"Is this true? You are using human sacrifices from the East Sea to gain power? Two million people died last night alone!!"
Anna showed a hint of dissatisfaction. "Charles, you are going too far. You are spying on me?"
"answer my question!!"
Anna admitted frankly, "Yes, that's right, I did sacrifice. You don't allow me to sacrifice Hope Island, so do you not allow me to sacrifice other humans too? Don't forget, they are all Futan believers."
Charles stood up unconsciously, and his voice rose involuntarily. "On Earthsea, the number of humans influenced by Ftan is always a minority. Most of them are ordinary people who were deceived and forced! Most of the people you sacrificed were coerced by Ftan! They are all ordinary living people!!"
"Oh, why are you so hypocritical? How come I didn't know when you, Charles, cared about others? Since you are unwilling to help, I have my own way."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, Charles took a few deep breaths and his tone gradually became lighter, "Do you still want to become a god? Becoming a god is more important than anything else?"
"That's right. In Earthsea, strength is everything. If you don't sacrifice others, others will sacrifice you."
Charles shook his head firmly. "You are wrong. Becoming a god in Earthsea does not mean being safer. Maybe it means being more dangerous. When we really get the power and knowledge of the gods from 005, it may be more painful than death. The risk is too great."
"I am not wrong, you are wrong. In fact, I have already touched part of the threshold."
Anna retorted. She gently lifted the photo in her hand, and the photo quickly wrinkled up and turned into a deformed monster that kept expanding and contracting.
Dead objects became living things in Anna's hands. Anna actually possessed an ability comparable to that of the God of Creation.
"Snap!" Charles crushed the deformed thing with one hand. He gritted his teeth and stared at the woman in front of him.
"Anna, stop. I beg you. If you continue like this, something bad will really happen. Think about the first generation of the foundation!"
"No, other things can be discussed, but not this. I don't want to be an ant that can be trampled on by others at will!" Anna said firmly.
Charles sat down dejectedly, "Anna, I didn't want to go this far with you."
"Hehe." Anna smiled, she supported her hands on the table and looked at the man in front of her. "What? Are you going to fight me? Sorry, I am only a little bit stronger than you now."
"The relationship between New Territory City and the Hope Island Underground Research Institute is indefinitely stagnant. I will take back your position as the governor of Hope Island and your command of the Hope Island Navy."
"I will personally take charge of the affairs of the East Sea. I will not allow you to sacrifice another person."
"Oh, I'm so scared~ Unfortunately, you don't have the final say now. I have already put obstacles in the key departments on the island. It won't be easy for you to change it." Anna showed a hint of pride on her face.
Charles raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The curtain next to him opened to reveal a camera. "What you just said has been broadcast live to the entire island, and my people have occupied all departments on the island."
Then three figures made of sand slowly walked out from the next room. They were Julio, the representative of the South Sea, Jenny, the representative of the West Sea, and Jax, the president of the Explorers Association.
"Charles, I've told you long ago that this kind of thing must be resolved in advance, but you still didn't believe it. What about now?" Julio said in a low voice.
The three men looked at Anna with vigilance. With the three of them as witnesses, it might not be so easy for Anna to occupy Hope Island now.
"You are actually wary of me?" Anna's voice trembled a little, and she took a step back in disbelief.
"Ever since I met you on that island, your desire for strength has always been so strong. Sometimes I wonder if this desire is due to your strong character or the instinct of your body."
"You bastard!! Who am I doing this for?! Am I doing this for myself?" Anna's body began to crack, and the huge tentacle monster tore through the entire room.
Charles quickly kicked away the carpet under his feet, revealing the prepared human-shaped inscription. The gun mount on the dock in the distance quickly turned and aimed the muzzle at the Governor's Palace in the center of the island.
Just as a fierce battle was about to begin, Shanshan appeared between the two. Tears slowly slid down her face, and she bit her lower lip and looked at the two people in front of her. "What are you doing... Do you have to do this?"
The tense atmosphere that had almost reached its peak froze in an instant. This was the first time Charles saw his daughter cry.
Anna's swollen body burning with green flames gradually shrank into the petite body. Charles, with a frown on his face, walked to Shanshan, hugged her gently, and patted her back comfortingly with one hand.
Anna walked over and looked at him with cold eyes. "Hehehe... Okay, it's better to talk it out. Since you don't want me to stay, I won't stay."
"We are monsters, we have no humanity, you can continue to be your people! Flash, let's go, do you really think I care about your island?"
After saying that, Anna turned around and prepared to leave. Shanshan wanted to break free, but was hugged tightly by Charles.
"What? You and him? When has this idiot ever cared about you? He even wanted to use you to exchange for benefits before!!"
Shanshan, who was hugged by Charles, quickly moved between the two. She looked around with a difficult expression and finally came to Anna's side.
"My dear daughter, this is my dear daughter." After Anna said that, she reached into her abdomen and pressed hard, and a wriggling tentacle was pulled out by her.
"Gao Zhiming! Look at this! This is all the fabricated memories between you and me!" Anna shook it at Charles, then threw it and stomped on it, staining the carpet red.
"I've really gone insane for so many years. Why should I spend so much time talking to a lunatic? Why should I always become a human to accommodate you?"
After saying that, Anna's body split open again, and her swollen and deformed body reappeared in the Governor's Mansion, with black scaly tentacles extending out through the window, and the waving tentacles completely destroyed the entire Governor's Mansion.
Anna then showed her true self and glanced at her daughter. "We don't need to hide, we are monsters."
Shanshan's body also split apart, and its tentacles that looked like a floating castle also appeared in front of everyone.
Anna hooked her daughter with the tentacles and rushed out in a blatant manner.
I hope everyone on the island looked at the extremely terrifying monster in the sky in horror.
At this time, Charles stared blankly at the monsters in the distance and did not stop until they entered the dark sea.
A few minutes later, the rest of the Narwhal crew rushed in, with James looking particularly excited. "Captain! We succeeded!! The biggest threat to Hope Island is gone!"
