Chapter 649: The Lament in Red Lotus's Heart!
Red Lotus's Body Size rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye as the Small-Small Fruit Ability disappeared.
Seeing this, Stussy immediately picked up the Little Cloud Fox at her feet and instantly vanished from her spot, reappearing at a position not far from Im.
[Bang!]
The next second, the Iron Cage trapping Red Lotus was completely burst open.
Large amounts of Metal Scraps were about to shoot out in all directions.
But just as the surrounding CIPHER POL Members who were Guards, as well as Mikasa, Levi, and others, were preparing to Intercept them.
They were surprised to find that the Fragments only flew about two meters before stopping Mid-air, then automatically flew to a distant spot and piled up.
At this point, everyone realized that this Pale Blue Space seemed to have other functions.
Meanwhile, Im, the one responsible, merely admired the continuously growing Nine-Tailed White Fox.
Sixty meters.
This number might not seem very high, but put another way, it's nearly twenty stories tall.
When a fox this large appears before you.
Most people would inevitably feel Nervousness and Fear.
However, those present showed no panic about this, quietly watching it recover its Original Copy form.
"Owooo~~"
Red Lotus, regaining its Body Freedom, raised its head and couldn't help but let out a comfortable fox cry. Immediately, an Aura like a Gale erupted from its Body.
This caused the Figures of the Holy Land Garrison Soldiers with lower Strength to subtly sway.
They only felt a strong sense of Fear welling up in their hearts.
However, their firm Will and an even greater Fear kept their legs rooted to the ground.
Red Lotus, having vented some of the frustration in its heart, lowered its head.
It looked at the tiny Im with a pair of deep blue Vertical Pupils.
"Hmm?!"
But it was this gaze that caused trouble.
When its Gaze met Im's pair of indifferent Golden Ripple Eyes.
It only felt an unimaginable Fear surge into its Mindscape like a flood.
"This eye... Gaze, what a terrifying Gaze..."
Red Lotus hurriedly lowered its head to avoid Im's Line of Sight, subconsciously moving its trembling Body and retreating two steps.
The Fear in its heart made it feel ashamed and angry, yet it didn't dare to easily raise its head again.
"How is this possible?"
"How can there be such a Strong Human? This is simply more terrifying than the Aura of the Old Dragon, the Dragon Head when it's angry. Is this really a Human?!"
Red Lotus felt like it was going crazy at this moment.
It had only been a few days, and the Otherworlders it encountered were stronger than the last.
Especially the one before it, who merely sat there, and a single Gaze made its entire Body stiffen, unable to muster even a shred of Fighting Intent.
Normally, an Admiral Level Combat Power shouldn't be scared like this by just a Gaze from Im.
But Red Lotus was different.
It was a Super Dangerous Beast, essentially still a beast.
Therefore, its Perception of danger was sharper than that of Humans, which caused the Sense of Danger from Im to be magnified several times.
Of course.
It also had something to do with it not being Strong enough. If it were the Divine Dragon, perhaps it would at most feel apprehension and become Nervous.
"Who I am, you will slowly come to know in the future."
At this moment, Im finally spoke, breaking the atmosphere that had frozen to a standstill.
This also caused the others present to involuntarily let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"But you must understand and accept your new Identity."
"From today onwards, you are no longer a Super Dangerous Beast of the Imperial Arms World."
"At the same time, your Identity as a Divine Beast is retained, but from now on, you will be the Guardian Divine Beast of the fifth floor of this Noah's Ark. Your Treatment Rank will be the same as the 'Giant God Soldier'."
After hearing these words, Red Lotus felt extremely unwilling in its heart.
What Guardian Divine Beast? To put it bluntly, wasn't it just making it a watchdog for the other party? It was a Deity of a World before!
Suddenly.
Just then, Im added, "Of course, you can also refuse."
"Hmm?"
