The Gastrea Act, which she supports, is designed to protect these children.
And now...
These cursed children seem to have found their own god—Bai Li.
"You won't succumb to power? You just haven't grasped the concept of power yet."
After Baili finished speaking, he looked at the enormous stone tablet in the distance.
It was a giant stone monument standing on the earth.
These massive defensive walls, made of metal, surround various areas to prevent Gastrea from invading; they are also known as barriers.
It is 1,618 kilometers high and about 1 kilometer wide, with one side every ten kilometers, forming a group of megaliths that completely surround part of the Kanto Plain.
Besides the Kanto Plain—
That is, in addition to the former Tokyo Metropolitan Area, it also surrounds parts of the former Kanagawa Prefecture, the former Chiba Prefecture, and the former Saitama Prefecture.
There have been instances where the destruction of the Phase V monolith caused the barrier to collapse, allowing other Gastrea to invade. These instances are known as mass extinctions, a situation that can only be described as hellish.
And now-
Baili raised his hand.
It was not a wave, nor a summons, but an extremely slow movement, yet imbued with absolute will.
His right palm faced the giant stone tablet, his five fingers slightly spread, and a strange, chaotic ripple appeared at the fingertips.
At this moment, time seemed to stretch out.
In the square, everyone who felt an inexplicable pressure held their breath, and even the wind seemed to stop.
hum-
A deep vibration came from the depths of space. It was neither sound nor vibration, but a soul-stirring resonance, as if some frequency from the depths of the universe had suddenly tuned into this world.
Immediately afterwards, the megalith began to exhibit abnormalities!
A deep, distant tremor came from ten kilometers away!
The distant megalith began to distort!
It no longer reflects light, but instead, like a black hole, swallows up all the colors around it.
The once clearly visible outlines became blurred, as if shrouded in an invisible mist, gradually detaching from reality.
"what is that?!"
The crowd of reporters gathered at the scene gasped in surprise. Some instinctively stepped back, while others frantically filmed with their cameras, only to find that they couldn't capture any footage.
"Is it true? The megalith... is disappearing!!"
A reporter confirmed the situation and looked panicked.
The soldiers lying on the ground, including Tendo Kisara and Aihara Enju, the promoters and initiators, struggled to raise their heads and gaze into the distance.
As the reporter said... megaliths are disappearing from this world! (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
It did not collapse or shatter, but rather it was as if it had been pulled out of this three-dimensional space by an invisible hand, and finally disappeared into some unknown dimension!
"Look! Its shadow!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
That's right—a shadow.
The enormous shadow that was originally cast on the ground is visibly fading and shrinking until it disappears completely.
That means the megalith no longer exists in this world!
Baili didn't speak, but just stood there quietly, his hands slightly clenched.
In an instant, the air within a radius of several kilometers seemed to be compressed and then released in a flash.
Snapped--! !
The space in the distance collapsed.
Through the live broadcast, people throughout the Tokyo area noticed the most obvious changes.
Through the lens of reporters, people looked at the location of the giant stone monument that should have been there in the distance—now there is nothing there!
There were no ruins, no smoke, and no wreckage.
Only the sky hung there, empty, as if the high wall had never existed.
The Holy Emperor stared blankly in that direction, his lips trembling.
"You...you...took it?"
Baili slowly withdrew his hand and said calmly.
"What does this mean now?"
While Baili was asking the question—
Among the group of reporters not far away, some slumped to the ground, some covered their mouths and dared not make a sound, and some had already begun to run away.
Because they knew very well that once the megaliths disappeared, the mass extinction that had occurred would be repeated!
It's likely that less than 10% of the people who survived in the Tokyo area will be alive!
Faced with such a bizarre change, Elder Matsuzaki collapsed to the ground.
The girls who witnessed the whole thing weren't so panicked.
They believe in their own god!
The Holy Emperor stood there, her eyes wide and her face pale, but she quickly calmed down, slowly knelt down, and bowed her head to Baili.
"Are you... here to destroy us?"
Baili spoke calmly
"I am not a demon, and I have no intention of destroying this world."
"So...you mean...?"
"Now you should have the right to contact presidents in other regions, shouldn't you?"
"certainly……"
The Holy Emperor stood up and looked behind him.
Upon seeing this, Baili lifted the suppression on the soldiers, facilitators, and initiators on the scene.
After standing up, the people who were no longer lying on the ground dared not make any rash moves.
Only one person ran up to the Holy Emperor with a computer used for communication.
"Your Majesty, we have successfully contacted the other four presidents through a special channel!!"
The Holy Emperor nodded and tapped to confirm the case.
Then——
The video communication channel was officially launched.
It directly connects to the presidential conference rooms in four areas: Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, and Hakata.
0 . . . . . . . .
The four presidents were still staring in astonishment at the scene they had just witnessed, when they heard Baili's voice.
"Now you have two choices: submit, or disappear."
In the scene, Osaka President Saimu Genzong suddenly stood up and roared.
Who are you? How dare you threaten us?!
Baili remembered that Qi Wuxuanzong was the mastermind behind the assassination order against the Holy Emperor.
Then kill him.
Thinking this, Baili smiled and casually waved his hand.
A giant stone monument in the Osaka area was suddenly swallowed by the void!
What?! You...!
In the footage, Emperor Xuanzong of Qi appears terrified.
"This is your first lesson."
Baili said calmly
"I'm not here to negotiate, I'm here to rule."
The President of Sendai looked ashen-faced
How did you do that? Such a colossal monument was described so casually...
Baili didn't explain, but simply asked a question.
"What is your choice? You have three seconds left. Next time, it will be more than half of the megaliths."
After these words were spoken, none of the presidents of the four regions dared to speak again.
President Sai Mugenzong of Osaka, having lost his previous arrogance, looked like a deflated balloon and said in a low voice...
We... obey.
The President of Sendai nodded
Please tell us how to cooperate.
The presidents of Sapporo and Hakata also successively expressed their submission.
The Holy Emperor rose and saw this
"I... the president of the Tokyo area, am willing to follow all of Lord Hyakuri's arrangements, so... could you please bring that giant stone monument back? Without the barrier it forms, Gastrea will break into the city and wreak havoc. I hope to avoid that situation! Please, Lord Hyakuri!"
The Holy Emperor began his request.
Baili nodded in satisfaction.
"very good."
