A Stalemate Across the Star Gate!

On the Sea Star Homeworld, on the moon, and on the top floor of Noah, Imu naturally saw everything. Although the array set up by the other world was indeed spectacular and magnificent, he was more concerned that he had not yet figured out what kind of world it was.

First of all, it seems to be an era during or after World War II. Although he wasn't a seasoned military enthusiast in his previous life, he could still tell that those heavy howitzers and battleships were definitely not products of World War I.

Of course, he couldn't name the specific model; it just looked familiar.

So.

Since their technological level is suspected to be at the level of 'World War II', they probably also have nuclear weapons, right?

Right or wrong!

The question then arises: what kind of world, based on these foundations, would possess a strong ability to Future Sight?

Imu thought about it for a long time but was still completely confused.

If it's just the former, then there's nothing to say, just start fighting. After all, it's only at the level of 'World War II,' and there's nothing to worry about except for nuclear weapons.

But with the ability to Future Sight, things change. Could the other party have other superpowers as well?

Especially the attack method used to finally take down Plan and Belloc – it definitely wasn't a grenade launcher!

These two are Observation Haki, yet they didn't even have time to react, or were precisely killed before they could react. This is something to think about.

Indeed, mystery and the unknown are the biggest problems!

Now.

The chairpersons of the Otherworld Strategy Committee are holding an emergency meeting.

Army Headquarters Fleet Admiral Raymond, Sakazuki, Byndi Wald, and Shiryu of Bullet general Vice Admiral and above, who had come specifically from the Kabane World and Demon Slayer World, Crocodile also in a meeting.

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders within the Authority Room were also repeatedly watching every video recording obtained at the cost of their lives, especially the final battle formations and barracks stretching for countless miles.

"Their military strength definitely exceeds ten million, and judging from their artillery and warships, they are clearly stronger than those in Demon Slayer World!" Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro said with a frown.

"I never expected things to turn out this way. This preparation definitely didn't happen recently; it must have taken at least two or three years."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury sighed.

An army of tens of millions! Imagine the manpower and resources required! And those trenches, fortresses, and railways—it must have taken a considerable amount of time to build!

Unless the other party also possesses superpowers similar to Pica and Teach, making them highly skilled construction workers.

"This must have used the power of their entire world; their ability to foresee the Future Sight is truly remarkable!" Marcus Saint Mars exclaimed in amazement as he stood to the side.

It's important to understand that the Ubuyashiki Clan can only see the future up to one year in advance, and they seem to need certain people as intermediaries, but the other party clearly doesn't need those things.

Unless someone on the other side has also infiltrated the Sea Star Homeworld?

The thought of this possibility caused Marcus Saint Mars's smile to fade, his eyes turning cold as he murmured, "We might really have met our match this time."

Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent. After a moment, Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro spoke again, since it was his responsibility to deal with matters of war.

"We now face three main problems."

"First, we don't know the other party's background, especially their ability to Future Sight, and whether they have any other unconventional methods."

"Second, should we send someone in?"

"Third, the Star Gate is too small."

After saying that, even the usually tough-minded Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro sighed unconsciously.

Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter nodded in understanding of his feelings and continued in a deep voice.

"The first and second points are actually the same issue: whether or not to send higher-level combat forces, such as Vice Admiral or even Admiral. But nobody knows if the enemy can still kill them. If they can, the losses will be enormous!"

"Then there's the third point: the Star Gate is only two meters wide and three meters high, so the troops can only enter in a slow and steady manner. But the other side already has tens of thousands of heavy howitzers and thousands of large-caliber naval guns aiming at them. Basically, no matter how many middle and lower-ranking soldiers go, they will all die!"

After Marcus Saint Mars finished speaking, he added a sentence, expressing his previous concerns.

"There's another thing we need to be careful about: is it possible that the other side might send someone to attack us on their own initiative?"

"That's unlikely. The Star Gate's size isn't just aimed at us. If the enemy wants to break in, they'll have to squeeze in little by little, and our artillery fire won't be idle either!"

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro shook his head decisively, rejecting his idea.

Immediately, a deathly silence fell over the atmosphere of Authority Room; no one spoke, all lost in thought and hesitation, the situation seemingly at a stalemate.

Imu had also thought of these things, so he was considering something.

The question is whether or not to upgrade this third Star Gate to Medium Star Gate. He happens to have the authority to do so, and this would essentially solve the problem of the Star Gate being too small and the efficiency of large armies passing through being too low.

Keep in mind that Medium Star Gate is 300 meters high and 200 meters wide. Such a large size and space is enough for Giant Unit to push through!

"But the Star Gate has grown larger; the enemy could easily break in. If things go wrong, it could become too powerful to control, unless we close it directly."

Finally, Imu felt that figuring it out on his own was pointless, so he directly passed on the information about expanding a Star Gate to the Five Elders, letting them think about such a troublesome matter.

A few minutes later.

The Five Elders were all filled with shock; they hadn't expected the Star Gate to be able to grow even larger!

"Three hundred meters high and two hundred meters wide, that's more than enough!"

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro excitedly stood up, holding the Shodai Kitetsu, then looked in the direction of the moon with reverence, exclaiming, "Truly worthy of Lord Imu! Such a miracle, who but a true god could accomplish it?"

However, after they calmed down and studied the matter carefully, they also realized the problem that Imu was thinking about.

The Star Gate has gotten bigger, which makes things more convenient for the other side!

"We still need to figure out the upper limit of the opponent's attack methods, that is, whether they have the ability to harm Admiral fighter," Topman Saint Topman Warcury said.

"Indeed, the bombardment from tens of thousands of heavy howitzers and thousands of large-caliber naval guns is something Vice Admiral's forces definitely cannot withstand. Sending them over would only waste a few more boxes of ammunition from the enemy."

"But if we send our Admiral, the problem is, who would we send to risk a greater than 50% chance of dying?"

Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, as the top boss of CIPHER POL, places even greater emphasis on intelligence, and he pointed out the most difficult point.

"If this Admiral wants to find out the enemy's attack limit, he must first withstand the bombardment of thousands of heavy cannons, fight his way to the enemy camp and slaughter them, and see if the enemy has any means to hurt or even kill him!"

"If he doesn't have any, that's fine; we'll just send out all our Admiral troops. But if he does, then he probably won't be coming back!"
