Chapter 482: Steering the Wheel (2) (2/2)

Some of them were wearing military uniforms while some were in suits. Some were leading Headquarters like this while some were closely working near the government.

They represented the highest echelon in the EDA and they're the only ones who reached the 5th Realm of their Mortal Pathways. They're weak, of course. But at the moment, apart from the Heroes and the old fossils' group, they're the strongest Earthlings.

After accepting that salute since it's a hassle to stop them again, I brought Yumiko and Jayna with me as we were led to a conference room they prepared.

As soon as we were all seated, with us at the head of the long table, General Yamada stood up and saluted once more before announcing the result of my order yesterday.

”Every government body is now under our control. As well as the various media that are disseminating information to the public. It isn't in the news but you can start giving your orders on which direction we are going to steer them.”

”Great. For the first order of business… Get a hold of every military body and integrate them into the EDA. There's no point letting them make their own army. For now, we're unifying the world. After Earth successfully transitioned to the new era where everyone was familiar with Earth Energy… That's the time when you can create your own influences or even factions. We don't care. What's a world without conflict, right?”

Upon hearing my words, everyone could be seen gulping down their saliva.

It's human nature. They're not like those Heroes who were specially chosen because of their Heroic tendencies. For sure, at the current structure of the EDA, there's already a lot of factions emerging that are pursuing their own agenda.

They're just being careful at the moment because there's a lot of stronger entities that could crush them. Especially that sly old man.

But Humans will continue being humans with their inherent Seven Deadly Sins. Once the Earth stabilizes, it will just be the same as the other worlds where there's always a divide.

Because they're starting to become restless, I opened my Transcendent Aura and subjected these EDA Officers in it.

As soon as they felt it, all of them began sweating as the veins in their heads popped out in their attempt to resist it.

A few seconds later, I deactivated it and clapped once.

”If any of you were thinking of controlling a nation for your self-interest. Let that be the warning.”

As their bodies became relieved by the pressure of my Transcendent Aura, each of them immediately muttered at their seats.

”No… We never thought of…”

”That's impossible…”

”We've sworn before being sent to…”

Although their words were different from each other, it all meant one thing. That they're not thinking of doing what I said.

”I believe you won't yet so let's leave it at that. Let's move on. How are the captives?”

I waved my hand and all of them settled in their seats. And with that question, General Yamada straightened his back, coughed twice to clear the bad air in his throat before answering.

”They're properly contained. They were further bound by the Energy Chains to thoroughly block their Source Energy from erupting. They were also injected with a drug that would weaken their Physical Capabilities.”

”I see. Well then, order someone to bring five of them here and is there someone among you who hasn't reached the threshold yet?”

It's time to make use of that Baptismal Chamber.
