Chapter 796: What Do You Want!
The next day.
The Five Elders, following Im's order, transferred Araki, the current Army Headquarters Vice Admiral, and began renovating the Room of Authority into the Flower Chamber.
And this was done under Historia's direction.
There was no other way.
After all, there were only two Heavenly Empresses currently, and Esdeath had no interest in participating in such matters. So, naturally, it was done according to Historia's aesthetic and will.
Im also trusted her.
Historia's personality was kind and gentle, and she had excellent compatibility with nature. She naturally possessed a temperament that could calm any Animals and allow her to get along with them friendly.
As for the beautiful Butterflies she wanted, that would have to be handled by others.
The World Government now had many capable individuals, so this small Matter shouldn't be a problem.
At the same time.
Im sat on the long-unused Empty Throne.
He coldly watched the figure stepping onto the Red Carpet, wearing shining Black Leather Boots, between the two Giant God Soldiers flanking the slowly opening Main Gate of the Main Hall.
A slender and elongated figure, a fluffy black afro, a well-fitting Black Suit paired with a blue tie, a Purple Sheathed Cane Sword held in a Bone Claw, and a pale Skull completely devoid of Flesh and Blood.
Brook!
A current member of CIPHER POL-No.9, and also the superstar 'Soul King' with countless fans in the World.
However, his originally empty Eyes were now burning with purple flame.
[Thump!]
The 'Fire Giant' Surtr and the 'Frost Giant' Utgard outside closed the Main Gate again. For a Time, only Im and Brook remained in the Empty Hall.
The former sat high up on the three-tiered platform, while the latter stood below the platform on the Red Carpet, looking up.
This scene.
It reminded Im of the first Time he met 'the other party'.
Not Brook.
But King Yama!
"It's been a long Time, Ruler of the Human World, Im."
'Brook's' tone was meaningful, and his Voice had become much hoarser.
"Our transaction ended long ago, so there's naturally no need to meet again," Im replied Expressionlessly, then spoke again, "However... I heard you wanted to see me, so state your purpose."
In just a few words.
He directly defined this meeting as the other party actively seeking him out, and also told King Yama that the one with a request now was him, not me!
"Hehehe, This Venerable One is here to resolve the misunderstanding between us."
"There is no misunderstanding between us, the previous transaction was very smooth," Im replied indifferently.
'Brook' shook his head, "The misunderstanding This Venerable One speaks of is wanting you to understand that you don't need to be overly afraid of This Venerable One, because This Venerable One holds no Malice towards you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Im narrowed his Eyes, and the Atmosphere in the Palace Hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
No.
It should be said that the very Air in the Palace Hall was shaking, and at the same Time, terrifying Pressure descended, a tangible Pressure affecting both Gravity and Spirit, enveloping every corner of the Main Hall without affecting the outside at all.
But even so.
Surtr and Utgard outside the Main Gate still felt an uncontrollable Chill and Fear.
"It seems there truly is a misunderstanding between us, making you think I am afraid of you."
Im's Gaze held incredible Power, and his Body exuded a terrifying, soul-stirring Killing Intent: "But the first thing you said earlier was very correct. I am indeed the Ruler of the Human World, and you are speaking to me in the Human World."
"Kneel!"
Suddenly, Im let out a loud shout. The Pressure in the Air instantly surged several times, the Air went from shaking directly to trembling, and also produced golden Flowing Light.
[Bang!]
The next moment, 'Brook' heavily knelt on one knee. Just as he was about to fall to both knees, a burst of purple Flame Aura erupted from his Body, barely blocking the suppression of the golden Haki.
"Im, you should Understand that This Venerable One is only speaking to you through this person. What's the point of suppressing him?"
'Brook' asked with clear, suppressed Rage in his tone. Im sneered, "Just consider it that I like watching you speak while kneeling."
"Hmph!"
'Brook' could no longer suppress his Rage and demanded, "Im, are you sure you want to sever the possibility of Cooperation with This Venerable One?"
"I am merely resolving the misunderstanding between us."
Im placed his Right Hand on the armrest of the Empty Throne, supporting his Palm with his Chin, and replied casually.
"As for Cooperation, you can talk about it."
Half-kneeling on the Red Carpet, the purple Flame in 'Brook's' Eyes flickered. After a moment, he said in a deep Voice, "Alright, This Venerable One mistakenly thought you were afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to ask, "So, since you are not afraid of This Venerable One, why are you no longer giving Otherworld Souls from worlds after the Demon Slayer World, and why are you no longer coming to This Venerable One's Hell to undergo Soul Cultivation?"
"Because I found a new Method to improve my Strength, I naturally no longer need to go to your Hell, nor do I need to give you more Otherworld Souls~"
After speaking, Im dispersed all the Haki in the Main Hall. 'Brook' below the platform also took the opportunity to stand up.
Neither side dwelled on the Matter that had just occurred, because they both clearly understood what was most important. However, from now on, they could be considered to be communicating on equal footing.
One was the Ruler of the Sea Star Human World, and the other was the Ruler of the Sea Star Underworld.
The latter remained silent for a long Time, the Atmosphere extremely oppressive.
"Im, you must Understand that for a World, although the Human World and the Netherworld seem distinct, they are actually two sides of the same coin, complementing each other."
'Brook' began to speak earnestly.
"Think about it, since This Venerable One can find the location where Souls are born into the Netherworld, there must also be existences similar to This Venerable One who can find their way here through the Souls of our Sea Star People."
