Chapter 1485 No Choice (I just want to sleep in this weather)

It has to be said that no one expected that an afternoon tea party designed to soothe a girl's fragile heart would end up like this.

They didn't understand what Duanmu Huai said, but they understood the meaning.

Since the world government cannot solve this problem, then solve the world government.

Then find someone who can solve the problem.

"My attitude is that you'd better resolve it internally."

Duanmu Huai grabbed the snacks on the table and threw them into his mouth one by one, two by three by four, while expressing his opinions. At this moment, the girls were no longer in the mood to eat, and could only watch Duanmu Huai eat their afternoon tea desserts—they couldn't eat any more anyway.

"If you can't resolve this internally, then the Inquisition will have no choice but to leave immediately."

"Go straight away?"

"We will completely destroy all life on this planet and then start over again."

Duanmu Huai spread out his hands as he spoke.

"Look, it's easy. We have enough technology to do this. It's just like a construction game. If you don't want to play this save file, the best way is to clear it with one click and start over."

"So what will you do?"

At this time, Dr. Mei also asked, and Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"It's very simple. We will first release an announcement stating that Honkai energy is the culprit of all this. Only by completely abandoning and eliminating Honkai energy can this planet be free from the threat of Herrscher and the Honkai effect. However, the World Government rejected our proposal, so we will purify the entire planet after a countdown of ten days. During this time, we will send transport planes to various parts of the world to take away all those who are willing to leave. As for those stubborn idiots, they will just have to wait to be buried with the old world."

"and then?"

"Neutron inactivation is enough to solve all problems. Next is the climate controller and catalytic biological reaction. Then we will put the survivors back to the completely cleansed planet so that they can start the next life."

"…………………"

Faced with the specific plan given by Duanmu Huai, everyone was speechless. This kind of thing seemed incredible, at least for the human civilization on this planet, which had not even the ability to colonize alien planets, it was simply a fantasy.

But looking at Duanmu Huai's expression, it didn't even seem like he was talking about something difficult, but more like he was discussing whether the afternoon tea snacks were delicious...

  Is this the power of interstellar civilization?

Dr. Mei also stretched out his hand to press his forehead. Just hearing the word "reshape the planet" made him feel that it was a very difficult and unimaginable thing. But when Duanmu Huai said it, it was so easy. Maybe for the Inquisition, this is really not a big deal.

Although for them, it was already completely unimaginable.

"So... we just have to do it?"

Alicia's expression was a bit complicated. She blinked her eyes, looked at this, then looked at that. The others were speechless at this time. Indeed, although Duanmu Huai gave them a choice, in fact they had no choice at all. Anyone with a brain knew that as long as the explosion of Honkai energy was the culprit of all this, most ordinary people would definitely want to stay away from danger.

After all, it is only a minority who make decisions on their behalf. To put it bluntly, if they want to control the world government, they only need to replace these few people. After all, the minority must obey the majority. Compared to having their world destroyed by the Herrscher, abandoning Honkai energy is not an incomprehensible option.

It's better than Duanmu Huai's plan B, which is not the minority obeying the majority, but turning the majority into the minority...

But the problem is...there has to be a replacement product.

It's not easy.

You have to know that over the years, the application of Honkai energy has already penetrated every corner of this civilization. This is not a problem that can be solved by building two more nuclear power plants. The energy application of Honkai energy is far higher than nuclear energy. If you want to completely replace Honkai energy, you need at least a substitute that is almost the same.

"Can the Inquisition provide a replacement?"

"Of course we do."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"But you should understand what this means, so I don't think I need to say more."

Of course, Dr. Mei understood what Duanmu Huai meant. Energy is the lifeline of a civilization. If they choose to hand over this lifeline to the Inquisition, it means that the Inquisition has completely taken control of the planet. This is difficult to accept for any civilization that desires independence.

"Of course, Interstellar Peace Company should also have its own plan. You can go talk to them. Maybe they can give you better conditions."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai picked up two more pieces of dessert and threw them into his mouth, then stood up and walked out of the room.

"That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you."

After saying this irresponsibly, Duanmu Huai staggered out of the room humming a song, leaving everyone speechless, not knowing what to do.

Dr. Mei raised his hand, picked up the cup of black tea beside him, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Don't tell anyone what happened today."

Then, she turned and left, leaving only a few fusion warriors staring at each other—they also knew why these two people chose to say this in front of them. After all, if Dr. Mei really wanted to overthrow or even replace the World Government to issue orders, she would need her own manpower.

