The leaders waited patiently for Jason to say something in response to Agnes’ words. They knew that it would be impossible to unify Earth. Many people had tried before, after all. But none of those people had the power that Jason had, so there was a chance that Jason’s method would be different from what all those other people had tried in the past. Jason leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees to make sure everyone could see just how serious he was at that moment, and then Jason said the most dangerous thing anyone had ever heard.

"I don’t think you understood what I was saying just now, Agnes. I wasn’t asking you to let go of your differences and work together. I was commanding you to listen to my order or face the consequences."

"What!?"

"You think this will become a dictatorship!"

"We will not agree to this! We are a democracy!"

"If you want us to work with these pigs, then it’s better to just kill us!"

"I’ll never stand beside a dirty American!"

"You Russian pigs can die!"

"Shut up, you fool! You’re from South Africa! You have no power in this room!"

"Come and say that to my face! I’ll show you what South Africans are capable of!"

DOON!

Stella’s power suddenly washed over the entire room, and the leaders who were already starting to get to their feet were immediately forced to sit back down obediently! The leaders looked towards Jason, and they saw that he hadn’t even flinched from their screams and shouts, and Jason simply continued from where he had stopped.

"I am not giving you the option of refusing. I understand that there are differences among you that cannot be forgotten immediately. I am not a fool. But I will not allow your pathetic desire to wage pointless wars to stop this world from reaching the heights it is capable of. Keep your countries, and keep your borders. I don’t need you to get rid of them. But understand that this world is under new management, and as far as I am concerned, I will do what is necessary to drag the people of Earth into a new future. If I have to do it while you kick and scream like fucking children, then so be it."

"You speak like a visionary, but the truth is that you are nothing but a tyrant."

Jason turned as he heard someone speak, and he saw that it was Yulev Stragga, the current strongest superhuman in the world. Stragga was an SSS Rank, and on any other day, Stragga would be the one up here dictating his terms to the leaders of the world, but as of right now, Stragga was nothing more than just another person that Jason had kidnapped! Stragga stood up and spoke with a stern face!

"You are a murderer, Jason Marc! You sit there in your high chair and act like a good man, but you are not! You killed my brother, simply because his ideals were different from yours! You have no right to dictate anything to us!"

Jason’s brow furrowed, and for a moment, Jason wondered how the hell he had killed this dude’s brother. Jason had killed far too many people for him to remember all of them. But one of Jason’s subordinates suddenly spoke up from within Jason’s alternate dimension, and Jason hummed as he called out the man known as Yuslev, the former leader of the New Order.

"B-Brother...!"

Stragga took a step back in shock as he saw his brother appear beside Jason! Stragga had seen his brother’s dead body, so he knew that his brother was dead, so seeing this man now was just too shocking! Stragga turned to Jason in anger and shouted!

"What did you do to my brother!? Did you make him into one of your slaves!"

Jason hummed.

"Yes, I did."

Stragga’s blood boiled with anger!

"How dare you-!?"

Stragga took a step towards Jason, but he stopped dead in his tracks as he felt a sword against his throat. Stragga turned to the side, and he saw that it was the Soverign holding him back! Stragga gulped as blood began to leak from where the sword had touched him. Jason’s eyes narrowed.

"Step back, Stragga."

Stragga took in a tense breath to try to control himself before he finally stepped back. Jason then spoke.

"I think I already explained this once before, but for the sake of clarity, I’ll say it one more time. The only people I kill and take under my command are those who threatened to take my life or the lives of those I loved. I don’t kill people for no reason. Your brother over here was not a good man, Stragga, so I don’t understand why you are acting like he was a saint. Yuslev killed more than five hundred thousand people in only a few months, and he would’ve killed many more if I hadn’t stopped him when I did. Don’t stand there and try to paint me as some sort of tyrant. Yes, I am not a good man. I never claimed to be. But I will not hear such foolishness from someone like you."

"!"

Stragga felt the anger inside him rising once again, but he bit his inner cheek hard since the Sovereign was still standing right beside him. Jason looked around the gathered leaders.

"I’m not a fan of taking people’s lives. But I can assure you that I will not lose any sleep over the lives I’ve taken. I extend the same warning to each and every one of you. Should there ever come a time when I realise that you are inhibiting the growth of this world, or you are actively working against those who are trying to make us stronger, I will kill you and every single person involved without a second thought. I do not care if you think I am a good man or a tyrant, but you should know that I am the executioner’s blade looming over your necks, and the second I find out that you are a hindrance, you will lose your heads."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The people in the room turned to the front row as they heard someone clapping, and some of the leaders frowned when they saw that it was the president of America, Ronald Strauss! Ronald got to his feet and spread his arms wide with a large smile on his face!

"That was brilliantly said, Jason Marc! I couldn’t have said it better myself! Yes, you are definitely more than fit to stand as the overseer of this new age that the world is about to enter! We are truly glad that someone like you will lead us into the future, and as you already know, you have my full support!"

The president spoke in a boisterous and excited tone, and most of the leaders in the room couldn’t help but scoff in anger when they heard his speech! They all knew what this was! The only reason Ronald could accept this so easily was because of who Jason was! Jason was first and foremost an American citizen, so it was obvious that America was going to become the epicenter of the new world simply because of that! Ronald was just trying to tell the other leaders in the room that he was better than them!

Jason looked the president over like he was studying a specimen, and Jason scowled. Jason knew exactly what Ronald was doing right now, and even though Jason didn’t like it, Jason wasn’t interested enough to do anything about it.
