Chapter 6 Final Stage
"In the last stellar cycle, I destroyed a planet." Tianyi said in a muffled voice, wearing a robot mask: "This stellar cycle is very quiet. I hate silence. I was born to destroy everything. Killing and ruthless destruction are the proof of my life in this world. Whenever I have nothing to do, I feel... bored and wasted."
Yue Yao sat next to Tianyi and couldn't stand it anymore. He stretched out his hand and took off his mask: "This is not Cybertron, nor is you a Six-faced Beast."
At this moment, they were sitting in the submarine's conference room, waiting for the other members of the Counter Cross to arrive.
Gambling Snake, Spitton, Accountant, Magic Doctor, Fengyuan and Darkshui are all sitting at the conference table, these guys are relatively punctual. And those guys who know the time but don’t arrive on time may not be because they are busy. Some of them simply don’t want to wait for others, so they have developed the habit of letting 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 while bored.
"Of course it comes from my Decepticon allies..." Tianyi began to talk nonsense seriously.
Yue Yao interrupted directly: "I bought it for him."
Fenghuang asked, "Why should I buy this?"
"Christmas gift." Yue Yao replied.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the table changed slightly.
"Don't think I wanted to give it to me." Yue Yao knew they had misunderstood, so he explained. "I just lost the bet. I originally wanted to send one to everyone in the ship to cover it up, but then I thought that it might be better to cover it up."
"You are getting darker and darker now," Tianyi said.
She snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. Do you want me to explain that my godmother gave her godson a gift?"
"Haha... Forget it, let's say that that matter is a secret, I won't continue this topic." Tianyi said with a smile.
In fact, the focus of the matter was not on 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 to give that day was not the key, the key was that she dressed up as Santa Claus and wearing a short skirt. This was the content of the bet. After this time, she had not made bets with Tian repeatedly for many years.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the consultant, Blood Owl, Shen Key, Marshal, Yan Kong came to the conference room one after another. The warlock, Zuo Dao, Gunsmith and Wei Sheng were the last ones to arrive.
"Okay, since everyone is here..." Tianyi spoke very relaxed, and his usual listless expression was still on his face. It made people feel that this was just a simple regular meeting. In order to coordinate the work progress of the resurrected Blood Owl and others, "I just said straight to the point. The next action of the organization... participants are likely to go away forever. If anyone wants to withdraw from the organization, please submit it before the end of today's meeting and I will approve it all."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." Zuo Dao, who said five times in a row, looked at Tianyi and said, "Is this another test right?" His face was full of doubts: "You tried every means to get the people in this room on the pirate ship, and now you will tell us again, you can withdraw with just one sentence?"
"Well..." Tianyi pretended to be thinking, and then said, "Yes."
"Ha!" Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Who believes it?"
Obviously, many people here didn't believe it. Spitton said, "I'm very curious. What if all of us quit?"
"I will not keep anyone except Blood Owl and Shen Key." Tianyi sat upright and said, "Of course, I know that both of them and Dark Water will not withdraw."
"In other words, the rest of us have lost our value, right?" Yue Yao still dared to say the ugly words.
"That's not." Tianyi replied: "If no one quits, it's naturally the best. However, the current situation is different from when the organization was just established. The mission of the Anti-Cross is coming to an end, and in the final stage of the next stage, sacrifice may be inevitable. As I said when I first invited you. Although you call me the boss, I am not a leader. The Anti-Crosss is not an organization with superior and subordinate relationships. You are just partners who cooperate with me.
So far, I have worked very happily with you, so at this moment I let you choose whether to leave or stay."
Tianyi said this and turned his face to the left and said, "Left Tao, how about taking a head?"
"I won't express my opinion." Zuo Dao didn't make a first bird. It's impossible for him to stop doubting that this is a conspiracy: "And my failure to express my opinion does not mean what I'm thinking."
"Hahaha..." Tian Yixiao 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: "The things that the Reverse Cross should do in the next stage can be done to the minimum, relying on Tianyi, Blood Owl and Shen Key. And those things may not be within your understanding, and even conflict with the personal grievances of some of the people present."
"You mean... we may stand aside with the Empire?" asked the Marshal, and Yan Kong also turned his attention to the consultant.
"The empire, in a sense, has perished," replied the consultant.
"But why do I feel that the war is far from over?" said the marshal.
The consultant thought about it and said, "No, it will be over soon. Even if the six armies in the past are not considered, it is marked by the joint forces of Yanwu. The war of resistance has been fought for about a year, and it is still fighting now. Don't forget that World War II fought for six years, and World War I was fought for four years. In terms of the technological level at that time, its pace of war cannot be compared with today, let alone the world pattern at that time is much more complicated than our time.
Also, many of the changes caused by this war have become permanent. The empire can no longer incorporate the entire planet into its territory. Because people have witnessed resistance and change with their own eyes, they have ignited hope in the desperate era. No matter what the "future" becomes, they will not regain the "past".
The purpose of the Counter-Cross Cross is never to defeat this empire, to support a new one, or to replace it.
We are the promoters behind the times, accelerating the pace of change and guiding the direction of war.
In the near future, Clauze Witstoke will become the sixth emperor of the empire. He is a wise man. He knows that some things are irreversible. The world will be united for a long time, and the division will be united for a long time. War is like adrenaline, which resolves those long-accumulated contradictions and breaks order in the most direct way. But people cannot bear endless wars, and they will soon miss the taste of peace. Too much sacrifice and suffering can make people with firm beliefs question, let alone in this year when interests are paramount.
After their rapid expansion, the pace of major resistance organizations has obviously slowed down, which is a precursor to sitting down to negotiate conditions. The empire will make a compromise sooner or later, and it will not be too far away that day. As long as the new emperor has an order to push out the guys who should be tried to accept sanctions and calm down the public anger that has been almost vented, the war will basically be over.
Next, those resistance organizations will be unable to continue to hold up the banner of "resistance". They have to think of individual names to compete with others for territory, and then the nature of the war will change. Whoever becomes the first to be a leader will be given a handle and may be attacked by groups at that time.
That is to say, once the new emperor comes to power and makes up his mind to acknowledge the failure of the empire, this situation of separatist vassalism can be stopped immediately. The forces will enter an indefinite stalemate. According to my estimate, in the ten to twenty months after that, each organization will change its nature on its own and become a country, and the earth will once again enter a period of coexistence of multiple countries."
"So...it's all?" said the Marshal, looking at Tianyi: "So where will the Counter Cross go? What else do you have to do?"
"Troubleshoot those unstable factors." Tianyi said: "Send those guys who are going against the current in front of the tide of the times."
"You mean Cesare Bamond?" Stlanzer found out about his intention and asked directly.
"Yes, so I used a very simple plot to make a move in my hope at this moment." Tianyi said: "Go to the 'Gate of God'."
"Well... I won't talk about what the 'Gate of God' is." Zuo Dao asked, "Is it good for us to kill that guy?"
"No." Tianyi said: "So I said, you can quit."
Yue Yao knew Tianyi's secret. Listening to the consultant analyzing the direction of the war, she quickly understood Tianyi's meaning. She continued, "You don't understand." She paused and glanced at the guide beside her, "Tianyi didn't care about the people in this world, their lives, their feelings. In his opinion, at least most of human beings are ignorant, irrescueable, and all are guilty. What he cares about is that the next era must come as scheduled.
The existence of Cesare Bamond is an unstable factor. He may have taken the world into his hands like the first emperor of the empire. If such a thing happens, then this era will be like no change, just a ruler. In essence, the earth is still an emperor and a country, and is trapped in the same cycle of reincarnation."
