Doctor Yumi was stunned for a moment. After hearing what Xiao Ran had said, he was stunned again. Perhaps he had caught the hidden meaning in Xiao Ran's words—the threat of war it could bring to this entire world—and felt Xiao Ran's most direct dissatisfaction with the Earth Force. His breathing stalled, and he could only nod blankly.
Seeing Doctor Yumi's dazed expression, Xiao Ran relaxed slightly and said, "But Doctor Yumi, you needn't worry too much. Even the Earth Force is not entirely worthless. I believe that even in different worlds, among governments called the Earth Force, there will still be people who sincerely care about the world's safety and the lives of ordinary people."
"I only hope you can understand, Doctor Yumi. The reason I first took over and rebuilt Orb was because the Earth Force attacked Orb, ultimately causing Lord Asaha's death.

Even if this is not the same world and they merely share the same name, the two worlds have so many similarities that perhaps this Earth Force is not much different from that one. And as the governing power of this Earth, if anything serious happens within the Earth Sphere, the Earth Force will naturally bear the first responsibility."
