“Heh, as noble as it may sound, it would be amazing if all the mysterious powers had such a goal. There is no organization that helps with just such a pure, noble will in this world, much less the unknown one.” One of the higher-ups jerked sarcastically.

“???” Elysia failed to spot someone who had just spoken, but someone immediately answered the quip with another.

“For weak creatures, your mouth is big too, old timer. If we want something, we will take it clearly, without the need to do anything complicated. Dirty schemes and tricks are only for the weak. I believe you know what happened last month about the Underworld incident. Is your brain too stupid to realize the place you live isn’t the only world?” Darkness wasn’t just being sarcastic but blatantly insulting.

“What? Are you part of the Guardian of Dream?” Another higher-up gasped, but he needed to confirm the other party’s identity first.

“We are emissaries from the Inter-Realm Association that cooperates with the Guardian of Dream. What has happened in the past month has made it impossible for us to let matters escalate further. Some of you created chaos in the world, and even entered into contracts with evil things like demons.” Fortuna folded her arms and scanned everyone in the room. She spotted several former participants who have not been punished by Earth Mother.

Fortuna’s statement made the people in the room question themselves and suspect several others. They had heard the news, but they couldn’t confirm it for sure.

Apart from all that, it turned out that it was not only the Guardian of Dream… there was also another association that was no less mysterious.

“Inter-realm? Are you from another world?” One of them asked somewhat hesitantly.

“Not entirely true, but Earth has many alternate dimensions, another realm.” Fortune responded casually.

“What do you mean by that?” Another person asked.

“You can’t understand because you don’t deserve to know yet. You need great power to know more than the secrets of the world.” Fortuna looked at the person who was speaking.

“Wow, so you’re from another realm? It’s not Underworld, right? Take me there sometime. I want to visit another realm besides Underworld. I’m strong, so I deserve to know more, right?” Victorious puffed out her chest with pride.

“It depends on how you behave. You are a spirit bird who grew up with a human in a contract. Your loyalty to your country prevents us from treating you as a free entity like you speak of. We’ll be watching you, Demi-God spirit bird.” Fortuna squinted her eyes.

“Whoa, don’t be so fierce. The one I had a contract with is long dead. The great kingdom that I built with him has also changed into a new era. I have no reason to serve his lineage because it should be otherwise. I’m a world’s hero, you know?” Victorious once again puffed out her chest.

“You just colonized another land from hundreds of years ago. Do you think your former master’s goal was a noble one? Uniting the world for eternal peace, that is a ridiculous and foolish reason for you to believe. Human hearts can be as black as ink and more terrifying than demons. Don’t you realize why you were not recorded in history and instead put to sleep after the Great Empire was formed?” Fortuna stated the truth with a meaningful question at the end of the sentence.

“…” Victorious went silent. She actually had realized it, but she didn’t want to think about it. That was why she would become a free spirit, not bound by any nation’s laws and rules.

*Bam!*

A senator from the British group hit the table in annoyance. “Don’t talk nonsense, woman!”

“Am I telling a lie? That is the truth, and that’s why I need to confirm whether Victorious still believes in you or not, but apparently she has doubts. That’s why she doesn’t want to listen to you but is hesitant to leave your country.” Fortuna smirked and inflicted a bit of pressure on her sentence. She made the other party couldn’t refute her.

The tremendous pressure then spread throughout the room. Fortuna then continued her speech. “Also, I’m not talking to you, so please keep quiet if you don’t know anything.”

After that, the entire room fell into silence. Fortuna deliberately did that as a plan to stop those annoying humans from talking too much.

It was noon, exactly at twelve o’clock local time. The door suddenly opened. The American group came just in time on purpose.

*Tap*

A man in the special military uniform typical of a Great General walked into the conference room. On his first step into the room, he exerted his dominance with tremendous pressure on everyone.

The entire room’s atmosphere seemed to turn red, and the floor was somehow shrouded in a pitch-black mist. Every step Great General America took created a jolt in the black fog, and the Demi-God pressure started to suffocate everyone.

However, the people behind him were not affected. They didn’t even feel the intimidating pressure.

