Overgod Ascension

In this steampunk world, Gold Oak, Pandorne, and Purple Jinghua are recognized as the three major powers of the world.

Around them, there are other densely numb countries, as well as colonies, that choose to survive in dependence on a great power.

There is also the deliberate intention to maintain independence and to declare permanent demilitarization as a neutral State, as a place for games and mediation among the major Powers, in order to survive in the cracks.

Aledon is one such degree.

Located in the crevices of the three major steam powers, it also has only a dozen municipalities in the country, compared to its neighbors' giant bullies, which seem to be small in any way.

Precisely because of its unique geographical location and in the context of the easing of borders, no major Power has chosen to annex it, but has implicitly divided it into neutral States as its own buffer.

By now, Aledon, by virtue of absolute security, will not be known for the threat of war and will have a reputation throughout the world.

Aledon, Dove City.

On that day, all the streets were cleaned up urgently, a large number of patrols were on the streets, and many more were gathered in front of several embassies with banners such as' Peace, No War ’.

- After the tireless efforts of Gold Oak and Purple Blossom, the key was Chevrolet's compromise, which finally barely promised to open a round of negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the Pandorian Empire's dispute, before either side took the lead in the use of nuclear weapons.

As a result, the people of almost the entire world are celebrating and rejoicing in the brief passage out of the haze of nuclear war and destruction.

A huge armoured airship docked at the airstrip, Chevrolet dressed in military uniform, wearing white gloves, looking at the bustling streets and squinting: “Mr. Ambassador, your citizens are quite enthusiastic! ”

The ambassador of Aledon replied in silence: "This is a spontaneous act of our citizens, and you should see, Mr. President, the prayer for peace in it! ”

“I personally have no intention of provoking a world war and the destruction of mankind, as long as the Pandorne Empire is willing to acknowledge reality! ”

Chevrolet's words made the ambassador frown.

If Pandorne's nobles really knew about compromise, where else would they be needed to mediate?

“In this regard, I am confident that the representatives of Purple Blossom and Golden Oak will consult with you both. ”

Good thing Aledon is just a runner this time, and the real host is still the two.

“Well, I look forward to it! ”

Chevrolet boarded a sedan under the crowd of guards and slowly drove to the National Guest House, where his car was obviously specially remodeled to hear a little boiler noise and not a little trembling along the way.

However, after a few blocks, another convoy slowly drove in, causing the ambassador's face to change instantly: "It's the Pandorne Empire convoy, damn it, that bastard's route? ”

Although he intended to mediate, he simply did not want the pair of wrongdoers to run into each other before coming to the negotiating table, otherwise he did not know what kind of trouble was to be caused.

“The Plenipotentiary of the Pandorne Empire, is it Crown Prince Gordy? ”

Chevrolet looked at the convoy coming in front of him and the cold flashed in his eyes.

The last time the plan to promote peace had failed, he immediately sought out the cause, and it was not until recently that the spy lurking in Pandorne had sent him back detailed information to let him know that he had failed solely because the prince had been fighting hard and had persuaded the noble senate and the emperor, otherwise his plan would have been successful.

Even with the intelligence, there was some ambiguous news, especially one of the speculations that Chevrolet attached great importance to.

“The returner…? ”

He shook down the window, sinking like water.

The convoy across the street also showed restraint, with no provocative moves, and the two sides crossed so slowly.

Just at the crossroads, the middle car also shook down the window, revealing the handsome face of Crown Prince Gordy.

Both gazes looked at each other and seemed to wipe out a spark in the middle of the air.

It was as if time had passed for a moment, as if it had passed for a long time, until the convoy slowly drove away, and the ambassador said, "Fortunately...”

He almost thought there would be a direct fight between the two sides, so his ambassador came to an end. Fortunately, that worst case scenario had not happened.

Chevrolet, at this point, had a more gloomy face, as if it could drip into the water.

In the blink of an eye, he felt that familiar temperament from the other side, more certain that the other side was the returner!

By now, he had finally figured out how his plan had failed.

“I'm afraid this negotiation will be even more difficult! ”

Chevrolet sighed.

Since they are all returnees, understanding each other, as well as the bottom line, and the key clauses, will surely be invincible.

……

The other side.

In the convoy of the Pandoran Empire, the driver in front suddenly turned around: “Your Highness, reveal your identity now...”

