In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"But you need to understand the problems that Red Maple Territory is facing right now."

With a wave of his hands, Liszt created a vivid mind map in front of everyone, with an oval representing Red Maple Ridge drawn in the center.

"Today, Red Maple Territory has many problems to solve, which can be basically summarized into three types: external threats, development, and internal troubles."

The mind map began to grow, dividing into three main categories, which caught the attention of Lena and the others.

That way you'll understand!

"External threats are currently a danger lurking in the Kingdom of Rennes, and possibly even the Empire, but because this danger is not directly aimed at us, it is a low priority to deal with."

"Development involves various miscellaneous matters that Red Maple Territory encounters in its efforts to expand its territory and increase its population, such as production and education issues. These are of medium priority."

"The internal problem is the influence of the otherworldly beings on our Red Maple Territory. This is the highest priority to address."

"The people from other worlds are very dangerous, but they also possess immeasurable treasures that will allow our territory to develop at an unprecedented pace."

Lena and the others nodded vigorously. Although they didn't know how they had suddenly soared into the sky, they were certain that what Lord Lister said was correct.

At this point, Cortini asked a question at the opportune moment, demonstrating her professionalism.

"My lord, is the solution to our internal problems the 'Otherworld Management Act'?"

"Yes! It's only a draft at the moment."

Lister swipes his right hand, and another mind map flies to everyone's front, displaying the names of Madara, Aizen, and Yuri, while Muzan is relegated to a corner.

"You could say that each of them represents a world, and each world has the knowledge, resources, and talent I want."

"That's why I named this draft the 'Otherworld Management Act'."

At this moment, Liszt waved his hand, and his own name appeared in the middle of the mind map. The circle representing him was also connected with the other circles, and a two-way arrow appeared between Splatter and Indigo.

"Kortini, what do you think I should do to maintain the stability, or rather, the order, of this diagram?"

Kotini lowered her head, her mind racing.

These people are all independent, and there are both conflicts and connections of interest among them. The most important one is Lord Lister.

With the aid of the world's rules, Lord Lister is a natural mediator and manager; these two roles are enough for him to profit from numerous relationships.

But there's a problem: the number of people from other worlds is far greater than we imagine.

Countless circles surround Lord Lister; if every relationship had to be mediated by Lord Lister, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

No one could possibly have that kind of energy.

correct!

"My lord, you want to create a miniature federal state that will encompass all otherworldly beings within the order of the 'Otherworld Management Act'."

"We need to make the people from the other world both entangled and cooperative."

"Our Red Maple Territory absorbs nourishment from the other world during this process, rapidly grows stronger, and finally resists external threats!"

A flush rose on Kotini's face.

"As long as we grasp the most crucial 'Otherworld Management Act,' manage the otherworlders well, and gain their help, the development and external threats facing our Red Maple Territory can be resolved!"

Lister smiled and applauded. With his guidance and a year of work experience, Cortini was already a qualified manager.

Grasping the principal contradiction is a fundamental quality of a manager.

"It's more like a parliament than a miniature federal state."

"It wasn't appropriate to bring this up when it was just Madara and Aizen, but now that Yuri has joined, the council has a chance of being established."

"If the rules are established when there are few people, we can rely on the overall power of the council to make the people from other worlds accept our rule in the future."

"Relying solely on world rules is not enough."

Lister revealed his reasons for wanting to establish the Otherworld Council.

The mandatory rules of the system alone cannot truly bring order to Red Maple Territory.

Only rules that take into account the interests of all parties can last and be followed spontaneously.

The system rules are the bottom line, and the Otherworld Council he has established will be the key to leading everyone to a glorious future!

At this moment, Elsa felt uneasy.

"Master, how do you establish a council? They are not easy to get along with."

Lister smiled slightly, then waved his hand.

A sentence appeared before everyone.

[Connect with them through shared interests, bind them with order, strengthen them with affection, and promise them a future—in this way, unite the power of everyone!]

“Madara Uchiha longed for peace in the ninja world, so I took the initiative to discuss methods with him and guided him step by step. When he began to put my proposed plan into practice, he would inevitably need my help.”

“Aizen Sousuke wanted to change Soul Society, but he still had other needs. He longed to understand his enemies or friends, and he longed to have opponents who could stand on equal footing with him. That’s why I tried to say things like ‘admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding’ to resonate with him.”

