Chapter 1242: Dragon's Anger!
Stussy's sapphire-like eyes were filled with glistening tears and endless sorrow.
She tightly covered her mouth, suppressing the pain in her heart, and hurried out of the study room.
But she forgot the Imperial Arms prepared for her on the table.
Seeing this, Im silently transferred it into Stussy's jacket pocket.
This was the only thing he could do for her.
After this, the psychological recovery required her to adjust herself.
After all, some things in life can only be understood and accepted on one's own.
"Hoo----"
A moment later, Im took a deep breath, exhaling the heavy mood in his heart.
He was indeed not very good at handling such matters of love.
So he forced himself to shift his attention to other things.
Ultimately, he was the ruler of the World Government, and there were countless things he needed to focus on.
Among them, one matter particularly bothered Im.
Speaking of which, it was related to Aramaki. He wondered what would have happened if he hadn't arrived in time.
Wouldn't Aramaki have been replaced by Otsutsuki Isshiki without anyone knowing?
From then on, a spy from the Otsutsuki Civilization would appear among the higher-ups of the World Government?
Thinking of this consequence, Im felt lingering fear.
So he was thinking about how to prevent such things from happening again, and how to further ensure the safety of high-level combatants.
There were so many experts in the Myriad Worlds. In the future, they would inevitably face more and more challenges, and even desperate situations.
As he thought, Im connected it to the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', which is spatial teleportation.
What if a space device could be made that could be carried around and activated at any time?
Then, once they encountered an unbeatable situation, they could instantly return to a pre-set coordinate.
Taking Aramaki as an example, if he had such a thing on him at the time, he could have escaped back to Loulan, or near the 'Star Gate'.
This would not only save his life but also successfully bring back the opponent's intelligence.
Of course, this was not foolproof.
If the power difference between the two sides was too great, and the space device was activated before being knocked out or killed, or if the opponent possessed some ability to seal space, then they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Especially the latter, there was truly no method.
But for the former, Im felt there was a method for improvement.
For example, adding a retrieval function to the device, so that it automatically activates teleportation when the wearer loses consciousness.
This way, whether dead or alive, the opponent would at least not get the victim's body.
"Okay, next I'll focus on researching this."
The more Im thought about it, the more feasible he found it, finding the focus of his work outside of cultivation.
He had just learned solid theoretical knowledge of space from Minato Namikaze, which he could use now.
If he found the difficulty somewhat high later, he could completely ask Minato Namikaze, who was already the dean of the Space Research Institute, for help.
Of course, the naming rights for the final device definitely couldn't involve him.
Thinking it, he did it. Im was swift and decisive, immediately vanishing into the Celestial Dragon Realm in his right palm.
But who knew, two seconds later, he was back in the study room.
"Right, these two things must be left here first. After Stussy calms down, I'll have her send them to Dragon and Borsalino."
As his self-talk finished, Im disappeared without a trace again.
But two things appeared on the table.
One was a pair of sunglasses with a golden frame and orange lenses, occasionally emitting bursts of red light. It was a glasses-type Divine Arms named 'Sun Goddess. Freya'.
The other was a pair of dark green, fingerless combat gloves with a black cloud pattern printed on the back.
Its surface flowed with visible wisps of wind, and it was a gauntlets-type Divine Arms named 'Night Wind Goddess. Ra'.
Both possessed divinity of different attributes. As long as they carefully perceived the power within them, it would definitely bring considerable benefits to Borsalino and Dragon.
These were gifts from Im to them.
Especially Dragon, he was not neglected just because he didn't participate in external conquest.
Im understood clearly that a person like Dragon was the shield protecting the Sea Star mainland.
Therefore, he needed to be given more resources to compensate for the lack of high-intensity combat.
About thirty minutes later, Stussy, looking like she had recovered, returned to the study room.
She first placed them separately into square boxes, then stored them in the domain of 'Daikokuten'.
"Ah..."
