Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 127

Jin Ha’s face, which had brightened at the thought that Michael would help her, twisted into a look as if she’d just bitten into feces at his next words. She no longer bothered controlling her expression.

“A monarchy like Asgard would be the luckiest possible outcome. This country has well-established laws—the Awakener Special Act and the Hunter Special Act—and a solid system thanks to their compliance… But if that system collapses, we might end up like the old United States. In a land ruled by outlaws and villains, both powerless unawakened citizens and mighty Hunters alike would struggle to survive—unless, of course, you possess overwhelming strength like Gabrielle.”

He added calmly, as if it were obvious, “If you really want to self-destruct, you don’t need to go that far…”

When Michael finished speaking, silence fell over the hall. People blinked, trying to decipher the meaning of what they’d just heard, glancing warily at those around them.

This reaction was entirely different from when Baek Jang Mi had threatened to split everyone in half.

It was truly absurd. No matter how famous Michael might be as a Ranker, Baek Jang Mi was equally renowned—a top-tier Korean Ranker. Her gentle nature and desire for harmony didn’t change the fact that she was a formidable Ranker.

Yet they mocked Baek Jang Mi as if she were insignificant, while reacting so strongly to Michael, who merely looked like a young boy.

“…That’s going too far. When did I ever say I’d establish a monarchy?”

“It sounded that way… Wasn’t it?”

Jin Ha asked with a hardened expression. Michael replied calmly.

Baek Jang Mi’s eyes sparkled as she watched this exchange. Only Gabrielle, nestled in my arms, looked utterly bewildered, clearly failing to grasp the underlying implications of the current discussion.

It was laughable that the gathered crowd underestimated their own national Ranker, Baek Jang Mi—but equally absurd that they couldn’t foresee the future hinted at in Jin Ha’s declaration.

What Michael had just said wasn’t something only a visionary could predict.

Once a system collapses, it’s nearly impossible to restore. Countless nations had crumbled with the emergence of Gates and Awakeners, and just as many had restructured entirely through raw power.

In such places, might makes right, and the powerless are naturally oppressed—it’s only logical.
