Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 345: Relying on "Megatron's" methods to rule, possessing the potential to become king.
Upon hearing the mutated ape's words, the members of the Tian Shu Bureau in the distance took a deep breath, their expressions solemn. They gripped their weapons tightly, preparing for the upcoming battle. They would rather die than allow this mutated ape to invade Yun Chuan City.

But what the mutated ape said next stunned everyone.

"But you can rest assured that I will not carry out massacres after I take control of Yunchuan."

"I will reduce human working hours to six hours a day, mandate at least two days of rest per week, increase wages by 50%, and strictly control the prices of all necessities to ensure that even the lowest-income earners can maintain a decent life."

"I will allocate medical resources according to need and comprehensively reform the education system so that everyone can receive an education of equal quality."

"I will establish promotion channels so that talented people can obtain commensurate status and power."

From the perspective of the mutated apes, the primary concern of most humans is survival and their immediate lives.

As long as basic needs are met, life has "order" to follow, and there is a possibility of some or even significant improvement through "cooperation," the will to resist will be worn down by daily life.

Moreover, it had seen a video of a robot named "Megatron" in a human video, which involved various welfare policies for human rule.

It couldn't understand these things at the time, but the people in the comments section unanimously showed acceptance, joy, excitement, and even an eagerness to welcome Megatron's rule.

It was strange, so it went to find out about it later.

Then it realized that although human civilization was advanced and developed, the lives of ordinary people were not very good. Although it seemed wonderful to it as a "beast," it was different from that of humans.

Its essence lies in desire.

The resources they possess are enough to allow everyone to live an incredibly happy life, but a very small minority of them occupy a large portion of these resources, leaving only a small fraction for ordinary people.

Even if ordinary people want to earn a small share, they have to work very hard, and their work may not even be worth the effort itself.

Lies, deception, betrayal.
Between the top and bottom of what is called "Company," these things seem to have always existed.

They promised but didn't keep their word, and even tried to withhold money.

It is incomprehensible and difficult to accept.

Therefore, if it were to rule Yunchuan in the future, it would rely on the methods of "Megatron" to rule humanity.

Naturally, it wouldn't allow mutated creatures to kill humans.

Rather, it needs human help to manage other humans and even mutated creatures.

"However, I will also exploit the differences among people—class, profession, ethnicity, interests, and fears—to create mutual suspicion and internal discord, and prevent large-scale united resistance."

"Courageous people are always in the minority; the vast majority of people will keep their voices to themselves."

"So if I can gain the approval of those courageous people, once their voices have faded, there will be no more voices to be heard."

The mutated ape slowly raised its head, its amber vertical pupils gazing towards Yunchuan City.

By studying human history and the advice of artificial intelligence, it has come to understand a truth—a true ruler needs the hearts and minds of the people.

Having established this core concept, it allows artificial intelligence to develop a complete set of governance solutions based on its way of thinking.

The most crucial part of this plan is how to win over those who dare to speak out and have the courage to resist.

Although it was a difficult thing, it felt it could do it.

We trade dignity for dignity, and respect for respect.

To achieve one's goals, violent repression is always the worst option; true rule lies in making the ruled willingly accept the new order.

Moreover, its goal is to achieve unity and peace between humans and mutated creatures.

While this may harm human interests, it will not affect the interests of ordinary people. In fact, he will distribute a considerable portion of the benefits of those in power to ordinary people.

Moreover, only those mutant creatures that have truly awakened intelligence will be allowed to enter the city, receive education, and learn to think like humans.

Such mutated creatures are always rare, and their numbers are incomparable to those of humans who are born with intelligence.

Therefore, humans will not be replaced by any mutated species.

Its goal is not to turn Yunchuan City into a "city of monkeys," but to create a new world where mutated creatures and humans coexist.

In this world, mutated creatures that awaken intelligence will be educated to think like humans; while humans will have to adapt to living in cities alongside these new intelligent life forms.

Its idea is to integrate mutated creatures into humans, but to achieve this, it must become the ruler.

