2nd Meeting with World Leaders

The trio arrived over the Gulf of Mexico in the morning sky. Qwen's Cloud Skimmer land had become visible. It slowed down once they went fairly deep inland and arrive over a desert. Once he went over a mostly flat piece of land he halted the ship.

"This is area good."

Mertz stood and looked outside. He only saw a sand dunes and large rocks. It was completely uninhabitable land.

"What did we stop for, there nothing here? Aren't was supposed to find a suitable location?" Mantz asked.

"Of course we just did. Just watch the show."

A light flew out of Qwens head and out of sight.

"I'll be right back."

"Wait!

Mantz grabbed at Qwen but vanished before he could stop him.

Mantz fist pounded on the glass in frustration.

"Dammit!"

Qwen had used his blink skill to teleport outside of the ship and floated in the air.

Looking above him, up in the clouds was his beautiful palace. He went inside and was transported infront of a building labeled 'teleportation array'.

The array for teleportation were in engrave on rods that would split into the ground and create a portal powered by spirit energy.

The arrays would only work with the Chi signature of the person that created them.

<The palaces you that you had requested are ready.>

Qwen used the portal in the teleportation in his palace and went back to he tower. He learned that he was able to absorb up to four palace sized objects roughly. It would cost him 80% of his spirit energy to do so.

He wasn't in a combat situation currently. At the moment, his base stats were more than enough to handle any situation that arose from people.

He had only taken 4 palaces that he would distribute them around the world. He would establish a new long range teleportation network that stretched world wide. By the time he was finished, he would have a palace on every continent.

He had 100 teleportation array rods that he could use. He would put one in the center of 50 major cities in the world.

He would start a teleportation network connected to the palaces which are in turned conned to the separate space that Elder had created.

This palace would be the 1st of many. All of the palaces were mad wolf different colors one blue, green, purple, and white. All were the size of cites on their own. Inside he had Elder set up lobby area in each.

After entering into the palace via a portal. A person ould then be directed to teleportation array that will instantly take you where you to go.

They each palace housed a military barracks, a command center, general living quarters and food facilites for the normal civilians.

For the system user they will have access to more of the palace features for GP. There will be shops that cater to professions sell weapons and items. There wer a unique item shops. Luxury areas like casinos and upscale taverns.

There was System education and early combat training. There were betting combat arenas.

The list went on and on. Qwen was honestly shocked. Elder had surely out did himself.

Qwen went back outside and released the new massive green jade like palace that effortlessly floated he sky. It had large pillars and it's own massive courtyard and garden with foriegn exotic plants. Qwen named the palace Green Jade Palace.

It would be the meeting place for all of the world leader in the region.

Some distance away he went to the ground and place the 50 meter wide teleportation array rod into it. He channeled his spirit energy into the rod.

The rods glowed with array inscriptions on them before expanding into a circular formation. The rods then burst into he ground and created a small platform.

Just above the platform a black portal formed and stayed open.

Qwen went back to his Cloud Skipper.

A stunned agent Mantz and Clarke stared at Qwen like he was a Martian.

"Alright we're all done here. We just have to go around the worlds and do this 60 more times."

"But..but how is it still floating and is that a palace? Hiw do you even have a palace. Mantz just to make sure that is a freaking floating place the size of Texas right?"

Mantz only nodded blankly.

'Looks like I nearly broke the man'.

Qwen smirked to himself.

He hoped in the cock pit and would fly for a time and stop befor dropping and activating a rod. For hours they had dropped the rods at seemingly random locations.

The agents had long stopped asking where Qwen was going. By the 10th rod, they only watched in amazement. The two agents weren't 'system users' yet and didnt know just how powerful it could make you.

The palaces were placed in the regions they would represent. The Green Jade Palace over the Noth American Continent. The palace with various shades of blue. The Blue Diamond palace was located the over of the center of the African continent. The third was the Purple Dragon Palace located over Asia. The last was in Australia, the white Lotus Palace.

Finally Qwen and the trio were able to return to the Green Jade Palace in north America. In the 30 hours the White House officials had begun set up a podium and stand in front of the lobby area called the Transport hub.

The meeting was supposed to take place over 24 hours earlier. Many of the world leaders were initially up in arms over being told to wait.

However when intel began to come in about massive palace like structures over their continents. The cries quickly quited down. For the world leaders the sights of the floating palaces defied all their comprehension.

The meeting was held the same way as the previous except that there were leaders from north America and the surrounding islands in attendance.

A neutrally agreed upon host was the speaker for the meeting. An asian man stood on the stage and introduced every leaders and more and more tuned into the meeting. Finally the asian speaker bowed and began the meeting

"Hello all and thank you for coming. I'm sure everyone has questions but, I believe we should let our host speak first? Due to the recent the world leaders would like to start by discussing these floating palaces. Mr. Valas you have the floor."

The Chinese president spoke next with a frown on his face.

"Why you place these....palaces near our country with out approval? One could view this as an act of aggression."

Qwen sighed inwardly.

'Why did I let myself get involved in politics?'

He turned to the camera in front of him.

"Hello to you all. As you know today is the last day of the dungeon breaks. We have no way to fight back these monster unless we get stronger.

System users ar the only things that have any chances of taking down these creatures.

These palaces offer the system users in the region a way to safely get stronger without always risking their lives. In turn you will have stronger more confident fighter to protect the planet."

The chinese prime minister interrupted him.

"How is it that we even enter these floating palace cities? They are all floating tens of feet in the air."

"That answer is easy." Qwen responsed.

"I have set up 50 objects called teleportation array rods around the world. They are the means to reach the the main larger array that leads into one of the palaces. They can also reach one of the smaller arrays to travel long distances faster.

From the larger teleportation array, we would there be able to transport perosnell and resources to and from the palaces."

The chinese prime minister nodded.

"The world has changed and we have to change with it. There are regional palaces due to the fact that everyone may not be able to take so much change so soon.

For now I want to limit most of the teleportation array to their local regional palaces. They way we can slowly integrate the idea of the planet acting as one."

Qwens face turned deadly serious as he spoke, prompting the leaders to take his words seriously.

"Make no mistake we are at the end of life as we once knew it. All of your plot and plans, all of your attempts to hoard money, or increase self interest are all useless and in vain.

You think this is going to end? Do you think we've won? We haven't even scratched the surface at what's coming. The vampire lord alone was enough to wipe out humanity like a plague. There was no one alive that could stop him had I not arrived. He was able to kill and turn the dead into his powerful vampire puppets.

Now think about this monster in your largest cities. Or the thousands of mindless, skeletons that feel non pain. The hoard was summoned by a powerful necromancer that could also summon monster at will. Our only line of defense today are the system users.

"So what do you reccomend we do?" The Indian president asked.

"You must prepare to unify the entire world for starters."
