World collision, an extrely rare natural phenonon. Even in the conquest records of the Wizard, such natural phenona are scant and rare.
The cause of this natural phenonon has not yet been determined, and its specific situation is manifested as two space coordinates in the Star Realm that are far apart yet have a temporal and spatial connection. The energy and matter of the two worlds can enter each other’s world through a space rift.
The Wizard’s teleportation gate is a byproduct of the study of this phenonon.
In the accounts of Ankolina and Anderson, the invasion catastrophe of this world fits very well with the records of world collision. However, their descriptions are extrely exaggerated.
If what they say is true, then this world has been invaded by diverse creatures like the Four Elents Lords, Flesh Demons akin to calamity Big Snakes, swarms of worm seas, and undead of World Lord Level.
Honestly, if Ankarena and Anderson weren’t so serious when they spoke, without any joking manner, Richard would have thought they were joking with him.
These creatures cannot appear in the sa, let alone two or three worlds. The Four Elents Lords only appear in the Elental Territory and the imbalanced world of the Four Elents, and the World Lord Level undead creatures only appear in worlds with special Death Rules; the World Lord Level Flesh Demon might appear in an imbalanced world, but the Big Snake Richard saw didn’t seem to be a product of an Imbalanced World, and those worm seas...
Even with the minimum number estimation, this world collided with four completely different Four Elents worlds, and one of them must have a world with extrely special Death Rules, allowing for the birth of World Lord Level undead creatures. Or perhaps so world has undergone a world-level catastrophe, with more than half of the world’s life perishing.
"Have you seen a situation like ours?" Anderson asked.
From his appearance, Anderson looked like a sowhat robust middle-aged man. But in Richard’s perception, this middle-aged man had an energy intensity not inferior to Ankarena—he was also a Level 3 Creature. During his first eting with Richard, he behaved exceptionally calm. After inquiring about Ankarena’s battlefield situation, he imdiately entrusted the disaster relief work of the base to his secretary and personally guided Richard to this basent hidden underground.
"I’m not quite sure," Richard slightly shook his head, "The enemies you described are too exaggerated, their scope far exceeds what I’ve seen in records. I can only say that the phenonon in your world is likely a world collision. But what it specifically is, I cannot determine right now."
After hearing Richard’s response, Anderson calmly nodded, then said to Ankarena beside him: "Agent K, I need to step out for a mont, during this ti you communicate with these two... I’ll grant you Third-Level information transfer rights."
Ankarena stood up smartly and responded: "Yes."
Anderson nodded slightly, bowed slightly to Richard, and then left the basent. The mont he exited, his body suddenly softened, leaning against the wall.
Even though Richard and Ulysses had completely restrained their pressure, the higher the level of the creature, the more keen their perception, especially those who took the path of Physique Evolution. Even without pressure, Anderson felt a predatory aura from Richard and Ulysses.
It felt like putting a child and a hungry tiger in the sa room.
Anderson shakily took out a pack of candy-like things from an inner pocket, then poured two into his mouth. As a refreshing sensation spread from his mouth to his brain, Anderson finally gathered himself.
"This information must be reported to the Director imdiately."
...
In the room, Richard chatted with Ankarena while using his spiritual power to observe Anderson’s every move.
The room he was in seed ordinary, but both the walls and the door were mixed with a material that could isolate spiritual power and energy waves. According to Ankarena, this material was called lanthanum tal.
However, this isolation was for ordinary people. For soone like Richard, a World Master, this material could only reduce his exploration range and couldn’t really restrict him.
"Ankarena, you’ve said so much, but it seems you haven’t introduced what exactly the ’Control Bureau’ is."
After hearing that Andre wanted to report the news to the Director, Richard asked Ankarena before him. In response to Richard’s inquiry, Ankarena paused, seemingly organizing her words.
Richard raised an eyebrow: "Is the function of the Control Bureau very complicated?"
"...Very complicated."
Ankarena organized her words for a long ti, then spoke in an uncertain tone: "You can understand the Control Bureau as a hidden organization, an Invasion Processing Bureau hidden in the dark."
"Invasion in the dark?" Richard asked with interest, "What does that an? Are there invasions that cannot be made public?"
"...Do you rember the Great Cataclysm that Assistant Anderson ntioned just now?"
Richard leaned back and nodded slightly.