"At that Time, if This Venerable One is defeated, then the Sea Star's Netherworld will change hands. Will you, the Ruler of the Human World, be able to rest easy then?"
Im naturally understood this Principle.
Just as the World Government cannot stop its Footwork of Conquest now, King Yama's side also cannot stop the Speed of strengthening himself.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be annexed by a stronger Lord of the Underworld.
So, he had actually been waiting.
Waiting for the other party to find him.
Im's Golden Pupils with two circles of Ripple stared directly at the other party's fiercely burning purple Flame Eyes, asking forcefully, "Then if I give you more Otherworld Souls, what can you bring me?"
"'Brook' said in a deep Voice, "This Venerable One can assist you in Combat through the Body of this Yomi-Yomi no Mi User. In the Future, any problems on the Soul level can also be left to This Venerable One to resolve!""
"That's not enough!"
"Then what do you want?"
Im's Gaze flickered, asking, "Can you summon the Souls of the Deceased back to the Human World and let them possess their various Abilities from before death?"
"Impossible, this violates the Rules of the Planet Will, This Venerable One cannot do it!"
'Brook' immediately refused. However, Im pressed on, "Under what circumstances might it be possible?"
After all, as far as he knew, there were many 'examples' of Souls returning to the real Human World in Soul Form to fight, such as Son Goku and others in the Dragon Ball World who could return to Combat with a Halo above their heads.
"This Venerable One is also not clear, but if the Planet Will hasn't been born yet, or if the Planet Will disappears, perhaps the Lord of the Underworld might be able to do it, but it's not certain."
'Brook' said with some hesitation.
"Hmm?"
Im raised an eyebrow.
Thank you very much to Reader 160808084420328 for the 500 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 797: Feeling of Dread!
Inside the Empty Hall.
Im sat upon the Empty Throne on the three-tiered platform, looking down at the now empty red carpet below.
King Yama had left, but he also left behind a lot of information.
According to the other party's supplementary explanation.
For the Lord of the Underworld to summon departed souls to the Human World, they either needed the World Will's approval, or the World Will did not exist.
Besides that.
The World would have specific days when the 'Main Gate' connecting the two realms would temporarily open, allowing departed souls to hear the mourning and longing of their relatives and friends.
That is, from the evening of August 26th to the morning of August 27th each year.
On Wano Island, these two days are called the 'Night of Fire Festival'.
As for Brook's soul being able to wander around Yomi Hell and then return to the Human World, it was entirely because the Devil Fruit was a product of the Sea Star Will.
It was a Privilege.
"How did Otsutsuki Hagoromo do it then?"
Im muttered to himself in deep thought.
The World Government was about to clash with the Ninja World.
As a qualified Transmigrator, he knew deeply that if the three characters 'Otsutsuki' represented the Ninja World's Combat Power Limit, then the four characters 'Impure World Reincarnation' represented the Ninja World's War Potential.
Although this Forbidden Technique was created by Senju Tobirama, improved by Orochimaru, and perfected by Yakushi Kabuto.
But now, hearing King Yama say this, he realized that the person who actually supported the activation of this Ninjutsu was Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths who had become the Lord of the Pure Land.
Thinking back to his performance during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
He could actually ignore the conditions that 'Impure World Reincarnation' required the summoned person's Flesh and Blood Cells as a medium and a Living Body as a vessel, directly summoning the souls of seventeen Kage from the Five Great Nations throughout history into reality.
It was simply outrageous.
Although he didn't know if Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Ability had any Restrictions or Limits, the Value of this 'Pure Land Summoning' combined with 'Impure World Reincarnation' for War was self-evident.
Then they needed to find a Method to prepare countermeasures.
Compared to the Ninja World, and even most Otherworlds, the World Government's Core Advantage lay in three points.
Firstly, Im had integrated all the World's Strength and Resources in advance, so there was no excessive internal friction.
Secondly, Im knew a lot of Intelligence about these Worlds, even Secret matters and Future developments that most people in those Worlds were unaware of.
Lastly, the variety of Devil Fruits was sufficient, and the Abilities were rich.
Basically, no matter what difficult situation they encountered, as long as they found the right Ability User, there was a high probability of solving it. At most, the Ability User's Development Level was insufficient.
But this could also be improved through training and exercise.
Therefore, as long as Im conveyed the potential problems they might encounter to the Five Elders below in sufficient detail, they would naturally find Professionals in various fields to discuss and come up with response plans.
This was the correct way to use the World Government!
At the same time.
In the Titan World, on the Canberra Continent (Australia), it was still, as always, an endless expanse of Military Facilities and Military Personnel.
Perhaps it was because the soaring Killing Intent was too vast, causing the weather here to always be predominantly overcast with Dark Clouds.
The Star Gate Base connected to the Zero Magic World had now opened its huge Iron Door.
At the same time, teams of Army Soldiers and Officers escorted Heavy Trucks whose rear Train Cars rattled loudly or emitted strange roars as they drove out of the Base.
And their destination was the Branch Base of the Biochemical Research Institute being built here.
There, the Research Team led by Muzan Kibutsuji, assisted by Hange Zoe and Dorothea, had already made all the necessary preparations for researching these 'Magic Creatures'.
Among them, Hange Zoe Original Copy was a female giant researcher from Paradis Island in This World.
She was also one of the few Eldians who received Im's special pardon and were assigned to the Biochemical Research Institute.
