Cecilia seemed to be interested in the growth process of His Royal Highness the Son of God. Since she first came to see the child in the incubator, she came almost every few days for more than a month.
Cecilia squatted in front of the incubator and looked at it again and again, with an extremely curious look in her eyes.
After all, when she came to see me more than a month ago, she was only three or four years old, but now she looks like a teenager of eleven or twelve years old.
"His Highness Huo Chao..."
Cecilia whispered softly,
-so similar.
Even though I know it's just a mindless puppet.
But when she looked at the other person's familiar face, she could still feel a deep fear.
Even though Bai Min said that Huo Chao was not scary and was a very nice person, Cecilia didn't think so. She was deeply afraid of Huo Chao from the first time she saw him.
How can the strongest alpha in the human race not be scary
Although Cecilia heard from the Pope that this Huo Chao clone was not only a political tool to defeat Pei Changyun, but also an important weapon to recover SSS-level assets. But in fact, she did not know the latter's specific plan.
The woman touched the incubator and subconsciously lowered her voice in front of that face.
"It's growing so fast. It's already this big. But it seems that it doesn't grow at the same rate as humans..."
Cecilia actually felt strange, even though she didn't understand, so she turned around and asked the researcher who was silently watching her,
"Even if it's a clone, isn't the speed a bit too fast?"
But the other party just replied calmly: "Lady Cecilia, His Highness Huo Chao is different from others. Everything you see now is at normal speed."
"oh."
This answer seems to be an answer, but it's just nonsense.
Cecilia sighed inwardly and turned back.
At this time, a blood-red stigma bulged out from the clone's heart, entwined, and shaped like a hell rose carved out of a heart. Then, the black branches and leaves of the rose spread in all directions, covering the entire chest and back.
"This stigma seems a little different?"
The researcher still gave the same explanation.
"Because His Highness Huo Chao is different from others."
"… "
Half an hour later, an alpha assistant escorted her out of the laboratory. The man bowed his head slightly and spoke respectfully:
"Lady Cecilia, please take care."
"… "
Cecilia glanced at him and suddenly smiled.
"Well, it's really difficult to get the genes of His Highness the Son of God."
And she still didn't quite understand. After all, Huo Chao grew up in the Illusionary God Church. Logically speaking, as such an important asset of the church, how could His Highness the Son of God not keep a genetic backup
The woman's eyes dimmed slightly, but her expression quickly returned to normal and she smiled sweetly.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Assistant..."
The charming omega suddenly climbed onto his shoulders and softened her tone.
"Leah has a question for you."
“You… you ask.”
The assistant tensed his muscles uncomfortably. Although Cecilia had her glands removed, everything about her was that of an omega, except for the lack of pheromones.
Extremely rare pink hair and pink eyes, a charming and seductive figure, and an exquisite and beautiful face.
—It is no exaggeration to call her a stunning beauty.
In this cult where alphas are rampant and betas are rare, Cecilia can become the focus of everyone wherever she goes just by her appearance.
"Didn't His Highness Huo Chao grow up here? I remember that before that person attacked the Holy White Tower and destroyed all the DNA samples, there should have been a backup, and it seems that you also sent an omega there at that time... "
"Lady Cecilia, this..."
The assistant felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I'm a stupid omega, so I don't understand your profession, right?"
Cecilia approached him, her head tilted up, her eyes drooping, looking pitiful.
"Just to satisfy my curiosity, is it because the previous DNA couldn't be used? Why couldn't it be used? Why can this one be used?"
The assistant was slightly startled, but still waved his hands.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Lady Cecilia, this, this I can't tell you."
"Oh alright."
Cecilia lowered her eyes, revealing a very disappointed expression. She stretched out her hand, and her red nails slowly brushed across the man's face. Her tone gradually became cold and dangerous.
"You're also the first alpha to reject Leah."
She lowered her eyes and glanced at the name tag on the man's chest.
"Little Yuri, I will remember you."
A sharp and slightly cool touch brushed across the side of his face, and Yuris showed a slightly horrified expression.
