Chapter 476: The World Government's Strategic Depth!
"What?!"
"Lord Imu got married!!!"
In the Room of Authority at the Holy Land Marie Geoise on the Sea Star Mainland, the Five Elders completely disregarded their status, staring at each other with wide, disbelieving eyes and mouths agape.
"And the object is a queen from another world..."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn murmured in disbelief. The others also looked like they couldn't calm down for a while.
It was simply too shocking.
Over the past thousand years, countless generations of Five Elders had come and gone, but none of them had ever encountered a situation where Lord Imu took a consort. Over time, they had subconsciously come to believe that Lord Imu was 'without desire'.
"What kind of magic does this Eldian Queen Historia possess to make the great Lord Imu's mortal heart stir?"
Saint Nasujuro tightly gripped the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand, feeling as if he hadn't woken up and was still dreaming. He had always regarded Im as a pure Swordsman who wouldn't be swayed by women.
So, what now?
They could only adapt.
"It seems we'll have to treat those Eldians better from now on. But why didn't Lord Imu directly order the exemption of their judgment and punishment?"
Saint Marcus Mars stood with his long legs straight, hands in his Pocket, asking in confusion.
"Hmph, that shows Lord Imu wasn't truly captivated by that Woman. The handling of the Eldians is Lord Imu's Will, how could it change overnight?"
Saint Nasujuro lifted his chin, answering him somewhat proudly, while thinking to himself, "Lord Imu is indeed still Lord Imu. Perhaps this time was just a stir after prolonged stillness."
He could only comfort himself this way.
Just then, Saint Topman Warcury, sitting beside Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, looked at the Document in his hand and spoke in his steady, hoarse voice.
"Speaking of which, Stussy's Report states that with Lord Imu's help, Queen Historia has obtained the Strength of all 'Titan Shifters', meaning she has become an 'Ultimate Giant' like Eren Yeager."
"So, can she also control 'The Rumbling'?"
This Report was not an arbitrary action by Stussy, but a necessary notification process. Otherwise, how would the World Government arrange various Treatment?
Saint Topman Warcury's words invigorated the other four. They had deeply experienced the Value of 'The Rumbling'.
"Certainly. So, from now on, we can also use an endless Giant Army to trample hostile Civilizations!"
Saint Nasujuro laughed excitedly.
Immediately after, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter frowned and said, "Then won't the Army's large force become useless?"
Indeed, 'The Rumbling's nearly infinite 'Wall Titans' could be considered the most perfect ground assault Troops. There was no need for Living People to fight; they could just wait to take over the trampled Territory.
"Hehehe, you're overthinking it."
Saint Topman Warcury shook his head, scanning them helplessly, and said, "Do you still remember how tall and wide the 'Wall Titans' are, and how tall and wide a Small Stargate is?"
"Uh----"
The Smile froze on Saint Nasujuro's face. Only then did he remember the Limitations of Small Stargates. Using Medium Star Gates so much these past few days had made him get used to them.
Saint Topman Warcury continued.
"Lord Imu said before that upgrading a Small Stargate to a Medium Star Gate requires several years of preparation from him. So, at least the next Otherworld's Stargate will definitely be a Small Stargate. 'The Rumbling' simply cannot enter!"
"So, we have 'The Rumbling' but can't use it?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's Expression turned unpleasant.
This Feeling of having something good but being unable to use it was truly difficult to bear.
"Not necessarily."
Suddenly, a Radiance of reason and Wisdom shone in Saint Nasujuro's Eyes. As the Supreme Leader of the World Government Military, his Ability was certainly not to be underestimated when he started thinking seriously.
"Before, when 'The Rumbling' advanced towards our Homeland, This Old Man thought about how to minimize the occurrence of such a Situation in future Wars."
"At that time, This Old Man thought of pleading with Lord Imu to move our Stargate location to a large, uninhabited Island. This way, even if a similar Situation arose in the future, the Great Sea surrounding the Island would still trap the opponent's large force."
Because Saint Nasujuro suddenly became serious, the other four also subconsciously treated the topic with solemnity.
"Indeed, the current Star Gate Bases are all located on the Red Line. Once Otherworld Troops break in, both Mary Geoise and the World Government Headquarters will be directly threatened!"
Saint Topman Warcury deeply agreed with Saint Nasujuro's statement.
