The exorcism began in America.-Chapter 324 Chaos Begins

The Jade Box, which had previously appeared to be one solid piece, dissolved its upper half in just a few breaths' time.

What was revealed inside was a round, smooth groove.

A small golden koi fish played within a misty cloud.

"Is this... the Golden Spirit Jade Liquid?"

Gazing upon the slender golden fish, Chu Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of saliva in his mouth.

His body was suddenly overcome by an almost crazed, instinctual hunger.

Eat it! Eat it...

As Chu Feng unconsciously opened his mouth, the golden fish, as if it had found a desirable destination, swiftly transformed into a golden streak and entered his mouth.

GULP.

Instinctively swallowing the cool substance that entered his mouth, the Jade Box in Chu Feng's hand also seemed to have fulfilled its purpose.

It transformed into an ethereal mist and dissipated into the air.

"This... why don't I feel anything... Uh..."

Upon the Golden Spirit Jade Liquid's initial entry into his body, Chu Feng hadn't yet experienced any other sensations, feeling only a bit puzzled.

But in the next second, a sense of ascension he had never experienced before completely enveloped him.

It felt as if he were in the womb, or as though he was perched atop the clouds.

This very moment, the path to the enhancement of the Spirit Root truly commenced.

As Chu Feng was feeling the body-transformational effects of the Golden Spirit Jade Liquid, America, which had been barely maintaining a superficial harmony, finally began to descend into chaos on this day.

Perhaps it was also related to the roar of Alixius that resonated throughout the country.

With the emergence of the first Bizarre that displayed its immense power for all to see, the individual State Governments of America could no longer restrain themselves.

Or rather, the true controllers of America no longer wished to let the current situation proceed.

After all, if they continued to compromise with each other, they could maintain surface-level social stability.

However, given that resources could not be concentrated, the possibility of surviving the increasingly intense waves of Bizarre events and even preserving their current status was slim.

Those with a keen sense of smell had already sensed the danger.

Furthermore, they noticed that some shadowy figures were also growing restless.

They knew that only by reclaiming the glory of their ancestors and plundering resources from others could they possibly maintain their current status.

If it had not been for the need to amass Strength, wars might have already started.

Americans waking up early this morning suddenly felt as if they had entered a brand-new world.

In just half a day, over ten states had declared their independence.

They stared blankly at various news reports, countless questions swirling in their minds.

Americans did not understand. Based on experience, independence declarations should have dragged out for some time. They couldn't comprehend why it happened so swiftly on the day it actually arrived.

The people of the states weren't given the slightest sense of participation.

"Fuck! What's going on? Shouldn't independence be subject to a referendum? Have those damned politicians eaten my right to vote?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But clearly, no one would step forward to answer them at this time.

The government elites, America's true controllers, had already hidden themselves in bunkers or secret bases.

None would care about the thoughts of these lowly ants at such a moment.

Sending all those damned adversaries to Hell was what they needed to do most.

As for pacifying the public? That task was reserved for the ultimate victors!

"Crush them all!"

The angry controllers, within the tightly guarded underground bunker, issued the order to commence war through gritted teeth.

Beside them, the figure of a red serpent flashed past, yet no one noticed its appearance or disappearance.

"Samael..."

A whisper-like voice arose out of the void, and the shadows of war had already enveloped the land of America.

However, for some unknown reason, Texas, which should have been the first to declare independence, was now silent.

It hadn't even expressed any opinion on America's internal strife.

It was as if the powers that be in Texas had all undergone a personality change overnight.

Moreover, the other forces that had already declared independence did not attack it.

Of course, the behavior of these forces at this time might also have something to do with the Hell Creatures swarming like a tide in the south of Texas.

In Austin, Texas, within a newly occupied underground base.

"Boss, what should we do? Should we also declare independence?"

Jefferson looked at Jessica, who was still toying with the Array Plate in her hands, a trace of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

"What's the hurry?"

Jessica sipped her tea, which was emanating a misty aura, her expression calm.

"How can I not be in a hurry? This is a great opportunity!" Jefferson sat down on the sofa with a flop, anxiously scratching his head.

"The front defense wall is already complete. We also have the Boss's... uh... what was it... Fire Formation Plate. We have sufficient military strength now, so defending against those Hell Creatures is no longer a concern. If we don't seize this opportunity to take territory, we might miss our chance!"

"Oh!" After listening, Jessica nodded indifferently and then casually asked, "Do you really wish for America to be completely divided? And what do the others think?"

"Isn't division a good thing?" Jefferson replied naturally. "Besides, we're all pure-blooded Texans!"

At this answer, Jessica nodded as if suddenly enlightened, then shook her head.

Witnessing this change of expression, Jefferson's freshly formed joyful look froze.

???

"We will join the war, but not now!"

Jessica stood up, walked to the window, and squinted her eyes at the blood-red sky in the distance. "It has grown larger!"

It might not be a bad thing to let those guys think Texas is currently incapable of joining the war, I thought. They've been building up their foundation for so long; their initial offensive will undoubtedly be fierce. And... for some reason, I can't shake the feeling that this war has arrived somewhat hastily.

Meanwhile, in New York State, everything was calm and peaceful, with the public seemingly unaffected by any war.

Perhaps only the military and the high levels of the State Government knew the situation they were currently facing.

BANG.

Lin Qiu's office door was pushed open by Taran. Her deep blue pupils sparkled with an unusual light.

"The chaos has begun!"

Lin Qiu, sitting behind the desk, nodded at Taran's appearance and sighed softly.

"As we guessed!"

Then, her spirits lifted, she stood up and said coldly, "Then let's start the plan! Inform everyone: first step, together with the State Government, take complete control of New York State!"

"Understood! Soon, there won't be a trace of the Federal Government or other forces here!" Taran flashed a subtle smile and promptly turned to leave.

Listening to the receding footsteps, Lin Qiu gazed southwestward, murmuring lowly.

"We can definitely do better! The Exorcism Agency will not be outdone by anyone!"
