# Chapter 798: One Gateway, Two Worlds! (4300 words)
In the Zero Magic World, the Romalia Holy Kingdom.
Located in the southern part of the Halkeginia Continent, its terrain is mostly mountains, hills, and a small amount of plains.
Positioned similarly to Italy in the Modern World, it is a religious nation that worships the 'Progenitor' Brimir.
Its subordinate Ministry of Religion holds the highest authority for the Research and interpretation of the 'Founder's Prophecy', and is also the highest authority for 'System Magic'.
According to the rules of the Ministry of Religion, anyone who does not believe in Brimir is considered a Heretic.
Among them, the Elf Race is the largest Heretic race, because not only do they not believe in Brimir, but they believe in some 'Great Will', and even call Brimir a Demon.
This also led to the Elf Race having a very bad reputation in the Human Nations.
At this moment.
A Magic Flying Ship flying the flag of the Albion Kingdom, escorted by four Magic Warships and fifty Dragon Knights, was slowly flying over the huge canyon named Orcynia.
Mima Amatori and the others, led by him, stood on the Deck of the Airship, observing the environment within the canyon that was constantly sweeping past them.
"This is too high, too deep, and too narrow. The possibility for a regular army to pass through here is too low..."
Hiraga Saito exclaimed, standing by Louise's side.
But Blue, Damian's younger brother, squinted and replied with a chuckle, "Are you an Idiot? Just take a Magic Flying Ship and fly over the canyon. What era is this? Who still marches on foot?"
"This..."
Hiraga Saito was speechless, a clear look of displeasure on his face.
"Blue, be more polite when Speaking. We're on the same side now."
Jack, who was extremely tall and sturdy, patted Blue's Shoulder and reminded him in a deep voice. Immediately after, Janet, who was standing next to Louise, also chimed in.
"Exactly, Blue, you're always like this. I still want to become friends with the cute Louise!"
After speaking, she hugged Louise, causing the latter to quickly push her away, her face full of rejection. But unexpectedly, Chelsea hugged her waist again.
Louise was instantly resigned to her fate, and at the same time, her tsundere attitude flared up. She gave a Shout, "You two, that's enough!"
At the same time, the Magic Wand in her hand began to flash with Electric Flash, which panicked Hiraga Saito: "Louise! Calmness! We're in Mid-air in the canyon right now!"
If she blew up the Airship, people would really die...
"Hmph!"
Louise pouted when she heard this, and the Electric Flash on her Magic Wand gradually dissipated. However, this also successfully made Chelsea release her with a chuckle.
Not far away.
Mima Amatori didn't pay attention to the lively scene there, but instead continued to engage in various topics with Joseph and Julio.
This was to deepen their understanding of this World.
Meanwhile, Mr. Shu was communicating privately with Bithashar in a Room inside the cabin, as the latter's Elf Race Identity was truly unsuitable for appearing in the Romalia Holy Kingdom.
But since he was Mima Amatori's prisoner of war, he couldn't be released either.
"You actually don't believe in Brimir?!"
Bithashar looked in shock at Mr. Shu's face, which held a gentle Smile. Mr. Shu said softly, "I am an Alchemist, so I only believe in Truth. Lord Amatori should also not be a follower of any Religion."
"..."
Bithashar didn't know what to say, because he had never imagined there were Humans who didn't believe in Brimir.
"Excuse me, what do you plan to do after gathering all the Void?"
Mr. Shu was momentarily stunned by this question: "There isn't a specific goal we want to achieve; we just want to see what happens..."
"If that's the case, then I can tell you what will happen."
Bithashar looked directly into Mr. Shu's Gaze with a solemn expression.
Mr. Shu nodded. "Please tell me."
Immediately, Bithashar said solemnly:
"According to the Legend that has been passed down among us for six thousand years, when all the Demon Power, which you Humans call Void Power, is gathered, the Earth of the Elf Race will face destruction!"
"So please, you must persuade that Mr. Amatori to stop and prevent this from happening. I beg you!"
As soon as he finished Speaking, he bowed his head towards Mr. Shu.
"The Earth facing destruction..."
Mr. Shu murmured in surprise, because Julio had said something similar before, mentioning that the Pope wanted to save the World, which is why he needed to gather all the Void.
The two statements had both Conflicts and similarities, both indicating that this World was facing destruction.
If that were the case.
Then they, as Scouts, must figure it out.
Otherwise, once the World Government extensively develops the Resources of this World and then encounters the situation of World destruction, the losses will undoubtedly be unimaginably heavy.
And they will definitely be held accountable, with unthinkable consequences!
"Then do you know the specific method of destruction?"
