"To all residents of Skypiea! I am a Shinigami (Soul Reaper) serving under the Soul King, and the Captain of the Second Division of the Gotei 13, Soi Fon!"
Instantly, everyone on the sky island looked around in utter shock. They instinctively looked for the source of the voice but found no one. However, the voice in their ears did not stop.
"The false god Enel has been executed, and the Four Priests have abandoned the darkness and chosen the light. By order of the Soul King, this proclamation is made to all."
"All factions must immediately send representatives to the temple for a council. The Soul King will resolve all territorial disputes."
"Refusal to attend will be considered a forfeiture of rights, and you will be required to comply with all arrangements without condition! Do not make a mistake that you will regret!"
The Spiritual Net dispersed, and the broadcast ended.
The Four Priests, having witnessed this display, were too stunned to speak. One person communicating with the entire population of the sky island—if that wasn't a God, what was it?
Auguro praised, "Soi Fon, excellent work!"
He had forgotten that Bakudō #77: Tenteikūra had a communication function!
It only worked because Soi Fon, a Captain, possessed sufficient Reiatsu. Otherwise, communicating with tens of thousands of people across the entire sky island would have been difficult!
The sky island was immediately thrown into chaos.
Gan Fall looked solemnly at his former Divine Squad members.
"You all heard what that woman said. What should we do?"
One of them replied, "It's now certain that Enel has been defeated! Given his personality, he would never tolerate such a public challenge otherwise."
"If that's the case, I believe we must make contact with this so-called Soul King!"
"At the very least, we must find out how this Soul King intends to rule Skypiea!"
Similar discussions were happening among the Shandian tribe.
Wiper, the strongest warrior of the Shandians, sneered, "So Enel has finally been dragged down from his deity status?"
"Is the new God called the Soul King? He has quite the nerve! To claim he will resolve everyone's territorial disputes!"
"Will he actually give God's Island back to us Shandians?"
The Shandian Chief spoke, "Regardless of whether he intends to return God's Island to us, we must attend this meeting!"
"You heard the proclamation. Failure to attend will be seen as forfeiting the right to claim our territory. No matter how slim the hope, we cannot give up!"
Wiper stood up, his expression serious.
"Then I will go! No matter what this Soul King intends, we must reclaim the Shandian land!"
The discussions were heated, but all factions chose to send representatives. A new God capable of defeating Enel was not someone they could afford to defy!
Before long, representatives from all sides arrived at the temple.
The former Divine Army under Enel had already been roused by the Four Priests. Upon learning of Auguro's power, they decisively chose to surrender and stood obediently below Auguro's throne.
Gan Fall and a few older Sky People exchanged glances. This new God could even recruit Enel's Divine Army; his power was undeniable!
"Hmm? Blue Sea People?"
At that moment, Wiper, as the Shandian representative, walked forward with a few warriors. He was clearly startled upon seeing Auguro. It had been decades since Blue Sea People had set foot on the sky island. The last time was Gol D. Roger and his crew!
"Since everyone is here, let's not waste any time!" Auguro leaned back on the God's Throne, looking down at the group with a calm expression.
"From today onward, Skypiea falls under my rule. Does anyone object?"
Silence.
Neither Gan Fall nor Wiper was foolish enough to object. Bravery and skill in combat were not the same as reckless arrogance. They couldn't defeat Enel, let alone this new God who had defeated him. To refuse submission meant death.
Auguro then heard the system notification.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forcefully conquering a new territory. Reward: 2,000 Achievement Points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for reaching God Kingdom Level 3. Reward: Seireitei!"
Seireitei!
Auguro's eyes lit up. Isn't that the headquarters of the Gotei 13! The system was incredibly considerate!
The sky island was perfect as a base of operations, and the Seireitei would fit in perfectly! But the sky island's land mass is a little small. Can the Seireitei fit?
"Host, do not worry!" The system proactively explained.
"When placing the Seireitei, it will be modified and expanded according to the environment and will not occupy the original space of the sky island!"
That was perfect! Auguro was very satisfied, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
At that moment, the impatient Wiper spoke up.
"God of the Blue Sea! I heard your proclamation to resolve everyone's territorial disputes. How do you intend to resolve them?"
Hearing this, Gan Fall and the others grew nervous. There was only so much soil on the sky island; if one group received more, the other received less!
No one was willing to give up their land. Otherwise, the Shandians and the original Sky People wouldn't have been fighting a 400-year war!
Auguro glanced at him, speaking coldly. "First, you should address me as the Soul King! From now on, I am the ruler of Skypiea, not some God of the Blue Sea!"
Wiper involuntarily flinched under Auguro's commanding gaze. Yet, he stubbornly held his ground.
"Our Shandian land has been occupied for four hundred years! If we cannot reclaim it, we will not recognize anyone who declares themselves the ruler of Skypiea!"
"Insolence!" Soi Fon snapped furiously, her terrifying Reiatsu impacting the minds of everyone like a tsunami.
"How dare a mere mortal question the status of the Soul King!"
Wiper and his companions were drenched in cold sweat. At that moment, they felt like ants facing a dragon; one gentle puff of breath from the enemy would annihilate them all!
The native Sky People were also deeply shocked, but they couldn't help but smile at Wiper's humiliation. You all thought you were so mighty! Anger this Soul King, and forget about reclaiming God's Island; you won't even have a place to stand on the entire sky island!
"Lord Soul King, please calm your anger! We are merely unstable due to being separated from our homeland for so long. We meant absolutely no offense!" Beside Wiper, the black-haired female warrior Raki trembled, pleading desperately with Auguro. She was a brave warrior who, in the original timeline, had attacked Enel despite knowing she couldn't win!
Auguro gave Soi Fon a look, and only then did she withdraw her Reiatsu.
As the pressure lifted, Wiper and the others nearly collapsed onto the floor. This new God and his subordinates are too strong!
Having been thoroughly humbled, a look of reverence replaced the defiance on Wiper's face. He asked respectfully, "May I ask, Lord Soul King, how you plan to resolve the Shandian land issue?"
The native Sky People, aside from Gan Fall, were disappointed that Wiper hadn't been punished more severely. But hearing his question, they too perked up, looking at Auguro. They were equally unwilling to surrender their land!
Would you like to continue with Auguro's plan to divide the land on the sky island?