“Yuri pursued his ideals. He studied his own mental energy and even created Libra, the strongest superpowered being, based on the mental energy of many superpowered individuals. I am confident that I can enhance his superpower technology.”

"Muzan Kibutsuji's desires are even more obvious. He simply wants to obtain the Blue Spider Lily and become a demon king who is not afraid of sunlight. I have information about the Blue Spider Lily and can easily control him."

"As long as they can profit from establishing a parliament, even if I can't meet Aizen's demands, he won't refuse if everyone else agrees."

"Once the council is established, the problem of the conflict and difficulty in managing the people of the other world will be greatly alleviated. I can also maximize my benefits by taking advantage of my position as the administrator. If all goes well, I can even integrate the resources of their world and allow us to communicate with the other world to a certain extent!"

Kotini and the others all saw Lister's slightly trembling pupils and hands.

Those sky-blue eyes couldn't hide their excitement.

Of course, how could he not be excited?

He's about to face off against some of the most formidable people in the world!

In Liszt's eyes, the chessboard had already appeared before him, and three figures had appeared opposite him.

He had never imagined that he would have any dealings with them, let alone scheme against them.

Now... he wants to enjoy the process of playing against them!

He's about to make his move!

Let's take this opportunity to make you truly see me for who I am!

Face me, Liszt Eller!

Chapter 36 The First Step Towards Greatness

"grown ups?"

Liszt awoke from his reverie.

"Cough cough cough."

"It's alright. Now you understand why I established a council and implemented the 'Otherworld Management Act'."

The Otherworld Council, or perhaps the Multiverse Round Table Council... In Lister's vision, the council is both a platform for communication among people from other worlds and a chain that restrains each other.

Being able to draft and pass this bill from the beginning will allow for a systematic response when more people from other worlds arrive.

Furthermore, with Madara and Aizen, two beings with overwhelming combat power, in charge, the territory would be even more stable.

Anything that a system cannot regulate or restrict can be achieved through a parliament, and even cross-world transactions can be facilitated by a parliament.

As the most crucial figure in parliament, he is bound to reap enormous benefits!

Then he quickly digests the benefits he gains into resources and strength, forming a virtuous cycle.

Once the cycle is completed, the development of the territory and unknown external threats will no longer be a problem.

Of course, if he can't even take the first step, then his idea is just wishful thinking.

Kotini, Lena, and the others have understood Lister's recent plans and his response to the otherworldly beings through mind mapping and Lister's passionate speech.

Red Maple will become the hub of all realms in the future, absorbing nourishment while balancing other worlds.

The first great step begins now! It starts with small beginnings!

"Cortini, from now on I will focus most of my energy on pushing forward the preparations for the establishment of the council, and many affairs of the territory will probably be decided by you."

Cortini answered seriously.

"I will handle everything well!"

"Well, I believe you."

"Now let's talk about enhancing the cultural heritage of Red Maple."

Lister placed one hand on the hilt of the Royal Sword, staring directly at the ten men in front of him.

"Would you be willing to exchange your soul with me?"

"One of the abilities of my Zanpakuto, [Royal Power], is called [Royal Army Force], which allows me to temporarily grant others experience and power."

"But this benefit can become permanent, provided that soul fragments are exchanged and life is linked."

"I can acquire all the experience you gain from your training after you finish, and then I can transfer that experience to others."

"I can currently separate exactly ten soul fragments."

This is a good thing!

Aside from not knowing what the consequences of separating soul fragments would be, gaining Lister's experience means they can quickly become stronger.

Even someone like Cortini, who has absolutely no fighting ability, is now able to protect herself to some extent.

Most importantly, the combined experience of eleven people means that each of them can become a polymath!

If given a choice, Lister would certainly prefer to exchange soul fragments with Madara and the others, but that's impossible; the prerequisite for exchanging soul fragments is complete mutual trust.

Differences in opinion inevitably lead to a lack of complete trust.

"Master, we are willing to offer our souls."

...His words made it sound like he was some kind of evil spirit.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lister no longer hesitated and used the power of [Royal Authority] to split off ten soul fragments and enter the bodies of Cortini and the other ten people. At the same time, each of them also separated a soul fragment and merged it into Lister's body.

"The ceremony is over."

"You must remember that the experience of others must be digested before it becomes your own, so don't be complacent."
