No matter how to deal with such a major issue, it is not something that he, a god of technological defense, can decide on his own.
And once Li Zhong's power is confirmed, he really has the ability to destroy all life in the North Sea.
Things concerning him are not even something the Five Elders can decide.
Maybe I need to report it to...
After all, on the surface the Five Elders are the pinnacle of this world and the rulers of the world, but in reality, they are just powerful ministers who manage the sea for that adult.
This world belongs to that adult. If they fail to govern well and something as horrific as the extinction of life in the North Sea happens...
"......Ah!!" Thinking of this, Saint Satan, who had finally calmed down his anger, once again experienced a huge emotional fluctuation.
The magnificent castle with an ugly big hole in it collapsed with a loud bang amid the deep roar of Saint Satan, and turned into complete ruins!
The false god of war, impotent and furious.
Chapter 317 Pangu City's Attention
"How did it become like this?"
The God of Finance holding a long sword pushed up the round-frame glasses on his nose and frowned.
"Is it really possible to have such an outrageous ability to cross the vast ocean with one's thoughts and end the lives of others according to one's thoughts?" The blond farming god was still thinking about Li Zhong's ability.
After all, in the 800-year history of the World Government, no one has ever been heard of having similar abilities.
The environmental martial god with long white hair and beard had a calm expression. Now there was already some dawn light in the sky.
This issue of World Economic News will soon be delivered to the conference room where meetings have been held for several hours overnight.
He understood that other colleagues did not want to bring the matter to the adult's attention, but just as rain is destined to fall to the earth and flow to the sea, the sun is destined to rise every day, some things cannot be changed by getting angry. It is better to maintain a good attitude to meet all possible challenges in the future.
The experience of holding power for a long time and having everyone bow down to them may make some people intolerant of the slightest offense, but there are also people who have been walking on thin ice and have not forgotten that they are just people who run the world on behalf of others and are not truly invaluable.
Compared to a little bit of face, the mission given to them by that adult is the most important thing.
dong dong.
The sun, radiating the light of life, rises high amid the waiting of the Five Elder Stars.
Then there was a knock on the door.
CP0, wearing a mask, walked into the room holding some newspapers.
"…Is this what you call a sincere reply?" Looking at the front-page headline of the World Economic News in his hand, the world's largest newspaper, the Scientific Defense God of War Satan's face was extremely gloomy.
He knew that the matter in Beihai would come to an end.
In a way that would embarrass the world government.
The other Five Elders picked up the newspapers with equally unhappy expressions on their faces, because that was one of the directions they least wanted to see.
In the past, the World Economic News' reports on Li Zhong were basically just a few simple words, accompanied by a horrifying picture that caused collective physical discomfort among the general public.
But this time it’s different. The accompanying photo is of a vast, empty ocean, quiet and peaceful.
The title is simple as always, nothing fancy.
Only four words.
[There are no thieves in the North Sea! ]
The second page contains the detailed content of the report.
On June 1506, 6, Haiyuan calendar, a magical phenomenon occurred throughout the North Sea.
At 12 noon on that day, almost all the known pirate groups in the North Sea disappeared at the same time. Captain Hasu Ohm of the Hasu Pirates, who was drinking on XX Island, and all the members of his pirate group suddenly grew black strings in their bodies, and then their bodies were cut into pieces by the black strings.
This is not an isolated case. At almost the same time, similar things happened to almost all pirate groups in the entire North Sea. Now, unmanned ships filled with body parts and unclaimed treasures are drifting everywhere on the sea.
Many sailors...
Continuing to flip forward, there were interviews with people from the North Sea about their views on the matter. They were all unimportant stuff, and at the very end of the article, there were comments from Vinsmoke Judge, the King of the Germa Kingdom.
"I won't comment on this miraculous phenomenon. There may be new pirates in the future, but at least the North Sea is now more peaceful than ever before. I suggest that the countries in the North Sea take this opportunity to develop more economic and trade exchanges, make people's lives more prosperous, and strive to solve the pirate problem at the source."
In the whole article, there is not a single word about Li Zhong, but everyone who pays attention to Beihai knows that the black string is Li Zhong's signature method!
