"You should know what to do."
"Yes, Lord Tianzai, I will immediately annihilate these offenders."
Right after Aurora Road said that, they immediately began their operation.
The next day, another explosive news broke in the entire pirate world. The shock level of this news far exceeded the previous ones, causing panic among ordinary people. Even the World Government, the Navy, great pirates, and Celestial Dragons experienced a very suppressed mood.
This news is still related to Disaster Island. Some people are now starting to refer to Li Wei and his group as the Disaster Pirates.
No one expected that what appeared to be a strange phenomenon covering the entire world would be a living being. The sudden sound startled everyone.
"I am the second special creation under Lord Cataclysm, the Aurora Path, also known as the Aurora Calamity, a special passage opened for Lord Cataclysm."
The voice of the Aurora Path, like the might of the heavens, resounded throughout the entire One Piece world, and every creature in every corner could hear its voice.
"Because someone has damaged the passage to Lord Natural Disaster, it is hereby declared that these malicious creatures will be punished."
"To exterminate them."
After these words were spoken, those not far from those who were destroying the Aurora Path could see beams of light descending from the light net onto the ground or the sea, causing a series of massive explosions.
There are large islands that were completely destroyed by just one bombing.
People panicked after a reporter captured the devastating scene and published it in the newspaper.
Because these creatures, who call themselves the Aurora Path and the Aurora Calamity, have covered the entire world!
There is no place outside its attack and surveillance range; even the seabed and the floating islands above the clouds are actually within its attack range.
In other words, if it has the will, there is nowhere that can escape its attack, and it is even difficult to escape its field of vision. Only fish-men who can live on the seabed for a long time might be able to do so, or other special life forms.
Those who live on the earth's surface cannot escape it.
Actually, the people who are most worried and afraid are not ordinary people, but the political figures of those countries, the major pirate crews, and various forces.
The concerns of ordinary people stem from their fear of the unknown regarding powerful entities, while those in power are more worried about Li Wei's inability to tolerate them, the possibility of unintentionally offending him, or conflicts of interest between different factions.
No one could have imagined that the Scourge Island would possess such a powerful weapon for all-round surveillance and attack. It can be said that the operation of the entire world is exposed to the Scourge Island and is threatened by the Scourge Island at any time.
For a time, some forces or individuals went mad and attacked and destroyed the Aurora Path, but it was useless. The Aurora Path was too vast, and small attacks could not cause effective damage; at most, they could only scratch the surface.
Because apart from a few magical attacks, only domineering aura can damage the Aurora Path, and this is only under the influence of the rules of this world.
Despite the meager results, they could not tolerate the existence of the Aurora Path.
No one can tolerate this!
Some observant people noticed other, more alarming and worrying things.
"Did you guys notice? That Aurora Calamity is said to be Li Wei's exclusive passage..."
"My God, such a terrifying thing is just one path for Li Wei, who suffers from natural disasters?"
"Is it possible that they are just bluffing?"
"But do they really need to?"
"It's hard to say..."
The above dialogue was commented on by professional analysts in subsequent news reports, and some even provided more detailed analysis. Some pointed out that when the Aurora Calamity introduced itself, it mentioned that it was Li Wei's second special creation, with the words "special creation" being particularly eye-catching.
"What was circulating before was that they were all creations of Li Wei, the God of Disaster. But this time, the word 'special' was added to 'Aurora Calamity.' Is there some deeper meaning behind this?"
"If special creations are truly distinguishable from ordinary creations... could we assume that special creations are vastly different from ordinary creations, hence the prefix 'special'? For example, the existence of this Aurora Calamity is truly terrifying."
"And another thing... this Aurora Calamity is only the second special creation. Could there be a first, a third, or even a fourth or fifth one?!"
Honestly, the World Government really wants to block news commentary that boosts the morale of others while diminishing their own, but they don't have time to waste on it anymore. The self-disclosure of the Aurora Path and the series of problems it caused have left them overwhelmed. They have more important things to do, and they don't have the extra resources to waste on such trivial matters.
They don't have the energy to care about news, nor do they want to or have the ability to manage it.
The World Government and Navy's Den Den Mushi are about to be destroyed by the Celestial Dragons and the kings of various countries.
Some fearful citizens began to spontaneously form groups to surround various government departments and naval branches, hoping they could resolve the threat overhead.
