Chapter 762: The Arrival of the Conquerors!
The war between the Regent Zistaria Kingdom and the Tristain Kingdom happened very suddenly and ended just as suddenly.
The battle began around eleven in the morning, and by just past one in the afternoon, Louise's Void Magic had swept across the battlefield, forcefully seizing victory for the Tristain Kingdom.
However, even a war that lasted less than three hours resulted in a considerable number of casualties.
This necessitated arranging personnel to clear the battlefield.
Otherwise, a terrible Plague would descend. Even the people of the 'Magic World', who didn't understand science very well, were clear on this Principle.
Soon, the Night Curtain fell.
Mima Amatori naturally received the highest Importance from the Dignitaries of Tristain, while Louise was ignored.
This was because everyone subconsciously believed that Mima Amatori had released that White Light.
As for Louise, a 'Zero Mage' who couldn't even use Normal Magic, it was certainly impossible for her.
Mima Amatori noticed this but didn't explain.
In her Opinion, it was better for Louise not to receive too much attention, as it was beneficial for her Safety.
As for Importance and Treatment, what were these Nobles? The World Government would naturally give Louise Preferential Treatment later.
But strangely, Louise herself didn't intend to explain the Situation and even reminded Tabitha, Kirche, and Chelsea not to speak of it.
This was because the young girl truly disliked having her Life disturbed.
As long as she could get along with Hiraga Saito as usual, she was happy. As for being a User of Void or whatever, she didn't want that at all!
However, when faced with Princess Henrietta's private inquiry, Louise couldn't conceal it.
She still held deep respect for the former.
So, she spoke freely.
Since Princess Henrietta knew, Prince Wales naturally also knew.
Meanwhile, Tengen Uzui, who had remained on Albion Sky Island, finally rushed back to the Star Gate Camp in the Valais Alps Mountain Range, traveling under the stars and moon.
This place had already been occupied in every corner by many Men in Black.
Tengen Uzui speculated that they were Security personnel belonging to CIPHER POLL-No.1.
Since it involved the Otherworld, they should also be under the command of the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
After undergoing inspection and questioning, Tengen Uzui was finally allowed to enter the camp and met with Staff Officer Rodlin, who was responsible for liaising with their Squad.
These Staff Officers transferred to the Otherworld Strategy Committee were all considered Subordinates of Vice Chairman Kong Ming.
"Before you arrived, I had already spoken with Mima Amatori and have some understanding of his Plan," Staff Officer Rodlin, wearing a Suit and tie with a blue tie, said in a deep voice from a temporarily brought wide chair to Tengen Uzui, who stood before him.
"After reporting to Vice Chairman Kong Ming, we have agreed in Principle. However, the Government currently has no intention of a large-scale deployment."
"Therefore, after discussion among the Higher-ups, it was decided to Support you with two 'Conquerors'. They should be Transported here the day after tomorrow, at which point we will also leave."
"As for the Time of the next Star Gate opening, we won't mention it now. We only Hope that by then, the Situation in This World will be consistent with Mima Amatori's prediction."
Tengen Uzui merely listened quietly.
He was a Ninja, so he never had Opinions on Missions, as there was only the difference between accepting and not accepting.
"Oh, right, Mima Amatori mentioned Hugh's Speculation about the Magic Talent in This World."
"So, please bring two people tomorrow to capture a Noble who can use Magic and a Civilian who cannot use Magic. We want to take them back and send them to the Biochemical Research Institute," Staff Officer Rodlin issued the Order with a Smile.
"Yes," Tengen Uzui nodded in agreement. This Mission sounded Evil as soon as he heard it. What kind of place was the Biochemical Research Institute?
But as he said before, he was a Ninja.
Staff Officer Rodlin showed a satisfied Smile.
"Good, you can go back and rest. If you have anything to say to your wives at home, you can record a video or write a Letter, and we will help send it to the World."
This was because this 'Magic World' was separated from the Sea Star Mainland by the Titan World and the Demon Slayer World, so it was impossible to call Wano Island on the World directly using a Den Den Mushi.
"Okay, thank you very much!" Tengen Uzui was also very happy to hear this. He did miss his three wives at home a bit.
Although he knew that both the video recording and the Letter would be inspected, he had nothing that couldn't be seen by others, so there was no need to care.
But just as he was about to push the door and leave, Staff Officer Rodlin's voice came from behind again: "Oh, right, right, the World Government has decided to set the Code Name for This World as 'Zero Magic'. Just remember it."
Zero Magic?
Tengen Uzui was confused as to why this was the Code Name, but he didn't ask unnecessarily. It was just a Code Name; it didn't matter what it was called.
However, he was very satisfied with the Code Name for his own World.
Demon Slayer World!
