I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 438: Hawaii Is Probably Safe

The Hawaiian Islands, formed by a series of volcanic eruptions, were treated as a single state within the USA. Hawaii itself was the largest island in this zone, and the entire archipelago was located in the center of the Pacific Ocean.

The capital of Hawaii was Honolulu on the island of Oahu with a population of one million. The island’s cities were modern with a strong American character. The entire island also provided military service for the United States Pacific Fleet.

Hawaii had always been a world-renowned tourist mecca, and Honolulu was one of the main destinations.

No matter what time of the year it was, there were travelers from all over the world on Oahu.

At the international airport south of Honolulu, a Boeing 787 landed. With the airport announcement, a group of travelers wearing the same style of baseball caps with several guides holding small flags stepped off the plane and came to the baggage office to pick up their luggage. Then they followed the guides out of the airport and onto the bus to their prepared hotel.

Supernatural powers had run rampant around the world and the extinction of mankind had been close at hand not long ago, but humans were very forgetful and eager to enjoy life. As long as the end of the world did not come today, then people would return to their normal daily lives.

Since the emergence of supernatural powers as well as ancient mythological figures, tourism was instead thriving.

No matter which country it was, young people were always fantasizing that they could be protagonists. They were full of excitement to touch on the tiny possibility of being lucky. Maybe they might encounter mysterious events if they were to go to temples or churches and gain extraordinary powers.

If this was still a conjecture in the past, it had now turned into conviction ever since the magic academy began recruiting students to teach humans how to use magic. Theorists had completely shut their mouths now that Earth’s mortals could use magic. This alone had dispelled all doubts.

The temples of the gods of Olympus in Greece, the Toaist temples of the three mountains in China, the Sumerian ruins between two river basins, the various temples of Jerusalem, the pyramids of Egypt, the relics of the ancient Mayan civilization in South America, and even the holy sites of the indigenous groups in Africa were all visited by people incessantly.

Among the various countries, Greece was the happiest with the huge influx of tourists. It was already bankrupt and was now relying on the European Union. With tourism increasing, the national financial crisis had been alleviated. On the other hand, the most miserable was the USA due to only having 100-200 years of cultural heritage. Now, everyone only loved to go looking for ancient relics, who was still willing to go see the United States’ Capitol Hill?

The exception to this was Hawaii. It was a place of leisure and entertainment for people with spare money and time to travel. They were not only there to recuperate their bodies and mind, but also to have fun with their friends and family.

At Hawaii’s most important airport, tour groups could be seen anytime, but this one was a bit strange.

This tour group did not belong to a country, but it was a regional tour group with members from Asian countries gathered together. There were also three guides who spoke three different languages.

Since the United States lost power in East Asia with the Okinawa base being destroyed, Takarajima was not politically suppressed, causing the island to gradually be influenced by the east.

With the emergence of supernatural powers that were rooted in culture, the political figures of Takarajima island turned their heads eighty degrees.

This was the general trend on the island and there was no complicated reasoning behind it. In the past, the island relied on help from Japan and the USA, but now that the USA was pushed out and Japan and China were growing close in relationship, the island had no choice. Even if it preferred to die, the people there would have to wait for it.

In the past, the relationship between the Eastern countries wasn’t that strong, but with common interests, they now embraced each other. This was the so-called politics. Self-interest came first.

Depending on the relationship, the story would change. For example, if China and Japan were against each other, China would publicize Japan’s historical brutality, but when the relationship was good, then China would publicize their friendship. Everything was only a matter of the leaders’ words while the media would follow the trend. Those who did not understand political patterns or those who did not know about the upper level of communication were the so-called cynics. In the end, cynics were just fools being used.

But no matter which Courtney, everyone longed for peace rather than war. In war, the ones who suffered were always the people. Being able to put aside stereotypes and living in harmony was the greatest happiness in ordinary people’s lives.

This was the case with this tour group. For the three East Asian countries making closer contact, the government supported this trip. Although the people from different countries did not understand each other, they still chatted feverishly by using translation software.

The tour bus went past the highway along the coast. The sight of the sea on the horizon attracted everyone’s attention.

In the sea of Oahu, countless American ships were shuttling. The chance to see a fleet with one’s own eyes was rare. The tour group was excited as they took out their phones to shoot images.

“That’s the Seventh Fleet of the United States of America in the Pacific.”

After seeing the fleet, the tour guide explained.

“I know, the Seventh Fleet always traveled to and from Japan in the past.”

A Japanese man responded to the guide’s words.

The guide smiled and continued, “The Seventh Fleet of the United States of America includes a group of aircraft carriers, a formation of amphibious assault ships, and nine task force formations. When the asteroid that almost exterminated humanity was destroyed, a piece of it fell into this sea. The Seventh Fleet of the United States of America has been on a mission here since then.”

“Now, the Seventh Fleet has also become a tourist attraction in Hawaii. The people who come here will gather at the coast to look at them. Look, that one is the aircraft carrier USS Washington.”

“This… this won’t be dangerous, right?”

A Korean asked worriedly. Anyone would not be at ease when a fleet was on combat duty so close to them.

“There should be no problems. If there was any danger, the United States of America would have long issued an evacuation directive to prevent people from traveling here to come to Hawaii to travel.”