Finally, she just sighed softly, looking at the empty chair opposite the table.
Then she turned and left the room, continuing to fulfill her duties and work.
This woman ultimately accepted Im's positioning of her and accepted his trust in her.
She wanted to be the most useful woman by Im's side!
Im, who was in the top floor of the Celestial Dragon Realm, seemed to perceive everything happening outside.
He was seen with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, but immediately immersed himself in the research of the 'Space Transfer Device'.
Everyone in the World Government had their own work.
Stussy was like this, the Five Elders were like this, and Im was also like this.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, various affairs of the World Government were progressing rapidly.
The reform, equipment changes, personnel mobilization of the Star Realm Army, and the construction of the new headquarters building.
On the Nuclear World side, under the pressure of the Otherworld Strategy Committee member, the United Nations, led by the three major strong nations, could only bite the bullet and roughly push forward currency unification and law reform.
And hand over all military power and troops, retaining only the police force that needed to be supervised by the World Government's Ministry of Police Affairs.
Of course, the World Government didn't need so many soldiers.
After the Star Realm Army completes its reform, they will begin to select the elite from the nations' troops.
Those who were unqualified will be given corresponding resettlement fees based on their military rank and retired and sent home.
Also, everything from the nations, from large aircraft carriers, various models of warships, fighter aircraft, bomber ships, main battle tanks, down to light and heavy machine guns, automatic firearms, rocket launchers, etc., must all be sent to the 'Third Special Zone/Japan' to be handed over to the World Government for inspection and reception.
Finally, through the 'Halkeginia Gate' and the 'Space Gate' newly opened by Im, they would be sent to the Canberra Continent in the Titan World for storage, or melted down into basic steel, ready for manufacturing other weapons and equipment.
Just talking about the entire process shows how massive the project was.
But the officials from various departments of the World Government were already used to being busy.
Fortunately, the benefits and treatment were improving year by year, and they didn't need to worry about their own health and that of their family.
With the current medical standards of the World Government, every Sea Star person, barring accidents, could basically live to their lifespan limit. There was no situation of dying from illness or being unable to be saved from severe injuries.
It should be known that any civilian on Sea Star now could enjoy eighty percent free medical resources.
Not to mention these officials.
One hundred percent might be too absolute, but ninety percent was definitely not a problem.
So although they had almost no rest days and had to ask for leave to go home, they still had considerable enthusiasm for work.
Especially work that required going to other worlds.
That attracted every official to sign up eagerly, and even generated competition.
It was simply that these officials, who were only considered small fry in the World Government, would receive unimaginable top-tier treatment once they arrived in these worlds.
No matter what it was, even a beauty, they didn't need to explicitly ask.
Just an intentional or unintentional gaze would immediately make the smart people in various worlds understand, and then deliver it to their hands or before them through various means.
This caused corruption and crime to become increasingly rampant, leading to the already busy workload of CIPHER POL and the Ministry of Police Affairs also increasing daily.
Sea Star mainland.
Dragon sat in the minister's office, looking solemnly at the reports on the holographic virtual image.
These were investigation reports sent from CIPHER POL Headquarters.
After all, they only had otherworld investigation authority, so arresting people still required the police.
"The face of the Sea Star people has been completely lost by these idiots!" Dragon couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Although the World Government was relatively clean internally now, people who couldn't control their desire would appear at any time.
Immediately, he forwarded all these reports to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, which had Sea Star investigation authority.
After they conducted a secondary investigation and confirmed the evidence, the Public Security Department would be responsible for the arrest.
If there were experts among them who resisted and ordinary police officers couldn't handle it, the Public Security Department could apply for support from the Military Police Bureau, where Charlotte Katakuri served as the bureau chief.
Dragon didn't care how high the rank of these officials was, or how big their background was.
Since the evidence was conclusive, they would all be arrested and locked up in 'White Earth Prison'!
[Thump thump thump]
Just then, the door was knocked on, and Dragon didn't pay attention.
"Please come in."