It sounded very comfortable.
The next morning, the Nobles of Tristain originally planned to leave a thousand people responsible for continuing to clear the Battlefield, while the remaining Large Force would follow them back to the Capital City Tristania.
But they encountered a very tricky Problem.
Which was, what to do about the more than sixty thousand strong Great Army of Regent Zistaria?
As mentioned before, they had only fainted. After so much Time had passed, they naturally woke up one after another.
The Problem was, how were their mere ten thousand people supposed to manage them?
At this moment, Prince Wales stepped forward, hoping to take over these Troops and then return to the Albion Kingdom to ascend to the Throne (Position).
Regarding this, Princess Henrietta fully supported it, but the other Great Nobles didn't think so.
They had fought tooth and nail for a long Time, so why should Prince Wales gain everything without any Price?
A Great Army of over sixty thousand, among which there were also a large number of Line Level Mages. Could their side intercept a portion?
Regarding these Doubts, Prince Wales calmly stated that the people could not be given to them, but in order to thank the Tristain Kingdom for their Help, he could give them ten Magic Flying Ships and fifty Cannons.
As expected, this Condition moved many people. Magic Flying Ships and Cannons! These were things they didn't have.
However, this also aroused the greed of many people who wanted more.
But Prince Wales did not budge at all.
This was because he saw clearly that the Tristain Kingdom had no way to deal with the more than sixty thousand strong Great Army outside, if Louise, who could use Void Magic, was not counted.
Actually, now it should be the Tristain side that was 'surrounded'.
As for Mima Amatori, Levi, Mr. Shu, and others who were mistaken for 'Apostle of God', in the eyes of everyone, including Prince Wales, they were originally people from Prince Wales' side.
Under the circumstances, the Dignitaries of the Tristain Kingdom could only agree. Then they lifted the fifty Cannons onto the Magic Flying Ships and happily flew back riding on them.
Prince Wales' side was naturally busy subduing the more than sixty thousand strong Great Army.
Fortunately, his Identity still had enough influence on these Troops who had lost their Leader and had just lost the Defeat, so the process of receiving them was quite smooth.
Occasionally, some fanatical believers were also dealt with by Knight Anderson and the others.
Just at this moment, Mima Amatori found Prince Wales: "Your Highness, after you return and regain control of the Albion Kingdom, you can propose to Princess Henrietta."
"This..." Prince Wales was stunned for a moment, but his Pupils were trembling, because his Heart was moved. After all, which man would be willing to let the woman he loves fall into the embrace of others?
"But Henrietta already has an Engagement with the Germania Kingdom..."
Mima Amatori smiled slightly: "This is very simple. You just need to take the Letter Princess Henrietta wrote to you before and send it to the King of Germania. The other party will naturally dissolve the Engagement."
"This doesn't seem good..." Prince Wales was still a bit hesitant: "This is very likely to anger the other party. Germania is a Great Nation no matter what."
"Isn't Albion also a Great Nation? And united with Tristain, plus the Matter of defeating the seventy thousand strong Great Army in one fell swoop before will definitely also spread out. I don't think the Germania Kingdom will have any radical Reaction," Mima Amatori said the last sentence, staring at Prince Wales' flickering Gaze.
"Don't you love Princess Henrietta?"
Thank you very much to Lotov Brand Cocktail Helmsman for the 10000 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
Thank you very much to aka-shu Hall Master for the 1500 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 763: Mima Amatori's Second Suggestion!
Three days later.
Prince Wales led the newly subdued Great Army of over sixty thousand, riding on the remaining ninety-odd Magic Flying Ships, and successfully returned to the Albion Kingdom, located several thousand meters in High Altitude.
At the same time, he also left the Corpses of over a hundred rebellious Nobility and Officers on the land of the Tristain Kingdom.
Although Prince Wales appeared gentle, after two years of War experience, he had long possessed a firmness and Disposition that did not match his Age.
Coupled with Mima Amatori assisting him, he did not hesitate much when issuing this Elimination Order, because he knew that if these Nobility and Officers were not killed, the troubles would be endless.
Returning to his homeland, Prince Wales was full of vigor. With a Great Army of over sixty thousand, he had no intention of dispersing his Military Strength, but instead headed straight for the Capital City, Londinium.
The various Fortresses and Towns along the way almost surrendered with little resistance, and even if there was resistance, they were swept aside decisively.
However, quite a few rebellious Nobility fled the Kingdom desperately in their private Magic Flying Ships.
Prince Wales did not bother with these people, because he couldn't manage it now.
Louise's Void Magic had not only burned away the Magic Warships but also wiped out all the Fire Dragon Knights. Therefore, there were currently no Aerial Combat units capable of Pursuit.
