Ranking System

[System Announcement]

[World: Earth has reached the requirement to become a second-rank world]

[Merging with two other worlds will begin in twenty-four hours]

The system's announcement shocked the world. The next day after the press conference, another big wave of news came in.

Some people were excited by the prospect of having their world rank up. Ranking up meant that the rewards that they received monthly would improve.

And for the people that had read carefully, seeing that two other worlds would merge with Earth could be concerning.

This fact wasn't known to almost everyone, but once a world's rank went up, it would be fused with two other worlds in the same condition.

As for why worlds of a different tier were so much stronger than the last, it was the combination of manpower the three worlds combined.

It would be impossible for a lower rank world to invade someone from a higher rank world. That's why the system made it impossible for high-ranking worlds to disrupt those at the bottom.

Once the announcement had been made, every country's world leader came together to discuss the current predicament.

"Let's proceed with the meeting."

Two hours after the announcement, every leader sat down at the table. In this meeting, they were going to talk about how they would deal with the merging of this world.

"We all know what is going to happen in twenty-two hours. How should we deal with this predicament?"

"We could send our strongest to one world and take it over. Our firepower shouldn't be any less than a second-rank world."

"Let's send in a diplomat for each world. Engaging in combat with two worlds is suicidal."

Many opinions were formed during this meeting. In the end, only two options mattered. The first would be to suppress the other two worlds. Confident with their manpower, the Earth pro wanted this.

The second option was to make a peaceful maneuver. This option was the most favorable. Even if their position was at stake, it was better to have some cooperation from the other two worlds than to start a war.

"Why should we make peace if we could fully control them?"

One of the major powers within the world was an Earth pro. He believed in the supremacy of his people. Confident he wanted more power once he had taken a part of another world.

"Calm down, old man. What's so fun about controlling the world?"

Charles walked in with his cat maid Nene. Earlier, he got a call from the leaders of the world. He was asked to attend the meeting. With his power and influence, his opinion on this mattered a lot.

"Old man..."

"As for the plan, I could easily take control. But that ain't interesting."

"..."

The pro-Earthers couldn't help but have their head hurt at the words of Charles. Charles and his whims annoyed people once again.

For the people annoyed with him, they could now see the reason why Felicia quickly gets frustrated because of him. Who knows when they will snap if they hear any bullshit from him.

[Charles POV]

After invading Gaia, I found it boring to do anything else. Everyone in Gaia feared me, and I didn't like stepping on a dead man.

"I don't mind being the person to negotiate a peace treaty. I'll tell you what. If they start the attack, I will be the person to subjugate them."

Looking at the people that supported an attack, they couldn't help but frown. With my proposal, they couldn't reject my offer. All they could do was hope that the other worlders would attack first.

Most people were happy with what I decided. Even if the meeting was short, the worries on everyone's faces disappeared.

They have heard of what I have done in the world of Gaia. I had single-handedly destroyed all their top rankers in an instant. Even the world leaders were afraid of me to some extent.

With the news of two other worlds fusing with ours, Gaia being under control would lose its hype pretty fast.

"If that's all I'm leaving. Give me a call to which world you want to go first."

There was no point in staying anymore after I said my thoughts. Leaving the private meeting room, I teleported back to my house. I had only been in the meeting for about fifteen minutes.

"Master~! Can I follow you for the negotiation~!"

Nene was set on following me. She had her chest leaned against me and had given me her puppy eyes, or should I say kitty eyes? Anyways they were staring at me, hoping that she could join.

"You're always welcome to follow me."

"Nyah~!"

Her eyes shone as her ears twitched. She made a cat noise hugging me tightly. I grabbed her ass and took her to bed for a few hours of fun.

[System Announcement]

[World: Earth has reached the requirement to become a second-ranked world]

[Merging preparations will now begin. One hour before the process finishes]

With one minute left in the mark, the message within the system changed. The two other worlds that are supposed to merge have begun.

The planet was fusing. The two other worlds began to collide using Earth as the main base. With Earth absorbing the two other worlds, the world began to shift.

Earth's size was increasing by the minute, and the land from the other two worlds was placed according to how their world was respectively placed.

It was a wonder how these three worlds fit nicely into one. It wouldn't be surprising if the system planned this from the start.

For the people of Earth, the power of technology, such as the satellite, has caught the process of the world's fusion nicely.

With the emergence of the other two worlds, the inhabitants of those worlds naturally appeared. Many reactions could be seen worldwide, but the feeling of nervousness dominated them.
