In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"She's probably just shy."

Lister looked at Muzan and laughed.

"Don't you understand? I'll tell you the reason when I have time, maybe it can cure your 'fear of spots'."

"This victory will be a transformative moment for Red Maple Territory."

"I will seize this opportunity!"

“Let’s go back now. I’ve learned a lot of information from those bear-like orcs. If it’s all true, I will take control of the situation, and Red Maple Territory will be able to usher in a long period of peace and rapid development.”

Chapter 65 Chaos Begins

A banquet should naturally be held after the victory.

Lister announced on the spot that meat would be distributed to the entire town in his name to celebrate Mr. Ban.

He then tasked Cortini, Morag, and Chris with handling the aftermath.

After the crisis was over, Lister needed to make many decisions, such as bringing Melf and others from White Moon City and the subsequent development plan for the territory.

Too many things awaited him, but the most pressing matter remained the chaos that was affecting the entire United States.

Therefore, Lister needed to hold another meeting and share the information he had obtained with everyone.

In an open space in the Red Maple Forest villa area, Lister summoned key personnel to prepare for a meeting.

Unfortunately, it seems the stimulation to the spot went too far, as the other party has been locking themselves in the villa and refusing to see anyone.

Oh well, anyway, the squad members can hear everything if there's a meeting outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I am about to say is the current global situation, which concerns all our future actions."

Lister's gaze swept over everyone.

"I have learned the general outline of their plan from the minds of the bear-like orcs."

"The entire orc race, elves, parts of the Dark Court, the undead, and unknown human forces have joined together to plan this operation to gradually encroach upon the United States."

"First, these distinctly different forces were brought together by the leader of an unknown human faction."

"I judge that the leader is most likely from the Holy Land and has an extremely good understanding of the United States and other alien races."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present varied. Aizen quietly adjusted his glasses, while Yuri took a sip of coffee.

People who can pull off this kind of operation deserve attention.

As for the others... Muzan just found it noisy.

"According to intelligence, the leader of this force is the one who developed and spread a mysterious power called 'annihilation'."

"He calls himself the leader of the Annihilation Cult, whose members are not limited by race, including humans, orcs, beastmen, elves, and even the undead."

"Although the only thing the undead can cultivate is 'death energy'."

"These two forces are not important at this meeting, so let's set them aside for now."

"Now I will tell the story of the changes of other races over the past four thousand years from the perspective of the white bear clan."

Lister paused for a moment.

"Four thousand years ago, the White Bear clan, in order to escape the Holy Land's extermination, entered the polar region, which is further north of the Frostwinter Mountains, in a group of less than 10,000 people."

"The area is bitterly cold year-round, making it difficult to obtain food. As a result, the population of the White Bear clan remained at around tens of thousands for the first three thousand years until the last few hundred years when the White Bear clan experienced a population explosion."

"This is because the leader of the Annihilation Cult found them and guided them on how to use the geothermal energy of the polar regions to build homes. He also built a super-large teleportation array in the polar regions, enabling different types of beastmen to communicate."

"After that, the Orcs began to plan to reclaim their land. After discussion, they decided on several races that were the main war blocs."

"These races were responsible for the major offensives in the subsequent war, and other races provided them with resource support."

"Coincidentally, the polar regions are ideal for training warriors, while other parts of the beastmen's territories are suitable for production. With the assistance of plant-based elves, the entire polar bear clan is practically a soldier."

"But relying solely on sustenance would be too much of a burden on other races. Just then, the leader of the Annihilation Cult sent someone to contact them and came up with a new plan."

"The Lord of Annihilation wants to unite the remaining Holy Realm experts from the Orcs, Elves, and Undead to use magic to temporarily banish the Holy Land into a chaotic spacetime barrier."

"In this way, the Holy Land will be unable to support the United States, and the United States, with 90% of its strength sealed, will become meat on the chopping block."

"Not long ago, it seems that something unexpected happened, which forced the Lord of Annihilation to take action ahead of schedule and banish the spacetime where the three holy lands are located. However, the holy realm experts of various races cannot go too far because of the seal."

"Even the strongest among the various races now wouldn't be much stronger than General White Bear this time."

Lister's tone even rose slightly as he spoke.