Previously, because they continuously encountered weak worlds like the Kabaneri World and the Demon Slayer World, which lacked the Ability to push the front line to their Homeland, they overlooked this Hidden Danger.
But future Otherworlds would definitely have Civilizations Stronger than the Titan World, so they had to Plan ahead.
"Then what do you mean?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's Gaze focused on Saint Nasujuro. Saint Nasujuro looked pensive as he gazed at the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand.
"This Old Man is thinking, can we open future Stargates directly inside the 'Titan' World? This way, even if the enemy Troops break in, the Battlefield won't be on our Sea Star Mainland."
"If we encounter an Opponent we temporarily cannot Resist, we will have enough strategic depth. If necessary, we will also have ample Time to ask Lord Imu to close the Medium Star Gate connecting to the 'Titan' World."
Upon hearing this, Saint Topman Warcury, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Saint Marcus Mars, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and the others all felt a sudden realization. The more they pondered it in their Mind, the more they felt this Method was brilliant!
"Excellent Method! We can directly transform the 'Titan' World into a Frontline Base Camp, and from now on, the Three Forces Troops can directly enter Otherworld Stargates from the 'Titan' World!"
"Moreover, the Stargate in the 'Titan' World is a Medium one, which is very beneficial for transporting Military Sources and various Resources from the Sea Star Mainland!"
Saint Nasujuro nodded and continued.
"The key is, if a Situation truly arises in the future where the opponent's Troops break into the 'Titan' World, Queen Historia can completely summon 'The Rumbling' on the spot as the final Defense Line!"
Since he couldn't temporarily use 'The Rumbling' as an Attack Method, he directly converted it into their own Defense Means, thus utilizing 'The Rumbling'.
Indeed.
The other four were all amazed by his genius idea, casting admiring Gazes towards him.
Seeing this.
Saint Nasujuro also admired his own thoughts. This brought him more confidence and more Inspiration. He took a deep breath, and after a few breaths, said excitedly.
"Furthermore, on this basis, we can continue to further develop this Plan. For example, placing the Medium Star Gate of the 'Titan' World inside the 'Demon Slayer World'."
"This way, after the opponent's large force enters the 'Titan' World, we can ask Lord Imu to close the Stargate connecting to their world!"
"Then their retreat will be cut off, and they will be completely trapped in the 'Titan' World, and there will still be a world's worth of strategic depth between them and our Sea Star Mainland!"
"Or, open the Stargates of other conquered worlds in the 'Titan' World as well, forming a Situation where Troops from multiple worlds surround and attack!"
Chapter 477: Five Elders' Joint Plan!
"Hoo—"
Im closed his eyes slightly, lying naked in the warm Fresh Water, letting the misty steam gently brush against his skin.
He was in a grand and magnificent Bathhouse, completely paved with Marble and decorated lavishly.
Besides the pool, estimated to be over three hundred square meters, the large pillars carved with various exquisite relief paintings also supported the tension of the entire space.
Coupled with the Crystal Chandeliers and various oil paintings hanging on the walls, they highlighted the vibrant colors and golden splendor, giving off a strong European palace Style.
This place was originally a bathhouse exclusively for the King.
Of course.
If the King wanted someone to accompany him in the Bubble bath, no one would say anything.
However, Im preferred to bathe alone. He didn't even let the Ubuyashiki four sisters come in to serve him, instead having them wait outside with towels and Clothing.
He really enjoyed the Feeling of thinking while bathing.
As for Hysteria, who had just spent several hours of intimate time with him, she was still sleeping in his Bedroom.
Although the Strength of the 'Ultimate Giant' had somewhat enhanced her Physique and Physical Ability, she still couldn't withstand the vigorous Im.
The Content Im was currently thinking about was a Plan jointly submitted by the Five Elders. He had received it from a somewhat emotionally complex Stussy just as he came out of the Bedroom and was preparing to take a bath here.
With his 'Heart Voice Reading' Ability, he naturally noticed Stussy's unusual state immediately.
To be honest, Stussy was indeed quite beautiful, but in various aspects, she was still a bit short of the Requirements he had set for himself.
What were his Requirements?
They weren't actually complicated.
She had to possess beautiful looks, powerful Strength, extremely high Value, noble Identity, and a Queen-like Personality.
Stussy basically met the first and third points, but she was clearly lacking in other areas.