He was not Bernard's personal assistant, but just an assistant in the peripheral laboratory, so if Cecilia wanted to cause trouble for him, it would be easy.
"Lady Cecilia, actually, I'm not sure about this either."
He spoke tremblingly in a low voice, almost inaudible.
"I only know that His Highness Huo Chao's genes seem to be different from others, so samples are kept every once in a while, but you know... His Highness rarely comes back later."
"?"
Not quite the same
What's the meaning
Cecilia frowned, but before she could ask clearly, the other party ran away in a hurry, as if a ghost was chasing him.
But everyone's genes are indeed different when compared horizontally, but it is obvious that the other party will not say this common sense, and retain samples every once in a while...
"Lady Cecilia, have you finished your business?"
She turned around and saw a familiar figure.
—It was her subordinate Ace.
"Um."
Cecilia nodded and walked back slowly in her high heels.
"By the way, Ace, do you remember that after His Highness Huo Chao joined the army, he seemed to have seldom come back?"
"It's more than just that I rarely come back, Lady Cecilia."
Ace followed her obediently and replied:
"He has hardly ever come back. Even after His Highness Huo Chao was awarded the rank of general, he never came back again until..."
Cecilia knew what he meant by the omitted sentence.
—Until the people from the Stigmata Research Institute sent Huo Chao an omega in the pubescent stage.
Cecilia speculated that their purpose should be to obtain Huo Chao's genes, and then use the relationship of AO's thorough marking to contain him. But they failed... As a result, Huo Chao was completely enraged, causing His Highness the Son of God to completely break off relations with the church.
Cecilia remembered that incident very clearly. Or rather, everyone in the entire Illusionary God Cult who had experienced that incident and survived remembered it very clearly.
Huo Chao rushed to the Holy White Tower like a madman. Anyone who blocked his way was beheaded, no matter if they were low-ranking believers or Rhodes, who was the archbishop at the time.
Cecilia had always been afraid of Huo Chao, so naturally she did not dare to stop him. She had been hiding far away at the time and had not seen the specific scene with her own eyes. Only when everything was over did she discover that the entire Holy White Tower had been almost bathed in blood.
But... is Huo Chao really so angry and crazy just because of an omega in the puberty period
Cecilia doesn't think so.
Huo Chao might be angry that he was being plotted against, but he would not go so far as to massacre the Holy White Tower with blood or even kill the Pope. After all, if Huo Chao had not done such a thing, everyone knew that he would be the next Pope.
There must be some other reason, something serious enough to have touched the Huo Dynasty's forbidden area.
What could it be
"Speaking of which, that person is indeed worthy of being the Son of God. He has really strong self-control."
Ace sighed. At that time, he was just a low-ranking believer, but he had heard a little bit about it.
"In the face of the A-level omega Fa Qian, he was able to remain indifferent."
Alphas also have sexual intercourse, but it is different from the stable two to three times a year of omegas after they reach adulthood. They are passive and can only be aroused by the pheromones of the omega. The instinct of reproduction will make them lose their minds, become violent and manic, and they will possess the omega at all costs.
"What a pity. An A-rank omega... I don't know who took advantage of him in the end."
Cecilia's eyes darkened.
She knew that it was a patrolling soldier. At that time, Huo Chao hid in the forbidden abyss, and Fa Qian's omega attracted the patrolling soldier, and then the omega was completely marked and became pregnant. Cecilia knew all these unknown details because Bai Min told her.
At this moment, Cecilia paused, suddenly turned her head and asked,
"Ace, you said that a person's genes need to be regularly backed up. Why is that?"
"?"
The man was stunned for a moment. He followed Cecilia, looked up at her quickly, and then looked down again.
"Lady Cecilia, I don't know much about this kind of professional knowledge, so I can't give you an accurate answer."
"… "
Cecilia pursed her lips and turned away, as if she had never asked anything.
Expertise…
Tsk, Cecilia thought of He Zhun.
