**Chapter 438: All-Out War Begins, Star Gate Upgrade!**
Regardless, the next fork in the road of the World's fate once again arrived before Im, who was seated on the Empty Throne.
As the true 'Captain' of the World Government, this 'Large Ship', he had to quickly make a choice concerning the entire Sea Star Civilization. Either upgrade the third Star Gate to medium-sized and wage all-out war against the opponent, or close the Star Gate and concede defeat.
Which to choose?
"Is it really the 'Attack on Titan' World? If so, there's nothing to say, we definitely have to go to war. There's nothing to fear at all. But what if it's not?"
"What if it's truly as I thought, and the other side is actually a powerful Technological Civilization with Giant Mecha or War Robots, or even one that can achieve Future Sight through Technology?"
Im could indeed close the Star Gate at any time, but the problem was that the opponent had a very strong Future Sight Ability, so they must also know this.
Then why did they still dare to dispatch large troops to invade the World?
A moment later.
Im received another 'Future Vision' personally drawn by Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Although it was only drawn with a simple pencil, the drawing skill was indeed good.
While it couldn't be called lifelike, it allowed people to clearly see the specific appearance of the hundreds-of-meters-high Star Gate and the 'Iron-Armored Giants' pouring in from below.
The picture even included the combat postures of Garp, Newgate, Sakazuki, and others.
"Is the smoke on these 'Iron-Armored Giants' steam?"
Im squinted his eyes and scanned the drawing back and forth. He increasingly suspected these Giants were products of The Rumbling, but steam was also a major characteristic of Punk Civilization.
It was perfectly normal for Heavy Robots of a Punk Civilization to emit steam!
"A Steam Civilization with Future Sight Ability, capable of creating High-Strength Crystal and Giant Robots... Are there such Fantasy Works in Japanese Anime/Manga?"
"Or rather, is the Stargate World actually not limited to Japanese Anime/Manga?"
It must be said, Im also fell into a dilemma. After all, he was not an omniscient and omnipotent True God. But in the end, he still had to make a Decision.
At the same time, the World Government's Propaganda Department also started getting busy. According to the requirements of the Higher-ups, they edited the recorded Footage from the opening of the third Star Gate into a thirteen-minute introductory video.
The content was the various explorations and tug-of-wars conducted between the World Government and the Otherworld Civilization during this period. It even included Footage of Cipher Pol members and Biochemical Research Institute Researchers being attacked by the enemy.
But the most impactful part was the content of Army General 'Black Rhino', Byrnndi World, and fifteen Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals being blown up alive by the opponent.
This attracted most of the citizens of the World. Their mood changed from initial curiosity and surprise, then to astonishment and shock, and now even turned into terror.
Finally.
The Sea Star People witnessed what Otherworld Conquest was like – a terrifying Battlefield where even existences like Admirals could die in battle!
Immediately after.
Another World Public Broadcast began. The special correspondents from the Propaganda Department started entering RL1855 Area to install various Visual Den Den Mushi. Morgans even came personally, becoming the only reporter responsible for aerial shots this time.
"Big News! Big News! There will definitely be Big News! Hahahaha—"
Morgans was now completely unconcerned about the matter of his Newspaper Agency being forcibly annexed by the World Government, because he had already discovered that he could now access more and bigger News.
On the other side.
Tesoro and Stella were currently sitting in the recording studio newly built by the Media Agency. They would next act as the most famous Star couple, explaining the entire Live Broadcast process to the citizens of the Whole World.
It is worth mentioning that this Live Broadcast was also aimed at the Kabaneri World and Demon Slayer World, allowing them to deepen their impression of the World Government.
But these were not worth too much attention for the World Government, because they are Hen Mang now.
Or rather.
The Army, Air Force, and Marines were all busy.
The Command Department had received orders from the Five Elders. The Whole Army was to initiate the highest level of War preparation. They decided to wage all-out war against this third Other World!
To be honest, as soon as this order arrived, it truly made Kong 'The Iron Fist', Raimon, Sengoku, Garp, Sakazuki, Newgate, Kaido, Bullet, and others Blood Boiling.
They even thought the World Government would likely back down. After all, for such uncertain matters, the Five Elders always habitually prioritize stability.
But the person who made the Decision this time was Im!
One who, although having a thousand years of Lifespan, is actually a Young Person who transmigrated from Another World.
Since the control of the Star Gate switch was in his hands, Im was not afraid to fight them and see. If they really couldn't win, they would just 'close the door' then!
So, fight!!
With an Order given, the World Government began operating at full power.
