John Anthony, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Federated States of America, was born in 2195.

His family has been military for generations.

Since my grandfather's generation, my father and uncle have joined the U.S. Army or served in the military. John's third uncle, Waterl Anthony, was the most accomplished, retired from the army with the rank of lieutenant colonel and founded a small arms company.

John himself, along with his three brothers and cousins, joined the military or worked in the military as adults.

Ten years ago, John became an Inhuman at the age of 21.

His career template is "Iron Guard".

After entering the army, John Anthony quickly showed outstanding talent, and it took only five years to evolve from a junior Inhuman to a senior Inhuman, and through selection, he joined the elite unit of the U.S. Coalition Army, the "Skyfire Commando".

In the "Skyfire Commando", John Anthony distinguished himself, made many meritorious contributions, and was promoted to major in three years.

At the age of 29, he evolved into a super Inhuman.

Such a talent is also first-class in the world, and it is not surprising that it will be able to climb the global ladder in the future.

But before today, John Anthony was only slightly famous in the US military.

After that, John Anthony was transferred from the Skyfire Commando on the grounds of "military further study" and entered the "Federal Air Force Academy".

After disappearing for two years, John Anthony reappeared in the limelight and has become the third generation of the Sun King.

"The roots are red."

After Ji Xinghuo finished reading the information, the first thought that popped up in his mind.

Because the information was gathered in a hurry, it was only a brief overview, so the content of the information was not much.

"Done it all?" Ji Daosheng looked around at the people in the conference room, "Let me talk about my opinion first." ”

He paused, his eyes looking at the distant past.

"The last iteration of the Sun King was in 2138. Because it was the first time, Henry Tuswell's death was very sudden, and the US Union government was also caught off guard, and several consortia fought for power, and there was serious infighting within the US Union. ”

"At that time, our country was in the autumn of survival, and I had the information about the death of the Sun King, and immediately decided to counterattack and expand the results of the reversal war."

"Everyone knows what happened next."

"Without the death of the Sun King, we would not have been able to drive the enemy out of Asia so quickly and form our country."

Ji Daosheng said slowly.

Ji Xinghuo had learned this history in textbooks, but listening to the narration of the witnesses himself, he felt completely different, and his calm and concise words revealed a thick sense of historical heaviness, which was exciting.

There were several people in the room, all of whom had gone through that time.

The Führer's meaning is also clear.

The first iteration of the Sun King created a great opportunity for the country, and the second, most likely, is also an opportunity.

If there is no Sun King, or if the new Sun King has a period of weakness, it is necessary to seize this strategic opportunity.

The Minister of the Astral Realm, Yan Wenzhu, asked, "Führer, what is the reason for the Sun King's power inheritance?" ”

"I don't know."

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

Li Hui looked ashamed and replied: "The Sword Bureau has been infiltrating the United States since the first day of its establishment, and has paid countless painstaking costs over the years, but there has never been useful information about the secrets of the Sun King. ”

Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised.

The Asia-Pacific Community (APAC) and the Federation of the Americas (Federated States) have been secretly fighting for more than a century between the two sides of the other, and even the most top-secret information will leak a little.

However, the Sword Game gained nothing.

The biggest possibility is that it is exactly what the outside world speculates, and the secret of the inheritance of the Sun King's power is known only to the Sun King himself.

Ji Daosheng said: "In the last iteration, there was a six-month gap between the death of the Sun King and the emergence of the new Sun King. ”

"In the seventh month, I played against Criff face to face."

"He had already returned to the Heavenly King at that time, however, his power was obviously unstable, and I guess it was the Heavenly King. But even if it is the first stage of the Heavenly King, his strength is very strong, so he dares to show up to participate in the battle. ”

"In the ninth month, I had contact with him again."

"At that time, he reached the second stage of the Heavenly King, and his strength was more stable."

"It's been eighteen months since I next met Crisf, and his strength has completely stabilized, reaching the third stage of the Heavenly King."

"In the following years, I have been in contact with Criff many times, and each time my strength has improved compared to the last time, and there is a significant enhancement compared to the previous generation of Henry.

"It wasn't until a decade later that Cherve's period of rapid ascent came to an end and his power stabilized."

"At that time, I thought that he would have a good chance of breaking through and being promoted to Star Shepherd Sage."

"And then until he died today, he didn't break through." Speaking of this, Ji Daosheng's face showed a little surprise.