Especially the latter two.
While her Strength could continue to improve, her noble Identity and Queen-like Personality were clearly impossible to change, especially the Personality aspect.
The reason Im set these strange Rules for himself was to Control his Desire!
His Identity, Status, and Strength were at the very top from the beginning, and he was just a Normal Human who had transmigrated.
If he didn't exercise self-restraint, he could easily become a 'Slave of Desire'.
So, he directly set an extremely high standard for Women, trying his best to avoid the possibility of his Reason being controlled by lust.
And Stussy, in Im's eyes, was a Benchmark and an Alarm Bell.
If he couldn't resist touching her one day, it would mean he was also close to losing his Bottom Line in this regard, which was something he needed to be wary of.
As for whether Stussy herself was willing to be this Benchmark...
Im had never really thought about this question, because he genuinely didn't care much. Wasn't it only natural that everything in the World Government revolved around him?
At least, that's what he thought.
Next was the Plan jointly sent to him by the Five Elders, titled [On How to Utilize Star Gates to Expand Strategic Depth for the World].
The Information Volume on it was a bit complex.
After reading it, he had been soaking in this pool, repeatedly pondering this truly brilliant Plan in his mind.
According to this Plan, it wasn't just a Matter of moving a few Star Gate Positions; it also involved massive supporting Construction Projects and various detailed adjustments.
For example.
The Star Gate's Position is divided into two parts: one at one's own location and one at the opponent's location. Therefore, the Position of the 'Medium Star Gate' within the 'Titan World' and within the 'Demon Slayer World' had to be considered.
According to the Five Elders' idea.
Because the 'Medium Star Gate' is large enough, to maximize Transportation Efficiency, it should be placed in a location close to the Star Gate in the 'Demon Slayer World' and with the best Transportation Environment.
Only this way could the flow of Military Strength and Supplies between the 'Titan World', 'Demon Slayer World', and 'World' be convenient.
After discussion, they proposed placing the 'Medium Star Gate' from the 'Titan World' on the 'Peninsula' where the 'Bongzi Country' is located in the 'Demon Slayer World'.
This would not only be closest to the 'Second Special Zone' where the 'Demon Slayer World' Star Gate is located, but the 'Bongzi Peninsula' is basically in the Center of the entire World map, and it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, making Sea Transport very convenient.
At the same time, it connects to the entire Eurasian Continent. As long as a large number of Railways are laid and the large Iron-Armored Trains from the 'Kabaneri World', which are the 'Iron Fortress', are put on them, the Land Transportation problem can basically be solved.
Then, most of the Trees on the 'Bongzi Peninsula' would be cut down, the uneven Hills leveled, and a large number of Warehouses and Airports built.
That way, Air Transport could also be supported in the future.
Then, a Railway would directly connect to the 'Titan World' on the other side of the 'Medium Star Gate'.
This way, at any Time, any Resources needed for War could be quickly transported from the 'Demon Slayer World' to the 'Titan World'!
And this was just the first stage.
Think about it, to build an 'Iron Fortress' Railway Net covering the entire Eurasian Continent of the 'Demon Slayer World', and a large number of Ports around the 'Bongzi Peninsula' and the 'Second Special Zone/Foot Basin Chicken Island'.
There's also relocating most of the Population on the 'Bongzi Peninsula', leveling most of the Land there, and building Airports, Warehouses, and other Building Facilities.
What Scale of Workload would such a massive and terrifying Project require to start?
Furthermore.
What about the 'Titan World' side!
The Five Elders proposed moving the 'Medium Star Gate' Position from the current 'Blak Peninsula' in the 'Titan World' to the 'Canberra Continent/Australian Continent', designating that place as the World Government's Frontline Main Battlefield for the Otherworld War.
At the same Time, future new Star Gates would also be placed on the 'Canberra Continent' first. After the Conquest is completed, the Position of that Star Gate would be adjusted according to the Situation.
Just like the Star Gate in the 'Kabaneri World', it remains on the Red Line of the Sea Star Mainland.
Because this World no longer poses a threat and has been designated as an 'Agricultural and Livestock Resource Planet' and a 'Manufacturing and Processing Planet' for 'Kabaneri Heart Membrane Material'.
In other words, most areas of the 'Kabaneri World' must be planted with various Crops suitable for the local Environment and Climate, and various livestock must be raised.
