The Villains Need to Save the World The Villains Need to Save the World
At the Alan Island Region over 1,300 years ago, at the island nations under the Bridges Kingdom’s control, the Bridges Kingdom’s capital, Aucklands City. Bella walked hand-in-hand with the God of Creation in the city that had long been forgotten by history.
Bella wasn’t sure if this were considered a date with the God of Creation, but based on her speculations, the original Creator was simply a madman, though it was not wrong to call him a genius either. The God of Creation that he designed actually had power several times of its master. Even though this was the 25th dimension, the God of Creation’s power was almost close to that of the Creators of the first ten dimensions.
This naive God of Creation simply did not know any combat skills, yet her energy reserves were comparable to the ninth dimension’s Creator, Creator of Darkness Mystica. The Creator who made her probably thought of this and weakened her intelligence to a set state without any possibility of growth. Unlike some Creators who gave their Gods of Creation growing intelligence to continue to advance mentally and eventually become the successor to the Creators.
Gods of Creation without combat skills were more useful as energy reserves. When Bella held hands with her, she could sense the energy in her body ready to be transmitted to the Creator for their use. If she were a little smarter, then this God of Creation would be perfect.
However, she really was smart. She had long recognized that Bella had the aura of a World Destructor in her, but it wasn’t to the point where she could know that Bella’s current surrogate, Princess Felia, was no longer the original one. If that were the case, Bella would not be able to trick her. In Bella’s comprehensive view, she did manage to get something out of their encounter. If she were to work up a good relationship with the God of Creation over a thousand years ago, it would be easier to get in contact with her after returning to the original timeline.
The modernity of the Aucklands City’s layout was too obvious. Bella even suspected that the transmigrators existed in the Bridges Kingdom. The modern atmosphere of this place was even worse than that of the Manasvir Empire, which was also secretly controlled by a transmigrator who had been ruling for more than ten thousand years. Empress Manya Felan, who was similarly a transmigrator, still abided by the law of gradual progress when introducing Earth’s culture to this Other World, integrating the two cultures little by little.
But this Bridges Kingdom was different. Their ruler seemed to be somewhat eager for quick success. The buildings here were basically all built in the modern architecture styles. Not even a hint of the medieval architecture found in the west could be seen. Even the royal palace had been transformed into the appearance of a luxury villa.
Bella almost thought that she had returned to modern society. Fortunately, the people walking on the streets were still the people of the Other World. Based on the exclusive information that Bella had obtained from the third Fate, she got to know that this Bridges Kingdom had emerged more than 2,000 years ago.
Originally, Alan Island was just a gathering for some pirates. Two thousand years ago, the pirates submitted to two characters of unknown origin. In just less than a few hundred years, it had developed into a powerful magic kingdom that had enough power to subvert the entire Human Continent and even the entire Dimensional Other World.
Bella was currently holding hands with the God of Creation. Relying on her support, she was able to gain permission to use part of this dimension’s Creator’s power. In general, a Creator enjoyed many privileges in the world that they had created. For example, the “Gate of Creation” could be summoned anywhere in the world. They could scan through any area from an aerial view with the “Eye of Insight.” Then, there was the most commonly used “The Judgement of God,” which was a super forbidden magic that sent down a mixed light and lightning attribute strike on any disobedient creations.
The high-ranking God Race and God Kings could use it as well. Except, they had to gather up some dark clouds before that to frighten the people so they could feel the wrath of God. The Creator was a bit more carefree with it. They could strike down the Judgment of God directly out of thin air without any prior warning whatsoever.
Bella was currently scouting the place with the “Eye of Insight” like a spy satellite, scanning through the entire Bridges Kingdom’s capital city of Aucklands. As she did so, Bella froze. She had discovered many traces of evidence of transmigrator administration in the Bridges Kingdom. The other party wasn’t even trying to cover it up. They had everything out in the open.
Bella scanned multiple military bases near Aucklands City, where she saw a lot of unbelievable things. The equipment almost made her think that Mechanical Creator Andrea had visited here thousands of years ago and intervened in this dimension.
One could find all sorts of magic-guided tanks, artillery, even airplanes and helicopters powered by Demonic Beasts’ cores in the modern military bases. Other than the replacement of the power sources, they were no different from the tanks and aircrafts on Earth. Since the ammo was crafted out of Demonic Cores, the power of its explosion could even exceed that of ordinary missiles.
After the heavy equipment, there was a large number of guns and light artillery to be found all over. Bella’s Sarnia Duchy near the outer region of the Darkness Sacred Region only dared to imitate medieval weapons such as general cannons and flintlock guns, but her “transmigrator peers” on this side were even more insane. What AK-47 and M16s, all the guns appearing in the twenty to the twenty-first century could be found here. There were plenty of things like RPGs and Panzerfausts. Even though they were imitations, they were not much different from the originals.
