Chereads / The Guardian: Transported in the World of Azur Lane (Rework Version) / Chapter 24 - Season 1 Chapter 20: "Balance and Order"

Chapter 24 - Season 1 Chapter 20: "Balance and Order"

In the first week of March 1930, on Friday Late Evening, the conference online meeting continued. Unknowingly, the Azur Lane Alliance, the META Nation, the Void Dominion, and the Siren Nation didn't know what was happening with the new update and the balance that would occur after several hours because when Accel Winchester created a new duplicated wisdom cube, the universal law interfered again, and a new balance would be made.

The reaction from the META Shipgirls was far more pronounced. Queen Elizabeth META stepped closer to her screen, her eyes narrowing at the holographic projections radiating from the cube. "Fascinating. This isn't just a normal Wisdom Cube—it's something far more advanced. The data imprinted within it… it's unlike anything we've seen, even in the distorted realities we've traversed."

Helena META added, her voice tinged with curiosity and concern, "This cube contains designs for warships that don't exist in our world. They seem to be more technologically advanced than ours, maybe it has to do with the troublemaker you spoke of."

Hiryuu META, usually nonchalant, actually seemed intrigued. "Accel Winchester an otherworlder who comes from a technological and magical world, created a dangerous and does not belong to this world, a white crystalline wisdom cube. Won't the universal law interfere? Oh, right it did interfere, with the law and punishment."

As the discussion grew more heated, Nagato raised a hand, signaling for silence. "If you want to know more about Accel Winchester, you could ask his companion, or his wife, Lizzy Winchester who is one of the members of the Sakura Empire." Nagato gestured off-screen, and moments later, a confident, vibrant figure appeared on the hologram. It was Petty Officer First Class Lizzy Winchester, Accel's wife. Her playful grin and confident posture immediately caught everyone's attention.

"Greetings, everyone," Lizzy began, her voice light and cheerful. "I hear my husband's been causing trouble again. Honestly, this is very normal already when comes to this type of event like making something very strange either helpful or catastrophic." Queen Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, her tone skeptical. "Meaning, your husband do this kind of thing back in your world, Lizzy?"

Lizzy replied happily, "Yes, but it's not only my husband but his friends who like to create something crazy for their so-called fun experiments, though almost 35% of the experiments went wrong causing disturbance from our world or risking their lives, so I and their wives got used to it."

Bismarck Zwei interjected, her tone sharp. "And you find this amusing? Do you realize what kind of chaos a cube like this could unleash?" Lizzy's smile didn't waver, "Bismarck Zwei, I trust my husband's decision and why did he that, so you don't have to worry about anything, despite not knowing your so-called universal law of this world."

Bismarck Zwei smiled and laughed hard, "Are you warning me, Lizzy? Everything was very fine and now look at this new cube he created. Are you telling us to not worry about what catastrophic will happen???" Lizzy breathes out heavily and her atmosphere changes very dark, "You know what, I find you very annoying. I already said to not worry and you keep complaining. I think I will punish you, Bismarck Zwei." Bismarck Zwei made an angry face towards this human, "You—!".

Lizzy raises her hands and uses magic to restrain her body as if she was like crushing an apple. Bismarck Zwei started coughing blood and was screaming in pain from her body, "Bismarck Zwei, how should I slowly kill you". Nagato immediately told Lizzy to stop her action as she started to release a killing aura at the Sakura Empire Conference Room making everyone present kneel due to the heavy pressure pulling them down.

"You know what, I am done playing nice. Though it was just three months being with you all, made me at least happy, but there is always some exception. Don't worry, I will just alter your memories a bit—!" Lizzy's magic was not activated and for some reason, her body temporarily got paralyzed. Lizzy felt the pain of being paralyzed and unable to move, "How is this possible, it can't be. Did the universal law make the restriction and impose limitations already???" Lizzy was stunned by how fast the universal law calculated, updated, and created new laws to prevent Memory Manipulation.

The Universal Law created a new balanced update that focuses on certain people, Accel Winchester and Lizzy Winchester. The new balanced update is, to impose magical skill uses with these two, decreasing their stat abilities from 100% -> 25%, and restricting abilities that can defy the laws of this world, like Duplication, Memory Manipulation, and other skills that might break the balance of the world.

Lizzy Winchester's actions made the Sakura Empire distrust her actions and immediately arrested and locked her up in the Sakura Empire Underground Prison and also decreased her naval position due to injuring one of the Leaders and Ruler of the Iron Blood Nation and putting heavy pressure on her comrades and the Leader and Ruler of the Sakura Empire, not only that Accel Winchester who is currently on the medical ward will be strictly watched and monitor impose him as a threat.

For some reason, due to Belfast pled for mercy for Accel, his punishment decreased. Belfast will be still assigned to keep a close eye on him and at the same time become a closer ally. As for the crystalline white wisdom cube, all the nations will keep it in the Main Headquarters of the Azur Lane Alliance, where the security is much tight and safe from any dangers like the Siren Nation and the Void Dominion knowing this new type of wisdom cube that is much more devastating and might able to push back the Siren further with this new technological and magical advancement.

On Saturday Midnight, at the Medical Ward, Accel uses telepathy communication to send a direct message to Lizzy at the Sakura Empire Underground Prison, the Universal Law didn't count this skill as a threat level and allowed them to use and communicate with each other, "Lizzy, just as expected your plan?" Lizzy smiled, "Yes, my dear, do we need to proceed with the second plan?" Accel started thinking, "Yes, but let's take it slow after all the Universal Law is now watching us, using Time Manipulation Magic might be a bit difficult since we are constantly watched and monitored for both all the nations and the Universal Law."

"I agree, what future did you see after this, my dear husband?" Accel begins explaining, "After this conference meeting and the new balance that was imposed by the Universal Law, the Siren Nation will now make a move, but not on the Azur Lane Alliance, but towards the Void Dominion, because they finally made contact from where they truly belong."

"I see... A huge storm will come. And the Azur Lane Alliance, Siren Nation, and the Void Dominion will start another war, who do you think will win?" Accel replied by saying, "All I can say is that, Azur Lane Alliance will lose much that includes the Void Dominion, while the Siren Nation will only lose half of it, and then you know what next move they will start?" Lizzy understood and the telepathy communication was cut off due to Accel's exhaustion and fell asleep, while Lizzy went to sleep in the bed at the underground prison of Sakura Empire.
