Chapter 897: Wishing Everyone a Safe and Peaceful May Day Holiday!
Just as Sakazuki thought.
The World Government is not a small organization or workshop.
It is a massive Political Power Organization spanning seven worlds, including the Home Sea Star and the Ninja World currently being conquered.
If viewed from the Star Map in Lord Im's hand, it could even be said to span seven Cosmic Star Zones.
This means the World Government's attention will not always be focused solely on the Ninja World.
Of course.
This is also related to the fact that the Ninja World hasn't brought too much pressure so far.
According to Lord Im's plan, he intended to first see the result of King Yama's invasion of the Pure Land.
If King Yama successfully defeated Otsutsuki Hagoromo, then he would abandon some overly dangerous ideas.
He would directly upgrade the Ninja World's Star Gate from small to medium, ordering the Military to dispatch a Large Force to launch a Full Conquest.
But if King Yama failed, then the matter of a Large-scale Invasion would need further Consideration.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and forty-seven"
"Hoo—hoo—"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and forty-eight"
Inside the third layer of the Star Pressure Palace, within the dim purple Domain.
Lord Im, bare-chested with a body that could be described as perfect, was doing Push-ups on the Ground with extreme difficulty. His muscular Body was visibly trembling violently with each Push-up.
His entire skin was flushed red, emitting High Temperature like a Stove.
Every time sweat was squeezed out of his pores, it was instantly evaporated by his Scorching Hot Body Temperature.
The Gravity here was nineteen times that of the Sea Star.
Even for Lord Im, completing ten thousand Push-ups in this Environment was an extremely Suffering Matter.
He had attempted it three times before.
His best result was completing seven thousand three hundred and sixteen times.
And today, he seemed capable of achieving the ten thousand mark.
"Haa—haa—haa—"
However, Lord Im's current state was very poor.
When he reached the nine thousand nine hundred and ninetieth repetition, the Fatigue and Pain on his Body were immense.
Crucially, his Consciousness was starting to feel dizzy.
"Er ah ah"
Lord Im gritted his teeth, slowly bending his arms against the Pressure, lowering his Body.
But when he tried to push back up, he felt an unimaginable Gravity.
At this moment, he could faintly hear his entire Bones emitting Sorrowful cries.
His strong Heartbeat Frequency was so rapid it was like a heavy hammer constantly pounding inside his Chest.
"Nine nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-one!!"
[Roar!]
After completing this movement, Lord Im could no longer hold on. His muscles, which had been tensed to the extreme, instantly relaxed.
The next second, Lord Im suddenly disappeared from his original Position, appearing in the Zone outside the purple Domain in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, he felt his entire Body and mind become incredibly relaxed.
He experienced this kind of Experience almost every day.
However, there was one very magical point.
Namely, whenever he successfully completed ten thousand Push-ups at a certain Gravity multiplier, no matter how tired his Body was before, the Suffering would quickly recover in a short period.
His Physical Ability, Strength, Speed, and other aspects would also see noticeable Improvement.
"Still couldn't break through ten thousand times? It's so difficult."
Feeling quite helpless, Lord Im picked up a special 'Purple Butterfly Pill' from the Plate brought by Nichika Ubuyashiki and swallowed it.
As far as he knew, among his Admirals and Fleet Admirals, the one with the best result was Garp.
He could now complete about eight thousand Push-ups under fourteen times Gravity.
Next was Bullet, who could complete about seven thousand Push-ups under thirteen times Gravity.
Third was Kaido, who could complete about five thousand Push-ups under thirteen times Gravity.
Then came Newgate, Sengoku, Zephyr, Sakazuki...
Among them, Edward Newgate had already used the Military Merit he had accumulated to exchange for a Gravity Training Field Generation System for the Whitebeard Kingdom.
This allowed him and his 'Sons' to train at home anytime.
These Gravity Training Field Generation Systems also had functions such as Identity Recognition and Data Recording.
Therefore, their Training progress was under the Monitoring of the World Government.
Just then, Stussy, still as beautiful as ever, hurried over in High Heels: "Lord Imu, an Urgent Report from the 'Zero Magic World'!"
"Just tell me what it is."
Lord Im waited for his Body to cool down, casually taking the Wine Glass handed to him by Ubuyashiki Hinaki.
