Lord Shadow

Chapter 1362 The Four Great Powers

　　Around him is his bodyguard, the wind caresses his long neatly tied hair. Psionic force emanated from him, deflecting the turbulent energy that is surrounding the ship

　　And he is not the only high ranking members of the World Government.

　　There is General Jesse who usually oversaw the base in Europe. He is one of Raymond most trusted person and a member of the Quorum Council. 

　　There is also Nick known to many as the Eye of God. He is known to have a sniper gun that could snipe people across space and time 

　　This kind of ability manifested after he reached the Disk Formation pinnacle realm. This is also someone from the Raymond faction.

　　It is weird seeing these people without Raymond. 

　　But it is clear how important the World Government seem to attach to this sea expedition that one General and a Disk Formation in the pinnacle realm is dispatched to follow Hirate 

　　There is even the Holy Maiden Giselle on board with her Acolytes. 

　　The pirate ships that was leaving the sea could see a large fleet entering the domain of the Turbulent Sea and with the flag of the World Government, the news that the World Government had send its fleet makes it way all over the world in an instant

　　And when the world finds out that Hirate, the President of the World government is the one leading the expedition, everyone was surprised.

　　Without Hirate at the Island of Peace, some people feared that the World Government headquarters would be attacked

　　And the people is also feel wielded out by the sudden appearance of Hirate in the world

　　Hirate had long not be seen in public

　　Hirate was the one that informed everyone that the culprit of the Multiversal Convergence is Loki the Trickster.

　　Until today, many people still didn't understand why Pandemonium and World Government did not go to war. 

　　They have gone to war with each other for reason less than this but this time weirdly enough even after Hirate publicized the matter of Loki, Death Monarch did not declare war and did not even attack Hirate.

　　Some people believed that there is a cover up. That there is a hidden story about what truly happens during the Multiversal Convergence

　　But it is easily shot down by the World Government, telling people to stop believing in conspiracy theories. 

　　Since that announcement, President Hirate rarely shows his face to the public. 

　　And Raymond has also been missing. 

　　Many believe that Raymond is now attempting to break through to Divine Comprehension and that is why he is not present in the World Government right now. 

　　It is a different case from what happen to Pandemonium with Death Monarch who goes to another world in another dimension entirely. 

　　The World Government is at an odd position right now. 

　　Of the three original world powers, it is only the World Government that did not have a Divine Comprehension leveler residing inside the force

　　The Republic had Jean the Time Monarch.  And Pandemonium has Death Monarch. As for Hikigaya, the Empire of Japan had cut their ties with the World Government. 

　　If this was before Hikigaya become a Divine Comprehension leveler, Hirate would send an army to force Japan to enter back the World Government

　　But doing that right now is basically a thankless job. Even if the World Government managed to force Hirate to a draw, the calculation of the manpower and the resources that they need to use to force Hikigaya to retract back the statement is enormous. 

　　That would set back the World Government for decades. 

　　This is one of the factors why the current climate of the World Government is very gloomy. 

　　While some other nations and kingdoms are still under the rule of the World Government, with Japan seceding from the World Government, the Quorum Council had to take drastic measures

　　There is also Greece ruled by the Seven Warlords that is allying itself with Japan. 

　　Japan current power is that it is independent but still retains some of the benefits as they are the founder members of the World Government and there is always a chance for them rejoin back into the fold. 

　　Hirate was busy calming down the more unstable voices in the World Government and there is also the rebuilding of nations.

　　Europe was badly destroyed during the war some historical sites was wiped out almost entirely. With the geography also changes, there is the conflict between the world powers that shares border like where do they draw the lines of their territory. 

　　Some places are easy to recognize but how to define till where that the land expands? 

　　The border dispute right now is ignored by everybody since if everyone is disputing about it, there would be a war between the world powers right now

　　So, for the moment, it is ignored. 

　　But it had to be addressed sooner or later.

