The countless shields and various defensive measures deployed by the Interstellar Peace Corporation on Pier Point were like paper before this single slash!
Diamond watched with a racing heart; he had no doubt that even if a The Universe stood before this slash, it would be sliced clean through.
He had no choice but to erupt with his full power!
Being on his home turf, he still had a few trump cards up his sleeve.
Several hidden vaults on Eldelpont shattered automatically, and amber crystals appeared before Diamond one by one, forming a war hammer.
"Shatter!"
Reaching out to grasp it, Diamond swung forward in a fit of rage.
*Thud!*
Raiden Mei raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but she still didn't speak. She silently added a bit more strength and swung her blade once more.
This slash seemed unremarkable, but it actually contained the cosmic Taiji mysteries of the cyclical transformation between Nihility and Pure Beauty, enough to truly collapse a The Universe.
*Pfft!!!*
This time, Diamond had no room for resistance. His body burst, blood flowed, and he was nearly erased entirely by the slash—
Had Raiden Mei not sensed the situation and slightly held back her power, not only Diamond but the entirety of Eldelpont would have been annihilated by that single strike.
"We are both Envoys, so how can you be this strong? Even the strongest among the Lord Ravagers are far inferior. Are you even still an Envoy?"
His face was filled with shock, rage, and confusion. How could an Envoy be powerful to such an extent?
If this Penacony Emissary hadn't held back, he would be dead by now!
Raiden Mei completely ignored him, instead signaling the three people behind her with her gaze—
It's time for you to act!
She was only responsible for cutting down and shredding anything that hindered her God Lord's mission; as for communication, negotiation, and coordination, those were naturally the responsibilities of these three.
Only then did Diamond realize that along with this strange Penacony Emissary, his three most valued subordinates had also arrived.
"Jade! Topaz! Aventurine!"
Diamond's expression was grim as he questioned them coldly, "Are you planning to betray the Company?"
Facing her former superior's questioning, Jade merely gave him a faint glance before calmly walking past him toward the Company's vital departments. She needed to seize control of the Company's most important assets as quickly as possible to prevent her new boss's assets from being lost.
Aventurine also ignored him, heading straight for the press conference hall to announce the arrival of a new era for the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
Only Topaz, holding her Warp Trotter, approached her old superior Diamond. With a hint of apology on her face, she said, "Director, as you can see, God Lord Hermes's will is unstoppable. Lord Mei is the First Envoy under the God Lord's command; you should understand what that implies..."
Since Director Diamond had treated her well, Topaz didn't mind giving her old boss a hand to prevent him from doing something foolish that would lead to his ruin.
"God Lord Hermes? An Envoy under his command?"
Relying on the tenacious vitality of an Envoy of Preservation, Diamond forcibly stabilized his injuries, but his facial muscles couldn't help but twitch upon hearing Topaz's words.
"He, an Envoy of Intellect and a member of the Genius Society, actually Ascended to Godhood on the Path of Pure Beauty?"
Good grief.
Not long ago, he was using space-time technology to give the Company a cross-temporal beating... He had already felt that this didn't seem like something a mortal beneath an Aeon could achieve, not even an Envoy.
And now, he doesn't even want to pretend anymore, does he?
Wouldn't it be better if you just said you were an Aeon? Everyone would have happily joined you and enjoyed a life of luxury.
Why would you even need to get your hands dirty?
"You misunderstand, Director."
Topaz explained with a subtle expression, "God Lord Hermes has not yet officially Ascended to Godhood."
"He just said this: 'My strength has increased too quickly, and I accidentally reached the edge of Ascension. If I don't finish what needs to be done before officially Ascending, my mind won't be at peace.'"
"'After all, if I act against the Company after revealing my title, I'm afraid I'll be mocked in the Aeon Realm for tens of thousands of amber eras. Aha would probably print the story of me bullying the weak in every corner of the universe for everyone to laugh at...'"
"So, this God Lord took advantage of the eve of his Ascension to first promote an Envoy to come and deal with the Company?"
For a moment, Diamond didn't know whether to feel humiliated and aggrieved or honored. What right did the Company have to be specifically targeted by such a great being?!
"That's roughly the situation."
Topaz nodded, confirming the director's suspicion.
Diamond looked at Topaz, then at the Penacony Emissary standing above Eldelpont. After a moment of silence, he spoke decisively, "I can help you take over the Company. With my status, I can directly influence one-third of the Company's main fleets and a portion of the management, but I'll be powerless regarding the rest."
"If we can't control some of the high-ranking officials immediately, their power could cause a major chaos that no one wants to see."
If those people really caused a stir, it would be enough to plunge countless galaxies and numerous star systems into chaos.
By then, the number of sentient lives lost would not be in the millions or tens of millions, but in the trillions.
"That is indeed a difficult problem."
Topaz frowned, gently stroking the little darling in her arms, feeling a bit troubled. She knew that as long as she reported the issue to her new boss, all problems would cease to be problems.
But the issue was, as a subordinate, how could she just throw every problem at her boss the moment she encountered it?
That wasn't what a capable subordinate should do.
Of course, if things really reached that point, she would have to report it; otherwise, if a major problem occurred, that would be the true sign of irresponsibility.
"This matter is very simple."
This was the first time Raiden Mei had spoken since her appearance. She said calmly, "Make a list, preferably with their photos included. I'll resolve it all at once this time."
Diamond and Topaz looked at each other. Could this really be solved all at once?
Looking at how she was gently stroking the Tachi in her hand, how could they not know exactly how she planned to "resolve" it all at once?
But was this really realistic?
These people were spread throughout the entire The Universe; even with long-range warps, trying to find them one by one would take an astronomical amount of time.
