Chapter 514 The Second Handle?
There are never only a few people who affect the direction of history. But there is no doubt that these few people will occupy an absolute proportion in history. And now the earth, driven by such a small number of people, has entered an all-out war, making the future of the earth develop in an unpredictable direction.
Total War is fundamentally different from the previous World Wars I and II.
Not for resources, not for aggression, but a conflict of ideas!
Not only are the reasons for fighting different, but even the way of fighting has undergone absolute changes. The army is no longer the main force in battle, and what affects the direction of the battlefield has become the absolute personal power at the top. The group of people at the top is no different from human-shaped self-propelled nuclear bombs. The aggressiveness, oppression, and deterrence brought by just one person...is greater than a large number of technological weapons.
And the way to win is no longer to occupy the opponent's territory, but to kill the opponent's leadership. The death of a leader has a completely subversive impact on a country and power.
Because, the current leader means 'the strongest'!
This is definitely not enough to change the leader casually to lead the country again. The power conferred by social groups has become less and less meaningful. Because if you don't have that strength and ability, the more you sit in a high position, the faster you will die. And the impact of such a result is that what determines one's own status... completely becomes one's own.
This is definitely an era of freedom, but also an era of striving.
Whether it is failure or death, there is no need to blame others, because the only reason is that your own strength is not enough. As long as you have the ability, you can definitely occupy a position that matches your own ability. Under such stimulation, driven by the entire war-torn environment, all human beings and humanoid creatures are working hard and developing crazily. Because if you don't develop, you will fall behind. All kinds of new things, concepts, rules...are constantly emerging in the pursuit of each other, bringing subversive impact to the original world.
...
Battles have taken place almost all over the world, and Japan must be the first to bear the brunt of all kinds of enemies. After Bai Yi announced his purpose, there was no reason for reconciliation at all. If Bai Yi was intact, Bai Minglou would definitely attack. However, Bai Yi's status is unclear now, so under Gu Huai's arrangement, Japan has temporarily taken a defensive position.
Japan is an island country, facing the vast Pacific Ocean to the east and inland China to the west. Although China is not completely settled yet, because of Ning Xue's existence, the forces belonging to the United Nations have also been greatly restrained. Therefore, there is no full-scale war in Japan now, after all, it is impossible for the enemy to come here out of thin air.
but,
A small number of enemies also came to Japan through various means, collecting information, destroying key industries in Japan, establishing secret strongholds, assassinating the high-level officials of Baiming Building...etc. Although a full-scale battle will not take place for the time being, destroying the resource base of Baiming Tower will also have a huge impact on the future battle situation.
War has never been as simple and straightforward as two armies confronting each other!
Although Momo has gone to the Alps to protect Bai Yi, there are still many people in Japan now. Not to mention Gu Huai and Woolf, even the personnel who have been continuously trained and recruited in the past few years, many of them have good strength. Before the various enemies appeared, Gu Huai had already started to make arrangements, so it was relatively easy to deal with it at this time.
After joining Baiming Tower, Gu Huai and the others hadn't experienced a few decent battles, as if they were playing soy sauce. Sometimes, Gu Huai also felt very helpless. It is a good thing to meet an outstanding leader, but when they are too outstanding, the sense of existence of their subordinates becomes weaker.
For example, Bai Yi, whether it is strategy or absolute strength, is at the top level. Moreover, Bai Yi still has his own ideas, and once he makes a decision, he is very decisive, and other people can only help from the side at most.
However, Gu Huai didn't feel dissatisfied or frustrated. An excellent leader is much better than a waste. Anyway, he didn't have the idea of being called a counselor but actually holding power. In short, Gu Huai knew the limits of propriety, knew when to do what, and never did that kind of taboo thing.
...
While the all-out war began, many people's eyes were still focused on the Alps. Because, Bai Yi is still undergoing transformation in this place. Whether it is Bai Yi's influence on the future battle situation or the changes in Bai Yi's body, it is worthy of everyone's attention.
Even, the latter is more interesting!
Because, one's own evolution is always the most essential theme.
Disputes in battle, alternation of power... on the road of human development, it is really not new at all. The evolution of one's own self is what matters most to one's own self. Especially, now that evolved humans have become so strange, with almost limitless potential. No one knows how far human beings can transform in the end. If it really can reach eternity like the various fantasy legends conceived by human beings, even if it is just an expectation, it will be extremely exciting.
