Chapter 451 Slipping Through
The last group to show up were the officials of the airship—the captain and a few other high-ranking officers.
Their uniforms looked brand-new , with patches that showed off their ranks, and they moved to the front where all the cameras were waiting.
They made sure to dress well for this occasion, because they planned to create a documentary showcasing their first successful mission.
They would broadcast it across the continent to boost everyone's morale.
It might sound boastful, but this was actually a strategy devised by the higher-ups, who recognized the importance of giving the population hope.
In a time of uncertainty, a well-crafted narrative of victory could reignite faith in humanity's resilience and strength.
Of course, this could also backfire. If, for some reason, they failed, the repercussions would be dire.
But looking at the Behemoth's capabilities, it was hard to fathom a scenario where they would lose.
"Thank you all for being here today," the captain began, his voice strong and steady."
"My name is Captain Thomson ,and I'm honored to introduce you to the Behemoth. "
"This ship is the pride of Tempest Fort and a symbol of humanity's fight against the corrupted that have destroyed our world. We're not just here to showcase our technology; we're here to show that change is coming."
As Captain Thomson finished his introduction, excitement surged through the journalists gathered around.
But the excitement extended far beyond them; the entire city of Green Valley was also tuned in.
Whether in homes, on smartphones, or in coffee shops—were all glued to the live telecast.
Classes were paused, kids glued to their phones, teachers abandoning lessons to watch this moment.
As the atmosphere thickened with anticipation, the journalists eagerly raised their hands, ready to fire off their questions.
Captain Thomson gestured to one of the reporters, it was Cassy.
"Captain, can you tell us more about the capabilities of the Behemoth?
"This airship is equip with state-of-the-art weaponry and advanced shielding systems, it's designed to withstand powerful attacks that could level a city," He explained, though he didn't delve into the specifics.
While this was happening, the threat they were discussing had already infiltrated the airship.
Reign quickly took out a guard and disguised himself as one.
It worked perfectly to his advantage that most of them kept their helmets on, allowing him to avoid detection for the time being.
Plus, everyone was so focused on the interviews and the excitement outside that no one paid attention to him.
'How easy would it be to sabotage this place right now? But where's the fun in that? '
He wanted to make a statement.
Destroying this giant airship with overwhelming force would send a clear message: the new Demon King was in town, and he wasn't someone to be messed with.
The more epic and one-sided his victory was, the more fear he would instill .
He continued walking deeper and deeper. From the outside, it might have looked like he was just killing time until Celine and the others got out of the city.
But the truth was, he had come here for another reason.
He wanted to check if they had brought any Meta-Humans on board.
To him, their presence was the one thing he needed to worry about most.
Why ?
Because meta-humans' powers could not be measured by traditional means, as they were simply too broken and unpredictable.
For example, even if he was strong, if he fought someone who could kill him by just uttering the word "Die," then that would be the end of it.
It might sound like an outrageous ability, but it wasn't entirely impossible.

Their powers defied logic and conventional understanding, after all.
"Hey, you. Stop!" a voice echoed from behind.
When he turned around, he saw a woman in an orange jacket meant for engineers.
