“Arthur declared war on Japan. He stated that he will punish everyone involved in his mother’s death, even to the smallest involvement.”
“… So?”
Looking at Yongno’s hardened expression, Youngmin said.
“More than a thousand people have already died.”
***
“Why did you do that?”
The Persian cat on the desk calmly spoke out in a human language.
With black fur and impressive golden eyes, the being had a cuteness similar to that of a Persian cat. The being had an appearance that most young girls would like, but the fact was that the cat, Melton, was one of the strongest transcendents of the Prajna species, and was stronger than any of the Grand Masters of DIO’s Holy Lands.
“What do you mean?”
“Arthur. Why did you let him implode? He was a guy who could have improved and constantly developed, but now he’s all messed up in the head!”
Melton knew that Tan was involved in Hye-ran’s death. Of course, he had no evidence of this fact, since Tan never handled things sloppily. However, as a result of working under Tan for a long time, Melton knew Tan’s way of working, so Melton was convinced of Tan’s involvement after reviewing the information of Hye-ran’s last moments before her death by heart attack.
“That’s exactly the reason why.”
“So… you took action because you knew he’d develop further?”
“Yes. To use the users properly, they need to be at a level just below that of a transcendent. The higher the level, the less control I’ll have of them. Really, this user development system is truly amazing. The Irregulars I’ve seen in my life have always been broken and useless existences, but they are showing amazing results in this system.”
Instead of denying having a hand in Hye-ran’s death, Tan confirmed his participation outright. This forthrightness made Melton make an absurd expression.
“Even so, they’re all under our control anyway. The main purpose of this project is not to acquire a group of slaves, but to increase our collective power. Besides, how strong could they become if they get stronger?”
“You’re very ignorant in these matters, aren’t you? They probably wouldn’t have become a Jesus superstar or a monster like Buddha, but remember that the Empress of Magic, Jenica, and the human god Milleion were also human beings. With the help of the system, the Irregulars were developing too fast.”
“Tan…”
Melton gritted his teeth in disapproval, but he said nothing more. It was because Melton realized that Tan was not in a good mood.
‘Is it because of the Empress of Magic?’
Although Tan had partnered with a Demon King to eliminate Jenica and take control over DIO, Tan had been unable to take full control over the mainframe system that Jenica had dealt with while leading the operation of DIO.
It wasn’t as though Jenica was still operating the existing system’s defensive firewalls and barriers; the defensive firewalls and barriers that were in place when she was forced out remained. However, no matter what the Noblesse did, they couldn’t break through these firewalls and barriers, which illustrated the huge skill gap between the Noblesse and the Empress of Magic. This reality was a thorn in Tan’s side, as he was always proud of the draconic species’ supremacy over other species. Hence, Tan always felt humiliated by this failure.
“Well, this is the only plan of mine that worked out as planned recently. Anyway, now that he’s out of the picture, only Merlin and Cruze are left.”
“Are you going to go to work on them too?”
“Of course. You mentioned that I ruined Arthur… but you never know if it would have taken him several more decades to reach the transcendent realm based on his current trajectory. What I provided him is some stress, and stress is necessary for growth.”
As illustrated in the case of Aung Nina, who reached Level 14 due to the pressure she faced from the Chinese government and through her personal agony of experiencing ethnic conflict, most trials and stresses that do not destroy someone usually made one stronger. Because of this, Tan started his plan of stimulating the development of the largely unmotivated users with various stressors; in essence, he was trying to light a fire under the users to get them to either fall to the wayside or develop.

“Is that why you sent down the seven tailed fox, Miho?”
“That guy was so shocked from the seven tailed fox’s death that his entire personality changed. Besides, he’s also a mage, so he’ll be able to see the true state of her being. Since her body was ‘returned’, the seven tailed fox, no, a six tailed fox now… anyway, he’ll realize the fact that she can no longer be resurrected.”
The restraints the Noblesse faced from meddling in Earth’s affairs were much stronger and expansive than what Yongno suspected.
Currently, the Noblesse were forbidden from [looking down] on Earth using their spiritual powers. They knew about Arthur’s situation in real time thanks to the body camera Arthur wore, which Arthur had consented to in the past. Moreover, the Noblesse were able to still enjoy global influence on Earth because of the Noblesse employees and the communication network they had already established.
‘Of course, mind-controlling the ruling class of humans was the simplest approach.’
However, as Yongno had already experienced, all types of mind control spells had been blocked by the interference of the Nether World, which oversaw order and balance. This begged the question, if the Noblesse couldn’t even look down on Earth, how were they still able to meddle in Earth’s worldly affairs?