He lay down on a nearby Lounge Chair, feeling a bit tired, and enjoyed the Hand Massage from Ubuyashiki Kanata and Ubuyashiki Kuina.
Although it was an Urgent Report, since it wasn't a direct call from the Five Elders, it meant it wasn't too serious a Matter.
"Yes."
Stussy stood to the side and relayed the main Content of the Report in a somewhat hurried tone.
"Two days ago, Admiral 'Shiki' the Golden Lion, in order to gather the 'Four of the Four' Void Legend of the 'Magic Progenitor' Brimir."
"Ordered the only Half-Elf who didn't have a Familiar yet, Tiffania, to summon her 'Void Familiar' in the Capital of Adilu in the Nevarthes Elf Kingdom."
"The summoning process before that was very smooth."
"But the Familiar she summoned was a Male Adult Elf with severe Burn Injuries, who had fallen into a Coma. His Body quickly recovered with the help of a Biological Alchemist."
"However, after waking up, it was discovered that no one could Understand the Language he spoke, including Louise, Tiffania, and the other Elf Race members there."
"Therefore, it can be confirmed that he, like Hiraga Saito and Giulio Cesare, also came from Other Worlds."
"Fortunately, Louise's Void Magic was also effective on him, easily solving the Language Communication Problem between both sides."
Speaking up to this point, Stussy's tone carried clear admiration.
She was one hundred percent certain that Louise would receive special attention from the World Government.
After all, this was a Special Field Talent whose Value was comparable to Muzan Kibutsuji and Queen Otohime.
"After communication between Tiffania and others with him, we learned that this Otherworld Elf Race member is named Hodorir Le Marsil."
"He said he came from a Great Forest called the 'Forest of Koang', which is the Territory of their High Elf Race."
"He also said that they were attacked by a Fire Dragon, which resulted in the destruction of their Entire Race and the Forest in a Sea of Fire, and Tiffania happened to summon him to the 'Zero Magic World' at that time, allowing him to escape the disaster."
Lord Im listened attentively while recalling his past Memory.
But he was speechless to find that there was no information about 'Hodorir Le Marsil' and the 'Forest of Koang' in his mind.
Judging from Elements like High Elf and Fire Dragon, it was likely another Western fantasy Otherworld similar to the 'Zero Magic World'.
And Stussy's narration continued.
"Mr. Hodorir also requested rescue from Tiffania, Louise, and others for his Daughter named 'Luna', whom he had hidden under a Water Well."
"Luna..."
Lord Im pondered inwardly, but still couldn't connect it to a specific person.
This made him somewhat suspect that he hadn't read this particular Fantasy Work.
After all, there were so many Japanese Anime/Manga, it wasn't strange that he hadn't seen many of them.
Or perhaps the worlds opened by the Star Gate weren't necessarily all Japanese Anime/Manga, or even necessarily Fantasy Works from the former Earth?
"Therefore, Chairman Fernandez of the Otherworld Strategy Committee has requested instructions on how to choose."
"Should we follow Admiral 'Shiki' the Golden Lion's Plan and have Louise open the Space Gate to the 'Holy Land' to conquer the Technology World opposite?"
"Or accept Mr. Hodorir's request and have Louise open the Space Gate leading to the World he came from?"
Stussy lightly pushed up the Glasses on her nose, emphasizing:
"Lord Imu, according to the information provided by Mr. Hodorir, his World not only has Magic, but also an Empire that rules the entire Continent, as well as a large number of Kingdoms and Duchies."
"Most notably, there seem to be a group of so-called Gods, such as the 'Sun God' Freya, whom he worships."
Indeed, upon hearing the words 'Gods', Lord Im also subconsciously frowned.
No matter what World it was, as long as it was linked to 'Gods and Demons', it was worth his and the World Government's Importance.
"However, the Lifespan of the Elf Race in this World seems to be nearly five times higher than that in the 'Zero Magic World', meaning they generally have a Lifespan of a thousand years."
"According to Mr. Hodorir, for them, anyone under two hundred years old is considered a Youngster, under six hundred is considered Prime Age, and only above six hundred is considered Old Age. Furthermore, their Appearance does not age before eight hundred years old, and he himself is currently four hundred and twenty-three years old..."
Stussy said softly with an envious Expression.
Both Eternal Youth and a thousand-year Lifespan were a Great Temptation for most Humans.
