Chapter 1195: The Strange Mist of Nothingness!
The ten deities were taken into the 'Celestial Dragon Realm' by Im. From then on, they were no longer the chief gods of the Falmart World. Instead, they were merely alchemy materials Im was about to use.
This also meant that the World Government's biggest obstacle to conquering the Falmart World had finally disappeared. Upon receiving this information, the Command Department immediately issued an order to General Pershing of the Auxiliary Legion. They ordered him to dispatch more troops into the Falmart World to take over the Empire's cities and the territories of various races.
Meanwhile, in the Nuclear World. The surviving or newly appointed leaders of various nations began announcing their unconditional surrender to the World Government, both domestically and internationally. They stated that they would submit a formal surrender document under the name of the United Nations and prayed to become a part of the World Government.
On this day, the citizens of various nations reacted differently. Some roared, accusing those above them of being greedy for life and afraid of death, believing they still had guns and cannons and should fight to the bitter end! Others cheered, tightly hugging their families and crying tears of joy, celebrating the end of the war and loudly praising the leaders' decision! But most people were simply silent, silent, and more silent. They silently accepted the fact that the entire world had been conquered, while either worrying about or looking forward to their future lives.
The World Government seemed well-prepared. They immediately dispatched a massive team of over five thousand people, composed of officials and experts from various fields such as politics, diplomacy, economy, law, construction, and education, who arrived in the Nuclear World under the close protection of CP1 members.
They first appeared at the Yokosuka Port Base via the 'Halkeginia Gate'. Then, they took transport planes belonging to the Auxiliary Army Air Force and traveled in teams to great, strong, and rich nations like the Lighthouse Country, Rakshasa Country, Yuangu Nation, Tianzhu Country, and AoYa Country.
As for Japan, no one paid it any mind. Because according to convention, it was destined to have its national status abolished and become a directly subordinate area of the World Government.
Just like the Jiaopenji Nation in the Demon Slayer World became the current Second Special Zone. Then Japan in this Nuclear World should be called the Third Special Zone.
The citizens of these Special Zones were neither national citizens nor World Government civilians. Without permission, let alone leaving the island, they couldn't even leave the city they were in freely.
A portion would become basic labor. They would produce various items needed by the Sea Star in factories of all sizes.
Another portion, those with good appearance, would be trained as professional servants, supplied or sold to various places.
This is currently the situation in the Demon Slayer World's 'Second Special Zone'. Their figures can be seen in the wealthy families of various nations.
The World Government prohibits the existence of slaves, but professional servants are allowed. And it is stipulated that their bloodline must be 'Special Zone people'!
That is to say, people from other nations are prohibited from being servants of any kind.
Of course, the World Government also guaranteed the basic personal safety of these servants. It is stipulated that no one is allowed to kill them arbitrarily. If dissatisfied, they can be returned to the 'Special Zone'.
And the returned servants will be sent to the factory.
Regarding this practice, Kagaya Ubuyashiki raised doubts, asking why the Jiaopenji people were being abused like this. He felt that since the Jiaopenji Nation had become a directly subordinate Special Zone of the World Government, they should receive better treatment and development.
In fact, internal World Government officials also had doubts about this. They didn't understand where the Jiaopenji people had offended the higher-ups?
However, the higher-ups gave no response, completely ignoring these voices.
For the Five Elders, since there were no more slaves, they had to create a similar substitute for the Celestial Dragons, and the people from the 'Special Zones' were just right.
So after a few years, the servants who now serve the Celestial Dragons in their daily life within the 'Holy Land Mary Geoise'. Basically, they have all been replaced by 'Second Special Zone people' from the Demon Slayer World.
However, it won't be long before 'Third Special Zone people' from the Nuclear World appear.
Regarding this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki could only let out a long sigh and said no more. Because they are now no longer Jiaopenji people, but Sea Star people, and need to consider the situation of their family members.
That he could speak up for his hometown once was already considered doing his utmost.
