The silence in the office continued.
Both Artest and Reinhardt seemed to realize a problem at this moment, or in other words, a change.
This change was silent at first, and no one even felt that there was anything wrong. So this change continued and deepened. As the situation continued to change, some influences finally appeared in an extremely sudden way. The method appeared in front of the superiors like them, catching everyone off guard.
The world is constantly developing, and the dark world is constantly fighting.
Individual strength, elite, master, strong, top strong, to the guardian of a force, and then to the collective...
The world seems to have always been like this before.
That's why the five powerful men are extremely aloof.
That's why superpowers appear extremely terrifying in the dark world.
The former invincible realm, the peak invincible realm, represented the pinnacle of individual strength.
For example, Wang Tianzong, who was previously known as the Sword King, shocked the dark world for decades with his peak invincible strength.
But is this really the case
Wang Tianzong looks scary, but in fact, it is the Wang family of Beihai that shocks the entire dark world.
The resources controlled by the Beihai Wang family and Wang Tianzong’s terrifying personal strength complement each other, and they are powerful enough to dominate the dark world.
This is true for any top strong man.
This is how the intimidation of top experts comes from.
Li Tianlan's East Palace.
Wang Tianzong's Beihai Wang family.
Previously, Li Kuangtu’s Tiandu Purgatory.
And the Zhongzhou behind these...
Only with the support of a powerful collective and the power of countless resources can an individual's peak strength and influence be truly brought into full play.
A peak invincible master is alone, with no power or background, only himself...
Such a person doesn't have any weaknesses, but there's really nothing worth paying attention to.
After all, he is just one person, and no matter how powerful his influence is, it is limited and not worthy of overemphasis.
The collective needs to rely on the individual abilities of the individual.
Individuals also need collective resources to expand their impact.
This has been the rule of the entire world for countless years and is very stable.
That's why the term "dark world" appears, which means the power that is outside the rules. To put it bluntly, isn't it actually just unpopular and not mainstream
Even if you become a dynasty through hard work, don't you still need to find a strong person in the sun to work together to stabilize your position
The collective provides huge resources, but also suppresses and controls the direction of action of individuals, treating super masters as swords or shields in their own hands...
For decades, hundreds of years, it has been like this since the beginning of the dark world.
Because there are no exceptions, everyone takes this kind of thing for granted.
But can it really be taken for granted
The indescribable feeling in Reinhardt's heart originated from this.
He really takes it all for granted.
He has never considered at all, when the power of an individual continues to develop, reaches the peak, breaks through the peak, and has the ability to fight or even eliminate all collectives with its own strength, where will that individual be placed, and where should the collective be? How to handle yourself.
He hadn't thought about it.
What's even more outrageous is that before he even thought about this problem, an individual with this kind of power had already appeared.
Jiang Shangyu was the first.
With his own power and Li Tianlan's power, he broke through again and entered the sky.
The arrogant level has become what Jiang Shangyu himself calls a 'Ranger'.
His perception can cover the entire city. Wherever the perception covers, his sword energy and even himself are everywhere. He can kill anyone at will in this city, including Reinhardt and Artes. , even the Speaker...
This is already a strength that is superior to the collective.
It's just that Jiang Shangyu acted very cryptically.
And Qin Weibai...
It's the second one.
What she showed was more direct. Although she didn't know how she did it, the chaos she created was enough to illustrate the problem.
If she were in this city now, how should she be prepared
This couldn't even be done as a defense. Before the thought of defense even came up, maybe he and Ates had already started killing each other and completely gone crazy.
They have no means at all to restrain this power.
Under such circumstances, why do they still want to control Jiang Shangyu
Control... is it possible
Trying every possible means to control a person who controls his life and death...
How ridiculous is this idea
The most normal idea...
The other party The other party controls his own life and death at any time, shouldn’t he obey his will
Things have come to this point.
The truth had been slapped directly in the face by that woman.
What about control
Where does this arrogance come from
Personal power has developed to a whole new level, so shouldn’t the thinking that the collective is greater than the individual that they took for granted before change
If you don't change, you will die. There is nothing to say.
"us... "
Reinhardt finally spoke: "Should we talk to Jiang Shangyu?"
"Let's talk..."
Artes's voice was erratic: "What are you talking about?"
