Chapter 90: The Arbitrators Said: This Is Very Balanced!

This [Fertility] craving for resonance with its kind continuously flooded into the heart of the Fertility Envoy.

Among them were portions belonging to the Gramer Iron Cavalry, and portions belonging to the Swarm…

“…”

After a moment’s thought, [Titania] slowly extended her palm and issued a call—

“The [Fertility] faction should not consist solely of insects…”

[Titania] silently purged the chaos and disorder that had gathered, which contradicted her own will.

They would once again become the Iron Cavalry of the Gramer Empire, guarding beside the true Empress.

The revived Empress did not act immediately; instead, she quietly began adjusting the vast Geju of Gramer.

The Iron Cavalry began forming an invisible iron net, undetected by the Gramer magnates.

The Swarm also subtly changed; the Empress gradually gained control over it.

Yet today, behind Gramer, all remained drunk in illusion, utterly unaware.

…

Amber 2157 Era.

Interstellar Peace News: Today’s cosmic sky remained far from peaceful.

“Welcome to today’s Interstellar Peace Noon News. First, let us introduce the main topics of this broadcast…”

“Regarding Gramer Empire’s latest economic policy, our corporation issues a formal protest—this is a blatant violation of interstellar trade.”

“...Given Gramer Empire’s stance, our corporation will take action regarding this matter...”

The Interstellar Peace News anchor spent five minutes condemning and protesting the Gramer Empire.

“Hmm… the Gramer Empire—no matter how many times I see it, it still feels incredible!”

The Starcore Hunter, Silver Wolf, stared at the news for a long time, then stiffly tugged at her small face.

Just the day before, Fl Kage ’s homeland existed only in fragmented historical references.

Yet within a single day, an interstellar superpower had emerged in the cosmic galaxy, frequently clashing with Interstellar Peace Corporation.

“Eliot, was this within your expectations?”

The elegant beauty with amethyst hair blinked, casting her puzzled gaze toward the black cat beside her.

Cavca felt this couldn’t possibly be insignificant.

“Meow!!!”

But the black cat merely stared blankly at the news, then screamed in horror and hurled the latest script onto the floor.

“My script!!!”

Eliot knew the Genius Club could cause trouble—but he never imagined these geniuses could cause THIS much trouble!

He had given the oddity as a reward to #84 merely hoping he’d use it to smuggle a few Gramer Iron Cavalry into this era.

But yet…

Not only had the Iron Cavalry multiplied—they’d multiplied into an entire Gramer Empire!

An interstellar hegemon appearing out of nowhere? The impact was enormous!

How could he possibly work himself to death to rewrite a logically consistent script?

Pirepoint, headquarters of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

At this moment, the seven-member Board of Directors was in session.

Directors from Market Expansion, Construction and Logistics, and other departments attended as well.

They were all frowning, studying the intelligence gathered by the Intelligence Division on the Gramer Empire.

But the more they read, the colder their backs grew.

Why did this dossier feel more horrifying with every page?

“Speak. These two utterly different reports.”

One was the current dominant power: the Gramer Empire.

The other was the long-vanished Gramer Republic, buried in history’s corner.

Interstellar Peace Corporation was no ordinary minor faction.

Though its sheer size and countless warring factions made it bloated and chaotic,

Itachi couldn’t say it was weak!

They had countless methods to confirm both documents were genuine.

Yet.

If both documents were genuine, then the strangeness became undeniable.

Though the current Gramer Empire was far smaller than Interstellar Peace Corporation, its military strength made even them wary.

Its repeatedly upgraded Iron Cavalry even dared to directly assault Interstellar Peace Corporation’s headquarters—Pirepoint!

“After extensive research by the Technology Development Department, and joint authentication with the Society of Omniscience, perhaps someone has tampered with the domain of time…”

After a long silence, the head of Technology Development finally spoke the conclusion.

“…”

The meeting hall fell silent upon hearing this conclusion.

Even in the cosmic sky, where lunatics abounded, this was a terrifying enough event.

“Perhaps this is the truth!”

The Strategic Investment Department Director—Diamond—grudgingly affirmed the Technology Department’s conclusion, his voice low: “When I learned of this, I exhausted every ounce of my Envoy authority.”

“...The result was, two entirely different memories appeared directly in my mind.”

“We must act quickly. Today, an interstellar hegemon appeared out of nowhere. Tomorrow, Interstellar Peace Corporation could split into two entities: Interstellar Corporation and Peace Corporation.”

Taravan Keen’s expression was grim.

He too was a Preservation Envoy, but unlike Diamond, his Envoy authority did not grant him full insight into the details.

Yet he did not doubt Diamond’s conclusion.

Then the situation was dire indeed!

“We must find out who did this.”

“Can we extract the truth from the Gramer Empire?”

“Probably not. Gramer is a [Fertility] faction—our infiltration would come at too great a cost.”

“Who tampered with the domain of time—why hasn’t the [Balance] faction reacted?”

Diamond asked, puzzled.

From any angle, this was exactly when Itachi lot should be stepping in to maintain cosmic balance!

Why has there been no movement at all?

“Indeed. As Arbitrators who pursue dynamic cosmic balance by eliminating extreme opposition to achieve [Zero-Sum], have Itachi any statement?”

Taravan Keen recalled the [Balance] faction’s doctrine, and turned to the silent head of Technology Development.

“After reaching our preliminary conclusion, we contacted the Arbitrators immediately—result?”

“The Arbitrators said: This is very balanced!”

How is this balanced?

Tampering with time is clearly an extreme imbalance!

What kind of brain do Itachi Arbitrators have?

The head of Technology Development held up the Arbitrators’ reply, his expression a mix of disbelief: “These Arbitrators believe that with the emergence of the Gramer Empire, the entire cosmic galaxy has entered a more [balanced] state—they see no reason to intervene…”

This was impossible to accept.
