My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Xue Dinglu touched his chest, where there were hardly any grains of sand left in the flowing sand.

However, this Noble Phantasm had indeed been of great help to him before, both as a backup hidden energy source in battle and as a tool that could simulate emotions.

However, he only now realized that this thing was not a treasure of the Starship Corps, but came from a neutral organization called "Masquerade," and that this organization was actually the headquarters of the Void Forces.

Xue Dinglu scratched his head. He already thought the Void was a trap enough, but he never expected that the people who possessed this thing would actually form a large headquarters...

"It's probably not quite what you think. The masquerade ball, also known as the costume ball, is a gathering of people who have been ravaged by the void and come together for warmth. Some of them were accidentally corrupted by the void, while others received the inheritance of others and unintentionally gained power over the void, thus sinking deeper and deeper into it. After realizing that something was wrong, they wanted to fight against the influence of the void, and thus spontaneously formed an organization," Captain Singal said.

"You can think of it as a gathering place for a group of patients suffering from a disease called 'nihilism'."

Is it a gathering place for patients?

Xue Dinglu suddenly felt that he didn't need to go there anymore. His illness should be almost cured. After taking Mephisto, his overall condition should have recovered to about 70-80%...

"Don't think you're doing well right now. At best, you're just experiencing a brief resurgence," Captain Singal warned. "If you delve deeper into the power of authority now... you might turn into a twisted monster like the Apostles!"

Xue Luding was stunned for a moment. He realized that the interstellar column did not know that he had already become an apostle. Although his apostle was a fake apostle in someone else's skin, he now understood the danger of this matter once again.

And deep within, the void monster shaped by that twisted, gaping abyss...

A disordered, twisted, shaking, chaotic monster without facial features...

If I really become an apostle, then that thing might become my true form, right?

Xue's Law even had the mood to think that way.

"By the way, hurry up and take care of these trivial matters here. I've finished installing the planetary teleporter. Everyone will need to hide underground, otherwise the tearing force of this planetary teleportation will rip the souls of any living being to shreds," Captain Singal said.

"Clean up this mess as soon as possible. You'll need the power of the world's authority to power the planetary teleporter in the end. We can't afford that level of consumption unless the Mimic King comes."

"So let's resolve this quickly, and then fully utilize the planet's own power to achieve intergalactic planetary teleportation."

……

Having agreed with Captain Singal to quickly resolve the trivial matters, and also to attend a masquerade ball after this incident, Xue Law began to clean up the mess in this world.

In fact, Mephisto's resurrection was just a minor incident; Xue's Law was waiting for the nobles to move their entire families to Tulip City.

Now, the relocation of the nobles seems to be almost complete, although many families still like to diversify their investments, for example, by sending most of their branch family members to other places to stay, while a small number come to Tulip City.

Whether it was the cunning of these nobles, or the fierce infighting within their families, that made their main family only think about taking the cake for themselves, it didn't matter anyway, Xue's Law would send them to the guillotine one by one.

"Leader, the guillotine is ready," a member of the Akatsuki organization said.

Although Xue Zhiqian is no longer in the body he possessed before, everyone recognized him as the leader the moment he appeared in the Akatsuki organization.

It's as if I've become something indescribable. Even though I've possessed others, their perceptions are also being altered and corrupted. Even those who knew the original owner will call him "Xue Law" instead of his real name.

Whether this kind of cognitive pollution is good or bad is unknown, but at least for now it still provides a lot of convenience for Schrödinger's Law.

"I see, right? It's the improved guillotine, isn't it?" Xue asked casually.

The guillotines in this world are all old-fashioned guillotines. Xue Lude thinks that these things are too inefficient. He will be beheading a lot of people, and the guillotine will get stuck after only a few strikes.

Therefore, Schrödinger's law improved the guillotine, making it a triangular blade, and at the same time, it became a new type of guillotine that utilized gravity and pulleys. Louis XVI used it and everyone praised it.

Naturally, members of the Akatsuki organization will collect information on the scandals of these mystical nobles, and all of this will eventually become weapons to kill the nobles and break their shackles.

The day arrived quickly, when these mystical nobles, especially those from the former Singing Society, came to visit.

Some of them were families who invested in Mephisto's upbringing, some were Mephisto's friends, and some were her classmates, who were also Faust's former students.

These people formed the former Praise Society, and they became the rulers of this world.

