[The Chinese government has stopped all sales of gold within the country, and the government is now pushing to purchase all gold held by citizens at prices higher than the market value! This tactic matches similar trends being seen all across the world, and it has left citizens and superhumans alike baffled by what could potentially be the cause of the sudden gold rush! Also, the government has submitted a proposal for the creation of what is now being called the Chinese Guild, which will consist of one hundred of the strongest superhumans in China, as well as the opening of a new Monarch Guild branch in Beijing. The Monarch guild is an American-based guild currently, but according to reports, they have deregistered from the American database, and Monarch guild branches are now being opened all across the world. A phenomenon that has led people to start calling them the first international guild in existence. Could this be the sign of great changes coming to the world, or are we seeing a desperate gamble by the world leaders to prevent a great disaster that is only drawing closer? We’ll keep you informed as the news reaches us. From Beijing National TV, this has been Xi Jing.]

[The World of Bengari]

[One Hundred and Two Dimensional Leaps Away From Earth]

The world of Bengari was a vast world filled with many thriving cities that were separated by large oceans and deserts. But the largest and most important city within this world was known as the Central city of Aliyah, and it served as the main capital of the world where the strongest Bengari warrior ruled from. Aliyah was an island city surrounded on all sides by vast oceans! It had a massive forest that was spread out all across the island, and the Bengari had cleared out portions of the forest in order to build their settlements! In the center of the large island was the largest portion that had been cleared out, and in there stood a massive stone castle where the ruler of Bengari lived. Around the castle was a large town that consisted of multiple small buildings and a large area that served as a market!

People could be seen selling various magical artefacts, jewelry, and food at various stalls within the market! There were multiple women dressed like soldiers carrying large spears or swords and walking around, along with those who were dressed more simply! Bengari was a warrior world which saw strength as the ultimate measure of power, and since in this world the women had evolved to be more physically and magically gifted than the men, there were far more female soldiers than males! The female soldiers viewed the men around them as nuisances that had to be kept in check at all times, and even the few men who managed to become soldiers or gladiators were treated as second-rate since they were weaker than the stronger females!

It was an unfair world that had many divisions between the males and females, but regardless of these differences, Bengari was a world that thrived! Bengari was extremely wealthy from all the gold that they had obtained by conquering worlds during the Period of Lawlessness, and as a result of that, there was more than enough money for them to trade with the worlds around them and obtain whatever it was they needed! But even though the Primordial Expanse was peaceful now, the Bengari could not let go of their warrior nature, and that is why the Bengari had created many colosseums where they could fight against each other as well as warriors from other worlds. These colosseums were known as the Blood Arenas! The Bengari Blood Arenas were so popular that they became one of the most profitable businesses in the world, and there was never a lack of opponents for the warriors since many other warriors around the Primordial Expanse loved the idea of testing their strength against the Bengari!

But right now, there wasn’t a shred of happiness or excitement to be felt from the people moving around the towns and markets in Bengari. Instead, there was a deep, resentful storm of anger that filled the world of Bengari and all its people. Even though life was continuing on as usual for the people within the city, everyone knew that something major had changed very recently, and they could all feel the intense mana that had spread across the air from the large stone castle in the center of the city! There was only one woman who could be releasing such intense pressure, and no one would say they didn’t understand exactly how their Queen felt! This was not the first time that Queen Diane would be overlooked by the Council of Nine and One for the position of Overlord! The first time it had happened, the Bengari managed to accept it since the Machina were a very formidable world, but this time, there wasn’t a single Bengari who could accept the fact that they had lost to a fucking Rank II world! None of the Bengari had even heard of this ’Earth’ before today! Earth hadn’t even been present during the Period of Lawlessness, and they weren’t part of the peace pact that formed the Primordial Treaty! But for some reason, the Council of Nine and One decided that Earth deserved to rule over them!?

This was not only an insult to all the Bengari people, but it was also a spit in the face to their powerful Queen, who had been overlooked once before, and every single Bengari had already begun to prepare themselves to go to battle the moment their Queen gave them the order!

Within the large royal castle, the atmosphere was even worse than what the people outside were feeling! An air of anger and irritation seemed to surround everyone within the castle – from the palace guards to the servants, and even the members of the royal family! Everyone felt an extreme rage in their hearts after they heard how the recent Council meeting had gone!

A man walked down the hallway of the royal castle with a frown on his face. The man was well built with a handsome face and short red hair. His green eyes were piercing and sharp, and he was wearing the royal attire reserved for the King Consort of the Bengari. This man was named Jamat, and he was the husband of Queen Diane. As Jamat walked through the hall, multiple servants and guards bowed respectfully to him, and Jamat ignored them all as he approached the inner chamber of the Queen.

"You fool! Get out! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Slam!

The sound of something slamming against the wall inside the inner chamber echoed through the door, and Jamat’s eyes narrowed even more as he pushed the large door open and began to enter the room. A male servant quickly ran through the doors with his head bowed, and Jamat noticed the bruise on the man’s face, and he frowned! Well, at least the man wasn’t dead this time! But this couldn’t go on! Jamat entered the room and looked around to see just how messed up the entire interior was. The inner chambers of the Queen were one of the most lavishly decorated places in the kingdom. There were multiple precious artefacts, paintings, and fabrics all around the room. The floor was made from a beautiful black stone, and the ceiling had a large golden statue of a dragon carved into it. There was enough space in the inner chamber to hold more than two hundred people, and there was a large bed on one side of the room where the Queen slept.