So, it definitely needs to be directly connected to the Sea Star Mainland.
It's worth mentioning that the Biochemical Research Institute has applied to the World Government to use 'Clone' Technology to create 'Kabaneri World' after the existing 'Kabaneri World' Materials are used up.
The proposer was Vinsmoke Judge, who had just joined the Academy of Science not long ago.
Continuing with the 'Titan World'.
Since the 'Canberra Continent' is to be used as the Frontline Main Battlefield for the Otherworld War, the Population there must first be relocated, then unnecessary City Buildings leveled, and various Defensive Works and Military Camps built, right?
The same applies to the 'Demon Slayer World'. Since it is planned to be set up as the 'Frontline Command Center' for the Otherworld War and to provide most of the War Resources, many aspects must certainly be prepared.
For example, the Manufacturing Projects for Firearms, Cannon, Tanks, Warships, and even Fighter Aircraft must be built in large numbers, and most of the Laborers and Workers needed by the 'Titan World' also need to be provided from this World.
At the same time, people from the 'Demon Slayer World' will be selected for Operation Training on these Armed Vehicles.
In the future, this lowest-level main force will gradually be handed over to these Otherworlders to be responsible for, letting them drive Tanks and Fighter Aircraft to serve as the Background and 'Cannon Fodder' on the Otherworld Battlefield.
After Im came out of the Bathhouse, letting the Ubuyashiki four sisters wipe away the water and carefully help him put on comfortable robes, he came to a Room specifically used for work and Soul cultivation, which no one was allowed to enter.
The Five Elders' joint Plan was still quietly placed on the desk.
"Alright, since you have confidence, go ahead and do it."
Im picked up his Pen and signed it. He still felt that Professional Matters should be left to Professional people, and he only needed to understand the general idea.
The Content of this chapter is a bit complex, I feel like everyone needs to read it carefully a few times to understand it. I felt it was a bit circuitous even when I was writing it.
(End of this chapter)
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?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 479: The Riot in the 'Korean Nation'!
The World Government's global Elimination Operation against the various political powers, organizations, and Banks in the 'Titan World' is still underway.
Regardless, it is an entire Civilization.
To completely turn most of its regions into 'Non-Law Zone's of 'absolute Freedom', this process will certainly require a significant amount of Time and effort.
Besides the Military, Cipher Pol is also bustling with activity.
They need to constantly provide various Intelligence to the Military, guiding them in striking major Administrative Departments and military organizations.
According to the preliminary assessment of the 'Otherworld Strategy Committee', it will likely take another two to three months' Time.
However, the raging War outside has not affected the major Reforms related to Labor Force and the various construction Projects required for containment on 'Paradis Island'.
As mentioned before.
The World Government intends to transfer over a million Eldians from the Liberio internment zone in Marley to Paradis Island, which requires the Cooperation of the Army and Marines.
On the Marines' side, they have already trained a group of personnel capable of controlling these 'large Iron Ships' using the Warships from the 'Demon Slayer World'.
So Fleet Admiral Sengoku sent these people over to Familiarize themselves with the Warships of the 'Titan World', enabling them to perform relatively simple operations.
Fortunately, Paradis Island is very close to the Continent where Marley is located, so there isn't much Difficulty.
However, this has also led to the Ports on both sides being overcrowded.
Dozens of Warships and transport Ships go back and forth every day, sending batches of Eldians to Paradis Island, where they are then arranged into designated major containment Special Zones by the Army Soldiers and Administrative Staff on Paradis Island.
These Eldians are then directed to cut down Trees, build the collective Dormitories they will live in, or dismantle the houses they previously lived in.
There are also various Building Facilities, such as large and small Paths and Bunkers.
In addition, they also have to assign a portion of the Eldians to the low-temperature caves that produce 'Iceburst Stone'.
They are to excavate the strange 'biological solid high-energy gas' and cut and collect 'Black Gold Bamboo', while also expanding its planting area.
This series of Operations has brought an unprecedented liveliness to the entire Paradis Island.
There are busy figures moving back and forth everywhere; as long as they are Adult and relatively Healthy men and women, they will definitely be assigned a work Mission.
And near them, approximately every twenty meters, there will be a Black-Clad Soldier over 1.8 meters in Height, with a sturdy build, holding a Heavy Assault Rifle, Scanning the surroundings menacingly.