Since she rejected He Zhun last month, Cecilia heard that the little guy immediately went to find Leinster. She didn't know what sweetness he had tasted. After returning, he became much more obedient and worked as a data recorder in the Stigmata Research Institute. It was said that he did a good job and now seemed to have been transferred to a higher level.
As expected of a little fox, she climbed up so fast. However, He Zhun would occasionally come back to greet her. I don’t know what that guy from Leinster said to He Zhun, but anyway, the little guy didn’t chase her and ask questions anymore.
"Lady Cecilia, do you want me to find that person?"
Ace spoke carefully. Cecilia knew he was talking about He Zhun, but she still waved her hand to refuse.
"No need, I'm just asking casually. You know, when I hear those weird professional terms, they're like incomprehensible books to me and give me a headache."
But Cecilia didn't figure out the answer to this casual question until she returned to her residence.
However, since Huo Chao's clone was a secret weapon used against Huo Xianfeng, there must be a connection between the two. The most intuitive manifestation is that Huo Xianfeng and Huo Chao look very similar.
Cecilia thought about it, took out a small box, unlocked it and opened it.
There was a pile of small miscellaneous items inside, mostly porcelain ornaments. Cecilia found the photo album at the bottom.
In this era of advanced electronic technology, few people keep physical photo albums and photos. But Cecilia has a thick one in her hand.
She opened it and found many, many photos inside.
Most of the first part is about Bai Min and Huo Chao when they were little, but as time goes by, more people gradually appear in the back, including Huo Chao and Jiang Jinsheng, Huo Chao and Pei Changyun, Jiang Jinsheng and Zhou Jiuya, Ye Shu, and Cecilia and Bai Min...
At that time, everyone was very young.
When Huo Chao was a child, he was not the sullen Son of God. His smile was bright and sunny. However, in the photos with friends during his youth, he was a little more reserved.
Jiang Jinsheng was still pretending to be gentle and gentlemanly, which Cecilia hated. His smile was very ugly, but Her Highness the Saint next to him just blushed.
Pei Changyun always had a cold face, because that was the only way to shock a group of alpha officers, but when he stood next to Huo Chao, his eyes would be a little softer, and his dark green eyes were as beautiful as emeralds in the sun.
There are many candid shots in the back, some of which are blurry, and in some of them you can see Bai Min’s hands accidentally caught in the shot.
Zhou Jiuya was a rebellious and cool guy at that time, but in the photo he was still being held down and rubbed on the head by his brother, and he was angry and embarrassed but helpless.
Ye Shu and Pei Changyun started arguing. Huo Chao looked at the ceiling in silence, covering his face with documents and pretending not to hear.
And when he went to the Omega Protection Association to express his condolences, Marshal Huo Chao was surrounded by a group of omega children, with his arms folded across his chest, looking like a cool and arrogant guy.
"… "
In fact, there are many photos of Cecilia herself later, from being timid and not daring to look up, to being bright and charming later, but Bai Min was always standing beside her. So she rarely looked at the camera, but always looked at her beloved Saint.
There are many, many photos in this album. In addition to people, there are even photos of mechas, such as Jin Yuan, Wan Jiang, Pei Changyun's B-class small mecha Chang Meng, and the double-S mecha Chengyue that once belonged to Bai Min and is now inherited by Cecilia.
—All photos were taken by Bai Min.
The thoughtful Saint likes to keep memories, so she made an album. All the photos together contain at least hundreds of photos.
Cecilia flipped through the pages one by one, pulling out every photo with Huo Chao in it. She took a final look at it for a moment, closed the album, and arranged the photos with Huo Chao in them by age.
You don't notice it when you look at them individually, but when you put all the photos together... Cecilia put the two photos of Huo Chao when he was a child and Huo Chao when he was a marshal together and found that they didn't look alike at all.
Moreover, the young Huo Chao in the photo does not match the face of the same age in the incubator.
Cecilia suddenly remembered that Bai Min had mentioned to her,
[Actually, I remember that Brother Huo Chao was much cuter when he was little, with round eyes and soft hair. But I don’t know if all alphas will be fierce when they grow up. His eyes have become a little narrow and his hair is very hard. When he has a cold face, he looks fierce and arrogant.]
