The Sealed Saviour - CHAPTER 9: THE LEGENDARY MASTER & THE WORLD SYSTEM

The air was still trembling.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeV63HpPT9

Hummmmmmmmmm!!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWgkas4E1z

A deep, vibrating pressure lingered across the world, pressing down on everything like an invisible weight. It was not just power it was something far beyond it. Something ancient. Something unnatural.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJIbFDTdt

Even now… it had not fully disappeared.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PsbDrVlty

The silence that followed was not peaceful.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfi5ZiQnWd

It was heavy.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuacyUDdM7Y

Cold.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iglbberUC

Unstable.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1f4IdL7GB

As if reality itself had cracked for a brief moment… and was still trying to recover.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRoGtpysgi

Then

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi81pdDeZ5

“Legendary Master…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BsXje1zWF

The moment the name was spoken

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fMyqyUEwZ

Hayato Shizukami’s eyes widened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVSgE6E7YA

WHOOSH!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIqVJ6Fu3

Without wasting even a single second, he rushed forward, grabbing his master’s arm tightly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hzE1hxqc

“Come with me.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO9CBljqc7

There was no hesitation in his voice.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa39OrnOv8H

No explanation.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgga2aKaQa

Only urgency.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG7sXZKNRS

The Legendary Master didn’t resist.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8JIPGiDEF

He didn’t ask questions.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREM4SKeimu

Because he had already felt it.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmno3YEu5Zh

Whatever that power was… it had shaken even him.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcZ6B4GwYh

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55kh7rBfsr

A hidden chamber deep within the structure.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJoEgU6QRy

Ancient.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaRCEmGGrE

Isolated.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYjKJPPcL

Protected by layers of unseen barriers.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcJOUR3bG5

The moment they entered

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ60etaU4m

The door slammed shut behind them.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qbYep39du

THUD!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RguWK4G63

Silence swallowed everything.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDPTTmIRL

Even sound itself felt restricted here.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxWTTWmxvu

Hayato took a slow, steady breath, trying to calm the storm inside him.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawaDn7T4S7

“…It wasn’t safe out there.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM4JZYfrwn

His voice was low.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM9AnjocxS

Controlled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab5O3n8Y0Z

But the tension beneath it was impossible to hide.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYPBIBKvdC

He lifted his gaze.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPpf9K9UH2

Sharp.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJZCQx1Hy

Focused.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyidN0hIoeN

“…You felt it too… didn’t you?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1iRb9go9Q

For a moment, the Legendary Master said nothing.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBosK1mZVsP

He simply stood there.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZVb46xGp

Eyes closed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZbsHOzAe8

Listening.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8c0LDZKgz

Feeling.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmFgUhfNZX

Then

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cXZY6YQty

Slowly

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWqkOar3fv

He opened them.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEdmAMlbp

“…That level of power…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0498lWecc

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zcQuRNg7

Heavy.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YA7rWDfrn

“…It must have been felt across multiple universes.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sc62rTfX2

Even the air seemed to freeze at those words.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeGnC3ZjVK

Hayato didn’t respond.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjEs242cX

Because he knew it was true.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlexVtwZvSq

Then

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVKQD63VBs

The Legendary Master spoke again.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNuoYQE8Mw

“Who was it…?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSYN1jeTw

His voice deepened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5egYN2Fls

“…Who sacrificed himself… and revived humanity…?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFusF8DrXWK

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6R0aHvlx4

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpzD3t6u2R

Hayato stepped closer.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSwX9UNhPb

Lowering his voice as if even the walls could hear him.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2imWQnk3J

“…He’s not dead.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydQmhFumXF

Silence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNJDJnl9r

For the first time

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq92mT7k8Kv

The Legendary Master’s expression broke.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZ9cbmtln

“…What?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpdzvJGu3V

Hayato looked down slightly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsd6nEBn9E

His fists clenched.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYJGa4YXCN

“…He’s alive.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpCizR5K4e

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKixrH2Wpk

Then

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lTXe5pZe

“…He is my son.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPVGPaSqpw

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQgMd1t4OT

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OKgUujMPl

THUD!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucBo0HtzN

The Legendary Master took a step back.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBlb2pqSL1

Shock spread across his face raw and unfiltered.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P8yTmm8jL

“…Impossible…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdDxnL5GmG

His voice sharpened instantly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1GhmDwOCI

“How?!”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXie3kbQU

“Why?!”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwad54lPL1S

“And how did he survive that?!”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s8jMRbaoy

Each question hit harder than the last.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUmi6HbAw

But Hayato remained calm.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNZ8ALTUVV

Too calm.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85AfvULE2O

“…I sealed him.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJvyWLdJ34

A brief pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBXLYk8TbP

“…Using the Black Box Prison.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lyIBnr4Z9

Silence filled the room.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmt4QlfOny

Heavy.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxGNnqay8m

Uncomfortable.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6OoI98E6

The Legendary Master’s expression slowly shifted.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDIhyZvlww

