OPI Chapter 325: Whispers of the Void
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 02:06:46 +0000 UTC"There are two problems we need to solve urgently."
Pope Vittorio on the stage did not notice the strange expressions of Biba and Saito and continued trying to stir everyone's emotions with an upbeat tone.
"First, we must unify all the kingdoms on the continent as soon as possible, and then start integrating magicians and armies, making all preparations to retake the Holy Land!"
"Second, find the last Void Messenger and Void Familiar!"
King Joseph seemed to ignore the fact that he had been defeated and captured and joined in the discussion. Because for him, this matter was simply too interesting~
"The first one is not difficult. Now my kingdom of Gallia and the kingdom of Germania have not only lost their kings, but most of their armies have been destroyed. The remaining forces will not offer much resistance."
Hearing him say this so casually, everyone looked at him with a mix of admiration and disdain. This king was truly shameless.
"If Your Excellency Amatori can consider allowing me to govern, the integration can definitely be completed at the fastest speed. I believe I have the ability to do so!" King Joseph looked at Biba and smiled.
"Then you can assist King Wales. If you do well, you will have your own benefits." But Biba just smiled faintly, did not change his decision, and then turned his head and said to him meaningfully.
"Let me give you some advice: broaden your perspective, raise your vision. What you think is important now may seem very small in the future~"
"Hmm?" King Joseph didn't understand. What does expanding the perspective mean? Wasn’t being a king in this world already a great enough position?
"Your Excellency Amatori must be referring to another world. Our world will eventually be destroyed, but there must be a wider world beyond!" Pope Vittorio smiled excitedly.
Julio, who was in the audience, looked at the bright smile on his face and was also very emotional. Since he was summoned to this world by the other party, he had rarely seen him so happy. That's right. As a void familiar like Hiraga Saito, he was actually from another world—not the modern world, but another magical realm. So when he heard that the world gate could connect to another world, he worried that it might lead to his own.
"I see, as expected of Lord Amatori, you have a long-term vision!" King Joseph suddenly realized.
"Heh." Biba just smiled and didn't explain, then changed the subject and said, "What about the second question? The world is so big, where can we find such a person with no information?"
"This..." Pope Vittorio was speechless for a moment, and the others looked at each other. In the end, no one could say anything, so they could only go to the rooms arranged for them to rest, planning to discuss more specific details tomorrow.
But shortly after, Tucker summoned Biba to the magic airship.
"Wait a minute." The latter waved his hand to stop the other from speaking, then used his Observation Haki to scan the area of 200 to 300 meters. After detecting no suspicious aura, he motioned for the other to sit down and talk.
"Captain, I will report the results of the conversation with Bidashal."
Over the next ten minutes, Tucker recounted what Bidashal had said and the intelligence on the elves he had gathered.
"Gathering all the void will cause the destruction of the elves' land?" Biba frowned and immediately began processing the information.
"Wouldn’t gathering the void open the world gate? How could that possibly destroy their land? Or was the cause of destruction the opening of the world gate?"
He then relayed Pope Vittorio’s words to Tucker, who nodded in agreement. "The captain's guess is highly probable."
"If we want to secure land for survival in another world, we will inevitably clash with the national forces of that world, and war is absolutely inevitable."
"Then the war between the two sides must be centered around that holy land, and the holy land is in the country of the elves."
Biba said, "Correct, that's why I think maybe it will be two wars that destroy their land. Though it sounds exaggerated, after all, it's a prophecy."
Tucker asked, "What about us?"
"Of course, we support Pope Vittorio and his team to defeat the elves and open the world gate!"
Biba said coldly, "And the elves have a large number of wind stone veins. Compared with cooperation and trade, it is definitely more convenient to take them directly!"
"Although Pope Vittorio mentioned that the entire land beneath the continent has windstone, who knows how many meters underground?"
"But the mines are different, they will clearly be much easier to develop."
"Also, I've heard that the technology and magic of the elves are above those of the human kingdoms. We could use a 'holy land war' to see how advanced they are."
"Yes." Tucker had no objections to this. After all, the life and death of the elves had nothing to do with him.
"But I think the 'Great Will' believed in by the elves, as mentioned by Bidashal, also needs attention. This is an existence that opposes 'Brimir' in the legend."
"Now that it has been confirmed that Brimir once existed, then this 'Great Will' probably exists too, and it may be in that holy land!"
Biba nodded thoughtfully. More and more mysteries were emerging in this world.
[Polu-porupuru, Polu-porupuru]
At that moment, the Den-Den Mushi in his chest rang. He took it out, answered it, and found it was an official from the Other Worlds Strategic Committee.
Then he learned that the World Government had sent an entire air brigade led by General Borsalino to the Valais Mountains in the Kingdom of Albion. There were also personnel from various relevant departments, with the Other Worlds Strategic Committee at the forefront.
