w.a.n.g Zheng’s appearance was merely a brief interlude, and he was simply doing what he wanted to do. But by doing this, he gained the admiration of more Earthlings. This super soldier was not just a G.o.d of war, but an actual person as well. This made him feel more real.
It was easy to help out when things were going smoothly. Moreover, w.a.n.g Zheng was a key figure in both the Solar System and t.i.ta, as well as being the key battle component. No matter what kind of praise you may use on him, it would not be an exaggeration. All of this pushed w.a.n.g Zheng’s influence to its peak.
It could be said that w.a.n.g Zheng had achieved Lear’s greatest desire, and perhaps this was something Lear would have dreamed of accomplis.h.i.+ng in his lifetime.
In the faraway Ma.n.a.lasuo, the victory against the Sirius Star helped solidify Lear’s position. He now had his own fleet. After dealing with Aslan, he had learned to never be too ambitious when negotiating with a country. Strength was true power, and once he had strength, what was his would be his. He had made a critical error when negotiating with Aina. If he had been more patient, his current situation might have been better.
Clearly, Lear was a forward-looking person. He saw everything w.a.n.g Zheng had done in the Solar System, and saw the strength he had demonstrated. This gave Lear complicated feelings, as whenever he felt that he had beaten w.a.n.g Zheng, he would find w.a.n.g Zheng ahead of him. This made Lear’s performance in Ma.n.a.lasuo dull in comparison to w.a.n.g Zheng’s.
Even though he was the third person to use Ren Yixuan’s game, it was Ren Yixuan’s game and not Lear’s game. The sight of w.a.n.g Zheng being admired and wors.h.i.+ped by the Solar System and the t.i.ta Star would not happen in Ma.n.a.lasuo, absolutely not. The publicity department would not exaggerate the effect Lear had, and they would promote people like Bolet, who was the commander-in-chief, or Jondi Lilick, who was a future leader. As for Lear, the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo were able to see talents and he was given a place to use his talents. Therefore, he should be thankful to Ma.n.a.lasuo instead, and not ask for so many things.
In the end, Lear was an outsider.
He might not even be considered human.
However, the overall atmosphere was nice, as the strength brought by Lear was what Ma.n.a.lasuo really needed. This included Sharjah. The people of Ma.n.a.lasuo were spying, and this new strength of humans had to be in the hands of the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo.
Lear was cooperative, which made the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo satisfied and gave him respect.
Lear, Sharjah, Luo Fei, and the rest were definitely cooperative. Failures had no value, and when there was success, they would receive hints from Lear to cooperate with the questioning by Ma.n.a.lasuo. The abilities of new humans was something the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo would never understand. This was a new species, and the thinking of humans was inflexible.
Lear knew that he had no retreat. Ma.n.a.lasuo was his last hope. After failing at Aslan, it was equivalent to betraying the Great Elder. Lear had to tightly grab onto Ma.n.a.lasuo as his backer. As for the remnants of the Saint, he was not worried about them, as his current growth was rapid and the birth of each new human warrior would provide him strength.
Sometimes, Lear would wonder what the home planet of Zerg would be like, what kind of strength would the queen Zerg have. His ability originated from the genes of the Zergs, so if he was unlucky, the queen Zerg might be stronger than him. Lear did not reject the Zergs, as he could control them. As a combination of both human and zerg, he was the most advanced being.
All he needed now was an opportunity, and his gut was telling him that his duel with w.a.n.g Zheng was coming soon. It would be on a stage where everyone would be watching. It would determine the fate of the galaxy, and only this kind of stage would be apt for him and w.a.n.g Zheng. He would eventually show to the whole galaxy who the ruler of the world was and who Earth’s pride was.
“Mo Ling, is there movement on Ma.n.a.lasuo’s side?” Lear asked.
