On the ruined Heartbreak Island, Charles stood beside 005 with Winky. He opened his single eye as wide as possible and looked at the woman in front of him who was wrapped in black bandages with an extremely shocked expression.
The words that the God of Light said at the beginning were explained at this moment. He, who originally wanted to take his believers away from the Earthsea and seek refuge in space, was deceived. The God of Light, who drilled into the hole, fell headfirst into 002 and ended up like that.
Charles swallowed hard and asked 005 in front of him, "Who deceived Him? Was it you?"
But 005 immediately rejected Charles's guess. "No, as I said before, I am a spectator and I don't interfere. Think about it, who are the people who are doing everything they can to protect humanity?"
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where SITE6 once existed. The people who could do this were most likely those lunatics in the Foundation.
"Foundation? Can they deceive the God of Light?"
The corners of 005's mouth, which was covered in black bandages, slightly lifted up, revealing a secret smile. "It's the Foundation, but not this batch, but the previous batch."
"The previous batch?" Charles was confused for a moment, "But the previous batch of GK Councils clearly merged into the God of Light!"
005 nodded slightly. "That's right. The first batch of Foundation personnel who arrived had no intention of leaving from the moment they arrived at the Earthsea from the surface."
As she raised her hand slightly, some black debris floated up from the sea, and finally formed several huge stone tablets in front of her. On the stone tablets were written some words, "This is the record of the second generation foundation for their predecessors. Take a look for yourself."
Charles seemed to have seen the appearance of the stone tablet before. The stone tablet that T6 used to record various mathematical formulas looked like this.
"My fellow countrymen, after fifteen years of research, I and the intelligence agencies have finally figured out what happened to the previous generation of the Foundation."
"They have been lying and deceiving everyone. They lied to the people below that as long as they worked for a certain number of years, they could retire and return to the surface. However, judging from the SITE4 execution point found in the center of the earth (see Appendix 1), this is a scam. All retired people will be ruthlessly killed."
Charles recalled the incinerator disguised as an airplane inside the foundation building he saw in the center of the earth, and the vast plain of gray ashes outside the building.
"As for the core decision-makers of the first generation, they used something to distort all the memories of Earthsea, including their own. I have a probability that this object is related to 1189-1. The scrapped hard drive found in the 104-431 sea area (see Appendix 2) proves that they had contact before."
"According to the information collected from the ruins of V9, they have a completely new history. They believe that the center of the earth is the surface of the earth, and that 002 inside is a god from the universe. It was he who completely destroyed the surface of the earth. They are the last hope of mankind, and they must find a way to defeat 002."
"However, according to the data obtained by Otter Reconnaissance (see Appendix 3), after they believed that it was impossible for humans to defeat 002 or even 003, they changed their goals. The previous generation of the Foundation decided to take the remaining humans away from this Earth that is no longer suitable for human survival and go to other planets to create a new home for humans."
"Based on the above analysis, I personally suggest that there is no need to execute the Pope of the God of Light, Ledger. His goal is doomed to fail. Even if the God of Light finally comes out, He will only go to the center of the earth, keep getting closer to 002, and eventually destroy himself."
"Do you remember how the scientific department discovered the Bose particles? It was a collision! The collision between the God of Light and 002 allowed us to collect first-hand information about the battle between the gods, which will be of greater help to us in analyzing the power of the gods."
"So. So it was the GK Council that formed the God of Light that deceived the God of Light?" Charles looked at the stone slab in front of him and came to an incredible truth.
"The God of Light may doubt others, but He will never doubt Himself. In the end, He was deceived by the seven people who made up Himself."
005 raised his right foot with a black bandage and stepped on the ground soaked by seawater. "The First Generation Foundation knows that human civilization on the surface is very fragile. They can't withstand any impact from things like the Earthsea. They can't let anything from the Earthsea reach the surface, including themselves."
"So they modified their memories to make themselves believe that the surface of the earth had been completely destroyed. Their mission was to rebuild the glory of mankind. In order to protect their compatriots on the surface, they were willing to deceive themselves, but it seems that they deceived too much.
005 did not continue to talk about what happened afterwards, but Charles, who had experienced it, did not need Him to explain. As the Second Generation Foundation had predicted, the God of Light fell headfirst into 002's arms and eventually died.
005 walked over slowly, gently stroking the black cat in his arms, and slowly circled around Charles.
"Two generations of the Foundation have tried their best to protect the seven billion people on the surface in their own way. Now it's your turn, Charles. What is your choice? Do you intend to put out the fire of the Foundation?"
Charles opened his mouth without hesitation, but was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to say.
After staring blankly for a long time, he raised his head and looked at 005 beside him, "Why are you so interested? What does this have to do with you?"
"Of course it is related. This is related to the bet between us. Do you remember what I said in the Foundation prison? As long as you can meet my requirements, I can grant you two wishes, two powerful wishes with a price."
As 005 touched the black cat's head, the cat opened its mouth and spit out two white balls the size of ping-pong balls suspended in front of him.
"Two wishes. As long as you tell me, I can help you realize them as long as I can. For example, I can make you stronger than the previous foundation. For example, I can send you back to your original world."
Return to the old world? Return to that simple time? Charles clenched his hands tightly without realizing it, but the sparkling little hands in his palms made him loosen his grip.
Charles did not answer 005's words, but instead carefully observed the completely different god in front of him. "What is your purpose in doing this?"