Fortuna’s previous pressure was to silence everyone, but this was really to intimidate and pressure everyone. Unfortunately, that kind of pressure couldn’t affect Elysia’s group.

“!!!” All the higher-ups tried their best to endure that tremendous intimidating pressure.

Some of the others also tried to protect their talented youngsters who were present with them. Unfortunately, some individuals who couldn’t stand the pressure suddenly fainted.

‘That’s him? But, that dark creature…’ Elysia could see a huge black scary-looking creature behind that Great General.

That creature was like a huge shadow grinning super wide. Apart from the shadow, only the creatures’ white-fanged teeth were visible.

‘Yeah, that’s him. American Demi-God Man. He has a contract with a humanoid demon called Shadow Clone. He is a stand user, that’s what Lifa gets from breaking into their intel information.’ Elena spoke from within the Elysian Realm.

‘Meh, it’s just a weak demon, Ely. My Cherub can be much more intimidating, and this darkness is nothing.’ Ai felt a little disappointed because the party that challenged them turned out to be just an anchovy pretending to be a dragon.

‘Hehe, everyone will panic if they see a real dark dragon, Ai. Let’s let Lady Tifa settle this matter. She asked to leave all this to her, after all.’ Elysia chuckled in her mind.

‘Hmm, alright then. I’ll just watch everything from your shadow, Ely. Right, Cherub?’ Ai felt calm, but the plan that had been devised would be too overkill for the anchovy. She was wondering whether Lady Tifa would do as planned or not.

‘Rawr!’ Cherub responded in agreement.

‘Sylvi, please throw something at the shadow demon behind that pirate captain.’ Lifa glanced at Sylvia.

‘Leave it to me. He is more like a pirate than the Great General.’ Sylvia was pretty amused. The Demi-God human who challenged them was apparently a fat man with a thick beard who wore an eye patch like a pirate.

The devil princess got an assignment and took out a fresh fish from her Space Bag. She then threw it at the big shadow demon.

“!?” The shadow demon noticed a fresh fish flying towards him. He opened his mouth full of sharp fangs and crushed the fish.

The fresh fish was eaten, and that scene happened in front of everyone. Unfortunately, only a few individuals above rank six could catch a glimpse of the shadow demon when he materialized himself to devour the fish.

*Crunch*

The crisp sound of the fresh fish being chewed by something unknown was clearly heard.

“…” The Demi-God General glanced back with a frown.

“Oops.” The shadow demon spoke in a mosquito-like voice and covered his mouth.

The mischievous devil princess again threw a fresh fish at the shadow demon. However, her target ignored the fish, and it landed on the Demi-God General’s head instead.

*Poof*

Lifa swung her arm sideways in a gentle motion. She dispelled the black mist domain with just a single move.

“Is that your attitude? You came in late and are still trying to show off your pathetic dominance. Hurry and take your seat as the meeting is about to begin.” Lifa spoke in an authoritative tone.

“So, you are the strongest one in your organization?” The Demi-God General squinted his eyes and stared at the masked lady.

“Was my word unclear?” Lifa clasped her hand on the table. All the characters were already present, and she would solve all problems beautifully.

Right after that, the people who had fainted fell down. People from their respective countries immediately helped those who had fainted on the spot.

Almost everyone was annoyed and furious, but they thought twice before voicing their annoyance because the other party was a Demi-God.

However, they immediately remembered the Guardian of Dream and the Inter-Realm Association were already there. The masked lady, the representative of the Guardian of Dream, was able to dispel that oppressive pressure with just a swing of her hand. Because of that, some people immediately voiced their complaints.

“How dare you, Jack Vazquez! Is that a declaration of war!?” One senator was furious. He soon received support from several higher-ups from other countries.

“It was just a little bit of my aura that radiated out without me noticing. You are so weak to feel pressured, and why did you bring the weaklings with you? Don’t you think you might not be able to come back?” Jack ignored the complaints and threats directed at him. He then took the fresh fish off his head and chewed it raw like it was nothing.

America’s entourage then went to their seats as the meeting and discussions were about to begin.
