Part 2

While Yuuya and the others prepare for trans-dimensional invaders, in another world

Begin.

Shu Zakuren, the Katana Saint, quietly announced.

At Shus command, a man wearing a silk hat took out a horn and blew it vigorously.

At that moment, an enormous surge of magic power spread out from the mans horn.

In the blink of an eye, the sound spread throughout the world, and people everywhere heard it.

What is it? That sound

Where is it coming from?

What is happening?

The mysterious sound threw the inhabitants of the world into confusion.

Countries immediately mobilized their armies to find the source of the mysterious sound, but no one was able to locate Shu and his group.

Then, a huge image appeared in the sky above.

It was the image of Shu with an emotionless smile on his face.

W-what!

Who the hell is that?

Is it some kind of festival?

To the people of the world who still did not understand what was happening, Shu quietly opened his mouth.

Hello everyone; how are you? I am Katana SaintShu Zakuren.

The people who heard Shus introduction widened their eyes.

Katana Saint, you say Is that the same as the Sword Saint, Iris-sama?

There are people like that?

The same Holy, but unlike Iris, the existence of Shu, who rarely appeared in public, became known for the first time at this time.

At the same time, the mysterious sound and the fact that this image magic turned out to be from a being that was Holy made the people watching the images let down their guard.

But seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This is a bit sudden, but we have decided to take control of you, humanity.

The words were so abrupt that everyone was at a loss for words.

Of course, since it was visual magic, Shu himself could not see the scene.

You must be confused by the suddenness of the situation. But you had plenty of time. And yet, it was you who did not change your ways. Therefore, this is a natural outcome.

W-what is he talking about?

What does he mean by control?

I dont know, but hes joking, right?

To the confusion of the people of the world, Shu continued.

We, the Holy, have been fighting with our lives against the Evil and Evil Beasts created by the negative aspects of humanity and have been protecting you. However, you did not pay attention to such things and fought among yourselves, and as a result, you spread negative feelings all over the world. You really are stupid.

Shus eyes were so ruthless that many people trembled under his gaze, even through the image.

So we will control it. We will control everything, from your emotions to everything else, to eliminate the reasons for the appearance of Evil and Evil Beasts from the very source. Do you understand?

Controlling emotions, you say!

I would never submit to such a thing!

Where did that image come from?

Naturally, people were outraged by Shus remarks.

In some countries, there were even leaders who were ready to go and hunt down Shu and his group right now.

However, no one could locate Shu and his group.

Even the Sword Saint Iris and the others who were watching the images could not find them.

That guy He really meant what he said back then

Iris looked at the giant image floating in the air as if she were staring at it.

Immediately after the Heavenly Sacred Festival ended, Iris and the others began working to stop Shus actions.

Me neither.

The Katana Saint must have tremendous skill with the katana, but this image is clearly a magic technique. And if the images are being spread around the world on such a large scale, it is possible that one of the Katana Saints associates is skilled in magic.

Just like Iris and the others, Arnold deduced various information from Shus images.

Then Owen asked with a serious look on his face.

Your Majesty What are you going to do now?

Of course, I cant accept such a proposition. However the other party is a Holy. Of course, it might be a lie to claim that he is the Katana Saint, but the fact remains that there are people on his side who are capable of activating magic to such an extent. Can we really compete with such people?

Im always ready to fight.

Arnold nodded at Owen, who straightened his back and put his hand on his chest.

Yes. Im counting on you. And Im also worried about the movements of the other countries.

Thats But will they reject it as Your Majesty does?

In response to Owens question, Arnold shook his head quietly.

Sure, that would be normal but in some countries, thats not the case. Fortunately, this country is not at war with any other country, but it would not be surprising if some citizens of war-torn countries agreed with Shus words. And if more people agree with him, there might be a civil war a revolution in that country!

What!

Anyway, the best thing we can do is to prepare our forces for their attack.

Its a good thing Lexia-sama isnt here.

Yes. Even they would not be able to reach the other world. Besides, there is Yuuya-dono in that world.

If only Yuuya-dono would come

Dont say that. He has his own world

In this way, the higher-ups in each country also began to move in response to the declaration of war by Shu and the others.

In the pitch-black space, there are countless worlds covered with a transparent membrane like soap bubbles.

These bubbles are literally the crystallization of the worlds.

A universe, including galaxies and stars, is spread out in these small, confined membranes.

If a bubble were to burst, that world would end.

Such an impossible event happened here and there in space.

This place where many worlds were drifting was the space calledBetween Worlds.

Monsters lurk in such between worlds.

Mysterious spherical life forms with countless tentacles, like sea anemones and mollusks, with the grotesque appearance of octopuses and squids.

These monsters crowded together and fought fiercely, sometimes destroying the surrounding bubble world.

Then a white beast walked gracefully through the desolate between worlds.

It looked like a cat, its long, pure white fur shining in various colors.

Meow.

The white cat showed no interest in the battle between the monsters nor in the bubbles crystallizing the world.

It simply walked with graceful steps through this space where the concept of time did not exist.

As usual, the white cat was strolling leisurely through between worlds when it suddenly noticed something and caught sight of a world.

It was a world of transparent cubes, different from the world of soap bubbles that had appeared in the between worlds before he knew it.

There were countless such cubic worlds floating around, the one the white cat noticed is but one of many others.

Meow?

The white cat tilted its head as it had never seen such a strange world suddenly appearing in countless numbers before.

The reason why this cube-shaped world appeared was because the boundary between dimensions disappeared due to the influence of a false god, and Yuuyas world, which existed in another dimension, flowed into it.

Because of these events, the beings who had been using Yuuya from the parallel world as a pawn became aware of the existence of another dimension and decided to invade it.

However, the white cat was unaware of these circumstances and simply turned its eyes to the strange world that had suddenly appeared.

As it turned its space-like black eyes toward the cubic world, information about that world began to flow into the cats brain.

Since there is no concept of time in Between Worlds, the white cat could see from the oldest information in the world to the far future.

In the midst of all this, the white cat noticed a planet that existed within the cubic world.

The white cat did not know why it noticed the planet.

But as if attracted by something, its eyes were drawn to the planet.

The history of the planet flowed into the white cats brain as images and finally stopped when it showed a young man.

It was the image of Yuuya before he set foot in the other world.