Therefore, after learning that the Elf Race in the 'Zero Magic World' had a Lifespan of up to two hundred years, the World Government designated it as 'Level 8 Top Secret'.
This meant it was something only personnel above the rank of Government Dean or Military Fleet Admiral were allowed to know.
Of course.
The Biochemical Research Institute was certainly secretly Researching these Elf Race members from the 'Zero Magic World'.
But who would have thought that now there was another Otherworld Elf Race with an even longer Lifespan?
Lord Im, lying on the Lounge Chair, naturally noticed Stussy's Expression and thought to himself, should he give his Secretary-General a 'Pure Gold Ring'?
After all, she had worked hard and contributed greatly over the years.
"Since that's the case, let's proceed with the original Plan and open the Space Gate to the Technology World first."
Lord Im immediately made the Decision.
Although this Decision would surely disappoint, perhaps even cause Despair for, that Hodorir.
But he had no Obligations to consider the other party.
"Yes."
Stussy nodded.
But just as she was about to turn and go inform the Five Elders, unexpectedly, the Golden Den Den Mushi on the Tray held by Ubuyashiki Hinaki suddenly started ringing.
[Splish]
Lord Im picked up the Golden Handset and calmly looked straight ahead: "Speak."
"Lord Imu, just now, the Moon Base currently under Construction on the Home Sea Star was attacked by an Airship from the Universe. Judging by the Skull Pattern on the Airship's surface, it seems to be a group of Pirates?"
The person calling was Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who was in charge of the Military.
Both his tone and the Den Den Mushi's imitation of his Expression were very serious.
"..."
Lord Im was speechless. He was very surprised. Shouldn't the Space Pirates of the Sea Star appear seventeen years later?
"Project the Situation on the Moon."
"Yes!"
Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Lord Im glanced at the shocked Stussy and the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters.
Although they were already used to the existence of Other Worlds, this was the first time they had heard of Aliens coming directly from the Universe.
Furthermore, these Aliens had attacked the World Government's Home Sea Star.
In their view, the Moon of the Sea Star was also part of the Sea Star.
"You don't need to overthink it, just do your own things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Im Teleported back into the Study Room and ordered the 'Star Den Den Mushi' to project a Holographic Virtual Image.
Soon.
The 'Star Sea Den Den Mushi System', possessing Super High Intelligence, displayed the Moon Live Broadcast Footage sent by the Five Elders.
The scene was like a scaled-down Virtual Sandbox Model appearing on Lord Im's desk.
A Black Warship, estimated to be about 'ten centimeters' long, was floating Overhead the Moon Surface.
Each side of the Airship was printed with a Forest Green Skull and Crossed Scimitars pattern. The Skull also wore a 'Millstone Hat' that looked like it was wrapped in a Headscarf.
No wonder they speculated they were Space Pirates; Sea Star People were very Familiar with this kind of Skeleton.
But the key point was that this entirely black Space Warship was continuously unleashing crisscrossing Green Lasers from Laser Weapons similar to a 'Close-in Weapon System' onto the Moon Base below.
Nearly a hundred Small Craft also flew out from inside and landed on the Moon Surface.
As the Main Gate opened, groups of Aliens, strange in appearance but all wearing unified yellow Space Combat Suits, poured out.
Some of them looked like Beastmen from the Mink Tribe, while others looked like Humans but with chaotic Body Sizes.
In terms of Weapons, most were Small Laser Guns, but some also held Blades, Swords, Staffs, and Axes in their hands.
They swarmed towards the Moon Base, which already had quite a few Building Facilities.
At the same time, the Air Force Unit stationed at the Moon Base quickly reacted.
Air Force Warships, modeled after Modern Steel Warships and equipped with advanced Weapons like 'Thunder Spear' Rocket Launchers and various types of Ship-borne Missiles, took off one after another.
They launched an encirclement Attack on the relatively large Space Warship above.
In addition, a large number of Air Force Soldiers, led by Officers wearing Blue Justice Coats, were fighting fiercely with the attacking Space Pirates on the Moon Surface and in Mid-air, successfully intercepting the latter outside the Base.
For a time, the Sea Star's Moon, which had been Desolate for who knows how many years, suddenly became a fierce Battlefield filled with Gunsmoke, Cries of Killing, and Lasers Flying everywhere.