But what can they do?
The Aurora Road is actually constructed of light. Among the native figures, apart from a few special Devil Fruit users who can cause damage, only those who possess Haki can.
But even if they went without food, drink, sleep and rest for ten lifetimes to destroy the Aurora Path, they still couldn't destroy it, not to mention that the Aurora Path would retaliate and repair itself.
It can be said that if Li Wei is unhappy, he can destroy the entire world in an instant by relying on the Aurora Road!
This is where they feel most fearful and powerless. They don't know if they cause too much damage to the Aurora Road, or if they do something wrong and touch Li Wei's minefield, they might provoke Li Wei into a killing spree.
Not to mention the original inhabitants, even the reincarnators were taken aback. They never expected that the Aurora Road would be so beyond their imagination.
In fact, those watching the live stream were quite shocked. Even the usually aloof council was worried, and some even suggested immediately halting this instance world.
One of the conditions for plundering the world is to cause irreparable damage to it.
In other words, Li Wei could take away their world at any time through such means, if he wanted to.
As soon as the proposal was put forward, the members of parliament immediately began to discuss and vote on it.
The situation was beyond their control.
PAS: I need to rest and adjust. That's all for today. I have to leave very early tomorrow for a full day of classes, so I don't know if I'll be able to update. If I do, it'll probably be at most one chapter.
You might not believe it, but I've already updated over 60,000 words this month...
Chapter 422 Veto
Many members of the council voted to terminate the instance. If it were the original instance world, it would be fine. Even if there was a crisis of being plundered, considering the council's reputation and credibility, they would have no choice but to swallow the loss.
However, since this instance has encountered an unexpected situation, and many of the other forces invited to the celebration have requested that the instance world be discontinued, they now have a legitimate reason to stop the instance from continuing, no matter what they say.
Otherwise, they would risk having a rare great world plundered and the blame from the fallen geniuses of these forces. In any case, if their refusal led to the death of a reincarnator in the next instance, the force behind that reincarnator would definitely blame the council.
The reason they didn't stop before was that these forces basically agreed to continue and thought they could take this opportunity to deal a blow to the new generation of the opposing forces. But now that their successors are about to be attacked, they are all panicking.
One vote after another was cast in favor, and the votes from the government agencies accounted for more than 80%. However, when it came to Hunter Shenno, he also had the right to veto. He was the twelfth-ranked councilor and the person in charge of supervising the entire celebration.
Everyone else had finished voting, and their reasons were all valid and sufficient. Now it was up to the leader, Lightning Hunter Shenno, to decide. Unfortunately, Lightning Hunter Shenno remained expressionless and made no statement, making it impossible to tell whether he was in favor or against.
"Speaker, what do you think we should do about this?" the other members of the council asked cautiously.
As one of the seventy-two councilors and ranked twelfth, Thunder Godno holds a very important position and has a great deal of influence. Basically, the power in the council belongs to the very top group of people.
The speaker of the seventy-two seats has the power to decide the fate of other ordinary members of the parliament with a single word!
This right is granted by the parliamentary system and is also determined by the powerful strength of Lightning Hunter Shenno himself. Lightning Hunter Shenno, who is ranked twelfth, is not necessarily only ranked twelfth in strength. In fact, his combat power ranks among the top ten in the parliament. He is only ranked twelfth because he is relatively young.
This grievance is only temporary. Hunter Shenno comes from a large family and has his own group of people in the council. Even among the seventy-two council members, his family occupies several seats.
The current family patriarch is a terrifying figure who ranks third in terms of strength. Although he is ranked third, his strength is similar to that of the first two. Basically, the top three is just a number that was set at the beginning. All three of them have terrifying foundations that are not inferior to each other in the council and in the Great World of Reincarnation.
Therefore, when the council members spoke to Lightning Hunter Shenno, they were all extremely cautious, afraid that a wrong tone or poor expression would trigger a minefield.
Often, they dare not express their inclinations in front of these important figures, even though the prevailing trend is toward interrupting the game. But who knows what the Speaker of Parliament is thinking?
Lightning Hunter Shenno did not answer immediately. He remained silent, and the others did not dare to press him further, simply waiting quietly for a decision.
After a long while, Hunter Shenno slowly spoke.
