Sacred Domain Treaty Organization / I'll Take Full Responsibility

Isn't the revival of the Caruana family just around the corner?

I'm actually a little excited just thinking about it.

"If only it were that simple."

Ren shook his head.

If he hadn't forcibly taken Glenda away, and had simply declared the establishment of a nation on Itogami Island in the name of the Fourth Progenitor, reality would indeed have been as Liana said: as long as the island nation's government changed its policies and relinquished ownership of Itogami Island, the Night Empire would have been established naturally.

However, the situation changed completely the moment he snatched Glenda.

"Holy Annihilation" is a taboo word in this world.

Although many people do not know what the Holy Annihilation is, it does not stop them from fearing Cain.

As a creature sealed within Black Shell, Glenda naturally bears the label of Holy Annihilation.

Furthermore, it was Ren himself who made the move.

The various buffs are practically stacked to the max.

"Um, what do we do next? Itogami Island's internal network is in complete chaos."

"That's when Aiba Asagi said."

"Other situations don't require special attention; just have Aurora give a televised address."

At this point, everyone looked at Aurora, who was eating snacks.

Aurora was completely stunned for a moment, then stared blankly at Ren.

But soon, the girl with those clear yet foolish eyes transformed into a face with fiery red pupils that could radiate light.

Although she still looked the same, a strong sense of pride and arrogance emanated from her petite body.

"What do you need me to say?"

"The main point is to announce the founding of the nation; the rest is up to you."

"..."

On the other side.

Several voices could be heard coming from a dimly lit room.

This is a special, otherworldly place known as the "Whispering Garden".

In the center of the courtyard stood a crimson round table with twelve seats. Three of the seats were empty, while the remaining nine were occupied by the emperor, president, chairman, and prime minister, all members of the Sanctuary Treaty Organization.

However, their true faces were concealed by silver masks, and their murmurs, altered by magic, made it impossible to discern whose voices they were.

"Motoki Yaze lost power."

"It's not a big problem. His plan will collapse sooner or later; that's foreseeable."

"However, the result is that Itogami Island is now leaderless, and the Fourth Progenitor has obtained all the Familiars."

"However, intelligence indicates that the Fourth Progenitor has not fused with all his familiars."

"Even so, with her the Original memories preserved, she cannot be simply regarded as an individual with great power; she may pose a threat to us."

"Agreed. The threat of the Fourth Progenitor is imminent, and establishing the Night Empire may be part of her plan."

"What we should be more wary of is that man Ren. So far, all the events related to the Fourth Progenitor have been orchestrated by him alone. The idea of establishing the Night Empire may also be instigated by him behind the scenes. We can no longer sit idly by influencing him."

"Moreover, according to the report from the island nation's female prime minister, that man has also gained the wisdom of the Holy Annihilation."

Upon hearing this, the murmurs instantly turned into a slightly noisy clamor.

Chapter 349 Sanctuary Treaty Organization

The term "Holy Annihilation" has always been considered a taboo word in this world.

This is because, whether it is the true progenitor of vampires or the historical records of other demon races, the Holy Annihilation is described as an extremely terrifying power. On the other hand, the various ancient traces existing in this world also tell people about the danger of the Holy Annihilation.

Some even say that if an ordinary person obtained the power of the Holy Annihilation, they could threaten a country, or even the entire world.

Therefore, when the leaders of these countries learned that this power had been acquired by a person whose origins and whereabouts were completely mysterious, their existing worries turned into deep apprehension.

Then.

I don't know who used some kind of magical item.

An aerial view of Itogami Island, captured by a surveillance satellite, is projected onto the center of a round table in the Whispering Garden.

From any angle, everyone present saw a positive view.

Therefore, when these people saw Itogami Island, whose territory had expanded hundreds of times, they were deeply shocked.

After all, they did know a bit about Itogami Island as Demon Sanctuary.

In the past, it was at best an ordinary artificial island, a small city that could accommodate at most a million or so people.

But now, the area can easily accommodate not only hundreds of thousands of people, but even tens of millions.

This scale is practically impossible to manufacture using Itogami Island's existing technology.

Not to mention that once construction begins, the whole world will know immediately.

But just thirty minutes ago, Itogami Island didn't look like this.

"What's the deal with Itogami Island, this Demon Sanctuary?"

"Perhaps it's because of the Holy Annihilation Relic stolen from the island nation."

"It's unbelievable. To this day, we don't even know what's inside the Black Shell, yet he not only took away the Holy Annihilation Relic but also used it to do this."

"Could that man be a successor to Cain's lineage? Or... is he himself part of the Holy Annihilation Relic?"

"I'm not sure, but it's highly likely. At this point, we can't just leave it alone anymore, can we?"

"If this continues, it will inevitably become a profound... no, it has already become a threat to us."

"In that case, perhaps we can mobilize the institutional army to impose sanctions on them."

"Yes, send in troops, as long as they can wipe out that Demon Sanctuary."

"However, the Fourth Ancestor commands a total of twelve familiars. If she goes berserk, it will inevitably cause some losses to the army."

