Chapter 296: Alien Strategy Committee!
Sea Star Home World, Red Line Zone RL1995, Alien Strategy Committee Headquarters.
A floor covering a full five hundred square meters served as the Command Center here. Twenty Visual Den Den Mushi projected a wide wall of Virtual Screens into the air.
At the same time, a group of Technicians wearing Headphones sat behind the control consoles, either monitoring the screens they were responsible for or communicating softly with someone.
The sound of typing keyboards was the main melody here.
The Screen Feeds on these Virtual Screens showed ten important targets in the Kabaneri World, such as Kongokaku, Yashiro Station, and the Star Gate Base, while the other ten were related to the second Stargate World.
Among them were surveillance feeds of the situation around the other end of the Star Gate, as well as live broadcasted Footage from Exploration personnel.
Monitoring two Worlds simultaneously, one could see the Potential and power of this 'Otherworld Committee' from here.
Because the World Government's official Writing was English language, it naturally also had an exclusive term, 'Alien Strategy Committee', abbreviated as 'ASC'.
The general meaning was 'Alien Strategy Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau'.
Although its emblem superficially looked like just the World Government Symbol in black on a white background, which was very ordinary, a closer look would reveal that the five spheres contained spiral black star clusters.
The deeper meaning within was self-evident.
"It seems this is a quite lively Japanese Style Country."
Kong Ming, wearing a green-patterned yellow robe paired with a White Justice Coat and holding a Feather Fan, looked at the scene of several brightly lit Night Markets with a dense Flow of People, appearing quite happy.
A place as lifeless as the Kabaneri World was truly uninteresting.
Cipher Pol dispatched ten Squads, centering on the Great Forest where the Star Gate was located, spreading out in all directions to infiltrate.
This resulted in some Teams still wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, while others had already discovered villages, towns, or large Cities with dense Populations.
"Although most people wear Kimonos, some are wearing Suits. Looking at the Electric Lights, Cars, and Trams, this World's Technology level is much higher than the Kabaneri World."
Another Vice Chairman, Bulwer Gabriel, said, followed immediately by Chairman Fernandez, who was seated at the head of the Meeting Table.
"I saw some shop signs written in English language. Coupled with the feedback from Exploration personnel who can understand the Japanese Language of these Otherworlders, it seems Communication won't be a concern."
"However, there is one Matter worth our special attention. The geographical Environment of this New World seems similar to the Kabaneri World. This has been confirmed by the Kabaneri World side; at least Mount Fuji and the Great Forest are the same!"
"Most importantly, the Country in this New World is called Japan..." Speaking up to this point, the Chairman's tone was quite surprised.
Hinamoto and Japan, different Worlds, yet only a single character difference. This was indeed quite miraculous.
After hearing this, Kong Ming said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, does that mean the Map of the Kabaneri World is also applicable to this Japan?"
"Also, the Ore Vein locations and the various Continents Overseas. The difference between the two is that this World doesn't have the Kabane Swarm, so it has preserved the complete Civilizations of various Countries."
Chairman Fernandez and the other four Vice Chairmen exchanged glances, all feeling that his conjecture was highly probable. If it were true, the Difficulty of subsequent Exploration would significantly decrease.
"I believe our next focus should be on this World's Military level and international relations. After all, the World Government's Opponent will always only be another Whole World."
"Chairman, Captain Raschi's Live Broadcast Screen Feed is coming in!"
Just as Kong Ming finished speaking, not far away, a Technician reported.
These Higher-ups Big Shots quickly looked over. However, what appeared first was not Lucci's voice as expected, but a scene of three people fiercely fighting in the Street under the Moonlight.
Soon, they recognized the pink-clothed, short-skirted girl holding a Short Musket, because not long ago these people had discussed whether or not to let this twelve-year-old girl participate in the first batch of Exploration Missions.
After a final Vote, they still let her go. The reason was that a twelve-year-old girl was easier to make people lower their guard in certain aspects.
Furthermore, Mumei was not an ordinary little girl; she was a 'Nue' form Kabaneri Warrior. As for humanitarian issues, Kong Ming had mentioned them, but they were clearly not given importance by others.
After all, she was just an Otherworlder.
"This World also has Monsters? And that Blade-wielding young man's Swordsmanship..."
Kong Ming was surprised and spoke first. As the Military representative here, he was clearly more concerned about these potentially dangerous Otherworld existences.
"Strange, too strange. That young man's performance in all aspects clearly hasn't reached the level of a Sword Master, so why can he unleash Sword Aura?"
However, immediately, all the Chairmen, Vice Chairmen, and personnel within the Command Center were astonished by the White Demon's extremely Strong Limbs Self-Healing Ability.
Limbs that were cut off could immediately grow new ones. Even being shot through the abdomen with a Gun could recover in an instant. When Mumei, under Lucci's Order, first struck through the White Demon's Heart and Head, and saw that it was still unharmed, the entire place suddenly fell silent.
What kind of thing was this?
If this White Demon had displayed some kind of Superpower, they might not have been so shocked, but this Self-Healing Regeneration Ability, which was close to immortality, was different.
This kind of thing couldn't even be done by people who had mastered Life Return or Zoan Awakened Users!
"Capture it Alive!"
Chief of Staff Fernandez slammed the Meeting Table and Stood Up abruptly, staring excitedly at the White Demon on the Virtual Screen.
"We must send it to the Biochemical Research Institute to Research the Secret of its Self-Healing Regeneration Ability! This way, we won't be troubled by disabilities anymore!"
However, the subsequent development greatly angered him. Lucci actually Ordered Mumei to kill the White Demon with that Nichirin Blade.
"What is he doing? Doesn't he Understand the Value of this Monster?!"
"Please don't rush, I have a Feeling that this kind of Monster called Demon shouldn't be the only one." Vice Chairman Marlon Wilfred, formerly the Vice Minister of the Finance Department, who was sitting on the right side of the Meeting Table, advised.
"Moreover, since it can be killed, it indicates that it still has significant flaws itself."
Next, through the perspective of the Visual Den Den Mushi in Lucci's hand, Mumei and Gu Shiwen were seen walking under a large tree and starting to talk.
It was mainly Gu Shiwen speaking, and Mumei listening.
Their Dialogue was first transmitted from Mumei's Earphone to the Earphone that Lucci had intentionally placed near the Transponder Snail. From there, it was transmitted by the Transponder Snail to the Transponder Snail placed within the Star Gate camp in the Sea of Trees, and finally reached the Command Center on the Sea Star Mainland along that thick, long black line.
"Listen up, cough cough. So-called Demons are Man-Eating Demons. They are terrifying Monsters created by the 'Demon Progenitor' Muzan Kibutsuji a thousand years ago!"
"Their Physical Ability is very Strong. Both their Strength and Speed far exceed Humans, and their Muscle Density is relatively high. Ordinary Blades cannot cause damage at all."
"The most troublesome thing, as you saw before, is that they possess the Self-Healing Ability to change their form at will and easily recover their Body. It is said that some Demons also possess a certain Superpower called 'Blood Demon Art', although I haven't seen it yet..."