And Bai Yi is obviously a step forward than everyone else, the changes in him are experiences that can be used for reference and learning.
Momo stayed in the Alps, obviously planning to stay for a long time. From Momo's behavior, he knew that Bai Yi's transformation would not end in such a short time.
Graves also returned to this place and took back his Noble Phantasm of Law. However, what Graves took back was only the first half of the ice thorn, and the rest of the second half had completely melted into the ice peak.
Momo watched from the side, although she didn't say anything, she had already remembered Graves' kindness in her heart. Helping Bai Yi stop a wave of nuclear bombs, and even destroying her own law treasure to such an extent, Momo knew that the favor they owed could no longer be described in words. Although he didn't say it clearly, Bai Yi taught him since he was a child that Momo was definitely not an ungrateful person, and she would definitely have to repay her in the future.
"How are you going to fix it?" Momo asked.
"What good advice do you have?"
"Two poles!" Momo said directly. After her kingdom of the underworld was damaged, she was absorbing the power of the earth to recover, but this process was very long. Graves's ice-patterned thorns are much simpler than those of the underworld, but the damage is too severe, and it must be a waste of time to repair. And the most suitable place for repairing the ice-weave thorns must be the two poles of the earth.
"The two poles, I will go there." Graves nodded.
"The ablated part of the power seems to be left in the ice peak." Momo didn't continue to talk about the restoration process. Graves knew as much about the second treasure of the law of awakening as she did.
"Well, this ice peak itself was formed by the power of the Ice Rib Thorn, so it's not surprising that there is still power left." Graves nodded.
This place is not a place to talk. After a simple conversation, the two came outside.
When leaving, Momo glanced at the ice peak that was still in the center. In just a few days, the melting snow all around gathered on the sunken ground, forming a clear and transparent lake. The glass-like ground at the bottom of the lake looks very beautiful. And the ice peak in the center stopped emitting cold air after the explosion of the nuclear bomb subsided, but gradually absorbed the cold air from its surroundings. This reverse process made the water in this lake not only not frozen, but in a slightly warm state.
Even though Graves took out the ice thorn, the ice peak still did not disappear, and it was also slowly absorbing the cold air from the outside, but the speed became very slow.
Will there be a second handle?
Momo thought about it in her heart, but she didn't delve into this issue.
Maybe a second ice thorn will form, because the ice peak itself was formed by the melting of the ice thorn. Graves obviously knew this too, but like Momo, he didn't care. Because this process is destined to be very long, at least it will take hundreds or thousands of years. After such a long time, who knows what changes will happen, it obviously doesn't make much sense to focus on this kind of stuff now.
After coming outside, a little girl about four or five years old suddenly ran towards Graves excitedly, and threw herself on him. "Dad!" The girl grabbed Graves' pants and looked at Momo warily.
"This is my daughter Lunia." Graves introduced.
Momo didn't feel surprised that such a young girl appeared here. When she was young, didn't she just run around with Bai Yi. However, the little girl's hostility is very interesting, as if she is full of hostility towards any woman who approaches her father. Momo couldn't help feeling that she didn't have such a huge hostility back then, but she was very cute.
Momo squatted down and stretched out her right hand to little Lunia.
Lunia, who was initially hostile to Momo, gradually calmed down, and then also extended her right hand. Momo's soul affinity is not a joke, even if it is not used in a special way, it is enough to make little Lunia drop her guard.
"Hi, I'm Momo!"
"Hello, I'm Lunia." It was the first time for little Lunia to meet someone who introduced herself to each other on an equal footing. Usually when other people see her, they treat her like a child.
"Call my sister to come and listen."
"elder sister!"
"Sister also has a little follower who is about your age, in another place, do you want to meet?" Momo asked.
"Another place?"
"Ningguo!" Momo said.
In fact, when Momo mentioned a place, Graves knew it was the Kingdom of the Underworld. However, Graves did not stop it. It is impossible for Momo to have any hostility towards Lunia. On the contrary, Momo invited Lunia to enter the Kingdom of Hades at this time...it should be compensation.
Lunia looked at her father, wondering if she should go or not.
"Go and see!" Graves nodded.
"Okay." Lunia immediately nodded joyfully. Playmates who are about her age, it is very difficult for them to get in touch with children of the same age.