Now she no longer researched Pure Titans, but instead researched the various Demi-human Races on the World.
She was particularly fanatical about researching the Lunarian, and the 'Winged Human Enhancement Serum' recently developed had her participation.
And Dorothea was the former Chief Alchemist of The Empire from the Imperial Arms World, known as the 'Witch'.
Since receiving strong training from the World Government, she had acquired a large number of alchemy Books and Data/Files, and even had Senior Alchemists personally come to provide Guidance.
This had raised her Alchemy from Intermediate Level to High Rank level.
Basically, as long as she was provided with the Materials, she had the Ability to Manufacture Imperial Arms, or create bizarre 'Chimera'.
On the other side.
In the Zero Magic World, on the Great Albion Sky Island, deep within the forest at the South End of the Valais Alps Mountain Range.
Original Copy centered around the Small Stargate, a simple small Camp temporarily built with Stone Walls, had, in just two or three days, transformed into a Militarized Base covering an area of over 30,000 square meters.
Office Area, Medical Area, Canteen Area, Dormitory Area, and even an Airport and Roadway – everything was available.
Looking down from High Altitude.
It was as if a circle of Open Ground and a large number of various Buildings had abruptly appeared within the vast Great Forest, with a Metal Wall at the Edge separating the two sides.
This was one of the Benefits of Alchemists joining the World Government.
The Construction Department, oh no, it has now become independent from the Administrative Department, so it should be called the Construction Department.
Their Construction Efficiency, with the multi-faceted Support of High-Tech Construction Machinery, Devil Fruit Abilities, and Alchemy, had increased more than tenfold compared to five years ago.
A Construction Mission of 30,000 square meters was basically completed in less than three days – what an incredible Matter!
"Oh my - so how long are we staying here, and where is the Combat Target?"
Inside the Commander's Office of an Aerospace Carrier serving as the Flagship.
Borsalino, wearing a Blue Justice Coat, sat with his legs crossed, trimming his Fingernails while looking down and asking the Den Den Mushi on the table.
That's right, he was the Commander and Admiral of this Air Fleet.
Kizaru.
Original Copy he didn't want to come. Plus, the 'terrifying' Golden Lion Shiki had actively offered to take on this Mission, so he thought he wouldn't be needed.
But who would have thought that Teacher Zephyr actually refused Shiki and specifically requested him to be in charge of the Zero Magic World.
To be honest.
Borsalino couldn't understand at first. Later, just before he left, Teacher Zephyr found him alone and told him about the Military's Decision to train him to be the next Fleet Admiral of the Air Force, and seriously demanded that he strive for progress.
He just didn't want to dwell on these things, but that didn't mean he didn't understand them.
Come to think of it.
It seems like he was the only one suitable to be Fleet Admiral in the Air Force Headquarters now.
Kaido and Shiki were both of Pirate Origin, and Enel was too young and lacked sufficient Strength.
But recalling the Screen Feed of Fleet Admiral Sengoku buried under a Mountain of Files in his Office every day, Borsalino felt a wave of Feeling of Dread from the bottom of his Heart.
But what could he do? What could he do? What could he do?
Unsolvable!
"The Instruction from above is to let Mima Amatori handle it first. If the Situation gets out of control, we will intervene. Before that, you just need to guard this super Sky Island."
"And during this time, we need to Research the Magic, Monsters of this World, as well as the Mineral Resources called Wind Stone."
Borsalino showed a satisfied Smile upon hearing this answer.
Nothing to do, that's great.
"Admiral Kizaru, this is the Miso Ramen you asked the Cafeteria to send over."
At this moment, the Door was knocked a few times, and then a young man with medium-short golden curly hair, bright yellow Pupils, and also wearing a Blue Justice Coat walked in.
"Oh - that's great, thank you so much~"
Borsalino, beaming, watched as the other party placed the Meal Tray with a bowl of ramen and two Bananas onto the table.
"It's nothing. Oh, right, I also brought back some Bananas." Ran said with a smile.
He was the former Air Force Vice Admiral of The Empire, an Imperial Arms User who controlled 'Ten Thousand Mile Flight: Mastema'.
He is currently a Rear Admiral at the Air Force Headquarters. Due to his kind and gentle Personality, he was appreciated and became Borsalino's Adjutant.
Of course.
This also had a certain relationship with the 'Winged Human Enhancement Serum' that was gradually becoming popularized within the Military, because he knew how to better utilize his Influence in Combat.
Therefore, he was responsible for Training all the new Winged Human Race soldiers, and even Officers, except for those under Admiral Ryokugyu's command.
As for Admiral Ryokugyu's side, Admiral King was in charge.
He found that his enthusiasm for this matter was no longer as high as before...

# Chapter 798: One Gateway, Two Worlds! (4300 words)
In the Zero Magic World, the Romalia Holy Kingdom.
Located in the southern part of the Halkeginia Continent, its terrain is mostly mountains, hills, and a small amount of plains.
Positioned similarly to Italy in the Modern World, it is a religious nation that worships the 'Progenitor' Brimir.
Its subordinate Ministry of Religion holds the highest authority for the Research and interpretation of the 'Founder's Prophecy', and is also the highest authority for 'System Magic'.
According to the rules of the Ministry of Religion, anyone who does not believe in Brimir is considered a Heretic.
Among them, the Elf Race is the largest Heretic race, because not only do they not believe in Brimir, but they believe in some 'Great Will', and even call Brimir a Demon.
