Chapter 2095 – [China’s Doomsday Season 4]

First, we had to deal with the war, but we had to create a last opportunity and a place for compromise. That way, you can save face as a phantom who cares about this matter.

Both our district and the gate district were attracting attention due to the recent territorial dispute between China and North Korea. The good news is that Gate USA is taking our side.

“North Korea is South Korea’s territory, and China only occupied the territory without permission even after President Choi cleared all of North Korea’s gates. The United States has decided to take South Korea’s side in this dispute.”

“That’s a good thing. To be honest, it would have been difficult to turn the United States into an enemy. But in our case, the United States…”

“We have already finished talking with the United States of your district, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Oh, is that so?”

When we came over for unification aid, people from our district also came over and talked about various things. So, in this situation, I would have been able to come to a conclusion as to which side I should take.

On the other hand, the United States will not be happy about Gate China advancing into the East Sea through North Korea… From the beginning, the relationship between China and the United States was one of keeping each other in check, but at this point, if we want to block China’s ambitions, we must take our side. Even a fool would know that something has to be given.

“But I want to avoid war as much as possible. Because of the Gate, humanity doesn’t have the capacity to fight among themselves…”

“I also agree. So, if China formally apologizes for this incident and pays sufficient compensation, I have no intention of going to war.”

“…”

“Even if a war breaks out, don’t worry. I also feel responsible, so I am willing to forcibly destroy the world’s large gates, even if not all of them like North Korea. That alone will greatly reduce the burden on the countries of this Earth.”

The world is overwhelmed by the gate disaster alone, so fighting among humans should be avoided as much as possible.

But that’s the situation in Gate District, not us. We were confident in going to war because it was more important to receive an apology from the Chinese who arbitrarily came in and claimed sovereignty over the unification of North Korea.

I wonder if it will turn into a war, but… Anyway.

“Still, as the Ambassador said, we plan to avoid war as much as possible, so please create a space for negotiations.”

“Ah… I understand. Then there would be a need for a third party to attend for mediation.”

“You can bring anyone from the United States or China. We are also planning to bring someone from the dimensional civilization.”

“Yes? From a dimensional civilization? Who…”

“It’s probably been uploaded on a promotional site as a video, right? Why is he fighting with me while destroying the planet?”

“…”

“I have no intention of hiding it, so I don’t care if they announce it separately or keep it to themselves. Then, I’ll see you later.”

Here, a negotiation table with China is created through the mediation of the United States. No matter how much we keep it in check, the United States is a power greater than China, so even if we have bad relations, we cannot just refuse to say things like, ‘Hey, let’s sit here and make peace with each other.’

Moreover, unless the Chinese are all crazy people calling for war, they might compromise to some extent to avoid war. Of course, there is little chance that negotiations will be concluded independently of that.

Afterward, a negotiation event was created where representatives from various countries in the Gate Earth as well as countries in our Earth gathered in one place. Even if there are only two or three people from each country, the venue is crowded with dozens of people.

First, from our Korean side, me, Eve, and Korma attended. Even though I am the CEO, Korma and Eve can both help me with administrative and technical aspects. Eden was busy with resuscitation procedures and did not have an official title to come to such an event, so I deliberately did not call him.

Korma is our Prime Minister, Eve is an artificial intelligence judge, and we are a machine god that is worshiped by Korea… I don’t know if you know it, but Eden is a bit inferior to Eden in terms of political power.

Since it was an important event, we intentionally came a little early, but the Chinese people came last. Still, I made it to the appointed time, but I wanted to criticize him for not planning on coming early, but there was someone who came late.

“Okay then, since everyone seems to have gathered, let’s hold a negotiation meeting…”

“Oh, wait a minute. There’s still one less person here.”

“Yes?”

When I said that few people came, the representative from China, who came last and did not keep the appointed time, came to the meeting with a scolding that I did not do.

“It seems like you have no diplomatic courtesy to come late to such an important event.”

There is a strong sense of hostility from the start. And you can see hostility on the other person’s face.

It’s not simply animosity because we destroyed China’s military and shattered the pride of the Communist Party, but it’s more personal… Ah, looking at him, he looks quite similar to Shangqiao, who we defeated before, doesn’t he?

It seems like they are relatives. So, he must have been an executive assigned to important work such as North Korea’s sovereignty. It may have been an attempt to support a relative, but he died in the end, so he was upset, but I think it was a poor choice to have someone with a personal grudge attend this event.