Red Lotus was startled, then heard Im say, "As recognition of your Strength, I allow you to die with your pride. I'll give you one minute for Consideration."
"..."
Red Lotus was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a single word.
The surrounding Esdeath, Historia, Stussy, and others silently watched it make its Choice.
At the same time, they were curious about how Im would follow through if it really refused.
After all, the other party had Admiral Level Combat Power. To them, this was an existence they could only look up to.
Time passed, second by second.
The atmosphere on the scene became oppressive, and Red Lotus felt increasingly heavy Pressure.
It was as if death was truly approaching it with the passage of Time.
Should it choose death?
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Suddenly, a CIPHER POL Member not far away looked at the dial on his wrist and recited expressionlessly.
This caused Red Lotus's expression to change drastically, and its Vertical Pupils also trembled violently.
"Five."
"Four."
"Three..."
"I agree!!!"
Red Lotus suddenly closed its eyes and shouted with a trembling Voice, successfully stopping the change in the numbers.
This also caused that CIPHER POL Member to silently lower his Right Hand.
Im seemed unsurprised, and commanded indifferently, "Then kneel down."
"Ho-Red Lotus, pays... pays respects to Master..."
The Nine-Tailed White Fox was seen slowly bending its forelegs with a dejected Gaze.
Then, with a loud thud, its huge Body knelt prostrate on the Grass Court.
Once upon a time.
The Humans of the Snow Region in the Imperial Arms World also knelt before it like this.
Tremblingly kowtowing, begging for mercy, praying, or worshipping...
Im nodded with satisfaction, then instructed Stussy, "Good. Have Utgard find a place for it and create a Snowfield and Snow Mountain as its beast den."
"Yes!"
Stussy quickly agreed.
At the same time.
Esdeath, however, looked at Red Lotus kneeling there, lost in thought. The level of shock in this scene was indescribable.
The great Divine Beast, the Deity, which had been passed down for thousands of years in her World, recorded and praised in the myths and epics of various countries and ethnic groups.
It actually bowed its head and submitted before Im without even daring to resist.
"You may rise. Next, answer my questions."
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Im's instruction, Red Lotus obediently complied.
"Esdeath gained the Ability to control Ice after drinking your Blood. Can your Blood also grant this Ability to others, or does it require the effect of the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy?"
Red Lotus answered Respectfully.
"Reporting to Master, as far as I know, among the Imperial Arms created by the Founding Emperor of the Empire back then, only my Blood was used without the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy. Instead, a Golden Jar was created that could permanently preserve the Blood's activity."
"But my Blood contains extremely strong Bestial Will and Strength, which can easily cause people to lose their Rationality, and their Bodies may also die tragically from being unable to bear it."
"Moreover, it has extremely high Requirements for the Talent for Ice Power. Over the past thousand years, only this Ms. Esdeath has successfully adapted."
Im raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
So it turned out that Esdeath's Imperial Arm was the most Original Copy Super Dangerous Beast Blood.
No wonder her Ability manifestation was clearly slightly stronger than the Imperial Arms other than the Supreme Imperial Arm.
However, the Supreme Imperial Arm was probably made using an entire Super Dangerous Beast as Materials.
Coupled with the top-tier Philosopher's Stone, Alchemists, and excellent Artisans using the power of the entire nation.
As for 'Demon Armor Transformation', it was purely because Bulat's Innate Ability was too good, and he just happened to encounter Tatsumi, who had maxed out Compatibility.
"Later, you will release twenty liters of Blood. In the future, if needed, once every three months."
Im decided to let the Biochemical Research Institute side try it first. Perhaps they could research something out of it.
"Yes..."
Red Lotus sighed in its heart, but could only agree. Immediately after, it heard Im say, "Next, tell me about the Power of Nature you have mastered. I am very interested."
This was the real reason he had someone capture it!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 650: Willing to Give Up All This?
Power of Nature.
As mentioned before, the difference between Super Dangerous Beasts and Special-Grade Danger Beasts.