This also led to the Elf Race having a very bad reputation in the Human Nations.
At this moment.
A Magic Flying Ship flying the flag of the Albion Kingdom, escorted by four Magic Warships and fifty Dragon Knights, was slowly flying over the huge canyon named Orcynia.
Mima Amatori and the others, led by him, stood on the Deck of the Airship, observing the environment within the canyon that was constantly sweeping past them.
"This is too high, too deep, and too narrow. The possibility for a regular army to pass through here is too low..."
Hiraga Saito exclaimed, standing by Louise's side.
But Blue, Damian's younger brother, squinted and replied with a chuckle, "Are you an Idiot? Just take a Magic Flying Ship and fly over the canyon. What era is this? Who still marches on foot?"
"This..."
Hiraga Saito was speechless, a clear look of displeasure on his face.
"Blue, be more polite when Speaking. We're on the same side now."
Jack, who was extremely tall and sturdy, patted Blue's Shoulder and reminded him in a deep voice. Immediately after, Janet, who was standing next to Louise, also chimed in.
"Exactly, Blue, you're always like this. I still want to become friends with the cute Louise!"
After speaking, she hugged Louise, causing the latter to quickly push her away, her face full of rejection. But unexpectedly, Chelsea hugged her waist again.
Louise was instantly resigned to her fate, and at the same time, her tsundere attitude flared up. She gave a Shout, "You two, that's enough!"
At the same time, the Magic Wand in her hand began to flash with Electric Flash, which panicked Hiraga Saito: "Louise! Calmness! We're in Mid-air in the canyon right now!"
If she blew up the Airship, people would really die...
"Hmph!"
Louise pouted when she heard this, and the Electric Flash on her Magic Wand gradually dissipated. However, this also successfully made Chelsea release her with a chuckle.
Not far away.
Mima Amatori didn't pay attention to the lively scene there, but instead continued to engage in various topics with Joseph and Julio.
This was to deepen their understanding of this World.
Meanwhile, Mr. Shu was communicating privately with Bithashar in a Room inside the cabin, as the latter's Elf Race Identity was truly unsuitable for appearing in the Romalia Holy Kingdom.
But since he was Mima Amatori's prisoner of war, he couldn't be released either.
"You actually don't believe in Brimir?!"
Bithashar looked in shock at Mr. Shu's face, which held a gentle Smile. Mr. Shu said softly, "I am an Alchemist, so I only believe in Truth. Lord Amatori should also not be a follower of any Religion."
"..."
Bithashar didn't know what to say, because he had never imagined there were Humans who didn't believe in Brimir.
"Excuse me, what do you plan to do after gathering all the Void?"
Mr. Shu was momentarily stunned by this question: "There isn't a specific goal we want to achieve; we just want to see what happens..."
"If that's the case, then I can tell you what will happen."
Bithashar looked directly into Mr. Shu's Gaze with a solemn expression.
Mr. Shu nodded. "Please tell me."
Immediately, Bithashar said solemnly:
"According to the Legend that has been passed down among us for six thousand years, when all the Demon Power, which you Humans call Void Power, is gathered, the Earth of the Elf Race will face destruction!"
"So please, you must persuade that Mr. Amatori to stop and prevent this from happening. I beg you!"
As soon as he finished Speaking, he bowed his head towards Mr. Shu.
"The Earth facing destruction..."
Mr. Shu murmured in surprise, because Julio had said something similar before, mentioning that the Pope wanted to save the World, which is why he needed to gather all the Void.
The two statements had both Conflicts and similarities, both indicating that this World was facing destruction.
If that were the case.
Then they, as Scouts, must figure it out.
Otherwise, once the World Government extensively develops the Resources of this World and then encounters the situation of World destruction, the losses will undoubtedly be unimaginably heavy.
And they will definitely be held accountable, with unthinkable consequences!
"Then do you know the specific method of destruction?"
Bithashar Shake Head. "That wasn't mentioned in the Prophecy."
"Then we can only first hear what the Pope has to say. He should know more information, and then we can contact the Higher-ups of your Elf Race."
Mr. Shu looked at Bithashar calmly. "Since both sides' Prophecies say the World will be destroyed, you should cooperate even more to figure this Matter out."
Bithashar sighed helplessly. "That's impossible. In our Council, there are many elderly Council Members who hate Humans."
"Moreover, the Prophecies of both sides are in Conflict. Our Prophecy says that as long as Humans cannot gather all the Void, the destruction of the Earth can be avoided."
Hearing this, Mr. Shu was instantly Speechless, but he felt pity for the Elf Race in his Heart.
If that was the case, then with Mima Amatori's Personality, he would definitely make trouble for the Elf Race after integrating the Strength of the Human Nations.
Since they were unwilling to cooperate proactively, they could only be asked to cooperate passively.
More than an hour later.
The Magic Flying Ship belonging to the Albion Kingdom, escorted by the Romalia Holy Kingdom Troops, successfully passed through the Orcynia Valley and arrived at their Capital, Bucharest City.
Perhaps it was because King Joseph of the Gallia Kingdom was in the Team, or perhaps because there were two Void Users in the Team.
In any case, they received a very high-level reception.
As soon as they disembarked, they boarded the luxurious Carriage that had been prepared, and then, escorted by the Holy Order Knights on both sides, slowly proceeded towards the Romalia Grand Cathedral in the City center.
Interestingly, the architectural layout of this Grand Cathedral was exactly the same as the Tristain Academy of Magic.
