Tough Nut? Stock Up on Winter Clothes?
As time went Heavenly One, we heard news every day about people being eliminated.
However, Imu hasn't been watching the games much lately.
Firstly, those who are paying attention have basically confirmed that he will advance to the 'Top 100 Ranking Tournament'; secondly, he actually has quite a few other things to do.
Although he is not responsible for the actual work of the World Government, in order to control such a huge organization, he would need to know a lot of things and read a lot of documents.
In addition, he also needs to learn medicine, practice Swordsmanship, develop Life Return, and think about and explore more applications and mysteries of Divine Power.
The first two are insignificant, but the latter two mainly stemmed from realizing that I had also fallen into a cognitive bias.
He had always thought that he would only gain useful abilities or things after the 'Star Gate' opened up a more advanced world.
For example, if he needs a technique to cultivate his soul, then he needs to encounter a world like 'Shaman King', 'Inuyasha', or 'Shinigami'.
But this is actually a passive way of coping.
He recently had a sudden inspiration: could he continue to explore the potential of 'Life Return' and 'Divine Power'?
At least Muzan Kibutsuji has proven that 'Life Return' is something that can be further developed.
Then, just like developing Devil Fruit ability, with his current strength and the imagination of a transmigrator, he might be able to create something interesting.
So yesterday he even ordered someone to send a Kabaneri in the form of a 'Nue' to come over, intending to start by understanding their so-called 'fear spirit energy'.
"Lord Imu, this is a report from the Five Elders."
While Imu was chatting with Historia on the fifth floor of the Ark, Stussy appeared silently and respectfully handed him a file folder.
Imu took the report, glanced at it, and then, a flicker of something in his eyes, thought to himself, "Have they already decided to announce this to the world after the 'Paramount War'?"
This is actually the transcript of the speeches and the final plan from the previous meeting.
The reason Imu wanted the World Government's top military and political leaders to discuss and vote on whether to release the 'Breathing Technique' was because...
The main reason was that he was also a bit unsure about this matter.
He has always believed in the principles of "one person's wisdom is limited, but the collective wisdom is superior" and "leave professional matters to professionals".
Therefore, we should let these elites below be responsible for thinking about these issues.
But now that the result is in, he doesn't need to care anymore.
He then put the report back into the file folder and handed it back to Stussy. His cool gaze then shifted to Historia, who was sitting beside him.
"In a few months, I will be opening a new Star Gate. Please tell me about the next Otherworld."
Historia nodded obediently, then closed her eyes and focused her mind on the 'path' of the Eldia bloodline, preparing to witness her future memories.
Imu waited patiently to the side, while the Ubuyashiki Sisters behind him watched Historia with curiosity.
The ability to Future Sight was something they were all familiar with, and they all wondered if this Empress Dowager possessed the same ability as their father.
Stussy, however, felt mostly envy and a touch of Envy.
"Babble?"
Historia opened her beautiful green eyes, but they were filled with confusion and bewilderment. She looked at Imu with some trepidation and whispered, "It's strange, I can only see memories from this year onwards."
"Um?"
Imu raised an eyebrow, not immediately understanding the meaning of those words. After a moment, he said coldly, "Take me to see Ymir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Historia's eyes, preparing to let his consciousness follow hers and re-enter the Coordinate Space through the 'path'.
Since his ability to 'Mind Reading' allowed him to know that this woman was not deceiving him, the problem must lie with Ymir is at the center of the 'Titan Power'.
After a brief eye contact, Historia's eyes showed a change of expression, but Imu's consciousness remained completely still.
This made him realize that something was definitely wrong.
"Lord Imu, Ymir, she..."
When Historia opened her eyes again, she stood up in fear and nervousness, then knelt on the ground, her voice trembling with unease.
"She said she wasn't welcome. Even if you go to see her, she won't let me communicate with my future self about memories anymore. She just wants me to tell you that the next world is a tough one, and you should prepare more winter clothes."
[Boom!!]
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire Noah, which was suspended in the Door-Door Space, was shaken violently by some sudden pressure, and the air on each level became distorted and blurred.
This included Kukulkan, the 'Lord of the Sky' atop the Golden Bell Tower; seven 'Giant God Soldier' clad in golden armor; tens of thousands of Holy Land Garrison; and a hundred elite CIPHER POL warriors.
Enel, who was practicing his Physical Arts in the open space outside, along with Stussy, the Ubuyashiki Sisters, Mikasa, the Kuja Guard, and others, were all instantly pressed to the ground. Intense fear washed over them like a tidal wave, along with the excruciating pain throughout their bodies.
Nature.
Historia, standing before Imu, was the same; she even subconsciously used 'crystal' to protect herself.
This moment.
The woman was filled with despair, thinking that she had been completely betrayed by Ymir this time. Were the Eldians about to be wiped out?
But this pressure, which felt like Kamui, came quickly and went just as fast.
Although everyone felt as if they had endured years of suffering, in reality it only lasted a few seconds.
Fortunately, although Imu was angry, he still maintained his rationality, and no one was actually crushed to death by his 'Haki'.
Ymir clearly doesn't want to fully support the World Government, but she hasn't completely refused to cooperate either; she has indeed provided some information about the future.
She was certain that she wouldn't give up her 'simulator' level of Future Sight ability, nor would she punish Historia too severely for it, since this woman could also control the 'Rumbling'.
Besides.
Ymir knew that she was not currently able to freely enter and exit the 'Coordinate Space'; the reason she had been able to enter so easily before was simply because Ymir had allowed her to.
Besides, even if he were to enter the 'Coordinate Space' in the future, so what?
Ymir herself was inherently suicidal.
It has to be said that Imu really has no way to deal with this 'millennial vengeful ghost' right now, and her 'Future Sight' and 'Rumbling' are indeed good things.
He just couldn't understand why all the characters he encountered were so opinionated and individualistic; shouldn't he be the 'protagonist'?
The supporting characters in those fanfiction novels from my past life weren't this difficult to deal with!
But regardless, things have already developed this way, and Imu has no choice but to accept it.
Once the Biochemical Research Institute makes progress on the 'Hallucigenia', perhaps the Sea Star will be able to possess its own unique 'Titan Power'.
"You should go back first. While you're at it, talk to Ymir and try to persuade her not to be so willful. If you can convince her to fully cooperate with us, I can significantly improve the Eldians' treatment or shorten their labor service period."
Imu coldly looked at Historia, who was still kneeling on the ground. The latter trembled and replied with some surprise, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely try my best to persuade Ymir!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Imu waved his hand, and after Historia left, he watched her retreating figure, thinking to himself, "Tough as a rock, does that mean the combat power in the next world will be very strong? And the extra winter clothes, does that mean the environment will be extremely cold?"