As the representative of the females of the new humans, Mo Ling’s beauty was indescribable. The power of the charm she exuded was something men would not be able to resist. Wherever there were men, women would be able to enter with no issues. Mo Ling was in charge of foreign intelligence, as well as the strategist of the new humans’ fleet. Being responsible for foreign affairs, her ability to communicate was unrivaled.
Her cold appearance increased the desire of the people of Ma.n.a.lasuo to dominate her.
Mo Ling lightly nodded. “It has basically pa.s.sed, but they would like to see something better.”
A smile appeared on Lear’s face. When the actual results came out, there would be nothing left for Ma.n.a.lasuo. While the drain for Arbiter and Aslan might have been great, both had excellent war machines, and their recovery was astonis.h.i.+ng as well.
“Boss, I think we should increase our public relations. The target should not be Bolet, but those below him, so as to force him to fight.” Jay York smiled. “There are some rational people in Ma.n.a.lasuo. In actual fact, it is easier to deal with a country than one person. So long as we encourage the irrational to act, the rational will be the minority.”
Lear nodded. “You will be responsible for that. Mo, Jay York will be in charge of creating the opportunities and you will execute it.”
Jay York looked at Mo Ling, and his desire could be seen from his smile. He had tried new humans before, and from l.u.s.t, they were not bad.
Lear was planning to push Ma.n.a.lasuo into the main battlefield, and to stand on the side of Arbiter, for the empire’s expansion to surge. This war was started by Aslan, and as long as Aslan was defeated, his era would come.
Mutual destruction?
This would cause the strength of conservative countries like the Gemini Star to increase, and possibly stop the war. This was something he was trying to avoid, and he had to drag in more countries.
The current situation was nothing much!
Hidden Dragon Star.
The atmosphere was dead. Constantine’s plan had failed miserably, as a Heaven-rank warrior, he might have reached great heights, and felt that his plan was perfect, but plans were plans, and there were always changes.
Especially the split within the Saint. The disciples of the Saint were originally the backbones of various countries. However, due to the split between the Great Elder and the Second Elder, this made the various powers leave the Saint, becoming independent. With the current situation, Constantine was helpless. He had been exposed, and alone, even with earth-shattering abilities, what could he do?
Kill them one by one?
He could not do that. Even if he did, what was the point? What could he change?
If he did not want to become a cursed demon, he would have to achieve the ambition of unifying the Milky Way Alliance, but now it all seemed like a joke.
Aslan was now in a hopeless situation because of his grand plan. The Saint, which had hundreds of years of history, had collapsed. And him?
He could only stay on this desolate planet, unable to go back to his motherland, as Aslan no longer needed him.
Humans were able to change the will of everyone, and craziness would eventually die off.
However, Constantine realized this too late. It has to be said that Lear’s betrayal had woken him up. All along he believed that Lear would not betray him or Aslan, but this was utterly wrong. Lear was not afraid of them, and what could threaten him in the past could no longer threaten him now. While it may have seemed like there was no road for him to take, Lear had found his path. From the beginning, Lear was excellent at finding ways. He had underestimated Lear.
Go and kill Lear?
Not to mention the number of experts in Ma.n.a.lasuo, more importantly, what was the point in killing him?
That would only be a joke. The situation was out of his control. In the past, he thought that he was the player, and the rest were his p.a.w.ns. And now he was but a lowly p.a.w.n, a conceited p.a.w.n. Hence, he lost everything.
Prophecy?
He never believed in it, and used it only as a reference. He thought that his power could change fate and control it. This was the problem of those with power, especially since Constantine had too much of it. He thought that the Saint was his, and Aslan was his, but they were not.
w.a.n.g Zheng, Xie Yuxin, Lear, Ren Yixuan, Aina – the five of them would now decide the fate of the Milky Way Alliance, and it seemed like there was no point in going against fate.
The Thirteenth Elder remained silent. Perhaps he was the most anxious. However, the problem now was, how were they going to salvage the current situation?
His father!
