The right to negotiate on an equal footing would forever only exist between two individuals of equal strength.
Both parties would sit in front of a table, talk face to face, exchange benefits, and haggle over various things until both parties were satisfied with the result.
But actually, more than 90% of all negotiations weren't like this.
The stronger party would only use the negotiation table to blackmail and threaten, while the weaker party wouldn't even have the confidence to raise any conditions. This was just how cruel the world of power was.
Even if both parties agreed on terms that satisfied both the strong and the weak, the stronger party would only be a piece of scrap paper that could be torn apart at any time. As long as they wanted …
"Back then, there was fraud when the contract was signed. Our citizens didn't approve of it from the very start. Yep, didn't you hear what they were shouting? It's invalid! "
"That contract? Wasn't that a contract signed by my predecessor? I won't recognize it. Why should I recognize a trash contract signed by an idiot like him? International reputation and credibility? Isn't that supposed to be used to restrict weak countries? I'm the strongest country in the world. So what if I don't abide by the contract? "
"International peace? What does that have to do with me? Is someone going to beat me up? "
Cough, cough, I definitely wasn't implying that some important contract had just been torn apart, or that a certain country would tear apart contracts as if they were nothing more than scrap paper.
Such things had happened countless times since ancient times. Those who believed that contracts and concessions would be able to protect themselves would all be slowly nibbled away by the strong. After all, intelligent lifeforms would never be satisfied.
This was especially true for a certain individual who had been at the top of the food chain for a long time and had never been threatened by other lifeforms. They were used to doing whatever they wanted, and had even forgotten how to communicate on an equal footing with other lifeforms …
* Boom! *
There was a thunderous explosion that shook the entire earth.
At the same time, this also signaled the beginning of a new battle.
"How vicious. Luckily, I didn't insist …"
Rorschach was currently on the bridge of the airship, feeling a lingering fear.
Originally, Rorschach had insisted on personally meeting with Titan. But after much persuasion, Rorschach decided to use a magic armor as a messenger … And then, the moment this magic armor appeared in front of Titan, Rorschach had only been able to say a single word before Titan exploded with a single glare.
"This guy doesn't intend to negotiate at all."
The gigantic giant before him was as large as a moving mountain range. His naked upper body flashed with blue thunder patterns, and the thunder in his eyes had just easily destroyed a fifth-generation heavy magic armor.
After doing all this, he was like a pedestrian that had casually swatted a mosquito to death, and he continued on his journey.
"… Rorschach, the commander wants me to ask you if you've completed the communication just now."
"It was completed, but it was also ignored. The other party didn't even open the mental package."
According to the plan, the moment Rorschach met with the volcano Titan, he transmitted his request to the Titan Wood in front of him via telepathy, as instructed by Professor Titan Wood. But this mosquito swatting glance was the other party's reply.
Perhaps it was because the magical armor that had transmitted the message had exploded so quickly that the commander was worried that Rorschach hadn't completed his mission.
The process of finding the Titan Wood was much simpler than expected. According to the volcano Titan's guidance, all they needed to do was search in the area with the densest thunder element. That area was a forbidden zone for all life, and was also a blind spot.
That area was a mountain range covered in thunderclouds. Although other areas in the uninhabited area were also covered in thunderclouds, the thunderclouds were so dense that not even a single ray of sunlight could be seen. Only endless thunder could be seen constantly whipping the earth.
Now that all the Eich citizens in this wasteland were mobilized, it wasn't too difficult to find a single giant that was still on the move within a limited area … Especially when this giant was as tall as a mountain and left behind huge footprints filled with lightning elemental energy wherever it went. Wherever it went, it would leave behind huge footprints filled with lightning elemental energy. Wherever it went, it would be accompanied by violent lightning.
Currently, this area was filled with traces of thunder and lightning.
The shields of the Aishi People's ships were constantly being struck, and the sirens of overloaded ships sounded one after another. All the ships were overloaded, and this place had far exceeded the elemental density of the thunder element.
However, many of the companions didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
That was because behind the giant, there was a huge stone door on the side of a mountain. All the energy indicators were pointing in that direction of danger.
[The Radiance Scroll's radar has reacted. There are individuals in that room, and they contain at least ten times more energy than the Titan Wood in front of us. If they aren't the God Equipment we're looking for, then perhaps … ten Titans tied together?]
Lori's cold joke made the situation quite awkward.
But now, Rorschach didn't need to react. He had already completed his super simple mission. The rest was up to the other churches.
Rorschach could see that the battleships hidden in the dark clouds were slowly descending.
Since they couldn't come to an agreement, they could only fight.
Volcano Country. This was the new name that the Aishi People gave to the volcano Titan Wood.
Considering the natural environment around it, as well as the high temperature all year round, this was indeed a very suitable name.
In the past, only volcano creatures, fire elemental creatures, thunder elemental creatures, and giant creatures lived here. But since a week ago, there were always more than ten battleships patrolling in the sky.
Even though Rorschach had confirmed that the volcano Titan Wood wasn't lying, even he himself didn't believe in the powerful existence under the seal.
Eich's mages and high-level technology were constantly communicating with the sealed Titan Giants. Of course, they were saying that they were helping the Titan Giants remove their seals and provide assistance to their descendants … Even the stupidest cyclops wouldn't believe such a thing. But at the very least, everyone seemed to believe it on the surface, and they even got along well with each other.
But even if they didn't monitor him, these researchers and spellcasters were still very willing to stay here. Titan Wood's ancient knowledge and wisdom were the living fossils and living treasures of the magical world. Many problems that troubled the world for a long time were common sense and phenomena in the eyes of the Titan Wood.
Sometimes, looking at things from a different perspective would give a completely different experience. The information and knowledge gathered in just a few days was enough to shock the world.
But on one of the battleships, there was a room that was constantly communicating with the frontline and exchanging information. In particular, the person who was communicating with the Titan Wood had deliberately changed the topic in the past few days. He even wanted to pass on the information and weaknesses of the Titan Wood that the volcano Titan Wood had "unintentionally" revealed.
In a sense, in this area without magic fog and lightning, the Aishi People could truly display their art of war.
Suddenly, a piece of information was obtained that made the entire situation reconsider.
