Chapter 1410: Dark Ambition
Wang Zheng was very clear that it was impossible to go against heaven’s will without the assistance of super warriors. The performance of Bonehead’s super mech was unmatched by the average mecha. Although it would be difficult to destroy the entire fleet, they could destroy the command system of the enemy fleet and it could cause sufficient disruption to them. As such, they would not have to worry about the obstruction of the Heaven-rank warriors.
Perhaps there would be better warriors than him. But with him piloting a mech, he may not necessarily have any opponent.
After advancing to the Heaven-rank, Wang Zheng could still recall the power of the Great Elder that he felt when he was at the Oracle Star. It was truly horrifying. But it was two different stages: from the previous complete inability to judge to the current palpability.
“The mech needs to recharge its energy in the Temple of Dida, which can be summoned by the Rubik’s Cube,” Charcoal added.
Wang Zheng smiled, “Charcoal, don’t you think this is a coincidence? A planet full of life, a sage who is an expert at spiritual power, a giant who is an expert at physical techniques, super-gravity energy ore – why do I feel that something is wrong?”
Charcoal looked at Wang Zheng dully. “There is no memory of this.”
Wang Zheng looked at Charcoal smilingly. Go on, continue to pretend. Let’s see how long you can pretend. In fact, Wang Zheng did not care what responsibility or destiny he had to bear. As long as he could protect the people around him, he was willing to do anything. This was enough for him. Besides, Charcoal bore no ill intentions for him. On the contrary, he had been helping him. He could somewhat understand the person who had accomplished all this. Power could cause a person to lose his way and even go crazy. They had to control the power instead of allowing power to control them. If an ambitious person gained control of this power, it would be a catastrophe to the human world. Destruction had always been much easier than construction. It would be difficult to use this sort of power for protection, but it would be difficult to stop the use of this sort of power for destruction.
After such a long rest, Wang Zheng could feel his strength returning, and it would take him a few days to return to his best condition. He just had to hold on a little longer and regain consciousness in his strongest form. He still had a lot of work to do. In the past few days, he could feel Ye Zisu, Yan Xiaosu, and the others taking turns to visit him. Ye Zisu had also talked to him about the condition of each country from time to time, especially the condition of the Solar System. It was evident that Ye Zisu was very worried about her father. As the speaker of the Solar System, Ye Bingwen had to face this issue immediately after taking office. In fact, Ye Bingwen was just a wallpaper in the decision-making process of this war. Although his relationship with Meng Ao and the others was good, when it came to military command, Ye Bingwen had no influence. Neither did ge have any influence over the power of the conservative families or the large families of the Moon and Mars. The power structure during peacetime and the war time were completely different concepts.
However, as the nominal representative of the Solar System, Ye Bingwen had to deal with different aspects of the issues. If they achieved victory, the military strategies would be accredited for the victory. If they were defeated, he would be the scapegoat.
Ye Zisu had initially wanted to return to Earth to help, but she was stopped by Ye Bingwen. Although the Solar System seemed huge, it was actually not as safe as the Tita Star. More importantly, on the Tita Star, everyone knew their goals very well, regardless of life or death. But in the Solar System, too many things were being constrained and there was no room for maneuvering, despite the enthusiasm. The current optimism of the Solar System made Ye Bingwen very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Fei was initially going to the Tita Star. However, when the war started, Xiao Fei felt duty-bound and stayed back. A large number of the students from Ares College had enlisted into the reserves, preparing for war at any time. As such, she could not leave.
Of course, there were also warm vignettes, such as Lan Ling’s late night girls’ talk. This seemed to be her habit, as it had always been.
In the Darkness Empire, the entire nation was full of excitement. After defeating the Fairy Star and avenging their humiliation, and with the current situation of the Milky Way Alliance, all the citizens of the Darkness Empire believed that the opportunity for the rise of the Darkness Empire to become the leader of the new era had arrived.
There was a fierce debate in the cabinet. Prime Minister Pacquiao Lorgue narrowed his eyes, looking at the cabinet think tanks he himself had set up. He was very satisfied with the heated debate. It was necessary to put restraints on power to make the most of it.
Similarly, the liberation of power should be like tap water, passing through restricted pipelines, passing through pressure and spraying out, such that the power could be controlled and could target the power of the opponent, rather than drowning in the sea of power.
To become a yielder of power, not an addict drowning in the sea of power.
The competitive nature of his cabinet would allow him to maximize his power.
“We can’t afford to expand new battlefields. We are already at our limit!”
Treasury Minister Maggie was a conservative woman, the epitome of being cavil. But she had never given an impression of intimidation but rather an aggressive, judgmental temperament. It was as if all lies would crumble under her examination. Her cavil attitude was not because she was calculative, but her ability to spend every galaxy coin accurately in the right places.
“Limit? The expansion of the empire knows no limit. The current opportunity is but fleeting. The empire is fully capable of expanding a third battlefield!”
Defense Minister Fabio interrupted Maggie’s speech coldly. The empire had waited for a century for this opportunity. The two great powers, Aslan and Arbiter, had broken out in war. Heaven had helped the Darkness Empire. This was an era of expansion and rise to be the king. It was right to want to be a fisherman who reaped the profits of the struggle between the snipe and the clam. However, the Darkness Empire was not the only fisherman in this ocean of stellar war. The key was to be proactive.
“But would it be somewhat ominous to set the target of the third battlefield as the Titatitan Star?”
The head of the PDD intelligence department twisted the goatee on his chin and shared his thoughts. “The rebellion of the Fairy Star has yet to be put down. I think we should focus more on the regime of the Fairy Star.”
“It is precisely because of the Fairy Star that we need to defeat Tita! ”
Fabio banged the table and stood up. “The Fairy Star itself does not produce too many scarce resources, but the rare mining route with the Fairy Star as the hub is a golden channel! We are already caught in this situation, why don’t we go further? The expansion of the empire requires the transfusion on this route, and Tita has the resources we want. This is the key to hegemony. Manalasuo already covets the Sirius Star’s alloy ore star. We cannot fall behind. Besides, the Tita Star is inconsequential, the Darkness Empire is not Sirius!”
“Do you think that the mistakes made by the Sirius Star are avoidable?”
“The failure of the Sirius Star was not because Titatitan Star was powerful, but rather the carving up of benefits by Manalasuo and the Hail Cloud Alliance. Since the Sirius Star has now attracted enough attention, this is a good time for us to act. Judging from the international situation, no other country could interfere with us now. Opportunity knocks but once; I think we should take the initiative.”
Fabio had been well prepared. Military honor was the foundation to his promotion; no one could stop him from becoming the hero of the empire’s expansion of power!
History would provide proof and would remember that he was right.
