Chapter 609: Strange new world (2)

This wasn't to say that Nick went out of his way to offend every other country in the world but he wasn't going to just roll over either. For many politicians this made him quite an irritation as all of his actions were clear cut and dry. He actually used the taxes of those in his territory to improve the territory and even went out of his way to lower the prices of items that were easy to obtain while things like water and food were pretty much free. -

Compared to the selfish way that the vast majority of politicians governed he was practically a saint and it made them look very bad. The worse part for them however was that they all knew that they were powerless to take action against him. Embargos , tariffs or blockades? All useless as Nick made sure his territory was self sufficient. Military action? What a joke , almost the entire population of his territory was armed with a Zanpakuto and thus highly dangerous. Propaganda and slurring his reputation was also off the table because quite frankly Nick couldn't care less. All the usual ways they would work to suppress someone they didn't like were nullified preemptively which made them frustrated.-

It was gruesome and took a lot of power to put down as the magical beasts combined resistances to magic and physical attacks gave the monster insane amounts of durability. Lupin had become a very popular choice for those seeking to become more than human as his magic had settled after being held in place by the ring for so long. This meant that the man no longer needed the ring in order to be a perfect werewolf and could even turn others into one as well.-

Most of those he had done so for were already werewolves however as he was trying his best to erase the curse entirely. Nick thought it a fools errand however as many packs violently rejected the man as they almost found the curse to be a sacred thing rather than a curse and thus hated that he had corrupted it into what he did. Lupin was far too soft to kill these stubborn ones like he should and as a result barely made a dent in the cursed werewolf population in the british isles.-

The most irritating part in Nicks opinion was the evolutionists who sought him out for his method to go beyond the human race as it was a tried and true method. Even after explaining that it was a series of fortunate events that couldn't be replicated these people still didn't leave him alone and even tried to ambush him to collect samples from him in hopes of reverse engineering the process for themselves.
