"But... that was also land we lost. We'll try to take it back!"
Child Emperor spoke with a resolute gaze.
"Heh heh, little guy, the disaster has been going on for so many years. Have you reclaimed even an inch of land?! So stop talking big! The Empire didn't come to start a war, nor did it come to invade your land. We came to lead you in reclaiming your homeland.
"The Empire will prove with its own strength that we not only possess great power, but also the determination to reclaim everything humanity has lost. After every area is recovered, we'll build new cities there. When the time comes, everyone will be welcome to immigrate!"
Child Emperor was instantly rendered speechless. Indeed, ever since Monsters had appeared decades ago, the range of human activity had steadily shrunk.
The frequent Monster incidents had forced humanity to retreat again and again, until billions of people could now only live on land smaller than a major nation before the apocalypse.
The pressure of life was immense. It wasn't as if there were no social conflicts; they had merely been diverted by the threat of Monsters.
If this so-called Empire could truly reclaim humanity's lost lands, and the world was ruled by them afterward, should he really try to stop them?!
At that moment, it wasn't just Child Emperor thinking about this question. The nearby S-Class Heroes were thinking about it as well.

The moment he answered the call, the Hero Association president felt incredibly conflicted. He knew that the Cabinet calling him at a time like this could mean nothing
