Chapter 478: The Unlucky Demon Slayer World!
[Swish swish swish]
The sound of the pen nib scratching across the white paper was very pleasant and comforting, but Im also knew clearly what his agreement to the Five Elders' Plan represented.
It represented that everyone in the Demon Slayer World was about to suffer an undeserved calamity!
Why?
Just look at the various world-class engineering projects listed in this Plan. The Labor Force required far exceeds tens of thousands; it would probably be in the millions, right?
And this is just the Laborers needed for laying global railways and building Ports, Airports, and Warehouses.
Also, to manufacture Firearms, Cannon, trains, Tanks, Warships, and Airplanes, they certainly require a large number of Workers in the Factories.
Furthermore, Food, Clothing, and so on, all require people to grow and make them.
And once the Cannon, Tanks, Warships, and Airplanes are manufactured, won't people be needed to operate them? So they will also need a large Military Source.
Besides this, the Defensive Works and various Buildings in the 'Titan World' also require Laborers.
We can't possibly let the noble Sea Star People do such rough work, can we?
What?
You ask why the many people in the 'Titan World' aren't doing it?
It's simple.
Didn't the World Government just announce that they would enter a period of 'Absolute Freedom' limited to twenty years? How could they turn around and immediately drag them off to do manual labor?
After all, if they are Laborers, they must be managed, and someone must be responsible for providing them with Food and Clothing. What kind of 'Freedom' would that be?
It would be completely damaging the World Government's Reputation!
How could that be allowed?
So, only the billions of people from the 'Demon Slayer World' can bear this heavy responsibility!
Oh, right.
The vast amount of land in the 'Kabaneri World', for planting Crops or raising livestock on it, also requires people.
But the small Population of 'Hinamoto' is only enough to meet the Laborers needed on their own island.
What to do then?
As expected, Laborers still have to be transferred from the 'Demon Slayer World'.
In summary, most people in the 'Demon Slayer World' will basically only have three major professions to choose from from now on.
Soldiers, Workers, and farmers.
However, if a new Star Gate is opened next year and the Conquest can be successfully completed, perhaps a new World will share the World Government's needs for Laborers.
Therefore, for the 'Demon Slayer World', this is purely an undeserved calamity.
They clearly didn't commit any major mistakes.
But thinking carefully about the causal relationship involved, it seems they were also screwed over by Eren Yeager, oh no, by Ymir!
Think about it.
If the 'Titan World' hadn't received the World Government's judgment and Punishment, they could have shared at least half of this Laborers' Pressure, right?
As it stands,
For at least a year, all the Pressure is on the 'Demon Slayer World'.
So, if the people of the 'Demon Slayer World' want to blame someone, they should blame the people of the 'Titan World'. As for the World Government, just ask, do they dare?
After signing the Plan.
Im sat down and picked up the next Report to read. These Documents were arranged in order of priority according to the Five Elders.
He just found that most of them were progress Reports on various matters in the 'Titan World'.
For example.
The Army's nine heavy armored groups, composed of Tanks, Motorcycles, and Trucks and organized into nine routes, five of which have begun launching Attacks on the major military bases in the north, east, and west of Marley.
At the same time, trucks full of Army Soldiers poured into every City, large and small, along the way, carrying out a bloody Elimination of all personnel within the Administrative Departments, police stations, and even Banks who were deemed beneficial to Order.
But they turned a blind eye to the majority of the frightened Citizens, and once the clearing was done, they continued to board the trucks and head to the next City.
The other four groups were still on their way to the Middle East Alliance.
However, the Air Force Fleet led by Kizaru, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin had already arrived above the Capital Cities of the Middle East Alliance countries ahead of them and launched a large-scale bombing attack.
Yasakani no Magatama, Boro Breath, Dragon Twister, Tenman Daijizaitenjin—these large-scale Techniques are basically used three or four times every day.
Even the 'Jet Cannon Shells' on the Flying Warships were getting stretched thin.
It can be said that this is the World Government's Military launching a global attack on the 'Titan World'!
On the other side.
Fisher Tiger led the Marine Headquarters' Fish-Man Unit to the 'Titan World', and then, following the Command Department's Order, accompanied Navy Admiral Candidate Aokiji, searching the Sea Area surrounding Marley for other Grotesque Worms.
"Not bad, it seems everyone is quite busy." Im looked at the Report in his hand with satisfaction. As a Big Boss, he disliked it the most when his subordinates were too idle; it felt like the Salary he paid was wasted.
However, it was written here that Sakazuki, Garp, and Edward Newgate chose to return to the Sea Star Mainland.
He didn't mind this.
Anyway, given the current Situation, there was indeed no need for the three of them to continue doing anything.
"Hmm, has Eren's Grotesque Worm been sent to the Biochemical Research Institute? I wonder if they can research anything from it." Im's gaze lit up as he looked at the next Report.
What was he most looking forward to?
It was seeing if the Biochemical Research Institute could clone a new Grotesque Worm, and then use it to touch someone on the Sea Star Mainland, causing them to produce new 'Eldians' and the 'Power of the Titans'!
However, to prevent Historia's 'Power of the Titans' from being affected, he specifically instructed the Five Elders to require the Biochemical Research Institute to conduct the experiment without harming the life of that Grotesque Worm.
After all, 'The Rumbling' is indeed a good thing.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Im abruptly realized a serious problem.
"If the Biochemical Research Institute really clones a Grotesque Worm, or finds other Grotesque Worms, and uses them to create 'New Eldians' and a 'New Ymir' on the Sea Star Mainland, then the control over them might not be in my hands or the World Government's hands!"
"King Yama..."
Im narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. He once again felt the obstruction and threat from the other party.
But the problem was that he had no idea what level the other party's strength had reached.
"It seems that even if a Grotesque Worm is successfully cloned, we cannot immediately create the World's 'Power of the Titans', otherwise we will truly be working for others' benefit!"
A moment later, when his thoughts returned, he picked up the last report. This time, the content was very interesting.
It was Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's proposal to him that after the situation in the 'Titan World' stabilizes, Kuzan should be formally promoted from Navy Admiral Candidate to Marine Admiral.
Im chuckled softly.
"Heh heh, indeed. That guy Kuzan should also be promoted to Marine Admiral. After all, he's one of the Three Admirals, but not the Three Marine Admirals, but the Three Sea, Land, and Air Admirals!"
There was nothing more to say, he directly picked up his pen and agreed to this proposal.
On the other side.
Historia, whose face still showed traces of fatigue and a blush, had gotten out of bed. She endured the pain in her lower body and completed her washing up, served by four Eastern Maids from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Because Im had said before that he didn't like her hair tied up, it was now just naturally resting on her shoulders.
"Huh, what is this?"
However, when Historia changed into a white skirt that a Maid had folded and handed to her on a tray, she was surprised to find a pattern of a certain bird with spread wings embroidered on the skirt with gold thread.
"Honorable Heavenly Queen Historia, this is the Heavenly Phoenix, personally named by Lord Imu. It is a symbol of status belonging to the Heavenly Queen. Even the Descendants of the Creator, the Celestial Dragons, must bow and salute upon seeing it." The pretty Eastern Maid respectfully answered her in the Marleyan Language. "Therefore, all your future clothing, crowns, and even weapons must have the Heavenly Phoenix symbol printed on them."
"Heavenly Phoenix... Heavenly Queen..."
Historia looked blankly at the skirt on her body and muttered to herself.
Although she didn't know what kind of bird a Phoenix was, she could easily understand Heavenly Queen. Wasn't that a term from Myths and Legends?
