Chapter 147: The Tragedy of Peace
"Is that true?" The crow's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he forgot to drink even the wine glass that was lifted to his mouth. "The other worlds have experienced the same period?"
"It's hard to say, I haven't paid much attention to relevant history before, and the mercenaries are not very interested in irrelevant knowledge." Rose's fingers gently rubbed the metal box, and the two beautiful eyebrows were frowned tightly. "But as far as I know, there are several worlds that have indeed had a very troublesome past, the magic network explosion in the magic world, the shadow of nuclear war in our world, and the crisis of the poisonous dragon breath here, if coupled with the recovery plan of the master of the wasteland world and then established, by the way, we have to include the strange beasts or demon spirit world that are about to be completely extinct. In this way, most of the worlds have really reached the brink of the end of the world, but some worlds have survived, while some worlds have not."
"You... are so absolute." At some point, Master Lana had already put down the crystal ball and listened blankly to the countess telling stories outside history. When she heard the communication between crows and roses, she took a deep breath of the smoke emitted by the herbs. Her eyes without focus slightly condensed, and said intermittently, "The development of civilization... is always... accompanied... birth and destruction, and the world... is the same, the old... destruction, accompanied... new... birth, recurrence... endless... so... several worlds... have exploded... the crisis of doomsday... does not mean... what..."
"It is indeed a very normal cycle, but if the crisis of doomsday occurred two hundred years ago, it would probably be abnormal at all." Rose deliberately avoided Lana's gaze and said lightly, "There are at least three worlds in the known information that were in crisis two hundred years ago. Do you still think it is normal?"
"Fate is always... full of... coincidences, more dramatic than you can imagine, just like... intentionally... choreographed... script."
"Maybe you make sense, but we are more willing to believe in logical judgments than illusory fate." The crow patted Rose's arm and interrupted her rebuttal, "But these issues that are close to the field of philosophy are not what needs to be considered now. Countess, please continue."
"Hmm? I'm done." The Countess looked puzzled, "Didn't you guessed it later? We came forward together and reasoned with the top leaders of the rebels, and finally convinced them to stop confrontation. Just like those fantasy novels, the heroes ushered in the final victory."
"Well, let's not discuss the strange statements of heroes and final victory." The crow twitched, rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have any misunderstanding of the act of persuasion? I think there is an essential difference between soul-catching and persuasion."
"It is not a soul-catching behavior. The soul-catching behavior is very hostile. If used against the rebels, once the effect is terminated, it will inevitably bring unpredictable counter-effects."
"Well, is it the skill to change others' cognition?" Crow frowned, "I really don't know that there are similar methods in the magic spell technique, and the effect is too exaggerated."
"Change cognition? Oh, you mean those fools from the Dark Guild. Yes, it's the same method, but it has nothing to do with changing cognition."
"Hmm? What is that?"
"Didn't Lana say everything just now? She can see through the future, and I can play with the future." The Countess's smile cunningly, "I just set the result that the rebels' senior leaders were convinced by us. As for how to achieve this result, how distorted the process will be. It is all adjustments made by the world's rules themselves, and I don't know."
Ha? Is this even more exaggerated? If you set it to kill everyone in the world, then that's not...
"Don't even think about it. Even with my strength, I can only change some small things." Although the Countess didn't know what the crow was thinking, he knew that he had not thought of good things when he looked at his expression. "Just like the one from the Dark Guild, I set him to feel that I passed the review, so I passed the review, setting where he would fall tomorrow, then he would fall flat tomorrow. If I set him to die tomorrow, nothing would happen, because the change was too big. However, if I buried a mine in the place where he fell in advance, he would still fall, and then detonate the mine and be blown to death."
"I think if you buried a mine, he would detonate if he didn't fall." Although he was raising arguments, the crow actually understood the countess' meaning. In theory, it was not an exaggeration. It was just a trivial change. However, if you cooperate with other proactive actions, it could also produce global consequences, such as the farce-like rebellion, "So, to the top leaders of the rebels..."
"I set them that they thought Long Jiu's words were very reasonable, and Long Jiu's words were indeed a little reasonable, so they were convinced." The amazing effect was underestimated by the Countess. "So the top leaders took the core members of the rebels and followed Long Jiu to other worlds. Although they could not absorb energy and were very weak there, they would not be liquidated at least. And they had the insights of two worlds and the help of Long Jiu, and could have a very good future. Now it seems that Long Jiu was right. They did live a good life, well, and even a little too good."
"Tsk, I always feel that you are full of malice towards the rebels and the others." The crow curled his lips and said, "No, you should say that you are full of malice towards several major forces, otherwise you would not want to detonate the extermination bomb."
"You guessed this wrongly, there is no malicious intention at all. I just hate them simply for the rebels. They held the Breath of the Poison Dragon and threatened to die together, just like those bandits holding hostages and threatening to guard, without any force at all. It's too low-level. I really want to see them unlucky, so I pulled them into the water." The Countess's original relaxed expression gradually became gloomy. "As for the church and the family, detonating the Breath of the Poison Dragon is just a means. What I want to do is to destroy the harmony and balance between them, frame the responsibility of destroying the city on the other side, arouse hatred from the middle and lower levels, and then force the upper level to put the world into war again."
"Hmm?" Rose and Crow were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other in surprise. "Isn't it that you created the peace with your own hands? Why did you start another war?"
