Justice Always Prevails!
There is a kind of answer in the world that is more heartbreaking than refusing to forgive: indifference.
What you are so attached to is already a thing of the past for others. Even if they bring it up again in the future, they will just say it lightly, "I don't care."
The feeling at that moment was like pouring a bucket of cold water on a newly lit flame.
Lilith stared blankly at the dissipating mist, just watching.
Deep within the other Containment Zone, a man, blindfolded and bound hand and foot, was imprisoned like a mummy in a room.
At that moment, countless plants suddenly sprouted in the room.
The roots of these plants gradually spread throughout the room, eventually breaking open the iron rings binding the man and freeing him from the room.
The man's appearance was unremarkable; he was muscular and strong, but apart from that, he was just an ordinary human being, no matter how you looked at him.
But it is a real sequence.
He is 038, the Wolf King.
The Wolf King looked around; red mist filled the outside of the containment room.
He stepped out of the containment chamber and saw a solid human figure sitting in the red mist.
"Siens Delin, do you recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King's pupils darted around, but there was no one nearby, only a pile of intact clothes on the ground.
"The Red Mist Catastrophe has annihilated all flesh and blood. Are you the Red King?"
"What can I do for you?"
The figure in the red mist disappeared, and then the red mist changed, with two huge eyes appearing to be sunken in!
"In turbulent times, the strong contend for supremacy, while the weak, in order to protect themselves, must learn to assess the situation and choose the right path."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "The Wolf King requests to follow you, my lord, and serve you without hesitation!"
"A smart person."
Although Li Heng's words were brief, his meaning was clear: now, each of the fourth-tier monsters is a local overlord, and those below the fourth tier who want to survive must understand the situation and choose sides in time.
Along the way, Li Heng has had more than ten people actively seeking his help.
This is also related to Li Yuan.
Nine-Tailed Fox Headquarters.
All existing troops and personnel were recalled to headquarters, and a large-scale meeting was held.
First, inside the O5 Council, the Soul-Replaced Bai Ye sat in the chief seat, while the other council chairmen all bowed their heads.
A group of Hand of the Serpent members dressed in Nine-Tailed Fox uniforms aimed their guns at the council chairmen from behind, while the Soul-Replaced Bai Ye sat in his seat holding a can of yellow peaches.
For some reason, after taking over Bai Ye's body, he always had a strong craving for canned yellow peaches.
He clearly doesn't like canned food, but right now he really wants some.
"Is everyone here?"
A voice came from behind Bai Ye, and a black-robed man wearing a red angry-face mask leaned against Bai Ye's chair.
Everyone present recognized the man in black robes; he was Seth, the leader of the Hand of the Serpent.
Meng Qing's gaze swept over the council chairmen who all had their heads bowed. "Now that the various Containment Zone have spiraled out of control and the world is in chaos, I think everyone here bears some responsibility for how things have developed like this!"
"Then what should be done if those in power are incompetent?"
The Soul-Replaced Bai Ye chuckled faintly, "His position should be abolished, and he should be executed, to console the Nine-Tailed Fox members who died because of him."
Listening to the two of them singing in unison, none of the council speakers present spoke.
They're not stupid; they know exactly what's going on.
It is said that Bai Ye is not dead. Everyone is required to attend the headquarters meeting in their true forms. Given the magnitude of this matter, a face-to-face meeting is warranted.
But they never expected that the undefended headquarters had been captured by members of the Hand of the Serpent, and they never expected that Bai Ye would collude with the Hand of the Serpent!
As soon as they entered, they were confronted by members of the Hand of the Serpent, who were dressed in Nine-Tailed Fox uniforms, who held guns to their heads.
They summoned all the council speakers, not for any other reason than to get rid of them all at once.
So it doesn't matter what they say; if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason.
Bump!
At that moment, a council speaker slammed his fist on the table and stood up!
He pointed at the Soul-Replaced Bai Ye, then angrily rebuked, "Bai Ye, you colluded with the Dark Party and joined forces with non-humans to rebel against the Heavenly Gang and destroy the Nine-Tailed Fox's foundation in an instant. If Elder Qin were alive in heaven, he would not let you off..."
Bang!!
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet blew out of the barrel, blowing the man's head apart.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the council speaker collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, the Soul-Replaced Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't make it so bloody. Just do a little bit and drag them all down and jump around."
After saying that, the members of the Hand of the Serpent stepped forward, pinned down the council chairmen, and prepared to take them outside to be executed.
"Bai Ye!"
"You'll die a horrible death!!"
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. Just you wait, Bai Ye!!"
"Old Qin, I am ashamed to have failed your kindness in recognizing my talent!"
"Bai Ye, if I become a vengeful ghost after I die, I will drag you down to the underworld with me!!"
The meeting room was quiet.
Meng Qing turned over and sat down in a chair, and saw Yang Lin, with his bright blue eyes, walk out from the other side and sit down in a chair as well.
"There is more than one way to achieve peace than killing; there is also the option of receiving amnesty."
"That's what they say, but how can those people surrender willingly?"
"What if they have to lower their guard?"
"Military deterrence?"
"I once heard a saying that we used nuclear weapons to blow up the heavens and the earth, that we had mastered the power of the gods, and that the surging pillar of fire was like a second sun."
"Would the world be at peace if nuclear weapons were in the hands of one person?"
"Won't."
"What if it's in the hands of two people?"
"The same applies; conflict will erupt sooner or later."
"What if there are three people?"
"Mutual checks and balances create relative stability, but it is not absolute."
"Apart from Absolute Trait, nothing in the world is absolute or certain, so this is the answer."
With his bright blue eyes, Yang Lin spread his arms wide. "Justice will prevail, so this time, we stand on the side of justice."
"Everything we do is for humanity and for peace. We will protect the weak and fight against the strong, becoming a shield for the vulnerable."
"And our enemies are incredibly powerful; they are God-Demon. We must tell our people what a terrifying opponent we are facing, and that we should be filled with fear."
Yang Lin grinned as he spoke.
Meng Qing remained silent, but he knew that Li Yuan's plan was terrifying.
He is shifting his stance.
He labeled those fourth-tier monsters as destructive and evil, while he transformed himself into a savior and the guardian of humanity.
He protects humanity, he represents justice, and starting with the Nine-Tailed Fox, he brings all of humanity under his protection.
But as the saying goes, what shelters you from the wind and rain can also keep you from seeing the light of day.
If you live under his protection, you will be subject to his rule.
That's quite a clever scheme.
Yang Lin tilted his head and looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox's conference room. He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
He once saw a man in his dream who single-handedly restored a brief period of peace and tranquility to the world.
That person was Bai Ye.
