Chapter 657 The Start of The World War 3 Second-Half
— Still Envy P.O.V —
After a joyous dinner, Daniel has something to talk about with us. He called all of us to have a talk in the living room. This is a serious talk. Tian Xingyun served him a snack and tea, which she brewed herself. Ugh, I hate that bitch. That was supposed to be my role!
Anyhow, Daniel seems to want to start talking. At first, he appears to be mulling about it, but in the end. He starts... his voice is calm, but he seems a little bit awkward.
"Um... How do I put this..." He starts, scratching his head. "I have... secretly created a... mothership. Its size is the same as the old... Oikoumene. No..." Daniel thinks for a bit. "It should be larger than that, considering the area of the ship that needs to encompass and simulate the environment of all those lands and sea." Daniel finished by correcting himself a little bit.
"You say what? You have a mother ship that's larger than the entire Texas!?" Greed exclaims in alarm and surprise. But then she was quiet, she calmed herself very fast... did she know something I didn't? Hmm, I'm curious.
"Yes... you could say that." Daniel admitted with a nod.
"As expected of Lord husband! You are so genius!" that bitch quickly hugged him again! But I agree with her on that, and I still think the word genius is an understatement. Danny is an anomaly, I say; he even created such a thing....
I guess that when he has helpers such as more than a trillion swarm of micro-construction bots like those metal scarabs. He can build anything crazy, huh... I don't know where he found all that material... ah! Right... He's plundered an entire abyssal realm.
This time, I look at Mammon, who, still munching on a cherry tomato, seems to ignore all of the craziness Daniel did. Hmm... the guy is very good at adapting to circumstances... good for him.
"Don't tell me a few days you've not home is that you spend your time building that thing? It's quite fast." I nodded, appreciating his efficiency.
"No... in fact, in these past few days, I spent it preparing the place to receive all of you. So that you can go and live there without caring about anything. Plus, no one knows about it because the entire ship has a cloaking field. Right now, It's right above us, on the orbit." Daniel said, pointing up.
"So... you wanted us to move to your mothership in case a war happened so that we don't have to worry about anything," I concluded.
"No... It's not 'in case' but according to Albert's report for the past few days. It will eventually happen... and that eventually, I mean, it may happen in a few days. A week at maximum." Daniel corrected me.
*Sigh~* "Is there no other way?" I let out a sigh. Yes, I know that human fear and hatred were infected, like a virus, when enough people started to fear or hate us. These two emotions will start infecting the masses like a plague.
Fear... hatred... irrationality, and greediness... all these things will accelerate the world into war. I know all of that... but still...
But the strangest thing is that Sloth didn't sleep; she seemed wide awake, contrasting her usual behavior. She looks like she is interests in the ship and a lot of new things that she just saw.
In the sky, I watched out of the window and saw the curve... it seems the vessel is curved as it's based on the earth's curve in the area. So Danny simulated a lot of the earth's environment here.
After a short time in the sky, we arrived at the city. The city was still in its infancy, and not many people had come here. But enough people had arrived to maintain the city and make all of the infrastructure in the city work... but If I remember correctly, isn't this Athen? I see this area is based on the region around the Aegean Sea.
We've arrived at our house, a house that looks more like a vacation estate with its back turn to the Aegean sea. The cliff and the sea below are breathtaking.
"So beautiful! Let's go and swim!" little Sylvana cried out. We've just arrived, and she immediately wanted to play at sea.
"Let us take care of our luggage first, okay?" I said to her.
In the house, we've met with Penthesilea and Michaela; I see... Daniel had brought them here first, then after he had prepared for our place, he got all of us here... at this time, Maria had come to visit us; she was dressed in a formal black suit and skirt. She brings him a stack of paper, which seems like a report.
Daniel quickly perused it and then opened the TV.
On TV, I saw a new president of the United States hmm... in the past. John was driven out of his position by Congress, and now his political enemy has taken his place.
"Have you extracted John and his supporter from the US yet?" I ask Greed.
"Already done it; now he's living in New Atlantis... It's up to the state of the war, but I think we'll see him shortly if he requests us for him and his family to relocate here." Greed analyze.
"In light of recent events!" The new president, John's political enemy, spoke; he was surrounded by many countries' leaders who seemed to be on board with the hate train.
"New Atlantis has harmed humanity with their strategy to invest in the energy industry and establish facilities that make us dependent on them, only to later withdraw their support. This has caused significant hardship for many people and for the country as a whole, leading to numerous families losing their jobs. This behavior is not how gentlemen should conduct themselves. For the betterment of humanity, New Atlantis should share their technology with us."
"Bull shit..." Greed muttered in disdain. The scene on the TV continued.
"This war is not declared out of greed or vengeance, but it's a war we declare for the betterment of all humanity!" the president said, showing a fist to indicate that they are in the right.
