165 Gates appear between two worlds

Far from the United Federation, the man who considered himself the protector stood proudly at the center of the Blessed Empire as he observed the changes as well. He knew a bit more about Noah's arduous journey that made way for them to get where they were now, and could not wait to take center stage as well.

After spending a significant amount of time talking to the innocent-looking Sophia, he set his personal goal for the Beast World about to open its doors to be the treasures called Spiritual Lands.

The image of a floating landmass appearing above the empire was still burned into his mind as his own sense of adventure had begun wildly burning one more. This was his own personal goal, and the Blessed Empire, as well as the United Federation as a whole, would have their own goals.

Just like finding a route to a new land that held tons of riches, both worlds were now being connected, leading to a potential trade of goods, skills, and many more things at a much grander scale.

Proper people were already notified of the impending establishment of gateways as plans went underway to prepare for something rarely seen in the universe, the creation of a budding economy between two worlds.

The remaining Mythical Beasts in the Beast World watched the formation of large white gates that settled on easy to access locations near their Mythical Kingdoms. The [Imperial Phoenix] was puzzled to hear the will of the world that rarely made its appearance over the years come with a message and a huge surprise thereafter.

She looked over the stat panel that showed all her spectacular skills in a unique fashion as she shook her head incredulously, still not fully believing it. She had discussed with the Blue Tortoise and White Tiger as they put their heads together, combining their skills and watching the results with fiery eyes.

They knew the implications of being able to strengthen their power like this. Reaching the rank above Mythical would not be an issue for them, and all they would need would be time.

OONG

The phoenix watched as the large white gate near her kingdom stabilized, a resonation of essence ringing out as it now stood grandly. A hazy white light covered it as the [Imperial Phoenix] wanted to be the first to test it out. Her powerful figure drifted across the skies as it passed through the layer of light that surrounded the gate.

A brief period of darkness, and then she observed a whole new world in front of her. Her senses spread out as she observed throngs of human figures near the gate, a collection of many weirdly shaped carriages and goods that were lined up for miles already in place.

Further from here, she could see structures and buildings much different than she was used to as she felt a movement close to the gate she just came through. Her powerful gaze landed on a stout human that carried a spear, his power only at Epic rank, but the conviction in his eyes was clear.

She recalled the message from the will of the Beast World as she nodded towards this human.

"You're the representative of this land?"

The human she addressed, Steel Mikhail, withstood the waves of power as he forced his knees to stand straight and replied.

"Yes, let's talk."

Scenes like this were playing out all over the world as multiple gates that appeared with individuals already set in place for the welcome and discussion of the people from both sides.

Noah had spent the three days before the descent into the Aqua Tower moving across the two worlds and setting things in place, with the planetary cores doing more of the work as they relayed messages of peace to their inhabitants.

The two worlds were now inexplicably connected, and proper figure heads were set up to make sure the mixing of the two worlds would be that of peace and benefit.

Two gates appeared in the Blessed Empire that connected to the Mythical Phoenix Kingdom and the Mythical White Tiger Kingdom. Another two gates appeared in the United Federation that connected to the Mythical Blue Tortoise Kingdom and to the Frozen Kingdom.

The Dark Sword, Kazuhiko, had already gone past the gate in front of him as he appeared in the snowy lands of the Frozen Kingdom, his eyes shining at the people also waiting on the other side.

He saw a beautifully composed blue-haired woman with an icy expression surrounded by many figures. Among these figures he could see both the humans he had always known, as well as the beastmen he had only heard about from Noah. His heart felt excitement as he wanted to get over the diplomatic talks and start adventuring in this world with his own party of cute demihumans, but the boring talks and technicalities always came first.

He looked towards the woman that had an aura screaming out that she was royalty as he slightly bowed towards her.

"Hello, I'm one of the representatives of the United Federation. I look forward to working with you."

The icy woman nodded as a figure stepped up to talk to him.

"This is the Miraculous Queen Adelaide Belmont, the ruler of the Frozen Kingdom."

A person shrouded in a black garb from head to toe replied to his welcome. The voice that replied was very precise and strong, making Kazuhiko look favorably towards this person in front of him. It looked like the talks of technicalities would end fast. He beckoned the government officials that entered the gate after him as the process of the two worlds getting to know each other went underway.

The dynamics of power were very different, with those in the Beast World being much stronger than those in the Blessed Empire or the United Federation. It would be a period of learning and adjusting for both sides as the singular purpose of growing was what the wills of their worlds had expressed to the leaders set in place.

The two worlds had an abundance of differences in strength and culture, but they were united by a singular goal through all of this. Beings had invaded their world, killed millions of their people, and then simply left.

Their hearts were burning with anger, and it looked like they had a chance to get back to those that left behind those terrible scars and fantastical things were now occurring. The Four Mythical Beasts of the Beast World were now reduced to three, and nothing could be done to bring back their fallen friend.

The blue planet was reduced to a collection of cities and countries as they lost millions of loved ones with the advent of the apocalypse. These two unlikely worlds were now connected, their common goal being revenge and destruction of a singular enemy.

They would learn about the differences and similarities of their worlds as they shared their knowledge and sources of power. They would increase their strength as they aimed their swords towards the enemy that caused them tremendous pain. The wrath of two worlds was budding as they prepared to return the favor to the Demon World.