At that time, the blonde girl came close and whispered to her,
[Leah, do you remember the photo of the Omega Protection Association? I felt at the time... Brother Huo Chao, it didn't seem like Brother Huo Chao...]
[It’s weird, right? But I just feel that his eyes are not like that, they should be a little fierce, but he is very gentle to children, so he doesn’t seem that fierce…]
Cecilia closed her eyes and reached out to touch the pendant on her earlobe.
"Chengyue, do a facial scan."
"yes."
The mecha's mimic earrings immediately flew down from Cecilia's ears and began to scan Huo Chao's facial information from different periods. A few minutes later, Cheng Yue's voice became slightly solemn.
"Liya, according to the facial bone analysis of His Highness Huo Chao when he was seven years old, he shouldn't have grown into his final appearance. But I didn't find any traces of facial surgery."
Cecilia's face darkened.
Huo Chao's genes must be backed up every once in a while, and Huo Chao's face is getting closer and closer to Huo Xianfeng. Moreover, Huo Xianfeng, as an SSS-level precious asset, is even higher than Huo Chao's...
At this moment, something flashed through her mind—
Does that mean that it's not Huo Xianfeng who looks like Huo Chao, but Huo Chao who looks like Huo Xianfeng
"Yes… "
definitely is!
Huo Chao's genes are changing, so they must be backed up every once in a while. That's why the Phantom God Cult has been looking for the Forbidden Abyss for so many years, not only for the top combat power of the SSS-class mecha, but also for the genes of Huo Chao's final period.
He is the Son of God, the most perfect creation that the Phantom God Cult has cultivated with all its efforts over the years.
"It's just... just why does Huo Chao look like Huo Xianfeng?"
In the Phantom God Cult, the only assets that can be called are experimental materials, Zerg, mechas, Huo Chao and Bai Min. Cult members, even archbishops, are not worthy of being called precious assets.
As the king of the Zerg, Huo Xianfeng belongs to the SSS level.
So it is obvious that the Son of God, whose status is second only to the Pope, naturally has stigmata in his body fed with the nerve fluid of the King Worm. But so many people have stigmata fed with the nerve fluid of the Zerg, why is it that only Huo Chao's appearance is approaching Huo Xianfeng
Now that the king insect is lost, whose neural fluid was used to feed the stigmata of Huo Chao's clone
"… Headache."
Cecilia scratched her hair.
This involves professional fields again, which she does not understand at all. And it is obvious that Bernard will not tell her. As for He Zhun, although the little fox is smart, he is not smart enough to get in touch with such core things. If He Qichu is not dead, he may know.
Of course, most importantly, Cecilia didn't believe He Zhun.
"Ah... It's so difficult..."
Cecilia fell back onto the carpet.
But no matter whether she can guess the secret or not, it is obvious that the clone of Huo Chao will soon walk out of the laboratory and become the most powerful weapon to shake Pei Changyun's imperial authority. It's just unknown what impact it will have on Huo Xianfeng.
After all, Cecilia had seen the monster's fighting power. She felt that even the real Huo Chao might not be able to defeat Huo Xianfeng, let alone a clone.
But at the moment she couldn't think of any other possibilities.
—Probably only the Pope and Bernard know.
Cecilia lay there for a while, then grabbed a photo and looked at it. She found that it was a candid photo of Huo Chao and Pei Changyun.
The Archon stood beside the mecha, his arms folded across his chest, his face gloomy, while the Marshal squatted beside him with his head in his hands, his face full of pain.
Cecilia knew very well why this scene appeared.
Few people in the world know that the Emperor has only two shortcomings in his life. The first is his low martial arts value, and the second is his low level of mental strength. He cannot achieve empathetic control through the neural chain, so he can only do it manually.
But unfortunately, even if it was manual, Pei Changyun's mecha control skills were still terrible.
Moreover, it was such a mess that even the Marshal couldn't teach him, and he could only collapse in the end.
