Chapter 1152: A Warning to the World Government!
About half an hour ago.
Special Zone World.
A team composed of six carriages and nineteen people.
Under the watch of a platoon of around fifty auxiliary soldiers.
Slowly walked to the front of the camp facing north on the Hill of Alnus.
This 'Delegation' was represented by Rory Mercury, the demigod of 'God of Darkness' Emroy, and Mabel Von, the demigod of 'God of Light' Freya.
Also, each of the two brought five cult apostles, serving as representatives of the 'chief gods' to bolster their presence.
Meanwhile, Sage Cato, his disciple Lelei La Lalena, and five master mages served as the representatives of Rondel City.
After arriving here, Rory, Cato, Lelei, and the others were relatively composed.
But Mabel Von, who was seeing a modern world army for the first time, as well as those cult apostles and mages, could not hide the curiosity and surprise in their eyes.
Everyone left the carriages not permitted inside outside the camp and assigned two people from their respective teams to guard them.
Then, following the auxiliary legion personnel who welcomed them, they passed through, taking a quick look at the orderly and heavily guarded camp, and arrived in front of a three-story gray stone building.
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, the Regimental Commander of the First Regiment, Second Brigade, First Division of the Second Army Group of the Auxiliary Legion. This is Jonin Shibi Aburame from the Sea Ninja Village. We are in charge of hosting this meeting."
While scanning everyone with a calm gaze, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley introduced himself at a calm and unhurried pace.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the blue-haired little girl holding a wave-shaped sapphire magic staff.
As expected, after listening, she began to translate to the others using the Falmart Language, which they couldn't understand.
Then they saw the black-haired girl, wearing a black and red gothic dress and holding a silver and purple great gun-axe, say a couple of sentences to her.
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley showed a satisfied smile.
"This is a talent!"
"This is Loli Saint, Mabel Holy One, and my Master, Sage Cato. They are..."
Lelei first gave a detailed introduction of the identities of these individuals, then emphasized their purpose for coming again.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk then. Please."
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley nodded his head.
But just as he was about to turn around and enter the main gate, Lelei spoke again, saying, "Before this, Loli Saint hopes you can send someone to receive the gift our gods have prepared for the World Government. It's in the sixth carriage."
"Certainly, no problem."
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley agreed indifferently.
Then he gave instructions to a nearby soldier.
Not long after.
Everyone walked into the meeting room on the third floor one by one and took seats on the left and right sides of the long table.
However, only Rory, Mabel Von, Cato, and Lieutenant Colonel Bradley and Clan Leader Shibi Aburame opposite them were seated.
The others, including Lelei, the six cult apostles, the three master mages, and those three chunin, all stood behind them.
The first meeting between both sides officially began.
First, Rory Mercury accused the World Government of arbitrarily sending people into this world and also taking the lead in attacking the Empire and Rondel City, causing a large number of casualties among innocent people.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, however, stated that the World Government's purpose was to conquer this world.
Therefore, these actions were all normal and reasonable.
He then pointed out that the Empire had also previously directly dispatched troops to massacre the Ginza residents opposite the 'Gate'.
"Loli Saint says that it is impossible for the World Government to conquer this world, because this Falmart Continent is ruled by the gods. However, the gods are willing to engage in various aspects of cooperation and transactions with the World Government."
Lelei stood beside them and translated with her soft voice.
"Whether it's possible or not, you'll only know after trying. Up until now, the World Government has already conquered six worlds."
"The 'Nuclear World' opposite the 'Gate' is about to become the seventh. So, why do you think your side won't be the eighth?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley smiled slightly.
Sitting beside him, Shibi Aburame, wearing sunglasses, remained silent the whole time.
Lelei translated for Rory and the others expressionlessly.
"Mabel Holy One says that the worlds you previously conquered probably didn't have gods, right?"
"But our world has eleven chief gods. This is a strength that mortals absolutely cannot resist, not even your admirals!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley was just about to reply when he suddenly heard Shibi Aburame speak.