Although the Laser Guns in the hands of the Space Pirates had considerable Power, not only was 'Iron Body' difficult to defend against, but their Speed was also very fast, resulting in many Soldier Casualties.
The Aliens holding Cold Weapons also seemed quite Strong.
Basically, they had reached the level of their own Officers.
But overall, the Air Force side still had a great Advantage and was suppressing them.
It looked like the Combat would be over soon.
The problem was that at High Altitude, that black Space Warship had already destroyed four Air Force Steel Warships with its Green Lasers.
And the Rockets, Missiles, Cannons, and other Weapons of the latter were either quickly Intercepted by the former using Lasers, or easily withstood the Explosive Bombardment with its own Armor.
Lord Im watched the entire Screen Feed with a blank Expression.
But a chilling Cold Aura that made people's hearts palpitate gradually emanated from his Body...
[Whoosh!]
Suddenly, a Golden Beam, particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the Dark Universe, instantly cut through the Void from somewhere in the Moon Base, precisely hitting the Space Pirates' Black Warship.
The next moment, [Roar!]
A massive Fireball rose.
The Black Warship showed obvious Tilt and Tremor in the Explosion.
When the Hikari dissipated, Lord Im clearly saw a hideous but red-hot Dent blown open on the left side of the Warship.
This scene made Lord Im unsure whether to say the Space Warship's Defense was Strong, or Borsalino's Light Beam's Power was Strong.
It seemed to have achieved a Break Defense with one hit, but it didn't completely Penetrate the Armor.
[Whoosh!]
At this moment, another Light Beam followed closely, hitting the same Position on the Space Warship again with precision.
[Roar!]
This time it could no longer withstand it. Trailing thick Black Smoke, it plummeted towards the Moon Surface...
"Looks like I don't need to make a move. Not bad."
Lord Im nodded, quite satisfied.
Although Borsalino seemed lazy, he was quite reliable at crucial moments.
It seemed it wouldn't be long before they could get information about the outside world from these Space Pirates.
It now appeared that the Cosmic Star Zone where the Sea Star was located was also quite lively, after all, it was impossible for there to be only this one group of Space Pirates, right?
However, the Combat Power on the Moon needed to be further strengthened.
Also, the Prevention Capability must be improved.
The situation of only reacting when someone attacks the Doorstep must be avoided from happening again!
Chapter 898: Home Sea Star Under Attack!
This chapter is a bit short. As usual, I will be taking a day off. Speaking of which, I updated a total of 180,000 characters this month, which is 60,000 more than the previous 120,000. I'd say I've worked hard!
In terms of plot, I have finally reached this point according to my Outline. The World Government is about to enter the Space Age!
In my earliest thoughts, the World Government was meant to simultaneously deal with Star Gate Otherworlds and Cosmic Forces.
Therefore.
The early stage of the novel is basically over, and the Mid Stage is beginning to unfold. There is still a lot of Content I want to write in my mind.
I hope I can keep going, and I also hope that all the Readers here can accompany me on this journey.
Let us witness together the World Government of the Sea Star ultimately becoming the World Government of the Multiverse.
The novel is already 2.2 million characters long. I cannot guarantee that I can write up to 10 million.
But if I don't give up halfway, it should reach 5 million characters.
So.
I would like to Bow to the Readers who have read up to this point! Thank you very much for your continuous Encouragement and Support!
(End of this chapter)
Just as Sakazuki thought.
The World Government is not a small organization or workshop.
It is a massive Political Power Organization spanning seven worlds, including the Home Sea Star and the Ninja World currently being conquered.
If viewed from the Star Map in Lord Im's hand, it could even be said to span seven Cosmic Star Zones.
This means the World Government's attention will not always be focused solely on the Ninja World.

The early stage of the novel is basically over, and the Mid Stage is beginning to unfold. There is still a lot of Content I want to write in my mind.
I hope I can keep going, and I also hope that all the Readers here can accompany me on this journey.
Let us witness together the World Government of the Sea Star ultimately becoming the World Government of the Multiverse.
The novel is already 2.2 million characters long. I cannot guarantee that I can write up to 10 million.
But if I don't give up halfway, it should reach 5 million characters.
So.
I would like to Bow to the Readers who have read up to this point! Thank you very much for your continuous Encouragement and Support!