Not only that, but Surveillance Den Den Mushi have already appeared in some high or hidden places.
At the same time.
Queen Historia, who is already an 'Empress', wearing a beautiful white dress embroidered with 'golden phoenixes', first received some Attendants specially assigned to her by the World Government.
These included three thousand Holy Land Garrison soldiers, thirty Elite Guards from CP-7, and ten Eastern Maids from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Then there were Mikasa and Levi from the Ackerman Clan, whom Im assigned to her as personal Guards.
Although Mikasa held considerable hostility towards the World Government due to Eren's death, after talking with Levi a few times, she agreed.
In her view, Eren sacrificed himself for the Eldians, so she should protect Queen Historia for him, as she is the only remaining Eldian Royalty.
Furthermore.
Im also packaged the Azumabito Family of Kiyomi Azumabito and the Tybur Family of Willy Tybur together and sent them to Historia to assist her in handling some complex Matters.
For example, the Management of Orphanages and so on.
And the Property of the Azumabito Family and the Tybur Family also belongs to Historia personally.
However.
This Property needs to be converted into Berry first, so it will take some Time before it can be officially handed over to Historia.
Overall.
Im directly prepared Historia's own small Influence/Power; Future Resources depend on how she strives for them.
And he himself is also busy.
Busy adjusting the Position of several Star Gates according to the Plan from the Five Elders.
There's no other way; this kind of Matter can only be done by himself.
First, he placed the 'Medium Star Gate' on the 'Canberra Continent/Australia' side of the 'Titan World' in the central region, and then returned to the 'RL1558' Zone on the Sea Star Red Line through the 'Medium Star Gate'.
Immediately after, he summoned his unique 'Small Stargate' to enter the 'Demon Slayer World', placing the 'Medium Star Gate' on the other end in the central region of the 'Korean Peninsula'.
This way.
In the Future, anyone passing through the 'Medium Star Gate' in the 'Titan World' will appear on the 'Korean Peninsula' in the 'Demon Slayer World'.
If they want to return to the Sea Star Mainland, they can only travel by Ship or plane to the 'former Jiaopenji Nation' in the 'Demon Slayer World', which is now the 'Second Special Zone' serving as a World Government Branch.
Because there is a 'Small Stargate' connecting the 'Demon Slayer World' and the Sea Star Mainland there.
Actually.
Im should have waited until most of the Matters in the 'Titan World' had reached Stability, so that his main Troops and various personnel could return directly to the Sea Star Mainland from the 'Medium Star Gate' on the 'Blak Peninsula'.
Doing it this way will indeed increase transportation costs and Time costs, causing considerable Trouble.
But Im felt that.
Firstly, he didn't need to wait for the convenience of his subordinates; since he had Time now, he should do the Matter directly.
Secondly.
It would also allow the World Government to Familiarize themselves sooner with the process of having to pass through Star Gates in several Worlds to return to the Sea Star Mainland; this kind of Matter will definitely become more frequent in the Future.
As for Trouble and such, they will just have to adapt~

[Notice Regarding the 'Conscription of Labor Force for the Two-World Project']
[World Government Subordinate Otherworld Strategy Committee:]
[Marine Calendar 1500, February 5th, to ensure the implementation of the No. 0002 'Demon Slayer World's 'Korean Peninsula Star Gate Base' construction Project and the 'Eurasian Continent Iron Fortress Railway Network' construction Project, as well as the No. 0003 'Titan World's 'Canberra Continent Frontline Battlefield Against the Otherworld' construction Project.]
[The World Government will conscript Labor Force from the No. 0002 'Demon Slayer World'. The first batch of conscripts will be two million Healthy Adult males, with priority given to those with Experience, along with the required various construction vehicles, Equipment, and tools. The Assembly point is the 'Korean Peninsula'.]
[Deadline Time: Marine Calendar 1500, May 30th.]
[Governments of all Countries must conscientiously implement this.]
[Hereby Notice.]
[World Government Otherworld Strategy Committee (Official Seal)]
Just now, the major Countries in the 'Demon Slayer World', such as the 'Hairy Bear', 'France', 'UK', 'Hans Tiger', and 'White-Headed Eagle', received this official notification from the World Government Branch located in the 'Second Special Zone'!
