Chapter 712: Chapter 34 Wisdom is power
" What do you mean by that? I thought your world has superior technology?"
Arthur didn't change his expression at his words, showing a subtle smile while playing with the cuff.
" Do you know why humans are considered a tenacious race? In my opinion, we are probably weakest in terms of physical or any kind of power initially but we never give up.
So, we create things whether they are technology magic, or perhaps even martial arts. To survive, we develop such things by studying."
Johnathan nodded with agreement, expressing his acknowledgement of his stance. Like he said, they had to build a machine that could kill these beasts by studying their bodies.
" So you are saying you are interested in the wisdom of our world even though you can find it almost instantly."
Arthur shrugged his shoulders to leave his idea to his mind. Furthermore, he didn't specify what he could do and what he wanted more to other's dismay. It was like he was shrouded in some kind of mist, not appearing in front of them even though he was there.
" Politeness is a way of a gentleman. Also, if you join the alliance, you will have more benefits than you think. For example: technological blueprints, superpowers, energy channels, etc. However, you must oblige to help others in their needs. Otherwise, you are going to pay big."
The room dropped instantly when Arthur threatened them with his power because he was giving them a way to save themselves. However, everything had value and they had to pay their loyalty to him to survive.
" Hello, this is Major General Ethan of the United States Army. I am the current supervisor of this negotiations and I have the authority to agree. Could you briefly enlighten us about other worlds because we can't risk our men for unknown figures?"
Arthur respected Ethan who didn't jump into the rabbit hole hastily because if he did, he would be disappointed.
" Of course, I know your worry and I promise that I won't send them to their death but I can't guarantee their safety 100 percent. There are many beings that even I can't explain in many worlds like yours."
Kaijuu was a type of monster that he had never seen before and he believed they had research value. A living titan like this monster has such great biological value since their flesh and bones were hard enough to withstand immense pressure, meaning they could turn into weapons if studied correctly.
Furthermore, many scientific developments would occur just by studying their tissue in Arthur's mind since he had the technology to do so.
" But why our world? According to your words, you can fight against beings stronger than Kaijuus."
Arthur didn't deny Johnathan's suspicion, agreeing with him since it was a good point. His library was more valuable than this world and he had no reason to do so.
" Because I am a hero. Unlike politicians, I don't sit in the oval office to watch my people die in the ruins of fallen rocks."
Sanchez and Johnathan looked at him with awe, seeing a halo behind his head as if he was like an incarnation of an angel. He never demanded anything serious except their old technology print and he didn't mention the resource.
"... I will accept your proposal, Mr. Frost. I am not accepting this as a general, I am accepting this as a man who saw a true hero after a long time."
Ethan's voice was filled with emotions as he reminisced his past where he enjoyed talking with his men but only a few remained in this world after accursed monsters appeared from nowhere.
" Good choice. We will send our people to you and you may decide where to build a portal.
I believe you can make it best for the people and don't use it as a personal item."
A good soldier was more trustworthy than 100 good politicians. Hence, Arthur decided to trust him in this matter, leaving the thing to him. Besides, he could take things back if he wanted, so it wasn't much deal.
Meanwhile in his world.
" Shit! What kind of monster are you?"
The nervous scientist lit up his flare, looking at the empty glacial cave with fear in his eyes.
