Just as Miori Shiba had expected, the Seitenshi accepted her invitation after some thought, since she was merely there as a mascot.

Since Miori Shiba invited her, she naturally agreed and arrived very quickly. The Seitenshi summoned his driver and, with a few bodyguards, went out.

Even when the bodyguards escorted the Seitenshi to Miori Shiba's villa, they showed no intention of going inside. The Seitenshi rang the doorbell of Miori Shiba's house.

Hearing the sound, Miori Shiba awoke from her meditation. She glanced at Li Yu and the others in the living room, then hurriedly went over and opened the door. Seeing the Seitenshi standing outside, Miori Shiba quickly said, "Come in."

After saying that, she reached out and pulled the other person into the house, then closed the door directly. This scene puzzled the Seitenshi, but he was stunned when he entered the villa's hall.

She saw a group of strangers sitting there, and as she stepped into the hall, something that she had only ever seen in novels appeared on the floor.

"True Magic?" The Seitenshi could hardly believe his eyes. This was Magic Array? What a joke! This world actually possessed True Magic? This was illogical!

The Magic Array instantly enveloped her, and then she discovered that the entire villa seemed to be divided into sections, a scene that was clearly unusual!

"Unwoven..." The Seitenshi stared at everything, opening her mouth, but at this moment she didn't know what to say. What was going on? Who were these people? And what were they doing?

"I'm sorry, Your Seitenshi, you will understand." Miori Shiba sighed upon seeing this. She released the Seitenshi and then came to Li Yu's side. This scene made the Seitenshi open his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She looked at everything in a daze, wondering what had happened and why things had turned out this way. The Seitenshi was completely baffled and couldn't understand the situation at all.

"Your Seitenshi, please sit down!" Li Yu spoke up at this moment, gesturing for her to sit down first. The other woman's bewildered expression was quite frustrating.

Hearing Li Yu's words, the Seitenshi hesitated for a moment before silently sitting down on the sofa opposite Li Yu. She looked at the people in front of her and then at Miori Shiba.

"Excuse me... what exactly is going on?" The Seitenshi voiced her question. What on earth was happening? Could anyone answer her?

Looking at the girl in front of him, who exuded a pure aura, Li Yu had to admit that those politicians were quite good at choosing people, selecting a beautiful girl with excellent temperament and personality.

"Hello, I'm Li Yu. I'm sorry to have called you here in this way." Although Li Yu said this, he didn't seem to feel any remorse, which left Miori Shiba speechless.

When you say these things, can't you at least pretend a little? It sounds like you just read them off Miori Shiba felt utterly helpless.

"Who are you people!" The Seitenshi was not stupid. After a moment of silence, he asked, as everything that was happening before his eyes indicated that these matters were not simple.

In response to the Seitenshi's question, Li Yu smiled and said, "We come from another world. Our main purpose in coming here is to save those children that you call cursed."

Upon hearing this, the Seitenshi was completely stunned. Her mind was buzzing. What had she just heard? People from another world? Was this some kind of international joke?

But thinking of the Magic Array she had seen when she entered, Miori Shiba suddenly fell silent. Surely such a thing didn't exist in their world?

If they existed, Gastrea would be no match for them, and might even be endangered species by now. Having confirmed this, she couldn't help but look at Li Yu and ask, "Sir, what brings you here using such methods?"

She didn't blame Miori Shiba, because in her opinion, it was Miori Shiba who was powerless against these people, which was why she had no choice but to call her over. That must be it!

"We are here to save those cursed children. The people of your world are so rude. You are clearly incompetent, yet you insist on venting your incompetence on a group of children." Li Yu said these words calmly to the Seitenshi.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the Seitenshi opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute them at all, because in today's society, venting negative emotions on those children has become an unconscious instinct for everyone.

With the exception of a few, most people fear and hate those children, believing that everything in the world today is caused by them, and that even if she wanted to change things, it would be difficult to achieve.

However, some vested interests have no desire to change anything; they just want to maintain the status quo. Only in this way can they keep the children obedient, because for many people, a small act of charity is enough to make the children grateful.

This is a sure-fire way to make money. Those people have no intention of changing the status quo at all. In fact, they would rather the situation continue to worsen, because only in this way can they stand up like saviors and win over those children with extraordinary powers.

Children who have been deprived of love since childhood will open their hearts to you if you treat them even slightly well. Many people are happy to see this happen, so the Seitenshi could not refute Li Yu's words at all.