Why can’t doctors perform surgery on family members or acquaintances? Although there is no legal problem, the psychological burden of performing surgery on someone close to you can lead to mistakes. But what if it’s something like politics?

While wondering what to do, I defended the late Phantom as a friend. On the other hand, the Chinese representative who came last to this event is also screwed, and the initiative is overtaken.

“It’s rude to come late to an appointment. However, the bigger the country, the more people can come late to an appointment than in China, so I think it’s better to accept it quietly.”

“What does that mean? Are you saying that your unified Korea is greater than China?”

“In terms of scale, a unified Korea would be smaller than China, so I wouldn’t say that we are a great country. But it looks like we haven’t heard the news.”

“… What does it mean?”

“It means that they don’t know who the person who invited this time is. We told them in the US, but if they haven’t heard from us… Well, they’ll be here soon.”

Damn it!!!!

And the dimension splits. Like a gate, the dimension splits in the middle of the venue and fragments scatter, showing a familiar phenomenon to them.

Although it may not be a big deal to us, it is evidence of disaster to people here. That’s why there was a big uproar.

“Geez, it’s the gate!!!!!”

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

“Bloody, avoid!!! Call the hunters!!!! Is there anyone!!!!!”

The only ones who calmly accepted it without reacting were us and the people on our side of the planet. First, that is not a gate, but even if it is a gate, we have never experienced a gate disaster, so there is little response.

Eventually, the person who emerged from the split dimension was Phantom. He seemed quite sorry because he was late, but he showed up at a good time and was able to take the lead.

“Hey, sorry. I’m a little late.”

“Are you late for pooping?”

“I’m afraid I’ll be late because I’m talking about the bathroom. The situation in the surrounding dimension is a bit, so I was late while trying to avoid the dimensional formation or dimensional pressure. No, even if you go, it will be quite a burden on the force field, isn’t it terrible?”

“Ah, that’s enough. Anyway, sit down.”

A variety of phenomena occur between dimensions as they collide, collide, and become closer to each other. If the space between dimensions gets closer, you may be swept away without a trace by a force that even a decent transcendent cannot withstand.

Even as a Lord, the dimensional pressure is too much to bear? At that point, no matter how powerful the Phantom is, it is right to avoid it. Even if you drive a tank or have good driving skills, isn’t traffic congestion a separate story? Even the Heavenly Demon wouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of dimensional pressure, so it’s worth knowing what level it is.

“What the hell…!!!!”

“Ah, this is the late guest I mentioned earlier. I came as a representative from Dark Lord Castle, a dimensional civilization, to look into the issue of this interdimensional conflict.”

“But isn’t that a gate?!”

“It’s a little different from the Gate, but the concept of tearing apart dimensions is similar. But for beings like us, it’s not that difficult, so don’t worry about it.”

“…”

For a while, the commotion in the conference room did not subside. It seems that the Phantom’s appearance performance was too effective.

If you think about it, showing dimensional tearing as a performance in a place where so many people died because of the gate would be like putting Jews who experienced World War II in a room with strange gases.

Well, maybe it was a bit excessive… Anyway.

After some time, the situation calmed down a bit. People in the conference room were watching the phantom and talking about various things.

There is already a good relationship between our district and the gate district countries, and information is being exchanged. However, China is still isolated. Even the independent Chinese countries on our side are keeping their distance and not having any exchanges with Gate Chinese representatives.

This applies even to the independent state of Beijing, which is relatively close to the existing Chinese government. I like the snake’s head, but on the other hand, since my home base is on the other side of the Earth, I think other countries and I are watching.

“It looks like everyone is gathered, but let’s get started quickly, right?”

“Ah… Yes. I understand.”

And then the negotiation meeting began in earnest. The disorganized atmosphere of the venue was immediately concentrated in one place.

What is important in this situation is the battle that took place in North Korea and what is related to it. As we ask who is responsible, no matter what incident has occurred, we have no choice but to take action to take the lead in this matter.

Therefore, the Chinese representative spoke first. It is to put pressure on us by speaking first.

“This is Standing Committee Member Xiang Huning, representing the People’s Republic of China. I am truly devastated by the recent incident that occurred in the entire territory of North Korea.”

Well… It remains to be seen who will suffer the tragedy.

First, as I expected, he has the same last name as the Chinese officer who was talking about Shang, so it seems clear that they are related. Perhaps that’s why he spoke so passionately and emotionally about our atrocities and such.