The key lies in this power that can absorb Natural Energy for one's own use.
According to Hong Lian's account.
It was born into a tribe of Type-2 Danger Beasts called 'Ice Sea Snow Foxes', which could only spit snowballs and were good at diving into the sea to hunt small fish.
Later, in its ignorance, it discovered that it could inhale the blowing cold wind to fill its belly.
This allowed it to survive while its siblings starved to death every so often.
At the same time, it found that its Ice and Snow Power was getting stronger and stronger, and more and more tails grew behind it.
When it was fully grown, its thinking and wisdom far surpassed those of its own kind. Only then did it begin to research the energy in the cold wind.
But Hong Lian, knowing nothing, ultimately couldn't figure anything out.
It still only knew that 'drinking the wind' could make it stronger and bigger, but its intelligence no longer improved.
It wasn't until more than two hundred years later, when it successfully evolved into a Super Dangerous Beast, that it encountered the Divine Dragon descending from the Sky and finally understood that what it was inhaling was Natural Energy.
According to the Divine Dragon.
The Natural Energy in the air has multiple attributes, and generally, the energy absorbed by each Super Dangerous Beast is singular.
However, there are exceptions.
For example, a Flying Dragon Type Danger Beast named Bulat.
The Natural Energy it absorbed from the air contained multiple attributes, and the proportions were very balanced.
The most interesting thing was that it didn't convert this Natural Energy into Elemental Power but completely fused it with its own Physique.
In short.
This ability to absorb and control Natural Energy is an innate talent they are born with and cannot be taught to other Danger Beasts or Humans.
Such an answer naturally disappointed Im.
But just as he was about to wave his hand to signal the other party could leave.
Seeing his displeased expression, Hong Lian quickly revealed another very important piece of information.
"However, Empress Esdeath might have a chance, because she has my Bloodline Power within her and controls it very well. You can find a Polar Region and try to sense the Natural Energy in the air!"
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Esdeath's eyes, and Im also became interested in Hong Lian's statement.
At the same time, he thought of Tatsumi's performance in the Akame ga Kill Manga.
Is it possible that Tatsumi, through his extremely high compatibility with Demon Armor Transformation, unconsciously allowed his Body to absorb Natural Energy?
This not only greatly increased his Strength but also accelerated the evolution of Demon Armor Transformation.
However, this also caused his Body to fail to keep up with the Imperial Arms' Promotion speed.
Leading to his Flesh and Blood being eroded and assimilated by Demon Armor Transformation in a short period, eventually turning him into a small Bulat.
If Akame hadn't used Murasame to curse the Dragon Soul within him.
He would never have been able to recover his Human Reason.
But Tatsumi's Body was basically completely Dragon Transformation.
"Speaking of which, my Blizzard is unleashed in one go after accumulating Power for several days within my Body. Before, I thought it was the accumulation of Imperial Arms Power within me, but now it seems it might be the unconscious absorption of Natural Energy."
Esdeath suddenly touched her smooth, fair Chin, her Gaze thoughtful as she spoke softly.
Hearing this, Im suddenly had a realization.
That's right.
Esdeath's Blizzard, which almost covered half a Continent, completely exceeded the Upper Limit of other Imperial Arms in terms of scale.
One must know that Bud, who was also an Empire General and an elemental Imperial Arms User.
The Thundercloud he summoned could at most cover the Center Zone of the Imperial Capital.
Such a large Gap clearly cannot be explained by Talent differences alone.
But if she was utilizing Natural Energy that didn't belong to her, it seemed to make sense.
Or.
She used the Natural Energy accumulated within her for several days to leverage the same attribute Elements in the natural world.
This would cause the outside world itself to erupt in a large-Scale Blizzard, which seems even more reasonable.
After all, how could the energy of a Blizzard covering half a Continent possibly be contained within Esdeath's Body?