Moreover, since the people were gone, the country was also clean, which was a good thing.
As for the Wealth taken away by the Nobility, Prince Wales was not interested in caring about it now.
He was now solely focused on quickly consolidating the Situation in the entire Albion Kingdom, then ascending to the King's throne, and using that to propose to Princess Henrietta!
Prince Wales was moved by Mima Amatori's previous Suggestion.
Because he loved Henrietta, and Henrietta also loved him, he dared to offend the Germania Kingdom!
With a Target, Prince Wales was naturally full of motivation.
Meanwhile, Mima Amatori only brought Levi with him.
Because Chelsea and Mekko were left in the Tristain Kingdom to protect Louise, while Mr. Shu voluntarily requested to stay at the Magic Academy to continue his Research.
Dean Old Osmond also welcomed him.
After all, Alchemists with genuine skill were too rare, and having more Communication with him would definitely bring Benefits. He even invited Mr. Shu to give lectures to the students.
It is worth mentioning.
Mr. Shu noticed that This World actually had Alchemy as well, and it was divided into two types of Alchemy.
One was Alchemy Magic within Earth Magic, which could Transmute Stone into Metal, such as Brass, Steel, Silver, Gold, and so on.
This was outrageous.
Because in the Alchemy System of the Alchemy Kingdom, only Alchemists who reached the Stigma Level could disregard the inherent Elements of the Raw Material and Transmute Substances of other Elements.
For example, turning Stone into Gold.
However, this Alchemy Magic also had a strange aspect: it could disregard the Elements of the Raw Material but could not disregard the Mass of the Raw Material.
That is to say, ten grams of Stone could only be Transmuted into ten grams of Gold.
But a Stigma Alchemist could disregard Mass and turn ten grams of Stone into one hundred grams of Gold.
So, although Alchemy Magic was very miraculous, it had its shortcomings compared to Stigma Level Alchemy.
The other type was a more authentic High-Level Alchemy that did not rely on Magic Power and could also disregard the Elements of Substance for Transmutation. No one in this Academy knew it, but it was specifically recorded in relevant Books.
It was said that only those who mastered this type of Alchemy would be called Alchemists.
Thus.
Another month passed.
Prince Wales finally stabilized the Situation in the Albion Kingdom and applied to the United Halkeginia-Romalia United Empire to grant him the title of King.
Because This World was still in the era of the 'Divine Right of Kings'.
The Pope of Romalia held a higher Status than the Kings. Kings even needed to kneel before the Pope until permitted to rise.
And Mima Amatori had become Prince Wales' trusted Right Hand.
With his Support, the Albion Kingdom had already begun re-Manufacturing Cannons and was preparing to renovate thirty Magic Flying Ships into Magic Warships.
Prince Wales had questioned the need for so many Magic Warships.
Mima Amatori's answer was that the Fire Dragon Knights who accompanied the army were completely wiped out. Although there were still about ten young Fire Dragons left in the country, there was no need to worry about extinction.
But it would be difficult to raise a Dragon Knight Legion again.
So, in the absence of Fire Dragon Knights, to compensate for the aerial Defense Power, they could only rely on Magic Warships.
After all, the Albion Kingdom was an aerial Kingdom.
No matter what Direction the enemy invaded from, they could only arrive by flying. Therefore, Air Force was a necessity.
Prince Wales had no Opinion on this reason and agreed to Mima Amatori's Plan, continuing to busy himself with preparations to receive the Pope.
But Mima Amatori's actions grew larger.
He even began contacting the Craftsmen who forged Cannons and, using the Flintlock as a Foundation, developed the Bolt-Action Breech-Loading Rifle.
He was very familiar with this.
The 'Steam Gun' in the Kabaneri World back then was this type, except the power source for firing Bullets was High-Pressure Steam instead of Gunpowder.
It wasn't that Mima Amatori didn't want to create better Firearms, but he didn't know how to build better ones.
Fortunately, this Bolt-Action Breech-Loading Rifle could easily penetrate most armor in This World.
And the craftsmanship Requirement was not very high; the Artisan Technology of This World could completely mass-Manufacture them.
Although the initial Output was not very high, when Mima Amatori dispatched several Mages skilled in Alchemy Magic and Reinforcement Magic to help, the Output increased at a visible Speed.
Once a thousand were accumulated.
He and Levi trained the first batch of Soldiers who could skillfully use this Gun, and then had these Soldiers responsible for teaching more Soldiers.
Prince Wales naturally knew about this entire process.
Regarding the appearance of these Firearms, he actually felt some worry in his Heart. He always felt that this Gun was too dangerous.
Not only would it make War exceptionally brutal, but it was indeed as Knight Anderson and the others said, a great threat to Mages.
