Chapter 266: Chapter 185 : People's Republic?
"Other than the special lottery, there are alternative means to acquire the World Gate."
Upon reading the message displayed above the Golden List, Uchiha Ran's expression registered surprise.
At his current stage, he could sense the world-level suppression.
While numerous paths existed to further augment his strength, avenues for breaking through realms were scarce.
1: Reliance on the Golden List. Endowed with the formidable ability to communicate with the Myriad Worlds, the Golden List inherently harbors the capability to elevate one's realm in an extraordinary manner. Even it is so easy, provided one manages to maintain their position.
2: Dependence on the World Gate. From the low level world to the vast expanse of Major Worlds, metaphorically akin to ponds, lakes, and oceans, the nurturing potential for beings varies significantly.
Could a blue whale thrive in a pond? It would barely subsist in a lake but could flourish in the boundless ocean.
As long as the path to higher realms is known, the journey towards self-improvement persists.
3: Ascending the world.
In essence, this involves expanding from ponds to lakes and even oceans.
This method is undoubtedly the most time-consuming yet beneficial for all life in this world.
Nonetheless, a mutually beneficial solution exists - connecting myriad small worlds into a unified whole and beyond.
And acquiring the World Gate serves as the simplest and most direct route.
In other words, for those aspiring to break through further, two methods are intertwined with obtaining the World Gate.
However, securing the World Gate originally entailed participation in the special lottery alongside the Golden List. The first method's linkage to this process is contingent on luck.
Now, an additional approach has surfaced.
Inheritance!
Those who attain the inheritance voluntarily relinquish their chance to get the inheritance, thereby enabling the inheritor temporary possession of the World Gate.
Regarding the task at hand...
"I choose to forgo the inheritance."
Ran's decision was resolute as he directed his gaze towards Esdeath on the Golden List.
Esdeath grinned. "My wish is for Ran to venture into my world."
[Golden List Tip: Basic criteria fulfilled]
[Golden List Tip: Reward has been modified, new reward will be the temporary World Gate]
Information flashed on the Golden List.
Subsequently, the Golden List transformed into a specialized portal, landing in Ran's palm, roughly the size of his hand.
Ran had the liberty to position this portal wherever he wished.
However, once established, the location remained fixed until the task was completed and permanent permissions were granted.
Ran observed with keen interest.
[Intermediate Middle World Gate (Akame ga Kill World)]
Owner: Uchiha Ran
Time Limit: 365 days
Permissions:
Time Limit Raising Method Tasks:
1: Establish a faction to control aspects such as population, territory, and economy of the world (more than 50%)
2: Acquire forty-eight Teigu (can be owned or gain allegiance from Teigu wielders). Every six acquired extends the time limit by one year.
3: Kill or force the "Child of Destiny" to surrender.
The information provided is concise.
The permissions granted are quite familiar, resembling those of the "Heavenly Flame" world gate.
However, both the world of Heavenly Flames and the Ninja world are of higher middle tiers, possessing greater power compared to the Akame ga Kill World.
Moreover, the Heavenly Flame World is a low-tier world in the Great Thousand Worlds (The Great Ruler World).
The sole disparity from the "Heavenly Flame" world gate lies in the presence of a time limit.
Yet, there exists a means to extend this limit, with permanent ownership achievable upon completing any of the three tasks.
Should one year prove insufficient, the gathering of eight Teigu initially can serve to prolong the duration.
In Ran's perspective, these three tasks appear eminently manageable.
Task 1: Utilizing the soon-to-be unified Ninja world presents a straightforward opportunity to quell chaos in Akame ga Kill world.
Moreover, given the prevailing chaos within that world- the crumbling imperial system, societal unrest, and the emergence of rebellions - aligning with the prevailing tide seems plausible.
Task 2: With his extensive knowledge, amassing forty-eight Teigu at once might pose a challenge, yet securing twenty-four or more is within reach. Extension of time simplifies this endeavor.
Naturally, the simplest task remains the third.
The World Gate merely stipulates the need to kill or dominate the Child of Destiny, withholding their identity intentionally while noting the possibility of them being of either gender.