Bella also scanned the modern naval bases around the vicinity of Alan Island. All kinds of modern battleships, destroyers, submarines, and even aircraft carriers could be found that were also powered by Demonic Cores. Bella was really shaken up when she saw all of this. She only dared to use explosive barrels as bombs, but they were using stuff like modern bombers here.
Other than not finding Gundams and nuclear weapons, the Bridges Kingdom was simply no different from a modern nation as a magic kingdom. If one were to remove the Other Worldly flag and thought of it as an invasion of Earth’s army into the Other World, then there was nothing peaceful about this situation. Seriously, if one were to add Gundams and nuclear weapons, then that would be overkill.
The absence of these two things led Bella to speculate that these were all created by transmigrators and had nothing to do with Mechanical Creator Andrea. The Human Race’s “primitive weapons” were simply beneath Andrea, so even if she were going to sponsor a kingdom, she would sponsor Gundams or something like that. She had already grown sick of the meagreness of the Human Race’s technology many years ago.
The Bridges Kingdom’s title as a Magic Kingdom might imply something else. The magic of this nation was not the same as the other nations. The inhabitants of this Other World had not seen modern weaponry, so the appearance of these metal aircrafts, tanks, and cannons could all have been mistaken as products of alchemy, so it made sense for them to be counted as a magical civilization.
Bella figured that if the Bridges Kingdom did not perish, it would be no problem for them to fight the entire Human Continent. Even if they couldn’t fight all of them, they could still dominate a lot of them. Even if they couldn’t defeat higher-ranking magic civilizations, modern weapons were more than enough to abuse lower-ranking magic civilizations. So, perhaps it was inevitable for the Bridges Kingdom to disappear. This civilization was too far ahead, and it wasn’t even the civilization originally from this Other World.
But what Bella was more curious about is how the Bridges Kingdom ended up dying out if they had such advanced modern weapons so many years ago. Was it really due to the Aldridge Empire sending them that Forbidden Book?
Bella looked at the modern weaponry of this kingdom. There was simply no need for them to study some forbidden magic to increase their own strength. The reason for their demise was just a speculation by the Oceanic Race based on the rumors from the Aldridge Empire, which did not exclude the possibility of propaganda.
But Bella discovered that even though the weaponry was modernized, the system was not up to pace with the times as they were still a slave society. The Human Continent took advantage of the favorable situation they gained when they won the victory over ten thousand years ago during the “Final Holy War” against the Twelve Demon Kings to abolish the slave system that had been popular for several thousands of years. Now at the very least, nobody dared to sell slaves publicly in the Human Continent.
Only the underground organizations like the Horrorshow Group still dare to sell slaves in the “grey” market under the banner of selling foreign slaves. It was noteworthy that when the Imperial Union announced the abolition of slavery, it was limited only to the Human Race. The Imperial Union had deliberately avoided mentioning anything regarding foreign races. Many veteran slave traders and merchants would just put on beast ears on human slaves to be sold as foreign race slaves, exploiting the loopholes of the slave trade till this day.
This Bridges Kingdom, from more than a thousand years ago, was more direct than them. Like those military bases, they had no qualms about displaying their dark slavery system. After all, the original inhabitants of the Bridges Kingdom were pirates anyway, so they weren’t opposed to slavery at all. The pirate bloodline also affected their descendants, thus allowing the slavery system to continue all the while.
Walking through the streets with the God of Creation, Bella could see slaves being used as livestock everywhere. There were all sorts of slaves to be sold here as they even dared to display slaves here. They did not discriminate against male or female slaves, but there were more male than female slaves on the streets. They were used to pull wagons and all sorts of hard labor.
The soldiers of the Bridges Kingdom operated more like an army under the control of a warlord. They were all holding leather whips and supervising the work of the slaves, abusing them arbitrarily even at the slightest dissatisfaction. Most of the slaves working at the construction sites were Beastmen as they were strong and could do more heavy work.
As for female slaves, there were plenty here as well. They were the main commodity of the trade. It seemed as if Aucklands City had already become a transit city for large scale slave trading. Every day, a large number of merchant ships arrived here, ready for all kinds of ill trades.
The cargo holds and decks of the merchant ships were lined with cages that held the various special war trophies and the slaves of all races brought back by the Bridges expedition forces. Besides that, there was also plundered gold and treasures. The slaves on the ship were all stripped naked and put into special cages, escorted back here without the slightest hint of privacy to be sold as commodities.
Before coming in contact with the Human Continent, the Bridges Kingdom was already a dangerous kingdom. They relied on modern weaponry to exterminate the nearby civilizations on the other islands. Whether they were established by humans or not, they would exterminate all of them indiscriminately. After destroying them, they would grab the citizens, whether they were the nobles or commoners, bringing them back along with all their gold and treasure.
In addition to exterminating other maritime civilizations, the Bridges Kingdom also sent expeditionary forces to the Beastman Continent and the Elven Continent to plunder their wealth and search for valuable foreign slaves, which was already a clear act of aggression. From certain aspects, it seemed the demise of the Bridges Kingdom might have been the will of God.
