**Chapter 1153: Ay, Crippled in All Four Limbs!**
Just as Rory Mercury and others, representing the Special Zone World, were holding their first meeting with Bradley, Shibi Aburame, and others...
Meanwhile, in Japan within the Nuclear World.
In front of a certain villa residence in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo Metropolis, a circle of white light mass suddenly appeared out of thin air.
When the white light inside vanished, only the outline remained. It was seen transforming into a circular spatial-temporal passage connecting two worlds.
This was Void Magic's 'World Gate'.
As expected, Tabitha, Kirche, Yunlong Ilukuku, Tiffania, Hodoriyu, Durga, and also Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, Kurokawa Mari, Kuwabara Souichirou, Higashi Tatsuki, and Daisuke Tozu, these members of the Ground Self-Defense Force, walked out one by one from inside.
However, they seemed to have changed their clothing and were no longer in their previous military attire.
But weapons such as firearms, grenades, and blades were still carried on them.
Finally, Hiraga Saito and Louise emerged from the 'World Gate', accompanied by Sage Mimochaza and two Doctor-level Mages.
They were both Sage Mimochaza's former students.
One was named Schaffali, and the other was named Mormont. Both were very famous female Mages in Rondel City.
Originally, Lelei wanted to follow along, but considering the danger of this operation, Sage Mimochaza still resolutely refused the request of what was very likely her last student.
As for why Mimochaza herself wanted to come along.
It was mainly because Sage Cato stated that Lelei, who was heading to the Hill of Alnus, needed protection.
So, after reconsidering, she still agreed to the request of Louise and the others.
She decided to help them bring their family members back to the Falmart Continent.
Although she wasn't as skilled in combat as Cato, she was still a Sage, no matter what.
Her magic level was definitely far superior to ordinary Doctors, or even Master-level Mages.
"Phew—, that's great, my magic can indeed be used normally. This saves a lot of trouble!"
Louise turned around, looking at the 'World Gate' rapidly disappearing before her eyes, and said with a grin.
Before coming, they had gone to the Shrine of the 'God of the Underworld, Hanty' and successfully obtained permission to open the 'gate'.
But the price was that after Louise brought their family members back, she had to worship Hanty as her Chief God, which meant becoming her Apostle.
Hanty also promised that at that time, she would bestow divinity upon Louise, allowing her to become an 'Undying Ability' demigod.
This way, after a thousand years, her soul could transcend her physique and become a new Chief God.
Louise immediately wanted to refuse flatly at the time.
Because she had always believed in Brimir.
Who was the Magic Progenitor of the Halkeginia Continent in the Familiar of Zero World.
Her Void Magic originated from him.
But who knew that at that time, a strange voice suddenly sounded in her heart.
[Louise, agree to her!]
Louise was startled at the time.
But she inexplicably realized that the owner of this voice was Brimir.
So, she subconsciously followed her inner voice and agreed to Hanty.
However, she didn't really care about becoming a god, as she was now solely focused on bringing her family back.
"Louise, can you please send us home?"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji looked around at the surrounding environment, then softly asked Louise.
"Of course, this is what we agreed on before. But you don't need to come again tomorrow. The next matter will be very dangerous, and I don't want to involve you."
Louise said this to the Ground Self-Defense Force members.
It was she who had proactively suggested bringing Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji and the others back to Japan before.
And Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji and the others stated that afterwards, they were willing to help her rescue her parents.
Hmm, in their view, the World Government was evil.
Then the family members of Louise and others, who were in areas ruled by the World Government, must certainly be suffering persecution and bullying.
It's just that after discussing with Hiraga Saito, Louise felt there was no need to bring Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji and the others along.
After all, with their strength, if they came along, it was very likely they wouldn't even be able to protect themselves.
"How can this be? You helped us get home, we should also help you!"
It's just that Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji didn't realize this and replied to Louise with a serious expression.
"Hmm..."
Louise looked awkwardly at Hiraga Saito beside her.
The latter rubbed the back of his head, unsure what to do either. He couldn't just say directly, "You are too weak, you will only drag us down," right?
"You are too weak, you will only drag us down."
Suddenly, Doctor Schaffali voiced their thoughts coldly.
"What?!"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji and others were stunned.
They subconsciously felt, 'What kind of joke are you making?'
'We are professional Soldiers of the Ground Self-Defense Force!'
'We previously eliminated over a hundred thousand troops of your World Empire!'
But they immediately realized that in front of these mages, the weapons in their hands were indeed insufficient.
"Although your weapons have good power, you yourselves are after all just ordinary people, and what we will face next will definitely be battles between Transcendent beings."
Doctor Schaffali pointed out the problem somewhat coldly.
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, Kuwabara Souichirou, and the others looked at each other. Their expressions weren't very good, but they couldn't refute.
Moreover, except for Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, the other four didn't really want to continue participating in dangerous operations.
They now only wanted to quickly reunite with their families and live a peaceful life.
Therefore, they didn't say anything more.
The five walked one by one into the 'gate' that Louise had opened for them and returned to their respective homes.
And Hiraga Saito then led everyone, finally returning home again and seeing his mother and Siesta.
This time, his mother already knew about her son's previous crossing over experience, so she was no longer as surprised as before.
Instead, she and Siesta told them about the situation in this world.
For example, Japan existed only in name.
Most cities had already been taken over by the World Government's army...
——World Dividing Line——
Hill of Alnus.
After Rory Mercury, Mabel Von, Sage Cato, Lelei, and the others finished conveying the words that the Chief God required them to pass on to the World Government, they didn't linger at all and directly returned and left.
Originally, they also wanted to go to Japan on the other side of the 'gate' to meet the true higher-ups of the World Government.
But the angry appearance of Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, Shibi Aburame, and the others made them immediately abandon this idea.
"I wonder if they are simply ignorant and fearless, or if the gods of this world truly have strength that even the World Government is helpless against, which is why they dare to be so reckless?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bradley looked at the compensation list in his hand and shook his head, sighing helplessly.
This was given to them by Sage Cato.
He said that the World Government had to compensate for the destruction caused to Rondel by the Ninjas before, including condolence money for the family members of over a thousand deceased.
Perhaps in the eyes of Cato and others, this was a matter of course.
But in Lieutenant Colonel Bradley's eyes, this was arrogance and insolence.
Make the World Government compensate?
How audacious!
"Commander, the Lightning Minister of the Sea Ninja Village has arrived!"
At this moment, a soldier walked over in a hurry and said to Lieutenant Colonel Bradley.
*Swish!*
But before Lieutenant Colonel Bradley could say anything.
Shibi Aburame and three other Chunin beside him instantly turned into streaks of afterimages and disappeared.
"Ay!!!"
In a second-floor room of the small building serving as a temporary hospital inside the camp.
Old Ay, who had rushed over from the Titan World, couldn't help but let out an exclamation as soon as he saw his son lying on the bed, who had fallen into a coma.
"This! This! This is..."
And when he saw that Ay's limbs were completely missing, the pupil in his eye suddenly contracted.
Then he glared fiercely at the medical ninja beside him.
"What is going on here? Explain it clearly to this old man!"
"Lightning Minister, when Rear Admiral Bud and Jonin Ay were brought in, his limbs were already completely charred and necrotic."
"We performed amputation surgery to save his life."
After speaking, this medical ninja added in a hurry:
"But please rest assured, with the World Government's current medical technology, we definitely have the ability to restore Jonin Ay's limbs!"
'It's just that I don't know what conditions are needed, or how great the price is...'
Just as Rory Mercury and others, representing the Special Zone World, were holding their first meeting with Bradley, Shibi Aburame, and others...