Now that Mephisto is dead, not a single person is seeking revenge for her. Instead, they keep saying things like, "It's good that she died, she should have died long ago..."

Xue Lude took a deep breath. This world was so decadent. Mephisto wanted to use delaying tactics to completely integrate the power of the Divine Tree and thus achieve sublimation. However, she did not know that everything she did was a devastating blow to her own world.

When compromise becomes the norm, there will be no longer any courage to resist.

Mephistopheles was like that, Faust was like that, and even these mystical nobles were like that…

Even Faust, who, in Xue's view, was full of compromise and weakness, was already the most rebellious person in the world.

Aside from Faust, it was actually the children of the lowest-class prostitutes who still retained some sense of rebellion.

Xue's Law is not actually a black-and-white person. Just as he doesn't necessarily want every world to conform to his wishes, since the development of each world is different.

Just like in the real world, Xue's Law would think that capitalism and religious systems are rotten to the core, a birth within a birth.

However, in a world where serfdom still exists as a whole, Xue's Law would think that capital and religious systems are actually not bad, at least they have made progress, and that capital still cares about the surplus value of the lower classes, and religion still cares about the faith of the lower classes.

In such a comprador world, Xue's Law might even give rise to the illusion that serfdom might actually be acceptable.

Just like the old Demon Emperor's homeland, although it resembled a large gathering of tribal slaves, it was still more pleasing to the eye than the mystical nobles of this world.

If any loyal and righteous individuals emerge from this group, even those seeking revenge for Mephisto, Xue's Law would hold them in higher regard.

At this moment, through the authority of the planet, he could also hear the fierce arguments and struggles among the mystical nobles.

"Your Hales family was originally a member of the Praise Society, but now you don't even dare to avenge the old gods?"

"Heh, you're also from a noble family appointed by the Old Gods to control the coast, so why haven't I seen you avenge the Old Gods?"

"And the Alban family, they were staunch allies of the Old Gods, but now they've surrendered too! How can we nobles display our qualities by associating with such vermin!"

"The New Gods were originally members of the Alban family, and we have always been loyal to them. If anyone slanders the Alban family again, I will turn against them!"

“We must unite and reclaim all the power to manage the people in the hands of the new god. The new god only needs to improve himself. Let us shoulder the burden of more than a hundred cities in the world. Even if our advice displeases the new god and we are killed by him, it will be worth it, as it will provide a better future for other family members.”

"Oh my god, this is terrifying! Offering advice actually requires bloodshed and sacrifice? Then I'm not participating..."

……

Words of secret plots among nobles reached Xue Luding's ears, causing him to furrow his brows and even sweat profusely.

There shouldn't have been even the slightest bit of illusion about these people, still fantasizing that they could produce some loyal and righteous individuals, even those blindly loyal enough to earn Xue's respect... Indeed, the mystical aristocracy is still too urbanized...

After they finished their discussion, an intelligence officer suddenly exclaimed, "A new god has arrived! A new god has arrived!"

The group of mystical nobles immediately straightened their backs and began preparing some advice.

To their surprise, Xue Dinglu interrupted them, saying, "It's almost time. Everyone, follow me to Caishikou."

"Hmm, ah?" The mystical nobles were all stunned. They didn't understand why they had to go to the execution ground, but since it was the new god's request, they were happy to go.

Is this a formal investiture ceremony announced to the world?
Some nobles secretly began to make their own plans.

To their surprise, when they arrived at Caishikou, they found that it was not an altar for bestowing titles upon nobles, but several towering execution scaffolds, and even many people they considered lowly people were watching from below Caishikou.

"It's noon. Begin the executions!"

"The Alban family, which controls 514 criminal organizations, has provided a total of 5141 million people with its resources, and has forcibly turned 1.7 million people into prostitutes, is now sentenced to beheading—the entire Alban family!"

At that moment, all the mystical nobles who had just been brought over by Xue Dinglu were in an uproar.

"New God, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

“Our Alban family helped you when you were at your weakest, and you, ungrateful wretch, betray your own family!”

"New God, no nobles are subject to punishment. Are you trying to make enemies of the whole world?"

All the mystical nobles panicked instantly. They realized that the new god was not there to bestow titles upon them, but to completely wipe them out here!
A cold sweat instantly soaked their foreheads. These mystical nobles were utterly terrified. They had always been high and mighty, even afraid of the slightest bloodshed, and now their entire clan was to be sent to the guillotine. How could this be? How dare this new god!

