1901 At What Cost?
âEven if Iâm not a god, Iâm still the only one who can save the Dragon City civilization!â
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and emphasized each word, âHave you ever thought about the consequences of assassinating me?â
âDonât worry, it doesnât matter who goes missing. Earth or the Other World will continue to rotate!
âBesides, your so-called âsalvationâ is nothing more than suppressing the conflicts inside and outside Dragon City by force. Youâre in a hurry for quick success and instant benefits. Youâre merely delaying the problems with your unparalleled strength and pretending not to see them!
âThatâs right. On the surface, Dragon City has embarked on the fast track of development in the past ten or twenty years under your rule. Internal construction is in full swing, and external wars have also been won in succession. Everything is developing in the best direction.
âBut at what cost?
âInwardly, youâve eliminated dissidents and slaughtered wantonly. Not only have you killed almost all of the nine cultivation families, but youâve also raised your butcher knife without any mercy to your former comrades who didnât obey you. Do the math yourself. How many times have you used the excuse of âkilling the remnants of the Blood Allianceâ? How many people have been sent to trial for this crime? A thousand, ten thousand, or more? Were they really the remnants of the Blood Alliance?
âEven your close comrade-in-arms and loyal partner, Lu Siya, couldnât accept that you became so cruel and heartless in only twenty years. She parted ways with you!
âIn the entire Dragon City, who else sincerely believes in your ideals and is loyal to your rule without fearing your tyranny?
âTo the outside world, we seem to be on the verge of achieving the final victory in the war between the two worlds. However, as the battle line drags on, the battlefield is getting closer and closer to the Holy Light factionâs core. The enemyâs resistance is becoming increasingly intense, and our casualties are also growing increasingly severe, especially when it comes to the allies you treat as cannon fodder and place at the forefront. Theyâve all protested.
âAnd your countermeasure is still as simple and crude as ever. It can be summarized into one word: Kill!
âWhoever hinders your goal of âwinning the war at all costsâ will quickly die for no reason. This has happened repeatedly. Even if our allies are mostly brainless skeleton soldiers or ogres who dislike using their brains, theyâll realize that something is not right.
âAs a human, I donât care about the wellbeing of the ogres and skeleton soldiers.
âHowever, the Dragon City civilization is ultimately a foreign race from the other side of the cosmos. Our numbers are too few compared to the billions of Other World natives. Itâs too difficult to completely rule this planet thatâs filled with extraordinary power.
âIâm not looking down on the Chaos faction now. It appears to be an impregnable iron plate. But thatâs only because weâre still winning for the time being thanks to your invincible strength. Our enemies havenât been completely wiped out.
âAnd the war will end one day.
âYouâre not an immortal god. One day, youâll fall like Lei Zongchao, the Battle God of the past.
âNow that youâre still alive, it feels like weâll continue winning forever.
âBut think about it. What if we let the current war escalate until it goes completely out of control and you die? Who else can suppress the many conflicts inside and outside Dragon City and cause an earth-shattering explosion? When that happens, how will the Dragon City civilization survive on this planet thatâs full of enemies and allies who are filled with hatred toward us?
âHasnât history shown enough examples of âcountries rising and falling too suddenlyâ under the rule of âbrilliantâ tyrants?
âChildish! Shaoyu, I really didnât expect you to still be so childish after following me for so many years!â
Meng Chao could not help but laugh coldly. âThe competition between civilizations is like rowing a boat against the current. If you donât advance, youâll fall back! Since Dragon City came to this planet, we can only press forward and become the final and greatest victors! Do you think that the natives of the Other World are cautious and hostile toward the Dragon City civilization because of a tyrant like me? Youâre gravely mistaken! Our origin, appearance, and lifestyle are our original sins!
âAs such, all the living beings on this planet will become our enemies sooner or later!
âItâs precisely because Iâm aware of this that I have to think of a way to eradicate all the natives on this planet. At the very least, I will weaken their civilization so that they will never be able to challenge the Dragon City civilization. Theyâll be our cannon fodder and slaves forever! Whether itâs the Holy Light faction or the Chaos faction, itâs all the same!
âTo achieve this goal in my lifetime, is there any other way other than the simplest and most brutal method of killing?
âItâs a difficult situation.â
Gu Shaoyu remained silent for a long time before he slowly shook his head and said, âThis is an impossible mission. It will only continue to arouse the hostility of the Other Worldâs natives toward us, attract foreign disasters, and make us everyoneâs target.
âI donât know if youâve heard⊠no, I believe youâve heard, but our allies are secretly working together to kick you off the Chaos factionâs throne. Our allies canât stand your autocracy and tyranny anymore!â
âOf course, Iâve heard about it. Itâs nothing more than a trick that the treacherous âJackalâ Kanus is playing behind the scenes.â
The murderous intent in Meng Chaoâs eyes intensified. âI naturally have a way to deal with him.â
âI know that youâve always wanted to get rid of the demonic Doomsday Wolf, but heâs different from the other natives,â Gu Shaoyu said.
âIn terms of strength and wisdom, heâs second only to you in the Chaos faction. Heâs the number two figure. In terms of shrewdness and patience, heâs above you.
âIn terms of qualifications and military achievements, heâs on par with Lu Siya. Heâs your close comrade whoâs supported you for the past twenty years. Heâs your true right-hand man, at least on the surface.
âThe success rate of assassinating him is incredibly low.
âEven if you succeed, it will cause a great uproar. All our allies will look askance at us and be cold toward us. It will also increase their fear and hatred of a tyrant like you and the Dragon City civilization!â
