Ignoring the shocked look on "Arcane's" face, Shinji returned to the conference room and sat down leisurely, saying, "The trouble is solved, the meeting can begin."
"Arcane" exclaimed, "What did you do to them? Hypnosis? Or psychic pulse?"
Alice also reacted, anxiously saying, "Are you crazy? They are all disciples of the Supreme Sorcerers. Attacking them will bring you huge trouble!"
Shinji spread his hands: "Like what?"
"You..."
Alice was speechless for a moment.
The Supreme Sorcerers were currently fully occupied resisting the Hegemon's invasion; obviously, they couldn't spare time to target them.
Shinji looked at "Arcane": "We didn't come here to experience cold shoulders. We are risking our heads to resist the Hegemon. Since you can't handle it well, I'll teach you how to handle it. Remember, your time is running out."
"Apologies!"
"Arcane" bowed slightly, apologizing to Shinji and Alice.
Shinji's words were rough but reasonable. The Six Rings World was in imminent danger; there was no time for unnecessary formalities, let alone so-called mage etiquette.
Moreover, "Arcane" was somewhat unsure of Shinji's strength.
One must know that the mages around him, although arrogant, were without exception disciples of the six Supreme Sorcerers, high-level mages at the same level as him.
Yet Shinji, with just one glance, could make these high-level mages stand still on the spot, losing the ability to resist. This indicated that as long as the other party was willing, he probably wouldn't be much stronger than these high-level mages either.
Alice still frowned: "Akame, you are too reckless! We need to keep a low profile here. You simply don't understand the power of the Supreme Sorcerers. Even if they don't take action personally, just sending out magic servants could take our lives!"
"Arcane" hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will bear responsibility for this matter."
Shinji snapped his fingers and ordered, "Out!"
Soon, the several high-level mages trapped in Shinji's genjutsu immediately stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Watching the high-level mages leave the conference room like walking corpses, whether "Arcane" or Alice, all had complicated expressions.
After the high-level mages left, Shinji slowly spoke: "Arcane, I have a question, hope you can answer it for me."
"Arcane" asked: "What question?"
"Are they always this arrogant?" Casually pointing to the high-level mages who went out, Shinji continued, "Even though they are so weak!"
"Uh..."
Meeting Shinji's puzzled gaze, "Arcane" was somewhat embarrassed.
Alice stared at Shinji without speaking.
Shinji said: "Since the trouble has been dealt with, let's start the meeting. Everyone's time is tight!"
The reason Shinji chose to take high-profile action was partly because these mages were too arrogant and annoying. Secondly, because his time was running out, he wanted to display some strength to gain some leadership in the circle as soon as possible, facilitating him to accelerate the plan to resist the Hegemon.
After taking a seat, Alice couldn't help asking: "How did you do that just now?"
Shinji said: "Just a little genjutsu!"
"Arcane" said: "Genjutsu?! What we mages are best at is spiritual power manipulation. How could we be controlled by a little genjutsu?"
Shinji shrugged: "Shows you aren't skilled enough!"
"Arcane" was instantly dumbfounded, shaking his head: "Anyway, thank you for risking resisting the Hegemon to save the 'Six Rings World'!"
Alice looked deeply at Shinji.
She knew Shinji was strong; otherwise, Shinji couldn't have successfully contained so many of the Propagation Hegemon's flesh puppets on 'T33'. It was just that she only now realized she had still underestimated Shinji's strength.
However, she still felt Shinji was too reckless. At least he shouldn't have had a direct conflict with these disciples of the Supreme Sorcerers.
"After all, still a newcomer, doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. After understanding the power of the Supreme Sorcerers, he should learn to restrain himself!"
After sighing inwardly, Alice started the meeting.
First, Alice told "Arcane" about their arrangements on 'T33' and mentioned that giant tree reaching the sky.
Hearing this, "Arcane" pondered: "That giant tree must be the Propagation Hegemon's means of invading the world. This is also consistent with its characteristic of breeding."
Alice said: "Yes, Hengo and the others think so too. So we speculate that 'T33's destruction might be faster than originally planned!"
Shinji didn't interject because Alice's analysis was correct. With the God Tree absorbing energy internally and the Hegemon destroying the spatial barrier externally, 'T33's destruction was accelerating.
"Arcane" nodded gently: "This is good too, our plan can be realized faster!"
Once 'T33' was devoured by the Propagation Hegemon, the information about the 'Six Rings World' inside the information spheres placed everywhere on 'T33' would be captured by the Propagation Hegemon. At that time, the operation to lure the Propagation Hegemon to the 'Six Rings World' would be considered successful.
Alice said: "So your side must make preparations as soon as possible!"
"Arcane" nodded silently.
If everything went smoothly and the Propagation Hegemon was really attracted here, and conflicted with the Plague Hegemon invading here, it didn't mean the 'Six Rings World' could rest easy.
Because no one knew what kind of scene the battle between two Hegemons would be, and what consequences it would cause!
Seeing "Arcane" didn't answer immediately, Alice frowned and asked: "Regarding the Core Safe Zone proposal, has the Supreme Council not passed it yet?"
The so-called 'Supreme Council' was the institution discussing major issues in the 'Six Rings World', and the core members were the six Supreme Sorcerers.
As for the Core Safe Zone plan mentioned by Alice, it was a response plan formulated by Alice and others for the 'Six Rings World' facing the possible battle between two Hegemons.
Its core concept was to gather the six Supreme Sorcerers at one Mage Tower, combining the power of six 'Magic Rings' to create a Core Safe Zone to withstand the terrifying aftershocks that might be generated by the battle between two Hegemons!
"Arcane" sighed: "Yes, the other Supreme Sorcerers still have doubts about the Core Safe Zone plan."
Alice curled her lips: "I think they just can't bear to part with their Magic Towers!"
"Arcane" was quite helpless: "The Magic Tower is the source of mana for every Supreme Sorcerer. Each one has been passed down for thousands of years, or even longer. Asking them to give it up like this, it is very difficult for them to make this determination!"
Bang...
At this time, the door of the conference room was rudely slammed open.
The several high-level mages previously dismissed by Shinji rushed in angrily, roaring at Shinji: "You bastard, what did you do to us just now!"
