Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

"I think it should be possible." The doctor said, "Let Mr. Lu Shang impose the three prohibitions and try it?"

Kelsey: “???”

Seeing Theresa and the Doctor teaming up to bully Kal'tsit,

Lu Shang then lowered his head and looked at W who was in his arms: "See, it's just as I said, right? Your Highness doesn't notice you anymore."

W: "..."

Yes, Theresa greeted everyone except W.

Seeing this, W fell into deep thought.

But she wasn't sad.

Because soon, W turned around, looked at Lu Shang with a playful look on his face and a wicked smile: "Ha, so that's how it is, so dear~ You don't want Her Highness Theresa to mistakenly think that you are making strange noises alone, right?"

Wow, now we are the host, right?

Lu Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "So?"

“So~” W bit Lu Shang’s shoulder viciously, and then said vaguely: “This time it’s your turn to suffer!”

... ... ...

... ...

...

"Wait, I don't understand."

Lu Shang raised his hand and interrupted the discussion between Theresa and the doctor: "Theresa, what was your point just now? Say it again?"

“Hmm…” Theresa was full of energy when debating with the doctor, but after Lu Shang interrupted her, she seemed inexplicably guilty: “Um… community of shared future for mankind?”

"Hahahahaha-"

Lu Shang suddenly laughed like Tom Cat.

After laughing enough, Lu Shang spoke again: "A pure idealist, oh no, he should be called a dreamer."

"I don't actually hate idealists. Rather, I actually hope that idealists will succeed."

“But there’s a problem:”

"Do kings, princes, generals and ministers have any kind of courage? I'm sorry, but on Terra, they really do have some courage."

"Vaifan is born stronger than other races, Wolper is born more beautiful than other races, Filin is born with better business acumen than other races, and elves are born to live longer than other races."

"Then the question is, when there are such huge differences between the races, how can we force them to unite together?"

"Common goals? Common interests? Common enemies?"

"If you look around, if capitalism can emerge in Terra, I think they have tried their best."

"But I'm sorry, I only saw feudal society. Oh, and even slavery."

"So why do you think that in a situation where there is a hodgepodge of imperial power, dictatorship, aristocracy, slaves, gods, superiors and inferiors, normal people and infected people, and previous and current civilizations, they would choose to cooperate for mutual benefit?"

"Oh I see."

“Because when Kal’tsit led the team to destroy Kazdel, there were many times when the coalition forces of three, four, or even five countries came to fight you together. That’s why you think it’s normal for other countries to unite easily, Theresa.”

"Kel'tsit should take the blame for this. Kel'tsit, come here and get beaten."

091. Are you still thinking about your civil war?

Theresa is not too old, but she is not too young either.

Her age is at least 200 years old, and may be close to 300, or even older.

Compared to ordinary people whose average life expectancy is less than 100 years, Theresa is indeed very long-lived.

But compared to Kal'tsit and the Doctor who can be called cultural relics, a three-digit age is really not enough. Whose kid is this?

So from Theresa's perspective, it's easy to understand why she always felt that Terra could unite.

why?

She was staying peacefully in Kazdel, when suddenly someone shouted, "The Three Kingdoms Alliance is coming!"

After a while, someone shouted again: "The Four-Nation Alliance is coming!"

After a while, it was again: "The Five-Nation Alliance is coming!"

It's really grass.

Are other countries like you so united? Do you need to form a team to fight in Kazdel?

And the key point is that it’s not that Theresa is narrow-minded, because it’s the fucking fact.

More than 200 years ago, in the battle when Theresa became one of the six heroes, Kal'tsit led the coalition forces of Victoria, Lethania and Gaul.

If Theresa becomes the Demon King, even if she doesn't think so, other people in the royal court will definitely suggest it.

What if someone comes to attack Kazdel again next time?

What will be the reason? When will it happen? What will be the scale?

Last time it was a three-nation coalition, but next time it might be a four-, five-, or six-nation coalition.

So in Theresa's eyes, if this isn't unity, then what is it?

You can unite if you beat me, but if I ask you to beat others, you can't unite?

Kelsey: “…”

Kal'tsit seemed to have never expected that a large part of the reason why Theresa was so determined to form a community with a shared future for mankind was actually due to her.

So after looking at Lu Shang and then at Theresa, Kal'tsit opened her mouth and finally whispered, "Sorry..."

"If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?" Lu Shang glanced at her and said, "I told Kal'tsit to come here and get beaten."

Although Kal'tsit didn't want to, her body wouldn't listen to her.

So she had no choice but to walk in front of Lu Shang in her 10cm high heels, put herself in an S shape, then reached out to lift her skirt and stuck her butt towards Lu Shang.

Then snap.

Lu Shang hit Kal'tsit's short tail hidden under her skirt.

“And, Theresa, you’ve made a mistake.”

