Biochemical Research Institute's Research on Hallucigenia!
Just as Longinus was preparing to transfer to Flying Warship to travel to Paradis Island, where Noah was located.
Imu was already aware of this as well.
He called the other party over for two reasons: first, his talent was indeed high, in no way inferior to Mihawk's; second, he felt that he should support an elite representative of the Celestial Dragons.
Mihawk is good, but he's far too obsessed with swordsmanship; putting him in charge of the Swordmaster Hall is already the limit.
As for Doflamingo, who was engaged in Dorry battle with 'Thunder Giant' Dorry in the plaza outside, perhaps because the impression from the 'original work' was too deep, he always felt that his potential was far inferior to Mihawk's.
Furthermore, he already had a plan in mind for Doflamingo's future.
In this context, Longinus came into view.
Imu had already seen through his 'Star Fate' ability to observe the boy's behavior in the principal's office.
Having read a large number of 'fantasy works', he knew that there were some treacherous individuals in the world who appeared loyal but were actually extremely ambitious and cunning.
For example, Teach, who's now known as 'Graybeard,' and then there's the man who wants to 'stand in the sky.'
You can't tell the difference between these kinds of people just by looking at them.
Therefore, Imu needs Longinus to come to him and listen to what the other person is really thinking before deciding whether to fully support his development.
If there really is some little creature with ulterior motives, just wipe it out.
However, the journey from the Canberra Continent to Paradis Island...
The journey is equivalent to traveling from Australia to Africa.
It definitely won't arrive in a short time.
So, taking advantage of this time, Imu Teuchi his 'cheat code' Star Map.
While gazing at the Star Sea map before him, he pondered the World Government's future development plans.
Because it's almost the end of the year.
This means he will soon have a second Star Gate that can be opened at any time.
Yes.
The second one.
Imu transmigrated in the year 1497 of the Marine Calendar. According to the pattern of one Small Star Gate per year, this year is the year 1501 of the Marine Calendar, and there have been a total of five Star Gate.
The first Kabane World opened in 1498, while the Teigu World is the fourth Otherworld.
The problem now is that Imu is reluctant to open another Star Gate for the World Government.
He also noticed that the 'nutritional value' of the Teigu World he had conquered was far too rich and immense, making it difficult for the World Government to absorb and digest it in a short period of time.
Actually, apart from the Giant World, the other two of the first three worlds weren't exactly well digested either.
In the Kabane World, due to the small population, only the resources within the island of Hinomoto have been developed. But what is the natural resource value of Hinomoto compared to the entire world?
The World Government's goal is to transform the entire planet Kabane into a pure resource planet!
Therefore, the Five Elders have already planned to transfer some of their workforce from other worlds to accelerate the development of the Kabane World.
The main source, of course, is still the Demon Slayer World.
After all, only this world has billions of people.
The people of the Giant World, however, cannot use Imu's 'Absolute Free Judgment'.
The problem is that the countries in the Demon Slayer World have already invested a large amount of labor in the construction projects of the Canberra Continent, the Eurasian Continent railway network, and various heavy industrial factories.
Not to mention, most of the personnel in the Auxiliary Corps are also supplied by them.
To be honest.
Their endurance has reached its limit.
According to CIPHER POL's covert investigation, discontent with the World Government is growing stronger across the Demon Slayer World.
In fact, in the past two years, there have been several protests and riots involving tens of thousands of people in various places.
Although the situation was eventually brought under control by the deployment of troops by various governments, it demonstrates just how tense the situation was.
Therefore, Clifford Clay, the head of the State Council, previously suggested to the Five Elders that labor force could be mobilized from the Sea Star Homeworld Kingdom to share the pressure of Demon Slayer World.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Imu.
In his view, it would be a sinful waste to make the Sea Star Person, with their physical potential, professional farmers who cultivate land and raise livestock.
Furthermore, if there are Otherworld beings who can serve as low-level labor, then the Sea Star Person shouldn't be made to do this kind of work.
As for the pressure on labor...
With one Otherworld realm every year, the available population will only increase. The Demon Slayer World will only face hardship for the next two or three years at most.
As for the riots during this period.
The worst-case scenario is that governments around the world will collectively revolt and rebel, at which point the military will handle the situation.
Doesn't this mean we have another pool of available labor?
And.
Just as Imu thought, now there's another Teigu World, and this world isn't just about the Empire, the Divine Harmony, and Alkemi.
The populations of those small and medium-sized countries could easily be brought to the Kabane World, or even the Demon Slayer World.
I believe the newly formed Teigu Alliance will be willing to help.
Besides.
The World Government and the Sea Star Homeworld also need to undergo reforms and development.
All of the above combined have reached the limit of World Government can manage.
Even though they are recruiting a large number of mid- to low-level officials from various countries and prestigious schools every day, all departments are still extremely busy, with the lights in their rooms on almost 24 hours a day.
Therefore, Imu felt it was time to give the World Government a break, allowing them some time to digest resources and sort out internal problems.
"Perhaps we could open a Star Gate first, and then have CIPHER POL send someone in to secretly investigate."
"If it's a powerful world, let them lie low and then close the Star Gate. But if it's a weak world, let the Otherworld Strategy Committee and CIPHER POL handle it themselves."
Imu looked thoughtfully at the various reports and documents on his desk and muttered to himself.
In conclusion
He does not want World Government and militaries to engage in further major conflicts in the coming years.
If a situation arises requiring military suppression, and CIPHER POL is unable to handle it, then a small-scale high-level combat team should be dispatched.
[Knock knock knock]
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Imu immediately told Stussy to come in.
"Imu Im, Cassius Longinus, this year's elite graduate of the Celestial Holy Palace Academy, has arrived on the Ark's deck. Where would you like to meet him?"
Imu thought for a moment.
Generally speaking, it should be in the Empty Throne Hall, but since the other party is a new generation of Celestial Dragons that I am considering cultivating, it would be inappropriate to be too aloof.
"Take him to the guest room."
This is the place where he first met Esdeath.
He thought that if Longinus was indeed a good person, he would approach him in the same way he approached Mihawk.
"Yes!"
However, after hearing the instructions, Stussy did not leave immediately, but instead placed a document in his hand on his desk.
"Lord Imu, the Biochemical Research Institute has reported that their research on the Hallucigenia of the Giant World has essentially concluded."
"This includes the giant Hallucigenia found inside Eren Yeager and the four original smaller Hallucigenia found by the Marine Headquarters Fish-Man Unit."
"Based on Dr. Fritz's research findings."
"The original small Hallucigenia also possesses the ability to grant Titans transformations to other humans besides Eldians, but once the Hallucigenia dies, the Lineage Factor of these individuals and their descendants will collapse, turning them into a pool of bloody mud."
"By the same logic, if that giant Hallucigenia is killed, all the Eldians should experience the same result."
