Chapter 139: I Hope This Letter Finds You Well
After spending a couple of minutes taking care of Auntie Midori, I, alongside Kampay went back to Kamatayan, I did not bother to go to the newly established Queendom of Urduja because I'm sure that Urduja would go to Kamatayan soon, even though she most probably knew that I am spying on her when she was negotiating for her independence, I need to act like I am not, you know politics and shit.
I don't like seeing Aoi Dodomeki either, that is because she just inserted a fucking book inside people's brains, meaning she can most definitely inject fake memories into people.
Strangely enough, the people in that room cannot infer such basic shit
_Also, her power counters illusion._
That is what I was thinking of as I stepped out of the 4th dimension, sure enough, I saw a piece of paper that had the same height and width as my table, it was pretty long content-wise and had a lot of signatures on it, also my name is on it, waiting for me to sign.
_Isn't declaring a document without the signages of designated authorities jumping around the due process? She's really from the same place as me._
I went to my seat, picked up a quill, signed my name on it, and then gave it to the messenger who was floating silently beside me all the time, Kampay has long stood guard outside the office, seemingly not wanting to infringe on the queenly matters that I have to do.
"My Lady, the messenger has stated that Queen Urduja will come to our Queendom to talk about the distribution of Gjallarhorn."
As I read the document for the Declaration of Independence, the messenger suddenly said as such, I looked at her for a minute before saying "Alright.", however, in my mind, I cannot help but think.
_There goes my plan for Gjallarhorn, it seems like the "logical development" will not allow me to destroy Gjallarhorn from the inside._
I sighed, I then said to the messenger to say my affirmation which was gracefully abided by the crosswise woman.
After which, I looked at the ceiling, one of my plans was to become stronger than Urduja before the invasion of Gjallarhorn, but I have a lot of things to do and this world's magical spells cannot contend with the raw power of the world's strongest human and all of the spells that I can think of is still not enough to match her power, even my brute force is below her.
It is a case of a sniper versus a nuclear bomb, you know who will win if those two things were to clash.
_I can use the arc reactor but I am creating those bombs for the war against Valentine, using it against one person is a waste of such a potent tactical weapon._
I once again sighed, Urduja is the only old person in this world that I am not confident in dealing with.
______
The next day, in the meeting room of my royal palace, I and Urduja were sitting, facing each other with textbook smiles on our faces. Well, there is no need to waste the word count here, Urduja demanded all of Gjallarhorn while I just retained my businesses there, which is quite infuriating if not for the fact that she's my mother-in-law and for the fact that I don't want to enter fights that I cannot win, so in the end, I agreed with a bargain that Auntie Midori will get immediate approval in buying any land she wants when developing my business, in which she agreed with terms that she will protect some parts of her land to any kind of purchasing attempt.
Also, I demanded for all the corpses of the previous King, specially the first up to the 4th Roselle Gjallarhorns to be mine, Urduja agreed, but to my surprise, she said that she doesn't know where are there tombs because the Royal family always makes her attend fake royal funerals, and the resting place of a king is not something of interest to her, so she never bothered to find them, I sighed in relief at that, this "logical development" situation would be hopeless if she knew where the kings were buried.
According to my simulation, at least.
This "war" is 100 or 0, there is nothing in between.
After all those negotiations, Urduja, or his [Photo], dispersed in a bunch of firefly-like lights, I cannot help but sigh.
_Just call it Sun Clones or something._
[3rd Person POV]
As Sophia was grumbling about how unnecessarily ambiguous the naming sense of her mother-in-law is, the whole world, especially the leaders of the major countries were hyperventilating by the news relayed to them in lightning-fast speed using an emergency message system common in the spy networks of the world, it follows the same principle as the one used by Hebi Tsukaiza, but not as mana efficient because of the long distance, nevertheless, such unrefined way of communication is enough to convey the message all major nation in the world of Pentateuch oh-so-dreads.
"Urduja Tawalisi declared independence! Gjallarhorn Lost its strongest fighter as well as the majority of the upper and middle brass of its military and executive branch!"
Such inconceivable loss to the strongest nation in the world was never seen before since its conception!
One should remember that, first, the orphanage of Urduja uses its resources to train orphans, talented or not to become either capable diplomats or strong fighters, and with the existence of Aoi Dodomeki, a person from one of the inherently intelligent races on the planet, they were able to create a comprehensive school system that made Tawalisi the treasure trove for future elite militants and civil servants.
Losing them basically meant that the backbone of Gjallarhorn was removed from them, because surely, with the way that the previous and current King alienates Urduja, she has not given them the advanced school system model her Queendom created.
Every single leader processed the information with bathed breaths, as they waited for Gjallarhorn's and of course, Kamatayan's reaction.

Royal Capital, Stardust Kingdom, The King of the white elves is sitting in his office writing a letter, suppressing the shaking of his hands to reveal his heavenly handwriting, such penmanship is not even in the "feminine" or "masculine" scale, it is truly the writing of the elves. As he finished the letter, the King, who had a deep frown on his face looked at the secretary in front of him, he then rolled up the letter and put it in a ring with his royal stamp on its head.
