Chapter 539: Changing the Date of the World Conference!
From Nasujiro's complete compromise, Arthur could conclude that Im had seen another version of his power in the Valley of the Gods.
It can destroy an island so easily; even Im couldn't do it so easily.
Most importantly, the fact that the immortal being was instantly killed by Arthur is the root of the fear.
“Nasujuro.” Arthur quickly accepted their compromise and looked calmly at Nasujuro. “As for me, Congressman, everything I’ve done is for the good of the Celestial Dragons. Although I’ve only been in office for a few minutes, I’m sincere.”
As he spoke, Arthur slowly got up and walked outside again.
"If you don't accept the proposal, then I'll have no choice but to kill you all, including your leader!"
After all... for someone like me to live a peaceful life, I really need to do everything I can to restrain myself.
"No matter what method you use, do as I say and summon all the Celestial Dragons!"
"Then tell me, how is this any different from being a slave? To do this kind of lowly labor!" Nasujiro asked, driven by his own will and his inner pride.
“Not to be a slave, but to learn how to be a ruler!” Arthur stood in front of the tavern. “As for announcing my appointment as a councilor to the world, let the World Conference be held in mid-May! Starting this year, it will be held every two years!”
As for how he will attend, Arthur will decide for himself at that time.
The establishment of a world government with a unique and powerful legislator is a momentous event that he must make a grand entrance.
Nasujiro accepted everything on behalf of Im, simply out of fear that Arthur, after being subjected to "Dark Domination" by their king in the Valley of the Gods, would appear as that uncontrollable man wielding a black sword.
Everyone was awestruck, shocked, and terrified by the terrifying power that Arthur displayed.
"So, what are you going to do next? What kind of action will you take?" Nassshurou asked Arthur as he walked out of the tavern.
Arthur stretched outside the door, looked up, and smiled at the sky.
"I think I need to get my sword repaired. The Frost Blade was damaged in the battle with your Knights of God when my domineering aura was exhausted."
As he spoke, Arthur clutched the hilt of the Frostbite sword at his left waist.
The sword that was forged was never as good as that black sword.
This sword has survived a major battle; without the enhancement of a powerful aura, it would be damaged.
The Black Blade Ice Dragon accompanied him throughout his life, without ever showing any signs of wear or damage.
“Domineering aura…exhausted?” Nasujuro’s expression changed in surprise. Could this mean that the man covered in scars wasn’t him?
The Conqueror's Haki and ice-type power that subsequently caused disasters around the world and destroyed God Valley were not his.
Nasujiro was sweating profusely and dared not make any certainty.
All his compromises stemmed from Lord Im.
None of them dared to question the will of that supreme being.
"Get out of here, Nasujuro! One day is a lie; I'll give you ten days to prepare!"
Bringing all the Celestial Dragons here in a single day is undoubtedly too unrealistic.
Even if the Five Elders can teleport here instantly, does that mean all Celestial Dragons possess the ability to teleport using magic arrays?
If that were true, then what would be the point of having navigation tools?
Leave the tavern.
On the main street of the dock, many government officials were on high alert.
Many villagers who had been evacuated to a nearby location also gathered here to watch the spectacle.
"Here, take this money from your tavern." Arthur took some Berries out of his pocket and handed it to the tavern owner.
But the proprietress looked surprised, and cold sweat was visible on her forehead. She quickly declined, "No, no, no! I won't take your money, really! From now on, all your drinks at the store will be free!"
"I never imagined you were... the renowned Ice Swordsman, capable of summoning high-ranking government officials here for a personal meeting."
“I said…” Arthur forcefully pried her hand back and shoved the Bailey in his hand into her palm. “Take it!”
Then, without looking back, he walked towards his group of companions standing outside the cordon not far from the tavern.
Leia pushing the stroller, and Gion standing beside her waiting.
"Lord Arthur, how did the talks go?" Leia asked Arthur, pushing the stroller containing Shanks and Shamrock.
Arthur glanced at Liang Xiong, who was holding a baby bottle and milk in the stroller, and smiled slightly. "It's going even more smoothly than I imagined. From now on, I will be a congressman who can change the world order with a single word."
Upon hearing this, Gion frowned and asked in confusion, "A councilor?"
"A position of power above the Five Elders! Whatever kind of peace you desire, I will help you achieve it." Arthur extended his right index finger, pointing it at Gion's forehead. "It's all my fault for not setting sail to see you sooner, which led to your family's destruction and death."
After a long day of talking with Arthur, Gion completely understood his prejudices, biases, and identity.
Her gaze was fixed on Arthur before her. Even though she still had doubts, perhaps this person really was as he described, her future lover.
Gion replied, "This has nothing to do with you. I have to accept the facts and can't live in the shadows every moment."
“You’ve suddenly become so quiet and reserved, I’m starting to feel a little uneasy.” Arthur sighed and smiled. “By the way, I’m going to Shimotsuki Village to have Kousaburo fix my sword. I’ll be gone for a few days and then come back.”
By the way, where's Cooper? I haven't seen it all day.
"They're venting their frustrations in the forest," Leia said, pointing towards the forest entrance. "What's wrong with you all?"
"The little thing's throwing a tantrum..." Arthur scratched his face, giving an awkward smile. "I'll go deal with it!"
In the main hall of Pangu City—!
The other three members of the Five Elders, who shared vision and hearing, were furious upon learning of the agreement.
"This is not a negotiation at all!"
"They were practically no different from slaves."
"He dares to threaten the government like this just because of a single display of strength? It seems he's confident enough to be a match for us?"
“That guy Nasujiro is completely at his mercy, he hasn’t even uttered a single word of our request!”
As Im's servants and slaves, the Five Elders were utterly powerless to resist her will.
Since she has made the decision so readily, it means that the various Celestial Dragon families who died in the God Valley Incident died in vain.
For thousands of years, immortality has been a joke, and it certainly terrifies her.
After protesting for a while, the three calmed down.
If the Celestial Dragons from various families were to go mining, how much chaos and resentment would arise?
"Lord Im has tacitly agreed... then we should hurry up and prepare to change the time of the World Conference, right? Mid-May?"
"Ah, he said he would ascend the throne in mid-May in front of the kings of all the member states in the world."
"There are still two months left. The senator's nickname is... Ice Dragon? Sigh, let's get started on preparations."
Inside the illusionary room—
Im also learned all of this through Nasujiro's brain.
"You want to change the world at its root?" she said coldly and mockingly. "How interesting. You possess such terrifying and powerful strength... yet you have such childish thoughts. Do you want to start a world war?"
Having ruled for nearly a thousand years, this is the conclusion Im drew from Arthur's words.
That is to know that he wants to make the world she rules different, to reform her ruling system.
Is it so easy to reform the world she has already ruined?
War is ever-present, and what Im sees is the world being swallowed up by the flames of war, and countless people rebelling against his unreasonable demands.
"So be it. Anyway, this world will eventually sink into the sea, and destruction is only a matter of time."
She wanted to observe this spectacle from the shadows.