Ji Xinghuo was secretly frightened when he heard it.

Six months to be promoted to the Heavenly King, nine months to the second stage of the Heavenly King, and at most eighteen months to the third stage of the Heavenly King, such a speed of strength improvement is terrifying.

With such a shocking world, it is no wonder that the capital of the Yuan Yuan is worried.

However, the second generation of the Sun King was already the third stage of the Heavenly King in the fifties of the last century, and he has not been able to break through for more than 70 years?

This is a real surprise.

Or is it that the difficulty of the Heavenly King to be promoted to the Star Shepherd Sage is so great?

"Führer, in the six-month gap, are we going to do something?" Minister of Public Security Sima Hanzhang said, "This kind of strategic opportunity will only happen once in a century, and I don't think it should be missed." ”

His words were recognized by many people.

Today's global landscape is very different from that of the last century.

As the number of Inhumans increases, the overall strength of Inhumans has also increased significantly, and there are more and more legends and kings year by year, and there are winged people on the outside, although there is no big war, but now it is like the calm before the storm.

Most likely, it won't wait for the next Sun King iteration.

John Anthony is only 31 years old, and when he dies, it will be at least 80 years later.

The worst-case scenario is that this time the Sun King iteration, John Anthony breaks straight to the Shepherd Sage!

"We must nip the threat in the bud." Champion Hou Huo Keji said: "The first strike is stronger. ”

"I agree." Zhu Xiaorong raised his hand.

There are also a few people who also represent a similar point of view, and they must take advantage of the weakness of the Sun King to settle the situation in one fell swoop.

Ji Xinghuo did not express his position.

First, I am not qualified enough, so there is no need to speak in a hurry; The second is that this iteration of the Sun King may not be so simple.

Ji Daosheng looked at Wu Huai'an with a thoughtful face.

"Huai'an, what is your opinion?"

As the supreme representative of the military, Marshal Wu Huai'an had different ideas, his speed of speech was unhurried, and his voice was full of magnetism, "The last iteration of the Sun King, the United States was not prepared, and this time it may be different." ”

Xing Lie also said: "The United States official only issued an obituary today, but not necessarily, Cris died today." ”

"He also made a public appearance last month." Zhu Xiaorong frowned, "Could it be someone else pretending?" ”

Everyone in the conference room was in a state of disarray.

If the Sun King who appeared several times before to refute the rumors was fake, in fact, the real Sun King would have died a long time ago.

Then, it is likely that the Midland has set a trap and is waiting for the enemy to step in.

It is not difficult to conceal the death of the Sun King for half a year.

And the third generation of the Sun King, taking advantage of the past half a year, has returned to the strength of the Heavenly King, and it may even be longer.

"I have that in mind, too." Ji Daosheng nodded, "The Sun King iterates, and each generation is stronger than the next." This time, the Sun King's strength recovery may be faster and take less time. ”

He pointed to John Anthony on the screen.

"This John, he was transferred to the Federal Air Force Academy two years ago."

"I guess that many young people like him who are talented, have a suitable career, have an excellent family background, have perfect conditions in all aspects, and meet all the requirements, should have many people participating in the competition of this iteration of the Sun King."

"He may have passed through layers of selection and stood out from many candidates."

"If that's the case......"

Ji Daosheng was a little worried on his face, "Then it can be seen that Midland has made sufficient preparations for this iteration of the Sun King." ”

"Führer." Li Hui hurriedly stood up, "This is my dereliction of duty." ”

The Federation of the Americas secretly selected candidates for the Sun King, but the Sword Bureau did not get the slightest information, and it really shouldn't be.

The Sun King is dead or not, and there is no information at all.

Ji Daosheng didn't blame, "In the past year or two, the Sword Bureau has been caught up too much attention by the Qianyuan Society, and it is inevitable that there will be some negligence. ”

Li Hui sat down with a look of shame.

At this time, Wu Huai'an said: "Führer, my opinion is to stand still. The obituary said that the new Sun King would appear at Cruff's funeral, and we sent a delegation to the state funeral to find out what he was like. ”

"Yes."

Ji Daosheng looked at Foreign Minister Luo Keding, "Keding, you take someone to St. Louis on my behalf." Cleve has been my rival for many years, and although he is not a friend, he should be remembered for his death. ”

"Yes, Führer." Roctin replied loudly.