Lu Shang recalled the feeling of his hand just now, but couldn't help it. He reached out to pull Kal'tsit's short tail and played with it. He said, "The problem facing the Doctor is "Him" and the survival of civilization, but what lies before you, Theresa, is the meaningless civil war and the problem of Originium."

"Every planet in the universe, every civilization on it, is a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves—"

"Oh, by the way, Theresa, do you know the concepts of the universe and planets?"

Theresa nodded and pointed to the top of her head.

She wasn't referring to the status bar, but the black crown on her real-world body.

"Since you know, I won't explain it."

"The 'He' that the doctors and their friends are talking about is like a lumberjack. When he sees the towering trees of your civilization, he comes over with an axe and cuts them down. After that, he goes on to find the next civilization and continues to cut down trees."

"Then some crystal clear amber emerged from the chopped down tree. The amber slowly wrapped around the tree stump, and then, like glue, glued the chopped down tree trunks and branches together."

"And this amber is the Originium."

"And this process of repairing the tree was the original plan of Originium."

"But unfortunately, a small disagreement arose during the implementation of the Originium Project."

"The doctor, or the prophet, advocates that the Originium be used as a carrier of memory and information to record the process of the destruction of the current universe, and then pass it on to the next universe in a cycle. The Originium is used as a gift, so that the people of the next universe can understand everything through the information in the Originium and start trying to solve "Him" in advance. If they cannot solve it, they will use the Originium again to pass it on to the next universe, and so on, until the problem is completely solved. "

"But Preseth's idea is completely the opposite. Preseth intends to control and reverse the laws of the universe, so that the universe will be stuck in a singularity state forever, and the Originium will internalize the entire universe and turn it into a permanent refuge, so that everyone can "continue to exist" in the Originium forever."

"One bet everything on the future, the other threw away the future completely."

"Let's not talk about who is right and who is wrong between the Doctor and Precious. You just need to know that when the Doctor is branded with a mental stamp and Precious becomes a cyber ghost and monitors everything—"

"Theresa, you showed up. You even showed your ability to reverse the internalized universe in front of the Doctor and the Cyber ​​Ghost Presise."

"Do you know what this means?"

Lu Shang looked at Theresa, and Theresa looked at the doctor.

The doctor was silent for a while before speaking: "What I mean is, Theresa, you are trying to seize the control of the Originium from Precious, and you are doing it in front of her."

So what would the Doctor do in this situation? Or rather, what would Precious do?

kill her.

Theresa had to die. She had to die.

"So, Theresa, you're dead."

Lu Shang added a little bit of knowledge: "The matter should have ended here, but unfortunately, Theresa, you died, but not completely. You left a program in the continuation of civilization and created the NPC Demon King. Then, um, you were discovered by Prissus."

Theresa: “…”

Kelsey: “…”

Even Kal'tsit, her "daughter", is treated as a pet cat by Priss. It is hard to say what will happen to Theresa, or the Demon King, if she falls into Priss's hands.

"So do you understand? Theresa, why do I say that what lies before you is the problem of Originium, not "Him"?"

"Because before He takes action, you have to make two choices."

"Either you agree with the doctor's proposition and pass on hope to the future, but your generation will just wait to die."

"Either you agree with Prisseth's proposal and give up your future, or you will still wait for death, because Originium will soon cover the entire Terra, and even the entire universe."

"If you want to struggle and come up with a third solution yourself—"

"So what are you doing now, Theresa? Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem of Originium, you are still thinking about your stupid civil war?"

092. This bastard is carrying her towards Theresa! ! !

There is no point in a civil war.

There is no point in arguing.

It would be even more meaningless when there are evil demons in the north, sea heirs in the south, and a "Him" in the sky watching covetously.

If you want them to unite, it is better to let the doctors climb the technology, climb to the planetary rings, send them into the sky, and hang space-based cannons over the heads of various countries. This will ensure that they will unite quickly.

Or you can go to the sea to find the deep blue tree, let Hai Si come ashore, and push over anyone who disobeys.

Since the nations of Terra can unite in fighting Kazdel, let them fight again.

The only difference is whether Theresa wants to be a brave hero who saves the world, or a devil who oppresses all countries.

But what Theresa chooses is none of Lu Shang’s business.

So after throwing the question back to Theresa, Lu Shang lowered his head and looked at W in his arms.

As a result, I saw that W was actually pricking up his ears and listening to gossip.

"W, do you understand? Why are you just enjoying it?"

In response to Lu Shang's teasing, W turned around instantly and glared at him with her little eyes.

But just as she was about to say something, Lu Shang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't make a sound. It would be bad if your Highness heard it."

"?"

W's eyes widened instantly.

What do you mean?

Didn't you tell His Highness to ignore my existence? How could His Highness possibly hear me?

Wait...are you kidding me?!