Aucklands City was simply a sin city with a modern skin slapped onto it. The Bridges Kingdom was a fake Other World nation that was, in fact, a dark dictatorship. However, Bella would not comment on this as the transmigrators who created all this must have their own ideas about it. Bella was also unsure if she might have gone further if she were put in their position.
Bella and the God of Creation walked through the slave market along the street and headed up to the King’s manor at the center. Bella was glad that the one coming with her was the completely ignorant God of Creation. If it were one of her girl friends, then the extremely erotic images of the slave market might be too much for even the erotic loli Noesha. Perhaps only Succubus Queen Aisha might be able to handle it.
There were slaves of all races being sold in the market. The elven and fairy beauties that would be considered scarce resources in the Human Continent over a thousand years later could be seen everywhere, as well as many beauties of the Oceanic Race. Other than the higher races such as the Dragon, God, and Demonic Races, most foreign slaves could be bought here.
No matter what race the slaves were, they were all stripped naked after they were brought to this slave market, and their hands and feet were bound by black heavy metal chains behind their backs, and they were made to sit with their legs spread apart. There were also black metal collars worn around their necks, which had a thick iron chain attached to them as if they were tethered animals.
The slave girls’ eyes were covered with black blindfolds as their mouths were also tightly gagged with black cloth. They were unable to make any noises of protest and could only await their unknown fate.
Bells were tied to the two sensitive points on the chests of the female slaves. If they were to move, the bells would make a sound, making it impossible for them to even run. To prevent the foreign beauties from escaping with spells, they were force-fed special potions every once in a while to seal and reduce their mana and strength.
If the slave girls were virgins, then they were forced to wear metal “chastity pants” similar to the Western medieval ones found on Earth to distinguish them. After all, “first-hand goods” would be priced lower. The taste of this island’s slave market was also unique. They believed that first-hand goods were inexperienced and not as valuable as those who already had plenty of experience and could better service their masters.
So, the empresses and consorts were priced higher than the princesses and young mistresses. Sometimes, it was possible for the prices to go up several times more. As for the keys, those were in the hands of the slave traders and slavers. If someone came to buy the slaves, they would only be handed over to the buyer after a successful transaction.
Bella and the God of Creation were now under the concealment of “Perception Barrier” magic, so other people couldn’t see them. They were now more like tourists or observers, quietly taking in everything that was happening here. Bella found that the overseas slave market from more than a thousand years ago functioned very differently from the slave market in the mainland over a thousand years later.
Here, the best-selling slaves were the Beastman slaves and male slaves who could do hard work. These would all be snapped up before they were dragged to the markets, as they were all booked when they were still being transported on ships. The slaves being sold on the market were all female.
The Bridges Kingdom’s taste was also a mystery. Since the pirates discriminated against foreign races, it led them to believe that sexual relationships with foreign race beauties were practically no different from bestiality. So, the well sought-after foreign slaves such as the elves and the fairies were all unwanted even at the prices of vegetable scraps. They were already at the point where they were going for the “Buy one, get one free one,” or even “Buy one free, two free” deals and yet still remained unsold.
The good-selling female slaves here were the human slaves, especially royal and noble beauties captured from conquered island kingdoms. Whether they were princesses, empresses, or consorts, they could all be sold here at high prices. More philosophical relations were not spread to this island kingdom. The handsome male elven slaves that would be simply priceless a thousand years later were not even worth bringing back and were directly killed in the invasion wars.
Had it not been for her inability to interfere with the past, Bella would long have been unable to suppress the dark emotions in her heart and would have gone on a foreign beauty buying spree. Even if they were not resold, collecting them was nice too. Several “top grade” female elves with face value far above Half-Elf Princess Kliveny, and the sisters Dark Elf Princess Camille and Milia were only sold for a few dozen copper coins. And, they were even running a “Buy one, get one free” promotion.
The God of Creation who was holding Bella’s hand at the side had inadvertently become the “guardian” maintaining Bella’s last shred of modesty. Bella was able to calm her impulses again after looking at her. There was not the slightest bit of reaction from the God of Creation after seeing this dark and erotic scene. She was calm as a robot. Only while speaking to Bella would there be slight changes in the tone of her voice.
The closer they got to the royal palace, the more Bella could feel the hints of soul resonance trying to relay some sort of important information to her. She had only encountered this same feeling with the Grudge last time. Could it be? The transmigrator in the palace was her Grudge buddy, who hadn’t turned yet from a thousand years ago?
When they were about to reach the entrance, Bella saw the Aldridge Empire’s envoys who came to visit. It was likely that the envoys were aware of the hardcore slavery system in the Bridges Kingdom, so to avoid any ill reactions, the Aldridge Empire dispatched a group of envoys who were all men and not a single woman.
The ambassador at the head held a well-sealed wooden box that contained the Forbidden Book that would bring the Bridges Kingdom to ruin. Based on the normal course of history, the chief ambassador with the box would “accidentally” leave the box behind while visiting King Bridges and deliberately let the King pick it up.
