A moment ago.
Roman Dmitry received a report on the situation.
That Julian, one of the chosen, had attacked people, and that the Absolute wanted to meet him directly.
It was an unexpected variable.
He had calculated the possibility of a defiant being like Julian appearing, but he hadn't expected the Absolute to approach him through its own chosen one.
This was a matter he had no choice but to respond to.
Leaving aside the issue of dealing with Julian, he had to confirm what a transcendent being like the Absolute was thinking.
However.
“I will not comply with the Absolute's demand.”
The leaders were surprised.
They hadn't expected it.
They had judged that they should talk first and then think about the next step, but Roman Dmitry drew a line from the very beginning.
Roman Dmitry was not ordinary.
When people thought of common sense, he saw the whole picture.
“We have already decided on war with the Absolute. No matter how the situation changes in the future, the fact that we must eradicate the Absolute who plunged humanity into the pit of despair remains unchanged. Therefore, responding to their demand is not an issue that ends with simply having a ‘conversation’. They are confident that no harm will come to them even after daring to set foot in the territory of the Great Korean Empire, and if I were to meekly accept their demand, that in itself would set a precedent proving humanity's weakness.”
Think about it.
Is there ever a case where a powerful nation listens to the request of a weak one?
There is not.
Perhaps it would be different if the weak nation bowed its head and begged for just one conversation, but in a situation where they kill people while summoning the ‘leader’, a powerful nation would not choose a peaceful method.
It was a clear disregard.