Although Mages, when prepared, had various Magic Methods to defend against these Bullets, if they were subjected to a Sneak Attack, it would be tragic.
Not to mention that low-level Mages needed Spell Chanting, even High-Rank Mages might not be able to React in Time.
However.
Mima Amatori's words made Prince Wales choose to acquiesce.
"Highness, although the possibility of the Germania Kingdom starting a War out of Anger is not high, it is not absolute."
"If the other side truly starts a War, then these Firearms can give our Albion Soldiers a higher survival rate on the Battlefield and better protect your love for Princess Henrietta!"
This was an unassailable reason.
Whether as the ruler of a Kingdom or as a man, he could not object.
Not long after.
Under the authorization ceremony presided over by the Pope of Romalia, Prince Wales finally became King Wales. This made him write a Proposal Letter to Princess Henrietta with a surging Heart after the ceremony.
At the same time, following Mima Amatori's Opinion, he sent the Letter Princess Henrietta had previously written to him to the Germania Kingdom.
This was to let the Third King know that Princess Henrietta already had a Beloved and had engaged in emotional Communication with him during the Engagement period.
Although this would damage Princess Henrietta's reputation, Wales made this Decision after a difficult Choice.
He now only wanted to marry his Beloved.
"Mr. Amatori, I hope everything goes smoothly. I truly don't wish for this Matter to cause another War that brings death, especially with another Great Nation..."
King Wales looked helplessly at Mima Amatori, but Mima Amatori did not answer him, instead suddenly proposing:
"Highness, I suggest you first make Princess Henrietta the Queen of Tristain, and then marry her. This way, you can naturally incorporate the Tristain Kingdom into our country."
"What?!"
King Wales was shocked. He even wondered if he had misheard.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 764: Your Majesty, Why Won't You Listen?
"You! You actually want me to annex Henrietta's Nation?!"
Rage instantly surged in King Wales's heart. The respect in his eyes originally held instantly turned into shock and anger, but Mima Amatori calmly nodded as if he hadn't seen it.
"Yes, I have understood the Noble Rules of this Continent. When a King marries another Queen, the two Nations can merge into one."
"They don't have to merge!"
King Wales roared with an Angry Expression, "Even without Henrietta, Tristain Kingdom has Duchess Marianne who can be Promoted to the Throne (Position). There is absolutely no need to merge into Albion!"
"What if Duchess Marianne passes away?"
"Wh-What?"
King Wales was stunned. Mima Amatori continued,
"As far as I understand, there are currently only two members of Tristain Royalty. If one of them is gone, then Princess Henrietta must become the Queen."
"Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing to allow Albion Kingdom to expand its territory and incidentally let us have a piece of land on the Halkeginia Continent?"
King Wales was silent for a long time. His ink-blue eyes deeply scrutinized Mima Amatori. After a moment, he asked faintly,
"Mima Amatori, who exactly are you, and what is your true objective?"
"Your Majesty, I have already said this. We are refugees and Adventurers from Overseas Japan, and our objective is to help you and Albion Kingdom."
Mima Amatori answered softly while meeting his gaze.
"Your so-called help, I think after I annex Tristain Kingdom according to the Plan you just mentioned, the next step should be to launch Wars of aggression against other Kingdoms, and the first Target would be Germania Kingdom, which I have Conflicts with!"
Prince Wales had already connected the dots regarding Mima Amatori's previous actions.
Massive forging of Cannon, Cannonball, expanding the number of Magic Warships, Renovation and Mass Production of Bolt-Action Breech-Loading Rifles, Training of Rifle Corps, and so on.
Thinking about it now, all of this was to arm Albion Kingdom's Military Power.
But it wasn't for self-Protection, but for invading other Nations!
"You are mistaken."
But Mima Amatori shook his head and denied it, which made King Wales frown. However, the next sentence from the former made his Eyes widen instantly.
"The Target should be the Nevarthes Elf Kingdom in the Sahara Desert."
"What?!"
"You should Understand that the Wind Stone of the Nevarthes Elf Kingdom is the Core Energy of Magic Flying Ships. I want to secure these high-Value Resources for Albion Kingdom."
Hearing Mima Amatori's Explanation, King Wales's Expression softened.
After all, it sounded like he was indeed considering his Nation's Interests, which made him begin to Doubt if he had truly misunderstood, and that the other party actually had no Malice.
"Mima Amatori, perhaps you don't Understand, Spirits are a very terrifying Race. Their Technology and Magic are also more powerful than us Humans."
"Otherwise, even you know they have a large amount of Wind Stone there, would the various Nations have remained indifferent for so many years?"
King Wales patiently explained the Situation, but Mima Amatori smiled and said,
"That's why I Suggested that you first merge with Tristain Kingdom, so that we can strengthen our Strength on this side."
