A mysterious, manaless white-haired man appeared and berated Diane for her anger, before revealing he sought to use her for his own ambitions regarding Earth and Jason Marc. Diane attacked him, but her sword and runes proved useless against him. As the man brutalized Diane, Jamat intervened, surprisingly managing to wound the stranger, only for the man to threaten Diane's life in response.

Jamat instantly halted his movement, his throat constricting as the white-haired man stooped to whisper to Diane in a hushed tone.

"No woman shall ever lay their hands upon me. I've ensured this, so it's best you abandon whatever scheme you're concocting. I have plans for you, and I won't permit your foolishness to disrupt my amusement. Now, gaze into my eyes."

The man with white hair seized Diane by her chin, tilting her head back with force for her to meet his gaze. Diane's eyes widened as she beheld a swirling vortex of colors within his irises! It felt as though her entire life flashed before her in that instant, her face contorting from a tense, enraged expression to a vacant, listless look, resembling one under the influence of narcotics!

BOOM!

A resounding crash erupted from beyond the chamber as the Bengari guards finally reached Diane’s quarters. They burst through the doorway, swords bared! The guards registered the sight of the white-haired man looming over their Queen and let out roars as they charged. Yet, the man seemed utterly unfazed by their assault! He stepped away from Diane, calmly moving aside as one of the guards swung her blade at him. The sword merely deflected off him with a metallic clang, sending the guard hurtling backward! The same outcome befell every other woman present; they stood stunned, realizing their attacks were utterly futile! The white-haired man turned his attention back to Diane, his voice gentle.

"You are lucid now, are you not? Your mind is far too underdeveloped to remain ens!“Get rid of these meddlers."

Diane's body spasmed, and the guards watched their Queen with apprehension as she rose from the floor as if manipulated by unseen strings! Diane clenched her sword in her fractured arm, utterly oblivious to the pain, her gaze fixed upon the guards with eyes full of hatred!

"M-My Queen!? What has befallen you!? Regain your senses!"

The captain of the guard recoiled, a step back, upon witnessing Diane’s expression, calling out to her in shock! All the other guards present felt a chilling fear grip their hearts as they observed Diane's demeanor. Deep within them, a somber realization dawned: this was no longer the Queen they once knew! Diane was lost, replaced by a stranger in her stead!

DOON!

Diane's magical power surged through the room in an overwhelming wave. In the following moment, Diane crouched low before launching herself at her companions with a ferocious roar!

[Earth]

[America, Texas]

The state of Texas stood as one of America's foremost agricultural centers and harbored the nation's most peculiar superhuman subculture! Unlike other states permitting independent entities to establish guilds and tackle Gates, Texas had instituted the Superhuman Troopers. This organization comprised exceptionally potent individuals, ranked from C to S-Class, tasked with managing any Gates that manifested within the state's borders! No Enforcers were permitted in Texas; the SHT bore the sole responsibility for addressing all superhuman-related incidents and maintaining societal order throughout the region. Consequently, Texas found it remarkably simple to adapt to the new superhuman landscape following the presidential decrees issued a month prior!

The global shifts that ensued after the summit of world leaders were swift and profound! The populace lacked a complete understanding of the unfolding events, and in some nations, citizens resisted numerous proposed changes, recognizing the potential to fundamentally alter their economies and military structures! Many believed that the extensive liquidation of gold reserves would trigger an immediate devaluation of their currencies. Others felt that consolidating the hundred most formidable superhumans into a single guild would cripple the nations’ ability to effectively counter the Gates!

However, against all expectations, the outcome diverged significantly from any anticipated scenario! As all major global powers divested their gold holdings concurrently, the economic impact was surprisingly minimal. The sudden relocation of the strongest superhumans to the capitals of prominent nations resulted in the majority of Gates appearing precisely in those capitols, drawing the superhumans into their vicinity! Given that Gates arise from concentrated mana in the atmosphere, it was only logical that their proliferation would increase in areas frequented by the most powerful cultivators!

Among all the nations, America underwent the most significant transformations. Immediately following the summit of world leaders, the American President declared the formation of a new 'American Guild.' He appointed the head of the Superhumans Management Department and the Chief Commander of the Enforcers to select the finest superhumans for this guild. Many of the nation's existing guilds voiced their discontent, realizing they would be losing their most powerful members to this new 'American Guild.' However, resistance was futile, as the advantages of joining the American Guild were simply too substantial to ignore!

Not only were the members promised substantially higher remuneration, but the prospect of drawing closer to the Monarch guild, under the leadership of Jason Marc, was an opportunity too enticing for anyone to refuse! For the past month, Jason had been diligently working to ensure every aspect of his plan unfolded precisely as intended. Jason typically wasn't one to involve himself in political or economic affairs; Juliet could readily attest to his dislike for the burdens of guild leadership. Yet, she was astonished to witness Jason earnestly dedicating himself to making things work this time around!

Jason conducted regular visits to various countries globally, personally inspecting the Monarch guild's outposts to ensure their smooth operation. Thanks to Jason's innate ability to traverse vast distances effortlessly, completing all his inspections within a single day became feasible. He would then promptly move on to fulfilling the numerous other responsibilities that had fallen upon him as the leader of the new world order.

Currently, Gaia was exerting extraordinary effort to intercept and manage any interworld travelers arriving on Earth. In contrast to their previous practice of arresting and detaining these travelers, Gaia had adopted a far more lenient approach. They were now hosting the interworld travelers and arranging meetings between them and Jason. Numerous emissaries from worlds neighboring Earth had arrived to announce their rulers' desire to visit the Overlord. Gaia had to convey to all these emissaries that Earth was not yet prepared to receive visitors. It would require at least two months to finalize the Aqualith trades and establish the Monarch Branches worldwide. Once these preparations were complete, Earth would be more than willing to welcome guests!

This message proved satisfactory to the emissaries, who then relayed it back to their respective rulers. Simultaneously, Jason tasked Azrael and Vana with the critical mission of erecting a planet-wide rune network designed to prevent unauthorized interworld travel.