Both consisted of five lower buildings surrounding a taller tower in the center, except that besides the Main Gate and Wall on the front side, the other three sides were replaced by lush Forest.
The overall colors were mainly white and gray, looking clean and tidy while also giving a sense of Solemn grandeur.
"Wow!!!"
But when everyone, led by Julio, stepped through the slowly opening Main Gate on the first floor of the Central High Tower, Louise, Janet, and the others instinctively let out exclamations of surprise.
An incredibly vast space, smooth and bright Marble floors, seven-colored Ruri floor-to-ceiling windows, and incredibly soft, expensive Red Carpet.
But these were far less impressive than the Gold wall covering the entire Line of Sight directly ahead and the six emerald giant pillars surrounding the gold and red Throne.
It was simply so luxurious it was suffocating.
"Welcome everyone to Romalia. This King is the current His Holiness the Pope, Vittorio de Sant'Albano XXIII."
On the Golden Throne, a golden-haired man wearing a purple-gold tall hat, a purple-red Robe, and holding a Golden Scepter slowly stood up, calmly Scan the Lord Amatori and others below the platform.
"His Holiness the Pope!!"
Louise, Damian, Jack, Blue, and others immediately knelt down, and even Hiraga Saito, who was somewhat unwilling, was pulled down by Louise.
Only Mima Amatori, Joseph, Sheffield, and Julio remained standing.
Actually, Joseph and Sheffield should have also knelt down according to etiquette, but the former didn't care about the Pope at all in his Heart, while the latter acted according to the former's Will in everything.
However, Pope Victorio seemed not to care about them and focused his Gaze on Mima Amatori.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, the World Unifier who claims to be from Overseas..." After speaking, he smiled at Louise and the others: "Rise, everyone."
"Thank you, His Holiness the Pope!"
Louise and the others Respectfully Stand Up, showing how deeply rooted the Brimir Religion is in this World.
After all, it is a Religion that has existed for nearly six thousand years.
"You don't seem to oppose my actions?"
But at this moment, Mima Amatori spoke, and these words also caused Louise and the others' expressions to change drastically, because his tone and Attitude were not respectful enough.
This was His Holiness the Pope!
"Yes, because the unification of the Continent is a good thing, beneficial to the World and the Citizens."
"Moreover, your actions were swift enough and did not bring about prolonged warfare, which can be considered the greatest extent of reducing the Casualty Count."
Pope Victorio frankly admitted his supportive view, then his Gaze fell on King Joseph, saying, "This King originally thought it would be you who conquered the Continent."
"Hehehe, then you must be disappointed. Although I am also very shocked by the current changes..."
King Joseph glanced at Mima Amatori's back with a forced smile and said.
He also felt in his Heart that if not for the other party's appearance, he could have smoothly leveled the other Kingdoms and even overthrown the Authority of this Pope in the end, relying on 'Fire Stone' and 'Jörmungandr'.
"What you said about being beneficial to the World should be related to saving the World, which Julio mentioned earlier."
Mima Amatori didn't care about the Gaze behind him, but guided the Topic back to the main point of concern.
"Alas—yes..."
Pope Victorio sighed sadly.
"Our World is indeed facing an almost unsolvable great crisis. Fortunately, the Great Brimir gave us the only Hope through his Prophecy."
Mima Amatori did not interrupt, but listened patiently. The others were also deeply attracted by the Pope's words.
"The so-called crisis is actually the 'Windstone Catastrophe'."
"Although most people outside know that the Wind Stone Ore Vein is mainly concentrated in the Sahara Desert where the Elf Nation is located, Wind Stone actually exists throughout the entire Halkeginia Continent."
"Moreover, it will become more and more abundant as Time passes. When the accumulated Wind Stone in a certain area reaches a certain level, it will generate enormous Wind Magic Power, causing the Earth to Splitting and float into High Altitude."
Pope Victorio looked at everyone with a face full of worry.
"So we in Romalia have been monitoring Various Places on the Continent, until a hundred years ago when we discovered that this situation had already appeared in some places, and it was becoming increasingly frequent."
The Atmosphere inside the golden and magnificent Grand Cathedral became extremely oppressive.
Louise and the others were already somewhat dumbfounded, and even King Joseph was extremely serious. After all, if the World was gone, where could he go to have fun?
Although the idea of the Earth Splitting and then floating into the Sky sounded very interesting...
But if the Base was shattered, what would there be to play with in the future?
"Then how can gathering all the Void Power save the World?" Mima Amatori asked, pondering.
At the same time, he had already decided in his Heart to inform the World Government about this Matter as soon as possible to avoid Dispatching a large number of Personnel to the Halkeginia Continent.
They could first use the Albion Kingdom as a Base Camp.
"The Prophecy of the Great Brimir is this: Four and four cooperating together can save Halkeginia from its crisis."
Pope Victorio emphasized this point again.
"The specific Method of implementation is to gather all the Void in the Holy Land occupied by the Elf Race, and then open the Gateway between this World and Another World there..."
"The World Gate!"
Everyone was stunned, but Hiraga Saito was the first to react.
Because he was summoned from the Modern World, and not long ago he had given up the opportunity to return to his own World.
"His Holiness the Pope, the Another World you are referring to, could it be..."
"That's right, it's your World."
Pope Victorio solemnly admitted. "We need to let the Citizens go to your World to live. This is the only Method to save most people!"