"Why do you think our admirals are not opponents? Is it based on evidence, or purely based on imagination?"
"Mabel Holy One says that the Goddess Freya of the 'God of the Sun and Light' told him that the chief gods have already seen the battle scene of your Admiral Ryokugyu and that Madara Uchiha, and stated that although the strength of the two is not bad, it is far from reaching the divine realm!"
Lelei translated thus.
However, these words caused Shibi Aburame, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, and the three chunin behind them to have their expressions change drastically.
Admiral Ryokugyu and Madara Uchiha are far from being opponents to this world's gods?!
How is this possible? No, wait, is this possible?
Uh... it seems there is this possibility.
After all, beings like gods just sound very strong.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley thought of the myths and legends of the various nations in the Demon Slayer World.
While Shibi Aburame and these ninja thought of the legendary Sage of Six Paths from the Ninja World.
"Hehe, since that's the case, why bother talking with us and saying you want cooperation and transactions? Why not just attack directly?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley suppressed the shock in his heart and retorted with a fake smile.
"Loli Saint says that because the gods are merciful, they are not interested in invading other worlds."
"Therefore, for the past few thousand years, every 'Gate Opening' has always been a passive waiting for otherworld races willing to come and settle in our world."
"Their purpose is to make this world more prosperous. This time, hoping to reach cooperation with your side is also for this reason."
"As for the Imperial Forces massacring the Japanese people, it was completely the Empire's own decision and has nothing to do with the chief gods."
Lelei translated again.
Then she took it upon herself to recount the history of this Falmart Continent.
After listening, Lieutenant Colonel Bradley and Shibi Aburame exchanged glances.
Opening the 'Gate of Space-Time' every few hundred years, waiting for otherworld civilizations to enter, and never actively invading other worlds?
Why does this sound so strange...
"Loli Saint says there is also a second point as to why your side cannot conquer this world."
At this moment, Lelei spoke again, saying, "That is, the 'Gate' opened by the gods, the control is in their hands, and it can be opened and closed at any time."
"Moreover, the duration each time is at most one year, because during the 'Gate' opening process, it will continuously bring earthquakes to both worlds. Once the time limit is exceeded, both worlds will completely collapse and destruction."
"Huh?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley looked at Lelei in surprise.
They had actually already anticipated that the 'Gate's control was in the gods' hands.
But the fact that the 'Gate' opening process would produce earthquakes and only stay open for a maximum of one year was very inexplicable.
He had also thought that this 'Gate' and the 'Star Gate' were the same thing.
But now it seems the 'Gate' manufactured by the other side is purely shoddy!
However, this was indeed very important information.
[Knock knock knock!]
At this moment, the meeting room's door was urgently knocked on.
Then, without waiting for them to speak, someone just walked straight in.
"What is it?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley looked at the person displeasedly.
But this soldier hurriedly leaned close to his ear and spoke in a low voice.
Beside him, Shibi Aburame, who had sharp hearing, had his expression suddenly change after hearing it. With a 'bang', he pushed his chair away and stood up.
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley did likewise, suddenly standing up and glaring angrily at Rory, Cato, and the others.
"Your so-called gift is the corpses of our fallen personnel!"
The reason why he had such a strong reaction was because the soldier told him that Rear Admiral Bud and Jonin Ay were also among them.
"Loli Saint says, we returned the remains of your war dead, isn't that a good intention?"
"Moreover, that Rear Admiral Bud and Jonin Ay didn't die either, they still have a breath left."
Shibi Aburame said with an extremely cold tone, "But you crippled their limbs!"
Facing their terrifying gazes, Lelei said softly.
"Mabel Holy One says, they attacked the Imperial Capital and Rondel, shouldn't they receive punishment? Moreover, this is also a warning from the gods towards your arbitrary invasion."
They saw that Mabel the Demigod proudly raised her chin and looked at Shibi Aburame and the others with a cold smile.
The atmosphere inside the meeting room instantly dropped to the freezing point.
