After being forced to step down, the once-annoying nun eloped with me.

"Then let's ask again when we meet this afternoon."

They approved the Kingdom of Eden's request for a meeting, and the next step, naturally, was to negotiate with Nia, the black dragon of Isgard.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Hao decided to have a meal and talk during the negotiation.

Hopefully, after I inadvertently revealed Larumia's true identity yesterday, the guests from Isgard will show us, the United Nations, greater respect.

Yang Hao left the office with Fen, filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nia the Black Dragon waited anxiously in the reception room.

The existence of the "gods" undoubtedly caused a stir among the high-ranking officials of Isgard. Aside from a few eccentric scientists who wanted to dissect the gods to see how they differed from humans, the vast majority, including the president, believed that it was best to make contact first.

However, if we want to make contact with the current "God", then further friendly relations with the United Nations are definitely essential.

"I hope His Majesty Yang Hao will consider how hard I worked yesterday... Sigh. Why can't I use the dragon egg in my belly as leverage someday? Can't this man just walk around the streets alone?"

The black dragon murmured wearily about some dangerous idea. While the black dragon was anxiously awaiting Yang Hao and the others' reply, in the nearby lounge, Natalia and Naruja were on high alert.

After all, they were core members of the Purple Palace, so Theresa naturally introduced Lalumia's true identity, that is, the identity of [Light], to them.

Faced with Teresa's introduction, and Lalumia's gentle and loving smile that looked almost exactly like Teresa's, it would be a lie to say that Natalia and Naruja weren't nervous.

Because their intuition told them... Lalumia didn't seem to be the kind of being that Teresa described as not interfering too much in the world...

After all, if you think about it carefully, she's already entered politics and has interfered too much in the United Nations... Under these circumstances, to say that this god won't do anything seems like treating us like children.

If that's all there is to it, it's not really a problem for them.

The real problem is... even little Anna, who was originally afraid of Theresa, was attracted to Lalumia. Under the attraction of the deity and the gentle maternal instinct, little Anna no longer cared that Lalumia and Theresa looked almost identical. At this moment, she was comfortably sitting in Lalumia's arms, dozing off.

Watching Lalumia skillfully soothe the child, Natalia and Naruja's alert level rose three levels again.

Listening to Lalumia's casual remark about Yang Hao's exhaustion, the two women raised their alertness level by three levels.

Finally, when they heard Lalumia remind them again, "Be sure to pay close attention to the wolf's hand lurking outside the fence"—or, to put it another way, referring to Elena's interference and direct attack...

The girls' level of alertness has been raised to the highest level.

If Lalumia truly had no feelings for Yang Hao, why would she need to remind them while simultaneously offering information about their opponent's movements in a way that seemed like "caring" for them, thus diverting their attention?

(Has our enemy become another god?)

The two girls smiled bitterly.

What they didn't expect was...

They may face more than just one more enemy: Lalumia.

Because Heilong Nia has been forced to give up due to pressure from within the country.

She was already seriously considering whether, while serving her country, she should also take the opportunity to complete her own important life as a dragon on the continent of Elusia.

As for the legal issues within Germany regarding Issoga?

How can you use the sword of monogamy from another continent to kill the polygamous official here?

Sure enough, if Margarita didn't experience the effects of his hard work, he would still feel quite unhappy...

Black Dragon gritted his teeth and, led by a maid, headed toward the restaurant where the meeting was to be held.

Chapter 8: Eden: Let's Merge! —8K

At noon, in the small restaurant of the Purple Palace, Yang Hao and Fen enjoyed the increasingly delicious food while discussing the upcoming work with the Black Dragon Nia.

There's not much to say about the negotiations with Heilong – basically, what Heilong brought up were just the trivial matters that Yang Hao had previously promised. So, after all the talking, their only progress was that both sides reached a consensus on the "promises".

In short, Yang Hao's goal is to lower the price of magic storage devices, reduce various tariffs on Isgard, and, more importantly, strive to grant Isgard priority in disposing of decommissioned artificial magic reactors in the future.

Although Yang Hao initially wanted to shift the blame to the Kingdom of Eden, he then thought that Nia had already worked so hard for so long, and Ysgard had demonstrated their value and integrity. It would be too unfair of him to betray his allies like this.