"Uh----"
Hiraga Saito was so shocked his mouth hung open.
Although he was a high school student, he could imagine what a huge Disturbance it would cause in the Real World if a group of Otherworlders suddenly appeared, and what the Attitude of Various Countries would be?
"That's why this King said that unifying the Continent is beneficial to the World, because we need to concentrate all our Strength to reclaim the Holy Land from the Elf Race, and we also need to have sufficiently Strong Military Power to protect ourselves in the future World and open up a Territory to live in!"
Hearing this, Hiraga Saito suddenly Shouted, "His Holiness the Pope, are you going to invade my World?!"
"Saito..."
Louise pulled at his Clothing in a panic, but Hiraga Saito ignored her and looked directly at Pope Victorio in shock, thinking to himself: "Are you Crazy?"
"No, this King hopes we can live in peace, but we must be prepared for anything." Pope Victorio replied calmly.
"Pfft—Hahahaha----"
Suddenly, King Joseph burst into laughter. "Good, excellent, this sounds too interesting. Our World is going to be destroyed, so we'll go to Another World and seize territory. That's indeed a good idea!"
"This King has calculated, as long as we launch a wave of conscription on the Continent, plus the existing Army of Various Countries, the Military Strength should reach 500,000. Adding those Monsters and Demi-human Race, it might reach 600,000 or 700,000!"
"And with 'Jörmungandr' and 'Fire Stone' that this King developed, Void Magic, and the Strength of Lord Amatori and his group, whether it's the Elf Race or the Otherworld, I presume we can take them all down!"
Pope Victorio nodded joyfully, a Smile appearing on his face. "Yes, this is our Hope for self-rescue."
"..."
Mima Amatori was Speechless.
This meant that the Zero Magic World that the World Government was preparing to invade was actually preparing to invade Another World, right?
And once this Pope successfully opened that World Gate, it would be equivalent to the World Government potentially gaining two Worlds, one through two?
Saved a Star Gate!
On the other hand, what Hiraga Saito was thinking was: You are courting death... With the magic level of this World, they probably can't even defeat Japan's Self-Defense Force?
Oh, Louise's Void Magic doesn't count.
After all, this was his girlfriend, how could she use magic of mass destruction on his World?
But how to stop all this now...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 799: Spine-chilling!
"We currently have two urgent problems that need solving."
Pope Victorio on the stage didn't notice the somewhat strange expressions on Mima Amatori and Hiraga Saito's faces. He continued in an impassioned tone, attempting to rouse everyone's spirits.
"First, we must unify all the Kingdoms on the Continent as quickly as possible, then begin integrating the Mages and Army, and make all necessary preparations to reclaim the Holy Land!"
"Second, we must find the last Void User and Void Familiar!"
King Joseph seemed to have already forgotten his Identity and predicament as a defeated captive, and began thinking along with him.
Because for him, this matter was simply too interesting~
"The first isn't difficult. Now, in This King's Gallia Kingdom and the Germania Kingdom, not only have the Kings been captured, but most of the Army has also been wiped out. The remaining forces won't offer much resistance..."
Hearing him speak so lightly about these matters, everyone looked at him with varying degrees of admiration.
This King was truly shameless enough.
"If Lord Amatori would consider letting This King take charge, I could definitely complete the integration at the fastest speed. This King believes I have this Ability!" King Joseph said, looking at Mima Amatori with a smile.
"Then you can assist King Wales. If you do well, there will naturally be Benefits for you."
But Mima Amatori merely smiled faintly, without changing his Decision. He then turned his head and said to him meaningfully,
"Listen to my Suggestion: broaden your Scope, raise your sights. Everything you think you know now might seem very insignificant in the future~"
"Hmm?"
King Joseph was puzzled. What did he mean by broadening his Scope? Wasn't being the only King in this World large enough?
"Lord Amatori is likely referring to Another World. Our World will eventually be destroyed, but Another World is bound to have a much vaster Heaven and Earth!"
Pope Victorio said with considerable Excitement.
Julio below the stage looked at the bright Smile on his face, his heart filled with emotion. Ever since he was summoned to This World by the other party, he hadn't seen the other party so happy.
That's right.
As a Void Familiar just like Hiraga Saito, he was actually also a person from Another World. However, it wasn't some Modern World, but another Magic World.
So when he first heard that the World Gate could connect to Another World, he was worried it might be his own World...
"So that's how it is. As expected of Lord Amatori, your vision is indeed far-reaching enough!"
King Joseph suddenly understood.
"Heh heh."
Mima Amatori just smiled and didn't explain further. He then changed the subject, saying, "What about the second problem? The World is so big, where do we find someone with absolutely no information?"
"This..."
Pope Victorio was momentarily speechless, and the others also looked at each other.
In the end, no one could offer any concrete ideas, so they could only go to the Room arranged for them to rest and discuss more specific Matters tomorrow.
But not long after, Mr. Shu called Mima Amatori to the Magic Flying Ship.
"Wait a moment."
The latter first waved his hand to stop the other party from Speaking. Then, he used Observation Haki to scan a radius of two to three hundred meters. Only after confirming there were no suspicious Aura did he signal the other party to sit down and talk.
"Captain, I'll Report the Result of my Conversation with Bithashar."
Over the next ten minutes, Mr. Shu recounted what Bithashar had said and the Elf Race Intelligence he had probed.
"Gathering the Void will cause the Elf Race's Earth to be destroyed?"