Even though running interference using supernatural abilities was impossible, the Noblesse’s influence on Earth was still enormous. Dynamic Island Online, DIO, was known all over the world, and the money the Noblesse earned was astronomical. In addition, because of the necessity of sensors and blockers to fight against the attacking aliens and to keep Masters in check, politicians and rulers in each country did not dare to go against the Noblesse.
‘Besides, humans are stupid. A few words are enough to deceive and to stir things up.’
It was true that the Japanese extreme rightists, who were infamous for being detested even by Japanese people, did a lot of crazy things, but without Tan’s influence and urging, they would not have dared to undertake such a large scandal.
After spreading various rumors of how the Heaven above the Heavens were able to get to where they were after individually partnering with the Noblesse, the illusion that the Heaven above the Heavens members were enjoying their position due to this secretive relationship became a rallying point for the Japanese far-right group. Tan had planted this seed of doubt in their minds, and the far-right group had taken action from there.
“What about Cruze?”
“She’s so low-level that it’s a bit difficult to motivate her through stressors. Outside of her relatively low level, her ability is very limited… the firepower she can exhibit is good, but she’s just a being who is limited to the level of scientific weapons, right?”
Those who were below her weapon’s Stage of Civilization were terrified of her ability, but from the point of view of the Noblesse, who operated on a much grander stage, the great universe of transcendents, her ability to produce and implement weapons was ambiguous at best. Case in point, the most powerful antimatter cannons that she could materialize were just standard armaments of the Noblesse’s medium and large-sized battleships.
“That’s certainly true. In the first place, I had my doubts on whether she could even reach the transcendent realm with such an ability.”
Melton nodded his head in agreement. However, from the point of view of the people on Earth, even this ‘ambiguous’ ability presented a tremendous threat.
The Master’s only weakness was that the time limit of their manifestation was only one hour; however, if someone could create an antimatter cannon in that hour, the destruction one could cause would be catastrophic, comparable to multiple nuclear explosions. Because of this, various secretive national organizations, who constantly collected information on her from other Masters, were secretly moving to capture and contain her.
“Well, I’ll stop here for now. Surely, you’re not going to hold a grudge against me for ruining Arthur’s potential, right?”
“I wouldn’t go that far… but it’s a shame. I was personally looking forward to what he would become.”
“Good. Anyway, you should leave. I’m behind on my work.”
“Alright.”
Melton nodded his head, turned around, and jumped off Tan’s desk. And after leaving Tan’s room, Melton turned his head slightly to look behind him.
‘It feels like something’s out of place.”
However, unlike Tan, one of the elder members of Noblesse, Melton was only an employee, so there was nothing more he could do. Melton and Tan were in the same boat anyway, so Melton had to wish Tan well.
“Hmm, but why am I constantly sighing…”
The black-haired Persian cat returned to his station, while an artificial dreary autumn wind, which Melton conjured, brushed over his luxurious hair. It was time for Melton to continue his efforts in bringing down the firewalls and barriers of the DIO’s defense system.

Seyoung, no, Arthur, visited NNK, a famous Japanese broadcasting company, about six hours after he found out that his mother had been abducted.
After receiving Yusei’s call, the Japanese government mobilized a large-scale police force to find Seyoung’s mother, but in the end, the government’s efforts produced no results.
With the Noblesse’s consent, Arthur pulled out the memory chip on his body camera, which was permanently attached to his clothes, cut and edited the footage of Hye-ran’s kidnapping to the scene of Hye-ran’s death, and stored this video file separately on a separate USB.
“Ahh! Aren’t you a member of the Heaven above the Heavens?”
“Oh! Oh my god! I’m such a huge fan!”
“Oh my God, I’m seeing Arthur in real life!”
“You’re so handsome!”
The far-right groups shouted slogans such as [Get the cockroaches and Arthur out of Japan!], but the general public’s sentiment was much more favorable toward Arthur. Actually, Arthur was quite popular in Japan.
Arthur was a kind of superhero who saved countless people in addition to looking handsome, so he had a good image even among the Japanese people. It was to the point that he had been slated to shoot various commercials on behalf of various Japanese corporations during his visit.
However, there were many Japanese politicians who took advantage of anti-Korean sentiment or people who unconditionally hated Koreans to slander Arthur, but this was a very small minority, and furthermore, most of this happened only on the Internet, so Arthur’s overall image was not bad.
“Don’t be welcoming. I might soon do something to you that you won’t enjoy.”
“… Huh?”
At the announcer’s puzzled look, Arthur gave a bitter smile. What did this announcer ever do wrong? She was just a person who was born in Japan. However…
Boom! Crack!
When Arthur lightly waved his hand, tremendous shockwaves shook the broadcasting station’s building.
The desks around him were pulverized, and a clear crack was visible under Arthur’s feet.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