"Abort the copy. Have council members immediately fix the system and world anomalies."
"As ordered."
The other members of parliament responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.
At the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the young councilor, who was twelfth in line, did not act impulsively and exercise his veto power. Otherwise, if this matter had really caused some big trouble, they would definitely have been the scapegoats who bore the main responsibility.
Upon learning that the council was going to suspend the instance world, people from other factions relaxed. Only a very few team leaders were dissatisfied, because these team leaders were all top figures from the upper echelons of the factions. They had great confidence in their juniors, and even after seeing Li Wei's performance on the live broadcast, their confidence did not diminish.
They weren't unaware of Li Wei's prowess; they simply knew how powerful and terrifyingly talented the others participating in the dungeons were.
This is not arrogance, but their objective analysis and evaluation. Perhaps those people cannot destroy the world and cause such great destruction, but their descendants are by no means simple in combat.
If we were to calculate the difference in ability, one could achieve the same level as Li Wei.
Unfortunately, despite their dissatisfaction, they couldn't go against the will of the masses at this point. More importantly, the councilor had spoken. They knew this councilor all too well; he might appear refined, but his actual power was astonishing. All the people present combined probably wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
In any case, the cessation of the dungeon is good news for most people. They know their own limitations; their juniors are no match for Li Wei. Some of their forces, which have already lost members to Li Wei, are secretly plotting something and considering certain matters.
They all thought that the matter was over.
However, after some time, they saw a disturbance on the floor above them, on the floor of the council.
"Speaker, the dungeon... the dungeon abort failed. The system and world rules could not be repaired..."
Many people were terrified and their faces turned pale.
In fact, as soon as the problem was discovered in the instance world, their people quickly began research and were ready to intervene and fix it at any time to ensure efficiency.
However, when they actually started working on it, they discovered that all of their initial calculations were wrong.
Raider Shenno frowned, a rare occurrence for him.
"Hasn't it already been calculated?"
"Speaker... For some reason, all the expected results have become invalid. As soon as the repair team intervened, all the anomalies and rules underwent new changes..."
"Based on the latest observations... just like those anomalies and rules, they have come to life..."
"absurd!"
Hunter of Thunder Godnor immediately rebuked him.
Abnormalities and rules are essentially concepts, and now they're telling him that they possess life consciousness?
If they said the world consciousness of the copy world was interfering, he might believe it, but rules and such things were unheard of.
Therefore, Hunter Shenno coldly scrutinized the other councilors.
"If you continue to make excuses for your incompetence, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Even if a member of parliament loses a lot, it's not like they can't be replaced at any time."
The threat in Hunter Shenno's tone was obvious, but they really had no way to express their grievances. They found these things unbelievable, yet they were true.
However, their colleagues knew that if they continued to explain, the legislator would likely punish them severely.
PAS: I'm going back to my hometown this afternoon. My schedule feels so full.
Chapter 423 Rules of Life, The Banquet Approaching
But what could they do? They were desperate too, and could only keep pressuring their subordinates to fix the world anomaly as soon as possible.
At the same time, they also made second and third plans. Some contacted more capable technicians with better technical skills in world maintenance, while others contacted their own backers, hoping to save their lives if they failed repeatedly and angered Hunter Shenno.
Time passed slowly, and the councilors received another report, which disappointed them; the world still could not be restored.
"Still failed?"
"Hunter of Lightning?" Shenno asked casually, but the other councilors could sense the chill in his tone.
"you."
Thunder Hunter? Shenno casually picked a councilor.
Give me an explanation.
The congressman turned pale with fright, but had no choice but to stand up.
"Speaker, it's because those technical staff are not capable enough. I'll contact other higher-ranking members of the council right away. I hope you can give me some time..."
"I'll give you some time?"
Thunder Hunter? Shenno repeated the senator's words, making his heart skip a beat.
"These people are incompetent, but aren't you just as useless?"
"My Lord, I..."
"I told you, don't make excuses for incompetence."
Hunter Shenno's gaze immediately sharpened, as if he was preparing to do something.
"My lord, I was sent here by the Sixth Councilor..." The councilor said these words subconsciously. He had a premonition that if he didn't take some action, he would face a terrible end. He had no choice but to bring out his backer.
"Oh? Are you the Speaker of the Council?"
"No, no..."