The nobles were furious, and then began to plead desperately, praising Xue's Law and cursing Mephisto. They claimed that they had been deceived by Mephisto, who demanded a certain number of women from them each year, which they had no choice but to comply with.

Even the members of the Alban family knelt directly in front of him, fawningly trying to lick Xue's shoes, seemingly thinking that this would make them go free.

“Execute him,” Xue Dinglu said directly.

No matter what methods they used to flatter or what lies they told, it was all in vain. After all the members of the Alban family, whether main members or peripheral members, were escorted to the guillotine and sat in a row, the other nobles completely broke down.

They began to shift from extreme flattery to extreme insults.

"New God, do you want to kill everyone? Look, he can kill us today, and he can kill you all tomorrow!"

"New God, do you think that killing all the nobles will make everyone else live better? Without the rule of the nobles, the whole world will only descend into chaos and filth!"

“Others will automatically become new nobles. Nobles can never be killed off. If you kill us today, those lowly commoners who rise to power will become new nobles who are even more wretched than us tomorrow. As long as human beings exist, nobles will inevitably exist!”

"You've killed everyone who was willing to work for you. I'd like to see what you, you brainless idiot, will do next!"

……

"Everyone, don't rush, don't rush, sit in a row, chop off heads, stomp on backs!" The Akatsuki members remained unmoved. They had already dragged out almost all of these nobles' nine generations of relatives, and they were all on their way to be escorted.

Amidst the nobles' terrified pleas for mercy and their vehement insults, "snap!"
The guillotine fell, and the severed head rolled off the platform.

The nobles felt a sense of shared fate, but just when they wanted to see the commoners stand with them against the new god, they were suddenly met with an indescribable cheer from among the commoners.

"You're next, the Hales family!"

"You will suffer retribution, New God! Your rampage will surely bring you retribution. I will be waiting for you in hell, and even if you die a thousand times worse than me, it won't be enough!" The roar of the Hals family head echoed.

"If there were retribution, you nobles would have died long ago!" The Akatsuki executioner kicked his leg, breaking the bone through the skin. The man who had been cursing just moments before was now reduced to weeping and wailing as he clutched his leg.

"Execution!"

"Crack!"

"Good, good, well done! Hah!"

The corpses of nobles formed a long line, and the public denunciation of their crimes continued into the night. The heads of nobles rolled around, and the bodies, dressed in their finest clothes, were piled up into small mountains.

These were nobles killed in front of everyone. Many more nobles were uprooted by the Akatsuki organization, which had rapidly expanded to tens of millions of members, leaving their families utterly destroyed.

Xue Dinglu only glanced at it at the beginning and then left.

Now, Xue's Law has discovered that the aristocracy of mysticism has its own rationale for existence.

Mephisto's system resembles an exploitation triangle of "colonizers," "comprador empires," and "exploiting companies," where Mephisto represents the colonizers, the mystical aristocracy represents the comprador empires, and the mafia represents the exploiting companies.

The overall structure is even somewhat similar to the East India Company's colonization of India during the Qing Dynasty.

Mephisto has acquired a large population resource, which serves as both capital for the Fourth Apostle and fertilizer for him to feed the Divine Tree. She is waiting to fully become a Marquis-level Apostle, thereby soaring to new heights of power and breaking free from the Fourth Apostle's control.

However, doing so will inevitably cause the underlying conflicts and anger to accumulate to a threshold. When the conflicts and anger accumulate to the point where an uprising is inevitable, Mephisto will support a strategy of "killing nobles and replacing them with new nobles," similar to the operations of colonists in South America and Africa. At the same time, he can also take advantage of the nobles and divert the conflicts.

The decadence of the nobility and the suffering of the lower classes create a stark contrast in the world, forcing the lower classes to place their faith in this "god" in exchange for salvation.

In other words, the nobles became Mephisto's scapegoats. Once Mephisto reaches the level of a Marquis-level Apostle and reclaims all power over the world, she will begin to purge and harvest these scapegoat nobles.

The mystical aristocracy may have vaguely sensed that they had become scapegoats, so they cleverly established a "mystical mafia" system among their subordinates, replacing the scapegoat with the mafia they controlled.

Whenever uncontrollable conflict and anger arise in a certain place, the gang is dragged out as a scapegoat, and those angry commoners are recruited into new gangs, and the cycle repeats itself.

