"In the last stellar cycle, I destroyed a planet." Tianyi, wearing a robot mask, said angrily: "This stellar cycle is very quiet. I hate silence. I was born to destroy everything, killing and ruthless destruction. It’s proof that I live in this world. Whenever I have nothing to do, I feel... bored and my time is wasted.”
Moon Demon sat next to Tianyi, and couldn't stand it any longer. He reached out and took off his mask: "This is not Cybertron, and you are not a six-faced beast."
At this moment, they were sitting in the submarine's conference room, waiting for the other members of the Anti-Cross to arrive.
Gambling Snake, Spayton, Accountant, Demon Doctor, Feng Yan and Dark Water have all taken their seats at the conference table. These few are relatively punctual. As for those guys who knew the time but didn't arrive on time, it wasn't necessarily because they were busy. Some of them simply didn't want to wait for others, so they developed the habit of making others wait.
"Can you explain the origin of that mask? Could it be that the marshal made it for you to play with?" The accountant asked casually out of boredom.
"Of course it comes from my Decepticon allies..." Tianyi started to talk seriously.
Yue Yao interrupted directly: "I bought it for him."
Fengxuan asked: "Why do you want to buy this?"
"Christmas gift." Moon Demon replied.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone at the table changed slightly.
"Don't think that I sent it because I wanted to." Moon Demon knew that they had misunderstood, so he explained; "I just lost the bet. Originally, I wanted to give one to everyone on the ship to cover up, but then I thought I thought that might be a cover-up."
"You are getting darker and darker now." Tianyi said.
She snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want me to explain that you are a godmother giving gifts to your godson?"
"Haha... forget it, let's agree that that matter is a secret, so I won't continue this topic." Tianyi said with a smile.
In fact, the point of the matter is not the mask. Yue Yao's explanation was just to make everyone think that the gift itself was what Tianyi wanted, and they were indeed misled. In fact, what she gave her that day was not the key, the key was that she dressed up as Santa Claus. The kind that wears short skirts. This was the content of the bet. After this time, she did not bet with Tianyi again for many years.
Waited for about ten minutes. The advisor, Blood Owl, Shen Yao, Marshal, and Yan Kong came to the conference room one after another. Warlock, Zuo Dao, Gunsmith, and Wei Sheng were the last to arrive.
"Okay, now that everyone is here..." Tianyi spoke in a relaxed tone, with his usual listless look on his face. It makes people feel that this is just a simple regular meeting. In order to coordinate the work progress of the resurrected Blood Owl and others, "I will get straight to the point and say that the next action of the organization... the participants will probably never return. If Someone wants to leave the organization. Please bring it up before the end of today’s meeting and I will approve it all.”
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." Zuo Dao said five hey in a row and squinted at the sky: "This is another kind of test, right?" His face was full of doubts: "You are doing everything you can to get people in this room to come. He broke into a pirate ship, and now he comes to tell us that we can quit with just one sentence?"
"Well..." Tianyi pretended to be thinking, and then said: "Yes."
"Ha!" Zuo Dao laughed and said, "Who believes it?"
Obviously many people here didn't believe it. Spayton said: "I'm very curious, what would you do if all of us quit?"
"Except for the Blood Owl and the Divine Key, I will not retain anyone else." Tianyi sat up straight and said, "Of course. I know that neither of them nor Anshui will quit."
"In other words, the rest of us have lost our use value, right?" Yue Yao still dared to say ugly words.
"That's not true." Tianyi replied: "It would be best if no one quits. However, the current situation is different from when the organization was first established. The mission of the Anti-Cross is nearing its end, and in the next The final stage. Sacrifice may be inevitable. As I said when I first invited you. Although you call me boss, I am not a leader. The reverse cross is not an organization with a superior-subordinate relationship. You are just with me. Collaborative partners.
I've had a great time working with you so far, so now I'm letting you choose whether to stay or go. "
When Tianyi said this, he turned to Zuo and said, "Zuo Dao, how about taking the lead?"
"I won't take a stand." Zuo Dao doesn't want to make the first move. It's impossible for him to no longer suspect that this is a conspiracy: "And my not taking a stand doesn't mean what I'm thinking about."
"Hehehe..." Tianyi smiled and said, "Where are the others?"