Mima Amatori frowned, his Brain immediately thinking.
"Doesn't gathering the Void open the World Gate? How would it cause their Earth to be destroyed? Or is the reason for the destruction the opening of the World Gate itself?"
He then told Mr. Shu what Pope Victorio had said. After listening, the latter immediately nodded in agreement: "Captain's Speculation is very likely."
"If we are to obtain a Territory for survival in Another World, we will inevitably come into Conflict with the Nations and Influence/Power of that World. War is an absolutely unavoidable Result."
"Then the War between the two sides will definitely revolve around that Holy Land, and the Holy Land is in the Elf Nation..."
Mima Amatori said, "Yes, that's why I was thinking, perhaps it's the two Wars that destroy their Earth. Although it sounds exaggerated, it is a Prophecy after all."
Mr. Shu asked, "What about our side?"
"Naturally, we support Pope Victorio and the others in defeating the Elf Race and opening the World Gate!"
Mima Amatori said coldly, "Moreover, the Elf Race has a large number of Wind Stone Ore Veins. Compared to Cooperation and trade, directly acquiring them is definitely more convenient!"
Although Pope Victorio had said that there was Wind Stone beneath the entire Continent, who knew how many meters Underground it was?
But Ore Veins were different; they were clearly easier for Development.
Furthermore, it was said that the Elf Race's Technology and Magic were higher than those of the Human Nations here. We could completely use a 'Holy Land War' to see what level they have reached.
"Understood."
Mr. Shu had no Opinion on this either. After all, the life or death of the Elf Race had nothing to do with him.
"However, I think the 'Great Will' that Bithashar mentioned the Elf Race believes in also needs attention. This is an existence that is said to be opposed to 'Brimir' in Legend."
"It is now confirmed that Brimir once existed, so this 'Great Will' most likely exists as well, and it might even be in that so-called Holy Land!"
Mima Amatori nodded thoughtfully. More and more things were appearing in This World.
[Purururu, Purururu]
Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out from his chest. He took it out and answered, finding it was an Official from the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
He then learned that the World Government had dispatched an entire Air Fleet led by Admiral Kizaru, which had been stationed in the Valais Alps Mountain Range of the Albion Kingdom.
There were also Personnel from various relevant Departments, primarily the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
This made Mima Amatori very happy.
He quickly Reported the Intelligence regarding the 'Windstone Catastrophe', 'World Gate', and 'Holy Land War'.
"Therefore, I Plea that you temporarily do not leave the Albion Kingdom. Wait until we open the World Gate here before taking over the overall situation!"
The Den Den Mushi nodded after listening.
"So that's how it is. Indeed, every World is not simple. You have done very well. You don't need to worry about our side; we will naturally cooperate with your Plan."
"Thank you very much!"
Mima Amatori expressed his sincere gratitude.
Although the current World Government couldn't be called entirely clean, the Other World Conquest had generated huge Interests for everyone, so few people dared to cause trouble in such Matters.
"Oh, by the way, a List has been sent down from above, specifically asking us to show it to you. They say it's information from the Prophecy."
Soon, the Content written on a piece of Paper appeared on the Virtual Screen in front of Mima Amatori.
But upon seeing it, his Eyes suddenly widened.
Because this was Detailed Information about the Void. It not only listed the Names, Effects, and Owners of all Void Rings and Void Secret Treasures.
It also listed the Nicknames and Abilities of all Void Familiars, and even the Names, Identities, Magic, and Locations of all Void Users.
"Void User, Tiffania, Half-Elf Race, Void Familiar is 'Heart of God' Riviera Rashel, Location is Tristain Kingdom, Sosthgate Region, Westwood Village, Void Magic is Amnesia Magic, Appearance is..."
Detailed, it was too Detailed.
Mima Amatori felt Spine-chilling. Could the World Government's Prophecy Means really reach this Degree?
But he immediately felt proud of it.
Because he was now a member of the World Government. This made his resolve to continue climbing higher even firmer. Only such a Tissue was worth fighting for his entire Lifetime!

Chapter 800: The Truth of the Void!
World.
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
On the highest floor of Pangaea Castle, Im was in the Study Room of the Tree House, reading a Report about the Zero Magic World.
"Windstone Catastrophe, World Gate, Void Magic, another Technology World..."
These were naturally very Familiar to him. After all, 'Zero no Tsukaima World' was a hugely popular Anime back then, and he had watched all four seasons and even skimmed through the Canon Novel.
It was just that back then, he hadn't given it much deep thought, as he was merely a spectator.
But now, from the Stance of the World Government's BOSS, he immediately realized the immense Value of this Zero Magic World.
The Function of Wind Stone naturally goes without saying. Anyone with a brain could see that this was a New Energy that would bring about revolutionary progress to the World.
Because on the surface, it just seemed to make things float.
But its Essence was the Crystal of Wind Attribute Magic Power, meaning Wind Stone was a condensed form of Energy, and its Reserves were extremely astonishing, even being a sustainably renewable Resources.
At the same time.
Im also knew the Source of the Wind Stone, something currently unknown to anyone in the Zero Magic World.
The fundamental Reason why Wind Stone existed and continued to increase over Time was the presence of a Mountain Range-sized 'Spirit Stone' in the Holy Land.
It was precisely the Wind Element Energy it continuously emitted outwards that gradually transformed certain Minerals in the Continental Strata into Wind Stone.
At the same time.
