Mid Sector 99—Sacred Covenant Cosmic Academy

Temari’s eyes widened sharply as the implications of everything that had just happened continued racing through her mind, then Bam she suddenly shot to her feet and violently kicked the nearest table away from her. "AAAAH!!!" Her furious scream erupted throughout the residence with enough force to shake the entire place around her.

Then she began panting rapidly as she stood there, her breathing becoming increasingly uneven and erratic while her chest rose and fell at a frantic pace, and even her eyes were twitching uncontrollably under the pressure filling her mind. "This is bad... This is really bad..."

The recording had already been given the final order for publication, which meant there was almost no time left to do anything about it. By now, the main display screens spread throughout the Soul Society must have already begun showing it openly to the public, while the Soul Society’s various headquarters located throughout the real world must have already started producing and distributing copies of the recording freely throughout the streets.

She had tried every possible method she could think of to make Morval reverse his decision before it reached this point, but for some inexplicable reason, he simply refused to respond to any of her arguments. She had even asked him to increase the required price by at least a hundredfold, arguing that since this was defamatory material whose consequences would undoubtedly be extremely severe, its price should naturally reflect that fact, while secretly hoping that such an enormous increase would simply make it impossible for the owner of the recording to afford the cost, but Morval had refused even that proposal, citing the Soul Society’s credibility and its long-standing principle of providing equal opportunities.

According to him, he had previously given Renara and Hedrick a complete opportunity to broadcast their events live through the Soul Society without interfering with them, and therefore he was obligated to offer the same treatment and the same opportunity to the opposing side as well. Otherwise, his actions would effectively make him complicit in the conflict, and everyone would inevitably begin treating the Soul Society as though it had officially taken Robin Burton’s side.

Temari had practically screamed at him to simply let everyone treat him as someone standing on Robin Burton’s side, then, because he already hated the other three Cosmic Pillars in the first place, so what exactly was the problem with being regarded that way?!

But... for some reason she still couldn’t understand... Morval had nevertheless given the order for the recording to be published immediately, and he hadn’t stopped there, even ordering that copies of the footage be produced and distributed everywhere so that its circulation would match what had been paid for.

A complete disaster!!

"What am I supposed to do..." Temari muttered anxiously to herself as she tried desperately to find some way to contain what was already happening. "We can still claim that we were merely doing our job because we received payment for the service, but will Lord Robin even care about an excuse like that when he sees what we’ve helped spread?! Damn it..." Then, just as her thoughts seemed to be reaching another dead end, her expression suddenly changed as though she had remembered something important...

Her face immediately rose in shock, and without wasting another moment, she quickly moved toward the balcony before looking rapidly to the right and then to the left, searching the surrounding area with obvious urgency until her eyes finally settled upon the target she had been looking for... a group of the Cosmic Elder’s children.

And fortunately for her, that particular group happened to include the Cosmic Elder’s two eldest children, while roughly twenty more of their brothers and sisters were gathered around them as well, all of them sitting together in a relaxed atmosphere, laughing among themselves and casually exchanging stories.

Temari continued staring at that cheerful gathering from where she stood, already knowing with certainty that the peaceful scene she was currently looking at wouldn’t continue for much longer...

Then, with a trace of wickedness appearing in her expression, she quietly unleashed her tremendous Soul Force with enough precision to avoid attracting anyone’s attention and began secretly listening to their conversation without a single one of them realizing that someone else was hearing every word they said~

"I’m first in my class this month, again!"

"Tsk~ That’s hardly anything worth bragging about. There aren’t any of your blood-related brothers or sisters in your class to compete with you, and there isn’t even anyone from the Burton family there. You’re only competing against the children of ordinary Behemoths!"

"Pfft, no matter how much you try to disguise it, all I can hear in your voice right now is jealousy, Mister Fifth Place."

"Are you actually listening to what this brat is saying to me, Big Brother?!"

"Hmph, first place and fifth place... what complete foolishness from a pair of teenagers who haven’t even begun to understand what true success actually looks like!"

"And is your idea of true success marrying a girl from the Burton family and then having two daughters with her?"

"Having two adorable princesses, if you please!"