At least the current her cannot do it, and the past her was even less capable.
However, this also proves that the Potential of Natural Energy is quite high.
If Esdeath can truly succeed in Natural Energy Cultivation in the Future, perhaps she can develop in the Direction of the Ice and Snow Goddess?
"Not bad, you did well."
Im nodded in satisfaction, casually praised Hong Lian, and then instructed Stussy beside him.
"Have Utgard find a place on the Deck below to build a nice Ice Crystal Palace for Hong Lian."
Hong Lian's Body Size was too large, so after thinking about it, he decided not to let it stay here.
After all, he couldn't keep the Ship Deck open all the time. What if it rained later?
In comparison, the Ark Deck had a larger Zone.
And it was open above, perfect for having Kukulkan (Lord of the Sky), who lived in the Golden Belfry, as a companion.
Stussy respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Imu!"
This made Hong Lian happy. That previous kneel had made it completely accept its Fate.
Since that was the case, it naturally hoped for better Treatment.
And thinking about it carefully, joining the World Government didn't seem like a bad thing either.
In the Future, it could also travel with this Large Ship and see the Scenery of Other Worlds.
"Hong Lian, have Stussy help you shrink your Body Size, then follow her to find Utgard."
Im thought for a moment and found nothing more to say, so he directly dismissed them.
"Yes, Master!"
After speaking, Hong Lian raised its right Claw and slowly extended it towards Stussy.
The latter also straightforwardly placed her fair Palm on it.
[Buzz----]
With the activation of the Mini-Mini Fruit Ability.
A faint Golden Light appeared on the body of this giant Nine-Tailed White Fox, and then it quickly shrunk to a Body Size of about three meters high.
"I think you should like this Viewpoint, right?"
Stussy looked up at Hong Lian, who was much smaller but still large enough to be called a Great Fox, and smiled slightly.
"Thank you!"
Hong Lian looked at itself and its surroundings and indeed felt very satisfied.
It wasn't too big, but it still maintained the majestic appearance of a Divine Beast.
It then slowly left with Stussy.
"Excuse me, who is Utgard? Is he someone specifically responsible for building Houses?"
"Of course not."
"Lord Utgard is a member of the Giant God Soldier, with the Epithet 'Frost Giant'. Because he ate the Logia System Snow-Snow Fruit, he also possesses the Ice and Snow Power..."
As the sound of their Conversation and their figures grew distant.
Im was thinking about a question.
Should Hong Lian's Blood be given to Utgard to try first?
If there were no problems, he would send a can to Kuzan three months later.
After all, both were Ice/Snow Type Logia Users.
The biggest difference was that one was from the Giant Tribe, and the other was a three-meter-tall Human.
However, the main reason was to reduce the Risk for Kuzan, who had greater Potential than Utgard.
As for whether this was fair to Utgard, one could only say there was no such thing as fairness in this World.
Moreover, it wasn't just a Risk for him; the Benefits of success were also considerable.
"Lord Imu, I hope to return to the Imperial Arms World once and try searching the place where Hong Lian lived before!"
Esdeath suddenly spoke up and requested.
"Okay, I'll give you three months. However, I suggest you first go to the Polar Region of this Titan World, then go to your World, and in the Future, visit the Polar Region of the World."
Im thought for a moment and agreed.
After all, this matter was related to whether Humans could Cultivate Natural Energy.
"Thank you!"
Esdeath thanked him sincerely. Originally, she had worried that Im would not agree.
After all, she hadn't been here for long, and theoretically, it was entirely possible that she would leave and never return.
Unless Im dispatched an Admiral Level Combat Power to accompany her, but it seemed she had clearly underestimated Im.
But then again.
Was she really willing to give up all this now?
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 651: The Frost Giant's Small Wish!
Tonight.
Im decided to have Empress Esdeath accompany him to sleep, after all, she would be leaving for three months in a few days.
Historia actually understood.