So after much thought—Mr. Yang Hao coughed twice and then stated to Miss Nia:

"The price adjustment for the magic storage equipment will be made when the Isgard merchant ship arrives next time—there will be no compensation for the goods already traded this time. Isgard, is that acceptable?"

The black dragon, dressed in a beautiful gown, nodded, swallowed a piece of boiled mutton from the northern grasslands dipped in chive blossom sauce, and smiled:

"Of course, no problem. We understand the importance of adhering to the contract—the magic storage device will be sold at the original price until the next transaction. More importantly... what about the [artificial magic reactor]?"

"We will do our best to secure priority for Isgard in handling the decommissioned artificial magic reactors. But I can't guarantee that Eden's Kingdom will agree, you know?"

"Not at all~ If Your Majesty Yang Hao is willing to put in a word with Elena, I think she would be willing to give it serious consideration... Now that these pre-arranged promises have been settled, why don't we talk about something else?"

"What exactly?"

"Regarding the Sirens—I only realized after returning that the Sirens don't seem to have found a place to use their abilities yet. So I plan to speak with Your Majesty Yang Hao first, so that you can at least understand the Sirens' capabilities before making a decision."

Oh, it was a question about the Sirens.

Yang Hao and Fen exchanged a glance. They hadn't yet found a way to utilize the Sirens effectively. While they knew the Sirens' flesh magic was powerful, figuring out how to use it beyond simply clearing obstacles was a good question in itself...

The United Nations had no experience in having Sirens work, and Yang Hao, as a visitor from Earth, only subconsciously knew the importance of the Sirens' flesh and blood magic. But frankly speaking, it's not very realistic to expect the Sirens to make realistic Happy Cup dolls right now, is it?

So how did Ysgard manage to keep the Sirens employed? If they were just making dolls, they wouldn't hold such a high position in Ysgard, would they?

Faced with the two emperors' curiosity, Nia simply smiled, took a sip of the fruit wine from Gaparia, and began by saying, "The application of flesh magic is very important," before explaining to Yang Hao and the others in detail...

In Ysgard, the Sirens' flesh magic was primarily used in some extremely critical industrial production processes.

Just as the only parts of a life-size figurine that can be imbued with flesh magic are three indescribable areas, in industry, the Sirens' flesh magic can be used for things like rapidly clearing designated obstacles, creating bio-industries, and most importantly, treating surgical wounds—the Sirens are not only natural masters of flesh magic, but they are also invaluable doctors in Ysgard. It can be said that as long as the brain can be preserved, the Sirens have the ability to create a new body for that brain.

However, due to the limitations of magic in Ysgard, the Sirens rarely utilize their flesh magic to its fullest potential... But in summary, they still hold an extremely important position in both major industries:

1. Bio-industry.

Second, medical trauma.

If the Sirens could be granted the right to work in these two professions, they could provide enormous assistance to their respective countries... But, to be fair, this is actually somewhat awkward for the United Nations...

On the one hand, there's the issue of medical trauma. The elves' magic can even make severed limbs grow back—in a sense, except for the extreme case that Nia mentioned, where only the head is left and the opponent is a black dragon that is almost immune to magic, in most cases... everyone can solve the problem with magic.

Yang Hao didn't mean that they would stop developing medical technology—but rather that the Sirens' position in medicine might not be as high as it was in Ysgard, and in terms of importance, it could only be said that "the future is promising."

On the other hand, there are industrial issues...

The current industrial system of Gaparia is different from that of Isgard—moreover, even in Isgard, there isn't a biological industry specifically used by the Sirens, right? Otherwise, why would you be in such a hurry for the core technology of my steam plant?

Yang Hao's suspicious gaze caused Miss Nia to give an awkward smile: after all, just as Yang Hao would trick Isgard, Isgard would definitely have to trick the United Nations in return...

In a sense, Nia was just making empty promises to His Majesty Yang Hao...hehe.

She chuckled dryly, muttering to herself, "The Sirens' bio-industry certainly has no place in the current industrial system," while simultaneously racking her brains, "I absolutely must make His Majesty Yang Hao see its future value..."