"Khh!!"

"Heh~ Is there really any reason for all of you to compete with each other so seriously?" The eldest brother, the very person who had been the first to go out and meet Robin immediately after the agreement had been reached, laughed as he listened to their argument. "As long as every one of you continues doing everything within your ability and genuinely gives it your best effort, then that’s all that really matters. Anyone who does that won’t be scolded by Father, and Godfather won’t be disappointed in them either."

"...What does that have to do with this?"

"....." Everyone immediately fell silent.

Their father’s prolonged absence had undoubtedly begun affecting the emotional state of every one of them, especially because they had been beside him from the very moment of their birth, growing up while playing in his embrace and becoming accustomed to his constant presence around them. After all, every single one of them had been born on that same small island, a place where there had been only one father surrounded by many mothers.

But now their father was nowhere to be found, and they couldn’t even see their mothers anymore... No one among them possessed any way to open a gate leading into that sealed planet!

"Where are they?" The eldest brother grew slightly angry upon hearing the gloomy direction their conversation had taken. "We’re living off everything they’ve provided for us right now." Then he spread both arms wide, gesturing toward everything surrounding them. "We’ve grown up enough and seen more than enough through the Soul Society and all the other adventures we’ve experienced to properly appreciate the level of life we’re enjoying now. Even the children of Behemoths, whom the people throughout the universe place at the absolute highest level and regard as standing above practically everyone else, don’t receive even half the treatment we’re getting... and we’re receiving all of this without paying anything whatsoever or even needing to do anything in return. So be grateful to the people who provided all of this for us and stop complaining!"

Then the young man turned his gaze seriously toward the distance, his earlier irritation gradually settling as he continued speaking. "Our father is the great Cosmic Elder. Perhaps at this very moment he’s carrying out some important mission to save everyone... and our Godfather is the genius Lord Human. Perhaps he’s working on inventing something that will benefit everyone right now..." Then he turned back toward his brothers and sisters and gave them a noticeably forced smile. "Do you seriously think people like them have enough free time to simply sit around and play with us?"

"...You’re right, Big Brother."

"Hoooyyy..."

At that moment, before their conversation could continue any further, someone suddenly appeared approaching from the distance while holding a disc in one hand and waving it conspicuously toward the gathered group.

"Ah!" Temari immediately raised both hands and covered her mouth the instant she noticed what the approaching person was carrying.

She instantly understood exactly what was about to happen without needing anyone to explain it to her... The group-breaker had finally arrived.

"Come, come." The eldest brother among them immediately gestured toward the newcomer when he noticed his hurried approach. "What’s wrong?"

"Look at this. This thing has already started spreading throughout the Soul Society. The moment I saw its preview, I immediately bought a complete copy and came straight here so that we could watch the rest of it together." The young man quickly placed the disc down on the ground in front of everyone.

Then, under the attention of the gathered brothers and sisters, he reached forward and pressed the play button...

Ksh Kshhh

<Greetings, people of the universe. I come before you today carrying a heavy heart and a burdened conscience, and I believe the time has finally come for all of you to share this painful reality with me and see it for yourselves.>

A person appeared within the projection emerging from the disc, seated calmly behind a luxurious desk with both arms resting comfortably upon its surface while his hands were clasped together in a solemn and dignified manner. He wore square black glasses that completely concealed his eyes from view, but despite that obstruction, his remarkable handsomeness and obvious youth could easily be seen through his prominent jawline, his smooth and taut skin, and his meticulously styled hair, which had been arranged with such extraordinary care that he looked as though he had only just stepped out of a beauty salon.

After the first few words emerged from that man’s mouth, several seconds of anticipation followed as all the young people gathered there, along with most of the viewers throughout the universe who were watching the same recording, attempted to guess the identity of the mysterious person addressing them... but they didn’t have to wonder for very long, because the answer quickly followed:

<Before anything else, allow me to properly introduce myself to all of you... I am Lord Qarun, Lord of Thrones, Supreme Commander of the Star Academies system that has protected all of you and safeguarded the righteous path of the universe for tens of millions of years... You are listening to the Voice of Truth.>
