Chapter 996: Mu, What Should I Do With You?
Were there any loopholes in the legend that Im came up with on the fly?
There definitely were, and it couldn't withstand any scrutiny.
Any spirit who had lived in the Sea Star Underworld for a while could tell that this was complete nonsense.
But so what?
This Underworld would now be taken over by the World Government, and as the time under its rule passed.
This seemingly absurd rumor would naturally become the mainstream history under the World Government's persistent propaganda.
As for the demons and ghosts who dared to stand up and refute, they would simply be eliminated. Perhaps there would be quite a bit of trouble at first, but they would eventually subside. This was the cold and cruel reality.
So-called truth was nothing more than this.
However, Im needed to think about how to eliminate King Yama's influence in the Sea Star Human World.
The Great King of Hell, Yama!
This was a myth and legend that even young children knew on the Sea Star; it could be said to be a household name.
There was also the title, God of the Celestial Dragons.
He had initially thought of calling himself 'Lord of the Underworld' or 'Dark King'.
In the end, he felt that he shouldn't limit himself to the Underworld, as the Human World of the Sea Star was also under his rule.
So, he considered making the God of the Celestial Dragons the supreme god of the Sea Star, and then making the Dark King and Poseidon subordinate gods.
However, these were just fabricated myths.
Yama's official status was still the 'Sixth Five Elders' concurrently serving as the Head of the Yama Court.
Im had no aversion to religion.
He even decided that upon returning, he would establish a Religious Affairs Department to supervise the various religions in all worlds under the World Government, including the Sea Star. If they were evil cults, they would coordinate with the Ministry of Police Affairs to suppress them.
At the same time, this department would be responsible for creating new mythological stories centered around 'God of the Celestial Dragons, Im'.
While weakening King Yama's influence, this would also allow him to develop believers and collect power of faith.
But Im would not allow religion to interfere with the World Government's internal affairs, nor would he allow religion and politics to combine. Instead, religion would be separate from politics.
Simply put, he could be the 'God of the Celestial Dragons' in myths and legends.
But within the World Government.
He was still the 'Master of the Empty Throne', the 'Founder and Ruler of the World Government'.
At least, this was Im's current idea.
He remained in the Underworld for the next few days instead of returning to the Human World to understand the World Government's recent situation.
Because there was one last matter here that required his full attention, and even his personal participation.
On this day.
The diplomatic delegation that had gone to the Ninja World Pure Land returned on the Underworld Boat.
Willy Tybur, dressed in a neat suit, walked into the hall of Yama's Palace and reported the process and key points of his trip to Yama, who was sitting on the throne.
Meanwhile, Im was secretly observing this top talent from the Titan World in another dimensional space.
At the same time, he waited for Yama to come in and relay the other party's words, because he couldn't hear the outside sound in this dimensional space.
As for the throne that originally belonged to Yama, he truly couldn't stand it.
So, he decided to have Yama find a place to construct a 'Celestial Dragon Temple' later.
And then place an Underworld version of the 'Empty Throne' inside.
Ah, if only alchemy could be used, why would it be so troublesome?
Im could completely create these things casually.
Not long after, Willy Tybur left the hall.
Im casually opened a door and let Little Yama come in.
"father, Willy Tybur said that Otsutsuki Hagoromo of the Ninja World Pure Land is willing to have a peaceful talk with us, but he wants to wait until we resolve the issue with King Yama. At that time, he will dispatch his younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura, to bring people over to visit and discuss matters concerning the World Government and the Ninja World."
"However, he also mentioned that Jabba, Rayleigh, and Kozuki Oden, who went to the Ninja World Pure Land with King Yama, have died in battle, and Roger was captured..."
As soon as Little Yama walked into this purple domain, he looked at Im and stated the key points.
However, when he spoke the latter part, a clear look of pity appeared on his small face.
"Otsutsuki Hamura is coming? As expected, either Otsutsuki Hagoromo is being held back by the 'Gate of the Underworld', or he was also injured in the battle with King Yama, or perhaps both..."
Im muttered to himself, lost in thought.
This was, of course, a good thing.
Although Otsutsuki Hamura had the Tenseigan, he was not Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the 'Lord of the Pure Land', after all. There was definitely a certain gap in strength.
Then, in the upcoming negotiation, he would have fewer concerns.
"Since that's the case, immediately have Willy Tybur go to the Pure Land again and inform the other party to come over. Mu is quite looking forward to chatting with them."
As for the life or death of Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, and Oden, Im genuinely didn't care at all.
These four guys could never be loyal to the World Government.
Even if they didn't die in the Pure Land, if they really came back alive, their fate would either be thrown into hell by him or completely erased.
Compared to that, Im was more concerned about two characters from the Demon Slayer World.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and Hantengu, the Upper Moon Four from the 'Former Twelve Kizuki', or rather, Zohakuten, the form he took after combining.
The former.
A peerless genius whom many believed had his strength restricted by the world.
As for whether that was the case, Im doesn't understand.
But his sword talent certainly had significant cultivation value.
If Yoriichi Tsugikuni was still alive, he would try his best to get him back.
As for the latter, Zohakuten.
This was a guy who simultaneously possessed numerous Blood Demon Art abilities such as controlling lightning, trees, flight, supersonic waves, strong wind, shockwave, etc., and also had exquisite spearmanship.
He also possessed very high cultivation value.
Besides this, Kokushibo, Douma, and Akaza were also good.
Anyway, these 'demons' who currently looked very weak.
In Im's eyes, they were more worth paying attention to than the surviving Roger.
Unless Roger was willing to submit to the World Government and be absolutely obedient.
But was that possible?
"Okay, father!"
Little Yama immediately agreed and quickly left to inform Willy Tybur.
Im thought for a moment. With Willy Tybur's round trip, it would take at least two or three days. He could go back to the Ninja World once to understand the situation there.
He always acted decisively; he did as soon as he thought of it. He immediately walked out of this dimensional space as well.
Then, he casually opened the 'Gate of the Underworld' in the air.
He quickly left the Sea Star Underworld, where he had stayed for a long time.
Im first glanced at the wooden house in the 'Flower Chamber', which was extremely familiar.
Immediately, without any reluctance, he summoned the 'Small Stargate' he carried with him.
After entering the Imperial Arms World through it, he used teleportation, and the next second, he had already appeared inside Noah's Ark.
Im also saw Stussy, who was guarding his body and was sleeping on the sofa.
He could feel that Stussy was sleeping very lightly, or rather, very carefully. Presumably, even the slightest commotion could wake her up.
Im, in his soul body state, looked at Stussy's extremely beautiful sleeping face, his gaze flickering.
He had already learned about the things that had happened these days through the memory in her mind.
Including the scene when she had a conflict with Historia, and with Esdeath, who had just returned from the Ninja World two days ago.
But Im didn't feel angry; instead, he revealed a faint smile.
A look of helplessness flowed from his eyes.
"Mu, what should I do with you? You are the bottom line of desire that Mu set for himself..."
He then shook his head and returned to his own body.
The next second, Im opened his eyes.
A flowing radiance circulated in his golden pupils, which were like hawk eyes.
The ruler of the World Government had returned!