From shock…

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W9OyhAwZG

To understanding.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN35pDZGnTF

“…That seal…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOuebII0US

He exhaled slowly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUY3KODhqk

“…will last at most four to five years.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiOQHsqvTK

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMiBPrH8bc

“…No more.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxHB1qinOu

The words landed like a sentence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGXutTwMNQ

“…You need a solution.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybnd25Gmu

---

Moments later

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQEQF7kzn

Hayato returned.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprE8JXpXyK

Holding the child carefully in his arms.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7rng6YaFs

The newborn looked fragile.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pA1DtNWGx

Too fragile.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGq4Me3As4

His body trembled faintly, as if struggling to contain something far beyond what it could endure.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9YhGzzKS5

Cracks of unstable energy flickered beneath his skin.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOcSegOyd

The Legendary Master stepped forward.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaUWN9mVB

His expression turned serious.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNBC6pF9BH

Focused.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHwFaEiTb

He raised his hand

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbawGpwDrr6

And placed it just above the child.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ54TloPFAm

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1SHupNNCd

“Threat Teleportation… Shiritsu.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpR82zARXk

ZZZZZZTTTT!!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb1DPhBRUV

Energy exploded into motion.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh3q2Qj7vl

The room trembled violently.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUZUsRmXS6

Power spiraled around the child like a storm, forming layer after layer of glowing patterns.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWimMNHrFCq

A seal began to form.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf9SCqai0W

Complex.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BASVoBkuo

Precise.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7urU3TOf

Unforgiving.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWNJvKZ0gX

The air screamed under the pressure.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupnCevLwcu

Then

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Rk7pPmjZ

BOOM!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXECm5NGB

Everything settled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aknbMz5Xm

Silence returned.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVqnMrFat6

But it was different now.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCUrjVmMeb

Controlled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ixZP8Gqr

Stabilized.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JxMdBzltA

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlEDZTuPrp

Hayato stepped forward immediately.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6SpMOK2j4

“…Master… what was that?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mZkLReG9E

The Legendary Master lowered his hand.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUXLpqOWLX

His gaze remained on the child.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHGXq8gkaO

“Whenever he reaches a life-threatening state…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9xxmMjuZU

“…he will instantly teleport to me.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuwCPODzQ9

Hayato’s eyes narrowed slightly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQE9BBv063

A safeguard.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX29zRZgzy

A final line of survival.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5jjVQyGuD

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT9HTEk8UY

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqpyhydj1

The Legendary Master leaned closer.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jmCh2PJ1M

His voice dropped to a whisper.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9oHPYu5dJ

“…If you want him to live…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTOIxY1UDW

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp7HeK9Ucg

“…you must seal the Legendary Divine Spirit the Wolf inside him.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrzB3tfKr5

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3aEHYyGN

Hayato’s eyes widened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aBksJjZp2

“…That’s X-Rank power…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAY44ZicAn

“…Only top Shin Warriors can handle it…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO3R65CKgc

“…His body is already breaking with his own power far more that Z+ even we don’t know how to rank it…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT4PDYLY7i

“…He won’t survive more power…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBCLas8diJ

His voice tightened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhsf06dX6E

Because everything about that idea felt wrong.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9jB90MRQ0

Dangerous.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF4eAmWTJy

Impossible.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mp9uAYhIr

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMt6y1CWlf

“Don’t be foolish.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B2HwDo85J

The Legendary Master’s tone turned sharp.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VbBO1mFeG

“…Do you even understand the regeneration of the Legendary Divine Spirit?”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpXKhlunkY

Silence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkp2p2EsgQ

“…It will stabilize his body.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXCAHm2P3

“…Control his inner power.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gNIqSUgJW

“…Continuously heal him.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfEvgXDLDB

“…The wolf’s power will not destroy him…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315mxeKzfy

“…it will sustain him.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0JQCB0oY

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vcZViHqvy

His gaze hardened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xs3Xc5PV8

“…Until he trains his body like mountains.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVASO8bRre

The words carried weight.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC2s6p3IJ8

Final.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3hHDHwX7j

“…That is the only way he survives.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2Gaw1uWP

---

“…You will find it…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIx4qqwBrM

A brief pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRtnunZXU

“…in the center of the Grand Forest of Monsters.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRLapOSzxU

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4rOQKjQX6

Hayato looked at him.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmg9XnnMS

“…The world is changing.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9J4VWOpRw

“…You should take responsibility too.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8PGRcnEVR

“…I want to entrust you with something.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB50Pn61Hy2

The Legendary Master turned.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Ne7N9v1u

Walking away without looking back.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KLi8U09w6

“…I will think about it.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7u68c1isl

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOwQ11xa6

“…If no answer comes… consider it a refusal.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR0Kxrf8Lf

