Chapter 489: Red Butterflies!
Nearly a month has passed. It is now early April of Marine Calendar 1500.
Im is still staying on Paradis Island in the Titan World. As mentioned before, according to the requirements of the 'Star Luck' function, he must stay in a world for three full years to completely control everything about it.
However, he recently discovered an interesting phenomenon, which is that the 'Yamato' is ineffective in this world.
This means he cannot enter the 'King Enma's Hell' of the Sea Star World from the Titan World, nor can he enter the Underworld Hell of this world.
Im guessed that this should be directly related to him not sending the Souls of this world to 'King Yama'.
If 'King Yama' conquers the Underworld of the Titan World, the function of this 'Yamato' should be activated.
To confirm this.
A few days ago, Im specifically used the Small Stargate he carried with him to travel alone to the Demon Slayer World, and then used the 'Yamato' again in a deserted place.
Indeed, he successfully entered the Underworld Hell of the Demon Slayer World.
Compared to the Sea Star's Hell, that Hell didn't have as much Sulfur Smell. The temperature wasn't stuffy, but rather somewhat cold and damp. However, the biggest characteristic should be the ubiquitous red butterflies and red spider lilies.
According to his careful observation, the essence of the red butterflies should be Spirit Particle creatures containing Fear Emotion.
At that time, Im even tried absorbing one, but found that although this thing had a certain nourishing effect on the Soul, it would also cause one's consciousness to be affected by Fear Emotion.
Which is the so-called mental pollution.
However, he also saw some blue butterflies. Those butterflies didn't have any Fear Emotion, but he saw many familiar black-robed Skeletons using a black insect net to collect these blue butterflies.
Through simple Spirit Communication, Im was informed by the other party that these blue butterflies were the Souls of Normal Humans from the Demon Slayer World after death, and they were taking them back to the recently built Demon Fortress.
As for their use after being taken back, there were too many possibilities...
In short, they were telling him that these blue butterflies were all things 'King Yama' needed, and he'd better not touch them!
This made Im very displeased at the time, but he wasn't an impulsive hothead.
However, it also made him increasingly want to know what level of existence 'King Yama' truly was, because only then could he understand the size of the Gap between them.
Frustratingly, he currently had no channels to access this information.
Finally.
Just as Im was about to leave the Demon Slayer Hell with a heavy Heart, the purple Soul fire in the eyes of the black-robed Skeleton suddenly flared up. Immediately after, 'King Yama''s hoarse voice appeared by his ear.
"Ruler of the Human World, the Souls from the third Otherworld, send them over as soon as possible."
Clearly, the other party had already learned through the Souls of those who died on the Sea Star Homeland about the Matter of the World Government going to war with the Titan World.
This Matter also made Im decide to temporarily stop using the 'Yamato' and reconsider the Situation after the fourth Star Gate opens. In any case, he didn't want to give the Underworld Hell of the 'Titan World' to the other party.
Meanwhile.
Regarding the Titan World, the Three Forces Troops had basically completed their Combat Mission.
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and others were leading their respective subordinates and Troops back to the Sea Star Homeland.
However, because the Star Gate locations had completely changed, they needed to first take various types of Warships to 'Canberra Continent/Australia'. From the 'Medium Star Gate' there, they would enter the 'Korean Peninsula' of the Demon Slayer World. Then, they would transfer to the Warships Kuzan had prepared for them in advance, travel again to the 'Second Special Zone/Former Foot Basin Rooster Island Country', and finally return to the Red Line of the Sea Star Homeland through the 'Small Stargate' located there.
This caused Borsalino to occasionally complain with a twisted mouth along the way.
However, Sakazuki, Bullet, Crocodile, and others greatly praised the World Government's Star Gate operation. They could see the huge benefits of doing this.
Using two Otherworlds as the strategic depth for the Sea Star! What a luxurious and Spirit-filled grand Plan!
However, completely withdrawing this large Troop of several hundred thousand people will still require a relatively long Time. After all, the Star Gate in the Demon Slayer World is currently still 'Small'.
Of course, Admirals and Vice Admirals like Sakazuki were definitely among the first group to return, so they had already returned to the Sea Star Homeland by this time.
As for Charlotte Linlin, she returned by herself more than ten days ago because she felt bored, because she found that the level of desserts in the Titan World wasn't as good as in the Demon Slayer World before.
However, just as they were saying goodbye to each other at the Main Gate of the 'Demon Slayer Star Gate Base' in Area RL1557, preparing to return to their respective Headquarters, a civilian Colonel from the Command Department ran over.
"Reporting to Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, and Admiral Green Dragon!"
"Minister Kong Orders all Admirals and Vice Admirals to immediately assemble in the Command Department Hall!"
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kaido exchanged glances. Behind them, Shiryu, King, Marco, Vista, Onigumo, Doberman, Oven, Daifuku, and others also looked at each other in confusion.
Although they were completely confused, the military Order had arrived, so they could only abandon the idea of returning to their respective Three Forces Headquarters.
Riding in specially made large black Cars, escorted by dozens of Heavy Motorcycle Soldiers in front and on both sides, they headed towards Area RL1550, where the Headquarters of the Whole Army Supreme Military Command was located, with smoke billowing.
Because it was only a Distance of six Zones away, the convoy arrived below the Command Department Office Building in less than two hours.
"Oh, so many people. What could this be for?"
As soon as Borsalino got out of the Car, he put both hands in his Pockets, looking in surprise at the bustling entrance, filled with senior Officers wearing Coats of Justice of various colors, with people coming and going.
Except for some Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels who came out to greet them, the rest were all Vice Admirals from the Three Forces. As for the Admirals, they weren't seen; they were probably already inside.
"We'll know once we go inside. In the Era we are currently in, even if a major Matter happens every day, I wouldn't find it strange."
After Sakazuki finished speaking, he walked past Borsalino's left side.
"Worororo~~"
"I completely agree with that!"
Kaido walked past from the right side, laughing heartily. Seeing this, Borsalino shrugged his Shoulder Insignia indifferently and also strode forward with his long legs to follow.
An hour later, inside the over 500 square meter hall, all the Admirals and most of the Vice Admirals were divided into three Great Zones according to their respective military branches: Sea, Land, and Air.
In the front row sat Marine Admiral Garp, Marine Admiral Kuzan, Army General Sakazuki, Honorary Admiral Edward Newgate, Air Force Admiral Borsalino, Air Force Admiral Kaido, and Honorary Admiral Charlotte Linlin.
Behind them were Army Admiral Candidate Douglas Barrett and Army Admiral Candidate Sir Crocodile.
Yes.
There were only the two of them in this second row.
In the third row behind them were Marco, King, Oven, Onigumo, and others.
On the stage were Minister Kong, Minister Zephyr, Minister Tsuru, as well as Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Marshal Raymond. Minister Kong cleared his throat twice and got straight to the point without any preamble.
"This time, the main reason for summoning everyone here is to announce three important Matters."
"The first Matter: Marshal Raymond will no longer concurrently serve as Fleet Admiral of the Air Force. Minister Zephyr of the Military and Political Department will concurrently serve as Fleet Admiral of the Air Force."
Below the stage, Garp and the others focused their Gaze on the calm-faced Zephyr after hearing this. However, no one raised any objections. After all, Zephyr's Strength and qualifications were unquestionable.
Only Borsalino pouted slightly, feeling a bit depressed.
He could already imagine how he would be nagged and lectured in various ways from now on. Ah, how annoying~