“Due to an accident resulting from a simple mistake and a misfire, unified Korea engaged in combat with the People’s Liberation Army, resulting in numerous casualties. This sudden and indiscriminate action deserves to be condemned!!!!!”

“…”

I listened to China’s bullshit in moderation. Don’t you have to pretend to listen first, so you can do something later?

Phantom stepped forward and took the lead in the meeting, overtaking the original chairman of the negotiation meeting. It is like removing a stone stuck in a rolled stone, but if the presence of the rolled stone is at the level of Mt.

“If a dispute arises, the one who made the mistake first is at fault. Is there any rebuttal to China’s claim?”

“I will submit related data regarding that. Data showing that Xiang Wei Corporal deliberately fired artillery fire at our side under the pretense of a mistake, resulting in casualties.”

“No, wait. What?!?!”

“You can see it realistically through video. That’s why I prepared for it on purpose.”

As it is a conference venue like this, a projector was prepared. And with Eve’s help, the video is played immediately without anyone having time to stop it.

The video showed Xiang Wei Sangqiao, now dead. And he is secretly giving orders regarding this to a soldier who appears to be his subordinate.

-Sangkyo. Currently, the Korean soldiers are playing and eating and deceiving us. Meanwhile, our soldiers are also dissatisfied…

-Hmm, then let’s pretend it was a mistake and shoot at their camp. Of course, to a place with few people. There will be little damage, and if so, there will be a warning, and they won’t be able to deceive you like they do now.

-Yes? Is that okay?

-The order given to me by the party is to occupy North Korean territory at all costs and obtain a way to advance to the East Sea. If you say it was a misfire, does that mean they are attacking something? Even if that happens, there is no problem because they can use that as an excuse to claim North Korea’s sovereignty.

After hearing the Chinese people’s intentions in very clear quality in the video, all people’s eyes turned to the Chinese representative.

On the other hand, it is not a place where there are only people who are hostile to China, and China is not an idiot, so representatives from countries gathered to take their side are also present. However, with clear evidence right in front of us, the allies we brought in were useless.

Since ancient times, there is nothing more difficult to wage than a war without cause. It is only natural that there is a lot of pressure externally and there is little sympathy internally. Moreover, if you look at China’s atrocities from the perspective of another country, even if you are an ally, you will inevitably lose affection.

Standing member Xiang Huning, who was in a cold sweat, stood up from his seat and shouted.

“It’s a conspiracy!!! It’s nothing more than an attempt to tarnish China’s prestige with fabricated evidence!!!!!”

It is a counterargument, but it is an extremely weak counterargument. Phantom then asked me whether I had a counterargument to that counterargument.

“They say it’s manipulation. What do you have to say?”

“This data was obtained by Eve through Gaia Records. So it would be best if Eve spoke.”

“That’s right. This data was obtained through separate research with the access rights I obtained through Gaia of this Earth. I will tell you on the basis of my authority as a machine god that the data is the truth without an ounce of falsehood.”

“That’s true, but does China have any rebuttals?”

“Wait!!!! Why are you in the role of chairman!!! And do you think that the remarks of an individual who is not even a party can serve as testimony in a situation like this?”

“Ah, that’s because it’s a habit… To be honest, except for my brother, everyone in the dimensional civilization is rude in front of me. And God can’t deny himself. If he does, he’ll either die or suffer damage equivalent to that. Eve, the machine god, If you said that, I don’t think there was any manipulation of this data.”

“What…!!!!”

And the phantom exudes vitality. I’m not as skilled at cutting people as I am, but just as each person’s hunting skills are different, the phantom’s unique fear of the abyss that comes from killing people gives me the creeps differently.

If what my way of living stimulates is the fear of death, what I see when I see the phantom is… Well, the fear of despair that even if I die, there will be something even more terrible? That’s roughly it.

“This is the place to decide whether there will be an interdimensional war. It is not a place to force or lie, but to grasp the evidence and determine who is responsible and at fault. I will look at it objectively and make a decision. It would be better to tell the truth rather than bullshit.”

“…”

It’s really, really, really China’s last chance. The reason Phantom says that is to say, ‘I want to remain neutral and avoid war, so speak honestly.’

If Phantom were to compromise and not go to war, I wouldn’t do it because he would have some face and would like to avoid people dying as much as possible…

Hmm, well. I wonder if the Chinese are like that.
