Chapter 1844 The Fate of the Royal Family
As the bizarre and dazzling visual spectacle once again enveloped everyone, the tactile sensation of solid ground beneath their feet brought them back to reality.
Are we back already?
Clovis touched the moss-covered ruins wall next to him in disbelief and exclaimed.
Although it was only a short half-day experience, it shattered Clovis's values, which had been ingrained over the past two decades.
"Yes, you're back. How was it, Brother Clovis? Did you feel your worldview crumble?"
Lelouch, standing nearby, sighed and looked at Clovis with amusement.
"Lelouch, you're probably just like me, aren't you? After witnessing such a...miracle, your worldview has probably been reshaped, hasn't it?"
"Same here. But I'm a little better off than you. After witnessing how complex and chaotic this world is, I'm not surprised by anything that happens."
Lelouch shrugged and gave a relaxed smile.
“You, Lelouch, you’ve always been the smartest one among us.”
Clovis paused for a moment, then raised his gaze and looked in a certain direction.
"Schneizel has probably convinced Cornelia. What do you think I should do next?"
Lelouch paused for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped Clovis, saying in an annoyed tone.
"What else can you do? Do you really think that Schneizel, after ascending to that position, will make you submit in the name of the 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire?"
Clovis feigned pain, then gave a wry smile.
"Isn't that right? Our father is nominally dead, and with the empire in dire need of a new emperor, perhaps only Schneizel has the absolute right to take that position."
Clovis paused, then added.
“Even our eldest brother, Audiseus v Britannia, cannot contend with him.”
"No. Schneizel will not ascend to the throne. Of course, that mediocre man will not ascend to the throne either."
Lelouch pondered for a moment, then a brilliant idea flashed through his mind.
"No. That mediocre man will ascend to the throne, but he won't stay there for long."
"what?"
Clovis was startled, and his mind raced.
Although his abilities were not as good as those of Lelouch and Schneizel, the two royal geniuses, he had developed a good sense of political thinking over the years under Emperor Charles and the infighting within the royal family.
"Our eldest brother will ascend the throne and assume responsibility for the empire's surrender and peace negotiations, until one morning..."
The two brothers exchanged glances and simultaneously gasped.
"To die for our cause! To wash away the empire's defeat with the emperor's blood!"
On the other side, CC, who had returned to reality from the world of C, glanced at his brother who was pondering Schneizel's next move, then turned around and gently tapped He Ming's mask.
With a crisp sound, He Ming raised his hand and grabbed CC's right hand.
"How about I give you a paintbrush?"
He Ming said helplessly.
"No. I'm just curious why you can wear that mask so securely?"
CC tightened her grip, but found that He Ming had no intention of continuing to hold her right hand. As she withdrew her right hand, she said...
"This mask is not an ordinary mask as people know it. CC. I'll show it to you another time."
He Ming tapped his pocket with his right hand, and the intelligent AI cube Adino, which was lying inside, immediately jumped onto He Ming's shoulder.
"Was it all recorded?"
"Recording complete. You can upload it anytime," the AI cube Adino replied.
"Okay, once we get back to the Garuda, immediately send what the aggregate avatar said to General Rebil."
"Understood, Master."
After giving his instructions, He Ming turned around and looked at the dilapidated gate to the ruins.
"What? You're reluctant to part with it?"
CC stood with her hands behind her back, looking at He Ming with a half-smile.
"No. It's just that I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to those turtles."
The information provided by that girl, the embodiment of the collective, was extremely important, so important that He Ming could almost predict the Ghost Faces' next move.
Factors of conflict.
After He Ming successively dealt with the Holy Britannian Empire and the Zanskar Empire, two pawns of the Ghostface Clan capable of stirring up the situation on Super Earth, the Ghostface Clan will inevitably take more drastic actions, injecting more conflict factors into this world.
Among them, there is only one force that is most likely to become a source of conflict and is most capable of plunging the Earth Federation, which currently suppresses everything and controls the super-Earth, into chaos.
"Hopefully, you can uphold the principle of prioritizing the Earth. Otherwise, this battle will escalate from internal divisions into a full-scale war involving punishment and participation."
In the world of C, the girl, an embodiment of the collective, looks at Marianna, who is imprisoned in this world.
Have you ever regretted it?
the girl asked.
Why regret it?
Mariana looked up at the black hole.
"You knew about Xia Lulu and my plan from the very beginning?"
"Yes. We have seen everything you have done."
The girl responded.
"Why not stop it? It will kill you."
Mariana paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
“We will not be killed. What you see is only us in this dimension. You cannot reach the dimension where we truly exist.”
The girl calmly stated a very cruel truth.
"In other words, all that Xia Lulu and I gave was to be nothing more than a slightly stronger ant, bouncing around in a predetermined fate, playing a self-righteous and laughable clown game?"
Mariana struggled to pull her face, but it looked extremely distorted.
"We do not deny that."
The girl knew what Mariana was thinking, but she had no intention of explaining.
"The world is so vast. No one, no being can guarantee that they have stepped off the stage and gained true freedom. And now, the only opportunity has arrived."
"What you and your Xia Lulu lack is simply a heart that can consider the thoughts of others."
"Shalulu has become a prisoner, and so have you."
"You will remain here forever, until this chaotic and ever-changing world is transcended, or until the day comes when you are buried in an abyss from which there is no hope of recovery."
"No!! No!! No!! You can't do this!! We're right! Xia Lulu and I are right!!!"
As the girl finished speaking, countless pebbles and streams of light rushed in, completely suppressing the cage where Mariana was located, all the way to the deepest part of the C world, that darkest, lightless place.
