Chapter 102: For the Crown (7)
"I'm Kwan Dae-ha" I looked down They were a distance away from where I was, so they had to stretch their necks and raise their heads to look at me "Nice to meet you" My introduction caused silence to blanket the noisy council hall, while a gentle light clearly spread across the already-bright council hall
"Oh my God"
"What the hell is this" All the nobles who made eye contact withaides, stepped back hesitantly with slightly weak legs Their carefree demeanor from earlier on had disappeared, as if entirely washed away
I looked around at the 1,132 nobles Two others carried the title of 'Duke' just like Amon, who stood next to me, while there were 25 Marquis who represented a planet and about 300 Counts who represented a nation Everyone else were Barons and Viscounts ere powerful in their own right
aze at the man who stared at me contemptuously The Leonhardt Earded as a Futuristic Era from Earth's perspective, so I noticed he was dressed in extreht now
"Keucckkkk" He groaned once we made eye contact He raised his spirits to the extreaze However, it was a useless atte pan Thoroughly exposed tohis teeth
"To tell you the truth, I don't have such a bad iood," I spoke slowly as he shi+vered and clenched his teeth His eyes were gradually filled with fear before turning away I could see hi doith a thud I added, "However, as I came into this council rooaze kept shi+fting andeye contact with tens and hundreds of nobles, who cowered and plopped down on their seats with a groan All of them were intiave in to me the moment eye contact was made; similar to that one man before
The next person I locked eyes as a woman who stared at me with doubt and curiosity Her eyes had never left e-looking beauty, as about 180 centih and held in place with a hairpin Her expression also stiffened upon eye contact, but her reaction was quite different frohtly lowered her posture in a show of respect It meant that she felt respect, rather than repulsion or hostility towards the soul energy I released Her existence reminded me of the fact that not all of they before speaking up, "Cel and I will be a married couple two days later"
Soe of the space Idol, Celestia, was a big event, but it was nothing ossip most of the time Most importantly, the death of the Emperor caused the event to be entirely buried in the minds of the people
"So, if there is anyone who tries to look down or scorn at her again, from this reat power—a ray of light—was flaring up The incalculable soul energy and the powerful Divine Spirit blazed, shi+ning everywhere I stared at them all "I will hold the whole Empire accountable"
The nobles couldn't even look at me properly It didn't matter whether they were people who possessed enormous authority, or if they were powerful ability users, even the three Dukes ere at the peak of the realm of transcendence couldn't lock eyes with y spread like waves
No one looked at er mattered at this point This was because even if they closed their eyes, or lost their minds, they couldn't help but clearly feel ing you to stop," Duke Aued and weary voice
Since I was already done saying whatever I wanted to, I turned around and stepped down from the podium
"Dae-ha, you"
"Leave it for later" Celestia see and held her hands Just like before, I dragged her along with o out the way I ca a path behind, which the VIPs used separately
"Wait, wait a moment!" There were two transcendents on the path, and they were the two other Dukes apart from Duke Amon One of them was the dark-skinned ritted his teeth and growled, "The Spiritual Pressure It is against the Union Act to emit Spiritual Pressure"
Spiritual Pressure was a pressure that the high-rank beings inflict on the low-rank beings on a spiritual level It was a pressure that weighed on the other person with the power of the soul itself, and was an act that could only be done if there was an overwhel difference in power between opponents
The dark-skinnedto do, since the Union Act clearly stated that it was an act of criy in front of low-rank ability users They thought it was no different from mental domination In other words, it was violence on a spiritual level
The Spiritual Pressure of a transcendent itself had a tremendous i in particular, inferior beings would naturally submit to the transcendents who did not suppress their Aura This also occurred if the inferior beings continuously faced against the transcendents over a period of ti effect to take place, there was a certain disadvantage—the level of the soul would have to be between a transcendent and a common human These details were definitely widely known, so it was no wonder that the dark-skinnedup such a commotion
However, my expression remained rather indifferent I answered, "So what?"
"Wh-What did you say?"
"So, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to run over to the Union and tell on ainst the Union Act, but so what? It was true if a transcendent released his soul energy, it would be recognized as a cri to the Union Act However, it was a relatively light offence There was no way the e crime
Needless to say, even if my action was reported to the Union, the Union wouldn't take any sort of action The Union was a symbolic alliance that united the Great Universe as one, but it was not based upon a concept of governht to myself, 'If they went that far, they would be an interference in the internal affairs of a country'
The Union Act was stipulated in detail, but that was just a kind of guideline that was not entirely ed by the Union The Union would only make a direct move in extreme cases where there was a threat to the Union itself