Bithashar Shake Head. "That wasn't mentioned in the Prophecy."
"Then we can only first hear what the Pope has to say. He should know more information, and then we can contact the Higher-ups of your Elf Race."
Mr. Shu looked at Bithashar calmly. "Since both sides' Prophecies say the World will be destroyed, you should cooperate even more to figure this Matter out."
Bithashar sighed helplessly. "That's impossible. In our Council, there are many elderly Council Members who hate Humans."
"Moreover, the Prophecies of both sides are in Conflict. Our Prophecy says that as long as Humans cannot gather all the Void, the destruction of the Earth can be avoided."
Hearing this, Mr. Shu was instantly Speechless, but he felt pity for the Elf Race in his Heart.
If that was the case, then with Mima Amatori's Personality, he would definitely make trouble for the Elf Race after integrating the Strength of the Human Nations.
Since they were unwilling to cooperate proactively, they could only be asked to cooperate passively.
More than an hour later.
The Magic Flying Ship belonging to the Albion Kingdom, escorted by the Romalia Holy Kingdom Troops, successfully passed through the Orcynia Valley and arrived at their Capital, Bucharest City.
Perhaps it was because King Joseph of the Gallia Kingdom was in the Team, or perhaps because there were two Void Users in the Team.
In any case, they received a very high-level reception.
As soon as they disembarked, they boarded the luxurious Carriage that had been prepared, and then, escorted by the Holy Order Knights on both sides, slowly proceeded towards the Romalia Grand Cathedral in the City center.
Interestingly, the architectural layout of this Grand Cathedral was exactly the same as the Tristain Academy of Magic.
Both consisted of five lower buildings surrounding a taller tower in the center, except that besides the Main Gate and Wall on the front side, the other three sides were replaced by lush Forest.
The overall colors were mainly white and gray, looking clean and tidy while also giving a sense of Solemn grandeur.
"Wow!!!"
But when everyone, led by Julio, stepped through the slowly opening Main Gate on the first floor of the Central High Tower, Louise, Janet, and the others instinctively let out exclamations of surprise.
An incredibly vast space, smooth and bright Marble floors, seven-colored Ruri floor-to-ceiling windows, and incredibly soft, expensive Red Carpet.
But these were far less impressive than the Gold wall covering the entire Line of Sight directly ahead and the six emerald giant pillars surrounding the gold and red Throne.
It was simply so luxurious it was suffocating.
"Welcome everyone to Romalia. This King is the current His Holiness the Pope, Vittorio de Sant'Albano XXIII."
On the Golden Throne, a golden-haired man wearing a purple-gold tall hat, a purple-red Robe, and holding a Golden Scepter slowly stood up, calmly Scan the Lord Amatori and others below the platform.
"His Holiness the Pope!!"
Louise, Damian, Jack, Blue, and others immediately knelt down, and even Hiraga Saito, who was somewhat unwilling, was pulled down by Louise.
Only Mima Amatori, Joseph, Sheffield, and Julio remained standing.
Actually, Joseph and Sheffield should have also knelt down according to etiquette, but the former didn't care about the Pope at all in his Heart, while the latter acted according to the former's Will in everything.
However, Pope Victorio seemed not to care about them and focused his Gaze on Mima Amatori.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, the World Unifier who claims to be from Overseas..." After speaking, he smiled at Louise and the others: "Rise, everyone."
"Thank you, His Holiness the Pope!"
Louise and the others Respectfully Stand Up, showing how deeply rooted the Brimir Religion is in this World.
After all, it is a Religion that has existed for nearly six thousand years.
"You don't seem to oppose my actions?"
But at this moment, Mima Amatori spoke, and these words also caused Louise and the others' expressions to change drastically, because his tone and Attitude were not respectful enough.
This was His Holiness the Pope!
"Yes, because the unification of the Continent is a good thing, beneficial to the World and the Citizens."
"Moreover, your actions were swift enough and did not bring about prolonged warfare, which can be considered the greatest extent of reducing the Casualty Count."
Pope Victorio frankly admitted his supportive view, then his Gaze fell on King Joseph, saying, "This King originally thought it would be you who conquered the Continent."
"Hehehe, then you must be disappointed. Although I am also very shocked by the current changes..."
King Joseph glanced at Mima Amatori's back with a forced smile and said.
He also felt in his Heart that if not for the other party's appearance, he could have smoothly leveled the other Kingdoms and even overthrown the Authority of this Pope in the end, relying on 'Fire Stone' and 'Jörmungandr'.
"What you said about being beneficial to the World should be related to saving the World, which Julio mentioned earlier."
