The Third Star Gate Decision and Magellan's New Lunchbox!
"Deified World Government and the Sea Star?"
In Noah on the moon, Imu frowned as he looked at the report sent by the Five Elders.
The proposal above not only aims to promote the Sea Star as the 'Divine Realm,' but also to give Sakazuki, Kaido, and others their own 'Divine Name.'
For example, 'Sakazuki, the God of Lava', and then designate him as his own, that is, the subordinate god of 'Lord Imu, the God of the Celestial Dragon'.
It sounded like a good idea, but Imu felt it was wrong, very wrong!
First.
Having encountered King Enma, he already knew that gods and demons truly existed in this world. Moreover, since the world on the other side of the Star Gate was basically a world of Japanese anime, there must also be other worlds where gods and demons existed.
Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?
And.
After being deified, will the World Government still be the World Government? Won't it just become something like Divine Court or Immortal Court? Then this book would be a case of false advertising!
Besides, even if one wants to claim godhood, it should be a unique identity, not something bestowed upon the entire world.
Even the Celestial Dragons can only be 'descendants'.
"And are the Five Elders mistaken? The Celestial Dragons are clearly 'Descendants of the Creator'."
Compared to the title of 'god', Imu prefers the title of 'Creator', or 'Ancestor of the Celestial Dragons' would also be fine.
There's a saying that goes something like this: 'God' might be the 'Creator,' but the 'Creator' could also be 'human beings.'
The key point is that he doesn't think being a 'human' is any worse than being a 'god'. Even if he were to possess the power of a god in the future, he feels it's still better to be a 'human'.
Therefore, Imu decided to prohibit the Five Elders and the World Government below them from further deifying others.
Regardless of what those Otherworld beings think or say, they themselves must guarantee the purity of the 'World Government'.
In the future, various monsters, races, and even gods, demons, and Buddhas may join, but the World Government will always be the World Government.
They could be the World Government of all heavens, the World Government of all realms, the World Government of the universe—definitely not something like the Divine Court of the Divine Realm!
Besides, World Government, what a great name! Imu truly thinks it's much more Haki than names like Divine Court!
"However, it is indeed time to start spreading some legends about me being 'asleep' or 'in seclusion' for hundreds of years. I can't stay hidden in the background forever."
"Especially when the World Government encounters a situation in the future where those Admiral' combat power is unable to cope."
Imu felt that his World of the Living had to be impactful enough, ideally occurring in a moment of crisis when everyone was helpless and utterly desperate.
Instead of simply distributing a newspaper and giving everyone a piece of gossip to enjoy during peacetime, this was intended to be more than just a lighthearted, unappealing juicy tidbit.
That's meaningless!
"Eh, Muzan Kibutsuji?!"
Imu looked at the contents of the second report with surprise. After reading it, he also felt very sorry that the prescription could not be used for everyone.
If possible, that would be of immense value to the entire World Government.
Imagine if mid-to-high-level combatants each possessed Muzan's near-limitless self-healing and regeneration abilities—how terrifying would that be?
There's also Muzan's cellular-level control, near-limitless stamina, and immortality with an unknown lifespan limit.
The current Muzan Kibutsuji is definitely a treasure trove for the Biochemical Research Institute.
With the continuous improvement and advancement of biotechnology, it is believed that one day, powerful 'Gene Enhancement Potion' will be created using his Lineage Factor.
Imu firmly believed this; even if the Sea Star's technology wasn't advanced enough, didn't they still have the 'multiverse' accessible through Star Gate?
"So it was the right decision to keep Muzan in Impel Down. We can't let such a valuable treasure go out to fight, and we don't need another one of his fighting forces."
Imu thought to himself with a sense of pleasure.
Just then, outside Noah, Dr. Vegapunk and Dr. Tsukimi, who had arrived by Flying Warship, were busy in the underground city with a group of researchers from the Academy of Sciences.
But each of them had an excited expression on their face, chatting with the little robots from time to time, trying to get more information out of them.
However, Imu simply observed these matters quietly without interfering too much.
He believed that entrusting professional matters to professionals was what a qualified ruler should do, and that he only needed to make good use of the results they produced.
"Speaking of which, I still have a third Star Gate that I can open, but..."
In the spacious bedroom, which was over 100 square meters, Imu sat at a table piled high with medical books, pondering Star Map that only he could see.
"The Demon Slayer World has just been conquered, and the World Government is still digesting it. Opening another world at this time would be too hasty, as was the case with the Kabane World before."
Taking over all the resources of a world is no easy task.
Even for World Government of its size, dealing with an entire planet with a complete civilization would require a considerable amount of time, so it must give them time to process it.
Let's take CIPHER POL as an example.
They not only had to ensure normal surveillance of the Sea Star Homeworld, but also had to send people to handle matters in the Kabane World and the Demon Slayer World.
The latter, in particular, requires the dispatch of a large number of personnel from hundreds of civilized nations.
They're practically drained dry.
However, the training of new personnel cannot be rushed; the work of special agents and spies cannot be done shoddyly.
Therefore, it would be the healthier approach to wait until the situation in the Demon Slayer World stabilizes before transferring most of the personnel back to headquarters.
The same principle applies to officials in various departments of the World Government.
"Give them a year. We'll open the third Star Gate next year, and then, based on the situation in this Third World, we'll choose one Star Gate to upgrade to a medium-sized one, accelerating the development of that world!"
Imu made a decision in his heart.
Meanwhile, inside the Warden's office in the fourth underground level of the Impel Down, known as the "Blazing Hell."
Magellan sat on the sofa to the side, watching Muzan Kibutsuji take a beige uniform with a brown peaked cap from the hands of the Columbus Warden.
"Congratulations! You're now the head guard here. Do a good job!"
"Don't worry, I really like it here."
Muzan Kibutsuji smiled humbly, nodded to Magellan, and left the office.
Final.
He was assigned to the prison guards at Impel Down instead of becoming a researcher at the Institute of Biochemical Academy of Sciences.
The latter could leave Impel Down for a mission, but the former is unlikely to leave unless they are formally retired or transferred to another department.
Although the Green Ring around his neck was still there, his shadow had returned, which could be considered a kind of preferential treatment.
As for why the Green Ring was kept...
The main issue is that Muzan's bio-transformation ability is even more powerful than Kurozumi Higurashi's Clone-Clone Fruit, so no one can guarantee that he won't sneak out.
But a 'Pet Ring' is allowed!
"It's truly amazing that an Otherworld has become the chief guard here," Magellan exclaimed.
"Hehe, indeed, I'm also looking forward to the changes in the future, and I hope to see more interesting things."
As he spoke, Warden Columbus took out a black box from under the table, placed it on the table, opened it, and said with a smile.
"By the way, this is a new food container specially made for you by the Academy of Sciences based on your situation. Try it out when it's mealtime later."
"Uh, what's the use of this?"
Magellan stood up and looked curiously at the things inside.
"They call it a 'Vacuum Sealed Packager.' You put the prepared food in, press this switch, and it turns the food into a liquid that doesn't affect the taste. Then you just use the straw here to drink it."
Warden Columbus looked gently at the young man before him, who was most likely to become the next Warden.
"This way, your breath won't contaminate your food and cause you to have diarrhea every day."
"Real!"
Magellan's eyes lit up, and he became excited.