“That's nothing? ”

Prince Gordy leaned against the sponge cushion: “Sooner or later, it makes no difference what you always see when you negotiate... I haven't wanted to hide who I am since the last time, but it's a huge victory to keep it that way! ”

“Are we really going to compromise this time? ”

The driver's voice seemed worried.

“Of course not. Now is the best chance to destroy those rebels! ”

Prince Gordy's face is like water: “They are unstable, our land is bigger than him, the army is bigger than him, and most importantly, the number of Thunder God's swords in stock definitely exceeds the other side... and that's why we can't give them time to develop! ”

He is deeply aware of the incredible nature of space rotation.

Just give Chevrolet a break and go through a few more mission worlds, his team will certainly be able to reap a lot of points of contribution and redeem some black technology by then, perhaps on their side.

“Why did His Royal Highness promise them peace talks? Is it because of the Golden Oak kingdom's relationship with the Purple Blossom Federation? ”

“Part of it. ”

In front of his heart, Prince Gordy had a good conversation: “Those two countries, freaked out by our madness, may have stockpiles, but would never dare to throw the Sword of Thunder at each other as destructively as we did, so they prepared a cage for me - the NPT, non-proliferation technology, and promised not to be the first to use nuclear weapons… haha…”

Speaking of which, a ridiculous smile appeared in the corner of his mouth:

“Although both countries are quite afraid of death, force is not a lie. In order to prevent our refusal, they are completely on the side of the Allied forces, so we can still accept some of these clauses. The war of the Sword of Thunder can stop, but ordinary wars must not stop! ”

Prince Gordy resented: “We cannot give any of these rebels a chance to rest and rest, even though we cannot use the Sword of the Thunder God, we must leverage them with the three armies of the sea, air and land with the tremendous victory of the previous strikes! ”

For the kingdom of Gold Oak and the Union of Purple Blossoms, Prince Gordy did grasp their bottom line.

The whole world cannot be buried with the ecosphere, which is the unanimous view of the two countries. If Pandorne ignores this and threatens their basic survival, Gordy has no doubt that these two desperate countries will turn directly around and finance the Freedom League at any cost to leverage the Empire at the fastest possible pace.

But apart from nuclear weapons, I'm afraid their attitude towards the Free Alliance is less than that of the Pandonian Empire.

Nuclear war must therefore cease, but ordinary war must continue.

Perhaps this is also the scene that Gold Oak and Purple Blossom guys would most like to see.

After all, as the war lasted, the Empire's strategic reserves were declining, forcing it to procure large quantities of goods of all kinds from the Golden Oak and Purple Blossom Confederations.

The pernicious consequence of this is the exodus of precious metals and even a heap of external debt.

On this occasion, the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Union of Purple Blossoms have embarked on a rare golden period of development, which has led to a frantic squeeze on the market share that would otherwise have belonged to Pandorne among the colonies.

It is almost certain that Pandorne has fallen from the position of the world's leading power, even though it has remained independent.

……

“Aledon, Dove City! ”

At the beginning of the talks, a train slowly stopped at the station.

Wearing a black trench coat, a hat, sunglasses, a mask, a weirdo who couldn't help but cover his entire face. He also slowly stepped off the platform and looked in the direction of the venue, and his eyes under the sunglasses flashed a strange light.

The steam train ran out of white smoke and made a loud noise, then burst out of the platform.

The weirdo walked out of the train station and immediately saw a huge new slogan on the opposite wall - 'Long live peace’! None of the paint on it has been completely wiped out.

“Peace? Hey...”

Weird people looked at the letters and suddenly lowered their laughter. The voices were filled with sighing and reluctance:

“Where in this world is there real peace? ”

He suddenly thought of himself.

Almost everything was done for the Federation, but in the end nothing was received, and he was disbursed with a small pension.

And the culprit who led him to this situation, because of his powerful power, was embraced as a guest of honor, the differential treatment in which he burned his hatred bears.

Real peace? I'm afraid this kind of thing just happens in fantasy, right?

“Lucius, you're here. Good! ”

At this point, a person suddenly came from the side and his voice rang directly in his heart.

“The returner? ”

Lucius took a deep breath: "Tell me… what exactly is it that you are trying so hard to find me for? ”

“There are just a few small things that need to be done with your expertise…”

And the voice said, "And in return, I'll give you what you want! ”