He shook his head vigorously, his tone a little confused: "Why did things develop to this extent?"
"This is beyond our control. Being at the top and wanting to make further breakthroughs is instinctive for their masters. Maybe... Jiang Shangyu himself didn't even realize this."
Reinhardt said softly.
Ates looked at him and tilted his head: "Is it still useful to talk about this now? Even if he didn't notice it himself, doesn't he still know what happened to Qin Weibai?"
"He already has the power to control our life and death, so why should he listen to us? We should listen to him. Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. This is the most normal idea."
His expression was extremely complicated, looking like he was crying and laughing at the same time: "We roped in Jiang Shangyu, spent a lot of resources, gave various benefits, and formed some kind of super power. In the end, we Is this like finding a big daddy for yourself?"
"..."
Reinhardt had nothing to say.
Although Artes' words don't sound good, the fact is that, with their extremely high status and background, they happily found a father for themselves...
Their original intention was to find a son.
Reinhardt felt bitter, but Reinhardt didn't say anything.
On the contrary, he had to try hard to keep smiling: "This is the current situation, isn't it
If it were just Jiang Shangyu, we would indeed have reasons to be unwilling, but Qin Weibai also showed up...
Personal power has developed to new heights, and maybe soon there will be a third, or even a fourth or more...
Jiang Shangyu is on our side. At least, he can truly protect our safety. "
Artest
Si remained silent.
He sat on the sofa a little tiredly, rubbing his forehead. After a while, he slowly said: "There will be many people who can't see this clearly."
Reinhardt felt awe-inspiring.
He felt that what Ates said was wrong...
The facts are right in front of us, and no one can see clearly. But what is certain is that in the face of such facts, there will be many people who will not accept it even if they see it clearly.
This is the instinctive arrogance developed over a long period of time when the collective overwhelms the individual.
You are awesome, you can beat me and you are invincible.
But there are many of us, so you have to listen to me.
This logic is ridiculous, but most people are following this logic, but only a relatively small number of people can truly realize that the premise for this logic to work is that there are many of us. No matter how awesome you are, you can't defeat us, so You have to listen to us...
If the other party really does everything by himself, why should he listen to you
How many people do you have
Qin Weibai's performance tonight will be an introduction.
Wait until Jiang Shangyu stabilized his strength.
Wait until more and more people stand at the same height as them...
When the collective dissatisfaction with the individual reaches its peak and is unable to subvert it, the world and all order will completely explode in the most tragic way.
When troubled times come, all demons dance wildly.
Many people will die.
Many, many, many people.
Reinhardt couldn't imagine whether the number was nine or ten figures. He only knew that if it continued like this...
Middle-earth, Star Kingdom, Continental Alliance, Snow Kingdom...
These nouns will disappear completely, and the order represented by these nouns will also be completely replaced.
Under such a situation, the future world will be dominated by the Eastern Imperial Palace, the Three Thousand Realms, and the Beihai Wang family and other forces with super personal power.
in other words...
The dark world will appear in front of everyone in the most obvious way.
And the light world that everyone is accustomed to now will become an attachment to this dark world...
for example...
Zhongzhou in the East Palace.
Or the Star Kingdom of the Three Thousand Realms.
To put it harshly, everything in Zhongzhou belongs to Qin Weibai.
Everything in Xingguo belongs to Jiang Shangyu.
How disruptive is this
And what kind of scene that kind of world would be like, as of now, no one can even imagine it.
But under circumstances that no one could imagine, that kind of world seems to have already arrived.
That red dress stood in the foggy city, stepping on the madness and chaos underfoot...
That scene was the official opening of a new world.
Reinhardt thought about the din in the conference room.
The extremely depressed mood was stuck in his chest, his eyes were red, and the unwillingness in his heart was gushing out like a volcano.
"Witch!!!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "That witch!!"
"You're not willing to give in, are you?"
Artes raised his head and looked at Reinhardt.
His voice was a little cold.
Reinhardt took a deep breath and looked at Artes.
"I'm not willing to accept it either."
Ates spoke softly, the corners of his mouth raised a little bit, and repeated: "I am not willing to do it either."
Reinhardt looked into Artes' eyes.
Those are a pair of extremely calm eyes.
But in the depths of those eyes, a light of incomparable violence and cruelty was flickering, with a strong sense of solemnity.
