**Chapter 589: The Woman Who Made Im's Heart Flutter!**
The large-scale military conflict between the Alchemy Kingdom and the Division Commander of the First Main Combat Legion's Third Division on the Western Front was just one corner battlefield in this turbulent World.
However, it was also considered the most eye-catching Battlefield.
On the Sea Star Mainland, the Military and Political High Command of the World Government were all deeply interested in Alchemy.
On the Military side, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Kaido, and others were focused on its convenience on the Battlefield.
For example, in constructing Defensive Works, this Alchemy had a unique Advantage.
Also, it seemed capable of producing various Weapons, Firearms, Cannon, and Ammunition on the spot, which would be even more beneficial for the Auxiliary Legion.
As for Combat, so far, they hadn't seen how powerful it was.
Things like Flame, Earth Spikes, and Gale, whether in terms of Power or Range, were clearly not as effective as various types of Cannon.
Perhaps because it was used by people, it was more flexible.
That was all.
In the Political Sphere, whether it was the Chairmen of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, the various Ministers of the Administrative Affairs Department, or even the Five Elders within Mary Geoise, all noticed the Important Value Alchemy could play in various domains.
Especially Director Lu Sien of the Construction Department, whose face was flushed with excitement, vigorously waving his fists to Vent the passion in his Heart.
The various Projects they were responsible for were not only increasing but also growing in Scale, requiring more and more Laborers to manage, and the manufacturing and Mobilization of large amounts of Construction Machinery.
These had already brought immense Pressure to this 'small' Construction Department.
Although the Industrial Division would provide some help, it was still a drop in the bucket for the massive workload.
Not only did the Officials below him have to work overtime every day, but even he, the Division Chief, had started living in the Department. In the past few months, he hadn't even been home to see his wife and children ten times.
His hair was falling out more and more, and the appearance of a 'Mediterranean' (bald spot) was probably not far off.
And this was even with Pica and Teach, these two 'Construction Supermen', under his command.
Now Director Lu Sien saw Hope for liberation from suffering in Alchemy. In his eyes, every Alchemist in the Screen Feed was a 'little Pica', a 'little Teach'.
Most importantly, it seemed that Alchemy could be widely taught.
"Conquest! Conquest! Quickly take down this damned 'Imperial Arms World'!"
"Take it down!"
Director Lu Sien repeatedly slammed his Office Desk, roaring hysterically at the Virtual Screen in Mid-air, his eyes filled with greed for those Alchemists.
These shouts attracted the surprised or curious Gazes of Officials of various ranks outside the Office.
Unfortunately, only Bureau Chief-level Officials and above were qualified to receive and watch this kind of frontline Battlefield Live Broadcast, while they could only see relevant battle situation information in the weekly 'World Economic Journal'.
This was the case throughout the entire World.
Unless the World Government decided to Public Broadcast the Battlefield Screen Feed to the entire World again one day...
"Mellard Olberg voluntarily surrendered?"
In the Titan World, Im sat on the Throne in the Empty Hall, watching the charming beauty on the Virtual Screen in Mid-air with interest. The mole under her eye truly had a finishing touch effect.
He had already obtained the relevant Intelligence from Cipher Pol's Interrogation. With Meilard's intentional cooperation and Muzan Kibutsuji's Glint-Glint Fruit Ability, the information was quite complete.
For example, her Identity, her Ability, the Matters she knew, and the fact that she had previously infiltrated the Star Gate Base and wandered around the 'Canberra Continent' in the Titan World.
Not only that.
This Woman even cheerfully offered the World Government several Suggestions for improving Counter-espionage.
For instance, she believed they relied too much on Aura Perception and could strengthen their Scent Detection and Tracking Methods, though this wouldn't be of much use against her.
After all, since she knew this, she would definitely eliminate her Scent beforehand.
Of course.
There weren't many top-tier Assassins like herself.
It was clear that Meilard, this Woman, was intentionally or unintentionally promoting her own Value and Ability. Cipher Pol personnel weren't against this.
After all, if this Woman was truly accepted by the World Government, she would 100% become one of their Members. Therefore, Meilard not only didn't receive any inhumane treatment but was treated with kindness and courtesy.
Especially her Ability to Control Insect-type Danger Beasts, which truly amazed many people.
"Controlling Insects, and even giving the Bugs to others to use. From this point alone, she's a bit Stronger than the Aburame Clan in the Ninja World."
Im thoughtfully flipped through The Empire's Intelligence provided by Meilard in his hand.
In his opinion.
Meilard's greatest Value was in this aspect; other aspects were merely optional.
"Right, she also has the Ability to Conceal Aura, which is very similar to 'Observation Haki Sealing'. She even tricked that kid Bullet before, quite impressive..."
The more he thought about it, the greater his interest in Meilard became. Thinking carefully, this Woman seemed to fit his criteria for a final piece.
One, Strength is sufficient or Potential is great enough.
Two, Queen Personality, arrogant and brave.
Three, peerless beauty, perfect figure.
Four, noble Identity, extremely high Value (this point is optional, the focus is on the top three).
The current Historia fits the first, second, and fourth points: the Talent of Nine Titans Merged, the Queen of the Eldians, a brave and fearless Personality, daring to take responsibility, able to communicate with Ymir, and even control The Rumbling.
Only in terms of beauty and figure could she not be called top-tier.
"However, this Woman seems to be a fervent Lesbian. She goes after all the cute Women around her, but is very indifferent towards men."
Im's mind at this moment imagined the scene of Meilard flirting with Historia.
"Right, she's also Esdeath's childhood Friend and suitor..."
"Esdeath!"
This Name made Im's Heart flutter.
This was a Woman who almost perfectly matched his preferences. He thought to himself, "It seems I need to tell my subordinates to try their best to Capture her Alive. It would be too much of a pity if she's killed..."
Honestly.
If he hadn't suspected that The Empire was currently being renovated by a Transmigrator, making him wary of what trump cards the opponent might have left before dying, otherwise, he would already have the thought of going directly to the 'Imperial Arms World' and 'bringing' Esdeath back.
Given Esdeath's values, she would likely accept this 'survival of the fittest' approach.
"Speaking of which, since Esdeath is now a Marine Admiral on The Empire's side, the next War should be handled by the Fleet on the Sea. So, which Marine Admiral did we dispatch?"
Im quickly recalled the Content of the various Documents the Five Elders had reported earlier.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "I Hope it's not Garp, otherwise the possibility of an Accident is too high. He could completely hammer people to death."
If it really was Garp, then he would have to consider having someone call him back.
Marine Headquarters doesn't only have one Admiral now!