Determining the identity of the Child of Destiny was undeniably the greatest challenge in this endeavor, followed by the tasks of determination and conquest.
However, for him, this task seemed trivial.
In this world, most Children of Destiny were mere pawns.
A minority might hold potential, but regardless, they all bowed to his will.
"The point of entry is easily secured.
"With my mastery of Genjutsu, bending the wills of both the young emperor and the leaders of the rebel factions is a trivial matter. Even the Night Raid will fall under my sway. Piece of cake.
"I've just tangled with Esdeath, and her abilities will serve me well.
"When the time comes to forge alliances, I'll extend my hand in feigned courtesy. Then, as the Akame ga Kill World descends into chaos, I shall emerge as its guiding force, ready to claim dominion over all."
Ran meticulously crafted his plans.
Without hesitation, he stepped through the gateway, leaving the confines of his chamber.
As he strode forward, his voice resonated across the entire ninja world via live broadcast: "Henceforth, the era of nations shall end, but the spirit of the ninja villages shall endure.
"All nations shall unite under a single banner, striving collectively for peace and prosperity.
"And henceforth, the great Ninja Villages shall be known as the Military Bases of the Ninja Villages. The Kages of the hidden villages shall rise as the supreme commanders of our armed forces.
"The Village Leader shall stand as the paramount authority, second only to the supreme commander."
"Further details shall follow in due course.
"But for now, I call upon the first objective of the newly forged People's Republic."
With his proclamation, Ran emerged from the conference hall, flinging open the gates with a resounding crash.
"A thunderous boom echoed as a massive gateway, ten meters wide and twenty meters tall, materialized in the square.
"From this day forth, this place shall serve as the capital of the People's Republic!
"The Land of Iron, situated at the heart of the ninja world continent, and the hub of the Five Great Nations.
"Establishing this as the new world order has long been my ambition.
"And it's an ambition conceived long before the Golden List emerged."
And in the Land of Iron, as early as two years ago, it had become his covert headquarters.
Now, it was all out in the open.
Boom!
Ran's words plummeted into the atmosphere like a meteor, detonating directly within everyone's hearts.
First to react were the prominent figures.
They hadn't anticipated being spared from Ran's remarks.
Without their influence, what good were their reputations?
They seethed with anger, yet none dared to act.
They weren't fools.
Ninjas were hardly industrious, and their refinement left much to be desired.
Despite retaining nominal financial power after the Daimyo's ascendancy, once everyone sought relative peace, they fell under the sway of Daimyo, transforming Ninja Village into a mere tool.
But now, with the unveiling of the Gold List, ninjas truly stood at the summit. As relayed by Ran, the five hidden villages would lead, and the major ninja enclaves would fall in line.
The consolidation of the ninja world loomed inevitable. They lacked the means to resist, and even if they did, what stood against Ran's might? Fearful of a meteoric strike in the capital? One isn't enough, how about two?
In the face of absolute power, all else was a facade. And for the populace, a relatively tranquil environment promised better chances of survival. Why oppose it?
The die was cast. Even the eminent figures recognized this reality. Others wouldn't diverge much. If the ninja world were to be united, chaos would be averted.
The ultimate aspiration was dominion over all worlds! But now, as the dialogue on the Golden List concluded, why was Ran still live on air?
...those experienced in such matters glanced towards the Gold List. True enough, the rankings had been updated.
[Tenth place: Cube
Owner: Uchiha Ran]
Ran possesses a weapon unheard of, possibly of Ōtsutsuki origin obtained from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Amidst everyone's scrutiny, he traversed the world's gateway and entered the world of the Akame ga Kill.
"Meow~" a silhouette emerged. Ran extended his arms, the figure nestled within.
"Here to charm me, perhaps?" Esdeath inquired, eyes gleaming.
"No!" Ran chuckled. "Let's delve into more pressing matters first."
Jiraiya and the seasoned lot watched, grumbling inwardly. Straight-faced as ever, couldn't he reciprocate the girl's enthusiasm with a few sweet words?
"Business? Affairs?" Esdeath quipped, smiling. "A serious man is quite dashing."
Jiraiya and others: ....