They directly designated RL1558 Area, where the third Star Gate was located, and the adjacent RL1557 Area, where the second Star Gate (the Demon Slayer Star Gate) was located, as well as the empty RL1559 Area, as the Main Combat Area.
Immediately after, the Construction Department once again pulled over tons and tons of Stone Material, having Pica urgently create a sixty-meter High Wall that could enclose these three Areas.
As for Fortresses, Trenches, and the like, in front of the opponent's fifty to sixty-meter-high 'Iron-Armored Giants', they had no meaning at all.
The Army Headquarters dispatched seven hundred thousand Military Strength to enter these three Areas in batches. Plus the previous three hundred thousand Army, they formed a million-strong army.
It's not that Marshal Raymond couldn't produce more Military Strength, but rather that these Soldiers holding Automatic Rifles wouldn't have much more meaning no matter how many there were. It was better to keep them guarding the rear.
However, Heavy Firepower was sufficient!
One by one, Heavy Howitzers, which had long been modified into Jet Bullets, were pulled over. Together with the two thousand Heavy Howitzers previously set up, they formed a massive Artillery Cluster numbering over four thousand.
Don't think there are few cannons compared to the enemy World. After all, the Army was only a Second-Rate Force in the World Government before.
In fact, the main Combat Power of this War was actually still borne by the middle and Higher-ups. Only they could deal with the sixty-meter-high 'Iron-Armored Giants'.
Anyway, the current World Government thinks this way...
"Look quickly! The Giant Unit!"
"Wow, so many Giant Tribe members!!"
At this moment, citizens in Various Places and countries across the World all exclaimed in surprise. Especially the Sabaody Archipelago, where Humans and Fish-men were mixed, screamed repeatedly. They stared dumbfounded at the spectacular scene on the super large Virtual Screen.
That was several thousand Giant Tribe Warriors draped in Black Justice Coats! They wore Black Armor whose surface was covered in Blood-colored Markings, holding various Black Greatswords, Black Greatsabers, and Black Great Hammers also covered in Blood-colored Markings!
Each of them had a Height of around twenty meters, and the length of the formation was vast and mighty, could not be seen to the end at a glance.
This was the current Army Headquarters' Giant Unit, numbering over two thousand!
In addition to this.
In a certain hidden corner of Zone RL1558, a team of about four to five hundred people, each wearing a Black Suit, quietly gathered here.
The leader was none other than Captain Steve Gus. What was surprising was that his arm that should have been broken has now recovered completely.
Behind him was Mekko from the Kabaneri World. It is said that the two are already boyfriend and girlfriend.
Looking up to High Altitude.
Twenty Flying Warships stood ready. Air Force Admiral 'Kizaru' Borsalino and Air Force Admiral 'Azure Dragon' Kaido each stood on the Deck of a Warship. Marco and King were also silently waiting behind them.
BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin was stepping on her Prometheus and swaying back and forth, looking here, looking there, like a Girl waiting for a good show to start.
Below, in front of the Trench directly facing the Star Gate Camp.
Army General 'Akainu' Sakazuki, Marine Admiral 'The Fist' Garp, and Whitebeard Newgate stood in the first row.
Army Admiral Candidate 'Ghost Shark' Bullet, Army Admiral Candidate 'Sand Crocodile' Crocodile, Navy Admiral Candidate 'Aokiji' Kuzan, and others lined up in the second row.
Further back, one could see dozens of Powerhouses mixed with former Marine Vice Admirals, former Whitebeard Pirates, and former BIG MOM Pirates, such as Army Lieutenant General Shiryu of the Rain, Army Lieutenant General Charlotte Oven, and Army Lieutenant General Onigumo.
And below the Red Line, Marine Warships also docked on the Sea on both sides, constantly monitoring the Situation above.
Truly the focus of all eyes, truly the Whole Army preparing for War!
Above the Moon.
Im stood above Noah's Ark, looking at the already opened Star Map and Star Fate. He coldly looked at the Small Star Gate that was only three meters high, and finally just let out a light snort, but didn't say a word.
Since the Decision to wage War has been made, anything more said would be nonsense!
The next moment.
As his Mind moved, he chose to upgrade the Star Gate without hesitation!
In an instant.
The Small Star Gate in RL1558 Area bloomed with bright Starlight that was extremely dazzling even during the day...
Today it's not very convenient to explicitly state which world it is here, so I'll just say it directly. The third world is "Attack on Titan". To the readers who were urging, you won. Although I still don't know what you were rushing for.
