Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1276 - 272: Empire Line: Toward the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (66)_2

Vellia tilted her head and said:

"If you take away the last remaining possessions of a destitute person, that's one thing. After all, even though they have nothing, they still have life."

"But if you take away everything from someone who has nothing, you'll only gain the most brutal revenge."

Vellia's rose-red eyes hinted at a trace of mockery:

"You Earthlings, you're always so extreme. If, when opposing Morphederia's tyranny, you had only targeted Morphederia personally, instead of inflicting collective punishment on the entire Haines military and civilians, you could still have a foothold in the Starry Abyss in the future. At most, there would be disputes, but peace would still be possible."

"The world has suffered under Qin's rule for a long time. For the common people, do they really care who rules? Whether it's Leoz or Morphederia, whoever gives them food to eat, land to till, and a home to return to, they will follow."

"What did you give them? You poisoned the crops, polluted the meals, burned down their homes, and under Redd Gold's pull, slaughtered ninety percent of Haines' life. And you call it what—Leibolaiti and Dimocles? Don't you find it ridiculous."

"It's not ridiculous at all."

The senators laughed.

"When we were enslaved as hunting dogs by Morphederia, killing and devouring each other, did anyone cheer for us?" [Astrologer] Kauna pulled up his shirt, revealing a long scar:

"When I was still a civilized citizen, one day we were suddenly attacked by an ally, and a girl disintegrated into molecules right before my eyes."

[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen unfastened the side of her cheongsam, revealing a hipbone reduced to white bones, and said blandly:

"We were ordered to trample the land of our allies, people who were once declared our 'friends and brothers,' incited by Morphederia, crossed the starry sky, invaded the border farms, burning, killing, looting, not even sparing elementary school children! This is Morphederia's sin."

"No matter what you say, you can't whitewash Morphederia's actions."

[Soldier] Militrui said coldly:

"Morphederia used us, enslaved us. The former [High Court Society], under Morphederia's command, constantly oppressed us. Even when we elevated into [Society], we were humiliated and bullied by the Element senators. To protect Earth's mother star, we even voluntarily cut ties with Earth."

[Engineer] Zhang Fulong crossed his arms, calmly:

"Even His Majesty [Emperor] Anpolo is the same, for our blue Earth, we sacrificed a lot. Even now, many newly joined Secret citizens can't even speak English."

"Do you think we haven't thought of peaceful coexistence? Many of our citizens in Haines have gradually been assimilated, some even made friends with the Meteor Fall Master—but Leoz encouraged the Haines people to develop civilization and industry, constantly compressing our living space, causing our population to dwindle."

[Hairdresser] Jack Wanpyre appeared silently, as mysterious as a vampire, and stared dead at Vellia, saying:

"—But Leoz encouraged the Haines people to develop civilization and industry, constantly compressing our living space, causing our population to dwindle."

"We never intended to resist Leoz. We came for revenge against Morphederia. This war was started by Leoz, it was Leoz who destroyed the Dragon Race civilization, monopolized power, and began his autocratic rule, forcing us to liberate Haines—all this responsibility falls on Leoz."

"That kind of rhetoric, you can say it to yourselves, but don't really believe it—so what? What you did in Haines, in the Starry Abyss, how is it different from Morphederia?"

Vellia laughed:

"I see, you still don't understand."

"Li Aozi will hate you, he has the strength to defeat you, not because he has any mandate, nor because he holds the mere title of a Cannon Fodder Deity-turned-tyrant."

"The reason he can oppose Gaia—is because of you."

"You gave Leoz strength, it is this injustice and oppression that nourished his flesh, it is blood and hatred that brewed his most primitive and pure character, it was your violent acts that personally crafted the hero of a killing [Society], just like Morphederia initially crafted you to be hunting dogs for enslavement—it is you!"

"Billions of years, and you still don't understand? This war is a collision and fusion of extreme ideologies, continuing to this day, it's no longer about who invading whom, it's hatred breeding more hatred, assassins nurturing new assassins."

"Yesterday were the polite and noble inheriting civilizations of Secret and the Outer Realm, tomorrow it will be the lowborn Cannon Fodder Deity Leoz, and the day after once Leoz invades Earth, they will create a new batch of rebels in the Starry Abyss."

"When you go to extremes, no one can defeat you, and the only thing that can sanction you is an even more extreme monster."

"No, he won't be able to do that."

[Soldier] said:

"We won't give him that chance."

She turned her head, looking at [Engineer] Zhang Fulong:

"Exterminate them."

Zhang Fulong nodded, began to manipulate civilization without a change in expression.

A Tatar & Slavic mixed-blood scientist walked out of the laboratory, holding a tube of peculiar blue liquid, he arrived at the upper reaches of the Ashitariya River, which traverses the entire western plains of Oxiulia and is the mother river upon which seventy percent of the nation's population depends for survival.

He opened the bottle cap and gulped down the blue liquid, afterwards his whole body's flesh began writhing rapidly, his entire body disintegrated into twisted, twitching strands of flesh, frenetically leaping into the river like countless iron worms.

Vellia frowned:

"What did you deploy? Virus? Plague? That will only make Li Aozi angrier."

"That is the most terrifying weapon in this world. It is also the weapon that narratives use to guard against each other, even the Void is no match for it."

[Soldier] tapped her head, smiling, and said:

"Anti-Narrative Body: Individualism."

"True war never needs real blades and gun slaughters, we are existences more advanced than civilization, our war will not raise smoke."

"We will let civilization collapse from within, letting their own people destroy their civilization."

"The Grand Narrative comes from recognition, even nihilism itself is built on the foundation of 'all things are void', once recognition is lost, civilization will regress to beasts, brawling with each other, unable to understand."

"You say we don't understand the power of the masses? No, we understand it too well. Redd Gold was cultivated by our Earth culture, we know the destruction of the individual to the collective better than Redd Gold."

"When the individuals of the Empire and civilization awaken, they won't be willing to serve Leoz, which is more effective than any weapon—and this is the power of advanced civilization!"

"Earth is the lighthouse of all civilizations, and Secret is the lighthouse of Earth."
