# Chapter 621: The Extreme North Demon's Attack!
Although Saint Jaygarcia Saturn made the Decision to first probe the depths of the Imperial Arms World, this matter indeed led the World Government to consider the possibility of cooperating with civilized nations from Otherworld, through means other than Military Conquest.
Thinking carefully, at the rate of one Star Gate per year, it seems unlikely that the World Government could engage in World War with every Otherworld. Wouldn't they eventually be dragged down and exhausted?
So, could they first conduct friendly contact and communication, and then decide whether to use Military force based on the actual Situation?
This is what the current Five Elders and the even higher-ranking Im need to consider.
Of course.
If they encounter a world stronger than their own, there's certainly no need to think about cooperation. They would directly close the Star Gate to temporarily cut off contact, and only reopen it to negotiate with the other side when they become stronger.
The next day, in the Imperial Arms World.
Around four in the afternoon, the Diplomatic Team sent by the Imperial Faction, enduring the cold wind and flying snow of the Snow Mountain Range, rode on large Flame Rabbits.
Under the escort of a Main Combat Battalion of five hundred men led by an Army Brigadier General, they successfully arrived at the outer perimeter of the valley where the Star Gate Base was located.
However, the person standing at the Base Gate to welcome them was not the Highest Military Officer here, Army Headquarters Admiral Akainu Sakazuki.
Instead, it was Commissioner Safray Lass, who had specifically rushed over from the Sea Star Mainland. He served as the Director of Foreign Affairs for the Otherworld Strategy Committee.
In addition, beside Commissioner Safray Lass was Senior Director O'Connor, who served as the Branch Minister for the 'Titan World'.
Around them were more than a dozen Cipher Pol-1 personnel wearing Black Suit. Their duty was to provide personal protection for the World Government's government officials.
"Welcome to the World Government's Star Gate Base in the 'Imperial Arms World'. I am Safray Lass."
Commissioner Safray Lass naturally took the lead, greeting the High-Ranking Official from The Empire who walked over. He also introduced himself and O'Connor beside him.
Those High-Ranking Official belonging to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at each other. They hadn't expected the World Government to give their world a Code Name. And this Code Name sounded quite appropriate and vivid.
"Hello, I am Giovanni, the Foreign Affairs Officer of The Empire. We have come this time to conduct an in-depth communication with your side, to see if we can secure precious peace, as well as fair and just cooperation and trade for both our sides!"
Giovanni shook hands with Commissioner Safray Lass while speaking sincerely about the purpose of their visit.
"Hehehe, that's good."
Commissioner Safray Lass smiled noncommittally.
"However, the weather here is harsh and very cold, unsuitable as a location for our talks. Therefore, we hope to invite everyone to the 'Titan World', which is under the Jurisdiction of Senior Director O'Connor."
"Go to another world?!"
Giovanni and the other officials from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs were all stunned on the spot, unsure how to respond to the other party for a moment. Saying yes brought some anticipation, but also nervousness and worry. After all, they knew absolutely nothing about Otherworld. What if they went and couldn't return?
But saying no would make them seem cowardly.
"Alright, since your side has allowed us to come here, we believe you have sufficient sincerity for these talks. We have nothing to worry about. Please!"
Ultimately, Diplomat Giovanni made the Decision. He didn't believe the World Government had any malicious intentions towards them. Otherwise, they would have had the Black-Clad Soldier detain them long ago.
"Excellent."
Commissioner Safray Lass looked at the determination and fearlessness in Giovanni's eyes and revealed an undisguised look of appreciation.
"Please."
"Thank you for having us."
Soon, the hundred or so members of The Empire's Diplomatic Team, led by Commissioner Safray Lass and Senior Director O'Connor, stepped through the Steel Gate of the Star Gate Base.
Next, they will pass through the 'Shrinking Tunnel' to reach the Star Gate Base in the 'Titan World'. Then, they would take prepared Black Cars, cross the Canberra Continent (Australia) to the Air Force Port Base by the Seaside. From there, they would transfer to a Flying Warship and head to the Exchange Port on Paradis Island.
The World Government Branch building was constructed there. This was because the Canberra Continent had been designated a Military Zone, under the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Military Command. The World Government Branch, on the other hand, was a subordinate organization of the Political Affairs Department.
Just as Giovanni and the others were about to enter the 'Biochemical Safety Station', on the verge of experiencing an unforgettable journey, suddenly, the entire Star Gate Base began to rumble and shake violently.
This caused most of the Imperial delegation, who were Ordinary People, to be thrown into Chaos, and also caused chaos throughout the entire valley area centered around the Base.
"What's going on!"
"An Earthquake?"
"No, this kind of Tremor will definitely trigger an Avalanche!"
At the same time, a large amount of Gunfire came from the north. This made many people inside the Base realize that it might not be a simple natural Earthquake.
It was an Attack!
The Troops stationed at the Star Gate Base were the Fifth Division of the First Main Combat Legion. Its Division Commander was Vice Admiral Dalmatian, who had transferred from Marine Headquarters. He was an Ability User skilled in Martial Arts combat and also an Animal System Inu Inu no Mi user in Dalmatian Form.
Just as he ran out of the warm Office, a Messenger using 'Thunder Breathing' darted in front of him like a golden lightning bolt, and despite his violently shaking Body, shouted loudly:
"Reporting, Division Commander!"
"To the north, a Nine-Tailed Fox has appeared, standing sixty to seventy meters tall, with white fur, capable of releasing various Ice and Snow abilities."
"The outer perimeter troops are engaged in combat with it. They request the Base to dispatch Support as soon as possible!"
Dalmatian frowned upon hearing this. But just as he was about to say something, Sakazuki walked over with Shiryu behind him.
"Dalmatian, you stay at the Base to maintain Order and deal with those Avalanches. As for that Great Fox, I'll handle it!"
After giving the Order, Sakazuki didn't wait for his reply and immediately used Element Transformation on his lower body. Amidst the intense Aura and rolling Thick Smoke, he launched himself towards the northern Sky.
Immediately, a Loud Noise occurred with a boom. A violent Air Current mixed with a strong smell of Sulfur surged and spread. The falling Snowflakes around completely dissipated under the Shockwave of the Air Current.
At the same time, it forced Vice Admiral Dalmatian to raise his Arm to block the blowing Gale. The Black Coat behind him flapped loudly in the wind.
Meanwhile, Shiryu followed Sakazuki, full of anticipation, using Moonwalk.
"Admiral Akainu..."
Vice Admiral Dalmatian silently watched Sakazuki's Back View as he rushed straight into the sky, propelled by Magma.
He had to admit, having an Admiral Level Combat Power stationed nearby filled one with a sense of security, no matter the Situation. Although he didn't know what that Great Fox was, since Sakazuki had taken action, there was nothing more to worry about.
Compared to that, the Avalanches coming from the mountain might be the real trouble.
However, Dalmatian didn't expect that the Great Fox to the north was indeed a big trouble. In the records of the Alchemy Kingdom, it was called the 'Ice Demon God'. In the Shenhe Island Nation, it was called the 'Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox'. And in The Empire, it was called the 'Extreme North Demon'.
It was a Divine Beast, an Immortal Spirit, and one of the Super Dangerous Beasts.
It was also the Master of the can of Blood Esdeath drank before!
