The emperor's palace is long, deep and towering, as if it were leaning against the back of a mountain, as if it were sitting on a mountain, dotted with green forests.
Marshal-class Battleship Honor slowly flew to the palace square and hovered over it. The entire palace square was covered with exquisite red carpets with gold edges. Hundreds of people on Earth who were qualified to meet He-El lined up here, and more than 80% of them were strangers.
Among the officials who have been promoted in the past 150 years, there are also officials from 150 years ago who have reached the end of their term and have stepped down to allow new officials to take over.
Unless it is particularly important, such as Willpower Corps Legion Commander Wade, there is no time limit for important positions such as Willpower Corps Wade. They will be replaced unless they make a major mistake or die. Other less important positions have the blood of the old and the new, allowing the energetic newcomers to show their talents.
Marshal-class Battleship Honor slowly descended from the sky of the palace to the ground, automatically stretching out the black and gold stairs. When He-El stepped onto the stairs, he appeared in the sight of the two hundred people below.
"See Your Majesty!" About 60% of the people, about 120 people, smiled, stroking their chests and bending down, and did not perform the half-kneeling salute that should be done when meeting the emperor.
There are one hundred and twenty people here, all of whom are from Three-Body Earth, and they are all new officials in power in the past 150 years. They have high chests, full of confidence, and energetic thoughts. We can call them Autonomous Faction.
The remaining 40%, about 80 people, solemnly bowed towards He-El to formally meet His Majesty the Emperor. Most of those who bowed formally were Kryptonian from New Krypton who came from DC World, mechanical bodies and magicians taught by Athena., as well as a small number of officials who were still in office a hundred years ago, such as the deputy Legion Commander Zhang Beihai of Willpower Corps, and the director Cheng Xin who was promoted in the past century and took charge of New Krypton in Three-Body Earth Liaison and Communications Bureau, and several people who have some impression of He-El.
"Get up." He-El glanced at the one hundred and twenty standing officials, passed by the eighty people who were half-kneeling, and couldn't help laughing. He stepped on the stairs extended by Honor and walked towards the palace. The black cloak behind him kept fluttering as he walked.
Behind him, two rows of two hundred people followed He-El quietly into the vast palace.
The administrative palace is vast and huge. One hundred and fifty years ago, He-El was regarded as a tyrant and built a throne inlaid with gold and jasper, high on the stairs.
Seeing He-El step up the stairs directly and sit on the emperor's seat that represents Three-Body Earth's supreme power of mankind. There were at least more than one hundred and twenty officials present. An inexplicable look flashed across their eyes, and a slight dissatisfaction arose in their hearts.
He-El sat on the imperial seat inlaid with gold and jasper, looking down, taking in the facial expressions and psychological activities of everyone below.
Zero shot out light from the surrounding walls, and his figure was ethereal, elegant, and with a bit of the feminine grace of a strong woman, appearing next to He-El.
"Has it been handled?" He-El asked after a moment.
"It's been taken care of, Your Majesty." Zero bowed slightly and made an elegant gift, replying with a quiet smile.
After hearing Zero's reply, He-El already knew that the real Zero body---God of Mechanics and Energy, had safely passed through the shuttle channel and transferred back to the space carrier. The person talking to him now was just the clone left by Zero.
He-El came over <The Three-Body Problem> just to see if the behind-the-scenes civilization that Zero thought was blocking the microscopic realm had emerged, and to start transferring all the truly useful things to the space carrier in the name of war.
Over the past 150 years, Zero has developed wildly and brutally, and the inferred technology has been enough to feed back to New Krypton in DC World, making New Krypton's strength rise to two levels again.
And this time, He-El also has a plan. If the behind-the-scenes civilization that blocks the microscopic realm appears, He-El will immediately shut down Traversal Vortex and abandon these instruments, technology and materials. When in the future he is enough to crush the universe with one hand, he will return to the <The Three-Body Problem> universe and crush these top civilizations of the <The Three-Body Problem> universe.
But now it seems that they didn't know whether they had guessed what they were thinking, were planning to capture themselves, or were planning to contact themselves, so they didn't come out immediately.
That's just right, He-El just pretends that he doesn't know about their existence and everyone continues to do their own thing.
Even if the civilization that has sealed off the microscopic realm at this moment has been observing the conversation between He-El and Zero, it will not understand what happened, nor will it know that Zero has successfully transferred back to the space mothership.
No matter how much you check, you will only find that Zero has collected the information of Autonomous Faction and is preparing to hand it over to He-El.
From a purely technological level, Zero is not their opponent, but for what they call Divine Infinite Particles, New Krypton studied Divine Infinite Particles's progress was aided by Athena, and they could not catch up in a short time. Zero was also able to leave the <The Three-Body Problem> universe quietly.
As for the bad things done by Three-Body Earth people, He-El did not expect it.
Aren't you afraid of death for being so rebellious?
He-El thought that only in the book could humans as a whole be so stupid. He thought that Trisolarans was not a threat and chose Cheng Xin to be the sword bearer. Now in front of him, he also showed his arrogant and stupid side. He-El really didn't expect it.
You Three-Body Earth people really have the ability to destroy yourself.
"Your Majesty, why did you come here this time?" A Three-Body Earth chief was mainly responsible for arranging the distribution of management materials to various Planetary Materials Management Bureau directors. The Leon director, who seemed to be about twenty-five years old and had an upright and upright face, asked aloud after seeing He-El being silent after the conversation with Zero.
As people of Autonomous Faction, they are completely unwilling to admit that He-El is the emperor, the existence above their heads who can do whatever they want. However, some relatively senior people are still in various real power departments and firmly believe that He-El is the emperor. Therefore, they are slightly passive and can only continue to admit that Three-Body Earth has an emperor.
But as they had never seen He-El, and they managed Three-Body Earth very well without an emperor, and with the increasing number of new officials who had no regard for the emperor at all, Autonomous Faction grew stronger and stronger, and until now, it is the most powerful faction in Solar System.
If the emperor did not appear, of course they could only discuss it privately and discuss the suggestion of depriving the emperor of the throne, which was agreed by everyone, but was never implemented.
But now that the emperor has appeared, Autonomous Faction has begun to vaguely feel that it is time to force the emperor into the palace.
The earth does not need an emperor.
"I'm here to give the order to prepare for war."
