Chapter 7: The Five Elders' Fury, the Plan on the Verge of Collapse
Chapter 7: The Five Elders' Fury, the Plan on the Verge of Collapse
"Retreat!" The CP0 leader's voice trembled, filled with despair. In the darkness, Kizaru's golden beam of light resembled the Grim Reaper's scythe, instantly reaping the elite assassins. The leader had barely taken a step when Kizaru lazily appeared before him, chuckling, "Oh dear, you Five Elders are quite bold, actually sending CP0 to deal with me."
"You...you're a demon!" The team leader's face turned deathly pale instantly, never expecting Kizaru's power to be so immense. As the World Government's elite force, CP0 had always been the Five Elders' trump card, specifically designed to deal with all sorts of difficult enemies, but now, their elites were as vulnerable as ants before Kizaru.
Kizaru yawned, his tone still lazy, but the next second, killing intent suddenly erupted from him: "Oh dear, mission failed... Where do you think you can escape to now?"
A flash of golden light appeared, and the temperature in the air seemed to rise several times in an instant. The CP0 leader didn't even have time to react before his body was reduced to ashes by Kizaru's attack.
Meanwhile, Isaac stood atop a distant high-rise, overlooking everything with a cold smile. He knew the Five Elders' counterattack had begun, but this operation had not only failed but had also dealt them an even greater blow.
"System, report on the current progress of the plan," Isaac commanded coldly in his mind.
[Ding! Current progress update:]
High-level destabilization plan completion rate: 40%
The Minister of Intelligence has successfully spread information about the conspiracy, and other high-ranking officials in the World Government have begun to doubt the Five Elders' ability to rule.
The logistics department cut off some resource supplies, which restricted the Five Elders' movements.
Isaac nodded, secretly pleased. The Five Elders outwardly still controlled the World Government, but in reality, their rule was being gradually eroded. By controlling intelligence and resources, Isaac was slowly dismantling their power, and the Five Elders were not yet fully aware of it.
"Young Master, the CP0 forces sent by the Five Elders have been completely wiped out." Kizaru appeared lazily beside Isaac, his golden light shimmering, still looking relaxed.
Isaac gave a cold laugh, his tone full of disdain: "They're just making a last-ditch effort. CP0 may be powerful, but they're nothing to fear in front of us."
Kizaru yawned and chuckled, "Next, the Five Elders will probably be getting restless, won't they?"
Isaac's eyes were cold and deep, his tone icy: "The more eager they are, the easier it is for them to expose their weaknesses. Now their prestige has begun to waver, and the next step... we will let the whole world see the powerlessness of the Five Elders."
Kizaru chuckled and asked lazily, "Oh? What brilliant move does the young master have?"
Isaac didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned around, his gaze fixed on Mary Geoise in the distance, his tone filled with icy determination: "I will make the Five Elders admit their defeat."
Meanwhile, in the Five Elders' conference room, the tension had reached its peak.
"CP0... wiped out?" Belmont's face was ashen, his eyes filled with shock. As the Five Elders' strongest assassination force, CP0's defeat meant that all their direct methods had become completely ineffective.
"The fact that our elite troops failed to kill Kizaru shows that Isaac's strength far exceeds our expectations," another of the Five Elders said in a deep voice, his expression filled with deep worry.
“Now is not the time to discuss defeat,” Belmont said through gritted teeth. “Isaac’s rise has already posed a great threat to us. If we do not act quickly, our rule will be difficult to consolidate.”
“But what else can we do? The assassination failed, Isaac has Kizaru under his control, and he also controls some of the World Government’s top officials…” Another of the Five Elders was pale, clearly feeling powerless about the current situation.
“We must find Isaac’s weakness.” Belmont’s eyes were cold. “He’s not invincible. Although we can’t do anything to Kizaru, he’s still young and doesn’t have a strong foundation. If we can find his weakness, we might be able to turn the tide.”
"Weakness? He's a Celestial Dragon, the most esteemed being under the Five Elders... What weakness could he possibly have?" another Five Elder said coldly, his tone laced with disdain.
Belmont frowned and pondered for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "Perhaps, we can borrow the power of 'Lord Im'..."
"Im?" Upon hearing this, the faces of the Five Elders suddenly turned gloomy.
“Yes, Lord Im possesses power beyond our reach. If he is willing to intervene, Isaac will find it difficult to escape.” Belmont’s voice was deep and full of authority. “We can end all this simply by asking Lord Im to impose his punishment.”
A moment of silence fell over the meeting room. Despite their immense power, the Five Elders still held a deep reverence for Im, who stood above the world. Im was the true controller of the World Government, and they were merely tools used to manage this world.
“However…” one of the Five Elders said in a low voice, “Lord Im has never intervened in these matters voluntarily. What if he refuses…”
Belmont gave a cold laugh: "If we do nothing, and Isaac completely takes control of the World Government, we won't even have the chance to ask Lord Im for help."
The Five Elders exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, Belmont made the decision: "We will report this to Lord Im and ask him to intervene."
Isaac's side
A few days later, Isaac received an emergency alert from the system.
[Ding! The Five Elders have requested assistance from "Im," and the current situation may undergo significant changes.]
Isaac frowned slightly. The name "Im" was familiar. As the behind-the-scenes controller of the World Government, Im possessed power and status surpassing that of the Five Elders. However, information about Im was extremely scarce in the world; even many Celestial Dragons were unaware of his existence.
"Is Im finally going to make his move?" A cold glint flashed in Isaac's eyes.
Kizaru appeared beside Isaac, still looking languid: "Oh dear, young master, the situation seems a bit complicated. Lord Im is the ultimate power of the World Government."
Isaac calmly pondered: "System, analyze Im's potential threats."
[Ding! Im possesses power surpassing that of the Five Elders, presumably the ability to manipulate time and space. The system assesses Im's power as extremely formidable; caution is advised.]
Isaac's brow furrowed even more. Im was not only a formidable opponent, but his power might even surpass all conventional abilities.
"Young Master, the Five Elders are clearly going all out this time," Kizaru yawned. "However, I still believe you must have a plan, right?"
Isaac smiled coldly. Although the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, he was not afraid: "Im may be powerful, but he is not invincible. I have the system, and sooner or later I will control the rules of this world."
His eyes flashed with intense light, and he immediately issued a new command to the system: "System, unleash the power of higher authority."
[Ding! System notification: The current mission progress must reach 60% or more before the next stage of 'Power of Destiny' can be unlocked.]
Isaac smiled slightly. He knew he needed even greater power to fight Im, but that didn't mean he would back down.
“Alright, let’s move forward with the plan. With Im’s intervention, I will have complete control of the World Government,” Isaac said in a low voice, his eyes filled with determination.
