Chapter 221: Capital Of The Earth
The first rays of sunlight lit up a large aircraft soaring through the sky. Darian, along with an entourage from the New Arcadia Empire, was approaching a specific point in the Atlantic Ocean.
Back in the day, Earth needed a central place where the empires could meet to discuss important matters — and where visitors from other planets could gather for all kinds of reasons.
Since the Solar Federation Empire was by far the biggest one on Earth, they were the ones who designated this region within their territory, promising all the other empires that it would be a neutral and protected zone. No one could enter it or head to the other continents without permission.
Its location was strategic — close to four out of the six empires on Earth. That’s why the place ended up being considered the capital of the planet — a meeting point where the global powers could gather, hold debates, and use for other purposes.
All planetary tournaments were held there. It was the only place on Earth where High Humans could show up and move around freely... or almost freely.
Nobody was allowed to live there or stay longer than a certain amount of time. And everything — absolutely everything — was under strict surveillance. The whole place was surrounded by artifacts, and you couldn’t breathe for even a second without being watched.
That monitoring was fully open to the military of all six empires, so none of their Spiritual Guardians could get away with anything shady. Anyone planning to betray or pull something off in secret knew this place was the worst option.
Looking out the window, Darian saw a large island, and another smaller one nearby.
But they weren’t just two islands — it was actually a single massive futuristic megacity, with floating structures rising like artificial peaks, blending the ancient with the high-tech. Below, the landscape shifted between green plains and huge building complexes connected by underwater tunnels and sky bridges. Preserved mountains and coastlines sparkled in the distance.
Back in the 21st century, that area was known as the island of Great Britain and the island of Ireland. There had also been smaller islands around, but those had sunk after Earth’s changes. Today, the whole region was called Neo-Britannia.
