Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 498 - 331: The New Sun King

John Anthony, born in 2195, is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the American Federation.

His family has been military for generations.

Starting from his grandfather’s generation, his father, uncles all joined the United States military or served the military sector. John’s third uncle, Walter Anthony achieved the most, retiring from the military with the rank of lieutenant colonel and establishing a small arms company.

John himself, along with his three brothers and cousins, all joined the military or took on related jobs after reaching adulthood.

John became a Mutant at the age of 21, ten years ago.

His Professional Template was "Iron Guard".

Once in the military, John Anthony quickly demonstrated remarkable talent. In just five years, he evolved from a Primary Level Mutant to an Advanced Mutant and, through selection, joined the elite "Skyfire Assault Team" of the United States military.

In the "Skyfire Assault Team", John Anthony stood out and was honored multiple times, earning a promotion to Major within three years.

At the age of 29, he evolved into a Super Mutant.

Such talent was first-class on a global scale, and, without any accidents, he would be able to climb the Global Ladder in the future.

However, until today, John Anthony was only somewhat famous within the United States military.

Afterward, using the reason of "advanced military studies", John Anthony transferred out of the Skyfire Assault Team and entered the "Federal Air Force Academy".

Disappearing for two years, when John Anthony reemerged in the public eye, he had become the third-generation Sun King.

"A pedigree red to the core."

As Ji Xinghuo finished reviewing the information, that was the first thought that came to his mind.

Because it was intelligence gathered in haste, there was only a brief summary, so there wasn’t much content in the data.

"Have you all finished reading?" Ji Daosheng looked around the meeting room. "Let me share my opinions first."

He paused, his eyes seemingly reflecting on the distant past.

"The last Sun King succession happened in 2138. Since it was the first time, Henry Tasville’s death was very sudden, and the United States Government was caught unprepared. Several consortia fought for power and profit, leading to severe internal strife within the Federation."

"At that time, our country was on the brink of extinction. I had received information about the Sun King’s death and immediately decided to counterattack, expanding the results of the turnaround war."

"Everyone knows what happened after that."

"Without the death of the Sun King, we could not have completely driven the enemy out of Asia so quickly and established our state."

Ji Daosheng narrated slowly.

Ji Xinghuo had learned about this history from textbooks, but hearing it from someone who experienced it firsthand felt completely different. The calm and concise words carried a weight of heavy history that was profoundly moving.

Several people in the meeting room had lived through that period.

The leader’s intention was also very clear.

The first succession of the Sun King created an excellent opportunity for the nation, and the second might also be an opportunity.

If there was no Sun King, or if the new Sun King had a period of weakened power, it was essential to seize this strategic opportunity.

Yan Wenxu, Minister of the Star Realm Department, asked, "Leader, what exactly is the reason behind the inheritance of the Sun King’s power?"

"I don’t know."

Ji Daosheng shook his head and glanced at Li Hui from the Sword Bureau.

Li Hui, with a look of shame, replied, "Since day one of its establishment, the Sword Bureau has been infiltrating the United States, dedicating countless efforts and making many sacrifices over the years, but we have never obtained useful information about the secrets of the Sun King."

Ji Xinghuo was somewhat surprised.

The Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation had been planting spies in each other’s territories and engaging in secret battles for over a century; even the most top-secret intelligence would leak a bit.

Yet, the Sword Bureau had obtained nothing.

The most likely possibility was, as outsiders speculated, the secret of the inheritance of the Sun King’s power was known only to the Sun King himself.

Ji Daosheng stated, "During the last succession, there was a six-month gap from the Sun King’s death to the appearance of the new Sun King."

"In the seventh month, I had a face-to-face confrontation with Christopher." frёeωebɳovel.com

"At that time, he was already back to being a Heavenly King. However, his power was clearly unstable, and I surmise he was at Heavenly King First Dan. Even though he was just Heavenly King First Dan, his strength was very formidable, which is why he dared to show himself and participate in the war."

"In the ninth month, I had another encounter with him."

"By then he had reached Heavenly King Second Dan, and his power had become more stable."

"The next time I met Christopher was eighteen months later, by which time his power had fully stabilized, reaching Heavenly King Third Dan."

"Over the following years, I had several encounters with Christopher, and each time his strength had increased from the last, significantly stronger than the previous Henry, and he had merged several ’Flame Frenzy’ templates from the Alien Species, mastering high-temperature capabilities, with his Explosive Power also improved."

"It wasn’t until ten years later that Christopher’s rapid ascent ended, and his power plateaued."

"At that time, I thought it very likely that he would break through and advance to Shepherd Star Saint."

"But until his death today, he never made the breakthrough." Ji Daosheng said, a look of surprise on his face.

Ji Xinghuo listened with a sinking heart.

To advance to Heavenly King in six months, to Second Dan in nine, and to Third Dan within eighteen at most—such a terrifying rate of strength improvement was bone-chilling.

No wonder even the leader was concerned about such an astonishing phenomenon.

Yet, the second-generation Sun King had already been at Heavenly King Third Dan in the 1950s and, after more than seventy years, still had not made the breakthrough?

This was indeed surprising.

Or could it be that the difficulty of advancing from Heavenly King to Shepherd Star Saint was this great?

"Leader, during the six-month gap, should we do something?" Sima Hanzhang, Minister of the Security Department, said, "Such a strategic opportunity comes once in a century, and I believe we should not miss it."
