"So, what's your next step, Shao Mi?" Padae asked after we returned to her residence.
They referred to it as a palace, though it was rather humble and compact, not quite the grandeur of a true palace I usually see in ani.
"I'm not sure. Earth is in turmoil right now. As much as I hated all the United Power mbers for betraying , they did manage to maintain order in Earth," Shao Mi remarked.
Even amidst all the mistreatnt she had endured, she still managed to express such impartiality.
And she was correct about certain things.
The United Power, along with Cerebrum, did indeed manage to maintain stability. Currently, they stood as the primary support for billions of humans on Earth.
If she were to return and accuse them, she would find herself on the receiving end.
When humans are faced with a choice between her, a lone individual, and those who are currently safeguarding the world, the answer would be obvious .
With my power, I could single handedly kill the current leaders, but that would only paint us as the villains.
Of course, there's also the option where I destroy all the portals and eliminate all the beasts.
However, after doing so, another form of chaos would ensue – this ti, an internal conflict.
Nothing was hindering the Gifteds now because humans had already accepted them.
So, if I were to quickly end this world-ending scenario, those with power would inevitably seek to disrupt the balance again . Read the latest on empire
As much as I didn't care about humans, I still relied on them to provide with good content.
Just the thought of all the ani that wouldn't get adapted if World War III were to happen was enough to cause concern.
It would be wiser to maintain a common enemy and bolster Japan's defenses to protect my natural treasures.
While at it, I should visit all my favorite mangaka and reverse their aging, granting them perfect health and bodies.
"You ntioned you're willing to assist us with the Alien beasts, correct?" Shao Mi interrupted my very important thoughts, fixing her gaze on , her beautiful eyes brimming with expectation.
' and my big mouth,' I sighed, realizing I had bragged so much just to get her attention.
But it was too late to back out now.
"Of course, however, destroying the portal would pose a problem," I responded, injecting a bit of deception into my words to make it sound more difficult to do.
"What's the problem?" she inquired.
"Well, first, those Portals has a lot of space related energy, so destroying them forcefully could create spatial disturbances that might lead to a calamity capable of destroying Earth," I explained, weaving so half-truths into my statents.
If soone other than destroy the portals, they would explode, creating a gravitational pull that could disrupt Earth's own gravity.
This disruption would lead to volcanoes erupting and tectonic plates going out of control.
But for , who was able to freely control space, it would be a piece of cake to close it if I wanted to.
That's the keyword, 'If I wanted to.'
"And also, I don't really want to work with the United Power. I plan to just destroy them if they don't submit to us," I declared, curious to see her reaction.
Both of them were stunned by my bold statent.
The United Power consisted of the most powerful families in the world.
It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that they controlled 80% of the total firepower on Earth, not including nuclear bombs, if my information was correct.
Shao Mi hesitated briefly before speaking again.
"Do you intend to conquer the entire planet?" she inquired, her serious eyes hinting that she had already pieced together so clues.
To be honest, I really had no desire to conquer Earth; it would be far too much of a hassle.
It would be more accurate to say that I intended for the Magic Academy to serve as a symbol, one that would effectively keep everyone in line.
If I introduced the academy and built its reputation as having the power to crush anyone, then I wouldn't have to worry about other people being too greedy and causing trouble anymore.
But for now, I'll play along with her guess, as it was not really far from the truth.
"That's right, I plan to conquer the whole planet. It's not a bad deal considering that I'm also saving it," I replied confidently.
"That's ridiculous. I'm pretty sure we can find ways to save it ourselves," Padae exclaid as she stood up, unable to bear it any longer.
I raised my eyebrows and chuckled at her claim.
I had a general idea of what was happening and knew that the area affected by the Alien beasts was expanding by the second.
No matter how much they tried, the fact that the portals were spawning more and more Alien beast ant that Earth was dood to be destroyed without my help.
"Earth would be destroyed in no ti without our help. I hate to insult Eartlings, but the powers here is too backward," I chuckled, driving ho my point.
Shao Mi's eyebrows twitched after hearing my confirmation. I could tell from her face that she was not a fan of the idea.
And I couldn't really bla her. I'm insulting all the powerhouses on Earth and talking about world domination here.
It would be much weirder if she happily agreed with .
"At least tell what you plan to do with the human race?" she asked, intending to make a decision after hearing out.
"Don't worry, I won't harm humans. I'm actually a peace-loving person. In fact, I plan to give humans access to mana and teach them magic," I responded.
"You will?" Shao Mi exclaid, unable to believe that I would readily hand over sothing so rare and powerful in her eyes.
Little did she know that the knowledge I planned to give away was really nothing to .
The importance of Mana and Magic for was akin to an elentary project, I could create hundreds of variation much powerful than it.
I had intended to tease her further, enjoying the expression on her face, but I was suddenly interrupted by a ntal ssage from one of my androids.
'You found the location of the Zol Clan?'
