"In the vision of the Goddess and my son, my son will eventually enter the underworld alone and cooperate with the Goddess to fight against the Grim Reaper and get rid of this evil god that brings harm to the world."
Owen's declaration seemed to have eased the tense atmosphere in the hall.
Russian Senator Bokov took a big gulp of his Volga. The Japanese female representative closed her folding fan and smiled. Mrs. Maxim, who already knew about the situation, also leaned back in her chair after hearing Owen say it out loud … They had no idea what to do about the coming of the end of the world, but now that there was a possibility of solving it, they felt relieved, as if a huge stone had been removed from their hearts.
"But we have to realize one thing first. A disaster like the Grim Reaper's destruction should be a problem that all creatures should face together." Owen narrowed his eyes as if he had seen through the thoughts of the wizards. He changed the topic and continued, "So, this matter is not only... nor should it be the responsibility of the Ravenclaw Goddess and Alan. In order to successfully resist the Grim Reaper, we need the cooperation of all countries. This is because all of us in the magical world have to fight for our own destiny. All of this is for the sake of continuing to live..."
"Minister Harris, thank you for stepping forward when almost all countries were helpless. Thank you for taking the initiative to fulfill the responsibility of a major country." Madam Maxim stood up gracefully and bowed slightly to show her respect. Then she asked solemnly, "The French Ministry of Magic will do its best to cooperate. What do you need us to do?"
After a brief commotion, the hall became even quieter so that they could better hear Owen's conditions. For these wizards, they were not afraid of difficult things or conditions, but they were afraid that there was no solution at all. Therefore, various voices of agreement with different accents rang out in the hall. The representatives of these countries knew that this was Owen's condition, but the situation was there, and this was the only way to survive.
"I'm glad that everyone can express their opinions like this. Unity will increase our chances of success." Owen's voice was timely with some relief. "Although the specific details haven't been decided yet, my son Allen has entered the underworld, it doesn't mean that the rest of us can relax. In order to prevent the battlefield of the underworld from affecting the mortal world, we need to call on the entire magic world to act immediately." He scanned the hall. "In addition to investigating whether the Grim Reaper has increased the appearance of the underworld like the one in the United States, we also need to work together to establish a defense zone around the Rocky Mountains that has become the underworld. We need to be on high alert to prevent the undead creatures inside from escaping outside."
"This indeed requires the joint efforts of all our countries. The Rocky Mountains are so vast. Once the undead creatures of the underworld surge out like a black tide, it will definitely be a disaster." Russia's Senator Bokov felt that it was advantageous to hear this. The Russian magic world behind her that was not afraid of fighting gave her the confidence to speak in a rough voice. "And time is of the essence. This requires the participation of all the wizards in the world to be able to establish and operate such a large defense line in a short time …" The female senator who was more like a fighter than a representative suddenly thought of something and asked, "But Minister Harris, if the Grim Reaper expands the area … won't the defense line we have established be defenseless?"
"Thank you for your understanding, Senator Bokov … But don't worry, as long as the defense line cooperates with the statue of the goddess set up by the priests of the Ravenclaw Temple on the floating city, it can temporarily suppress the corruption of the land of the dead on our living world … But unfortunately, this enchantment consumes a lot of the goddess's power, so it can't be our final solution to the problem." Owen said regretfully and nodded slightly at the Russian witch. He then looked at the others and added, "Also, because the Grim Reaper has Dementors and other undead creatures that can fly, countries like you and me who have more floating ships should be more responsible. Let us put more energy into sealing off the sky … Also, other countries that have not developed floating ships need only to build a defense on the ground. Our mobility can support the land side at any time and deal with emergencies flexibly …"
The representatives of the various countries did not express any objection to this point. In their opinion, this was the right thing to do. As long as they were not asked to go in and face death, they could still barely establish a defense area outside. And this was obviously something that the population of a single kingdom could not do.
Taking in the expressions of the representatives of the various countries, Owen paused and raised his voice a little. "In addition, as the minister of the Magic Kingdom, I have to point out that the Magic Kingdom has taken on more responsibility this time, which will undoubtedly cost a lot of manpower and material resources. And the Magic Kingdom's King, Allen, will personally enter the underworld, which will undoubtedly be a great risk … So, we need to solve his worries so that he can fight with peace of mind and not be distracted by worrying about the outside world. "
None of the representatives of the various countries made a sound. They knew that Owen was going to put forward some conditions. Obviously, what he was going to say next was something that was beneficial to the Magic Kingdom. Besides, if it was really helpful to Allen's battle, the conditions he put forward were reasonable.
What's more, these representatives, who had just gained hope and felt that they had survived a disaster, were now not afraid of Owen's demands at all. They were even worried that the other party would not ask for anything. After all, the more demands they dared to put forward, the more confident they were in dealing with Death.
"In order to better integrate forces, gather materials from the former United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, reduce the estrangement between each other … and facilitate the mobilization of all forces that are helpful to the fight against Death, the United Magic Kingdom will be restructured. It will use a more efficient system of the ancient magic civilization and a modern government system. The United Magic Kingdom will be changed into the Magic Empire." Owen stated firmly as if he was stating a fact.
"Under the premise that the cabinet of the Ministry of Magic is still in power, Allen Harris will be the supreme ruler of the empire with higher authority."
Although there were some gasps, none of the wizards who participated in the meeting raised any objections after a slight reaction.
After all, whether it was the Magic Kingdom or the Magic Empire, these were the internal affairs of Family Harris, who loved glory and glory. They had nothing to do with these countries. Most importantly, these countries did not need to pay any extra price. If it were in normal times, perhaps some countries might jump out and express a negative attitude. But at this moment, under the desperate conditions of survival, it was just a matter of recognition, which was not even a condition for them.
"Now, all of us in the magic world live and die together. In this critical moment, in the face of this unprecedented disaster, the working style and efficiency of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards is obviously difficult to cope with. In order to better concentrate forces and operate efficiently in a wartime state … I will form a new anti-Death Alliance led by Allen." Owen leaned his hands on the podium, his voice echoing in the hall. "Please rest assured, the establishment of this new alliance is only to better integrate forces to fight against Death. It will not interfere with the internal affairs of other countries, and each country will still maintain its own autonomy." Owen looked at the representatives below the podium who had a slight change of expression. "The main purpose of the new alliance is to more legitimately command the anti-Death affairs to ensure the efficient operation of the alliance …"
