"Isn't it normal for the Speaker of the Council to do whatever she wants?" Luo Cuilian stared at Tokushima Saeko with some surprise, not understanding why she would ask such a question.
Saeko Busujima was speechless; she found herself completely unable to respond.
Waver bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't suppress his curiosity and cautiously asked, "Um... Mr. Aizen, may I ask you, how far have you gotten in tracing the origins of the Disobedient Gods?"
Aizen's eyes flickered. He calmed himself down and said softly, "I've already entered the Netherworld... After a while, I should be able to find Pandora's whereabouts, right?"
"Once Pandora is found... then the truth about the god of that world will be fully revealed to me."
"...Has it really come to this?" Accelerator's eyes flickered.

Chapter 399 Emperor Qing: To be an emperor, one must be more ruthless and rational than anyone else! (First Update)
"I think you're being too optimistic." Madara Uchiha sneered. "Let's not even talk about whether you can find Pandora... Even if you do, she might know some of the secrets of the Rebellious Gods, but she probably won't be able to help you create a Rebellious God in another world."
“We have to give it a try.” Aizen shrugged. He knew all too well that the chances were slim. But this was the only valuable clue at the moment, and he could only follow it step by step.
In any case, Aizen had already prepared for the worst.
If he still hasn't received reliable news after the planned time has passed... then he will retreat without hesitation.
While the God of Disobedience intrigued him, the world of Death Gods was his true base. He needed to be present when executing crucial plans.
“Mr. Aizen, actually I think… if you had followed Mr. Fourth and sincerely asked him questions, you might have obtained more information… than you would have obtained by asking Pandora,” Huang Rong muttered softly.
Aizen gave Huang Rong a deep look and said frankly, "I know this, but I dare not ask."
Aizen made no attempt to hide his apprehension.
It is never shameful to be afraid of such a being.
Huang Rong was speechless. She thought about it for a moment, putting herself in Aizen's shoes, and then realized... even with her quirky personality, she would probably make the same decision as Aizen in the end.
Conan straightened his red bow tie, his mind racing. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he abruptly turned to Number Ten. "Mr. Number Ten, may I ask you... about information concerning the Disobedient God?"
The Hall of Mist fell silent instantly, and even Aizen's heart skipped a beat. Right, how could he have almost forgotten about that?
They weren't familiar with Number Four, so naturally they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Him and were quite reserved. However, they had spent a considerable amount of time with Number Ten…
More importantly, even if something is touched upon that shouldn't be asked... with the Speaker of the Council watching from above, and given Number Ten's personality, the questioner won't be in any danger.
Ultimately... as long as they strictly follow the words of the council chairman and the rules set by the council chairman, they will be absolutely safe in the mist space.
Su Han's lips twitched as he looked at the group of people, muttering to himself, "How should I know?"
If Luo Cuilian were to perform a ritual to appease the heavens in the Godslayer world, thereby granting the Misty Space immense control over the Godslayers, then perhaps she could perfectly replicate the mechanism for the birth of disobedient gods within it…
Now? Letting him observe Pandora's location is fine, but letting him investigate the nature of the disobedient gods and see what principles led to their birth? And you want to get important information for free? Keep dreaming.
"Aren't you going to talk?" Tony Stark looked at Number Ten with a deep gaze. Number Ten remained completely silent from beginning to end, as if he hadn't heard their questions at all.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind. Finally, Tony Stark exhaled and said meaningfully, "Looks like this involves some kind of taboo."
After a moment of silence, Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the distorted star behind Number Ten. Yes... Number Ten has always been very helpful.
He remained silent, either because He truly did not know, or because He knew too much and understood that such knowledge was not for them to grasp, thus maintaining His silence… much like a distorted star. They were still not qualified to touch or observe it!
As far as Sawada Tsunayoshi is concerned, the latter possibility is more likely.
"Boring." Accelerator sat expressionlessly in his seat, his red eyes sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Emilia. "That white half-elf over there, how has your world been lately?"
"Ah...Eh?!!" Emilia was startled for a moment before realizing someone had called her, and she was somewhat flustered and surprised. After all, her presence in the council had always been very low.
Taking a few deep breaths, Emilia calmed down. She organized her thoughts and whispered, "My world... has become quite nice, hasn't it? Because of everyone's help in the council, many people in the Dragon Kingdom are now willing to help me and support my ascension to the throne."
The original Emilia, due to her background, only had Roswaal supporting her... and Roswaal's support also had its own schemes and purposes.
But now, the situation is completely different...
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Dragon-Protecting Kingdom, there was no doubt that Emilia had a good relationship with that group of powerful beings possessing world-destroying abilities…
If Emilia really becomes queen, then wouldn't this group of powerful beings with the power to destroy the world indirectly have a good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom?
Many powerful families, holding this view, changed their previous indifferent attitude and stepped in to push Emilia to the position.
“However, I still maintain the same thing! Emilia… you are not suited to be a queen, absolutely not.” Huang Rong said lazily. She wasn’t trying to discourage Emilia; she was simply stating the truth.
"An emperor must be more ruthless and rational than anyone else! He must know when to make the most correct choice, know how to make choices, and possess great wisdom... He must be able to see through the fog of future history, not be impatient for quick success and instant benefits, and do what should be done in the present." Emperor Qing said quietly.
Emilia lowered her head. Although she felt somewhat resentful, she knew that... what those guys in the council said was true.
Her personality was indeed not suited to be a queen... but even knowing this, she was still somewhat unwilling.
“Actually, Miss Emilia’s country is more similar to medieval Western European countries, isn’t it?” Weber said softly. “Medieval Western European countries are completely different from the dynasties of China throughout history, and their governing philosophies cannot be equated with them.”
Ying Zheng remained noncommittal. "Indeed... I have studied the future of the West, and their emperors do know that it is quite different from what we in China understand. But so what?"
"No matter where the emperor is, a firm will is the most basic standard... Without the determination to bear the hatred of an era... what reform? What great emperor? What great king?" Ying Zheng's words naturally carried an air of dominance.
“You’re right… No matter where you are, a person who is too kind can never be a king.” The white-bearded man sighed softly; he actually agreed with what Ying Zheng and Emperor Qing had said.
