[ Empire's Fleet ETA: 7 days ]

Only a week was left and the war against the Meredith Empire would start.

Once it began, it will only end once the opposing side has surrendered or perhaps, eliminated.

There was no way for Wallace to coexist with them and there was no way for the Empire to ignore the rich resources of the planet…

If it's also true that they are here to create some perfect gene optimization fluid with the blood of the Mana Practitioners, then they have to make sure that their planet is united once the Empire has arrived…

"Avalon, are you finished with the preparation for the live broadcast?"

[ We are at 98% Completion Rate. ]

"Ninety-eight?"

[ Yes. Our production of VR Pod just recently stopped and the stocks were still being sent to other parts of the world. ]

[ Makes sense. It's not bad… Can we cover all the countries?"

[ The Island Country of Montego has Mage Towers in every large city that can block our attempt for broadcasting the war. Our only medium that they can use to watch is the VR Pod. If they do not possess one, there is no way for them to know what was happening. ]

Avalon replied truthfully.

Although Veda did its best to share knowledge and connect all the countries with such a high-level information network, the country of Montego didn't exploit Veda's effectiveness.

The leaders of the country decided to suppress information and made Veda only available to five or so people in the country.

They have failed to utilize it effectively.

Due to this, their technology didn't advance that much and they remained dependant on their Mage Tower to establish their power.

Nevertheless, Ace was still quite satisfied with this.

After all, as long as he managed to inform the large countries about the war that is about to happen, they wouldn't be surprised once he decided to return to the surface while being followed by the Empire.

Once they watched the war even a day or two earlier, the leaders of the countries would definitely take action and be united to face a stronger foe.

"Alright, we have also captured better quality images… We can start by spreading these images and give them a bit of engaging caption…"

[ Are we going to spread it through Veda's information network? ]

"Mhmm… Do whatever you think is the best as long as we informed the people we are targeting."

[ Affirmative. ]

By allowing them to see the images, they would be able to realize the intensity of the situation.

"Right, give them some illustration comparing the size of the Providence and the Empire's starship. Everyone should've seen my Spaceship by now…"

At this time, Wallace's spaceships were the standard spacecraft on this planet. They have no idea about the possible spacecraft made by another civilization.

Even the Alien Invasion didn't showcase such a gigantic spacecraft at all…

Nevertheless, everyone should have seen both Excellence and Providence at least once by now. He can guarantee that the space travel that he successfully started has attracted the whole world.

After all, it is an achievement that must be celebrated by everyone not just by the Traceless Hands company…

***

Yumi can finally relax after hearing that the original Wallace has returned.

She immediately visited his home at Mt. Ravencroft but found out that she's not the only one who visited him.

As soon as she was permitted by Avalon to enter the highly protected villa, she noticed a familiar fancy car…

This is Miya's car, the recently popular Celebrity Idol. Her popularity blew up after endorsing the VR Pod to every country on the continent or wherever they can reach.

Not every VR Pod users know Wallace but every one of them knows Miya…

"You're here… The two are talking about something serious… Let's have a drink for now."

As soon as Yumi entered, she saw Miya's manager, Diana Humeray…

She is very relaxed watching the news as she sips some alcohol from time to time… She even pointed to the room where Wallace and Yumi are talking.

"This early? Who's going to drive later on?" Yumi pointed out after seeing her drinking this early in the morning.

"Miya can drive…"

"Haha… Is that so? Anyway, how long they've been there?"

"Who knows? Just let the young ones have their time…"

Miss Humeray replied immediately and it seems that she doesn't care about it.

However, Yumi can feel that this woman is using her Soul Arts to monitor Miya in the other room.

It is an Art that she hates the most since it is difficult to defend against it.

Her Transforming Body Arts would have some troubles facing it.

Due to this, she decided to distance herself from the woman and found a corner to wait…

In the meantime, she also noticed an automaton coming to her.

"Ohh… My snacks the last time I'm here…"

The familiar automaton controlled by Avalon served her some snacks as she waited for Wallace.

It didn't take very long as the door in the other room opened.

Miya and Wallace went out at the same time…

"Miss Yumi! It has been a while." Miya greeted the government official.

"That's true… Both of us has been busy in work…"

"Yumi, what brought you here?" Wallace joined the conversation as he curiously asked her…

"Well, I finally have a rest day… Do you know how much I worked hard in the past few days?"

Yumi had many things to complain about but decided to limit it to few words.

"The Arian Race that your other self sent here on Earth, there's a lot of people who wanted to see them after their presence was leaked to the public…"

The lady then explained the troubles she had.

Apparently, many people are not satisfied with just trusted sources and they want to see these aliens for themselves before they can be satisfied.

Yumi wanted to add more but she suddenly felt something different from Wallace…

"Mhmm… What's with your Aura?"

She stepped back for a bit as Wallace approached her.

The young man smiled and started explaining.

"I've lived together with a Celestial Being for quite a long time, so this happened…"

"Ahh! Now that you said! We just need to save Percival that time… But you decided to have a vacation on the Northern Continent… Sigh~ You're really impressive in many ways…" Yumi added.

In the end, Wallace decided to tell his story on the northern continent.
