Chapter 137 I Can Show My Back Now
"According to the definition given by the Fire Moth, 'a humanoid individual who executes the will of collapse and aims to destroy civilization' is the so-called Herrscher. It should be noted that the Herrscher is born by selecting a qualified body from existing humans, and then replacing the original human consciousness with another chaotic consciousness, so they do not have human emotions. In this respect, the Herrscher and the Dead Warriors are the same. So..."
In the meeting room of the Golden Courtyard, Mikael has begun to explain the definition of the Herrscher.
He didn't finish his words. "So, once you meet a Herrscher, don't have any expectations of it. Even if it shows human-like emotions, it is definitely not a human. Its mind was destroyed the moment it became a Herrscher. The chaotic Herrscher consciousness only has some instinctive emotions and inherited some memories and subconsciousness of that body."
He could have said this, and should have said this, but if he said this, some of the following words would be inexplicable, not to mention...
Having already faced three Herrschers, I wonder if Ellie is aware of this problem...
Mikael looked at the profile of Ellisia, her still arc-shaped earlobes, and her wrinkled nose. He was a little lost in thought for a moment. The silence in the air gradually turned cold, but he enjoyed it. It was not until Ellie realized his burning gaze and turned to look at him that time began to flow again.
He touched his nose awkwardly, and Ellie smiled, as if asking again: "Hey! Were you staring at me just now? Um~ What were you thinking about?"
Ellie didn't open her mouth, but Michael's voice had already sounded in his mind. He quickly touched his nose and looked away.
"In fact, everyone here has faced the Herrscher directly, um, close contact."
Ellie's lips parted gently, and Hua lowered his head.
To the others, this sentence was obviously nonsense.
Michael didn't continue to speak, but left a small blank, letting this sentence ferment gradually in the silent conference room as time passed.
In fact, what he really wanted to express was unknown to Eden and Qianjie.
After a short silence, Eden said "ah" softly, and Qianjie turned his head and stared at Michael.
Mikael spread his hands, "Okay, now everyone knows that I am a Herrscher."
He said it so casually, as if he was talking about something insignificant like "Eating potatoes tonight."
"I..."
Eli had just uttered a word when Mikael kicked her under the table again, interrupting her rudely.
"..."
Alicia closed her eyes, and she understood-Mikael wanted her to live as a human, not a Herrscher.
As for all the possible accusations and pressures in the future, he would bear them alone.
"..."
So she fell into a long silence.
And Mikael's eyes swept over all the figures. He knew that the people sitting there, from Mobius who knew his identity first, to Eden and Qianjie who had just realized it, had always had a question in their hearts:
"Since you are a Herrscher, why would you... stand on the side of humans?"
This tone of voice showed that Hua was asking a question.
After all, she asked what she had been holding back in her heart.
"Well..."
After hearing this beginning, Hua knew that Mikael was going to stand him up again.
"I escaped from that shackles because of some relationship, so I am not a pure Herrscher - I am both a human and a Herrscher, so I have the power to choose."
It's not that he didn't want to explain this problem, but - he couldn't explain it, and there was no need to explain it.
The so-called unnecessary means that these people in front of him do have doubts, but this doubt will not affect their choice. This is also the reason why Mikael dared to disclose this secret.
Why are they willing to join this small group called Anti-Entropy?
There is no need to say much about Alicia and Padu. In Mikael's opinion, the reason why Velvi and Mebius are willing to join is purely out of curiosity.
Ying is because she doesn't agree with some of the practices of the Fire Moth, and the only bargaining chip that Vashak can tie her up - the bell, was also cut off by Mikael.
Hua is because she has nowhere to go.
Eden is because he believes in Ellie.
And Qianjie was "persuaded" by Mikael.
So to be precise, the only one who cares about this issue the most is Hua.
"Hua, in fact, it is meaningless to pursue the heart. If a person with a bad mind can suppress his evil thoughts and do only good things in his life, then is he a good person or a bad person?"
"...So, what you mean is, we should judge by deeds instead of heart?"
Her brows were furrowed, and she was obviously still struggling with something.
Mikael could only sigh: "Hua, I promised to tell you, and I will tell you. But there are some things that you can't understand even if I tell you now... Let time ferment slowly."
Similarly, this sentence seemed to be said to Hua, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present in some strange way, even Mobius, who had fallen into a coma since the beginning of the meeting, was awakened.
"Tsk! Isn't it just a word? Is it necessary to use power?"
She made a harmless sarcasm, but also indirectly expressed her attitude.
Then came Sakura. She finally no longer suppressed her aura. "Compared with the so-called choice between Herrscher and human beings, I believe in my own judgment - even if you are a Herrscher, you always fight against Beng." The first line of bad things, so I believe you and believe you are a good person.”
"snort!"
Qianjie was the third one to express his stance, which was completely beyond Mikael's expectation. Even though he hummed loudly, since he didn't take action, it meant he acquiesced.
"Sigh... I really didn't expect to be involved in such a troublesome thing at first, but now that I'm here, I can't run away, right? But Mikael, when the day comes when Honkai is defeated, you can Hand over the core obediently, I have been waiting to make the first divine key, and I have already written fifteen editions of the plan!”
"Huh..." Hua's face gradually became lighter: "Then it's settled, Mikael, I'll wait for the day when you tell me everything."
Ai Liduo glanced at Hua, who seemed a little confused.
"So... I don't have to express my opinion, right? I'm always with my good Mikael!"
"Hey! Ellie!"
She squeezed Mikael's hand in front of everyone.
He struggled symbolically, but failed to withdraw his hand. Instead, under the naked gaze of everyone, his cheeks heated up rapidly, almost burning.
"Haha... Since Aili believes in you, then I naturally believe it."
"I knew you would say that, thank you, my good Eden!"
Mikael's free hand touched the top of his head unnaturally.
"Sister Paduo! Sister Paduo! You are the only one left!"
Although Xiaoling didn't understand what everyone was talking about, she still reminded Pado responsibly.
"Ah! What happened! Did Boss Mikael say something just now?"
So...you didn't listen the whole time, right...
Mikael gently pulled out his hand, and this time, Ellie didn't stop him.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The dark and thick curtains were like curtains, blocking all light.
"Then, 'anti-entropy' is officially established!"
There is no need to say anything else, or even to design any system. Everyone understands that Mikael is the well-deserved leader of this organization.
Although not everyone recognizes his leadership ability, he is undoubtedly the most powerful one and is also the intersection of relationships between everyone in the organization.
After going round and round, I finally established such a small organization, which is completely incomparable to the anti-entropy of the post-civilization era.
But Mikael was already satisfied - at least in this small, simple conference room, he could safely and boldly turn his back to them, which was undoubtedly a luxury for him half a year ago.
To say that he is high-spirited, that's a little bit.
He also plans to make some suggested regulations on this to facilitate future organizational operations. Of course, it is also necessary to make an appointment with Mebius...
But before that…
He closed his eyes, opened the curtains suddenly, raised his hands in the air, and shouted:
"Everyone, the sun is rising!"
"..."
It seemed a little too quiet behind him. Mikael opened his eyes and took a look——
Where did the floor-to-ceiling windows come from?
This is a wall!
"Vilvi! Where did you spend all the funds!"
"boom!"
Everyone in the conference room was stunned. The violent impact came from outside.
Mikael's shouts and curses still echoed in the conference room, but his figure disappeared immediately.
