Chapter 462 Yes, General
Chapter 462 ·Yes, General
General.
Why a general?
The person in front of him didn't speak, but this doubtful will echoed throughout the tower. The fire behind him was as blazing as a torch, and his eyes reflected the light bursting from deep within.
It's not a person - it's an exploding volcano, it's a boiling thunderstorm. It is a meteor falling from the sky, and its existence is equivalent to a new world.
This is not an illusion, this is an illusion emerging from the glow in his eyes. The newborn sun, moon and stars squirmed and rolled in the depths of that glow. Sometimes it appears as crimson thunder, sometimes it turns into a tree shape intertwined with gold. An unparalleled sense of presence and oppression hit us, and this was not even a clear expression of its own will.
Who would want to stand in front of a collapsing snow mountain? Who can face the thousands-meter-long waves that cover the sky without changing their expressions? Mortal attempts to understand natural phenomena are a manifestation of fallacy and folly. They should only know and only need to escape and fight.
But avalanches cannot speak, and neither can tsunamis.
The intellectual body demonstrates its special nature that is different from wild and stupid things by its own communicability. And controllable power is naturally no longer scary and scary.
So, he is human. A man sitting on a golden throne with a huge torch behind him. He tamed his power like a pack of wild horses. What is even more rare for him is that he has tamed his heart, so that even though he has a transcendent nature, he can still talk to visitors in a legitimate and stable manner.
so……
The visitors did not answer him directly. Because they know that the other party has the capacity to properly demonstrate his will. They were able to know each other's thoughts only because of the inadvertent tiny outflow of that huge will. But if it is a normal human being, it will definitely talk in a way that ordinary people can understand.
Even if his physical structure is no longer equivalent to that of a 'normal human being'. But the souls who have guarded this base for several years have always been like this.
then.
"Why General?" The man on the throne raised his eyes. After all, he used his vocal cords and vibrations. Rather than boiling light, fire, and thunder spoke the words between humans.
That huge presence disappeared.
The snow-capped mountains turned into hills, and the tsunami turned into water waves. The erupting volcano was extinguished, and the boiling thunderstorm clouds dispersed. Meteorite is just a unique and unique stone. And that huge unformed world seemed like an illusion that had never appeared from the beginning.
Only a strange man and a burning fire were left at the top of the tower, accompanied by several unique armors floating in the air. The shock and surge in the visitors' hearts were not forcibly erased by his extraordinary power. On the contrary, he waited for the visitors' recovery, responses and confusion.
Even though he already knew the answer the moment he opened his mouth.
‘Huh——’ Colonel Ren took a breath. She is a soul body, but she uses a living, human way to calm her inner turmoil. Because she is stronger, she adjusts faster, and as a woman, she is indeed in a relatively superior position when communicating.
She is the leader, and Staff Yang is the assistant. This has always been the case.
"Because strength and power are equivalent." She quickly went through the manuscript in her ectoplasm's brain, and then answered. "Before the disaster broke out, the world government once divided the levels of ghosts and souls. Ghosts have three different stages: 'devil', 'real devil', and 'devil king', and each stage has Possessing different qualities and powers.”
"The devil-level ghosts are similar to the common imps in movies. They can pass through walls, transform spirits into entities in one direction, and then cause damage to living people or objects. The more powerful individuals among them can release energy and create flames. Frost has the power to easily annihilate a team equipped with conventional anti-spiritual weapons."
"True demon-level ghosts possess something called an 'aura field'. It is driven by a single emotion and can effectively suppress the power of physical rules within a region. They can basically ignore conventional saturation firepower and eliminate All interference except extreme light and heat shocks such as nuclear bombs. And they can fight against a fully equipped synthetic battalion with multiple primary souls, or even a reinforced group."
"The devil-level ghosts often dominate a fantasy land, or a part of it. It can get almost unlimited support from it and create relatively weak true demon-level derivatives. Their aura field is more powerful and is always in a burning state. One control Armored divisions equipped with advanced equipment and various heavy anti-spiritual firepower will have a hard time defeating them. And if they are at home, even if they are led by top souls, they will hardly have more than half the chance of winning."
This seems to be some kind of irrelevant and even somewhat off-topic explanation. The men beside her couldn't help but want to interrupt.
It is obvious that women are military commanders. But life was not smooth, and the report and explanation might have been a distant experience that could only be experienced in a dream to her - if she could still dream as a soul.
But it is also an advantage, a straightforward, inarticulate, but serious performance. 'Breaking down the details' is clearly better than 'keeping the story short' in some situations. As it happened, her listeners had a considerable need for information.
So she took a breath - only humans need to breathe, not the soul body. But since it is a dialogue between humans, the more human elements it contains, the better.
The listener said nothing, and her deputy had not much to say. So, she continued to convey the information.
"Become a devil, a real devil, a devil. These are the grades between ghosts. The biggest difference between us souls and ghosts is that we gain sanity by getting rid of the sins after death. This prevents us from devouring the same kind of people like ghosts. To quickly increase our strength. But other than that, there is not much difference between us and ghosts."
"So, the three levels of ghosts correspond to the elementary, advanced, and top levels of soulers. And precisely because the differences are not big, the World Government allocated the same power to soulers after studying the ecology of ghosts. "
"Strength corresponds to power. Real devils and monsters can easily control a large number of ownerless ghosts. And the devil king can also mobilize them with ease, making them fight like the most elite army with high morale. Therefore, the souls can also They should have the same power - even if they are not good at using it, they must have it. Because this is a respect for their power, and the world government is therefore able to absorb the power of all the wild souls at that time."
