Chapter 1402: The World Government Shocks the Eight Great Worlds! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Jia Xu Hermit)
The Award Ceremony for the Top 10 of the Multiverse Top 100 Power Contest.
Naturally, it was lively, and the momentum was certainly grand enough.
After all, it was an event watched by hundreds of millions, even nearly twenty billion people, simultaneously.
However, for Im, the process was not worth mentioning.
Only the rewards obtained and the wishes made by these ten contestants were somewhat interesting.
Let's start with Doctor Tian Zhi, who ranked tenth.
Hmm... his wish was to enter the Biochemical Research Institute.
He received a bounty of 4.9 million Berry, equivalent to 100 million Berry from before.
So, congratulations to the Biochemical Research Institute for gaining a Rogue Scientist from the Ninja World.
His main research area is the biochemical modification of Marine Creatures, with the goal of turning himself into an amphibious creature.
It's just unclear why he didn't include 'flying'. Isn't flying more appealing?
Sasha, who ranked ninth, received a bounty of 9.8 million Berry, equivalent to the former 200 million Berry.
Her wish was for Louise and Hiraga Saito, currently in Impel Down, to gain freedom!
To be honest, this wish gave Im a feeling that was unexpected, yet reasonable.
Sasha must have learned about this from Brimir.
Since the subordinates couldn't make a decision, they had to report it up layer by layer until it reached him.
This also made Im think for a long time.
He had previously intended for Louise and Hiraga Saito to stay inside for at least five years.
This would allow them to learn a profound lesson and henceforth hold some awe towards the World Government.
But releasing them now was indeed too short.
It hadn't even been a year yet!
Ultimately, Im's reply was 'Rejected. Top 10 wishes must not challenge World Government law, but you are allowed to exchange for another wish.'
Of course, there are people in this world who can disregard law, such as himself.
But apart from that, the fewer such people, the better.
Even Celestial Dragons can only act within the scope of their privilege; anything more excessive must have his permission.
Currently, the World Government's communication means are very efficient.
Therefore, the process from reporting up to receiving a reply could be completed right there at the Award Ceremony site.
Naturally, the people in the Multiverse Duel Arena didn't know this was Im's answer; they only knew it was a decision from the World Government's Higher-Ups.
This greatly disappointed Sasha and those sitting in the Colored Cloud Box, including Brimir, Tiffania, and Durga.
Especially Brimir, who guessed that Lord Im had rejected it.
Immediately, Sasha exchanged her wish. Her wish was to resurrect Durga's Father, Hodorir Le Marsil!
He was the Male Elf who was previously sentenced to death penalty at Enies Lobby.
Frankly speaking, Sasha's wish again put the World Government in a difficult situation.
The purpose of the death penalty is to inflict death upon the criminal; what sense does it make to resurrect them now?
Of course, if one were to be a stickler, they could argue that the death penalty had already been carried out, Hodorir had already died once, and thus had paid the penalty.
His current resurrection was due to Sasha's wish as a Top 10 contestant and had nothing to do with the judiciary.
But no matter what, it felt a bit strange.
In the end, Im still had to make the final decision. After thought, this time he agreed.
Although it was a bit strange, it made sense logically.
Moreover, Hodorir wasn't an important figure; whether he was resurrected or not didn't matter.
The process also had no difficulty; he just needed to have Yama find his soul.
Then hand it over to Brimir for spellcasting and rebirth. At most, it would consume a small Philosopher's Stone shard.
Of course, Im now controls the Sea Star world's 'Star Fate' and could also have Dark Imu act to resurrect him.
But a mere ordinary Falmart Elf Tribe member wasn't qualified for him to personally take action.
At most, when Brimir was spellcasting, Dark Imu would temporarily open authority, allowing Hodorir's soul to return to the Human World.
"F-Father is going to be resurrected..."
Inside the Colored Cloud Box, Durga stared blankly at Sasha standing on the podium below.
"Waaah————"
The next second, she actually wailed loudly, directly pouncing into Brimir's arms.
"Thank you! Thank you all! I really don't know how to thank you, woo woo woo woo..."
Brimir awkwardly spread his arms, looking helplessly at Tiffania and Nail Clipper Bryan.
He signaled with his gaze, indicating that they should bear witness for him, that he hadn't taken the opportunity to do anything to Durga.
However, Tiffania didn't notice at all, smiling with a face full of happiness, "This is truly wonderful, we can see Mr. Hodorir again!"
But in her heart, she actually hoped Sasha's first wish could have been realized more.
And Bryan, standing behind Tiffania, was shocked and uncertain, shouting wildly in his mind:
"Could it be that this World Government really has the ability to bring the deceased back to life?"
"What kind of joke is this? Resurrection, this kind of matter, what level of magic is it in our world!"
In fact, it wasn't just Bryan from the Bone King World.
Many audience members in the Multiverse Duel Arena also held suspicion about this.
Until Brimir received a call from Im, and then took out a scarlet crystal shard from his embrace.
He threw it out of the box.
Then he took out his magic wand and cast the Void Magic named 'Life' upon it.
With a crisp 'Ring' sound.
A bright white light bloomed from the tip of the magic wand, and surging magic power also gushed from Brimir, causing his gorgeous magic robe to flutter up and down.
But all these scenes were blocked by the wall of the Colored Cloud Box.
At the same time.
The Philosopher's Stone shard that flew outside suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling white light,
Instantly attracting the attention of the entire court and the hundreds of millions of audience members in front of all the screens.
In their eyes, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the void, then quickly formed a white light pillar descending from the sky, landing right in front of Sasha.
After about ten seconds, the light pillar gradually shrunk until it dissipated.
But on the stage, a Male Elf appeared, with long pointed ears, gentle dark blue eyes, golden hair combed back and tied into a ponytail at the end.
"Are you Durga Luna Marsil's Father, Hodorir Le Marsil?"
Sasha asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am. I have already learned the situation from the Human Path Division of the Underworld. Thank you very much for allowing me to see my daughter and live again..."
After speaking, Hodorir lowered his head, bent his waist, and performed a ninety-degree bow towards Sasha.
Sasha did not refuse, calmly accepting his gratitude, while also digesting the shock in her heart.
It's true!
The World Government really did it, this matter of resurrecting the deceased!
(ROAR)
The next moment, the entire court erupted, and nearly 500,000 audience members were completely dumbfounded.
The World Government really fulfilled Sasha's wish!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Also, what was the Underworld Human Path Division that Hodorir just mentioned?
Right, he just said it, didn't he!
It definitely wasn't that they misheard, there really is a netherworld after death?
And the netherworld has an organization that sounds like an official one.
How did the World Government establish contact with them?
Could it be that they paid some kind of price, requesting the Underworld to respond?
Suddenly, a large amount of thoughts echoed in the minds of countless people, they completely couldn't hold back anymore.
From this moment on, the quota for the Top 10 of the Top 100 Competition would become one of the most precious resources under the World Government.
Who doesn't have relatives and friends they wish to resurrect?
Oh my god, is the World Government actually strong to this extent? One by one, the audience members felt their fundamental understanding of the world was being strongly shaken.
The Sea Star world, Kabaneri, Giant, Demon Slayer, Imperial Arms, Familiar of Zero, Ninja, Nuclear Weapon, and other Eight Great Worlds.
At this moment, continuous exclamations were sounding in cities big and small!
World Government!
World Government!!
World Government!!!