"You have witnessed the Void Magic Louise released before. Just have her use it on the Elf Race one more time."
"After defeating the Elf Race, wouldn't both the Wind Stone and their Technology belong to us? We can even take them Captive, and their Magic will also be ours to use. Why wouldn't we do it?"
King Wales opened his mouth, unable to speak.
He would probably never forget the Scene where Louise's single White Light Magic instantly caused the seventy thousand Great Army to Defeat.
Thinking about it this way, Mima Amatori's idea seemed feasible.
"But, but this is aggression! And it's provoking a great War between Humans and Spirits!"
"Your Majesty, do you Fear War?"
Mima Amatori showed a look of Doubt. King Wales quickly said, "This isn't Fear, but awe. We shouldn't easily start a War!"
"Moreover, once an invasion of the Spirits is launched, His Holiness the Pope of Romalia will definitely intervene!"
Mima Amatori sneered, "Then bring Romalia along. I don't believe they won't be interested in massive amounts of Wind Stone and advanced Technology."
"Furthermore, the Elf Race doesn't believe in Brimir and even calls them Demons. They are inherently in a state of irreconcilable Conflicts with Romalia."
King Wales was dumbfounded.
Because Mima Amatori was right. The Elf Race worships the 'Ancestor' and calls these Humans 'Barbarians'. Their relationship was indeed very poor.
"But it still comes back to the same point, the Elf Race is very Strong. Once a War between the two Races is ignited, there will definitely be countless casualties!"
King Wales argued with difficulty, which made Mima Amatori chuckle, "Your Majesty, great Interests are naturally Accompanied By great Risk. You should Understand this Principle."
"Moreover, a single War can completely eliminate Heretics and Heterogeneous Races. Isn't that Worth it?"
"..."
King Wales had nothing more to say. He began to ponder, while Mima Amatori waited patiently in front of him.
After a long while.
"I'm sorry, I really dislike actively invading other Nations, and I don't want to annex Henrietta's Nation. Because the Royalty of our two Nations are direct Descendants of Brimir, we should help each other."
Now it was Mima Amatori's turn to be silent. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"Ah—what a pity."
"Hmm?"
King Wales let out a nasal sound of Doubt. He only heard Mima Amatori say, "I Original Copy thought I could maintain a pleasant relationship with you until the end. It seems that's not possible now. Why can't you just obediently listen?"
"What are you going to do!"
King Wales became Vigilant, his Right Hand reaching for the hilt of the Sword at his Waist. But he immediately noticed something strange.
"Royal Guard?"
Yes, Original Copy he was like this, the Imperial Guard Knights in the Palace Hall should have drawn their Magic Swords and surrounded Mima Amatori by now, but they were standing still.
[Step, step, step, step]
Suddenly.
Accompanied By a series of Footsteps, a handsome man with long gray hair walked in, then went behind Mima Amatori and half-knelt Respectfully.
"Lord Amatori!"
King Wales was greatly alarmed, "Valter!!"
Yes.
It was Valter, the former Commander of Tristain Kingdom's Griffin Magic Guard, who had almost killed him with a Sword before. But wasn't he... by Mima Amatori...
Ah, that's right. Valter wasn't killed at the time, but was handed over to Tristain Kingdom and imprisoned in the Prison.
Then how could he be here?
"Don't worry, I won't harm you, nor will I harm your Nation. On the contrary, I will give you a great opportunity, but before that, I need your cooperation."
Mima Amatori didn't explain Valter's Situation, but spoke kindly to comfort King Wales.
Then he turned his head and ordered, "Begin."
"Yes!"
Valter slowly stood up, then raised his Right Hand towards King Wales. On his index finger was a Silver Ring inlaid with a square Amethyst.
"Andervaria!"
King Wales was greatly alarmed and quickly tried to dodge to the right, but the Speed of the Purple Light blooming was too fast. The moment he made a move, he froze on the spot, his Body no longer under his Control.
"Ah, this way you should be able to listen..."
Mima Amatori didn't care about the Purple Light's illumination at all. He slowly walked in front of the other party, revealing an incredibly elegant and handsome Smile.
"When everything is over, you will thank me, His Majesty the King. However, my Plan needs a slight adjustment."
Recommendation: The new book "Prince of Tennis: My Ball Skills Come From the Death God" by Jie Ke's Shovel Officer, the author of "The Man Who Was Mistakenly Thought to Be the Death God".
The author's Mass is guaranteed. A refreshing Prince of Tennis novel with Death God Elements!
(End of this chapter)
**Chapter 765: World Government Information-based Management Construction!**
"So that's it. The fifth Star Gate leads to the 'Zero no Tsukaima World'."
