Versatile System Online

"And that's what happened," the dean concluded.

"Hmm… that does seem like a problem. However, the bigger problem is finding out the ones supporting the otherworld. Hence, I suggest two things. One, we use what little time we have and prepare for the merge, and second, we find the traitors and execute them on the spot. Any issues?" The commander-general said.

"Hmph… no issues. However, I do want to question one thing," Russia's president asked. Scratching his chin, he eyed Ray; who stood behind the dean and spoke, "I don't understand one thing, how did a mere kid in the Mortal Realm fight against the heavens while the one at Celestial Realm was only able to defend? After all, even thinking of this prospect is outright impossible,"

As Russia's president spoke with his glib tongue, many nodded as even they questioned this prospect of the dean's story and considered it to be false.

"Prometheus, you have to clarify this," the commander-general said. Even if the man was on the dean's side and wanted to help him. He couldn't do so brazenly, not without consequences though and right now, the commander-general didn't want the relations between nations to go awry just because he supported a pupil of his.

Hence, the commander-general decided to question his pupil and resolve the matter. After all, he knew that the dean wasn't the type of person to lie; Well, not without a good backstory. Hence, everyone looked forward to the dean's answer.

On the other hand, hearing the question, the dean nodded and said, "First of all, I had just come out after fighting against a celestial. Therefore, not only did I suffer many injuries that hadn't healed till then but I had also lost a good amount of mana and energy. Hence, I remained passive and was waiting for a moment to strike back. Not to mention the fact that heavenly lightning is a special type of lightning against which I am naturally at a disadvantage," the dean said, pausing for a couple of seconds; he continued,

"Ray's inclusion wasn't planned. The kid came on his own and all he did was to try and help his mentor," the dean said, pointing towards Ray as he stepped to the side and pushed him forward.

"I get all that but it still doesn't answer the question asked," Russia's interior minister asked. The man looked very elderly but the clever glint in his eyes put Ray on alert.

"That guy is dangerous," Ray thought to himself as he glanced at the dean who stood besides him and saw the man nodding imperceptibly.

Ray exhaled lightly as he understood what the dead implied with his nod, "That guy is very dangerous. Be careful,"

Thanking the dean for the timely warning, Ray stood with his back straight and prepared himself to answer the questions that would be thrown at him.

"Why don't you ask him?" The dean said.

"Okay," Russia's interior minister nodded and turned to Ray as he asked, "Care to explain how you did what your dean just told us about,"

As the interior minister asked, he asked the question in a very sarcastic tone to annoy Ray and tick him into misbehaving. However, Ray had already been warned by the dean. Hence, he kept his mind clear and calmed himself down as he answered,

"I was able to do that due to my system," Ray said. Choosing his words very carefully, he gave the credit to his system as Ray knew that asking anyone important info about how their system functions or what special ability it grants was considered a big taboo.

"Care to 'explain'" the interior minister questioned again, emphasizing the word explain as he tried to pry more information from Ray.

"Although I can't tell you much, I will tell you about what I could," Ray said, "The thing is that my system allows me to wield the lightning element and through continuous practice, I have reached the point that I can fuse it with my body. Hence, I used my mana and integrated it with the lightning bolts descending from the sky and used my body as a conducting rod to deflect them back," Ray said.

"Hmm," the interior minister nodded and stayed silent. Even though he wanted to fish out some more information about Ray, he didn't as he knew that asking further would only ruin his image as he would be asking not about the situation that occurred but about Ray's abilities.

On the other hand, the commander-general nodded in appreciation as the answer given by Ray didn't leave a single opening that the interior minister of Russia could use.

"With that said, I guess the situation is clear. Another thing I want to talk about is the security of our people when the merge would happen as portals would open everywhere and even natural disasters could occur. Therefore, I want all the nations to take precautions for that and make a separate body to deal with it while I also request the individual participants to help out in this," the commander-general spoke and asked, "Any issues? Or shall we end the meeting and focus on preparing for what's to come?"

"No issues," China's president spoke while the others just nodded their heads. Although some stayed silent, their silence was taken as a yes and the meeting soon ended.

Within a few minutes, all those who had joined the meeting left as only the dean, the commander-general, and a few important members of the parliament were left. These people stayed as they had to discuss the current problems and find a way to tackle those problems in the most efficient way possible.

However, before discussing that, the commander-general had something to speak,

"From today's meeting I can confirm that Russia wouldn't be supporting any nation during the merge, instead they would look to usurp nearby nations and try to occupy the whole world to rule on it,"

"Outrageous! How could they? We won't allow it," a state minister shouted in anger.

"Calm down and listen to the whole story," the commander-general said and continued, "As I was saying. Russia's ambitions are big and to fulfill them, they might play some dirty tricks and even cooperate with the enemy. Therefore, we need to be alert at all times and consider everything when making decisions,"

"The meeting for further discussion about the state affairs would be held tomorrow as not only are we missing some senators but some of us are very tired as well. Therefore, I want to have a discussion when everyone is present and full of energy," the commander-general concluded.

As he said this, everyone else left the meeting and only the commander-general remained.