Cecilia stared at the photo for a long time, then suddenly reached out and tapped Pei Changyun, whose face was gloomy and ashamed, and said meaningfully,
"Well, maybe soon... Mr. Archon, we will be able to meet."
At this time, Cheng Yue was surprised and couldn't help asking,
"Liya, isn't Pei Changyun the second person you hate?"
—The first is Jiang Jinsheng.
"Yeah, I hate him."
When Cecilia and Pei Changyun met for the first time, they had a big misunderstanding.
Pei Changyun thought Cecilia liked Huo Chao, and Cecilia thought Pei Changyun liked Bai Min.
So the Archon drove a B-class mecha to attack, but Cecilia could pin him to the ground and beat him with one hand because of his poor combat power.
But Huo Chao was there at the time. His Highness the Son of God, who could directly control the mecha without contact, cheated for his archon, which led to Cecilia being beaten.
Then, Cecilia, who was originally dressed beautifully, was seen by her beloved Saint in the ugliest and most embarrassed posture.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Jiang Jinsheng, whom Cecilia hates the most, is also there. Being seen in the most miserable state by the most hated enemy, wouldn't it be so maddening
Cheng Yue remembered very clearly that after this incident, Cecilia and Pei Changyun became enemies, so Cheng Yue didn't quite understand.
"Why does Leah still want to see him?"
"Because of Huo Chao's appearance, Pei Changyun must be restless. And the mecha control technology is so bad, I want to watch it again."
Cecilia folded the photo in half, folded the part that belonged to Huo Chao behind her, and said softly,
"But this time, no one will help him."
·
"help me-"
In the warship lounge, Jiang Ci sat in front of the workbench. He didn't even raise his head, but just passed the blueprint in his hand to the side.
"Huo Xianfeng, help me cut the Ede metal into this shape according to this drawing."
"…Servant King?"
Huo Xianfeng sat cross-legged on the bed and snorted softly.
"Jiang Ci, you are the first one."
"…?"
Jiang Ci was stunned, turned around, and realized that she was too involved just now and her tone seemed a little stiff.
"How is this an order?"
He quickly stood up from the workbench and tried to pull Huo Xianfeng's hand, but Ku Ge crossed his arms and refused to let him pull.
So Jiang Ci could only hold his tail, but even though the outer layer of the tip of Huo Xianfeng's tail had grown a defensive layer, Jiang Ci carefully avoided it.
"Obviously, there are too few tools here that can cut metal materials, and none of them can cut the hardest Edmetal. Of course, only the strongest, sharpest, and most powerful weapon in the world can do it."
Jiang Ci has started to say this kind of things more and more naturally recently, and he didn't notice that the number of times he asked Huo Xianfeng for help has gradually increased. He is no longer like before, wanting to do everything by himself.
"snort."
Huo Xianfeng glanced at him and laughed coolly.
"Jiang Ci, you are becoming more and more talkative now."
He is becoming more and more shameless, and the omega who used to refuse his help and would rather die in discomfort seems to have almost disappeared.
The major general pursed his lips and asked,
"Huo Xianfeng, just tell me whether you can help or not?"
"Humph, just a trivial matter."
Huo Xianfeng took the blueprint and the piece of metal at the same time. The core brain had been repaired, and now the academicians were cracking the theoretical part of the time-space shuttle device, and Jiang Ci's part of the task was to make an external machine model.
He looked at the drawing, stared at it carefully for a few seconds, studied the specific structure, raised his tail, extended a fine needle from the tip, and began to cut and carve according to the drawing.
Jiang Ci was watching from the side. The more he understood Huo Xianfeng's tail, the more he felt that this thing had many uses. Not only could it be used in fighting, but it could also do things that were so delicate that they were almost like surgical operations.
Sometimes, even Jiang Ci couldn't help but envy and wanted to grow one too.
"How is Pei Changyun doing?"
“… It’s not going well.”
Jiang Ci was slightly startled, and her expression suddenly became much more gloomy.