At 6 noon on June 1, it was less than an hour since Li Zhong ended his call with Satan Sheng!
Li Zhong used the lives of all the pirates still active in the North Sea to prove that he did not "deceive" the Five Elders in his previous phone call.
He seems to really have the ability to overturn the table with the world government!
A few days after the White Town incident, Beihai's report arrived at the Holy Land. The World Government felt that the report submitted by Beihai was ridiculous, so they sent it back for re-investigation, which took several days. The second report was still the same.
The World Government, unable to tolerate this any longer, called to question Vice Admiral Tsuru, and then Li Zhong took over the phone and talked directly to the Five Elders. At this moment, more than ten days had passed since the White Town Incident.
During these ten days, Li Zhong had already made sufficient preparations. He patrolled the sea and all the pirates he sensed were not killed immediately, but parasitic strings were quietly planted on them.
Shortly after ending the call with Saint Satan, Li Zhong activated his ability, and the parasitic strings on all the pirates exploded at the same time, putting on a big show for the Five Elders.
After watching Li Zhong's "performance", the Five Elders were completely afraid to move.
A sea of life is really too heavy.
In comparison, Li Zhong’s request is only to not interfere with each other unless necessary. The real losses of the world government are some officials who are capable of taking the positions and a few CP0s.
There is also the face of the World Government and the Five Elders.
Just as Li Zhong expected, faced with this kind of gambling where winning would bring no benefit but losing could result in serious injury, the Five Elders... did not dare to gamble!
They don't even have the right to sit at the gaming table and place bets!
Because the real owners of the North Sea are not them.
"…Report it." With a map-like scar birthmark on his bald forehead, the God of Law and War Topman Vochuli said in a deep voice.
Since Li Zhong might really have that ability, then matters concerning him are not something that the Five Elders can decide.
"That's the only way." Saint Satan put on the black round hat and stood up from his chair.
Li Zhong, a nobody with no status a few months ago, unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, he became someone so important that they had to meet with that adult to explain their situation.
On the sea, anything can happen.
The meeting place of the Five Elders was Pangu City, the core of the holy land of Mary Geoise, and that adult was in the deepest part of Pangu City.
That place is called...Between Flowers!
When the Five Elders entered the flowers, the adult was sitting on the empty chair that symbolized the king of the world, playing with the long black string at his fingertips.
"An ability I've never seen before...interesting." The soft murmur reached the ears of the Five Elders, causing their bodies to tense up involuntarily.
Apparently, he knew everything before the Five Elders reported to him.
After all, in this holy land of Marijoa, what was there that was beyond his sight?
Yes.
No! !
.
.
.
After a long time, the Five Elders left Huajian.
Li Zhong's telephone kept ringing.
Click.
"Hello, I'm Li Zhong."
"I am Saint Satan... We have seen your 'sincerity'."
"So……"
"You've done a great job clearing out those rebellious pirates in the North Sea who defied the government." Saint Satan's implication could not be more obvious.
"As a navy officer, it is my duty to catch pirates." Li Zhong said politely.
"But there are no pirates in the North Sea anymore. It would be a waste of resources to keep such an excellent navy like you there."
"So what Your Excellency Satan means is..."
"This ocean is huge, and there are places that need you more." Saint Satan had already agreed to Li Zhong's conditions. The matter of the White Town was over, and now it was time for the second round of negotiations between the World Government and Li Zhong!
Chapter 318: The Submission of the World Government
The meaning of the Five Elders is very clear. Let’s just forget about the previous incident in the White Town and let everything go on as usual. However, this is conditional. The first condition is that you must leave the North Sea!
In the eyes of the Five Elders, if Li Zhong continued to stay in the North Sea, the consequences would be simply terrible.
Not to mention Li Zhong's extraordinary methods, his mere existence is a threat to the World Government.
Li Zhong's prestige in Beihai is now too high. Although it has only been a few months since he appeared in Beihai, his words in Beihai are now more effective than those of the World Government that has ruled Beihai for 800 years!