As for Muzan Kibutsuji, the 'Chairman of the Demon Slayer International Alliance', he doesn't care at all about the so-called hometown.
He actually doesn't even care about the life and death of the Demon Slayer World people. He just felt that the Demon Slayer World could improve his own standing within the World Government and serve as the base of his influence.
So Muzan Kibutsuji will occasionally go back to attend the banquets held by dignitaries of various nations. And also see if there are any talented individuals.
Now, more and more people among the civilian population of the Demon Slayer World can use Breathing Style. Especially the prestigious clans and nobility of various nations.
It's just that although quite a few people can already perform one or two techniques. The geniuses favored by Muzan Kibutsuji have not yet appeared.
As for the military, that is the Auxiliary Legion, and it has no relation to him, Muzan.
Sea Star Mainland, Mary Geoise. Inside Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders were gathered in the Room of Authority.
They were looking solemnly at the footage projected into mid-air by the Den Den Mushi. The content inside was a patch of darkness and a patch of light.
The light part looked like a long abandoned uninhabited city. There were many stone buildings and paths overgrown with weeds.
This was the northernmost part of the Falmart Continent, a place even further north than the Ice and Snow Mountain Range. And these images were footage captured by drones.
The reason was Dunken, the 'God of Flame and Forging', who had received a special pardon from Lord Imu and was allowed by Garp to be brought back to the Sea Star. He actively revealed the biggest secret about the Falmart World to the World Government.
A top secret concerning doomsday! The Mist of Nothingness, also called the Outer Mist, which surrounds the world and devours everything, something even gods cannot stop, and can make everything return to chaos!
Although very slow, it is indeed constantly eroding the edge of this world. Until the world completely falls into endless darkness.
And now, these scenes captured by drone after drone confirmed that what Dunken said was true.
Subordinates had tried to let the drone fly into the Black Mist to check the situation inside. But three times in a row, they all went in and never returned. As long as a drone flies in, it will instantly lose contact with the outside world.
Even if it was tied with a time bomb, there was no sign of any explosion. Other detection and attack methods were also like this.
"Looks a bit like the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit..."
Peter Saint, who is in charge of CP, with a head of meticulously styled golden hair, was sitting on a single sofa with his legs crossed. Ever since Im specifically gave the Dark-Dark Fruit to Rob Lucci, who was training on Kona Island. He has paid more attention to it and is naturally familiar with the performance of the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability.
"There's something strange. This planet has had a considerable area devoured from all sides, but the planet itself hasn't shown any linked effects." "Their earth and oceans are still very stable, and the sun and moon are also operating normally. Most people can still live normally."
Mars Saint, the 'Science Defense Warrior God', stood beside the sofa, stroking his long straight beard and said in a deep voice.
"That is to say, this Black Mist is not a natural phenomenon, but some kind of supernatural entity."
Hearing his words, the other four looked at each other.
At this moment, Topman Warcury Saint, who was sitting in the center of the connected sofas, asked:
"Mist of Nothingness, doesn't it sound a bit familiar?"
Saint Nasujuro, who was beside him, holding the Shodai Kitetsu in his arms, immediately spoke up: "Void Magic from the Familiar of Zero World!"
"Right, This Old Man feels the two might have a certain connection."
"We can first ask Joseph from the Magic Association, and that Pope from the Brimir Religion."
"If that doesn't work, we can have someone ask Brimir himself, who is inside Louise's body."
Topman Warcury Saint proposed suggestions one after another.
Saint Saturn nodded: "Okay, This Old Man will now give orders to Impel Down."
"Should we also report to Lord Imu?"
"Don't worry, I already reported before coming."
Peter Saint said with a curl of his lip: "How could you possibly see this intelligence earlier than Lord Imu?"
"That's good then."
Saint Saturn didn't mind at all, and instead agreed very much.
"We just need to understand the situation. How it ultimately turns out still requires Lord Imu's decision."
