Chapter 410: Chapter 204: Information Reproduction_2 Chapter 410: Chapter 204: Information Reproduction_2 But soon, some professional filmmakers noticed something off about the video. They began to analyze the footage on the internet, using their expert knowledge to point out that the video was not shot for a film but represented a real-life conflict. The name of the video featured the word “Destroyer,” so they compared it with previously saved videos of the Destroyer and confirmed that the contents of this video were indeed real. In other words, judging by the content of the video, the THAAD System that the United States had deployed in South Korea had definitely been destroyed, and the culprit behind this incident was the Destroyer mentioned in the title.

After this analysis by the experts, the American netizens had an epiphany and realized that they were watching footage of a real war against the United States. They vividly recalled the video released by the Destroyer about exterminating the Assassin Sect and felt a chill in their hearts. Then, they became enraged – for so long, no one had dared challenge the mighty United States, and the Destroyer was the first one. They were furious not only because the Destroyer dared to destroy the THAAD System the United States had set up in South Korea but also because he had the audacity to post the video on an American video website, which was a blatant disdain and provocation. How could this sit well with the proud American people?

Then, these individuals started flooding the official website of the US Department of Defense, demanding a reasonable explanation for the video. Of course, the US Department of Defense would not admit that the THAAD System they had deployed in South Korea was destroyed by the Destroyer, as that would be a major scandal. Their President might even be forced to step down because of it. So they repeatedly emphasized that the video was computer-generated, that its content wasn't real, and that the actual THAAD System was safely in its base in Xingzhou County, South Korea. They were certain that no one would travel to Xingzhou County to check in person and decided to focus on getting past this immediate crisis.

As for the filmmakers who doubted the authenticity of the video online, they soon received stern warnings from the White House. They felt compelled to change their tune and started praising the level of the video's production, claiming it was so high that it could easily be mistaken for reality, hence their initial mistake, and expressed relief at the progress of American film technology. Of course, some filmmakers of principle did not back down but insisted that the video depicted true events.

Under the influence of these professionals, domestic opinion in the United States began to divide, with everyone sticking to their views, yet no one able to persuade their opponents. While the United States was in turmoil over this video, some South Korean journalists based in the United States stumbled upon the video online. They treated it like breaking news, rapidly sharing it on domestic video websites without considering the consequences this video might have once it reached South Korea.

While it was daytime in the United States, it was still early morning in South Korea, but there were still some night owls among the South Korean netizens who hadn't gone to bed. They quickly noticed this peculiar video. Unlike the American netizens, the South Koreans didn't doubt the veracity of the video after watching it. Instead, they were more concerned with how their Naval Warship could be sunk by a mysterious fighter jet. Moreover, the South Korean Military Officers shown in the video appeared cowardly and timid, abandoning their comrades in the face of danger, shaming the South Korean people. How could such an army be relied upon to protect national security?

The South Korean Government, too, quickly became aware of the video's existence and took swift action to remove it from video websites, cutting off South Korean netizens' access to it. It must be said, in handling this issue, South Korea was more efficient than the United States.

After all these developments, Yan Fei had given up any hope that the supposed press freedom in Western countries would have any significant impact on the United States or South Korea. With the strong control by both countries, the upheaval caused by the Destroyer would surely settle down quickly. However, this would only make the name of the Destroyer more renowned, and when the time came for the Destroyer to speak, people would be willing to listen.

Compared to real-world prestige, Yan Fei cared more about the reputation of the Destroyer on the Dark Web. After all, many of the dealings in the underground world were not aboveboard, and the participants were almost all high-profile forces. Gaining greater discourse power among them was even more critical for Yan Fei. This process needed to be gradual, waiting for the day when a single word from the Destroyer could change the world. Only then, Yan Fei's goal would be truly achieved.

Since uploading the video to the American website, Yan Fei had disconnected the network link to Jeju Island and directed the Drone to return toward the sea outside Shanghai. To maintain secrecy, the Drone traveled entirely underwater at a depth of 600 meters, speeding along at 200 kilometers per hour. At such depths, no threat to the Drone existed for the time being, and in just over two hours, the Drone had returned to the waters outside Shanghai. It then hid in an ocean trench 80 kilometers off Shanghai, ready for Yan Fei's summon at any moment.
