Such recognition would have been a tremendous affirmation for the chubby director, an outsider.
Naturally, the chubby director felt warm inside, and he also saw his bright future beckoning him.
Having just taken office and been promoted to Color Rank Magician, he was immediately placed in command alongside Dr. Roman, overseeing operations across Chaldea's various departments. He not only successfully assisted Dr. Roman in leading Chaldea's forces to defeat hundreds of thousands of invaders from another world, but also secured these spoils of war. Furthermore, at Dr. Roman's urging, these spoils were directly transferred to the Clock Tower for trade, helping to establish a bridge of communication within the Clock Tower. He also replenished a large portion of the magical materials lost due to the Clock Tower's destruction by Rovi—truly remarkable achievements.
Even the attitudes of the monarchs and nobles of the demonic path who originally disliked him and were full of prejudice and contempt towards him underwent a dramatic change. Everyone went from dismissing and despising him to fawning over him. This made the fat director very happy, and he felt that he had made the right choice in coming here.
It's not just a leap in rank, but a super leap in level.
What clock tower monarch?
Is the position of deputy director, personally appointed by the Chaldean deity, as prestigious as his?
Even in the Age of Gods, he's still a high priest. If he continues like this, who knows, one day he might be promoted to an honorary rank based on his achievements, or even...
Is there a chance to reach the root cause?
However, just as he was indulging in his daydreams, Dr. Roman arrived with such shocking news.
This completely stumped him.
What does it mean that Chaldea is the root of all evil?
And what does "the shame of the universe" mean?
After experiencing the Waterloo of falling from heaven to hell a few days ago, and after trembling through the immense pressure of the vote.
He had to come here in person today because of his position; he was there to negotiate with Dr. Roman on behalf of humanity and the universe.
Sitting opposite them were Debit and two dark, unfathomable projections of unknown creatures.
According to Dr. Roman, it was a projection from a creature of the Dark Star.
They've come here to wait for Earth's response.
"Um... have you eaten? Would you like to try my cake?"
Inside the conference room.
Lo Wei did not appear. At this moment, only Dr. Roman and the fat director were normal humans. The people opposite, including Debit, were not Earth creatures.
Looking at the enigmatic bodies of those dark creatures and feeling the black mist and unknown energy emanating from them, the fat director, whose magical skills were not particularly high to begin with, felt that being with these guys was utter torture.
Although he really wanted to rush out the door right then and there, the fat director swallowed hard, thinking about his role representing humanity at this event, and tried to ease the tense atmosphere around him in his own way.
"..."
Seeing the strawberry cake being pushed towards him, Debit didn't pay much attention. He simply glanced at the cake and turned his head back to the closed door, waiting for the witness to arrive.
The other creatures from the Dark Star were naturally not interested in Earth's food; they were more concerned with the final outcome and thus remained silent.
Thus, the fat director's good intentions were completely ignored.
"No, you're not going to eat? Then I'll eat it myself..."
Seeing that he was being ignored, the fat director just gave an awkward smile, then weakly withdrew his hand and moved closer to Dr. Roman. He was really scared of this scene.
After all, someone as insignificant as him would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with such things before.
This is an alien.
They're aliens through and through.
He was genuinely afraid that his actions might offend the other party due to customs, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
Although the fat director's timid actions stemmed from consideration for Earth, Debit and the life form of the Dark Terminal were naturally in no mood to consider such meaningless matters as etiquette.
Their only concern is the decision concerning humanity and the future of the universe; they only want one answer.
Dr. Roman, sitting opposite him, remained silent throughout.
Clearly, he will have to wait until the last person appears before he can make humanity's final decision.
Time continued to pass, second by second.
The torment emanated from everyone's heart.
Finally, about ten minutes later...
The door outside was pushed open, and a tall, slender figure appeared in front of them against the light.
The time at this moment is exactly the seventh day, not a minute off.
They turned their heads and saw that Rowe, who had been missing for so long, had come looking for them again.
However, he looked slightly different at this moment.
One can infer something from the adoring expressions on the faces of Joan of Arc, Georgios, and others who followed him.
"Wow, my God... you're finally back!"
Upon seeing Lovi's appearance, the fat director, who had been extremely nervous due to his contact with these alien creatures, immediately stood up. His expression was like that of a child who had been lost for a long time finally finding his pillar of support, and he immediately became relaxed. He ran to Lovi to welcome this man who was now the greatest reliance of Chaldea and humanity.
"You, what is this...?"
When Roman noticed some unusual changes in Luo Wei, he hesitated to speak.
He was about to say something when Luo Wei raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Don't worry, Dr. Roman, I am still me. There haven't been any major changes so far, so you don't need to worry."
Luo Wei cut to the chase and asked them, "Instead of asking me, have you made a decision yet?"