"Yesterday, an earthquake hit Sucheng in the southern part of Hengyun Star. It was quite serious. Uncle Changyun went there in person to offer condolences and direct disaster relief. This move immediately won back a lot of people's hearts. With his frank admission and the operation of the team behind him, the people gradually began to accept the fact that he was a beta."
But this is not a good start.
After the gender secret was revealed, everyone quickly realized that Beta had the ability to become pregnant, which meant that His Majesty the Emperor could mate with an Alpha.
"Things have taken a turn for the worst. It all started with an unknown YY article on the Starnet. The story was about an alpha heroine who was having sex with the emperor and made him... pregnant and have a child. The story was filthy and full of erotic fantasies from the perspective of a hentai alpha."
Jiang Ci hated this kind of thing very much, so when she talked about it, she almost gritted her teeth.
Huo Xianfeng looked up at Jiang Ci. He actually knew very well that these things were normal. As long as Pei Changyun's gender secret was exposed, this kind of thing would become a way for political opponents to attack him.
Since humans were divided into six genders, ABO, the poor physique and ability caused by gender genes have gradually allowed alphas to occupy the upper echelons of power. The omegas, who are troubled by the growth period, are said to be protected, but have gradually become tools for reproduction.
Therefore, gender discrimination has become more and more serious, and even to the point where gender and class determine fate. Although betas are not as much of a reproductive tool as omegas, their social status is also very low.
Therefore, it was incredible that Pei Changyun could sit on the throne of emperor in such a difficult environment. This was also the reason why Huo Xianfeng admired Pei Changyun.
Similarly, everything that is happening now is also the reason why Pei Changyun chose to establish the country as a dictatorial monarchy instead of a democratic system like the Alliance, because he needs to hold all power tightly in his own hands in case the secret is exposed one day.
If it were an alliance system, he would be quickly sidelined.
Huo Xianfeng was not surprised to hear these things, but just asked calmly,
"Then what."
Then the article was quickly reposted, and similar themes emerged one after another, and even some small workshops and black markets had puppet toys that looked like Pei Changyun. Of course, the moment these things were exposed, the Internet law enforcement department immediately carried out a rapid rectification and elimination. A large number of people were arrested that day, all related words were banned, and the entire Star Network was cleared out.
Jiang Ci closed her eyes and continued,
"I also helped to build a part of the safety net before, and fortunately the situation has been temporarily controlled now."
But after this kind of evil fantasy was barely curbed, something no one expected happened.
"It's just that this morning, while His Majesty was on his way to pay his respects, an alpha suddenly knelt in the street with flowers in his hand and passionately proposed to His Majesty. Although he couldn't get close to him, the wind blew the pollen. Fortunately, the amount was not large, and he only had some minor allergic reactions. Of course, that person has been arrested now."
Jiang Ci felt a little powerless
"It's just that he appeared in public and didn't make any threatening moves. Plus, it's a sensitive period now, so according to the current imperial laws, no specific punishment can be imposed."
Huo Xianfeng frowned and said "tsk" softly, then he handed the cut model to Jiang Ci.
"Give."
"So fast."
Jiang Ci took a look and found that it was exactly the same as the drawing. Although Huo Xianfeng had helped him do this more than once before, Jiang Ci still couldn't help but marvel at it.
He thought about it and suddenly asked,
"Huo Xianfeng, if you were Uncle Changyun, what would you do?"
"Humans have very complex emotions towards their leaders. They can love, feel nothing, or even hate them. They can even be easily incited by the words of others. But the Zerg will not do that. Their awe and love for the king is engraved in their genes. So things like Pei Changyun will not happen to the Zerg."
"If it were my way, of course I would kill all those who dared to challenge the emperor's majesty, leaving no one alive."
But then he shook his head.
"But I know that this method is not suitable. Because the social foundation is different, humans have their own way of ruling. Massacres are common in human history, but it is only a temporary solution and will not solve the root cause. It may even bring greater hidden dangers. Once Pei Changyun really opens the guillotine, his political opponents will have a reason to launch a reaction."
