Before he did anything, William ran away from the city gates and dug a deep hole underground, hoping in vain to avoid the senses of anyone much more powerful than him. He asked Atticus to guard him once more, then used his Mana to descend into Reius.
Descending into the World was much more taxing than simply moving things around with his intent. It cost an incredible amount of Mana, nearly emptying William's Mana Reserves of now almost 32 million at a visible pace.
His main body was sitting completely still with absolutely no change to his stance, but sothing about the light in his eyes had changed, as if he was devoid of all emotion. At the sa ti, a double of him condensed in the Mortal Realms, promptly using the Seal Elent to heavily restrict himself.
His Mana Reserves started filling up again at a slow rate, indicating that his Descent was complete.
William looked up to the sky, where a few dozen missiles could be seen from his current position. With a flick of his finger and a bit of Wind Magic, William sent the missiles high into the sky, then forcefully detonated them and used his Magic to conceal the blast.
Compared to a Cultivator, nuclear devices were nothing much. Even soone in the Nascent Soul Realm could handle a nuke by themselves.
He teleported to other sections of the World, destroying the nuclear missiles one group at a ti until they were completely gone. Imdiately following this, he returned to Shimr City, where he had once lived with his sister and adopted family.
"Will! What are you doing here?" Fria asked with surprise. She was completely kitted up in what appeared to be so sort of high-tech battle uniform in pure white, while a crossbow was slung over her shoulder, a viable weapon for an Ice Magic user.
She had heard just about everything from William regarding his sudden disappearance, so Fria was under the impression that he couldn't return to Reius no matter what.
That said, the truth was right in front of her.
"It's a long story, but in short this World belongs to now and I have full control over it." William explained as if it was a simple matter.
His sister turned wide-eyed at William's response, but he didn't want to confuse her further by explaining the intricate functions of World Seeds and the like. Instead, he stuck to the situation at hand, "What happened here?"
Fria nodded and did her best to explain the course of the last few months, how Mana suddenly appeared in Reius like William had planned and it spurred the growth of Cultivation.
At the sa ti, Magical Beasts had beco a serious problem for the regular humans, and multiple cities were destroyed by sudden and rampant tides of stronger-than-usual animals. This was most common regions that housed the largest Beasts such as whales and elephants, but even simple areas ho only to wolves saw a massive increase in human casualties.
"After Cultivation and Magical Beasts beca known to the public, a lot of people that played Otherworld Pri thought that the governnt was hiding sothing and chose to start their own revolutions using the powers that Cultivation gave them. It was complete chaos, and nowhere is safe now." Fria finished with a sigh.
"What about that uniform? Did the governnt give it to you?"
Fria nodded, "They tried to threaten with our family, and I can't watch them all at once. It was better for to listen to them for now until I got stronger."
William clenched his fists, "Those assholes. I'll teach them to never ss with you again."
"Are you able to use your strength from the other World here?" Fria asked in surprise. Read new chapters at empire
It was William's turn to nod, "Every bit of it. Don't worry, I'll handle this."
"Don't kill anyone."
"I'll only kill the ones that deserve it." William replied as he teleported out of his family's ho. He didn't have ti to et with his adopted family again, and they probably still didn't rember him. It was better to keep his Karma separate from them lest he put his family in trouble.
"Who are y—" a guard at a maximum-security governnt building fell to the floor before he could finish his sentence. William walked up and placed his hand on the unconscious man's forehead, then used the Dream Stealer Talent to scan his consciousness for certain mories.
From standard security practices to guard rotations and even door codes, William learned everything in just a few minutes. The guard was left where he was, while William entered the building and expertly navigated a series of wide hallways until he reached a large conference room that was blocked by two sets of heavy steel doors.
These steel doors weren't the only security asure in place outside this room. Before opening each one, one needed to enter a door code and do a retina scan at the sa ti. William didn't have the proper access, and he couldn't scan soone else's retina right now, so he did the next best thing.
"Crash!" the first door was kicked off its hinges and clanged against the second, crumpled like a soda can in the place where William kicked it. An alarm sounded and the second door was reinforced on the other side by weak Earth Magic, but it was exactly that.
"So weak." William scoffed at the feeble attempt by likely a Qi Refinent Cultivator to block his entrance. With another simple kick of the sa strength, both the Earth Spell and doorway were destroyed in an instant, revealing a room mixed with obese and dium-build individuals that were pale as paper.
"Hi," William said with a smile, "You almost destroyed yourselves, do you know that?"
One of the n shook his head, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about that." William's smile turned cold as he called a hint of Fire Magic to his fingertips. "Answer my question or I'll go around the room with this."
"Ha! That fireball is tiny! How did you get in here with that?" one of the n shouted as he called his own Fire Mana, forming a fireball twice the size of William's in an instant.
It's a stupid one. Oh well, I guess he can go first.
"Didn't your mother tell you that size doesn't matter?" William sent a compressed bullet of fire through the man's head, piercing him through and through and causing his body to lifelessly fall to the floor.
-Killed a human of your own World: 5 PP, -1 Humanity
Damn it, this again. I guess I can't go crazy here. William cursed inwardly.
He released ten percent of his aura, waves of malice and killing intent forcing the remaining n in the room to the floor while so relieved themselves in their pants. When they beca accustod to William's aura a few minutes later, he suddenly doubled down and caused many to pass out.
Among those still conscious, William issued an order. "You will cooperate with the other nations to build a better society. You will focus on maintaining balance and preventing the Magical Beasts from overrunning the World, and you will not try to destroy yourselves at every possible turn.
Do these things, and you will be rewarded. Fail to do these things... and you'll see that my aura is not just for show."
William thought of sothing, "Also, leave my sister and family alone."