The Great Cataclysm was a horrific disaster that took place thousands of years ago in this world. A dozen calamity beasts from Otherworld almost turned this world upside down. In this disaster, the creatures Richard called "Four-Eyed People" faced over eighty percent death, leading to a major historical gap in their history.
"The historical gap brought by the Great Cataclysm covered up many things. So in the invasion calm period after the Great Cataclysm, the society we rebuilt developed a false sense of security."
Ankarena felt her words were sowhat abstract, so she began to gesture.
"Our civilians think we live on a safe plain, but in reality," Ankarena held her fingertips together and placed them underneath her palm acting as the plain, "we live on a volcano crater, and a catastrophe could destroy us again at any mont."
"So to maintain social stability, you’re responsible for sustaining this false sense of security?" Richard spoke up, "But from the current situation, it seems you’re not very effective. Isn’t the invasion disaster enough to wake the people up?"
Ankarena withdrew her hand and nodded slightly, saying, "You’re very right, the false security created by the Control Bureau is indeed about to disappear. But you’ve overlooked one thing, invasions weren’t always frequent. It’s only been in the last two hundred years that invasion disasters beca frequent. Before that, invasions were extrely rare, and we had ample resources to cover it up."
"Alright, I roughly understand what kind of organization you are." Richard remarked, his expression sowhat peculiar.
Indeed, the world is vast and full of wonders. The strange tales he once read in his previous life have amazingly reappeared in this Otherworld.
After inquiring about so intelligence concerning this world, Richard began to ponder a conquest plan for it.
Based on the current intelligence, the main race of this world, the Four-eyed beings, is a high-quality indigenous race. Years of invasion disasters have toughened the nerves of this world’s people and made them quite combat-capable.
They generally handle otherworldly creature invasions in three steps: first, dispatching an Invasion Task Force. Most invasions stop at this stage. If the Task Force can’t handle it, the Invasion Army will be deployed. These army’s basic soldiers are First-Level creatures, coordinated precisely and equipped with plenty of heavy weaponry.
If even the Invasion Army can’t resolve the invasion, like the World Lord Level Big Snake that Richard sealed, the ultimate weapon, the World Master, is required.
In fact, even if Richard hadn’t appeared, that Big Snake at most would have destroyed the city and killed a few hundred thousand people. The native World Master cannot defeat a peer-level World Guardian.
"Alas, if only this world were like the Immortal Country, where the ruling class didn’t care for the people," Richard sighed inwardly.
Although this world also has a transcendent ruling class, due to the invasions, the rulers here genuinely need to fight on the front lines. Moreover, this world possesses technology similar to goblin industry, and the Four-eyed beings have a technology known as Source Energy. Although this technology falls far short compared to the Wizard’s alchemy, it at least ensures most of its people don’t starve.
This ans that the missionary thod of altering lifestyle through industry doesn’t apply in this world.
But if lifestyle changes aren’t the expression, how would he make the beings of this world accept him as a foreign Divine?
Surely, he couldn’t just use a religious canon to fool them.
As Richard mused over this, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and stood up. His movent startled Ankarena across from him, causing her to quickly stand up and ask, "You want to..."
Realizing that Richard wasn’t an ordinary person, Ankarena stopped halfway through her questioning. Her mouth half-open, she finally managed to utter:
"Where are you going? To the bathroom?"
"Of course not." Richard looked at the seemingly aloof Four-eyed person in front of him as if she were a fool, "Did you know your base is under attack?"
"... Huh?"
...
Outside L-1 base, a large number of fully ard soldiers, without any insignia on them, rapidly approached the base.
They held Source Energy Assault Rifles completely different from those of the Task Force, and their bulletproof vests were fitted with lanthanum alloy plates. Without a doubt, this was a well-planned attack.
In the middle of these soldiers, a Four-eyed being dressed in stark contrast to the military personnel was holding a Portable Communicator, reporting to his leader.
"Sir, the operation is going smoothly, and we have reached the periter of the Control Bureau."
"Zzzz... So smoothly? The Snake King didn’t obstruct you?"
"Sir, it’s strange to say, but we haven’t encountered the Snake King along the way. It seems the Snake King has returned."
"Zzzz... What! Returned? Impossible! Withdraw quickly..."
Before the person on the other end could finish speaking, he heard a sentence in a language he had never heard before.
"May I ask, can you tell what organization you belong to?"