"Bring this to Kamatayan and present it to their queen, say to her that this is our final diplomatic protest, and if she does not conform to our requests, we will use force to make her compromise."
Seeing his king so frustrated, the secretary gulped as he affirmed his understanding of the command and left for the journey of his. The King looked at the back of his servant, his frown did not diminish even for a bit.
"I have to stop Sophia and Urduja from uniting... but the undeads in the frontline, suddenly became hard to deal with, so hard it is that I have to personally take charge in commanding while Sophia is still in her capital... Don't tell me I have to move this forward prematurely."
The king of elves muttered so to himself as he stood up and removed his cassock, he then put on his glasses and put on a lab gown, there was a stylized graphic of an elf on the back of the gown, signifying the allegiance of anyone who wears it. After wearing his lab gown, the king went in front of a portrait of an elven beauty, one so beautiful that people could not even look at her with lust and could only admire her from afar, the king looked at the portrait as if it was his beloved before opening it to reveal a stairs leading to an underground basement.
Upon entering, he immediately saw artificial amniotic fluid chambers on the right and left of the long and spacious hallway, which the king gracefully ignored as he arrived at such a container, it has two times the height of what he saw in the hallway, in there a red-haired man is floating silently, and in the foot of the chamber is a label that reads: "King Tydings"
All the elven scientists in the room bowed at him as they prepared the clipboards in their hands for the monthly reports of their most classified project, the first elf was just about to stand up to report their findings to the King of Tydings as well as the other experimental subjects when a loud crash was suddenly heard above the basement.
"What is that?"
The scientist frowned, after all, the underground lab of the royal palace was supposed to be soundproof, hearing such a crash meant either it was breached or the crash was so strong it broke the upper limit of the spell, but the King coaxed their worry as he said.
"You are here already? It's been just 10 minutes, is there any logistical problems that you have faced?"
The secretary toppled over the hallway as his king said those words, yet he did not reply, dread could be seen on his face, as he looked at his monarch, the king was puzzled by this display, and he inquired.
"What's wrong?"
The secretary did not speak for a long time, seemingly trying to process complicated information, only after five minutes did he manage to stammer.
"She... So... Sophia... Queen Sophia... After I reached the exit of the palace, the 4th dimension appeared in my feet and I fell into it... and then... and then, she read the protest in front of me and then said that she would personally deliver a response..."
The king went silent for a little while, not understanding the dread of his subordinate, but soon, his eyes went wide as fear and anger emerged on his face.
"My Lord... there is a possibility... that Sophia Demiurge, not only entered our kingdom without detection... but also explored so deep into our royal palace..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The secretary bowed down on the spot, not daring to say anything whilst picturing what could have happened when Sophia, who had defeated one of the strongest mortals of the planet visited their kingdom ready to throw hands, and as he did a small rip in space appeared in front of the king, after which a letter folded into an envelope dropped on it, the king caught it and with a grave expression opened it up.
There is an illustration of an arm with the middle finger raised inscribed without any words, the elves in the back saw such an illustration and know what it implied.
The king who is the one who received the finger gritted his teeth, several veins became visible on his forehead as his eyes glowed and a magic circle was drawn on his pupils, burning the letter into cinders.
"Sophia...!"
_________
"In the end, I made the right decision."
In Mayari's imperial capital, a council meeting is being held by the emperor, he sighed in relief as he was able to properly make his good intentions towards Sophia clear way before the alliance between Kamatayan and the newly established Urduja was formed, of course, he is not so arrogant to think that Sophia was not able to see through the fact that he has foreseen this sequence of events, what he was being relieved about is the fact that he did not try to stop such an alliance, unlike his brother, the emperor of Apolaki who is now colluding with Valentine.
The Emperor cannot help but smile.
"He must be punching the air right now."
_______
Indio, the command center of the rebels, Luna is looking at the letter given to her by Arachne, she is puzzled about why is she given such information, which makes her look at Arachne intently, Arachne, who is finding ways to escape her enslavement towards her fake master rolled her eyes seeing such low political acumen to such a military genius like Luna herself, she explained.
"It means that Urduja along with her children and wives will be our allies in this war."
Luna's eyes widened, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"That's a great news."
_______
At the same time, when these people are having several reactions, the king and queen of Valentine also receive the information, they two look at each other as they sit at a long table with only the two of them present, and soon, Eris and Loki smile.
"The time is near."
All individual leaders of Genesis have differing reactions on such a huge matter, of course, the other 4 continents of the world are not an exemption, because even though they do not have the same level of clout in Genesis as the ones native to the land, they sure as hell wants to have a piece of cake of the fat resources inside Gjallarhorn, however, it was too bad that not all of them can fight for the said resources against the world's strongest human.
Except of course to the man known to lead the Leviticus continent.
Mizukuni Mamorite.
