Looking at Rollwright, who was pointing a gun at him with a smile on his face but his eyes were full of anger, Fang Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

As if completely ignoring Rollwright's threat, Fang Li not only did not tone down his tone, but instead became sarcastic, saying, "As expected of an expert who once belonged to the research team, even with a military rank, you are still essentially a scientist. You can't even stand others making sarcastic remarks about your research results. No wonder you couldn't help but eliminate us all to keep this secret."

"That's why I said you don't understand anything," Rollwright sneered. "Ever since it separated from Aphrodite, Eros has no longer been a part of Aphrodite, but a separate entity. The evidence is that even without its core, it still exists and has not decomposed into Oracle Cell and evaporated."

It is no secret that the Oracle Cell that make up the Aragami will evaporate and dissipate after a period of time without a core.

Although the rate of evaporation and dissipation varies from person to person due to individual differences, the fact that it still exists after a full 10 years means that it can indeed be considered an individual entity.

"However, this individual has no consciousness, no thought; at most, it's a half-life form." Fang Li looked directly at Rollwright and said, "But, isn't this actually a good thing for you?"

By now, Fang Li had figured out exactly what Rollwright's research on Eros was for.

Because of hormones.

"Since it was once part of Aphrodite, then 'α' can naturally also emit hormones that attract and manipulate Aragami. The Aragami Landmine you used to frame me was injected with this hormone."

However, no matter what, Eros is just a pair of severed arms. It has no consciousness, cannot think, cannot release hormones on its own, and cannot manipulate the Aragami in a purposeful way.

"That's why, after obtaining 'α,' you began researching and searching for ways to use 'α,' hoping to achieve your goals by controlling the Aragami manipulated by the Lord."

The report on Eros Project included a sentence like this.

"In order to make 'α' a complete means for humanity to conquer the Aragami, the Russian Branch established a research team, led by Rollwright -Einz-Doross, to study, debug, and control 'α'."

This statement already tells others what the so-called "α" does.

If Rollwright successfully discovers a way to control "α", then, by using "α's" ability, which is the same as Aphrodite's, humanity will be able to achieve its goal of conquering the Aragami.

"Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Eros Project is to restore humanity's supremacy over all things and to restore the peace of the past, rather than to completely eliminate the threat of the Aragami."

If the Aragami, who caused half of human civilization to collapse, became humankind's pet, wouldn't that prove the saying "above all things"?

"I must say, you scientists are all crazy, you can come up with anything." Fang Li glanced at Rollwright and chuckled, "However, I also understand why you would go to such lengths to get rid of us."

The mine-laying mission failed?

The mission to defeat Aphrodite has failed?

The failure of each mission ultimately led to the complete invasion of the Russian Branch by the Aragami army, resulting in the destruction of the Russian Branch.

Rollwright wasn't worried about any of that.

Because if they can use "α" freely, the Russian Branch can turn the tables and control the Aragami army, silently dismantling this threat.

That's why Rollwright wasn't worried about the threat from the Aragami at all; instead, she targeted Fang Li and his group at every turn.

For Rollwright, the Aragami were not the threat; the so-called support from the Far East Branch was the real threat.

For this reason, Rollwright did not hesitate to sacrifice combat missions. Now that the threat from the Far East Branch had been eliminated at this time when the army of Aragami was attacking, he simply stopped fighting altogether and did not send out a single God Eater, letting the Aragami attack.

"But even if you can manipulate the army of Aragami through 'α,' can you use it to manipulate Aphrodite?" Fang Li said mercilessly, "As a former part of Aphrodite, and an Aragami with the same abilities, that one-armed being simply couldn't control Aphrodite, could he?"

Let alone Aphrodite, even Eros, who is Forbidden Kind like Aphrodite, probably couldn't control her.

Otherwise, Aphrodite wouldn't be one of the most terrifying aragami on Earth, but would truly be the most terrifying aragami on Earth.

"A son cannot manipulate his mother." Fang Li shrugged, his gaze toward Rollwright becoming intriguing, and said, "Therefore, the idea of manipulating the Aragami to make humanity return to the top of the food chain on Earth is simply wishful thinking."

As long as those Forbidden Kind of wild gods still exist, humanity's crisis is not over.

After all, if all the Forbidden Kind Ara-gods were to begin their rampage, humanity would be destroyed ten times over by these Ara-gods alone.

Since Eros was unable to manipulate the Forbidden Kind, the Aragami, the plan was ultimately just an unrealistic endeavor.

That's exactly what Fang Li wanted to express.

However, Rollwright laughed once again.

This time, Rollwright's smile contained no anger, only contempt and mockery.

"You call yourself a soldier? Don't you know that to end a war, only one side can win?"

Rollwright's expression darkened, and he said with a smile, "Indeed, perhaps Eros's abilities are insufficient to control the Forbidden Kind of Aragami, but as long as we can control countless Aragami, we can use them as an army to subdue those Forbidden Kind. I believe that in the face of an endless army of Aragami, even the Forbidden Kind of Aragami will be annihilated."

"So that's how it is. You plan to manipulate the army of Aragami outside and use them to deal with Aphrodite?" Fang Li said leisurely. "But Aphrodite also possesses the same ability. With just those two severed arms, do you think you can successfully wrest control from that Forbidden Kind Aragami?"

"That's something I need to consider, not you." The smile on Rollwright's face vanished.

"You just need to die here."

After saying that, Rollwright pulled the trigger.