The consultant spoke at this time: "To be honest, you don't have to doubt him." He explained to everyone: "What the Anti-Cross will do in the next stage, at least, depends on Tianyi, Xue Xiao and Shen Yao. It can be done. And those things may not be within the scope of your understanding, and may even conflict with the personal grudges of some of the people here."
"You mean... we might side with the empire?" Marshal asked, and Yan Kong also turned his attention to the advisor.
"The Empire, in a sense, is dead," the adviser replied.
"But why do I feel that the war is far from over?" the marshal said.
The consultant thought for a while and said: "No, it will be over soon. Even if we don't count the chaotic war between the six armies in the past, which was marked by the joint deployment of the Yanwu Alliance, the resistance war has been going on for about a year, and now It’s still being fought. Don’t forget, World War II was fought for six years from beginning to end, and World War I was fought for four years. In terms of the level of science and technology at the time, the pace of the war could not be compared with today’s, let alone the world structure at that time. Much more complex than in our time.
Also, many of the changes caused by this war have become permanent. The Empire could no longer bring the entire planet under its control. Because people have witnessed resistance and change, they have aroused hope in a desperate era, and no matter what the 'future' becomes, they will not go back to the 'past'.
The purpose of the reverse cross has never been to destroy this empire and build a new one or replace it.
We are the driving force behind the times, accelerating the pace of change and guiding the direction of the war.
In the near future, Krauser Wittstock will become the sixth emperor of the empire. He is a sensible man, and he knows that some things are irreversible. The world must be divided if it is united for a long time, and it must be united if it is divided for a long time. War is like adrenaline, resolving long-standing conflicts and breaking the order in the most direct way. But people cannot bear endless wars, and they will soon miss the taste of peace. Too many sacrifices and sufferings can make people with firm beliefs question them, let alone this age when interests are paramount.
After their rapid expansion, the pace of the major resistance organizations has obviously slowed down, which is a precursor to sitting down to negotiate terms. Sooner or later, the Empire will compromise. It is only a matter of time, and that day is not too far away. As long as the new emperor gives an order to push those who should be tried to accept sanctions and calm the public anger that has been vented, the war will basically be over.
Next, if those resistance organizations want to capture cities and territories, they will no longer be able to hold high the banner of 'resistance'. They will have to find some way to seize territory from others, and in that case, the nature of the war will change. Whoever takes the lead will be given a handle by others, and may be attacked by a group of people when the time comes.
In other words, once the new emperor comes to power and makes up his mind to admit the failure of the empire, this situation of separatism among the princes can be stopped immediately. The various forces will enter an indefinite stalemate stage. According to my estimation, within ten to twenty months after that, each organization will change its nature and become a country, and the earth will once again enter a period of multi-country coexistence. "
"So... it's over?" the marshal said. He looked at Tianyi: "So where will the reverse cross go next? What else do you have to do?"
"Deal with those unstable factors." Tian Yiyi said: "Send those who go against the tide of the times to return to the west."
"You mean Cesare Balmond?" Stranger saw his intention and asked directly.
"Yes, so I used a very simple conspiracy to force him to make the move I wanted at this moment." Tian Yi said: "Go to the 'Gate of God'."
"Well... let's not talk about what the 'Gate of God' is." Zuo Dao asked, "Will killing that guy do us any good?"
"No." Tian Yiyi said, "So I say, you can withdraw now."
Yue Yao knew Tian Yi's secret. Listening to the consultant's analysis of the direction of the war, she quickly understood what Tian Yi meant. She continued: "You don't understand." She paused and looked at the man next to her. The guide glanced at him and said, "Tianyi doesn't care about the people in this world at all, doesn't care about their lives, doesn't care about their feelings. In his view, at least most of the human beings are ignorant and irredeemable, and all of them are Guilty. What he cares about is that the next era must come as planned.
The existence of Cesare Balmond is a factor of instability. He may take the world into his hands like the first emperor of the empire. If that happens, then this era will not change, it will just change the ruler. In essence, the earth will still be one emperor and one country. Falling into the same cycle. "
Gambler spoke at this time, his expression was still cold, but his words showed that he was slightly excited: "Do you think you are higher than human beings?" He looked at Tianyi, his eyes full of confusion: "You think you have the right to decide The future of mankind?”
