V2/Chapter 74: Do you understand the temptation of a perfect save?
In the Light Star Experimental Base, Laboratory No. 3.
Ai Yue took off his strange-looking helmet and winked at Mobius who was sitting next to him: "How is it? Is it fun?"
At this moment, Mobius still looked as if she had not come to her senses. She was wearing the same strangely shaped helmet, which looked a bit funny.
"What was that just now... the control of space?"
After a moment, Mobius finally came back to her senses. She took off the helmet, held it in her arms and stroked it repeatedly, as if she wanted to take it apart to find out what was going on. "But how did you do that?"
She couldn't help but turn her gaze to the front of her. Less than a meter away from her, there were two huge devices that looked like hibernation chambers. Through the glass cover of the hibernation chamber, she could see a man and a woman lying inside. The helmets in Ai Yue and Mobius' hands were connected to the hibernation chamber.
And just now, she and Ai Yue used this device to enter the Domination Domain as the Herrschers of Domination, and completed a double act, successfully diverting the Herrschers of Domination's thinking and thus choosing the strategy of a surprise attack on Australia.
But even though she had experienced this feeling herself, Mobius still found it a little hard to believe.
Although she always thought that she had imagined Ai Yue to be very outrageous, she would not be surprised even if he said that he had figured out the power of the Herrscher of Domination in one day, but wasn't it a bit too much to directly hack their account?
"It's a signal conversion mechanism, but it's a little hard to explain. You can figure it out on your own."
Ai Yue waved his hand and said, "Someone else will be responsible for the specific follow-up intelligence tracking, but before that, we need to prepare for the war."
"Will they really choose to kill you?"
Mobius couldn't help but frown. "Why do I feel that the Herrscher of Domination is not that easy to fool?"
"It is indeed unlikely that there are no smart people among the Herrschers of Domination. However, in an environment where the minority obeys the majority unless that small number of people can come up with a strong reason to stop this plan, even if they realize that it is wrong, they will not be able to change it."
Ai Yue smiled and said, "What's more, this is an open conspiracy."
Mobius didn't say anything, just looked at Ai Yue, waiting for his next words.
"Simply put, the Herrscher of Domination has no choice."
Ai Yue continued to explain, "Domination is indeed powerful, allowing them to communicate and cooperate beyond physical distance, but now that their identities have been completely exposed, even if they have more intelligence, they can't solve the gun pointed at their heads."
"So they can only choose to fight to the death?"
Mobius understood what Ai Yue meant. "Even if the Herrschers of Domination fight on their own, they can still cause great damage by self-destructing. There is no need to kill you, right?"
"That's the theory, but it's clear that after losing the advantage of hiding in the dark, even if the Herrscher of Domination explodes directly, the damage it can cause is not enough to shake human civilization."
Ai Yue shook his head. "Obviously, the Herrschers of Domination still want to destroy the entire human civilization. Only by gathering together can they have this opportunity."
Mobius had never read the script, so she didn't know how much damage the Tenth Herrscher in the original plot, that is, the Thousand version of the Herrscher of Domination, had caused to human society.
In the original plot, the Ninth Herrscher eliminated one-sixth of the world's population, while the Tenth Herrscher destroyed 85% of the world's cities. It can be said that the results were remarkable.
(TL: Wait really? I thought that the Herrscher of Binding was the one who destroyed 85% of the world's cities)
However, such a result is obviously impossible for the Herrscher of Domination to achieve by relying on their own power. Referring to the nuclear bomb that attacked Ai Yue before, it was obviously also utilizing various resources from when he was originally a human being.
In this case, when Prometheus pulled them out from ordinary people, it was destined that these people would never be able to use these resources again.
Just like George Foley, if his plan was successfully launched, even if Ai Yue relied on Prometheus to forcibly minimize the impact of the matter, it would still bring about some unnecessary trouble. So when Ai Yue realized that George Foley had taken action, he was immediately put on the death list.
And those Herrschers who are also in high positions will also meet the same fate.
In this way, the only thing the Herrscher of Domination can rely on is their own strength, but it is obviously very difficult to shake the foundation of human civilization with this ability alone.
Moreover, under Ai Yue's arrangement, there will be more than ten monitoring teams watching each Herrscher of Domination day and night to ensure that any unusual movement on their part can be detected at the first moment and the appropriate handling method can be chosen according to the situation.
"Why give them this opportunity?"
Although Mobius didn't know Ai Yue's worries, he was also very clear about the risks of this matter. "If they gather together, it will cause a greater disaster. So the best way is to deal with them directly while they are still scattered, right?"
"But that would cost a lot of lives."
Ai Yue said seriously, "If we can take this opportunity to lure the Herrschers to Australia to destroy them, we can reduce the number of victims to the limit."
Australia is a wasteland. There are no humans or civilizations here, only countless Honkai beasts. Although this would seem to give the Herrscher an advantage here, Ai Yue is not worried about it.
Because he is not fighting alone.
"You…"
Mobius looked at him with a subtle look, as if she was a little angry, but also as if she had expected such an answer. "Have I ever told you that you are really arrogant?"
"It seems not, you actually said bad things behind my back?"
Ai Yue was a little confused. "How can I be arrogant when I am such a gentle and easy-going person?"
"It's because of this lack of self-awareness that I call you arrogant."
Mobius sighed, "This is a war of life and death between humans and Honkai, sacrifice is inevitable, but you always act like you want to protect everyone, trying to save everyone... Please, you are not a god, you put so much pressure on yourself, I am really worried that you will collapse one day!"
"I'm not a god, but I could be."
Ai Yue said something strange, ignoring Mobius' words, "But you did remind me of one thing - sacrifice is indeed inevitable, but ordinary people also have the right to know why they will die."
"Once things here are over, we must make the truth about Honkai public."