It was just that her mood was still somewhat lost.
Ever since Esdeath arrived, she had been sleeping alone more and more often.
Actually, before, she was quite troubled being with Im because it was extremely tiring; she would be tormented half to death every time.
If it weren't for the 'Power of the Nine Titans' and 'Cell Reinforcement Serum' greatly enhancing her Physique.
It was truly possible for her to be bedridden for three days after sleeping for one night.
But now, Historia felt a sense of urgency, though it wasn't mainly for herself.
Instead, she felt that if she lost Favor, her Clansmen would definitely suffer as well.
Although the Eldians were exhausted from the Forced Labor every day, their living conditions in terms of food and clothing were not bad. The Guards also rarely beat, scold, or make things difficult for them.
But she knew this was all because of her Identity as a Heavenly Empress.
Or rather.
It was because of Lord Imu's Favor towards her.
With a worried look on her face, Historia walked along the path leading to her own Palace.
Behind her, Mikasa and Levi followed step by step, serving as her Guard.
"Mikasa, can you stay and Speaking with me for a while?"
When the three returned to the Palace Hall, Historia spoke, calling out to Mikasa.
Although they were now in a master-servant relationship, their past experiences had forged a bond stronger than sisters.
"Then I'll head back first, Heavenly Empress."
After receiving Historia's permission, Levi quickly left.
He still had to prepare for night training later.
Ever since he learned Moonwalk, he no longer used the 'Omni-Directional Mobility Gear'.
After all, that thing did have significant Restriction.
But he was already used to high-speed combat in the air, so he wanted to practice Moonwalk until he had perfected it.
This way, he could display the Combat Posture he felt most comfortable with, even without the 'Omni-Directional Mobility Gear'.
"Mikasa, I'm a little scared right now..."
Historia sat down on the Sofa in the living room with Mikasa.
Then she poured out her worries completely, and Mikasa became the best listener.
"What should I do..."
The usually strong Historia showed her weak side in front of Mikasa.
The latter pondered for a moment, then softly spoke her Thought.
"I don't understand these Matter very well, but I'm better at seeing Opportunities."
"I think Empress Esdeath leaving for three months is actually an Opportunity for you."
Historia was naturally not foolish. After a moment of stunned silence, she immediately understood the meaning behind Mikasa's words.
Indeed, with Empress Esdeath gone, only she could accompany Lord Imu.
After all, Lord Imu didn't seem like someone who would be desperate enough to eat anything.
"But what about after three months?"
Mikasa shook her head and said, "That's a Matter for the Future. I think we should seize the current Opportunity first."
"Then how should I do it?"
Historia looked at her with Doubt.
"You need to spend more Time by Lord Imu's side, which means staying here. So, try not to go to Paradis Island as much from now on, or only go occasionally."
"This..."
Historia hesitated, but then heard Mikasa continue, "Lord Imu likes to Play Tennis. When he's busy, you Play Tennis with others. When he's not busy, try to Play Tennis with him."
She mainly felt that in terms of Strength, Potential, beauty, figure, and so on, her Heavenly Empress didn't have much Advantage.
So, it would be better to find another way and start with Im's hobbies.
"Alright..."
Historia hesitated for a while but still agreed. After all, she didn't have any better Thought.
"Oh right, you also need to try hard to persuade Ymir. I think she is our biggest Trump Card. As long as she is willing to Support us, then no matter how many Heavenly Empresses there are in the Harem in the Future, there's no need to worry."
Mikasa finished speaking. These were the only two points she had racked her brains to come up with.
They were simple, but they didn't seem to have any problems either.
"Hoo— I know. Then starting tomorrow, you'll Play Tennis with me!"
Historia's Gaze became firm.
She decided that she would become the Heavenly Empress best at playing tennis, and that Lord Imu would look for her first whenever he wanted to Play Tennis...
At the same time.
In a Zone of approximately 100,000 square meters somewhere on the Stern Deck of Noah's Ark.
