"Excuse me, Mr. Zhong Chen, what exactly is a Colossus?"
Chtholly, hearing about planets and such, raised her hand with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Heh heh, little girl, a planet is the world you are currently on, and the universe is made up of countless planets."
"And a Colossus is a weapon that can destroy a planet with a single blow. Do you understand now?"
Fujitora Issho, with a smile on his face, explained to Chtholly what a Colossus was.
"So, Mr. Zhong Chen, you and your companions are going to destroy a world, no, multiple worlds?"
After hearing Issho's explanation, Chtholly and Willem looked at Zhong Chen and the others with horrified expressions.
They are good people, right? They must be good people… Zhong Chen, noticing the trio's expressions from the side, said with a smile:
"It's not that exaggerated. We only destroy uninhabited planets that cannot sustain life."
"We generally don't destroy habitable planets that can sustain life."
"Oh, I see."
The three finally let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhong Chen's explanation, and Zhong Chen, seeing this, shook his head helplessly.
If these guys knew he could easily destroy the entire universe, who knows how scared they would be.
"This isn't the place for idle chatter. Let's go, I'll show you what a space battleship is."
After speaking, Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and everyone present was instantly transported back to the bridge of the "Imperial Prince" battleship.
"Is this what they call a space battleship? Is that… could that be…"
Willem looked out the porthole at the enormous yellowish-brown sphere and asked in shock.
And while Chtholly and Nephren didn't speak, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
"So this is what the world we live in looks like. It's so beautiful!"
Zhong Chen, hearing Chtholly's words and looking at the drab planet before him, immediately put on an 'old man's confused' face.
Where is this thing beautiful? It doesn't even have any greenery.
"Report! Lord Zhong Chen, Lord Rimuru, Commander Sengoku, the global broadcast is ready. Should we begin the broadcast?"
A Fallen Angel in military uniform stood up respectfully, saluted Zhong Chen and the others, and then asked loudly.
"Begin."
Zhong Chen nodded slightly and spoke to the Fallen Angel.
"Yes, sir!"
The Fallen Angel then sat at the control panel and began operating it.
In just a moment, a voice began to broadcast globally.
"Hehe, A Chen, look at the figure I bought. How is it, cool, right?"
"What the heck, where did you buy that? That's a limited-edition Strike Freedom!"
"From Lady Tamayo. She even gave me a discount! She said I'm an emperor and gave me a 30% discount!"
"It only cost 8888 lime coins. How about that, isn't it a great deal!"
"Where did you get so much money, you rascal?"
"I found it in a locked box behind the TV. There were actually five thousand lime coins in there…"
"Nani! That was my private stash, you scoundrel!!!"
"That was my last bit of wealth!"
"Ah!!! A Chen, you actually hid…"
Bang!
A violent crashing sound reached everyone's ears, and the broadcast abruptly stopped.
At this moment, not only in the fleet, but even the indigenous people listening to the broadcast on the floating island were stunned.
"Hoo hoo hoo!!! My image!"
"By the way, where did that recording come from?!"
Zhong Chen, looking distraught, frantically pounded the control panel and couldn't help but shout.
"Wahahaha, it was me!"
Just as everyone was wondering where the recording came from, the bridge door suddenly opened, and Milim, with Ramiris, walked in, looking pleased with herself.
"I knew it was your doing again, Milim! I'm going to fight you!"
With that, Zhong Chen casually pulled out "Abyss" and charged at Milim.
Milim, seeing this, also fearlessly took out "Gaze" and met his charge.
"Sigh… Here we go again…"
Seeing the two start fighting again, everyone else knew that the main business would have to be postponed again.
Then, to the dumbfounded expressions of Willem and the other two…
Kizaru and Aokiji each pulled out a lounge chair, lay down, and held a drink that they had acquired from who knows where.
Sengoku, meanwhile, pulled Garp, Azazel, and Uriel together for a game of mahjong.
Rimuru and Ramiris were also enjoying small desserts, served by Diablo.
Only Akainu remained diligently looking at the star chart, lost in thought.
Willem looked at the sudden change in atmosphere among the group and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Just then, Fujitora Issho, with three golden stars on his shoulder, approached Willem with a dice cup in hand, asking with a "sincere and honest" expression:
"My friend, would you like to play a round with me? It's 100 lime coins a round, a great deal."
"…"
Time flowed on as Zhong Chen and Milim brawled, and everyone else did their own thing.
Until a loud shout startled the Fallen Angel soldier who was sleeping at the control panel.
"Today, our victory and defeat remain undecided. Considering it's getting late, we can only fight again another day!"
"Wahahaha, A Chen, I'll let you off the hook this time, but tomorrow you won't be so lucky!"
With that, both of them put away their weapons in unison.
Then, Zhong Chen turned his head and saw everyone having a blast, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.
"I say, you guys, can't you do something productive?!!!"
Interrupted by Zhong Chen's angry roar, everyone first looked at him with confused expressions.
Then, realizing what had happened, they all looked angry and shouted in unison at Zhong Chen:
"Who isn't doing something productive?!!! *n"
"Uh… Ahem!"
…"Cough cough… Well, since I smashed the broadcast emitter, never mind. I'll just say it directly!"
After a moment of chaos, Zhong Chen lightly coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then spoke softly.
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, everyone simply looked at him silently, as if to say, "Please begin your performance."
"Cough cough… Mic check, mic check, can you hear me?"
Zhong Chen activated his divine ability, projecting his voice across the planet before him.
And upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, Sengoku and the others all covered their faces, speechless.
How are people supposed to respond to you?
Meanwhile, on the archipelago continent within the planet, everyone looked around in horror, as if searching for the source of the voice.
"Well, everyone, you don't need to search. You won't find me."
"I'm transmitting my voice to all of you for only one reason…"
"And that is, from now on, all of you will be incorporated into the Monster Country Federation's administration!"
"If anyone disagrees, you can choose to resist and try. I guarantee that if you try, you'll die."
The numerous indigenous people, who didn't understand Zhong Chen's pun, looked around in panic.
And at this moment, the high-ranking officials of the archipelago continent were also in a state of panic; they had never encountered such a situation before.
"Quickly, go and invite Great Sage over and ask him what on earth is going on!"
"Yes, sir!"
"No need, I'm already here!"
Before the dog-headed soldier could leave, Great Sage Swan Candel, clad in a white robe, walked in.
"Great Sage, what on earth is going on? What country is this so-called Monster Country Federation?!"
"This old man is also unsure, but I think it's best to make contact with them first and see…"
"This…"
Unlike these high-ranking officials who were caught in a dilemma, at this moment, in the Fairy Warehouse…
Ithea sat by the window, resting her small face on her right hand, a faint smile gracing her lips, and softly whispered:
"Mr. Zhong Chen, is it finally starting…"