"We can cooperate, Your Majesty the Seitenshi." Li Yu looked quietly at the speechless girl before him and immediately stated their purpose.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the Seitenshi frowned, looking at Li Yu with some confusion, and asked, "Cooperation? I wonder which aspect you are referring to?"

She didn't understand what Li Yu wanted to cooperate with her on. After all, she was just a puppet now. Although she had become the nominal head, she knew very well that she had no real power.

"We can make you a true Seitenshi, and from now on, the entire Tokyo will revolve around your ideology." Li Yu slowly uttered words that deeply moved the Seitenshi.

However, she remained relatively calm. After listening to Li Yu's explanation, the Seitenshi frowned and asked:

So what do you want?

She knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and these things often came at a greater price. She couldn't make a decision until she understood everything.

"In return, I hope you can issue an order that decrees all the cursed children in the world, welcoming all oppressed children to the Tokyo Area." Li Yu stated his conditions.

Upon hearing this, the Seitenshi sensed that things weren't so simple. She quietly looked at Li Yu and said, "There must be more to it than that, right? Is it just about gathering those children together?"

If that's the case, then it's far too cheap, because if she really meant what she said, this kind of thing could be done with just a word.

"Of course, once those children arrive here, you can't stop them from going wherever they want in the future. That's all we ask of them." Li Yu nodded. This guy is actually quite clever.

Surprisingly, she didn't agree immediately. If she had, Li Yu would have had to reassess this woman's intelligence.

Upon hearing this, the Seitenshi understood that the true purpose of these people was the children. Recalling Li Yu's initial words, the Seitenshi asked somewhat uncertainly, "You intend to take all the children away?"

She couldn't stop them from leaving or staying. In other words, if Li Yu and the others sent all those children away, she couldn't stop them either. This was equivalent to her agreeing to give all the children who would come here in the future to Li Yu.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. The birth rate in our world is declining every year, which is really worrying our teachers. You see, aren't the people in your world very disgusted with those children? I was thinking, why don't we just take them all back to our place and raise them?" Li Yu's demeanor suddenly changed, from serious to playful.

Seeing Li Yu's transformation, the Seitenshi was somewhat bewildered. What was this? Coming to their world to solve the birth rate problem? And who said they didn't want those children? That's utter nonsense.

"To you, they are cursed children, but to us, those children are all exceptionally talented. Once they learn True Magic or True Qi, they will become an invaluable asset when they grow up." Li Yu looked at the other party with a smile.

Now that he had stated his purpose, how would the Seitenshi choose? Thinking this, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Impossible! No one has the right to decide the future of those children!!" The Seitenshi refused without even thinking. Sell all those children to gain real power for herself? She couldn't do that!

Upon hearing the Seitenshi's words, Li Yu immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said is correct, but..."

Li Yu's tone shifted abruptly, his entire demeanor turning icy as he said, "But some people in your world disgust me. Since you don't know how to cherish those children, then you might as well hand them over to us. You have no choice in this matter."

He simply laid his cards on the table, no more joking around. Calling you over was a gesture of respect to discuss things with you, but not to give you face was just a notification. Anyway, Li Yu wanted those kids, and no one could stop him!

When the Seitenshi heard this, her face turned pale. It was quite clear that she had no choice but to think about it; these people had never considered whether she would agree.

"You..." The Seitenshi was about to say something when Miori Shiba spoke up. She sighed and said, "Seitenshi, I advise you to agree to this matter."

Hearing Miori Shiba's words, the Seitenshi was somewhat puzzled. She looked at Miori Shiba with a blank expression. So Miori Shiba was already in their group? She wasn't forced to bring her here?

"You know nothing about power. If Li Yu and the others wanted to, they could Destruction the entire Tokyo in an instant. The consequences would be unimaginable. And this is just one class of them, and they're all students." Miori Shiba all she needed to say.

If you don't agree, Li Yu and his group can turn the whole world upside down. Besides, they are just a group of students. When their army arrives one day, the Seitenshi won't be sitting here chatting with Li Yu anymore.

They might even be locked in cages and taken to court. The people of their world had no choice from the start. When the other side discovered the passage to this world, their fate was already sealed.

If that's the case, then we might as well cooperate and try to gain what's in our favor. A world that can travel to other worlds—even a little bit of what they get from it would be enough to feed them, right?