This struck them like a bolt from the blue.
Two million people!
And this is only the first batch!
But this time, the Higher-ups of all Countries were very obedient, showing no Attitude or behavior of resistance. Instead, they immediately contacted other large and Strong Countries to discuss the ratio of this Labor Force.
They were simply terrified by the Fate of the 'Titan World'.
The World Government actually intends to Elimination all national political powers in that World and Punishment their entire World by entering a twenty-year period of 'absolute Freedom' in its Society Form!
What a terrifying Judgment, it makes one's scalp tingle just to see it!
However, the most Despair-inducing situation, of course, belongs to the 'Korean Nation', whose entire land has been directly requisitioned by the World Government.
Because they just received two Notices.
Namely.
[Notice Regarding the 'Abolition of the National Name and Political Power of the Great Han Korean Nation']
Yes, they have been declared a National Destruction by the World Government, and with just this light piece of thin Paper, the Fate of all 'Koreans' has been decided.
Not only that.
All their Healthy Adults are immediately assigned to this conscripted Labor Force, awaiting the World Government to assign each person their work Content and Position.
Immediately, the entire 'Korean Nation' rioted.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 480: Kuzan's Admiral Promotion Mission!
The 'Koreans' of 'Great Cold Korea' were nearly driven mad.
Because the notice from the Otherworld Strategy Committee was not only sent to the country's Higher-ups in written form, it was also directly announced to the entire country via Visual Den Den Mushi set up in the central areas of various Cities, in the form of a 'virtual video'.
This left the Officials of 'Great Cold Korea' with no room to suppress the News, and also caused the 'Koreans' to suffer the most intense mental Impact.
Just like that, they suddenly became Slaves of a destroyed nation?
"Why!!!"
A young student wearing a black school uniform, carrying a backpack, and standing in the Capital's Central Plaza, roared furiously at the 'virtual large screen' in Mid-air.
His name was Kim Sung-il, a second-year high school student.
Originally, he held an Attitude of worship and longing towards the appearance of the World Government, single-mindedly thinking of studying hard, mastering enough Knowledge, and then getting into the 'Second Special Zone' to become a Researcher at the 'Academy of Science Demon Slayer World Branch'.
This way, he would have the chance to visit that World called World, or even immigrate there with his Family.
But he never expected that the World Government would directly destroy his own Country, and even turn everyone, including himself, into Slave-like Labor Force.
What else could this be but a Slave of a destroyed nation?
For him, this was no less than a Nuclear Bomb exploding in his mind!
"Exactly, why should our Country be destroyed!"
"What Labor Force conscription? I'm not going!"
"Right, not going!"
"Damn the World Government, get out of our World!"
Kim Sung-il's single Roar instantly ignited the tens of thousands of men and women in the Plaza. They clenched their teeth and waved their fists, continuously cursing the 'National Destruction notice' on the 'Virtual Screen'.
And such a scene was playing out in various Cities across 'Great Cold Korea'.
Not only that.
Countless people took to the Streets, spontaneously surging towards the Administration buildings in each City for so-called street protests and demonstrations, demanding that the Country organize its Army and prepare for full confrontation with the World Government.
Especially in the Capital, the Scale reached an unprecedented level, as if everyone in the entire City had left their homes. All the Main Roads and Streets and Alleys were filled with dense crowds.
At this moment.
Extreme Anger seemed to make them forget the terrifying Strength of the World Government.
However, these Citizens might have forgotten, but the Higher-ups Officials of 'Korea' had vivid memories, after all, it had only been a year since the World Government's Conquest of the Demon Slayer World.
Inside the Korea Higher-ups Meeting Room, over a dozen Military and Political High Command gathered.
"Mr. President, the Ministry of National Defense reports that the Mengma Empire and the Hairy Bear Nation have blockaded our border connecting to the Continent, and furthermore, our coastline has been surrounded by the Fleet of the World Government's 'Second Special Zone'!"
After hearing the young Official's words, the Korean President's already grim Expression turned even paler, and the other High-Ranking Officials and Officers were also furious.
"It's one thing for the World Government to have been prepared, but these damn France and Hairy Bear are kicking us while we're down too!"
"Now we're done for, there's nowhere to run even if we wanted to."
"So what do we do now?"
