Chapter 370
Or those eyes that could perceive death and show you how concepts themselves could be killed, all of it made him tremble from his physical body to the depths of his soul, and he couldn't help but feel longing.
Ferris was the same, his eyes shining with yearning.
It's a pity that Lady Crusch is still waiting for him, so he cannot stay in...
Holy crap, Lady Crusch?
Ferris actually saw a dashing woman in men's clothing walking into a wide street.
Hiss?
So, because there were too many people in the Divine Tomb, he hadn't noticed that Crusch was also there?
There was no time to think; Ferris hurriedly ran over.
"This should be the offices for various countries in the Divine Realm mentioned in the broadcast~?"
Julius followed.
This area was the first to be built in the city; he hadn't heard of the "find people" advertisements everywhere.
Both sides of the street were filled with buildings of various styles, but most were dignified, atmospheric, and extremely magnificent.
And in front of every building, there were extremely eye-catching signs hanging either horizontally or vertically.
"Office of the 13th Branch of Britain, Hometown of King Arthur."
"Office of the French Special Investigation Bureau, Land of Joan of Arc."
"Office of the Japanese Magecraft Suppression Agency."
This should be the transcendent organization of this country?
Sensing the several incomparably powerful auras located inside, Julius sighed.
As expected of the Divine Kingdom, there are so many powerhouses even in the mortal world.
After strolling around, he discovered that there were really quite a few countries in this world, with offices of various countries' transcendent organizations densely packed on both sides.
On the road, he also heard locals whispering.
"A bunch of Anglo-Saxons, and they have the nerve to put up King Arthur's sign to recruit people."
"Falanxi is even more shameless; Joan of Arc risked her life to save everything, and they have the nerve to mention her after burning her to death."
"The square screen hasn't shown that Beast of Original Sin, Kaguya Shinomiya, crushing ten thousand Heroic Spirits with her own strength yet, right?"
???
Julius bypassed them with a blank expression.
He was already too lazy to be surprised at how absurd the Divine Kingdom was, just firmly remembering that name.
Absolutely, definitely, certainly, if he hears this name, he will burn his life and soul to run away.
Following Ferris, they arrived at the building marked: "Office of the Supernatural Phenomenon Research and Defense Bureau of the Federation, the World's Strongest Nation," and walked inside.
Passing through the magnificent hall, they walked along the road to the second floor, arriving in a comfortably and warmly decorated reception room.
There were quite a few people sitting inside; after all, the Federation was the strongest nation, and foreigners who couldn't return for the time being would naturally come to take a look.
Among them, Reinhard and the candidate for the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnica—Crusch—were both there, and even Subaru Natsuki, who had just separated from them not long ago, was nervously sitting in the main seat.
The reason for his nervousness was that two blonde, blue-eyed, busty beauties were sitting beside him, diligently acting spoiled and serving him.
On the other side.
Several staff members were introducing the treatment for transcendent beings of different levels.
Money and prospects were certainly indispensable, and more importantly, magecraft materials and resources were also supplied to varying degrees.
It made the foreigners' eyes burn with envy.
At a time like this,
Who the hell would be stupid enough to stick to their original path? They would definitely walk the path of magecraft.
And the magecraft materials and resources provided by the Federation were the most detailed and sufficient.
But...
The Federation was just a newborn nation established two hundred years ago; there was a high probability that there were no big shots backing them, and even if there were, they were likely on the side of the indigenous people.
After learning a little about how the Federation was established... they suddenly hesitated.
At this moment.
A ding-ding-ding notification sound rang out; the highest person in charge, Terush, who had been finding Subaru Natsuki to respectfully flatter, answered the communication and then directly turned up the volume.
The next moment.
The solemn voice of the communicator rang in everyone's ears.
"At 8:53 PM, foreign super lifeforms Tejalon, Esd... and others illegally invaded the Federation and landed in the Victoria region.
After three ineffective warnings, our side launched a lawful counterattack in accordance with Volume 3, Article 42 of the Federal Law, unfolding intense crossfire. At 9:01 PM, the super lifeform Esd was killed.
At 9:07 PM, the super lifeform Isis was killed... the remaining three left the country in the San Francisco region at 9:19 PM."
"Hereby, the Federal Secretary-General represents all of humanity in calling out to the foreign lifeforms who have smuggled themselves onto Earth: human dignity cannot be trampled upon, and human order cannot be provoked.
Anyone, even a king from a foreign realm, is just a guest when they come to Earth; guests need to act like guests and must respect local laws and order."
It took several seconds for the young lady to finish speaking solemnly.
The reception room remained quiet.
They had long known the news that five near-gods were going together to set foot in the Federation.
They had even prepared for the Federation to be devastated by the slaughter of the near-gods, ushering in the intervention of the upper echelons of the Divine Kingdom, but who knew...
The foreigners present were in a daze.
Only Subaru Natsuki sighed in his heart after being shocked.
The Federation is still the same as always.
In these words, it was obvious that they did not recognize any non-Earth humans as humans, referring to them as foreign lifeforms, super lifeforms, and the like.
However, he would never believe that the Federation could leap to the level of defeating, no, killing two near-gods in just half a year.
It must have been the higher-ups who took action.
Maybe they didn't take action directly, but it definitely had something to do with them.
Hiss~~
Successive sounds of gasping rang out.
The foreign powerhouses who had originally looked down on these mortals of the Divine Kingdom were now breaking out in cold sweat.
Damn.
They must find a local force to join as soon as possible and become one of their own.
They also guessed that it was likely the upper echelons of the Divine Kingdom who gave these mortals assistance, but doesn't that just show how much they are valued?
Being valued by such beings is even more terrifying than killing near-gods by strength, right?
"Lord Subaru Natsuki, please wait a moment."
Terush turned his head, his brilliant smile disappeared instantly, and he turned back with a kind of restraint and pride unique to the people of the Divine Kingdom: "You can take your time to consider your position; my Federation is undoubtedly the strongest nation on the Blue Star and is also at the forefront of the world on the path of magecraft. It is definitely the best choice for you all."
Not only did he look down on people, but his attitude also made it clear that it didn't matter whether they joined or not.
But let's not say, the foreigners just ate this up.
At this moment, some of them were even developing a fanaticism for the converts amidst their awe of the Divine Kingdom; if they returned to their own world, they would probably become traitors to their realm directly.
"No need!"
A legendary warrior from a magical world, The Mountain, hardened his heart.
What does it matter to work under mortals?
These are mortals of the Divine Kingdom, can they be the same?
In the magical world, he was considered a powerhouse, but two members of the team that once conquered the Demon God achieved demigod status, and from then on, they were not in the same world as him.
One step behind, every step behind; the distance between his former companions and himself would only get further and further.
And now that he had such an opportunity, if he didn't grasp it, he wouldn't forgive himself.
Directly picking up the wine bottle labeled "Water of Life," he bowed his head to the person in charge, and The Mountain said loudly: "No need to consider; since Lord Terush is so kind, I, The Mountain, can join now.
Just let it be said first, I want double the treatment on the contract."
On the contract, the highest was Fourth Rank, which was the legendary level.
But he was far stronger than the average Fourth Rank legendary; he belonged to the titled legendary rank, and above that was demigod.
Need to add money!!
Status, resources, he wanted it all.
Holy crap.
Terush was a little stunned.