"We're going to have to do both." Ji Daosheng said again: "On the one hand, if this John Anthony is already the king of heaven, we will not move; On the other hand, if he is only a silver wax spear head, then give Thunder a blow. ”

He named a few names.

"Baoguo, the master of the torture hall, Xiaorong, Yimeng, you are all ready these days." Ji Daosheng's face was serious.

"Yes." Several Heavenly Kings all received their orders in unison.

"Huai'an Ling has a good military plan." Ji Daosheng looked at Wu Huai'an again, "If this Sun King dies, to prevent the situation from getting out of control on the side of the United States, we must be fully prepared." ”

"I understand." Wu Huai'an nodded.

Ji Daosheng gave orders to several departments, and then ordered the meeting to be dismissed.

From beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo did not speak, followed Li Hui out of the administrative building, and arrived at the headquarters of the Sword Bureau, Li Hui also began to get busy, mobilizing the swordsmen lurking in the United States to spy on more information.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Ji Xinghuo returned to the Aether Research Institute.

Continue to cultivate.

In the next two days, the Internet was full of news, all kinds of true and false news and rumors.

With the exception of a eulogy issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the announcement that a delegation would be led by Roctin to attend the state funeral of the Sun King, there has been no movement from other APAC, but many people are aware of an undercurrent.

The state funeral of the Sun King was livestreamed worldwide.

It's daytime on the American side, and it's night on APAC.

Ji Xinghuo watched with Zhao Manying at home, and in July, the first half of the Super League ended and entered the two-month summer offseason, so she was with Ji Xinghuo almost all day these days.

The solemn state funeral lasted more than two hours.

On the screen, the sun king known to everyone in the world, Christf Hollinch, is lying in a coffin, his body is still strong, his face is calm and serene, but there is no trace of life as a living person.

Until the end of the state funeral, a tall and muscular young man in a black suit with meticulously combed hair came to the stage.

In front of many American Union dignitaries, kings, celebrities, including presidents, speakers and others, as well as delegations from various countries, he did not have the slightest stage fright, looked directly at the camera and said: "Everyone, I am John Anthony, a United States citizen. Today, as the heir to the Sun King, I remember Mr. Christph Hollinch......"

At this moment, the eyes of tens of billions of people around the world fell on this young man.

John Anthony!

The name immediately spread all over the world, and everyone knew it.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the third-generation Sun King on the screen, his first impression was that he was sunny, majestic, righteous, and had an extraordinary temperament, although he was giving a speech at a funeral, he did not have the slightest sense of gloom, as if he had a dazzling halo on his head.

His speech was clearly mostly rehearsed.

His expression happens to be everywhere, sad when he should be sad, serious when he should be serious, and occasionally he will say a innocuous little joke that triggers good-natured laughter and closes the distance between the audience and the hundreds of millions of viewers.

His posture and gestures when speaking are very standard, and the emotions contained in his tone are also very full, and he cannot find any flaws.

Everything was impeccable.

If there is only one word to describe him, it is "perfect"!

He fits perfectly with people's impression of the Sun King, whether they are American citizens or not, they will feel that this is the image of the strongest person on earth.

Ji Xinghuo watched quietly.

Zhao Manying suddenly said: "This person's performance is a bit excessive, and it feels unreal to me." ”

After fusing with the True Eye, not only did she increase her strength, but she was also able to see many details that were difficult for ordinary people to see and imperceptible in aspects of her daily life that were not related to combat.

Sometimes with a single look, she can read a wealth of information.

Ji Xinghuo also has a similar feeling.

He thought for a moment, "You mean he's hypocritical?" ”

"Hypocrisy is inaccurate." Zhao Manying frowned her good-looking eyebrows, "He is suppressing his own nature, but he is limited to some kind of constraint, and he doesn't dare to fully show it for a while, so he can only act according to the script." ”

Ji Xinghuo somewhat understood.

He said: "Becoming the Sun King, making his first appearance, there will definitely be countless people who analyze his micro-expressions and judge his character. It is possible that he deliberately performed like this to confuse the public. ”

"I don't know, after all, through the screen, there will be distortion." Zhao Manying was not sure.

John Anthony's speech is coming to an end.

Towards the end, the new Sun King suddenly said: "On July 20, I will lead a delegation to visit the New Roman Empire, and in Ivangrad, I will sign up for this year's Global Marathon." ”

Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo was stunned, and Zhao Manying's face was also surprised.
