Chapter 81: Human Alliance is about to form

As soon as Arthur muttered that, Sebas shut off the camera according to Arthur’s prior instructions. Arthur didn’t want to reveal his secret of creating powerful generals and building the shadow army to the world just yet.

Dark shadow energy suddenly started leaking out from Atlas’s body. Within moments, a shadowy figure resembling Atlas appeared in front of everyone, standing silently with the same overwhelming presence he had possessed before.

Arthur’s 10 cousins were completely dumbfounded as they watched the process. The mighty overlord, whose mere pressure had almost immobilized them moments ago, had now become a Shadow General under Arthur.

[Name: Atlas

Level: 0

Grade: God

Strength: 100000

Agility: 30000

Defence: 50000

Vitality: 70000

Skills: Wrath of the Sea God, Absolute Water Manipulation]

Arthur was slightly dumbfounded as he stared at Atlas’s statistics. They were actually on par with his own, despite the fact that Atlas was only Level 0.

"Fuck!" Arthur cursed under his breath.

With a God Grade Foundation, if he leveled Atlas up to Level 15 like his other generals, Atlas would gain another 240,000 attribute points.

"What the actual heck? Then wouldn’t he become even more powerful than me?" Arthur was completely speechless.

Atlas was a being from Aethelgard, so he had never possessed a level before. The strength displayed on his status panel was his natural base strength, which had now been converted into his stats after becoming a Shadow General.

Suddenly, Arthur’s eyes lit up as a thought flashed through his mind. The Kaijus were probably monsters from this world as well.

If he could turn those Kaijus into his generals, wouldn’t they become just as powerful as Atlas?

A sudden feeling of enlightenment washed over Arthur, as if a divine door of understanding had just opened before him.

"Good, good, good." Arthur repeated the word three times, his eyes shining with excitement.

Then he looked toward the kneeling Atlas, his newest Shadow General, and calmly issued his command.

"You will be the commander of the Shadow Army from now on, and Kaiser will be the vice commander."

"As you wish, my king." Both Atlas and Kaiser bowed respectfully.

"Atlas, take me to the Atlantian Empire. I want to know about the history of Aethelgard," Arthur finally stated his desire.

"Please follow me, sire." Atlas bowed before turning around and leading them toward a particular direction.

Meanwhile, inside the international conference room, everyone was still standing in sheer shock after witnessing the battle.

"What kind of godly battle was that just now?" Everyone seemed to have the same question running through their minds.

"But why is the camera off?" one of the presidents suddenly asked.

"Hmph! What kind of camera could possibly withstand such powerful shockwaves? Don’t always think with your ass. Sometimes try using your brain," another world leader mocked.

"What did you say?" The mocked world leader’s face immediately turned red with anger and embarrassment.

"Everyone, now you know who Darklord is and what he is capable of. Now, let us begin the main discussion." Sofia took over the meeting, and everyone from Arvia, including the president himself, looked at her and gave her permission to take the lead.

The other world leaders also turned their attention toward her with curiosity.

"Do we have anything else to discuss?" one president asked. They still didn’t know what Arthur had told the higher-ups of the Arvian government.

"Yes. The first and foremost issue is that the game is about to merge with reality in around 19 days." Sofia finally dropped the atomic bomb.

The entire room instantly fell silent. The information was simply too enormous for their minds to process.

After a moment, someone suddenly looked at Sofia and roared, "What did you say?"

...

Three hours passed.

Every world leader in the room was now sweating heavily. The information they had received was simply too horrifying to accept.

"Are you absolutely certain that all of this is about to happen? I mean, this seems impossible," one president said, unable to believe his own ears.

The world would be plunged into chaos. Monsters would appear, nuclear radiation would kill humans, animals would mutate into monsters, and countless other disasters would follow.

Sofia raised the corner of her mouth slightly. "I wouldn’t dare take the risk of not believing it. The Genesis Realm didn’t make sense in the first place, but now it has become our reality. So this can also become real."

"Go and take your time before giving us your answer. The Human Alliance is mandatory, as are the fortress cities. As for the president, we will make him the president of the alliance. He won’t take any official responsibility, but his name alone will keep the alliance stable."

Sofia proposed everything they had already decided beforehand. She expected the world leaders to take some time before giving their answers, and she wasn’t worried.

Even if they all decided not to believe her, Arvia would still follow Arthur’s arrangements alone.

"Then let’s discuss the foundation of the alliance," a president suddenly said, his expression turning resolute.

Soon, his statement was agreed upon by the majority of the people in the room. Though some still had doubts, the Genesis Realm alone was enough to justify an alliance.

Otherwise, the players from different countries would soon begin fighting each other, and the entire world could turn into a graveyard.

None of them were saints. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to conquer other countries, but the strongest player belonged to the country that had proposed the alliance.

If they denied the proposal and such a power struggle really began, would they be able to fight against a godlike player backed by an entire country?

There was no fucking way.

Therefore, they decided to create the Alliance even faster than Arvia had originally expected.

"Good." Sofia nodded.

"And one more thing. Darklord said he would buy your currency for 5 billion Arvian dollars for 1 Divine Gold. As much as you can take out," Sofia said, conveying what Arthur had previously asked her to arrange.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

If the game was actually going to merge with reality, then what value would the current currencies of the world have?

They would become nothing more than trash, while he was actually willing to buy them for half the price of the system shop’s exchange rate.

Was he really this generous?

Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up with intense greed. They had to exchange as much of their countries’ currencies into Divine Gold as possible.

But could Darklord really afford such a huge sum of money?

"Darklord has over 50,000 Legendary Items, and he has his own way of obtaining more." Sofia dropped another nuclear bomb. And this was enough to wash away all of their doubts.

"General Sofia, what kind of man is darklord? Do you think he would like my 15-year-old daughter? She is a world-toppling beauty, just like yourself," a president suddenly asked, his eyes shining with hope.

"Shameless bastard."

"What a sly old fox."

"Disgusting."

The other world leaders immediately cursed at him.

But soon, their own eyes turned red with greed.

"My niece is 18 and the most beautiful girl in our family."

"Huh? Can they even hold a candle to my granddaughter? I’ll send her here tomorrow."

The military officers of the Arvian government all facepalmed after seeing the shamelessness of these world leaders.

But could they really blame them? They themselves had behaved exactly like this and would probably continue doing so.

However, that wasn’t why they were facepalming. It was because these idiots had asked the question to the wrong person.

Who didn’t know that Sofia was a simp for Darklord?

As expected, a cold aura suddenly gushed out from her body, and the entire room fell silent.

"If you ever say something like this again, I’ll make sure you never get in contact with him. Am I clear?" she said slowly, yet every world leader felt as if death was looming over their heads.

"Yes, yes, we understand. Now, please, let’s discuss the future."

...

Inside the ocean, Arthur and everyone else finally arrived in front of the capital of the Atlantian Empire.

However, a massive barrier was already protecting the entire capital.

Atlas scratched his shadowy head in embarrassment. After all, he had personally ordered his subordinates to put up this barrier before his death.

"Sire, please allow me to break the barrier for you," Atlas said respectfully with a bow.

"No." Arthur immediately denied his request.

Then he looked toward Cris.

"This should be a formation. Go and open the barrier from the outside," he calmly ordered.

Arthur needed to make his cousins competent through their own abilities, rather than allowing them to simply ride his coattails all the way to success.

"As you wish, big brother." Cris spoke in a resolute tone before stepping forward.

He appeared infront of the barrier and touched it before his body started glowing with a soft light under the dark water.

He closed his eyes as if he was trying to communicate with the formation it self.
