Chapter 874 874 What Have They Done?
While the shock was more than the people in Wolfe's world were ready to take in, the impact on the rulers of the other Realms was no smaller. The spell that had been cast had caused the last of the broken barrier that had been hiding this world to crumble, and its sudden appearance, with a mix of Fae, Demons, mutated magic using humans, and an actual Magi Saint was sending confusion through every world that was capable of inspecting them.
That wasn't many worlds, but there were a few other Magi and Demon populated worlds outside their home Realms, and the sudden appearance of another world, which was no weaker than any of theirs, was poised to throw a wrench in their plans for domination.
They often schemed against each other, just as the Fae Realms and Demons Realms did, but only a few of them possessed the capability to go directly to the other worlds in person through a portal, instead of going through their home realm first.
But the majority of nearby worlds in the Mortal Realm that bordered the Upper and Lower planes did not have the ability to see into other worlds, much less get to them. So what they were left with was a terrifying sense of otherness in the distance, a lingering sense of terror that they were going to need time to shake.
It would cause all sorts of superstitions among their people, especially on the worlds with very little mana, but neither the Demon King nor the Seraph were concerned about that. Every world had its little quirks, and having them make up stories about you was a fun little fact to tell your friends.
Wolfe and the others were slowly beginning to recover as Saint Josephine, the Fae Representative for the Fearia Continent, passed out herbal tea. She was running on instinct, the basic courtesy that the Fae had drilled into their subconscious from the day that they were born, but that little bit of normalcy was all that it took to get everyone functional again. n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
"Alright, now that we're all back in the world of the living, and none of us are trapped in a time loop, we should begin to discuss how we are going to use this gift we have been given.
It was originally for the invaders from another world, but with everything that has been done, there is no reason that we can't train our youngsters here.
"We should make a big public announcement as well, since we didn't really inform the rest of the world after the plans started to change. They definitely didn't expect what happened in the end, and they are going to panic if we don't start to provide them proper information very soon." The Fae Saint laughed with mischief in her smile that said she wouldn't be too upset if that happened.
The group of Continental Representatives looked around at each other. What exactly could they tell the people that wouldn't cause them to panic even more than they were? They could omit who did the spell casting, or say that they enlisted the help of some powerful friends, and leave it at that.
It might be enough in the short term, but most of the planet wasn't going to understand the necessity of keeping the off world portal arrivals contained into one specific area in a time loop.
Finally, one of the Wrath Demons slapped his hand on his leg and smiled. "I've got it. I have the perfect answer. We can tell them that we took a vote and this won as the most suitable defensive array.
If we phrase it right, it will make them feel like their concerns were addressed by their Representatives, and that we all had an equal part in the decision.
That's what they really want, for us to hear their troubles and take action. So, if we tell them that we enlisted help to make the defensive array double as a place for them to train and get strong so they didn't have to rely on others any longer, they should come around in only a few days."
That logic sounded like it would work much better on the Wrath Demons, but Wolfe couldn't deny that it was the best idea that they had come up with so far.
"Any objections to the plan to tell the world that this was done in everyone's best interests?" Wolfe asked.
No hands went up, so he continued. "Then it's decided. Now, we just need to come up with the actual speeches."
