Future Shock (Initial Project)

Vol. 4 Chapter 2 - Foreigners (1/2)

They looked at Matthew with a hint of relief, interest, and confusion.

"Judging by your expression, our motives weren't what you were expecting. Now, I can recall most Resurrected ones were tyrannical in Personality and mentality, but for me I'am unique, There are little to no alterations in my mindset"-

The last part was a partially lie, his mental state was been unnatural upon resurrection. But it should be noted he isn't as tyrannical as all his past equivalents.

"So it's true...?" Sofia asked.

"But why give this hellspawn equality...?" Sofia said with venom in her tone.

"Why you little-" Vivian was about to snap.

"Enough! Alright, let me give you some insight. And I refuse to lie, so you better hear me out, if you don't believe me then shame on you."

"What?" Sofia tilted her Head in confusion, while Vivian simply listened

Matthew proceeded to explain much of what Aurora had explained to her, but he had to blur out several details such as both of the Gods working on such an experiment, and he had to change how he received such information, into something akin to conversing with Aurora through prayer and blessings, which he believed was more believable for a devout theocrat.

"Which is exactly what my Kingdom is defending itself against, the queen actually hoped to establish relations to your nation for preventing Human Nations to go against us while we continue our fight for survival against the warmongers." Vivian said, when Matthew finished his explanation.

"Now what about Sofia... I don't care if you don't believe me but-"

"I partially do..."

"Exact- Wait Really?"

"I was always confused, why some of the demons ran away instead of fighting with barbarism As myth had depicted... But nevertheless I continued on without much thought of it... If your visions are to be believed... Then it should, But... I doubt anyone would change their views. And I don't want to say something like that. Not after all we've been through."

"Then how about we keep this encounter confidential?" Matthew said, which made both of them tilt their heads.

"In simplified terms; Secret, We have never officially made contact, none of us have. Though I still have to do a few processes before I could let you go, such as I hope you did not spy on our government departments, steal blueprints, or gain knowledge of our limited-to-government Information."

"How am I even supposed to do so, if the other locations are like this place, then I doubt I could handle it Well."

"True... Very."Matthew said

"I just... I want to finish my task, i was never explicitly told to spy, but I was told to observe how Aurelia is like. Nothing more."

Matthew felt one more tap from Akane on his shoulder.

"Then Maybe we could come to an agreement."

—~~—South Atochia Sea—~~—

A flotilla consisting of Nine ships sailed through the south Atochia sea, heading north to the main atochian continent.

Two ships at the very front of the Flotilla was a Passenger Steam ship and a anti-Sea Creature Gunboat belonging to the De Fougere Empire.

While following alongside and behind it were Five Glória-class Ironclads and Two Patriana-class Heavy Turret Ships of the Grand Altesan Navy, unlike the rest of the nations that wished for peaceful relations with the Directorate, Altesa was more pressed on Gunboat Policy, trying to flex it's authority.