Im looked at the intelligence content displayed on the Virtual Screen and muttered to himself.
At the same time.
Various memories about this World also surged into his mind. Combined with the intelligence gathered by Mima Amatori, Tengen Uzui, and the others, he quickly gained a deeper understanding of it.
This was because back then, Im had not only watched all four seasons of the anime adaptation of this work but had also read the novel once.
So now, he could be said to understand their World better than the people of that World themselves.
For example, this 'Zero no Tsukaima' World wasn't as harmless as it appeared on the surface, especially that 'Magic Progenitor' Brimir.
His full name should be Brimir Lu Rumiel Nidavellir.
This was a Super Mage who could blast large deep pits into towering mountain ranges, massacre half of the Elf Race in the Sahara Desert, and even send a person's Consciousness back to the World six thousand years ago.
And this very person, who is now worshipped as a God by the people, actually had a God they worshipped themselves, and Void Magic was granted to them by that God.
This shows just how deep the waters of the 'Zero no Tsukaima' World are!
"But I remember there are quite a few good things in this World."
Im habitually recalled things while picking up a Pen and jotting them down on a piece of White Paper.
First is the Laptop Computer in Hiraga Saito's hands. As long as it can be charged, it can receive and browse Network Information from another Technology World.
Although there's also the theory that the Magic World and the Technology World are mirror Parallel Worlds, being able to connect to the network regardless is just too absurd.
Then there's the Russian-made Nuclear Submarine in the 'Holy Land' Lake.
Leaving aside the Value of this thing, it has been confirmed by Hiraga Saito's 'Gandalf' Ability that there is a complete and usable Nuclear Warhead inside!
As for other things like the Zero Fighter, Tiger Tank, and Magnum Handgun, they are useless to the current World Government.
And these are just things from the Technology side; there are also quite a few Secret Treasures on the Magic side.
"It seems necessary to have someone retrieve these two things."
Im finished writing the last word, gently placed the Pen back on the Tabletop, and then glanced at the Intelligence File beside him, which contained Mima Amatori's reported Plan.
This guy planned to first instigate a World War in the 'Zero no Tsukaima' World, allowing the Albion Kingdom to unify the entire World, including the Sahara Desert where the Elf Race resides.
This would make it easier for the World Government to Rule and manage it.
Secondly, he also wanted to gather Brimir's legendary 'Four of the Four' to see if he could uncover more Value from this World.
Finally, he hoped that Cipher Pol could send more Personnel to begin the Investigation and Infiltration of Hiraga Saito's Hometown World.
It must be said.
This Kid, Mima Amatori, is indeed a figure. He has both Means and Ambition, and he has no intention of hiding these from the World Government at all.
He openly displayed his desire to climb higher.
Regarding this point.
Im, as well as the Five Elders, appreciated this and were happy to see Mima Amatori's growth.
Because this could serve as a good Role Model Effect for other Otherworlders who join the World Government now and in the future.
However, Im remembered that after the 'Four of the Four' were gathered, Louise learned the Void Ultimate Magic 'Life'.
This is a type of Magic that can both erase Life over a large area and truly resurrect a person's Life.
It is indeed a good thing.
Thus, Louise's Value became immeasurable. Although there are four Void Users, Louise is the one who received Brimir's True Inheritance.
It's just that Im had some Scruples about Brimir and the God who granted him Void Magic.
However, now that he had 'Truth' as an Ally on his side, he could feel a little more at ease.
[Knock, knock, knock.]
Just then, the Door of the Study Room was knocked upon, followed by Stussy's soft reminder: "Lord Imu, the Sparring between Empress Esdeath and Empress Historia is about to begin."
"Okay."
Im heard this, Stand Up, and casually said, "'Star Spirit', shut down the System."
"Okay, Lord Imu."
On the Tabletop, a Den Den Mushi over a meter tall responded verbally, and the Virtual Screen projected in Mid-air instantly vanished.
This was the previous number one 'Green Apple' Den Den Mushi.
However, due to his intervention, it was now renamed 'Star Den Den Mushi', and even the color of its Body Surface changed from emerald green to a black base with Starlight.
And the Super Den Den Mushi located on Punk Hazard at the Academy of Science Headquarters was officially renamed 'Star Spirit Den Den Mushi'.
Now, the major Core Departments of the World Government basically each had several 'Star Den Den Mushi', allowing them to handle various Government Affairs through the 'Star Sea Den Den Mushi Network System'.
And the Consciousness of this Super Den Den Mushi, 'Star Spirit', which was indistinguishable from Strong Artificial Intelligence, also began to take over the massive and complex Basic Work.
This freed up a large number of Personnel for the World Government, allowing them to do more important Matters.
It had only been just over two months' Time.