"Yes, a decision has been made."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman nodded slightly. Then he and the fat director exchanged a glance, reached into his briefcase, took out the stack of decisions made by Chaldea and humanity, and personally handed it to Debit, which contained the final answers.
"——"
Debit, with a somewhat solemn expression, took the stack of documents and began to read them carefully.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the final decision: humanity would dismantle Chaldea, completely sever the connection between the alien planet and Earth, return cosmic energy to the universe, and end this cosmic crisis.
Even the reflections of the Dark Star beside him couldn't help but jump for joy when they saw this record.
After all, this is the best solution.
Rather than waging war, rather than personally destroying a planet, such selflessness triumphing over selfishness is the best answer.
However, after making this decision, Dr. Roman and the humans had to make one request: they hoped that Debit and the life forms of Dark Star could help keep this a secret.
Although Marisbury did indeed do something that harmed the universe, Marisbury is dead, and humanity is now doing its best to clean up the mess, even in the face of a predetermined fate.
Therefore, it is clear that humanity and Earth can no longer withstand threats from the universe.
Based on previous events, it is believed that in addition to life forms on the Dark Star, other intelligent life forms in the universe may also have been captured.
Therefore, Dr. Roman hopes that Debit, the life form from the Dark Star, and these beings with the ability to communicate across the universe and possess advanced intelligence, can help humanity convey this matter to those life forms in the universe who are unaware of the truth, convey humanity's apology, and prevent other invaders from continuing to interfere with Earth. The next step is for humanity to have a stable Earth for development.
This incident is Marisbury's fault in the eyes of the universe. Humanity was at fault first, but fortunately, things did not escalate to an irreversible point, so they hope that everything can end here.
If other planets continue their relentless pursuit and still want to destroy Earth, this vulnerable planet, to vent their anger, then we can only say sorry.
Although humans are not as powerful as most life forms in the universe, they are not pushovers either.
Maris Billy's plan still exists.
At that time, even if Earth and humanity perish, they will launch another counterattack against the universe, using all of humanity's power and resources to unconditionally curse the universe as a final counterattack.
This is the answer that the entire magical community has come up with. It can be described as a concession and a threat, so Dr. Roman hopes that everyone can consider it.
"..."
Hearing Dr. Roman's final pronouncement, Debit fell silent, and so did the creatures of Dark Star.
Multiple gazes were simultaneously observing the humans before them, making it impossible to discern their true thoughts.
The fat director, standing to the side, was so frightened that he shrank back behind Luo Wei, fearing that the negotiations would break down and a war would break out, resulting in his death as a nobody.
"Are you threatening the universe, Dr. Roman?"
After listening to Dr. Roman's request, Debit asked earnestly.
"Yes, although it sounds despicable, it is the best way now. Although the universe is more important, humanity is just as important to me. In order to safeguard human reason, this is humanity's last request."
Dr. Roman answered firmly.
"This is also a safeguard and struggle we have made in order to survive, and we hope you can understand."
"I understand, so the conclusion is..."
After a moment of contemplation, Debit and the phantom of the Dark Star behind him both nodded.
Then they stood up and conveyed the final result through Debit.
"We agree to this request."
They gave this answer.
They can help if humanity agrees to dismantle Chaldea and avoid continuing to curse the universe.
Debit dislikes fighting, and he also remembers his father's teachings to be a righteous person, which is why he resolutely plans to blow up the planet.
But now that the dispute can be ended in this way, why wouldn't he be happy to do so?
The same applies to life forms on the Dark Star.
In the universe, unless a race is particularly bloodthirsty, no one is willing to start a war, and few life forms enjoy pointless conflicts.
Especially with a higher-dimensional being standing on Earth, even this arrival is nothing more than a struggle for their future survival.
It's important to understand that there are administrators, Outer Gods, Ultra Indigenous beings (UOs), and the will of the universe in this universe. If one acts recklessly and excessively, it could very well lead to annihilation. Therefore, compared to instigating war, destroying the universe, and wiping out civilizations, Roman's request to convey a message and offer protection is not excessive.
And this is the answer I received.
Dr. Roman, who had been tense all along, finally showed a somewhat tired smile. He then reached out and shook hands with Debit, signaling the short-term end of this turmoil.
The life forms of the Dark Star do not like the convoluted rules of humanity, nor are they worried about humanity breaking them, because this time the witness is also an Outer God, Lovi.
Therefore, there is no option to sign a treaty.
After they simply expressed their thoughts to Luo Wei and received his affirmation, the life form from Dark Star left with complete peace of mind.
They were to keep their promise and send a message to other alien civilizations that were preparing to rush to Earth, to stop their attack on Earth.
Debit, on the other hand, is to stay here and oversee the destruction of Chaldea by humans, thus ending this farce.
"Phew, it's finally over..."