Therefore, this constitutes the Russian nesting doll-like exploitation and oppression in this world.

Mephisto is the oppressive apex of this structure; on the surface, she is a pure and innocent goddess, but in reality, she is the greatest oppressor.

This is the necessary reason for the existence of mystical nobles and mystical gangs; everything is a government that exists for oppression.

Just like in a certain world where evil spirit masters are rampant, how can the purity and greatness of the God King be highlighted without the killing by these evil spirit masters?

……

This is why Xue's Law doesn't interfere in any affairs on Earth, even now.

He knew his skills were lacking, so he would only live as an ordinary person in his hometown. His current level of understanding was only far beyond the reach of these feudal worlds, but his vision was still too shallow for Earth.

Therefore, he will only observe the development of the Earth. He will only take action if there is a world-ending third world war or a world-ending crisis similar to the outbreak of the Divine Tree.

He knew that his level was just that, or rather, just that of an ordinary college student. He could overthrow the absurd systems of feudalism, serfdom, and tribes, but anything beyond that was beyond his capabilities.

Therefore, he has always adopted the approach of locals managing locals, without interfering himself. Even the old Demon Emperor is just a mercenary. The old Demon Emperor cannot stay in other worlds for too long. His goal is to establish a peaceful empire, so after he has completed his social structure, he will definitely return to his homeland.

When the time comes, that world will also be taken over by the team he trained.

On Earth, he only wished to be an ordinary college student, or even just stay that way forever. If he ever couldn't help but take action, it would either be because he had completely changed and wanted to pursue power, or because a crisis he could hardly imagine had occurred on Earth.

……

Now, he had to consider the underground refuge camps for people to hide in when the entire planet was teleported away. Then Xue discovered that the sewers in almost all the cities were unusually large.

I won't comment on the other aspects of the nobles in this world, but their sewers are exceptionally well-constructed. Basically, the sewers in any city can accommodate a dangerous wanderer and a Kaiju fighting a major battle.

This made Xue's Law much easier; with just a slight modification, these sewers would be enough to keep everyone hidden.

After killing the nobles, Xue Lu ordered all Akatsuki members via a link to begin sending everyone else to hide in the vast sewer system.

As for the mystical gangs?
Basically, as the Akatsuki expanded, they were kicked to death like stray dogs on the roadside. These mystical nobles and gangsters who once caused Faust so much suffering are now dying no different from stray dogs.

Their lives are actually no different from those of ordinary people.

"The teleportation device is ready. You will now take control of the planet and begin the planetary transfer," Captain Singal said.

This technology is one of the highest technologies of the interstellar fleet. It is a technology simulated by the Mimic King and requires the full assistance of the planetary consciousness to achieve teleportation. It is the highest level of teleportation that involves the entire planet.

Generally speaking, such a teleportation can essentially drain the consciousness of an entire planet. Even if a pseudo-king were to come, it would consume a huge amount of energy, making it an extremely difficult miracle to achieve.

However, Xue Luding felt relaxed because Mephisto had eaten the fruit, and the power of that fruit had greatly enriched the planet's foundation. Even though Mephisto had been eaten by Xue Luding, the planet's vegetative-like consciousness still had enough energy to carry out this teleportation.

Captain Singal's destination was not far from that star system, on the edge of the L77 Leo constellation, a region with a mild star system and no inhabited planets.

This is normal. There are very few life-bearing planets in the entire universe, less than one in a billion. This is only because many habitable planets were planted with divine trees in their primitive past, which allowed life to emerge.

In its initial stages, the Divine Tree was merely a world tree that transformed non-living planets into habitable ones...

Now, the sacred tree has become a death god that reaps lives for the apostles...

"The teleportation device has been secured. The teleportation array has begun to seal the planet's atmosphere and water to prevent them from separating. It is currently in the initial activation phase for the teleportation arrays that are spread across the planet..." Captain Singal said.

"Xue, start supplying power. Once you're ready, you can try activating the teleportation," the captain said.

Xue Lude began communicating with the Akatsuki organization, instructing everyone to prepare for teleportation.

After scanning the world with his planetary authority, he found that almost everyone had gone into hiding, except for some escaped members of occult noble families, gang members, and others who had not been notified to hide.

Xue Dinglu wouldn't care about those people, so he started to reactivate the teleportation array.

"Teleportation, target: L77 star system on the edge of Leo constellation, initiate!" (End of this chapter)