In the North Sea, the World Government can only manage themselves, interfere with the member states, borrow the power of the member states and the navy, and deter non-member states and other forces. That's all.
But Li Zhong is not like that.
Previously, the World Government was dissatisfied with the outrageous report submitted by the North Sea and sent it back for a redo, but the result was that the entire North Sea, from the navy to pirates, from the World Government member states to non-member states, from the nobles to the civilians, even the North Sea World Government branch, all said in unison that there was no problem with the report.
It was handed back intact without any changes!
After Li Zhong spoke with Saint Satan, the Five Elders confirmed that Li Zhong was the culprit behind the White Town incident.
Even if Li Zhong didn't have the parasitic string, he would still be a huge threat in their eyes!
The Five Elders were very skeptical. If Li Zhong raised his arm and called for help, how many people from Beihai would respond to Li Zhong’s call and join his army!
Although Li Zhong's current position is still a small Four Seas Navy, not even at the level of admiral, he is already the de facto king of the North Sea!
It’s only been a few months?!
If we give him some time, God knows what the North Sea will become.
Maybe the locals only know Li Zhong and don’t know about the World Government!
This is something that the Five Elders absolutely cannot tolerate, and it is also something that the World Government absolutely cannot tolerate!
But if things really develop in this direction, how are they going to explain to the adult in Huajian?
Although during the conversation between the flowers, the adult's advice on how to deal with Li Zhong was just "Don't make the scene too awkward. If convenient, ask him to come to Marijoa. I want to see him."
Didn't say much else.
But if Li Zhong didn't have the card of Parasitic String, the Five Elders would have wanted to send their three generals and the Knights of God to the North Sea to wipe out this unstable factor that is even more terrifying than the Revolutionary Army!
Instead of using gentle means to persuade Li Zhong to leave Beihai as is done now.
After all, as long as they eliminated the leaders of the rebellion instigated by the revolutionary army, the rest would continue to do what they were supposed to do. Only a few would rather die than surrender.
But Li Zhong...if he starts a war, there won't be any survivors left! All that's left for the World Government is an empty North Sea!
"As a sailor, I am certainly willing to contribute to the stability of the world. I wonder where I am needed?" Li Zhong didn't care whether he left the North Sea or not.
If his ultimate goal is to dominate the world, then he certainly won't leave the North Sea so easily, a place where the prestige value... or the fear value is almost full and it is very convenient to do anything.
But he is not.
Li Zhong’s goal has never changed from the beginning to the end, that is to become the Supreme God!
To become the Supreme God, the most likely path in this world seems to be to study devil fruits, and one can study devil fruits anywhere, so Li Zhong doesn't mind changing places.
As long as it doesn't disrupt my demon colonization plan,
Now that the second-generation devil breeding technology is mature, Li Zhong will rely on this technology to harvest devil fruits all over the world. At this critical moment, as long as the world government does not cause trouble, it will be enough for Li Zhong.
"You should come to the holy land first. We will discuss the new arrangements for you slowly after you arrive at the holy land." Saint Satan said.
"Sir, there should be no need to keep this matter secret." Li Zhong chuckled and said.
Li Zhong felt that if they really wanted to arrange a new place for him, then this place should have been decided long ago, instead of negotiating with him. Could it be that if he wanted to go to the East China Sea, would the Five Elders dare to really arrange for him to go to the East China Sea? Impossible.
"As a glorious sailor, I am not afraid of difficulties and challenges. For the sake of world peace and stability, I will do my best to go there even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead. Just tell me where it is." Since there is nothing shameful and the other party is unwilling to say, there is only one possibility, that is, the place arranged by the Five Elders for Li Zhong is not a good place, and it may even be dangerous.
If I say it directly, I'm afraid Li Zhong will refuse on the spot.
It would be better to wait until Li Zhong arrives at the holy land of Mary Joa. After all, some things are inconvenient during long-distance calls, but once you meet face to face, there will be many ways to use on Li Zhong.
Whether it is pressure, beauty trap, or inducement, it is very convenient.
Of course, considering Li Zhong's parasitic string, he would not dare to take direct action before finding out the details of Li Zhong's abilities.
