"The reason I came today is precisely for this, so you all need to consolidate your armies as quickly as possible."
"After that, the New World will require your intervention."
"Since you're all here, I'll take this opportunity to boost your strength."
After Zhong Chen explained the reason for his visit, he casually summoned the human emperor banner.
Although Sengoku and the others were strengthened by the Slime World after arriving, they could be further enhanced using souls.
As Zhong Chen put it, 'We must reap the benefits of the world, and we must also improve ourselves; both hands must be firm.'
On a side note, after Sengoku and the others arrived in the Slime World, all their Devil Fruit abilities had been converted into skills.
Therefore, they no longer had the weaknesses of Sea Stone and seawater.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone present had received unprecedented improvements.
Admirals and Fleet Admirals like Sengoku and Akainu all reached SS- level.
Admiral candidates reached S+ strength, Vice Admirals S-rank, and Rear Admirals S-.
As for Benimaru and the others, they all had SS+ strength.
"Alright, I've boosted your strength. I still need to go and boost the strength of others, so I'll be off now!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, everyone stood up and watched him leave.
Zhong Chen, reaching the door, casually waved his hand, signaling them to continue their meeting.
Leaving the military department, Zhong Chen then successively visited several other places, further enhancing everyone's strength.
The Royal Knights, in particular, received a significant boost; now, every member starts at a minimum of S-rank.
Even Primordial Demons like Primordial Yellow now possessed SS+ strength.
Diablo was even enhanced to SSS-, and in terms of combat power, he was no longer weaker than Guy or Milim.
Don't find this level of improvement terrifying; Zhong Chen is, after all, already at the Soul Transformation cultivation stage, so his ability to boost strength has also become greater.
Moreover, while Benimaru and Sengoku and the others are all SS-rank, one SS-rank can easily defeat five SS-. As for SS+, that's a complete crush .
As for those who went with Rimuru to subjugate Clayman, they had already been strengthened by Zhong Chen before their departure.
Rimuru, with Zhong Chen's help, successfully awakened the Wisdom Core: Ciel, and his strength successfully broke through to SSS-.
Currently, the Monster Country Federation has three SSS-rank individuals: Rimuru, Veldora, and Diablo, who just reached SSS-.
As for Zhong Chen, he can no longer be measured by this ranking.
Some might ask, what about Milim and Ramiris?
These two already possessed SSS- strength, but they couldn't utilize it due to different reasons.
Milim was prone to losing her sanity, and Ramiris was undergoing reincarnation and cultivation.
So, Zhong Chen only solved Milim's problem of losing her sanity when using Ultimate Skills.
As for Ramiris, she can continue to be a mascot and slowly recover her strength; after all, the Monster Country Federation isn't lacking that bit of combat power.
"Phew, after half a year of hard work, I'm back to square one!"
Zhong Chen felt a surge of emotion as he sensed the less than 500,000 souls remaining in the human emperor banner.
"Forget it, there's no use keeping them anyway. It's better to use them early and enjoy them early! Sakuya, let's go."
"Yes, Master."
With that, Sakuya followed Zhong Chen into the Dimensional Gate. As Sakuya's figure entered the gate, the Dimensional Gate instantly vanished.
Geminar World, Night
The night in the New World was utterly silent, moonlight spilling like water across the land.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar pierced the entire night sky.
Looking towards the source of the sound, one could see a seikishi, faintly revealing some white under the moonlight.
The seikishi's roar was like thunder, resounding throughout the night, leaving people awestruck.
This sudden roar startled all the Kuros in the vicinity awake, their eyes glowing red as they stared intently at the seikishi.
"Wow! It's a dark and windy night for murder!"
Zhong Chen and Izayoi Sakuya floated in the air, looking down at Kenshi Masaki.
"Master, are we just going to watch?"
Hearing Sakuya's words, Zhong Chen replied with a smile:
"This time, I'll enjoy the feeling of following the plot. By following him, I can get in touch with that money-grubbing Lashara."
Actually, the anime "Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar" isn't complicated.
Simply put, the protagonist, Kenshi Masaki, due to his mother's reasons, had to be sent to this world called Geminar.
And Kenshi Masaki, in order to find a way back to his original world, was tricked by the villain into assassinating Lashara Aasu, the new puppet queen of the Streiyu Kingdom.
However, due to illness and his inherent kindness, he found it difficult to harm Lashara, who was only a twelve-year-old girl.
He was eventually captured by Lashara's subordinates.
Then, he followed Lashara through various events and crises.
Finally, it's a story about defeating the final boss and saving the world.
"Look, here it comes."
Zhong Chen said, watching Hakucho Castle approach.
Hakucho Castle is Lashara's private ship, a flying vehicle that uses an Apha power reactor to travel through the Aina Sea.
Inside Hakucho Castle at this moment, Lashara, Ulyte, Kea, and others were observing the Seikishin in the cargo hold.
Looking at the Seikishin's massive and pitch-black form, Ulyte couldn't help but exclaim:
"Indeed, unlike a seikishi, it subtly emanates an aura of majesty and power that rejects everything."
Hearing Ulyte say this, Lashara crossed her arms and disagreed, interjecting:
"If it even rejects its seikishi, isn't it just a display piece!"
The Nanny, who had been silently accompanying them, heard Lashara say this and earnestly instructed:
"Princess Lashara, although it is only for the coronation ceremony, the Church has made an exception and lent us the Seikishin."
Hearing The Nanny, who had always raised her, say this, Lashara shook her head helplessly and continued:
"It's just big, stupid, and black; it's nothing but trouble."
"Mee-ow! Mee-ow! Mee-ow! Mee-ow!"
"What! The Kuro alarm!"
Everyone present tensed up upon hearing the Kuros' cries. After all, Lashara had just assumed the throne.
There were many who were dissatisfied, and someone might take a desperate gamble and attempt an assassination.
"What's the panic?"
Lashara looked at the maid who ran over and asked with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, we are under attack! One seikishi!"
Hearing the maid's anxious words, Kea, who served as the captain of the Royal Guards, hurriedly ran to the window to check the situation.
"Oh dear, oh dear, really, they're far too impatient. I thought the attack would at least wait until the Holy Land ceremony was over."
Hearing Lashara say this, Ulyte suddenly spoke with a puzzled expression:
"That's strange. They're already so close, and the Kuros only just noticed them. Just who is this uninvited guest?"
"Then… just who is this uninvited guest!"
Kea looked on in shock at the white seikishi flying in sync outside Hakucho Castle.
"What's wrong, Kea!"
"A white… white seikishi!"
"What!"
Before Kea could say anything more, the white seikishi's figure suddenly vanished from her sight.
"Oh no!"
Seeing the vanished seikishi, Kea's alarm bells rang. She hurriedly instructed the maid:
"Tell the helmsman to lower the altitude as much as possible and maintain forward speed!"
Then she turned her head to Ulyte and continued:
"Lady Ulyte, I entrust Her Majesty Lashara to you!"
After saying that, she ran towards the storage room where the seikishi were kept, while Ulyte softly replied to Kea's retreating back:
"Understood, Captain of the Royal Guards."
No sooner had Ulyte finished speaking than Lashara called out to Kea:
"Kea, I still have questions for that seikishi. Be restrained when you act."
Hearing this, Kea said nothing but bowed respectfully before turning and leaving.
