Chapter 234: Chapter 234 The Betrayer (Part 2)
"We just want to protect ourselves. No one can put down their guard against the alien species that slaughter their own race."
The head of state said that this was not an excuse, but that the senior officials of the whole empire thought so. In fact, it was the same for Huo Gu, so this was a dead knot.
"So, isn't that the reason? Both sides can't let go of their guard because of each other's slaughter, forming an indestructible chain of suspicion, and the chain of suspicion will promote the attack. They are like this. So are you. It's all for survival. Isn't your stellar strategy formulated for this? If later and the stellar strategy is perfectly executed, will you care about the destruction of another civilization? Will you let the other party live? I'm afraid it will be just a sincere sigh - ah, the war is finally over.
"..."
The head of state was silent, and he had to admit that what the other party said was right, such as love, kindness and so on. In the face of civilized racial responsibility, all of them would be crushed without debris.
For the sake of the empire, he can even go against his conscience to have a young girl undergo brain surgery, physically remove 'loneliness', 'sadness', 'fear' and other negative emotions, and then throw it away for several light years. No one can guarantee that it will be a planet suitable for the Selin people.
Is this cruel? Yes, but he has done more cruel things than this, so it's nothing.
The head of state still remembers what the former head of state said when he handed over to him - when you decide to take on this responsibility, you are no longer you, nor can you. If you can't do it, just get out of this position.
"I know them and you. Although I don't know everything comprehensively, I can still judge the final direction of the war in the overall situation. I'm sorry to tell you that the head of state, the Selin people are at a great disadvantage. It will eventually be you, not them. Do you want to hear my reasons?"
"Please speak."
I got the private answer from the head of state.
"You are better than them... For convenience, please let me call them 'gatherers'."
"You Serin people are technically far behind the collectors. In the past time, your observation satellites have also recorded that those primitive individuals who are just holding stone fragments have never thought about why they have changed so much in a short period of time?"
"It's because the supreme will, the supreme will wants to destroy you, just like you, in order to preserve the race it created, the collector."
"The supreme will? Your leader?"
The head of state asked this question, but then it was immediately rejected privately.
"No, no, no, that's not like you Selin people who choose individuals as the leader of civilization. For the collector, it is God, absolute and everything. Therefore, it is respected as 'supreme and supreme'. The collector race is only a part of it. It has existed for a long time. You probably I can't imagine, because your species has no gods, but the good thing is that there is an information record, and you can intuitively see what it is.
With that, he signaled Marvin outside the isolation room in sign language to open the projection. What was presented in front of the head of the Fetter was the battle he had seen in front of the door of the library of the alien shelter. The information came from the recorder in the power armor of the Bingwangfan team.
However, due to the fierce battle, the whole recording process is blurred, and only a few moments are clearly visible, which really has little strategic reference value.
The chaotic picture was adjusted to the end, and a glimpse of a white collector was recorded, which was the terrible enemy fighting against several soldiers.
"It is the supreme will of the collectors."
Hearing this, the head of state showed puzzlement.
"Didn't you say that it is your god? It's just one, um, collector."
I wanted to say that the head of the monster, considering the person he was communicating with, he changed his name to use the same name as the other party.
"That's why I said that it's difficult for you Selin people to understand. Isn't there also an example of being possessed by a god in your myths and legends? The whiteness of the whole body is not a change of skin tone.
It is the dead skin formed by the accelerated metabolism of cells of the whole body. You think that several soldiers were killed by collectors. In fact, the collectors at that time did not have this ability. They were the hands of the supreme will."I said before, all, the supreme will governs everything, what is all? The creatures in your fleet, as well as those creatures on the planet, are under its control. They are all done by it, such as building orbital guns, analyzing your technology, and creating larger organisms.
"Are you... talking about myths and legends?"
"Yes or no, haven't you experienced it yourself? Why, the experience is not enough?
Some unacceptable heads of state questioned and were satirized. That's the truth. You can't help but believe it. After all, this world, this universe, is not what I think about.
"Well, just as if what you say is true, then how to communicate? We don't have the language of collectors."
"Don't worry, you turn off the full frequency interference. uses the radio to send messages to the planets close to Celine. The supreme will can receive it. I will teach you the language, and you can also ask me to be a translator."
In this regard, the private performance is very positive.
"However, I also have some conditions. I hope you can agree. As you know, there is no free lunch in the world. Free is too expensive for you to pay for the time being."
"What is it?"
"I plan to lead my compatriots to build a country and be recognized by your empire to live in peace on a planet in this star system."
The Fure listened and felt that there was something wrong. Isn't it those monsters sitting opposite him? Why don't you return to them and put forward the request of 'the founding of the country'?
"Are you not going back?"
"What we go back to face is death. Those collectors can't wait to tear it to pieces when they see individuals like us, because we are the traitors of the supreme will."
"Uh... traitor?"
The head of state hasn't figured out what the 'supreme will' is. Now there is a traitor. How to say, it's a little magical...
"Well, I'm afraid that joining your Selin Empire will also be bullied. Both sides can't please you, so you can only build a country independently. Everything is for survival."
"It is not in our interest for you to continue to fight. If you continue to fight like this, the energy level of the two sides will be higher and higher. I have no doubt that the whole star system will be completely broken. I believe you don't want to see the results of both sides die together for victory, right?"
"Don't be wary of us. In order to live smoothly and promote a reconciliation between the two sides as soon as possible, it is the best interest of us 'traitors'."
The head of state was silent for a while and nodded.
"...I see."