As for the crisis in this world, Gastrea and such, are they even a problem? They wouldn't even consider them a problem in their eyes, especially after she meditated and developed a bit of her own magic power, she had a clearer understanding of the strength of Li Yu and the others.

Last night, in addition to explaining meditation to her, Ye Zi also gave her a lesson on what strength levels are and what kind of existence they are.

In that other world, people start learning physical exercise techniques from elementary school, then study academic subjects, and then begin to intensify their physical training in junior high school.

Finally, in high school, the basic knowledge is expanded, and then when they reach a certain age, they awaken their talents. Finally, they are divided into classes, and from the moment their talents are awakened, everyone's strength will leap forward and skyrocket.

After graduating from high school and going to university, you'll be considered qualified at the third tier. Those with better talent can choose a good school and continue their studies to improve their strength. By the time they graduate from university, their strength will have reached the fourth Fifth Tier, or Sixth Tier.

As for Li Yu and her group, in Ye Zi's words, their class is a special elite class. They are currently freshmen, but they have already explored some worlds. Their world is a second world.

Having learned about these circumstances, Miori Shiba had a clear understanding of the strength of both sides. This was a complete defeat, and resistance was futile, so it was best to surrender obediently.

Otherwise, when their army arrives later, they might have to face Universe, or perhaps they won't even need an army at all? Li Yu and his group could handle this world on their own.

After hearing Miori Shiba's words, the Seitenshi opened his mouth in surprise. These people were just a group of students...

She was also bewildered when she heard the news.

A group of students could Destruction a city, so she had no choice at all? From the moment Miori Shiba summoned her here, her fate was already sealed.

"If His Majesty the Seitenshi has no further questions, then I will have my classmates begin their work. It seems that the Tendō Family is the real power in this city right now, isn't that right?" Li Yu said, glancing at Asagi Aiba.

Seeing this, Asagi Aiba understood immediately, while the Seitenshi and Miori Shiba tensed up upon hearing this. What were these people planning to do next? Just as the Seitenshi was about to say something, Asagi Aiba spoke first.

"That old bastard is simply inhuman. To protect his position, he would even kill his own family. Besides, there's widespread corruption among his subordinates." Asagi Aiba's words immediately stunned Miori Shiba and the Seitenshi.

But Asagi Aiba didn't stop talking; she continued to tell them some things that sent chills down their spines.

"Tsk tsk, that's impressive. You even cut corners on the construction of the Monolith you built on the outskirts of the city. Aren't those supposed to be barriers against Gastrea? The guy in charge of building Monolith No. 32 must have embezzled quite a bit." Asagi Aiba directly revealed a lot of the hidden information she had uncovered.

The string of incriminating evidence plunged the Seitenshi into despair, his eyes filled with disbelief. How dare they? How dare they take action in such a matter?

"Collect more, then publish it. When the time comes, the students will go and make those guys commit suicide," then Your Majesty the Seitenshi will step forward and take over everything, and put the entire city under martial law."Li Yu immediately began to formulate a plan, arranging everything for those guys clearly.

The Seitenshi, however, was still completely bewildered. Listening to Li Yu's plan, she was at a loss. Was this really alright? Wouldn't it lead to rivers of blood?

"I think Your Seitenshi, you don't want the Monolith to collapse and allow Gastrea to enter the city, right? What are you hesitating for now?" After explaining his plan, Li Yu looked at the bewildered Seitenshi.

At this moment, the Seitenshi fell silent. She understood that regardless of whether she agreed with Li Yu's plan or not, these people would probably do the same thing. For a moment, the Seitenshi began to panic.

If all that information were released, wouldn't the whole city descend into chaos? What would we do about the resulting commotion? Besides, those people have deeply entrenched connections; they have influence throughout the city, at both the highest and lowest levels.

Wouldn't taking action against them completely paralyze the entire city? Thinking this, the Seitenshi quickly said, "No, if we act rashly, it will cause chaos. Their relationships are intricate; moving one will have far-reaching consequences, and things will be difficult to handle later."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately shrugged and said, "Don't worry about that. The world is full of people who want to improve. As the saying goes, you can start a group, and there will be plenty of people who want to improve. Anyone who doesn't listen can just be killed."

His method was simple, direct, and very effective. Li Yu guaranteed that he could easily let the Seitenshi take control of the entire city. The Seitenshi didn't need to worry about these things; he just needed to wait to receive everything from them!
