Chapter 1452 The Prelude To A War

In the past week, Arthur is rarely in the city and instead is all over the Turbulent Sea helping escorting hundreds of ships to the city.

With the protection of a Divine Comprehension leveler and following the safe sea route, they did not encounter any space tearing event.

Because of the influx of so many new people, there is many cities built all over the island continent.

Some people came with an entire village and as long as they could get acknowledged from the State Hall, they could form a village on any place in the island continent.

All of these villages and cities that were built all pledge their allegiance to Arthur.

Some of the official of the city of Arturia has even began preparing to crown Arthur as a King.

However, Arthur did not yet want to crown himself king.

There is something more important than being king right now and that is the conflict between the world powers and the dark forces of the world

Cities and villages are not the only thing that is being constructed right now.

There in the middle of the main square of the city of Arturia, is a large wide platform. The platform has ten levels. It is wide the size of four baseball field.

The platform itself is designed like a flat pyramid.

On the highest point of the platform is a guillotine stand. The blade of the guillotine is made with the strongest metal found on Earth

Anyone below Divine Comprehension leveler would die.

With a Divine Comprehension leveler present, Death Monarch make sure that the guillotine would cut and decapitated those below his level

The guillotine blade itself is then strengthened with sharpening runes and withering runes. It is carved on the edges of the guillotine blade

Even though the platform itself is white in color, with marble floors, beautiful ornament and decorations, everyone that sees this platform could not help but feel scared

This platform is an execution platform.

And three weeks from now, Death Monarch would execute ten people for the whole world to see.

Was it to show determination?

Was it to provoke a war? Or is it a warning?

Which is it that Death Monarch is trying to accomplish? Whatever it is, it is making the whole world feel uneasy.

This feeling is even more so for the people of Arturia.

Even before the platform was perfected, residential area is moved toward another part of the city.

The platform on the main square is now surrounded by business establishment.

During the day of the execution, everyone probably would close down their shops. Because everyone is expecting to see a battle that day

As for the broadcast, The White Owl organization also announced to the world that they would broadcast the entire execution so that the world could see.

There is now cooperation between the White Owl and the world powers.

The sales of video projector soars.

Some sails toward Arturia, wanting to see this execution directly in front of their own eyes and some sail there to live a new life.

The world powers are also silent.

Hirate, Lee Sangmin, Kairu, Narleod meet with Death Monarch when they first heard that Death Monarch captured those ten people.

After they met with each other, the world power remains silent. Appearing to approve Death Monarch action.

Then as the second week comes, all the other six world powers announce to the world that they would attend the execution

Things are becoming bigger

It makes sense that Death Monarch did not make any other statement since he was always a man of few words.

And he already told his intention to the world so it is no wonder he would not speak again since then to the world.

The world power not making any move could also be understood as they are preparing for the execution

But what is up with the Pirate and the Crime Alliance?

Why are they so silent?

Why is none of them making any moves?

Would they just watch as Death Monarch humiliates them to the world? Executing their people for the whole world to see?

Who would ever join them ever again if they could not show even a stance of protecting their people?

If the Crime Alliance did not show any action or makes any move, people would think that as long as Death Monarch makes a move, the pirates and the Crime Alliance could only accept it.

Whether he gifted you death or spare you, you have no right to choose your own life or death.

People still remember how Death Monarch appears on the skies and ask them to confess their sins.

All they could do was either obey or forced to obey.

And now, even as the day of execution draws near, yet pirates and the Crime Alliance still did not make any moves.

This could demoralize their own people.

When everyone thought that the Crime Alliance and the Pirates had given up, suddenly a new break out.

A large fleet of ships are appearing from all the ten seas.

And they are all heading toward Arturia.

Some ships flies through land before landing on the closest sea to the Turbulent Sea. The Crime Alliance is also moving their people.

Hundreds of thousands of people, all kinds of robotic army appear out of nowhere.

The Red Table has begun to move and all the forces of Evil, as the word power dubbed them is beginning to move.

Some people began seeing the result of Death Monarch action.

Death Monarch is forcing the world to pick a side.

Either they sided with the world power or the rebellious element of the world.

The Pirates are not all bad and the Crime Alliance is also the same.

Individuals are not a group.

But, Crime Alliance is undoubtedly an evil organization.

Even if not everyone under its umbrella is committing evil, most of them do.

And that is their trade.

The same for pirates.

There are pirates who did pillage island or robs and burns cities but most of them do.

The World powers is the same.

Just because they occupied the side of righteousness, does not mean that they are all righteous.

But, they do promote righteousness and so they were bound to it

And even though they are some bad apples, most of them believe in the slogans and motto of their world power.

To establish order, strengthen humanity and fight for the betterment of the world

They provide stability and order and safety to the common people

What Death Monarch had done was to tear apart whatever alliance the world power had with these dark elements of the world.

He is a person with ideals.

If that is the only thing he is, everyone could ignore him. But Death Monarch is a person with ideals and having the strength to bring that ideals into reality

And none is so dangerous as a man who have such ability.

Even if the world power does not think that doing this is good, Death Monarch had drawn the line.

He draws the line and he lets the world chooses.

Two weeks had passed.

And in that two weeks he stayed in Arturia.

He spoke with old friend that come to visit, but he did not address the world to whatever he is planning. Only what he had told the world.

And then he waited.

And the world powers, regardless of their distaste for Death Monarch method, fall in line.

And the moment they fall in line, the pirates, the Crime Alliance, the other dark forces of the world all gathered together.

They know that this is Death Monarch wanting to start a war.

And in this war, they must not lose.

Who know that such a war is started because of a trident?

Everyone knows why the war is started and why Death Monarch is so determined this time.

In the past it was not like Death Monarch did not have the ability to do what he did today.

But he did not do it.

Why?

because the threat to him was nonexistent.

At that time, he was busy with many other things and the pirates and the Crime Alliance is small problem.

He could clean them up whenever he wanted to. So, he focusses on the big problem first.

But when Kaiju got the trident, the power to control the Ten Seas, Death Monarch has now look at them.

And this time, he no longer looks at them with disdain.

This time, he is going to take them seriously.

It is something that no one wanted Death Monarch to do.

Because if Death Monarch look at you seriously, that means he is going to deal with you with all the power he could muster.

And these forces of evil knows that this time, it is not a simple battle.

This is war intending to wipe them out

So, after a meeting with the great forces of the criminal underworld, a war was decided.

The dark forces of the world is no basically declaring war to the world powers.

There would be a war and this war would determine rearrange the status quo of the world

Whether these forces could survive depends on the conclusion of the war.

And the Great general of this war on the criminal underworld side is Kaiju.

Because among these forces of evil, there is only one person that is probably capable of battling it out with Death Monarch

And so, three weeksʼ passes