Overnight, it had become an Ice and Snow World, with a 100-meter-tall Ice Palace rising from the ground.
Then, a 50-meter-tall Ice Wall surrounded the entire area, turning it into Hong Lian's private territory.
And it had Paid 20 liters of Blood.
According to Im's Will, 10 liters of this Blood were sent to the Biochemical Research Institute on the Sea Star Mainland.
The remaining 10 liters were brought back to his Giant Villa by the 'Frost Giant' Utgard, who had been busy all night.
He was very happy and felt that this was a Reward given to him by Lord Imu.
As for the Giant Tribe's Traditional Thought of not relying on External Aids, it had been thrown somewhere unknown the moment he ate the Snow-Snow Fruit.
Actually, Utgard had a small wish in his Heart.
That was, when his Strength became Stronger than Hong Lian, he would ask Lord Imu for Hong Lian to be his Mount.
In his opinion, for him, a dignified 'Frost Giant' among the 'Giant God Soldier', having an Ice Element Big White Fox as a Mount couldn't be more suitable.
At that time, Surtr and the others would definitely be extremely envious!
"Bottoms up!"
At home, Utgard glanced at the scarlet Blood, which in his opinion was only a bit more than a spoon.
He immediately poured it all into his Gaping Maw, then closed his Eyes and waited for the Effect to take hold.
"Hmm?"
However, other than feeling a trace of coolness in his stomach when he drank it, no other Situation occurred in the next ten minutes or so.
This made Utgard raise his Palm in confusion and look at it.
He tried to activate the Snow-Snow Fruit's Ability to turn his Right Hand into Snow Element.
Then, as if sensing something, he gently waved towards his front.
The next moment.
A mass of surging and swirling Wind and Snow appeared out of thin air about ten meters away.
In the blink of an eye, it made a mess of the entire living room and covered it with a layer of pure white Accumulated Snow.
"Oh?"
Utgard made a surprised sound.
This phenomenon was very interesting, because before, the Snow-Snow Fruit released Wind and Snow outwards starting from the Body, but now it could make the Wind and Snow appear from a distance.
Looking at it this way, his Ability had indeed received some Enhancement, but is that all?
"Is the amount of Blood too little?"
Utgard lowered his head and looked at his 22-meter-tall Body Size, falling into deep thought.
10 liters was equivalent to half a bucket of tap water, which was certainly a lot for Human.
But for an adult Giant Tribe like him, it was no different from swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
This little Blood, even if it was Hong Lian's Blood, wanting to cause a big impact on Utgard's Body was indeed not very realistic.
After all, Hong Lian was not a true Divine Beast; there was no Divine Power in its Blood.
However, wanting Hong Lian to provide him with sufficient Blood could only happen if Im issued another Order for him.
Yet, Utgard himself felt it was unlikely...
But he still had to try.
At least he had to report his own Situation.
Looking at it now, although Hong Lian's Blood indeed contained relatively rich Animal Nature.
The Effect on Consciousness felt only similar to Hard Liquor.
It couldn't be said that there was no Feeling, but wanting to get high was not really possible.
Because the premise of mastering Armament Haki was having firm Willpower. The firmer the Willpower, the stronger the inner Heart, and the more powerful the Armament Haki.
However, having strong Willpower only meant not losing Rationality.
Just as Hong Lian said before, to successfully Awaken Ability, the Blood drinker also needed to possess extremely high Talent in adapting to Ice Power. Its Condition could be said to be harsh.
# Chapter 652: The Talent of the Eldians!
Two days later.
Esdeath took a Thousand Year Dragon she favored.
Along with three thousand Holy Land Garrison troops, fifty CIPHER POL Members, and over a hundred Attendants responsible for clothing, food, housing, transportation, and medical care, she boarded a Flying Warship and departed from Noah's Ark.
Following Lord Imu's Suggestion, she made her first stop at the North Pole of the 'Titan World'.