The Quantity of these 'Star Den Den Mushi', which were similar to Computer Hosts, was not yet sufficient for complete Popularization across all Departments and Officials.
Therefore, the complete completion of the World Government's Information-based Management Construction would likely have to wait until next year.
And it was now the 20th of November, Marine Calendar 1502.
"Has it started~"
Im brought Stussy to the vicinity of the Open Ground in the Harem. This was a Lawn as vast as a Football Field, but it had now turned into an Ice and Snow World.
They saw two Beauties with Jade Face Snow Skin and Graceful Figures, wearing Heavenly Phoenix Hundred Birds Skirts, engaged in a Fierce Battle. One held an Ice Flower Sword, and the other gripped a Diamond White Spear with both hands.
It was precisely Esdeath and Historia, Members of Im's Harem.
At this moment, one had become a Manifestation of a Humanoid Qilin over four meters tall, and the other had turned into a Crystal Giant over five meters tall. Both were also using Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
The Combat Atmosphere and the Fighting Intent contained in their Shouts made it seem anything but the friendly Sparring Stussy had mentioned.
And on the sidelines.
Naturally, Mikasa, Akame, Kurome, and the Royal Guard belonging to the two Heavenly Empresses were also gathered around. Among them was a white-clothed woman nearly three meters tall, with an extremely slender and fiery figure, white hair, and red eyes.
That was Hong Lian, the 'Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox', one of the Super Dangerous Beasts.
Ever since eating the Human-Human Fruit, Animal Type, it had become her, and she had also become Esdeath's Partner.
However, because Im could see others' Inner Thoughts, he knew that Hong Lian regarded Esdeath as her Disciple and Daughter.
Thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like there was any problem.
Esdeath had drunk a whole can of Hong Lian's Blood to gain Extraordinary Power, so it wasn't unreasonable to say that there was a Bloodline Connection between the two.
Yet Esdeath was single-mindedly focused on defeating Hong Lian, both to prove that she had reached Admiral Level Combat Power and to subdue the other party to be her Mount...
Actually, when their Feelings got better, Im felt that if Esdeath wanted to ride Hong Lian, she didn't necessarily have to defeat her...
They could totally discuss it, Hong Lian might agree~~
"Speaking of which, I've been in this Titan World for over two years now, and it seems like it will be three years in a few more months..."
Im's Gaze shifted from the Combat between the two Women to the Green Sky above.
"It's Time to give Consideration to the next World to enter, but if things continue like this, won't I never be able to return to the World?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 766: Their Respective Struggles and Efforts!
"Maha Padoma!"
Suddenly, Esdeath's loud shout attracted Im's attention.
At this moment, a light blue fluctuation swept out, enveloping the entire Open Ground within a semi-circular Domain.
It instantly froze the turf that had just been swaying from the aftermath of the Combat inside, the Ice Cubes splashing and falling through the air, and even the blowing Air Current.
Historia seemed to have been prepared, her entire Body already protected by Armament Haki Hardening.
However, this only prevented her from completely losing her Ability to move, but attempting any action was still incredibly slow. Only her thoughts could still operate at high Speed.
"Not bad."
Im looked at the surface of the Domain less than a meter in front of him and gave a compliment.
This was because it Represented that Esdeath could now Control the range of 'Maha Padoma', something she couldn't do before joining the World Government.
And now, she had not only improved her 'Maha Padoma' Ability but also significantly increased its duration and usage count.
Previously, Esdeath's 'Maha Padoma' lasted less than two seconds, but now it had reached ten seconds. Its usage count had also increased from once a day to three times a day.
All of this was thanks to the various Resources Im had given her.
Cell Enhancement Serum, Two Colors of Haki Cultivation, Gravity Field Training, Natural Energy Cultivation, and the blessing of the Animal System Dragon-Dragon Fruit Mythical Beast Type Kirin Form.
This allowed Esdeath's Strength to catch up to Historia's in just about a year.
Do not underestimate Historia.
This Queen of the Eldians, possessing the Strength of the Nine Titans, coupled with the Support of the Cell Enhancement Serum and diligent Cultivation in Martial Arts.
Her Physique, Physical Ability, Martial Arts, and many other aspects had long reached the level of a Military Vice Admiral.
She had also been exposed to Haki earlier than Esdeath.
And don't forget, behind Historia is Ymir, a two-thousand-year-old Great Vengeful Spirit who possesses 'Simulator Level' Future Sight Ability.
Ymir only needed to lend a little Support to allow Historia to see every inevitable action and Technique Esdeath would make.
This was equivalent to an enhanced version of Observation Haki's Future Sight.
Im didn't think Ymir would ignore Historia.
Indeed.
Historia, inside the 'Maha Padoma' Domain, moved relatively slowly.