Another step.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wtRfTiXTf

“…But if needed…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzNGKK8x9O

“…I will return.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh229yRsPW

WHOOSH!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7PNCJYx4i

He vanished.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsU9tRJQ6G

Gone.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPTgfuLtwV

Just like that.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yf9QOPK7S

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3UKrxzeNo

The hall was massive.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuay0QxTSW

Ancient.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvgtf1eaAA

Towering stone pillars stretched toward the ceiling like silent guardians of history.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsv4HJf8A1

Scrolls covered long tables.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBUS3IryLe

Maps of entire lands spread across the room.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOTSTOZrVm

There were no modern devices.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ErBl1evr8

No distractions.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2RyqLKc92

Only knowledge.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ48kd4XH8

Only authority.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lth7R1J9p

Leaders from multiple lands had gathered.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzT9vdb4z

Their presence alone carried weight.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGpQ8hGpqL

Among them

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ9SkuHOah

Hayato Shizukami.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ohwPinNRy

Kazumi Kaimetsuza.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P72BADWTN

At the center of the hall

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0dCfPzRNn

A General stood.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL50QLS6gO

Kazuki.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl69KQFFIJ

In front of a massive opened scroll.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywR6cRlJEq

The room slowly fell into silence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H7uDZOkjf

All eyes turned toward him.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQkN39gYCu

---

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4hzwRPESR

FLIP!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UuOg6iZAq

The scroll opened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBEEBCU4N

Kazuki’s voice echoed across the hall.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dn8aNdrMK

“According to the recent power reports…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSSNppqQBD

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxEhMKIPX

“98% of individuals fall within D and C ranks…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbHSChXSD

“…capable of basic power usage.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pVlWOWqOE

A low murmur spread across the room.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zm6PWm5YY

He continued.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoapOODeRI

“1.5% have reached A and S ranks…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkk9GS5Ne

The tension in the room shifted.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrKcXpvtn4

“…and 0.5% are approaching SSS rank…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmrcnGg3zu

Silence followed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0QIXM4U0G

“…including the Supreme Leaders of the West and East.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWkAi9oYW

That silence grew heavier.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmu5FGNNPw

Because everyone understood what that meant.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ711IafdsuC

Power was rising.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UM7XyNedO

Fast.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIKrS4HFC7

Too fast.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jSVOWMXM

Kazuki lifted another scroll.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TiGXd2P4P

FLIP!!

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIk1aeyACk

“To maintain balance…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn5dDZBu1p

His voice hardened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vN0MBh7jo

“…new systems have been established.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5rjUpSEq

“Two new institutes to build and balance the future” …

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbYf7n4Nku

“Shiritsu Supreme Council and Shiritsu Dominion University”.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TLOpX0Vcc

The leaders remained silent.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt0bWKqHHH

Watching.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM2VqPOPjo

Listening.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhgotADuKn

Judging.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xEIzxUwRA

“This system will stand at the center of all lands.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMLU6zZizH

“No single land will control it.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSDK9c5llH

“It will act independently.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mp2N9jJR1

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTSEjGw8UM

“And its authority…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDac1eJh5U

“…will be equal to any Supreme Leader.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7gOCai0Ou

“A Supreme Chancellor” ...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK3jPyUEmN

That statement alone sent a subtle ripple through the hall.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6lNdRyHI1

Some eyes narrowed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwjaHXibwc

Others remained unreadable.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2O3xTvFAb

But no one interrupted.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAK9py11g

Because they all knew

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFkbMKEvG2

Something like this was inevitable.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4vlGDfmu

“The systems will maintain balance among Shin Warriors.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpweNYiOIf

“It will respond to global threats.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0aOw6yC3

“It will handle monsters… unknown dangers… and unstable power events.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBZGGGBj9S

“It will assign missions.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZMowXmgN

“It will manage those who seek power… and those who misuse it.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeydxCmv3Au

His tone dropped.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ3i04Q4hk

“…And any attempt to revive forbidden ancient technology…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0876ypd3y

A pause.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0U6oWYAry

“…will be stopped.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLEE0Wt6tZ

Silence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tDYhbAP81

“…by force if necessary.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoUxRrxkHx

The air tightened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS170b7psy

No one spoke.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByYdLeTX9

Because this…

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLelPUdFJM

This was absolute authority.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtuiSQANvL

“The system will not interfere in politics.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM1jTlH73W

“…but in matters of power…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3giDpj2SC

“…it will act without restriction.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWBfj0Rki2

Kazuki let those words settle.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fHApm3vCa

Then continued.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmcdEb45ZP

“Across all lands…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7zxX4kkLK

“Branches will be established.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsThS5hLjUy

“Council Branches”…

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVrqUgfoK6

“Shin Warriors will register.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyKM1QlW7K

“They will be tested.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPMejgp1KS

“They will be ranked.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrv9D9IRuU

“They will take missions.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7REHF0295

“And those who stand above the rest…”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGT7KFjGj

“…will be chosen.”

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTMX5uGpVF

Another scroll opened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDOA1CFibc