Meanwhile, Lord Imu continued his usual routine, not abandoning his Learning in Medical Arts just because he had obtained the Op-Op Fruit.
He truly didn't consider himself a Doctor.
He studied Medical Arts because, besides being able to better utilize the Op-Op Fruit Ability, it was also to add a Life Assurance for himself.
After all, no one knew what kind of Opponent they would encounter in the Future, or what kind of Injuries and Illnesses they might suffer.
Beyond that, it was also convenient to provide treatment for people he favored.
At the same time.
Lord Imu also spent two hours every day continuously performing various Techniques of the Op-Op Fruit.
Because Devil Fruit Ability, besides requiring creative development, also requires high-intensity Training/Exercise to enhance the Power and Actual Effect of the Techniques.
However, he recently noticed that Historia had become strange.
She no longer frequently took a group of people to Paradis Island to visit those Eldians.
Instead, she had changed into a beautiful sports skirt and was playing Supernatural Tennis with Mikasa.
Yet, after he finished his main business, she would come over with a brilliant Smile and actively invite him to play together.
This made him curious about what this Women was thinking.
And when he used his Observation Haki's Mind Reading Ability to understand Historia's thoughts.
His Heart immediately felt happy; it turned out she had a Sense of Danger.
Lord Imu recalled.
He realized that ever since Esdeath arrived, he had indeed neglected her somewhat.
However, Historia's Attitude of being willing to change for him was worth praising.
So, every time she came to invite him to play, as long as there were no important matters, he would agree.
After all, she was his first woman~
*Bang!*
A yellow ray of Light, as fast as Lightning, flew past the Edge of a Racket wrapped in Crystal.
It heavily smashed onto the blue Ground representing the New World.
Finally, it bounced out of the Court behind Historia.
"Pant—pant—pant————"
Historia panted heavily, helplessly straightening up, and casually wiped the sweat from her pretty face.
"Match over! Lord Imu wins, score 6:0!"
Mikasa, sitting in the referee's seat, calmly raised her hand and shouted.
"I wonder when I will be able to get a point from your hands..."
Historia took the towel handed over by Ubuyashiki Kanata and wiped the sweat from her Neck, remarking to Lord Imu, who looked completely unchanged.
"Heh heh."
Lord Imu smiled, instantly disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of her.
He used his index finger to lift the Beauty's Chin, admiring that pair of blue eyes.
"If you can get a point from my hands, I will lift the Forced Labor for the Eldians, allow you to restore your Country Name, and at the same time, grant you Affiliation with the World Government."
"Ah?!"
Historia, who originally had a somewhat shy expression, was stunned on the spot as soon as she heard this.
Even the nearby Mikasa, Levi, and others showed shocked expressions.
When they reacted, wild joy like a Volcanic Eruption immediately surged out.
But because Lord Imu was present, they could only tightly clench their Fists, suppressing the excitement in their Hearts.
Although the two of them were not Eldians, they had lived together for so long and had many Relatives and Friends.
Not to mention Historia, as the Eldian Queen.
Her whole face turned red, and her Voice trembled from nervousness and joy.
"L-L-Lord Imu, are you... are you willing to give us Freedom?"
The Corner of Lord Imu's Mouth curved up, and he reiterated the Requirement.
"What I said was, if you can get a point from my hands~"
Although that's what he said, whether Historia could get a point still depended on whether he himself was willing, after all, the Power Difference between the two sides was too vast.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much, Lord Imu!"
"I will definitely work hard, I will definitely desperately improve my tennis skills!"
But Historia repeatedly bowed in thanks.
Because what she saw was Lord Imu willing to give them Hope.
This was the most important thing!
"Then it's a Promise. Oh right..."
Suddenly, Lord Imu's Gaze turned towards Levi, who was waiting outside the Court.
"You go to Paradis Island and select ten people who are considered most proficient in the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear."
