Chapter 261: The Second Star Gate Base!
The Noah's Ark that suddenly descended from the sky was so massive that from the moment it appeared, not only the people of the entire Mary Geoise but also those in the surrounding several Zones could see it.
For example, in the RL0001 Area, the basic construction of the New World Government Headquarters here has been completed and is now in the soft furnishing stage.
The overall structure looks like a three-dimensional Five Circle Cross Emblem. The five tall, cylindrical white buildings appear incredibly spectacular whether viewed from below or above.
There is also the CIPHER POL Headquarters in the RL1999 Area.
"What is that? It's so big..."
Hozumi, Blue Heart, and Mekko, who had just arrived by car with Captain Steve Gus, stopped in their tracks, startled by the sight in the sky.
Because the Noah's Ark was too large, its complete form couldn't be seen from below, but from its curved Ship Bottom, Gus, as a native of the Homeland, could guess it was a Ship.
Although the Ship Bottom was covered in dense Metal devices, their square shape clearly didn't resemble Cannons.
"If it falls down, won't we have nowhere to run?" Blue Heart, wearing a black dress, asked curiously.
"Shut up!"
Steve Gus's Expression changed. Although he didn't know what that ridiculously massive Ship was, it was clearly prepared for the Celestial Dragons.
"Remember this! You must be careful when Speaking here, otherwise, it wouldn't be strange if you were beaten to death one day because of your mouth!"
At the same time, he sighed inwardly, thinking that the Education of these Otherworlders needed to start as soon as possible. At the very least, they needed to have some understanding of the Common Sense of Planet Sea.
"Okay."
Seeing the Captain reveal such a terrifyingly stern Expression, the three of them felt a tightening in their Heart.
"Let's go, stop looking. You'll have plenty more to be shocked by!" Steve Gus gave a Shake Head and said no more, leading the way into the Headquarters Gate.
RL0003 District, where the Celestial Dragon Holy Palace Academy is located.
"Principal, is this Airship prepared for the Five Elders? Are they going on a long trip?" Rosinante looked at the giant White Ship in the sky through the Window.
"Perhaps."
The current Joker Family Head, the Silver-haired Elder, smiled lightly noncommittally but sighed inwardly.
"How could the Five Elders be worthy of enjoying this kind of Flying Vehicle, comparable to a traveling palace? It must be that Old Ancestor is going to Travel. After more than eight hundred years, has he finally grown restless from the stillness?"
At the same time.
Meanwhile, the Citizens of Saint Grace City and Saint Boon City in the RL0009 Area had all knelt down. They had been enslaved too deeply by the Celestial Dragons; upon seeing the golden Heavenly Soaring Dragon's Hoof, they couldn't help but tremble all over, unable to Stand Up under the Fear.
It could be said.
Centered around Holy Land Mariejois, people within ten Zones on either side could clearly see the Noah's Ark, showing just how exaggerated its massive Volume was.
To be honest, preparing such a large Airship just for Im's trip out was a bit too wasteful. It would be better to use it as the future Headquarters for the Air Force.
This wasn't what others thought, but Im's own current idea.
"Getting onto this Ship requires walking up two hundred meters of Steps..."
He was walking on the white Stairs connecting to the Deck, but they were simply too long and too high, essentially a 'Dock' specially made for the Noah's Ark.
At this moment, on both sides of the Stairs, every ten Steps stood a member of the Holy Land Garrison, holding a steel Spear, wearing full-coverage Armor, and a White Cloak behind them.
They weren't just there for Display; they would also board the Ship later.
To fill the Noah's Ark, the Five Elders had prepared a full thirty thousand Holy Land Garrison troops, responsible for patrol, sentry duty, operating Cannons, and other security work on the Ship.
There were also large numbers of service personnel in various areas such as Medical Treatment, cuisine, singing and dancing, Administration, Technology, Maids, etc. In addition, Cipher Pol also had a hundred Elite members accompanying the Ship, with Stussy serving as the Commanding Officer.
She was seen following behind Im, three Steps back, bowing her head respectfully.
To be honest.