This Spirit Stone was the 'Great Will' worshipped by the Elf Race, Dragon-kind, and Winged Human Race, and also the true Source of the 'Windstone Catastrophe'.
That's right, this Zero Magic World also had the Winged Human Race, who mainly lived on cliffs and were even rarer than the Elf Race.
Regarding the 'Windstone Catastrophe', they actually knew more or less about it, just under a different phrasing, such as the Earth eventually rising up and the World being destroyed.
But these Races didn't care.
Firstly, as believers, they considered this the 'Great Will''s Will. Even if it was truly destroyed, everyone would be the same, and there was no way to resist it.
Secondly, if it truly was just the Earth rising up and floating into the Sky, it didn't seem to affect them, as everyone could fly, and only those Creatures who couldn't fly would suffer.
As for the Elf Race's belief that the combined 'Demon Power / Void' would destroy the Earth they lived on.
This was actually because the 'Magic Progenitor' Brimir, six thousand years ago, in order to stop the spread of the 'Windstone Catastrophe' at the time.
He directly used the ultimate Secret Technique of Void Magic, 'Life. Destruction', to destroy the 'Spirit Stone Mountain Range', forming the current 'Holy Land Great Lake'.
Incidentally, half of the Elf Race in the Sahara Desert died in the extreme White Light.
However, Brimir at the time, due to his Familiar 'Gandalf' also being an Elf Race.
In the end, he showed mercy and left behind half of the 'Spirit Stone' and half of the Elf Race, which directly led to the 'Spirit Stone' triggering the 'Windstone Catastrophe' again six thousand years later.
In the Canon Novel.
Louise eventually used the not-yet-fully-formed 'Life. Destruction' again to completely eliminate the other half of the 'Spirit Stone'.
So Im was thinking.
If all the Void was gathered, what would be different? Would the Power of the Magic 'Life' become even greater?
Also, he knew that 'Life' was not only used for Destruction and Destruction, but also for Creation and Revival.
That is the Void Magic called 'Life. Creation'.
It could gather a massive amount of Magic Power and then convert it into Life Force to revive any Deceased!
As for whether this revival required the Physique to be intact, or if the death time couldn't be too long, and other various Conditions, he didn't know.
However, Im speculated that since it was a combination of Magic and Life, and was named 'Creation', perhaps it could truly revive a person completely from nothing.
These things would need to be verified later.
"I remember that guy Brimir, he didn't seem to have completely died..."
Im turned the golden Pen in his hand, deep in thought. He paid no attention to Araki, who was outside the Tree House, working hard under Historia's command to renovate the Room of Authority into the Flower Chamber.
In the Canon Novel, Hiraga Saito and Louise returned to the Halkeginia Continent six thousand years ago in their dreams.
However, the Continent's Name at that time was Igurjistanseia.
There, the two of them respectively met Brimir and Sasha, who was the first generation Gandalf, a very beautiful Blonde Female Elf.
It was worth noting.
They didn't just 'watch' Brimir and their experiences as bystanders, but personally participated and could even communicate with each other.
So this wasn't just ordinary 'Memory viewing', but truly sending a person's Consciousness through Time to six thousand years ago.
Isn't this terrifying when you think about it?
Im didn't believe that no one was secretly manipulating things.
Coupled with the relationship between King Yama and the Yomi-Yomi no Mi User, and the Reincarnates of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Indra, and Asura.
It was easy to guess that Brimir was likely using the Power of the Void as a Medium to influence the Void Users and Void Familiars of each generation.
The most powerful Evidence was that whenever Louise used a certain Void Magic for the first time, her eyes would lose focus, and she would automatically release the Magic without any Consciousness.
What was this?
Therefore, Im believed this place needed special attention.
Also.
Six thousand years ago, which was the Era Brimir was in, there was also a Situation where the 'World Gate' opened, and an Otherworld Army invasion.
According to the description in the Novel, it was an ancient Human Army that was well-equipped, well-trained, and even their Warhorses wore Heavy Armor.
Although some people at the time speculated they were from a certain ancient dynasty on Earth.
It was later confirmed that the Time flow of the 'Zero Magic World' and the 'Modern World' was synchronized.
So where did this completely professional Elite ancient Army come from on Earth six thousand years ago?
Therefore, Im always felt that those were not Earth people, but Otherworlders from another World in an ancient Era.
One must know that this Zero Magic World was like a 'Wasp's Nest (Holes)', connected to many Worlds in various ways. Even Brimir, Louise, Wales, and other Nobility and Royalty were not Locals.
The Novel explicitly mentioned that they were a Race called the 'Magi Race'.
Their initial numbers were small, but during the War against those Otherworld Invaders, they began intermarrying and Procreation with the Locals, forming the current 'Halkeginian' people.
This provided the answer to the Doubt Mr. Shu and the others had earlier about why Magic only recognized the Noble Class.
Because the Nobility were the 'Magi Race', and the Civilians were the Locals.
As for the occasional Magic Genius that appeared among the Civilians, it was purely because they had enough 'Magi Race' Bloodline in their body, which activated their Magic Talent due to certain Matters, and they then became a member of the Nobility...
"Right, Brimir also mentioned in the Novel that his Void Power was granted by a Gods!"
Im frowned at this thought.
Gods.
God of the Void?
This should be the true depth of the Zero Magic World.
Of course, on the surface, it was still the 'Progenitor' Brimir, an existence capable of completely annihilating a continuous Mountain Range with a Special Move!