"These people are to be sent to the Air Force Headquarters to help their Airborne Troops master the method of using the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear."
Yesterday, Zephyr, who concurrently served as the Air Force Headquarters Fleet Admiral, wrote a Report to Kong of the Command Department regarding the Airborne Function of the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
He believed that the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear could not only further ensure the Personal Safety of the Airborne Soldiers.
But also greatly enhance their Maneuver Combat Capability.
He even mentioned.
It would be best to transfer those Legion members from the former Eldian Empire to the Air Force Headquarters and directly supplement them into the Airborne Unit.
The reason was that these people were very skilled at high-speed aerial combat.
They only needed to learn how to Parachuting and how to use Firearms to be the most excellent Airborne Soldiers.
In the Future, they could be completely used to carry out Special Missions targeting the enemy's rear.
Kong 'The Iron Fist' felt it made a lot of sense after reading it.
But the problem was that the Eldians had already been sentenced by the World Government as a Labor Race.
They no longer had their own Country and could only spend their entire lives manufacturing and excavating Iceburst Stone and planting Black Gold Bamboo for the World Government.
Therefore, Kong could only continue to report to Saint Nasujuro.
Saint Nasujuro here was very clear that the Punishment Decision for the Eldians was made by Lord Imu.
Therefore, he did not dare to act on his own initiative at all and directly sent the Report to the Ark.
Lord Imu also felt that what Zephyr said made sense after reading it.
The Eldians indeed have Talent in airborne Combat.
They can even go further.
If they are in a Desperate Situation after parachuting, they can completely manually transform into Pure Titans.
Squeeze out their Remaining Value to cause greater Destruction and Casualties to the enemy.
However, besides needing these Eldians to voluntarily Sacrifice themselves.
It also needs Historia to Pay some Spinal Fluid so that the Biochemical Research Institute can Clone and mass produce it.
There's no other way.
Currently, she is the only Eldian Royalty member left...
But whether or not to do this depends on whether Lord Imu allows it.
Moreover, in his opinion, there is actually an even more convenient Method.
That is, as long as Ymir is willing to cooperate, she can completely Control the Bodies of the Eldians within the Coordinate Space and transform them into Pure Titans.
But this still needs Historia and Ymir to talk.
However, Lord Imu did not directly agree to assign the members of the previous Three Great Regiments to the Air Force Headquarters.
Instead, he was thinking of first sending some Instructors over to see if a batch could be trained.
The Training Subject would mainly be the Soldiers of the Auxiliary Legion, which is composed of Demon Slayer People.
Among them are also some Kabaneri who don't want to farm and raise Pigs their whole lives and have actively applied to join the Military.
Because most of the Airborne Soldiers' Missions will face heavy Encirclement and Suppression by the enemy, their danger can be said to be the highest among all Military branches.
To put it bluntly, it's a Cannon Fodder Unit.
Lord Imu mainly wants to see if it's only the Eldians who can properly use the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear?
Very grateful for the 1500 Qidian Coin Tip from [username]! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
How much Population do you think the World should have?
Recently, following the release of Movie Red, claims have started circulating among One Piece Fans that Uta has nearly eighty trillion fans, and the total Population of the Sea Star World is one hundred trillion or three hundred trillion.
I personally think this is a bit too outrageous. Even if we remove the 'ten thousand' character and say eight billion fans, ten billion Population, or thirty billion Population, it still seems a bit too much.
Because according to the Pirate King setting, no Countries exist on the Red Line, and Civilians are not allowed to live there. So, in an Environment that is mostly Sea Area, how could there be so much Population?
Alabasta, as a Great Nation, only has a total Population of ten million.
After much thought.
I want to ask everyone, what number do you have in mind for the total Population of the World? Also, let me know what most Readers think.
By the way.
I'm doing four updates today! Four updates! Four updates~~~~ It's really four updates, right?
Cough cough.