　　Regardless of the fact that everyone has enough land that they could create hundreds of countries and still have more lands that is no used, this is for the future.

　　Lines had to be drawn and the border need to be finalized

　　There was however a delegation from Pandemonium that spoke with Hirate and Boris and a few others high ranking member of the other world powers regarding the border dispute during the early days of Death Monarch absence.

　　This is probably one the back hands that Death Monarch had prepared before going to the Seresian world. 

　　Then there is also the relocation process, distribution of resources to the people and the pacifying of the many regions from otherworldly invaders that was left behind or the monster that managed to slip into this world during the Multiversal Convergence

　　So, Hirate appearance was unexpected. 

　　The fact that the President himself going on the voyage shows that they were sincere.  Nobody knows what Hirate wanted to talk about with Death Monarch

　　But whatever it is, it must be something important and whatever the result of that discussion, it would surely be earth shaking.

　　Of course, the people of the world could only wait with bated breath to the conclusion of this matter. 

　　Six months is long but it is also short. People did not yet heal from the scars of the previous wars. Nobody wanted another war especially a pointless one.

　　And unlike nations from before the Fall, government could rarely enforce their citizens to fight for them

　　These experts are powerful people that could simply fly up to the air and leave Earth if they want to

　　The only way for them to make people want to fight for them is to create a sense of belonging to their factions and no one did this better than the World Government and Pandemonium. 

　　Now, the Republic had made its moves, and the World Government follow suit.

　　What about the League of Freedom, Order of Thinkers, Lotus Order and the African Alliance? 

　　  As for the other four great powers, they did not make a move toward the Turbulent Sea.

　　Even though they are all collectively under the umbrella of the title of the Seven Great Powers, the relationship between the four new powers and Pandemonium s quite awkward.

　　Hirate had met Death Monarch many times and even though they were at times, enemies, rivals they have tone down the hostility and there is now goodwill between these two powers. 

　　There is connection there. 

　　As for the Republic, even though many of the Senators of the Senate themselves never met Death Monarch, everyone knows the complicated and vague relationship that Death Monarch have with their High Chancellor so there is also a connection there

　　But as for the other four great powers, there is nothing connecting them. 

　　They were propped up by Pandemonium to restrain the Republic and the World Government. That was their role and that was their reason for existing at that time. 

　　Of course. they have gone a long way since then and the four great powers had managed to pacify the regions that they were in charge of

　　It was not a stable as the Big Three but they have managed to survive and be worthy of the title of a great power

　　The League of Freedom did not send ships. It is expected

　　There is no reason to and sending it would be seen as weird. 

　　Narleod the leader of the league of Freedom once been punished by Death Monarch when he tired made a deal with Death Monarch

　　Narleod is known to be a little bit crazy. 

　　His face is bandaged with white bandage all the time. 

　　In the past, these white bandages are only simple bandages that could be easily ripped apart. 

　　But as he grows stronger, the white bandages on his face which makes him looks like a mummy is kind of his trademark and the bandages that covers his face is also upgraded

　　Not only it could wrap around his enemies, the bandages also seem to have poison smeared all over. 

　　There is a fear when meeting this madman. But if he is truly a madman people would not follow him. His madness has a purpose and for that reason the League of Freedom still stands. 

　　As for him not wanting to send ships, many people said it is because that he is afraid of Death Monarch. 

　　No matter how crazy Narleod seems to be, at least he is not crazy enough to provoke Death Monarch. 

　　And the League of Freedom like the rest of the other world powers are busy right now not to mention the detailed scrutiny on them after it was revealed that they and the World government have a joint military device on the Moon. 

　　But just because they don't send ships to the Turbulent Sea did not mean that they did not make any moves at all.

　　League of Freedom must have their own plans. 

　　But they are also very secretive. And everyone knows that the silence that they showed to the world does not necessarily means that this is their stance. 

　　The calmest water is the most dangerous.
