Chapter 1708: List of Names
?
Probably because everyone knows that Paulette is a sore spot for the Time Master. Hence, nobody is stupid enough to provoke Jean to ask such a paparazzi question
Normalcy might have settled a bit on Earth and old profession that is deemed unnecessary is also making aeback.
But there is still a difference between this era and the era before the Fall.
Before, the reporters could use freedom of the press. Of course, at that time, freedom of the press is merely propaganda by the media.
How could it not when most of the famous news station is actually owned by people of power, holding the media in their hands to change the world perception of what is true and not.
The reporters are merely hired thugs.
Only their weapon is their wit and their mouth.
They use their wit to craft borate lies, create propaganda for people they don''t like and use their mouth to speak those lies.
Is there no honest journalist?
There is.
And they are usually the ones that get killed.
The one reporting war, cartels, crime of the rich and the powerful.
These true reporters that wanted to inform the world of the ills of the world is usually the most tortured, the most killed people.
The one sitting on thefy cushion of the studios, reporting feel good stories in the morning, propaganda in the afternoon, lies in the evening, and more lies in the night is merely hired thugs that uses words to confuse the public, protect the rich and the powerful, and maintain the order of the rich and powerful.
Still...these people could rely on the words freedom of the press. Their right to inquire question.
Well, that might fly before the Fall.
After the Fall, say what you will about the rights of people, it is determine by those godlike figures.
Do you dare say to Death Monarch, the freedom of the press in front of his face when you are asking him question that he doesn''t like?
Death Monarch does not seem to be the type that would appreciate being told what to do.
In all probability, that reporter would turn into a mist of blood the moment someone ask Death Monarch such question.
Hence no one would touch the question of Jean woman.
Paulette was not bring up even one time.
As for Hikigaya and Oreki, most of them were asked bout the formation of Japan new imperial authority and the alliance with Greece
Some also heard rumours that more unaffiliated countries with that did not ally or absorbed into the world powers intend to create an alliance with Japan.
As for Raymond, most of the question is quite tame.
Not because these reporters like Raymond but because most reporters are more interested in the Republic and the Imperial Japan that has the potential to inflict international incident.
World Government for the most part has been quite stable and they have been lying low for quite a while
Jean, Hikigaya and Oreki answer a few question and quickly enter the pce. Raymond also did the same.
When the pce door is closed, the reporters enthusiasm did not stop as they keep waiting outside the pce
They all know that when these peoplee out of the door, a world-shaking news could be reported.
The world knows that when the discussion is over, another change would happen in the world
-
Inside the Pce
Jean, Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki enter the room. They did not say too much too each other.
Once they entered, they could see that the design is a vast circr chamber. One nce and they could tell that the room is modified with space magic making it evenrger than the space could afford.
The walls rose high around them, adorned with intricate carvings of ancient symbols and runes and other writings that seems ancient and lost to the times
They all nodded and think that this wall must have some kind of warding formation.
It also doubles as a protection formation.
Death Monarch probably does not want a repeat of Arturia matter to happen again this time
There is floating candles around the round, and the light sometimes flickered, casting dancing shadows across the expanse, adding an eerie ambiance to the already solemn atmosphere.
At the heart of the chamber stood a magnificent long rectangle stone table, weathered by the passage of centuries yet exuding an undeniable sense of grandeur.
Its surface was smooth, polished by some kind of magic looking like there were hands that had brushed against it over the ages.
Carved into its edges were intricate patterns
Seated upon a towering throne-like chair at the head of the table was Death Monarch, and even though he no longer wears his hood, the aura emanating from him still shrouded him in
darkness and mystery
Sitting there like a silent authority that seemed to permeate the very air around him.
d in robes as ck as the deepest abyss, he sat in stoic silence, observing the four of them
with an inscrutable gaze.
The room seemed to hold its breath as the four visitors approached the table, their footsteps echoing softly against the ancient stone floor.
"Sit" Death Monarch said as soon as they approached the table
They sit and Azief nodded
He look at the four of them and for a moment there is only quietness in the room
Then he smiles a bit and then said
"I will get straight to the point" The other nodded.
They have expected this. Death Monarch has been wanting to do this for quite some time. It is dyed and dyed until this day. Thinking about it, it is really funny.
Azief is also frustrated.
Each time he wanted to do something, especially rting to this, there is always something
that make him dy it
And he had dyed enough.
He felt that unless he solve this, he could not go into seclusion.
For some reason, the longer he did not go into seclusion, the more he felt that there would be
something wrong.
It is like there is a premonition of something bad.
He did not know how to exin it.
It is just this kind of instinct.
Hence, he would solve the cause and effect between him and the world. It could not be solved
completely but he would embrace some of it and cut some of it and reap some of the cause
and effect
The world owes him. But he owes the living being of the world.
The distinguishing line is there.
What he did, the Multiversal Convergence had upgraded the world energies, making it even
more full of energy, been fuller of magicalws than ever before
In this, the world owes him.
Of course, if he had make the wrong choice, the Multiversal Converge could rip apart Earth
and even this gxy that he is in
But that did not happen instead the world be bigger, be stronger.
But what happens to the living beings in this world?
Not all of them benefited.
And some of them suffers.
It is really hard to know where the cause and effect begins and who owes who
The Ten Realm Project would benefit generations toe. It would separate the gods and the
mortals.
So, that the gods could not oppress the mortals and the mortal could grow on their own pace and ascend to be gods
In the end, the poption problem would be solved, the improvement of the people would also not stop, lessen conflict between the weak and the strong, benefited the world and the people, and solve some of the energy problems of the world.
"this s the roster" Azief then throws a document that appears to of nowhere to the four of
them
The document all floated in front of them and they all began examining the document
Raymond read the name and he nodded.
On the roster list, there are names of peoplen/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There is Lee Sangmin.
Lee Sangmin might not have a Divine Comprehension realm power but his attainment in the
art of formation and array is unparalleled.
The Lotus Pce is his masterpiece.
An array formation that uses the will of the world to protect it.
Even a Divine Comprehension leveler would not dare to attack it.
And even though Azief is now an Essence Creation leveler, if he is not desperate enough, he
would not dare break the array of the Lotus Pce.
There is a reason why even with the Lotus orderck of soldiers and talented people, they still manage to survive eve amidst all kinds of warlords andpeting power
Lee Sangmin is a good choice. Even though he would not have the energy to mobilize the
power, we could help with that. He only needs to create the array" Hikigaya mutters and the
other nodded
"Warp?" Raymond ask.
Warp is from the Leage of Freedom and the rtionship between the World Government and
the League of Freedom is not really that good.
They might cooperated that one time in the moon base project but other than that, the
rtionship between the two world powers is quite icy.
"Warp is needed. His ability to teleport stuff is one of a kind. It goes in a different kind of
warping magic. Added with our energy, it could seamlessly warp even the perceived reality. It would help immensely in our task of changing the geography of the world"
"Who is Fakrul Ali?" Suddenly Oreki ask
"A mathematician. A scientist. Of magic"