Upon hearing this, some people fell into deep thought.

Immediately afterwards.

"Continue issuing orders. We cannot allow the enemy to exploit Holy Annihilation's wisdom. Furthermore, we must thoroughly investigate information regarding that man."

"The Fourth True Ancestor is not to be feared. The Organization Army's combat strength is sufficient to find a way to deal with it. If all else fails, we can also take action."

Just then...

Another sound suddenly rang out.

Countless whispers turned into silence.

Even through the masks, the other nine people, who were hiding their true identities, were still visibly shaken.

Because it was only a moment ago, the two remaining seats under the round table were filled.

Two kings who had not appeared even once since the signing of the Sanctuary Treaty have shown themselves here at the same time.

Meanwhile, the permanent council members, who are also lords of the Night Empire and are granted special veto power in the Whispering Garden, make their appearance.

"At the same time, we will also negotiate with Itogami Island, and if they are willing to hand over the legacy of the Holy Annihilation, the sanctions decision can be revoked."

No one had any reason not to accept the suggestion made by the True Ancestor of Vampires.

After all, it would be best to resolve a dispute without losing a single soldier.

In fact, sanctions and deterrence against Itogami Island are already a foregone conclusion.

But at that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the last empty seat.

I wonder if they heard the thoughts of these people and the True Ancestor.

Finally, a figure arrived late to the last empty seat.

She didn't wear a silver mask, but instead revealed her signature beauty.

The Third True Ancestor Chaos Bride Jada.

Upon her appearance, everyone else instinctively held their breath.

It wasn't because Jada's identity was particularly special, but because as the True Ancestor of Vampires, she possessed the veto power over all decisions according to the Sanctuary Treaty.

Moreover, those present were more or less aware that the Chaos Bride had participated in the Feast of the Crimson on Itogami Island.

She even suffered a defeat in that confrontation with a strange man.

Although they don't know whether Jada deliberately lost the battle, it's a fact that the Chaos Bride had some connection with the other side.

The nine of them, plus two vampire progenitors, have unanimously agreed to send troops to pressure Itogami Island, but it would be meaningless if the Chaos Bride vetoed it.

Although they already have two True Ancestors on their side, they cannot ignore the opinion of the Chaos Bride.

Otherwise, the so-called veto power, and even the existence of the Sanctuary Organization, would be meaningless.

"We consider Itogami Island dangerous because it is the altar of the Holy Annihilation. If that power falls into the hands of an unknown entity, it would be a huge threat not only to us but to the world."

Someone spoke before the Chaos Bride could.

The goal, of course, is to persuade the other party.

But no one could truly fathom the true ancestor's personality.

Moreover, it is said that the Chaos Bride is the youngest of the three True Ancestors.

Although he was only young in comparison to the True Ancestor, he was indeed not as mature in character as the other two.

Upon hearing this, Princess Hundu secretly narrowed her eyes and smiled, revealing her adorable tiger teeth.

"I know what you're thinking. The threat of the Holy Annihilation does exist, and as the king of the Night Empire, I naturally cannot sit idly by. Therefore... I agree."

"?"

"..."

After the Chaos Bride expressed her opinion, it was they who were caught off guard.

Although the deeper meaning is unknown, the support of three True Ancestors is the best news for the Sanctuary Treaty Organization.

No one has any reason to question the Chaos Bride's decision.

"In that case, let's send out the institutional army."

"If we act quickly, we can complete the assembly within 48 hours."

"The meeting point will be on South Sulfur Island in the island nation."

After the meeting at the Whispering Garden concluded, the leaders of various countries began to draw troops from the institutional army and order them to assemble at designated locations.

While the organization's army was assembling in a grand manner, Ren on Itogami Island was also having Aiba Asagi broadcast Aurora's gameplay live.

Her personality was no longer Aurora, but the Original Fourth Progenitor. Although she was initially a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, she quickly got into character and announced to Itogami Island and everyone watching the live stream that she would establish a new Night Empire on Itogami Island.

Chapter 350 I will take full responsibility

However, the sudden live stream didn't initially convince viewers; the comments were mostly praise or mockery of Aurora's appearance.

After all, judging from her appearance alone, Aurora looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the age for junior high school.

Some viewers even commented that they had seen the other person in class, but these comments were quickly drowned out by the numerous other comments.

However, these remarks quickly became serious, because considering the current situation on Itogami Island and the statement issued by the island nation's female prime minister, this live broadcast was not a simple prank.

"From this moment forward, I am the king of the Fourth Night Empire Itogami Island."

"Furthermore, as you all know, regarding the statement issued by the island nation thirty minutes ago, the island nation government declared Itogami Island as its inherent territory, does not recognize the Night Empire, and has decided to dispatch its Self-Defense Forces."

"The Self-Defense Forces fleet is currently assembling."

At this point, viewers watching the live stream online looked surprised and confused.

After all, many of them still consider themselves islanders, never imagining that one day their homeland would be attacked by their own country's fleet.

Although the targets of the attack were not civilians like them, there was something strange about it.
