkened.
As if decades of time had pa.s.sed, his eyes seemed like they were rotting.
"Did you see well?"
"W...Why?"
"Do you understand why I call you dogs now? I just wanted to show you"
"Haaa…haa…. I understand."
Mark waved his hand at the cameraman to end the broadcast.
The cameraman looked at him in confusion, but Mark was not in a good place to explain everything right now.
L was too annoyed to try to explain everything in human words, so she made him experience everything, and the things she showed him were…
"Invasion…"
"No. Sure, selecting from the words you use. You reap what you sow. Just as you Americans drove out the natives who you thought were inferior, I plan to drive you out. I will do exactly what the US tried to do in Elus…"
"Humans are not that weak." Now, Mark Twell decided not to persuade her or think of building a good relations.h.i.+p.
She showed him what she was going to do. All the monsters in America would start an organized attack from now on. It's quite different from the previous raids. What he saw was war.
The fight with monsters would now enter a new phase.
"I know. I saw it a lot through TV. It was pretty fun. In that sense, I will give you a chance. A month should be enough."
"One month?"
"Yes, just like what you saw, I'll start there so do everything that you could do in the meantime."
She speaks as if she was giving generously, but she knows it. She was now trying to instill greater despair at them.
"You will regret it."
"Hoho. I think you are over-trusting this thing called nuclear bombs"
"We have many other weapons other than nuclear bombs. The human will is not that easily run over. Can you really handle all this?"
Mark Twell got up from his seat. He took a peek at L, but she was not even considering him as a conversation partner.
Now was time to go back quickly and announce what the dragon would do.
"It's human beings, burning again when everything turns into ash, but I will even pull that wick out."
"Thank you for the interview."
"No worries and oh, I'll give you a present on the way home."
"A gift…?"
At L's words, Mark Twell's face hardened. His instincts told him that something feels bad.
"I will show you some of my strengths to make it easier for you to plan."
Her gaze turned towards the camera. "The Magical Dragon Gold Dragon is..."
Her golden eyes shone brightly.
"Capable of things like this."

[G.o.d's wrath brought by human arrogance.]
[BBX Broadcast Catastrophe! The greatest viewers.h.i.+p ever made turns into the worst disaster ever.]
[30% of live viewers became vegetables, The damage count cannot be calculated. Those who are not in vegetative state complain about pain.]
[Unknown cause! Ministers, including the US president who has become a vegetative man... Even the White House is in a vegetative state!]
[Please explain the cause of this incident. The cry of the World toward America!]
[Gold Dragon L's army begins to advance. The deadline is one month!]
[Archer Master still silent! Have you given up?]
One day had pa.s.sed since the world's astonis.h.i.+ng so-called L Curse Day. Interestingly, the live interview with the Dragon broadcasted on BBX was limited to the United States, Canada, and some other countries. Because BBX, which was only friendly to the US government and the ruling party, won the exclusive interview as well as acquired the broadcasting rights, it was rather a good thing because the vegetative state catastrophe was limited to that handful of countries.
But aside from this, the US had another nagging issue.
[The Great Catastrophe Caused by the US's Aggressive Ethnic Policy]
[The secret information, what US is hiding must be disclosed to the world.]
The United States has been keeping confidential information about the Elus' species.
Externally, the information has been controlled and monopolized by the reason that it could be used by unwarranted forces. The public opinion had been raised to criticize US policy as it was now attacked by L because of what it had done.
