The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 479 Control The World
Although our talk ended up being that long and it resulted in me promising to visit the two women's rooms for that purpose, the reason for our arrival in this place, an EDA Headquarters located in China, was still achieved in the end.
The officer-in-charge who we're waiting for showed up around 10 minutes later.
The man who appeared to be someone in his fifties saluted and bowed in apology for showing up late. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
He didn't give an excuse for his showing up late and instead, he asked me for disciplinary action to be done to him.
He's a Rank 5 Mortal who already reached the threshold. And this means he's about to become a Transcendent soon.
I wasn't part of the EDA so I refused to do what he wanted. There's no point and I find my time precious enough to not be held off by that.
Waving off that disciplinary action, I asked him for the result of what I had them do a few days ago.
Apart from keeping the order for every country which is a part of their original duty, I also had them gather the data about the rate of adapters in each country.
Even if I said that I didn't care about normal Earthlings, I still have to take some measures so that… Transcendents began showing up as soon as possible.
If I was only thinking about the Level 2 Invasive Worlds, now there's also the Overworld Serpent that's lurking behind them. These invaders would just continue sending their invading troops as their worlds slowly advanced towards us.
Before leaving this world, I thought of establishing something for the Earth. My mother will continue living here. Even if my father will definitely protect her from harm, I can't be complacent when we're still this weak.
The pieces of lost technologies that will be unearthed in the lost cities aren't enough. With a population of 7 billion… even if only a small part of the population of the world reached Transcendence… That's a military might that will contribute to the restoration of this Sage World. Moreover, it will also contribute to my own progress…
At this point, the World Assimilation is my other trump card apart from my Energy Control.
The shortcut to Divine Stage.
Apart from my Companions and those Supported by me, even the worlds connected to me will continue progressing through me. And if these worlds also achieved progress on their own, it will also provide me with some benefits. It's like I am in a give and take relationship with them.
That's why… before leaving this world to travel, I will leave behind a seed that will propagate this world. In due time, it will become trees that will support us from behind.
"Here's the list. The change was abrupt and it created confusion to the general populace. The countries with the highest rate of adapters are those with a strong government. Japan is… lagging behind."
The officer-in-charge handed me a bundle of reports concerning the thing I had them do with the summary at the top.
After skimming through it and understanding the data they gathered, I passed it to Leianne and Fleur.
Naturally, I ignored the mention of our country of origin. Countries don't really matter now. What's most important is the data of seeing how many Earthlings have begun treading on the Earth's Mortal Pathway.
"Daisuke. Although the data showed a low percentage of adapters, the population of this world is abundant… That's enough for what you're planning to do. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
Leianne commented after she's done looking at it.
And following her, Fleur also gave her opinion.
"I agree. The Elementals are being trained as soon as they begin absorbing Elemental Energy. In this world, even if they're late. The quality of Energy could offset the long time they needed. But… they're all living in a world without energy for so long. Even if they become aware, it's hard for most of the populace to adapt. There needs to be something that can help them."
Looking at it from the objective point of view, their opinions coincided with what I had in mind.
Most of my Companions were bright enough to lead their world to a revolution so no matter who I brought here with me, they would be able to see what I was aiming for.
"By the way General… May I ask your name?"
Because he's hearing some terms that were probably still foreign to him, the officer-in-charge had a confused look on his face. However, as soon as he heard my voice, he straightened his and saluted again.
"Ah. I apologize for this misconduct. Sir! I'm General Yamada Yakumo! Awaiting your order!"
"Drop that military discipline when in front of me. I'd rather talk to you in a normal way. Also, there's no need to be tense. What I want to ask is… when will you control every government? It's time to take over. The incident earlier was an example. Your troops were unnecessarily occupied by the media and the countries' military."
"That's true… However, we haven't received the order yet."
"Then… You're here to receive my order, right?"
"Affirmative!"
"You don't need to cripple every government but make sure that every sector will now be controlled by you. At this point. We don't need petty world wars. We're going to change the world and lead it to a new era."
Meddling by the countries should be stopped. And to stop them from fighting for their own interest… Taking control of them was the only solution.
We have the people and we have the strength. The situation here isn't the same as those in the webtoons where the main character was already stronger than the whole world but he's still trying to cater to those 'superpower nations'.
"Roger that! I will personally see to it that it is done by tonight."
"Great. About the captives. We'll have a use for them soon. Make sure nothing goes wrong. At this point, only we can deal with them. Think about the casualties if you become careless. Tomorrow, gather every high-ranking official of the EDA here. I'll make some announcements."
After giving those orders, the General of EDA Yamada Yakumo left in a hurry.
The authority of the world will soon be centralized. The next step will be… the nurturing of the population.