Although she had brought the Noah's Ark, she was still shocked by the current scene. She suddenly realized that this 'Saint Nerona' might not be as simple as just a Five Elders Candidate.
[Thud]
The moment Im's foot finally stepped onto the Noah's Ark Deck, led by three 'Giant God Soldiers', all the Holy Land Garrison, CIPHER POL Black Suit Agents, and High-Level Government Officials present simultaneously knelt on one knee.
"Respectfully welcoming Lord Saint Nerona!"
"Respectfully welcoming Lord Saint Nerona!"
"Respectfully welcoming Lord Saint Nerona!"
Im felt a little surprised inwardly, but his surface remained calm as still water. He indifferently swept his gaze over the tens of thousands of lowered Heads in the entire area and responded with an extremely arrogant tone.
"Mm, you may disperse."
"Yes, Lord Saint Nerona!!"
The next moment, everyone uniformly Stood Up. The Holy Land Garrison quickly split into Squads and spread out to the various floors and corners of the Noah's Ark, while the Man in Black turned into Afterimages at high speed, disappearing from their spots to hide in the Darkness and monitor everywhere.
Soon.
In the Court, only Saul, Kashi, Oimo, and a few High-Ranking Officials remained. The former seemed to have planned it, with Kashi and Oimo guarding both sides of the Gate on the first floor of the Ship Tower.
Having these two Giants standing there, clad in Gold Red-Patterned Armor, holding Gold Red-Patterned Weapons, and wearing White Cloaks over their shoulders, truly highlighted the grandeur.
And Saul stood quietly beside them.
Immediately after, the High-Ranking Commanding Officers stepped forward, including Stussy behind them, and once again knelt on one knee, introducing themselves in respectful low voices with their heads bowed.
"I am Clement, the Holy Land Garrison Legion Commander!"
"I am Senior, the Administrative Director!"
"I am Willard, the Finance Director!"
"I am Robert, the Technical Director!"
"I am Hippocrates, the Medical Director!"
"I am Joël Robuchon, the Catering Director!"
"I am Beth, the Head Maid!"
"I am Stussy, the CIPHER POL Officer!"
These eight people were the highest Superiors responsible for managing the daily Order of the entire Noah's Ark for Im. After this segment, they could be considered to have become Familiarized with each other.
Subsequently.
Im then had them take their respective Positions and walked into the interior of the Ship Tower with Stussy, Senior, and Saul. He found that the first impression here was one of immense size, height, and width.
Everywhere he looked was pure white adorned with Gold patterns. The floor was covered with a top-grade Red Carpet that felt comfortable underfoot, and overhead hung one magnificent Crystal Lamp after another.
It was simply like walking into the most luxurious heavenly Castle.
"It seems I can live here long-term in the future. Compared to the Room of Authority, I really do prefer it here..." Im thought to himself as he walked towards the elevator leading to the higher floors.
Although the simulated Moon Surface and the vast Starry Sky were beautiful and atmospheric, that was the Style his 'previous self' liked. For him, it was a bit too empty and boring.
"But before I leave, I need to open the second Star Gate!"
He had informed the Five Elders about this the day before yesterday, so in that RL1554 Area, a large number of Workers and Equipment had already begun constructing the second Star Gate Base.
The most important thing here, of course, was the Biochemical Safety Station. Although the Kabaneri World was confirmed to have no Harmful Substances in its Air, no one could guarantee that the second World wouldn't either.
Once all of this was Ready, he would need to operate the Star Chart to activate the Star Gate, then place it inside the Biochemical Safety Station, and after that, hand over the full authority for its conquest to the World Government.
He believed that with the previous Experience, they would become more skilled and refined.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like this method of Travel is a bit different from what I originally envisioned..."
What Im had thought before was to only bring a few people, a kind of incognito visit mode, but this current situation was a bit too ostentatious.
Although he was operating under the Alias of Saint Nerona, he still felt the Display was a bit too grand.
However, he wasn't particularly averse to such a high-profile action. Although he was currently hidden behind the scenes of the World Government, it was impossible for him to keep himself locked in the Darkness forever.