This means that even if other races launch a strong attack on Red Maple Territory, as long as Ban is there, they will simply rampage and slaughter everyone.

"Therefore, I judge that after the news gets out, the alien races will become wary of Red Maple Territory and avoid our actions!"

Immediately, many people present breathed a sigh of relief.

The main problem is that so much has happened in just two short days; it's really a test of one's mental strength.

Melfie, in particular, plopped down on the ground as soon as she heard that she was finally free from tension.

She and her family lost their territory of White Moon City and could only stay temporarily with her younger brother, Lister. The war had not helped them at all, and she was extremely anxious.

Now that we don't have to worry about safety issues anymore, she'll definitely come in handy.

"But we cannot let our guard down."

Lister clenched his fist, his tone firm.

"Now, foreign races are encroaching on the lands of the United States from all directions to obtain resources and expand their power."

"Although the kingdoms and empires will resist, given the current state of the United States, its fall is only a matter of time."

"We have already incurred the enmity of the orcs, and the possibility of peaceful coexistence in the future is very small, so we must compete with them in terms of development speed!"

"Before the Holy Land returns to the world, we must grow stronger! Strong enough to protect ourselves!"

This is a race!

If you lose, you can only submit to other forces!

He absolutely cannot lose!

……

Meanwhile, at the heart of the United States of Ahmora, in the most magnificent and brilliant starry sky in the world, the only point of light, the center of power, faith and knowledge—the sacred domain where the three holy lands are located, five powerful beings of the Holy Realm, separated by hundreds of kilometers, formed a massive magic circle in a pentagram formation.

One of the handsome, black-haired men, dressed in a green mage's robe, stood in the air, silently watching the magical spacetime barrier.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from it, traveling hundreds of kilometers to hit a distant mountain peak, annihilating it into ashes.

"Teacher, it's no use."

"Is there anyone who knows the layout of the Holy Land better than me?"

"Even if you use an amplification array to force your magic through the distorted spacetime, you still can't hit me."

Suddenly, a blurry human face appeared, cursing angrily.

"Wordsworth! Why would you do such a thing?!"

Do you know how much loss and damage you're causing to the world?!

A young-looking man named Wordsworth raised his hand and placed his index finger in front of his lips.

"Teacher, I've explained this many times already."

"You know my personality, right? What I hate most is things that never change."

"For example, the United States, or the Holy Land."

The face was distorted beyond recognition.

"Just for this?! Just for the change you wanted?!"

"How far will you go in committing evil before you stop?!"

Wordsworth's body began to tremble, and his laughter gradually became more unrestrained.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good? Evil? Old man, are you still arguing about this so-called good and evil?"

"To the United States, I am indeed evil."

"To those alien races, we are all evil."

"And what about the vast and boundless world? There is no good or evil! There is only change!"

Wordsworth clenched his fists, his tone full of sincerity.

"Teacher, don't you understand?"

"The only constant in this world is change itself."

"You exhaust your wisdom to research a society that can last for ten thousand years, but what era stands still?"

"You cultivated the power of order, sealing away the chaos born from order, but in the end, you inadvertently created me!"

"The world is thirsting for change! And I just happened to be the wind that makes the windmill turn!"

"This world is bound to see a new phase!"

"You old fogies can never stop the birth of a new world!"

Chapter 66 Believe that ideals will not let down those who strive.

Lister was naturally unaware of what was happening around the Holy Land.

During the meeting, Melf stated that there would be no more Grand Duke White Moon, while Lister's parents, Norman and Cecilia, said that since they had retired, they would not get involved. Thus, Lister's leadership position was reaffirmed, and Melf joined the management of Red Maple Territory.

After the meeting, Lister prepared to return to his office to consider the development plan for Red Maple Territory, but Uchiha Madara came to say goodbye, saying he had to return to the ninja world to carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

Now that he has regained his youth, his power has reached its peak, and he has regained his eyes, it is time to collect the tailed beasts and carry out the final step of his plan.

Lister was immediately jolted awake and forcibly kept Ban there, expressing his desire to have a proper talk.

Ban agreed, so Lister pulled Ban to sit down in the villa's living room.

Seeing Lister's serious expression, Ban wanted to hear what the other had to say.