Among her subordinates, the Fusion Warriors are the closest to Dr. Mei and are also the most powerful. After all, the Fusion Warriors can compete with the Herrschers, which means that the World Government's subordinates have no way to fight against the Fusion Warriors. No matter how many people come, they will all die.

Of course, the World Government is not a pure and innocent little white rabbit. Like what happened before, although the high-ranking official of the World Government who issued the order was the Herrscher's clone, the problem was that there was nothing wrong with his order itself. In other words, the World Government has actually been secretly monitoring the Fire Moths in private, and once they are likely to encounter any accidents, they will be ruthlessly wiped out.

As the most powerful fighting force of the Fire Moth, the fusion warriors were obviously pushed to the front line.

So, do they have a choice?

As it stands...to be honest, it seems they have no choice.

To be honest, there are actually many possibilities, but they are not important.

Because...the Inquisition is too powerful.

Even though these fusion warriors are already capable of fighting against the Herrschers, for Duanmu Huai to deal with them, it would only take a slap in the face.

As for the army?

  Are you kidding me? Are the three battleships of the Inquisition floating in low-Earth orbit just for show? You know, this planet has not yet produced such a thing as a space battleship. Although there is a Moonlight Throne project to fight against the Herrscher, the problem is that it has not been completed yet!

To put it another way, even if it was completed, in front of the huge warships of the Inquisition, it would be nothing more than a rotten fish in front of a whale, not worth mentioning at all!

So, this is how the world is.

You have the bigger fist, so your word is final.

  Even if Dr. Mei, Alicia and others have other ideas, will it be useful?

No.

If you don't listen, the Inquisition will start to implement Plan B according to its own plan, and then there will be real suffering. Even if the Fire Moths and the World Government join forces, they can't stop the Inquisition.

So—they had no choice.

After all, power is violence.

Ultimately, the one with the biggest fists is the most persuasive.

Duanmu Huai thought so and did so, and he felt that he was doing nothing wrong.

But apparently some people don't think so.

"I didn't expect that you would make such a fuss when Mary and I were just visiting a patient, Mr. Knight..."

An covered his face with his hands and fell into a chair.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. After all, that's the plan, isn't it?"

"That's true, but political negotiations should be more... how should I put it? More tactful, and at the same time, the other party should be able to feel at ease! Instead of directly saying that if you don't do what I say, you will die - that's intimidation, Mr. Knight."

“I didn’t say this was a negotiation.”

In response to An's complaint, Duanmu Huai reached out and scratched his ears.

"This is an order, they can only obey, it's that simple."

Seeing that An wanted to say something, Duanmu Huai reached out to stop her.

"Listen carefully, An, I know what you're thinking, but the Inquisition is not an organization that needs to be welcomed by others. For us, fear from others is more useful than love. We have to let them know that we keep our promises and will never waver or show mercy. Then they won't want to deceive us by relying on their good relationship with us, or think they can escape punishment. You should understand that people worship God not because God will give them power, but because they fear that God will bring disaster to them... The nature of the Inquisition determines that we do not seek the love of others, as long as they fear us, are in awe of us, and are willing to act according to our will."

"………………You sound like a tyrant when you say that."

"So the Inquisition does not rule, we just carry out our mission."

Duanmu Huai also knows how to measure things, which is why he did not follow the Emperor to rebuild the human empire. The high-pressure rule of the Inquisition cannot last forever, so what Duanmu Huai showed is that when the Inquisition needs to act, it must not be stopped by any circumstances.

In comparison, as long as you don't violate any rules on weekdays, nothing will happen and the court will not interfere with what you do.

Therefore, the Inquisition and the worlds it comes into contact with get along quite well.

This is why even the Star Alliance only had some complaints about the Inquisition's actions, but did not particularly hate it.

It is obvious which is more tolerable: delegating power most of the time, applying pressure occasionally, or applying pressure all the time until you break down.

As a princess, An often looks at things from the perspective of an imperial ruler, and thinks it is natural to maintain good foreign relations, but for Duanmu Huai, this is unnecessary. Because the Inquisition does not expand, annex, or rule. We are only responsible for dealing with human threats, and when the threats are eliminated, the Inquisition will leave, it's that simple.

"But, can Dr. May do it?"

After getting the answer from Duanmu Huai, An immediately began to worry about another problem.

"It's not easy to take over the power of the World Government. Besides, isn't Dr. Mei a scientist? She's not good at this kind of negotiation."

"I don't know about that. Anyway, let's wait and see. For Dr. Mei, it's not a question of whether to do it or not, but a question of -- she must do it."
