Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Yes, We Caught the Shadow King
Shen Hao finally had time to check the items in the Point Mall on his way back.
The more he looked, the happier he became.
The Point Mall truly was the “normal path of progression.” Even if all the items were of White level, each increase in level represented an elevation in power tiers.
Moreover, it covered three domains, three paths!
Shen Hao even saw the possibility of large-scale detection of Blood Demons within!
However, it seemed it would no longer be needed domestically.
The battle in Coastal City was not just about eliminating one Matrix, followed by tracing and eliminating four others.
It almost signified the nation’s stride towards victory in the war!
It indicated that within this country, the Blood Demons no longer had any chance to struggle!
At this moment, following the news Shen Hao shared and confirming that no other Blood Demon Mothers could be found shortly, a globally-oriented war report press conference was officially underway!
As soon as the news was announced, the eyes of the world converged here.
After all, with the day’s events fermenting, people across the globe knew of the existence of the Shadow King. Countless individuals fervently discussed every phrase uttered by the Shadow King, with various opinions spreading rapidly online!

And merely one day after the Shadow King sought dialogue, news about the battle in Coastal City from the Eastern Country was broadcasted again.
How could this not lead to speculation!
At this very moment at the war reporting news conference, it was swarming with reporters from around the globe!
Even before it had begun, the internet was already teeming with diverse opinions.
Many even bypassed firewalls to watch the domestic livestream.
This directly resulted in a substantial presence of foreign languages in the domestic live comments.
“God, let’s hope it’s good news.”
“I hope they aren’t accepting the agreement.”
“Do not accept the agreement! Please don’t! We’d be doomed!”
“The Eastern Country has become the hope for all of humanity!”
“Can someone tell me how to move to the Eastern Country? Our family is quite wealthy, with several million in assets!”
“I’m fed up with the awful news around here, hoping for some good news here.”
“…”
As some have said, with the onset of this civilization war, the Eastern Country certainly became unique, distinctly special.
Even though other countries had been fervently promoting the Eastern Country’s victory lately, something unprecedented before, they were also worried about their own citizens losing hope.
At this time, the domestic netizens were rather serene as they had already obtained the latest news from various sources.
At least, as early as this afternoon, there had already been no more sounds of gunfire in Coastal City!
Although some areas were damaged and others were still burning, overall, the city was moving towards calm.
The outcome of the battle was clear.
What concerned them more was whether this battle was related to the Matrix who had proclaimed herself the Shadow King.
Moreover, would Shen Hao eventually show up, and if so, would he agree to the condition proposed by the Shadow King!
Finally, when the servers could barely handle the tremendous pressure from the overwhelming attention, the spokesperson stepped up.
Standing before the podium, with no unnecessary pleasantries, only after the hall had quieted down, he slowly began to speak:
“We know that many of you have already guessed the content of this press conference, yes, we have captured the being self-proclaimed as the ‘Shadow King,’ the Blood Demon Mother!”
“….”
Silence, after these words fell, the venue experienced a deathly stillness.
Then, at a certain moment, a thunderous uproar exploded all over the place.
Countless flashlights lit up, one reporter after another stood up with microphones, asking all sorts of questions in various languages of the world, excitedly and loudly.
The order of the venue even collapsed momentarily!
But the Eastern Country had captured the Shadow King!
The Blood Demon Mother, who had released videos online seeking dialogue, claiming to be the leader of the Eastern Country Blood Demons, and attempting to threaten Shen Hao, had been captured by the Eastern Country in just one day?!
Remember, during this day, the entire world was guessing how the Eastern Country would respond, speculating what Shen Hao would decide!
All neighboring countries had even declared a state of emergency at the borders, frantically mobilizing armies, and voicing out wildly under various circumstances!
Voice from around the world just couldn’t stop!
Many people speculated that Shen Hao would agree, for the sake of his own country, and many believed the Eastern Country would refuse, for the sake of the war for all of humanity! Some even thought the Eastern Country would fall into chaos, as countless people would hope to accept this condition.
However, very few people believed that the Eastern Country, in less than a day, would capture the Shadow King!
Less than a day!
“Quiet, quiet!” The spokesperson loudly maintained order, and after a long time, the excited reporters finally calmed down, their faces flushed as they looked at the spokesperson, almost unable to control their emotions, desperate to know everything immediately!
“After the Blood Demon released the video, we used online methods and offline investigations, succesfully pinpointed this Mother’s location in the shortest time, right in Coastal City,” the spokesperson seemed to understand the emotions of everyone around the globe, and now wasn’t the time to hold back information, he directly provided the most concise explanation of the entire process.
Simultaneously, on the big screen behind him, footage began to appear.
It was the footage of Shen Hao arriving at Coastal City!
“After pinpointing the city, Squad Leader Shen Hao arrived immediately, and in the shortest time got to grips with the Blood Demon infiltration in the city. At the same time, the self-proclaimed Shadow King Blood Demon Mother attempted to prove its threat, brazenly launched a violent attack on the entire city, and after our evacuation, a total of fifteen thousand Blood Demons surged at the same time.”
Images appeared showing every Blood Demon on the streets of the city, causing a sensation amongst the attendees again.
But soon, gunshots rang out, fully armed Eastern Country soldiers also appeared in greater numbers, their movements precise!
Bullet after bullet furiously unleashed upon all the Blood Demons.
Scenes like this were not isolated, they kept appearing!
There were even battles involving the Chosen Ones, it seemed as if the whole city had instantly turned into a fierce battlefield!
Even the residents of Coastal City, though they had experienced it all, watched with their hearts in their throats.
Most of these people, only at this moment, truly understood what had happened in their city!
War was right beside them! If the army had lost, they couldn’t imagine what would have happened to them!
However, they had won!
“The Blood Demons tried to threaten us with death, tried to provoke fear, they even attacked our refueling stations recklessly, wanting to turn the entire city into a sea of fire, but clearly, they severely underestimated our power, underestimated our resolve to defend our homes and our people! It also proved that their threats were nothing more than ludicrous delusions!” declared the spokesperson with unwavering certainty, “We showed all the Blood Demons with facts—we do not accept threats! We do not fear battle! We do not dread sacrifice! And we will inevitably achieve victory in this war!”