"Junior souls, no matter how strong or weak they are, as long as they are willing to fight, are lieutenants. Regardless of whether they have this ability, they can command at least one platoon and at most one company of troops. And this military power can also be converted into administrative power, then It is equivalent to a village chief or township chief. And by analogy, the high-level soul person corresponds to the real demon and is also a school officer. From a battalion to a regiment, or a city or county, they can take over this power and be able to use it legitimately way to use it.”
"The combat power of the top souls is often greater than that of the demon kings who have left the fantasy land. Their number is rare... I don't know how many are left in the world now. And they can obtain the status of generals - brigades, divisions, entire legions . Provinces, or even small countries. As long as they make a decision, they can regulate it. And they are also members of the Joint Conference of World Governments. They are the force that only the Joint Conference itself and each other can restrict."
She finally finished her answer.
She knew her listeners had gained enough information as well. So she raised her head and looked at him without finishing her lines. Because she knows that having questions and answers is a serious conversation.
The man's fingertips tapped on the armrest of the throne.
"Strength corresponds to power, and power... naturally corresponds to responsibility." He suddenly showed a smile, and there was a slight nostalgia in his smile. "You remind me of a superhero movie. The idea is 'with great power comes great responsibility'."
That's a good sign, because the ghost isn't going to see Spider-Man. The man on the throne had not revealed his origins, and visitors to the base had no intention of mentioning it.
Because they know that the person in front of them has never been on the World Government's attention list. Before that grand expedition began, the Joint Conference swept the entire earth over and over several times. Apart from their expedition goals, there was no place where the power that could shake the situation of the war could be hidden.
"Because what we...the world government needs are not vigilantes or superheroes. We need warriors and commanders who can command warriors. We need to unite all the forces that can be united. And all the forces that can be united are worthy of obtaining the corresponding Respect, and reciprocate.”
This time it was Staff Officer Yang who spoke, and he expressed his thoughts in more concise words.
He would not say that when the World Government implemented this rule, it caused a bloody storm both internally and externally. The number of dead high-ranking officials from the old era and the wanton soul masters could even be called huge. However, in that storm, more souls were born on the battlefield, and in the end, the latest internal members of the liquidated World Government reached a unanimous position.
The souls have integrated into the system of the world government in this most intense, yet swift and messy way, and have become an important and indispensable part of its power - those who do not respect power will not be respected either. it. Power that comes from oneself and not from others should stay where it belongs.
He won't say it, but the other party already knows.
This was a quite reasonable exchange before the expedition, but now, a base with a population of only tens of thousands obviously cannot match the weight of a soul general.
So, it's more than just an exchange. It is also a test. Test the people in front of you to see if they are willing to agree with the order left behind by the ruined world government. Are you willing to raise this flag that no one has been able to carry before?
Of course, the person being visited will not respond directly.
"Sounds like a good order." It's just a courtesy.
"So, where is the world government that shaped this order now?" It's not a rhetorical question, it's not a joke, it's just a simple question looking forward to an answer.
"We don't know either." The woman once again became the representative of the response: "But they should all be dead, on a battlefield that we no longer know - this is some kind of seal, some kind of protection method. I only know The World Government's expedition points to the source of all this collapse. And the more people know about it, the faster it will come - it should have succeeded even a few years ago, destroying everything in the world. But the expedition did not come back, And the source of the abomination has not yet reached the world.”
"But the source still exists." The woman's mood was high before, but now it is slowly falling. "The fantasy lands that are now all over the world gradually appeared after the end of that war - most of them had been suppressed, even cleared and destroyed by us in advance. But they reappeared, and as time went by, Getting stronger and stronger. Even multiple demon kings were born."
"And you can't fight the devil." A statement.
"yes."
"You need someone to fight against the Demon King for you, destroy the Fantasy Land, preserve the remaining humans, and take over the banner of the World Government." Declarative tone, interrogative sentence.
"...As long as we can protect the survivors. The source will eventually revive, but if we can capture the World Government headquarters covered in the fantasy land of 'Atlantis' before then, we may be able to obtain what was left from that time Technological achievements... Before that expedition, the Joint Conference had used technological entities unearthed from the Fantasy Land to build a colonial spaceship capable of accommodating millions of people, but it was ultimately mothballed because that meant displacing the remaining dozens of Hundreds of millions of people have been abandoned. But now..."
Too many people died.
It is hard to say whether there are still 500,000 people on this land. What was originally a cowardly escape strategy became the light of hope for the survivors at this moment. And this means that at least this group of people is not naive enough to pit him against the entire world that is divided and dominated by fantasy.
Use your own power to defeat the whole world—this slogan doesn’t sound bad.
The man on the golden throne also nodded slightly.
"That place should be far away from here." He said.
"Yes." The man who was asked answered: "It used to be called Easter Island. It is difficult to get there from the sea, but you can go north, pass through the homeland, Ross, and the Strait of White Earth. Then all the way down along the Americas. On the way We need to pass through at most five large fantasy lands...if their distribution is exactly the same as before the expedition."
"Is there more than one demon king in Atlantis?" he asked.
"...There were three of them in their heyday, but they were all suppressed by the World Government. Now...we don't know how much they have recovered." This is not alarmism, nor is it a lie.
So the man on the throne nodded his head again.
"I generally understand." He said: "According to the rules of the world government, my power is my scepter. Regardless of whether I bear responsibility or not, I should be the general."
"…Indeed."
"So what should you call me? Louder."
"...Yes! General!"