This made Biba very happy. He immediately reported the information about the ‘Wind Stone Disaster,’ ‘World Gate,’ ‘Holy Land Battle,’ and more.
“So please do not leave the Kingdom of Albion for the time being and wait until we open the World Gate before taking over the overall situation!”
Den-Den Mushi gave a confirming nod after listening.
“I see. Every world is indeed not simple. You have done a good job. We don’t need to worry about this matter. We will cooperate with your plan.”
“Thank you!” Biba thanked them sincerely.
Although the current World Government was not entirely clean, the conquest of the other world had brought huge benefits to everyone, and few dared to cause trouble in such matters.
“By the way, a list was sent down from above, and they specifically asked us to give it to you, saying that it is a prophetic message.”
Soon, content appeared on the virtual screen in front of Biba.
But when he saw it, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because this was a detailed report on the void, listing not only the names, functions, and owners of all the void rings and treasures.
There were also the nicknames and abilities of all the void familiars, as well as the names, identities, magic, and locations of all the void messengers.
Biba was horrified. Could the prophecy of the World Government actually reach this level?
But he immediately felt proud.
Because he was now a member of the World Government, this only strengthened his resolve to climb higher. Only an organization like this was worth dedicating his life to!
...
Holy Land. Mary Geoise.
At the highest level of Pangaea Castle, Imu was reading a report about the Zero Magic World in his study.
"The Great Wind Stone Disaster, the Gate of the World, the Magic of Nothingness, and another technological world."
These were naturally very familiar to him. After all, Zero no Tsukaima was a big hit back then. After watching all four seasons of the anime, he had also read the original novel.
But at that time, he hadn't thought too much about it—after all, he was just a spectator.
Now, standing in the position of the World Government BOSS, he suddenly realized the great value of this Zero Magic World.
The role of wind stone, of course, needed no further explanation. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see that it was a new energy source capable of bringing revolutionary progress to the world.
At first glance, it seemed to only make objects float.
But in essence, wind stone was the crystallization of wind-attribute magic. In other words, it was condensed energy with extremely vast reserves and was even a sustainable and renewable resource.
At the same time, Imu also knew the true origin of wind stones—something no one in the current Zero Magic World was aware of.
The fundamental reason why wind stones existed and continued to increase over time was the presence of a massive elf stone, as large as a mountain, located in the Holy Land.
It was the continuous radiation of wind energy from this stone that gradually transformed certain minerals in the continental strata into wind stones.
Additionally, this elf stone was the Great Will worshipped by elves, dragons, and the feathered people, and was the true source of the Wind Stone Disaster.
However, these races didn't concern themselves too much.
First, as believers, they considered this the will of the Great Will. Even if destruction came, everyone would be affected equally, and resistance would be futile.
Second, if the land merely rose and floated into the sky, it wouldn't affect them much—they could fly, after all. Only creatures incapable of flight would suffer.
The elves, however, were more concerned with the prophecy stating that when all demon power/nothingness was gathered, the land they lived on would be destroyed.
"If I remember correctly, Brimir wasn't completely dead."
Imu was deeply in thought.
In the original novel, Hiraga Saito and Louise traveled back six thousand years in their dreams, returning to the Halkeginia continent.
There, the two met Brimir and Sasha, the first Gandalfr—a stunning blonde elf.
Notably, they didn’t just watch Brimir’s experiences as mere bystanders; they actively participated and could communicate with the people of that era.
So it wasn’t just 'viewing memories'—it was truly sending consciousness back six thousand years.
If no one was manipulating this behind the scenes, Imu wouldn't believe it.
And if this relates to the King of Death and the Yomi-Yomi Fruit users, and the reincarnations of Indra, and Asura by Hagoromo...
Then it’s easy to deduce that Brimir was using Void power as a medium to influence generations of Void users and their familiars.
The strongest evidence was how, whenever Louise used a Void spell for the first time, her eyes would glaze over and the spell would activate automatically, without her awareness.
That’s why Imu believed this needed to be closely watched.
And also...
Six thousand years ago, during Brimir’s time, a 'World Gate' had also opened, unleashing an invasion by otherworldly forces.
According to the novel, they were an ancient human army, well-trained and fully equipped—even their horses wore heavy armor.
The Zero Magic World was like a hornet’s nest, interconnected with many worlds.
"Right—Brimir also mentioned in the novel that his Void power was granted by a god!" Imu recalled, frowning.
A god?
The God of the Void, perhaps?
This might be the deepest mystery in the Zero Magic World.
Of course, on the surface, the strongest figure remained the Founder Brimir—an existence capable of obliterating an entire mountain range with a single spell!
