Online Game: Starting With SSS-Ranked Summons-Chapter 386: Aether’s power

Dubois’s eyes widened. "You’re talking about deploying your summons to protect our nations?"

"Exactly. Formicia, Sylvaris, Aamon, a Frost Wyvern, Flame Salamander, and several true demons I’ve recently acquired. Those demons under me are completely loyal; you don’t have to worry about that. I tamed them personally."

’Tamed them personally.’

They shuddered as they replayed the phrase in their mind. How could someone possibly tame demons, superior rank at that?

Superior and epic-rank protection.

The world leaders exchanged glances through their screens, political calculations racing behind diplomatic masks.

Hassan leaned forward eagerly. "What would you require in return?"

Smart question. Everything has a price.

"For now? I don’t want anything but your safety and absolute secrecy regarding my capabilities and methods. We can talk about logistics later, and I’m sure we will reach an agreement."

Arthur wasn’t stupid to voice out small requests now. There was simply nothing they could help him with now. They would only be able to help him once the crisis across the globe has calmed down, and the new world order begins to establish.

Information control. The most Essential part for maintaining advantages against enemies.

China’s president nodded slowly. "Acceptable terms. When can protection be deployed?"

"Immediately. I need coordinates for your most critical defence installations."

Strike while desperation runs high.

The response was instantaneous. Each leader began transmitting classified military positions—presidential bunkers, command centres, strategic defence locations that represented their nations’ vital organs.

Trust through necessity. The best kind.

President Dubois transmitted first. "Élysée Palace bunker complex. Coordinates attached."

Fitzgerald followed. "Ottawa Command Center. Maximum security clearance required."

Hassan’s coordinates carried additional urgency. "Jerusalem’s primary defense installation. Under immediate threat."

Feng’s transmission was the most comprehensive. "Beijing’s Central Military Commission. Strategic coordination hub."

Complete access to their most sensitive locations.

Arthur studied the incoming data with satisfaction. These coordinates represented unprecedented trust from sovereign nations.

Or complete desperation. Either works.

"Transport could be problematic," Fitzgerald voiced the obvious concern. "Even with your abilities, reaching multiple continents before attacks escalate..."

Good point. Distance remains an issue even for me.

Arthur’s spatial manipulation had limitations due to the experiment he had done. Even constant short-range teleportations of forty kilometres wouldn’t suffice in time.

I need a better solution...

That’s when Aetherion’s small voice piped up from his shoulder perch.

"I can take them, Master! I just need to know direction and distance!"

Of course. Why didn’t I think of that?

The conference room fell into stunned silence as the cute, childlike voice claimed capability for transportation.

The world leaders fell silent as they tried to process a talking dragon.

Feng’s composure cracked slightly. "Did... did your dragon just speak?"

"Yes, he can speak, and his name is Aetherion."

Arthur’s words confirmed that they weren’t hallucinating from all the crazy things happening all over the world.

"Aetherion possesses spatial manipulation abilities similar to mine," Arthur explained calmly.

Dubois stared at the small dragon with obvious disbelief. "That little creature can travel between continents?

Aetherion puffed up with pride. "I’m very good at teleporting! I can go anywhere if I know where it is!"

Hassan’s military mind focused on practical applications. "How quickly can deployment be achieved?" freewebnoveℓ.com

"Seconds," Arthur replied.

The world leaders exchanged rapid glances.

"Begin with China," Arthur decided.

"Aetherion, take Sylvaris to President Feng’s coordinates."

Demonstration first. Proof builds trust.

Aetherion chirped happily. "Okay, Master! This will be fun!"

The small dragon launched from Arthur’s shoulder and landed on Sylvaris’s head.

"Ready, Master!" Aetherion called cheerfully.

Arthur transmitted Feng’s coordinates directly to his summons’ consciousness. "Beijing Central Military Commission. Secure arrival. The coordinates are..."

Precise targeting. No margin for error.

"Got it!"

Reality tore open around Aetherion as spatial manipulation activated on a intercontinental scale. The familiar sensation of dimensional travel engulfed both creatures.

WHOOSH!

They vanished completely, leaving only displaced air and the lingering scent of ozone.

Gone. Just like that.

The conference room monitors displayed world leaders staring at their screens with obvious amazement.

China’s camera suddenly shook as something massive materialised behind him.

Perfect timing.

"Hi!" Aetherion’s cheerful voice echoed through the Beijing bunker’s speakers.

"Delivery complete! Sylvaris says hello!"

Feng spun in his chair, finding a void dragon and a superior-rank serpent occupying his secure command centre.

His security personnel reached for weapons before Feng stopped them immediately with a loud rebuke.

"HAVE YOU GONE MAD! LOWER YOUR WEAPONS NOW!"

The guards didn’t need to be told twice, immediately lowering their weapons.

They had merely raised it out of instinct, after realising the aura and sheer power coming from the two summons, they knew that attacking would sign their death warrant.

"Incredible," Feng breathed, his composure completely shattered.

Sylvaris hissed politely, his predatory grace filling the command centre.

"Sylvaris will coordinate with your military commanders," Arthur’s voice carried through the communication system. "He’s intelligent, tactical, and absolutely lethal against demonic entities."

Arthur’s voice suddenly changed, becoming more serious.

"I would like to make a clear and final reminder: any form of discrimination, disrespect, or hostility directed toward my summons will not be tolerated.

He is his own being, capable of responding in whatever manner he deems appropriate—and I will not restrain his actions should he be provoked.Furthermore, any such incident will result in the immediate termination of our treaty and all cooperative efforts.

To be clear, I do not hold an entire nation accountable for the recklessness of a single individual. However, I urge you to be mindful—carelessness, even from one person, can unravel everything.

Treat him with the same respect and dignity you would offer me. This is not a threat, but a standard. One I expect to be upheld."

The consequences of Arthur’s words settled across the international conference like a judge’s gavel. Every world leader felt the shift in atmosphere as protection transformed into an ultimatum.

Clear boundaries. Respected allies or nothing.

President Feng nodded gravely. "Understood completely. Sylvaris will be treated with the highest honors befitting his station."

The serpent’s massive head inclined slightly in acknowledgement, intelligence gleaming in predatory eyes.

Aetherion appeared back in Arthur’s conference room through another spatial tear, his cheerful demeanor unchanged by intercontinental travel.

"That was easy! Where next, Master?"
