World Calendar.
Year 333.
April 2.
News of the Great Abyss military's victory over the progenitor-level Pestilence [E] had yet to spread throughout the six nations.
Then came news that truly shook the world.
Formula World had unlocked its seals.
The Weng Family, one of the ten Medical Department families serving as its mouthpiece to the outside world, formally issued a public declaration.
The Medical Department... had returned to the world.
With the Weng Family's terrifying methods, this shocking news spread across the regions occupied by the six nations.
Rather than a notification, it was more like... a threat?
At the same time, the Weng Family's power as a mouthpiece was fully displayed.
Even Vacuum, the farthest away, was informed at once of the moment of unsealing and what would follow.
[Special Residency Treaty].
It ran to more than three thousand words.
Its simplified terms were as follows:
Effective immediately, the Supreme Joint Medical Headquarters [Medical Department] would dispatch Plague Exterminators to be stationed in the six nations. They would undertake the increasingly difficult epidemic-prevention efforts of the six nations and use the Medical Department's advanced technology to safeguard humanity's health.
"How laughable."
Chengyun Dynasty, Forbidden City.
Fang Tianzhao looked at the treaty, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
"This treaty has certainly been worded with great care, but... its intentions are damnable."
Below him, Chengyun's many powerful figures remained silent.
Naturally.
Other than Formula World itself, how could the massive six nations of Plague Extermination, each possessing independent administrative authority, possibly allow the Medical Department to interfere in their own governments?
Providing medical support? The Medical Department's intentions could not have been more obvious.
"Still... the public seems to welcome the Medical Department's arrival."
On the right side of the court.