A moment of silence fell over the scene. No, it should be said that after the mutated ape appeared, the members of the Tian Shu Bureau were at a loss for words. A mutated creature was actually discussing its own ideology, methods of governance, and even proposing to increase their salaries and reduce their working hours right in front of them?

You know what, you really have to admit, what this guy said was actually quite tempting.

Even if a mutated creature gained human intelligence through the Human-Human Fruit, the fact that it could think of these things through the internet and artificial intelligence is terrifying enough.

However, although they were amazed, shocked, and incredulous that this mutated ape could say these things, not one of them wavered, and not one of them even believed that it could do what it said.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Regardless of whether what the ape said was true or false, or how tempting it was, their purpose in being here was not to listen to it.

Rather, they found the mutated ape increasingly terrifying.

It's not just about ability, but also about mindset, wisdom, and character.

After gaining human wisdom through a Devil Fruit, it used this wisdom to draw nourishment from human civilization, just like a true scholar, by using tools created by humans.

It is adept at using human electronic devices and can access massive amounts of information via the internet.

It studies human history, analyzes various systems, and even understands the laws governing the operation of human civilization.

Even if this is just "armchair theorizing" in some sense, this learning ability is far more frightening than its formidable military power.

In addition, its way of thinking is different from what humans have imagined in the past: that mutated creatures, after initially gaining intelligence comparable to humans, would be greedy for larger territories and more resources, and would despise other races and be hostile to humans.

Instead, it objectively views the merits and demerits of human civilization, rationally analyzes social contradictions, and even maintains appropriate respect for the strong among human beings.

This kind of pattern that transcends species limitations is remarkable even among humans, let alone mutated organisms.

Its ability to dominate this group of mutated creatures is not solely due to its own strength.

It should be noted that although the intelligence of mutated creatures is stronger than before the spiritual energy revival, apart from some awakened special abilities related to the mind, they are not much stronger than before the spiritual energy revival.

Furthermore, different mutated species have different languages ​​and ways of communicating; there is no situation where different species can understand other species simply because they have mutated.

In this situation, subduing and ruling so many mutated creatures would be extremely difficult.

It cannot be achieved solely through military deterrence.

It must know how to communicate with these mutated creatures of different races, how to issue commands, how to establish authority, how to distribute benefits, and how to maintain order.
This is only now!

As the spiritual energy revival continues, more mutated creatures will inevitably awaken their intelligence.

This mutated ape could very well become their natural leader.

Its learning ability, intelligence, and organizational skills all foreshadow this possibility.

Even if this mutated ape doesn't set its sights on Yunchuan City, but rather on the territories beyond the city, it could still establish a vast power, or even an empire, composed of mutated creatures in the near future.

This empire will not be as barbaric and chaotic as they once imagined, where the strong rise and the weak fall, but may instead be a civilization with well-established systems and efficient operations, much like human kingdoms.

At that time, humanity will not only face a group of powerful monsters, but a true competitor—an opponent that can rival humanity on every level, including in terms of strength, intelligence, and civilization.

This mutated ape has the potential to become king!
That's why, even though the chances are slim, they must stop it here!
Seeing the human warriors in front of it still gripping their weapons tightly and adopting a posture of fighting to the death, a hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the mutated ape.

It spoke slowly, its voice filled with obvious doubt:
"The most powerful human in Yunchuan City has already been defeated by me, so why do you still resist?"

"In the battle just now, you should have realized the gap between me and you; your resistance was nothing but meaningless sacrifice."

“I don’t want to carry out senseless slaughter, and I have clearly expressed my purpose and plan—you should take this information back to Yunchuan City and discuss it with your decision-makers.”

The mutated ape paused here, then continued:

"The most reasonable approach is to reach a consensus with me while minimizing casualties on both sides."

"You probably don't want me to forcibly seize control of Yunchuan City through force, killing, and death, do you?"

"Your all-out resistance may demonstrate your courage and determination to fight to the death, but it will only lead to the deaths of more innocent people."

"Isn't the duty of the Tian Shu Bureau to protect the people?"