Public opinion and whether one occupies the moral high ground are sometimes more terrifying in human society than powerful military force.
Even against the emperor.
As an ally, Huo Xianfeng could at most help the other party when they needed combat support, but given his sensitive identity as a Zerg, he was afraid that even this help might cause problems.
"So Pei Changyun has to handle this matter himself."
Having said that, Huo Xianfeng couldn't help but frown.
"That guy Huo Chao really left Pei Changyun a mess."
Jiang Ci didn't understand: "Why didn't Marshal Huo Chao leave a video? He could have explained to everyone that the Zerg were not the enemy, and Uncle Changyun didn't steal his power and step on him to get to the top."
It is obvious that Pei Changyun also sacrificed almost everything for the future and continuation of mankind.
"—Because Huo Chao is dead."
Huo Xianfeng looked very cold.
"Because everyone saw that Huo Chao and the Zerg perished together, and the Zerg's identity as invaders cannot be erased."
What's more, at that time Huo Xianfeng really wanted to massacre and exterminate humans, so he didn't care whether it was explained or not.
"And if Huo Chao designates Pei Changyun as his successor, then Emperor Pei Changyun will always be overshadowed by Huo Chao, and all his achievements will be said to be given by Huo Chao."
But if nothing was left behind, perhaps in the eyes of a very few people Pei Changyun stepped on Huo Chao to rise to power, but in the eyes of the vast majority of desperate humans at that time, after Huo Chao's death, it was Pei Changyun who turned the tide and saved the collapsing empire.
Jiang Ci immediately understood what he meant, and even thought of a deeper level.
"Is it possible? Marshal Huo Chao is dead, but the Illusionary God Cult is still there. He was born in the Illusionary God Cult and is controlled by the church. If Huo Chao designates Pei Changyun as his successor, then the Illusionary God Cult can use the fact that Huo Chao is the successor to control the latter."
Only if Huo Chao and Pei Changyun have no relationship at all on the surface, the church will have no handle to control Pei Changyun. Because from beginning to end, except for Huo Chao, Pei Changyun has no intersection with the church.
As for the Marshal and the Consul, they were just military positions. The Dawn Legion and the Alliance were gone, which meant they had no relationship at all. At most, there was only a bit of friendship.
But friendship will not be a handle.
Huo Xianfeng pondered for a moment and nodded.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Moreover, when Pei Changyun quickly began to gather all forces, even if the Illusionary God Cult exposed Huo Chao's identity as the Son of God, it would not be able to gain much benefit. Instead, it would pull Huo Chao off the altar."
He sneered.
"Because in the most dangerous time, the Phantom God Cult only cared about itself and ran away."
"… "
The topic tonight is very heavy, so let’s stop here.
The lights in the room dimmed a lot, but Jiang Ci was still working with the desk lamp on.
He was still young and could not catch up with the old academicians in theory, so he was only assigned some simple tasks. But even so, Jiang Ci still wanted to try to overcome the most difficult part.
Now, the gap in military strength between the Imperial Church and the other side is no longer an insurmountable chasm, but the space shuttle device is still the opponent's trump card.
So, everyone is working hard on this thing.
Huo Xianfeng lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. He calculated the time. In half a month, the larvae would pass the metamorphosis period, and he would be ready to start the army. By then, no matter what the Illusion God Cult was planning, he did not think that the other party could suppress him in terms of combat power.
Then, Wang Lian entered the Zerg's mental network, and looking at the light spots that were shining all over the sky like the Milky Way, he suddenly felt extremely at ease.
—Until he saw a familiar light.
The star that should have been lost in darkness three hundred years ago suddenly emitted an extremely dim light.
It belongs to Huo Dynasty.
It was because Huo Chao was injected with the king insect's neural fluid that he was connected to the Zerg's mental network in a one-way manner as a human being.
How... How could...
How can it be?!!
The next second after being shocked, Huo Xianfeng connected to the past without hesitation, just like he did three hundred years ago.
Then, he began to try to call his best friend who was supposed to be dead—
[… Huo Chao?]