Nia nervously continued to paint a rosy picture for Yang Hao.

After exchanging a glance with Finn, Yang Hao vaguely realized that the Sirens' bio-industry might be able to complement a certain industrial system of the United Nations...

think carefully.

The Sirens' flesh magic can clear away obstacles that were otherwise indestructible, while also protecting units that have not been transformed into flesh.

The Sirens' flesh magic can be effective on inorganic matter.

The greatest theoretical value of the Sirens' flesh magic lies in the potential impact of their bio-industry combining with other industrial systems... and, barring unforeseen circumstances, these bio-industries should also be able to influence changes at the genetic level...

Um...

you say--

(Could we combine the Oak Factory with the Siren's bio-industry, allowing the Oak Factory, which was originally impossible to modify, to regrow a more suitable shape to adapt to future industrial changes after some areas are cut off?)

Yang Hao pondered this big question.

To be honest, in today's increasingly advanced industrial world, many oak factories in Gaparia are no longer keeping up with the times.

The Oak Factory, which is responsible for producing parts for the Japa 1404 rifle, will face closure in five years—partly because the Japa 1404 rifle, as a base rifle, could be replaced by a future semi-automatic or fully automatic rifle at any time.

If even the parts become incompatible, these massive oak factories could become a burden on the United Nations.

Yang Hao loved the oak trees of the Elf Forest, but he also knew that personal feelings were not an obstacle to national change and progress—now, the Sirens' flesh and blood magic offered Yang Hao the possibility of having the best of both worlds.

On the one hand, oak trees cannot be cut down or burned; that's the elves' bottom line. But the elves can accept a certain degree of "improvement" to oak trees without damaging them.

On the other hand, since the Sirens' flesh magic can transform inorganic matter into flesh to quickly clear obstacles, it can also transform half of an oak factory into flesh without damaging the main structure of the oak tree, allowing it to fall off naturally, and then let the oak trees grow into the appropriate shape...

While it's unclear whether flesh magic will fundamentally damage the oak trees, how will they know if they don't try? In any case, felling them is out of the question right now. If even the Sirens' flesh magic can't make the oak trees accept it, then Yang Hao will have to accept the fact that Gaparia's once-advanced industrial zone will become a burden on the nation in the future...

He and Fen exchanged a glance, thinking it was feasible—but then Yang Hao suddenly thought of something else...

If the Sirens, with sufficient magical power, could create organs like the brain...

Wouldn't that mean...?

Has our population problem been resolved?

Yang Hao's eyes immediately sharpened.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Eden, Elena, who was making preparations for her trip in the Great Library, sneezed.

"Achoo!"

She rubbed her nose blankly.

I was thinking to myself, how come this perfect body can even simulate the reactions to illness?

...........

Elena had actually been observing Yang Hao for a very long time.

Through constant, round-the-clock surveillance—she meant the concern between friends—Elena somehow learned what Yang Hao's previous military operations were all about.

She was surprised by the effect of Yang Hao's modification of the airship. After all, even the Kingdom of Eden rarely used airships for warfare. But Yang Hao's modification gave Elena a new idea... Perhaps in the future, the sparsely populated Edenites could also use airships to launch large amounts of magic from high to low for attacks?

Of course, this is just one small thing.

The real big deal for Elena, however, concerns the existence of Lalumia...

"Question: A genuine concept god? But she is extremely weak, currently like a mortal, and could be killed... Dissatisfaction: Why would she value Yang Hao so much for no reason? Logically speaking, aren't gods most likely to overlook the existence of ordinary life due to their long lifespan?"

The synthetic doll muttered to itself as it used magic to change its clothes in front of the mirror.

Through her long-term "concern," Elena learned about Yang Hao's favorite colors and styles—but after much thought, she realized she was definitely not suited to wear nuns' habit, so Elena had to make a choice regarding the colors that best suited her...

Perhaps red clothes would be nice, but after thinking it over, Elena finally chose a blue and white evening gown that contrasted with Yang Hao's current clothes, giving off a sense of being "chosen."

This outfit suits Elena perfectly, except that one part of her body is only slightly larger than an elf's, which makes her less attractive... it's really perfect.
