Chapter 995
Chapter 986: The Structuring Problem of the Yama Underworld!
Sea Star Underworld.
Im witnessed the entire process of Enma Castle being forcefully suppressed by the Giant Army led by Eren Yeager from within the Dimensional Space.
Now, the World Government flag hangs on the battlements of Enma Castle.
In the streets and alleys, apart from the Colossal Titan, other Titan Shifters from past generations are leading squads of Pure Titans on patrol, occasionally dealing with thugs who dare to attack them.
This terrified the residents throughout the city, causing them to hide in their homes, trembling, fearing the giants might suddenly destroy their houses and crush or step on them.
Such fear was something they felt they would never forget in their lives.
However, this kind of thing never happened.
Under the control of Eren's Founding Titan ability, all Pure Titans' actions were orderly.
Hmm... but it wasn't entirely the merit of these giants.
Their opponents were mainly the hundred thousand or so Yama Army soldiers.
The key was that Yama and Hashirama Senju dealt with the five thousand Black Robed Shinigami, as well as the various experts and strong individuals who emerged from inside the city.
Unfortunately, King Yama had taken most of his combat power to the Ninja World before, leaving these remaining forces unable to stir up much trouble.
However, this is just the initial occupation. Next, a heap of trouble awaits Yama to resolve.
For example, the support from various Yama Army units.
They were previously stationed at the river mouths of several other Underworld Rivers.
Now that their home base has been taken, they are naturally rushing back.
There are also demons and ghosts in the Underworld who are hostile towards the World Government, and among them are not a few powerful existences.
But Im has no intention of interfering.
Since he decided to let Yama preside over and manage the various matters of the Underworld for him, these are the tasks she must face.
And Im's focus is on three areas.
Firstly, the rebirth of King Yama, which is the top priority.
Regarding the time point of his rebirth, Yama has confirmed it by searching Sanast's soul.
The thirteenth day after his death in battle!
That is, ten days from now!
However, even Sanast doesn't know the rebirth location.
After all, King Yama had never died in battle outside before.
Even the rebirth time was something Sanast heard him mention during a casual chat in the past.
Because King Yama never thought he would be defeated and die, he spoke of these things very casually...
However, Yama told Im that a part of her origin of power comes from King Yama.
So, as long as King Yama appears, she will definitely be able to sense it through some unseen connection.
Thinking about it, after King Yama knows all this, he must regret creating her back then, right?
Of course, the key is that he could never have thought that Im could use the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy to turn his Enma Blade into his 'daughter', Yama.
After all, both Im the Transmigrator, and the Star Map and Star Gate are accidents comparable to miracles...
When King Yama is reborn, Im will definitely have a showdown with him to completely decide the control of this Sea Star Underworld!
To be honest, Im has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Ever since he first learned of King Yama's existence, he had actually been enduring.
Enduring the existence of someone stronger than himself on the Sea Star!
Im can accept the existence of stronger beings in other worlds, but not on the Sea Star!
This is why, even though he could have coexisted peacefully and achieved win-win cooperation with King Yama,
He still chose to scheme against him and risk trying to kill him off.
Because the Sea Star is Im's base.
Whether it's the Human World or the Underworld, it should be "Above and Below Heaven, Only I Am Supreme"!
So, King Yama must die!!!
Secondly, it's the negotiation with Otsutsuki Hagoromo in the Ninja World Pure Land.
This is also very important, as the opponent's strength is currently stronger.
Since he can't defeat them, he must naturally facilitate cooperation.
His bargaining chip is that the Ninja World is in the hands of the World Government.
To put it bluntly, if he gets ruthless, he can completely reduce the population of the Ninja World to less than one in ten.
For example, by withdrawing Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the First Main Battle Legion, and letting the Demon Army run rampant in the Ninja World.
At the same time, dispatching the Air Force to fly to various nations to drop Bomb Rocks, Five Paths Revolving Furnaces, and even bioweapons newly developed by the Biochemical Research Institute.
And all he needs to ensure is bringing Sakazuki and Kuzan back.
As for the others... it's no big deal to discard them.
Isn't it just a Main Battle Legion of sixty thousand people?
The World Government can raise another one in minutes!
However, Otsutsuki Hagoromo shouldn't have that kind of impulsive personality. In the manga, this person gives Im the feeling of being mature and steady.
So, he ordered Yama to dispatch a diplomatic team to the Ninja World Pure Land.
To prevent unnecessary accidents, he also had Hashirama Senju send a Wood Clone along.
Its mission is to tell Otsutsuki Hagoromo that the World Government and King Yama are not the same thing.
It was King Yama who invaded the Pure Land, and it is the World Government that wants to cooperate with the Pure Land!
Finally, there is the question of how the World Government will manage the Underworld.
Although thinking about this now is a bit too early, Im is currently idle.
He is learning about the current operation mode of the Sea Star Underworld while also thinking about this matter.
But after learning about it, Im was speechless.
King Yama basically didn't manage it much at all.
He just had the Black Robed Shinigami of the Death God Army go to Yomi-Hirazaka to maintain the order of the newborn undead pouring in from the Human World.
Then, based on their strength, they were classified; those with decent strength were taken to Enma Castle to become members of the Enma Army.
Those with even better strength became members of the Death God Army.
As for the powerful undead, they directly became King Yama's food.
Of course, this was before. Since the appearance of the Star Gate, King Yama began to intentionally keep the stronger undead.
Roger, Rayleigh, Oden, they were all like this; otherwise, they would have long since entered King Yama's belly.
Other undead were taken by the Black Robed Shinigami to towns or villages throughout the Underworld.
After that, they were left alone, as these undead would automatically reincarnate when the time came.
Which of the Six Paths of Reincarnation they entered was completely random.
That's right, there was no trial process whatsoever; the Underworld's reincarnation mechanism simply operated passively.
It was not much different from underworlds not managed by a Lord of the Underworld.
From this point of view, King Yama was derelict in duty!
But for so many years, no one could control him.
However, since Im has decided to let the World Government take over the Underworld, it definitely cannot continue like this.
A complete and perfect Underworld organizational structure must be established.
Also, the large and small towns, demons, and ghosts in the wilderness must be brought under control. This would require constantly patrolling Day and Night Roaming Gods?
In the hazy purple Dimensional Space.
Im sat on a chair created with Stigma Alchemy, holding a pen and looking at the white paper on the table, lost in thought.
He occasionally moved his pen to write something, sometimes muttering to himself: "I can refer to the organizational structure of the Underworld Palace..."
"Besides the Ten Kings of Hell, and only one Yama, the Six Case Merit Officer, Reincarnation Division, Yin Cao Division, Three Divisions of Judges, Yin Ghosts, Soul Catchers, Three Demon Underworld Emissaries... these are actually quite complete, just need slight modification."
"The current problem is these names, should they be continued?"
What do you think? Should we continue using these names from the Underworld Palace?
...
