Chapter 1099: The World Gate That Became Too Big!
“Lighthouse Country, Japan, Rakshasa Country, Tianzhu Country.”
Im was looking at the intelligence Cipher Pol had obtained from Hiraga Saito.
This ‘Nuclear World’ was similar to the world he had transmigrated from.
Except the former was still in the year 2002 period.
It was a pity that the great nation he was most familiar with was still not there.
That place had become a Yuangu Country.
Similar to the Mengma Country in the Demon Slayer World, both were developing and growing Mongolian civilizations.
However, Im actually breathed a sigh of relief.
If his previous life's nation truly existed, he would genuinely worry about certain irresistible forces appearing.
This way was quite good; he could also let the World Government go all out.
“As long as we conquer this world, our technology and industry will have a solid foundation.”
Im always felt that the World Government's technological foundation was too weak.
They only had cutting-edge black technology and low-end WWII era technology.
As for the middle part, the technology from the modern and contemporary eras, they could at most produce conventional firearms, such as guns, grenades, and rocket launchers.
Therefore, he highly valued this ‘Nuclear World’.
Because it was the first modern technology world the World Government had encountered.
However, if there were similar ones in the future, it wouldn't be like this.
It's worth mentioning that according to Hiraga Saito, although their world also had a large number of anime/manga works, especially their Japan which was a manga great country.
But of the ten most famous manga he gave examples of, Im had never heard of a single one.
This was sufficient to show that works like Pirate King and Naruto did not exist in this world.
Of course, Hiraga Saito not recognizing the World Government also allowed for this result to be inferred.
However, Im clearly understood that some worlds did have these manga.
For example, Gintama, and also Jujutsu Kaisen.
He was thinking about what the situation would be like if they encountered these worlds in the future.
It wouldn't take long for the other side to recognize that the invading force was from the manga, and they would also be able to recognize Haki, Ninjutsu, and Magic.
They might even recognize certain characters with distinct characteristics and high popularity, such as Sakazuki, Shiki, and so on.
This was equivalent to the other side naturally possessing a lot of intelligence about their side.
At first, Im felt this was trouble, but upon reflection, it didn't seem like much of a problem.
So what if they knew what Haki and Ninjutsu were?
So what if they recognized Sakazuki, Shiki, Newgate, and the others?
It was like how Im now knew about Super Saiyan, but if he actually encountered one, he still couldn't beat them.
The same principle applied.
Even if these worlds had some understanding of the World Government and the Ninja World, it actually couldn't change anything.
Because the power difference between the two sides was too vast.
He just didn't know what kind of expression Garp, Sengoku, and the others would have once they saw the original copy of the Pirate King manga and knew their original future story?
Even Im himself really wanted to see.
Because when he transmigrated, the Pirate King manga hadn't finished yet.
How exactly did I lose?
I was clearly so strong!
Besides that, if such manga truly existed, it would actually be a great thing for the World Government.
Because it was impossible for Im to have read all the manga before he transmigrated.
He hadn't even read many famous manga, or had only read a part of them and didn't know much about the detailed content.
Coincidentally, he and the World Government could understand the most detailed setting through these manga, and even find the manga artist himself and ask.
Hmm, Im was thinking, will he be able to find Oda himself in the future and watch him draw the Pirate King manga bit by bit?
Of course, it's also possible that in other worlds, the people who drew these works became people he didn't know, causing the plot to become somewhat different.
For example, Oda became Murata, Shimada, Toyota...
Zero Magic World.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky also gradually became dim.
Sunset in the west.
Deep night completely enveloped the sky.
Because the time in the two worlds was not consistent.
So they could only observe the sky of the military base on the other side through the ‘Founder's Round Mirror’ in Louise's hand, inferring the approximate time period.
At this moment, Yamanaka Inoichi, Tekka Uchiha, Anma Yun Hai, Yuhi Shinkuren, Gekko Hayate, Pakura, and twenty other ninja had already rested beforehand and were standing in the field, energetic.
Shiki and Bud, on the sidelines, silently watched them.
And not far from the two were Tabitha, Tiffania, Kirche, Siesta, and several other women with solemn expressions.
The gaze of everyone present was all focused on Louise.
That petite girl, holding a thin, short magic wand in her right hand, with her back facing Yamanaka Inoichi and the others, her left hand tightly held Hiraga Saito's hand.
She could feel the trembling in his hand, and he could also feel the nervousness in her heart.
Honestly, neither of them was willing to open this ‘World Gate’ for the World Government.
It's just that they also understood that even if they refused, the World Government would definitely have means to make them obediently cooperate.
Perhaps through threats and promises, or perhaps some kind of ability control.
Actually, the two had also discussed in secret about both dying, using death to completely stop the World Government from invading Saito's hometown.
However, both Louise and Hiraga Saito finally discovered that they simply didn't have the courage to die.
It's also possible that deep within their inner heart, neither wished for the other to die for strangers.
The world on the other side, although it is said to be Hiraga Saito's hometown, but upon reflection, except for his mother, aren't the others all strangers?
They were very willing, and also believed in themselves, that they definitely had the courage to die for the other.
Just like in the ‘Canon’, Hiraga Saito single-handedly faced a great army of seventy thousand, only to buy time for Louise to retreat.
Because this is love!
Of course, this is just an idea in their heart; neither would say it out loud.
But they can be silent.
By tacitly and passively complying with the World Government's requirements.
This way it is forced.
Very selfish.
But a sixteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy, both at the age of first love, what else can they do?
“Saito, I'm sorry.”
Louise lowered her head, hiding her face in the shadow.
Even the brightest twin moons in the sky couldn't even illuminate her cute face.
“No, this isn't your or my fault, and we've understood... the World Government... they won't go too far.”
Hiraga Saito gently comforted the girl: “And letting the World Government rule the world might also be a good thing.”
As a Japanese person, he indeed felt there was nothing bad about being ruled by the World Government; at least it was much stronger than Lighthouse Country!
“Alright then, I'll start...”
Seeing that he said so, Louise could only purse her lips and nod.
Immediately, she raised the magic wand in her hand, simultaneously tightly closed her eyes, and began chanting the ‘World Gate’ magic spell in her mouth.
“Eolh Thorn Feoh Jarnsaxa, Os Thorn Ur Yr Rad Peordh Yr”
What she was chanting now was actually Runic script, which is often treated as magic script in many fantasy worlds.
Soon, as the magic power in the air gathered under the mobilization of the magic wand, a ball of bright white light appeared out of thin air in front of Louise, but it was just expanding at an astonishing speed.
“Not good!”
Yamanaka Inoichi, Tekka Uchiha, and others' expressions changed greatly.
This gate is too big!
*Swish!*
Suddenly, Kurama Yakumo turned into an afterimage, Body Flicker swept past Louise's side, and rushed headfirst into the white light.
Not until this moment did his three subordinates react and hurriedly follow.
