The short span of half an hour was not enough for Anglo to be properly prepared.

  Soon, after an hour, the whole world already knew that the Ultimate that was hidden in the chasm of the realm of aether in the past, drifting detached around the Physical World, had reappeared!

  It was a signal of danger.

  Throughout history, the Ultimate had officially appeared for three times in total.

  On its first appearance, it brought with it the Holy Cauldron. On its second appearance, it established the quiet moon. And what would it bring to the world on the third appearance?

  Moreover, it had appeared directly in the form of the remains of a catastrophe and a secret wonderland.

  If the Ultimate was in a state of silence, it would be a deathtrap that everyone would avoid like the plague.

  But at the moment, the situation was utterly different!

  Everyone knew the value of a brand new secret wonderland, as well as that of the remains of a catastrophe, not to mention an overlap between the two……

  It was like a treasure vault that had opened its doors, with everything inside up for grabs!

  It possessed a terrifying attraction across many aspects, be it the various secret treasures and precious materials that had been cultivated in it for a long time, its own vast power, or even natural elements.

  It was unlikely for any musician to be able to reject its temptation.

  Soon, the countries discovered something that would cause them even more pain in the ass…… Originally, according to usual practice, the country which the site of remains was located in had precedence in terms of investigation and excavation.

  However, after repeated calculations, it was discovered that the physical body of the Ultimate had appeared in international waters and even involved dozens of key waterways.

  To the north of the narrow sea region was Asgard, to the south, Burgundy, and to the west, Anglo. Six other countries were located to its east, and it wasn't even far away from the location of the Cloud Tower……

  In other words, in the blink of an eye, the international waters that no one had any interest in originally had instantly become a strategic point and hub involving the maritime strategies of various countries.

  The strange sea region that was calm and tranquil had become an absolute 'whirlpool', pulling most of the western countries into it in just an instant, and even Aurora in the East couldn't sit by idly.

  If a country lost access to the Ultimate and allowed other countries to occupy the site, in the next 30 years at least, other countries would have it over a barrel across many aspects, be it trade, strategy, or even territorial sovereignty……

  The complicated and strange relationship, which resembled hot oil, between the various countries, had completely intensified and boiled after the Ultimate's appearance poured a pot of cold water into it.

  Within the first hour the Ultimate's appearance, the countries had entered a state of emergency.

  Within the second hour, senior officials and relevant departments in the various countries had entered their respective meetings. Within the sixth hour of its appearance, the meetings had yet to end, but in all the meetings, no matter which one, the participants had come to only one consensus.

  — The Ultimate must be firmly grasped in their hands!

  The goal was to be achieved at all costs if need be.

  In the fourth hour, Mary, the Queen Regnant of Anglo, ordered that the rank of admiral be temporarily granted to the Sylvaine, who was originally one of the leaders of the Navy, and that the First Fleet of the Royal Navy depart from the harbor and rush to the Ultimate at full speed.

  At the same time, in Asgard, the Stronghold on Sea which was originally berthed at the national border to deter the Caucasus kingdom rumbled, and smoke spurted out of the countless chimneys, blocking out the sky and the sun.

  Hundreds of gigantic aether furnaces were slowly preheated and started. The warship slowly accelerated from a speed of zero, and in the end stirred up frenzied tides on the sea.

  Flanked by dozens of new generation warships, the Navy of Asgard set off.

  Ten minutes later, Burgundy also reacted…… ……