But she was able to miraculously block every Sword Thrust Esdeath swung with the Spear in her hand, which glowed with a hint of black light, safely enduring the long ten seconds.
This caused Esdeath to stop her actions after pulling back, staring at Historia with a serious expression.
Because this was already their third Sparring session.
Each time, she would be suppressed by the opponent's incredibly strong Prediction Ability. No matter what method she used to launch an Offensive, Historia could prepare a countermeasure in advance.
This directly put her in an invincible position.
Of course.
Esdeath also knew that if her Strength was far superior to the opponent's, the opponent wouldn't be able to resist even if they could predict.
This was what she was currently anxious about.
Because recently, she had started to feel her Strength improvement Speed slowing down.
Lord Im's explanation was that the Bonus Period of the Cell Enhancement Serum and Kirin Fruit had passed, and the subsequent Strength improvement Speed would return to normal.
But the problem was that her current Strength was only between Vice Admiral and Admiral. Saying she had Admiral Level Combat Power was a stretch, and she was still quite far from a true Admiral.
So, in order to accelerate her Strength improvement, Esdeath specifically asked Historia to Spar with her.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought of finding others.
For example, the Giant God Soldiers, and the Cipher Pol Experts on the Ark, but her current Identity was Heavenly Empress. Who else would dare to fight her?
So her options were only two: Im and Historia.
Im was busy, where would he have the Time to spend half a day fighting with her? So, in the end, it was only Historia.
Fortunately, Historia also wanted to improve her own Strength.
She readily agreed to Esdeath's request without much difficulty, only stipulating that Esdeath must also Play Tennis with her.
Regarding this Situation.
Im was happy to see it. Putting everything else aside, it was pleasing to the eye, and there was a Program to watch every day, which was quite good.
On the other side.
Also located on the fifth floor of this Noah's Ark, but on the Large Training Ground outside the Harem, Doflamingo was also fighting a difficult battle.
Although Doflamingo looked quite battered at the moment, the Strength he displayed now was already comparable to his 'Canon' self twenty years later.
If placed in the Military, he would be considered a Combat Power between Vice Admiral and Admiral, the so-called Elite Vice Admiral.
Don't think this Strength is weak.
Many of the current Military Vice Admirals have mastered the two Advanced Haki Techniques of Future Sight and Internal Destruction.
Life Return has become a standard Ability that everyone values, and thanks to the teachings of Muzan Kibutsuji and the Reference from the Imperial Arms World Royal Fist Temple, their application of Life Return is also stronger than before.
Manipulating Hair into dense needles, temporarily shifting Body Muscle and internal organs, quickly Stop Bleeding and healing after being injured, etc., have become basic operations.
In terms of Swordsmanship, thanks to the presence of Sword Master, there has been visible overall progress.
Not to mention, Gravity Field Training has recently appeared, and its Training/Exercise Effect on Physical Ability is far stronger than traditional Training methods from the past.
So it is foreseeable that the Physical Ability and Martial Arts of Military Officers will definitely improve significantly in the near future.
Then, Haki will naturally become stronger accordingly.
After all, the Suffering caused by the Gravity Field is all-encompassing, including the Training of Willpower!
So, Doflamingo is already very Strong now.
It's just that his opponents are two Giant Tribe Powerhouses who can also enjoy a large amount of Resources like Gravity Field, Life Return, Six Powers, and who have eaten Logia-type Devil Fruits!
Coupled with their Haki and the Golden Armor on their Bodies, neither of them is someone Doflamingo can easily defeat alone.
But now he can fight two opponents at once and still hold on.
This is very impressive.
However, Im's 'Requirement' for him is to fight three opponents at once and defeat them. This is essentially telling him that only when he reaches Admiral Level Combat Power can he go out and take on important responsibilities.
Actually.
Im had said before that he could pass by continuously challenging opponents. As for fighting three at once, it was just a casual remark, saying that he would be happier if he could do it.
But Doflamingo unhesitatingly took it as his sole Target.
So, this guy is indeed a character!
[Swish!]
After watching Esdeath and Doflamingo's Combat briefly, Im instantly Teleported directly to the third floor of the Star Pressure Palace.
After all, with everyone below working so hard, he, as the BOSS, couldn't slack off either.
Recently, he had figured something out.
"Although I am Im, I am not the previous Im, but the current Im. Sword Dao was the path of the previous Im, not mine."
"Compared to that, my Heart clearly tells me that I prefer this Combat style..."
Amidst the murmuring, Im opened his Palm, and a ball of white misty Qi rapidly spun within it, then quickly diffused to form a light blue semi-circular Domain very similar to 'Maha Padoma'.
The next moment.
The Gravity Searchlight and Flash Emitter on the ceiling began to activate.