Mima Amatori didn't care about the Gaze behind him, but guided the Topic back to the main point of concern.
"Alas—yes..."
Pope Victorio sighed sadly.
"Our World is indeed facing an almost unsolvable great crisis. Fortunately, the Great Brimir gave us the only Hope through his Prophecy."
Mima Amatori did not interrupt, but listened patiently. The others were also deeply attracted by the Pope's words.
"The so-called crisis is actually the 'Windstone Catastrophe'."
"Although most people outside know that the Wind Stone Ore Vein is mainly concentrated in the Sahara Desert where the Elf Nation is located, Wind Stone actually exists throughout the entire Halkeginia Continent."
"Moreover, it will become more and more abundant as Time passes. When the accumulated Wind Stone in a certain area reaches a certain level, it will generate enormous Wind Magic Power, causing the Earth to Splitting and float into High Altitude."
Pope Victorio looked at everyone with a face full of worry.
"So we in Romalia have been monitoring Various Places on the Continent, until a hundred years ago when we discovered that this situation had already appeared in some places, and it was becoming increasingly frequent."
The Atmosphere inside the golden and magnificent Grand Cathedral became extremely oppressive.
Louise and the others were already somewhat dumbfounded, and even King Joseph was extremely serious. After all, if the World was gone, where could he go to have fun?
Although the idea of the Earth Splitting and then floating into the Sky sounded very interesting...
But if the Base was shattered, what would there be to play with in the future?
"Then how can gathering all the Void Power save the World?" Mima Amatori asked, pondering.
At the same time, he had already decided in his Heart to inform the World Government about this Matter as soon as possible to avoid Dispatching a large number of Personnel to the Halkeginia Continent.
They could first use the Albion Kingdom as a Base Camp.
"The Prophecy of the Great Brimir is this: Four and four cooperating together can save Halkeginia from its crisis."
Pope Victorio emphasized this point again.
"The specific Method of implementation is to gather all the Void in the Holy Land occupied by the Elf Race, and then open the Gateway between this World and Another World there..."
"The World Gate!"
Everyone was stunned, but Hiraga Saito was the first to react.
Because he was summoned from the Modern World, and not long ago he had given up the opportunity to return to his own World.
"His Holiness the Pope, the Another World you are referring to, could it be..."
"That's right, it's your World."
Pope Victorio solemnly admitted. "We need to let the Citizens go to your World to live. This is the only Method to save most people!"
"Uh----"
Hiraga Saito was so shocked his mouth hung open.
Although he was a high school student, he could imagine what a huge Disturbance it would cause in the Real World if a group of Otherworlders suddenly appeared, and what the Attitude of Various Countries would be?
"That's why this King said that unifying the Continent is beneficial to the World, because we need to concentrate all our Strength to reclaim the Holy Land from the Elf Race, and we also need to have sufficiently Strong Military Power to protect ourselves in the future World and open up a Territory to live in!"
Hearing this, Hiraga Saito suddenly Shouted, "His Holiness the Pope, are you going to invade my World?!"
"Saito..."
Louise pulled at his Clothing in a panic, but Hiraga Saito ignored her and looked directly at Pope Victorio in shock, thinking to himself: "Are you Crazy?"
"No, this King hopes we can live in peace, but we must be prepared for anything." Pope Victorio replied calmly.
"Pfft—Hahahaha----"
Suddenly, King Joseph burst into laughter. "Good, excellent, this sounds too interesting. Our World is going to be destroyed, so we'll go to Another World and seize territory. That's indeed a good idea!"
"This King has calculated, as long as we launch a wave of conscription on the Continent, plus the existing Army of Various Countries, the Military Strength should reach 500,000. Adding those Monsters and Demi-human Race, it might reach 600,000 or 700,000!"
"And with 'Jörmungandr' and 'Fire Stone' that this King developed, Void Magic, and the Strength of Lord Amatori and his group, whether it's the Elf Race or the Otherworld, I presume we can take them all down!"
Pope Victorio nodded joyfully, a Smile appearing on his face. "Yes, this is our Hope for self-rescue."
"..."
Mima Amatori was Speechless.
This meant that the Zero Magic World that the World Government was preparing to invade was actually preparing to invade Another World, right?
And once this Pope successfully opened that World Gate, it would be equivalent to the World Government potentially gaining two Worlds, one through two?
Saved a Star Gate!
On the other hand, what Hiraga Saito was thinking was: You are courting death... With the magic level of this World, they probably can't even defeat Japan's Self-Defense Force?
Oh, Louise's Void Magic doesn't count.
After all, this was his girlfriend, how could she use magic of mass destruction on his World?
But how to stop all this now...