At this moment, sitting in the second Seat to the President's left, a bald man in an expensive Suit said softly with a hesitant Expression: "What do you think, can we talk with the World Government?"
He was the largest chaebol in 'Great Cold Korea', the Family Head of the Lee family, and the chairman of 'Sambong Group', Lee Woo-deok.
"Uh, talk about what?"
The Korean President asked doubtfully, and the other Military and Political High Command also turned their Gaze towards him.
"Talk about whether we Higher-ups and Nobles can receive Preferential Treatment, for example, allowing us to move to the 'Second Special Zone' to live, perhaps having a chance to become Citizens of the World Government."
Lee Woo-deok said with an Expressionless face.
"Hmm?!"
The President and others were stunned for a moment, but hope immediately arose in their Hearts, and their Gaze also flickered continuously. Since resistance was impossible, perhaps they could strive to join the World Government.
As for the conditions, those were easy to talk about!
Their bargaining chip was the entire 'Great Cold Korea'. Even giving away all the Country's Wealth and Technology was not out of the question.
"Cough cough!"
Finally, the Korean President cleared his Throat and nodded calmly.
"It can be considered."
Immediately, the others also reacted.
"Yes, yes, yes, we can definitely talk!"
"Exactly, the direct Family members of us here add up to less than a hundred people. The World Government will definitely agree for us to cooperate well!"
"That's right, as long as they allow us to relocate to the 'Second Special Zone', we will fully help the World Government stabilize the Country's Situation and make the people below obedient!"
As they spoke, these people quieted down, but the cold light in their Gazes as they looked at each other was chilling.
They were preparing to sell the entire Country and its Citizens, because they could lose their Country, but they didn't want to become Slaves!
Soon.
These people's idea was quickly sent as a Telegram to the World Government Branch in the 'Second Special Zone' in the name of national diplomacy. There was no other way, as they didn't have good things like Transponder Snails.
"Heh heh, they really think highly of themselves, these arrogant and foolish 'Koreans'~~"
Addison disdainfully crumpled the Telegram in his hand, casually threw it into the Trash can not far away, then turned the leather chair he was sitting on to face the wide Floor-to-Ceiling Window, his deep Gaze looking out towards the clear blue Sky in the direction of the 'Korean Peninsula'.
He understood very clearly that the Big Shots on the Sea Star Mainland were planning to swallow the entire 'Great Cold Korea' this time and turn it into much-needed Labor Force.
This kind of Matter was not the first or second time the World Government had done it.
Before long, all the 'Koreans' would have to pass through the 'Medium Star Gate' to enter the 'Titan World', and then start a new life on the other side, the 'Canberra Continent/Australia'.
That's over ten million Population! Even excluding the old, weak, sick, and disabled, it's enough to support the initial Project construction!
"However, before the main Troops arrive, we can have them help suppress the Riots. Otherwise, if the chaos is too great, it will definitely give the Higher-ups a not-so-good impression."
Minister Addison thought of this, turned back again, and then took out a blank Document to write on.
He was preparing to use some ambiguous words to make the Korean Presidents think he had agreed to their request, and then ask them to first complete their own Mission.
If they did it well, the Treatment might be even better~
Over in the 'Titan World'.
Im also saw the 'National Destruction Decision' of the 'Otherworld Strategy Committee' regarding 'Great Cold Korea'. To be honest, this had nothing to do with him; it was entirely decided by the people below.
However, he also understood that this process would definitely trigger a large number of Riots and bloodshed.
After all, no matter the place, there would always be people willing to fight to the death. It was not at all strange for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of resisters to emerge from a Population of over ten million.
"Oh? Are they going to have Aokiji lead the suppression?"
Im immediately understood the Five Elders' idea. This was actively giving Kuzan one last wave of Military Merit, after which he could naturally be promoted to Marine Admiral.
It was just that he felt that with Kuzan's Personality, he might not be able to handle such a cruel Mission.
"Alright then, the Other World Conquest in the Future will definitely become increasingly cruel. It's also a good thing if this guy can realize this sooner." Im sighed inwardly.
Besides, they weren't asking Kuzan to carry out some kind of Massacre.
Suddenly.
Im inexplicably thought of something else: "Speaking of which, it's already the year 1500. Isn't that archaeological expedition team from Ohara coming back soon?"
"I wonder how many locations of 'Poneglyph' they've found for me."
