My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 160 Cooperation with the Church

Eve frowned, her delicate face showing a serious expression.

The reason for that expression is actually quite simple.

The church's response to the calamity of the foolishness was somewhat unexpected for her.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that such a response was reasonable and without fault.

According to Sophia, the church claimed it would cooperate with the empire to eradicate the calamity of foolishness and eliminate security threats.

On the surface, it seems like they are genuinely concerned for the people.

All I want to do is eliminate this ticking time bomb of folly and disaster, so as to give the people peace of mind.

After all, there are very few examples of cooperation between the church and the empire, and even the citizens of the empire rarely see such cooperation.

They are all playing their respective roles in their respective fields.

However, if cooperation is involved, then a major crisis is usually faced.

Some older citizens of the empire know that the last time the church cooperated with the empire was when an extraterrestrial monster race invaded.

Fifty years ago, monsters broke through a breach on the border and wreaked havoc within the empire.

That year, wherever the Warcraft went, the air was filled with the strong smell of blood.

The church then partnered with the empire to hunt down the monsters that had invaded the empire.

Although the monsters that were ravaging the empire were eventually eradicated.

However, a small number of them remain hidden in the mountains and forests, occasionally venturing out to launch attacks.

Fifty years have passed since that incident, yet it has left its mark on history.

But now, the Church is once again proclaiming its desire to cooperate with the Empire to eradicate the calamity of foolishness.

Having learned from the example of the monster invasion, the older citizens naturally felt that the calamity of fooling around, like those monsters, would cause unimaginable casualties.

Amidst this panic, the terrifying reputation of the foolish calamity was naturally spread once again.

Those who had slipped through the net in Su Tu's plan to make a name for himself have now learned of the oppressive power of the four calamities of foolishness and disaster through the spontaneous dissemination of information by the people of the empire.

This was something Su Tu hadn't expected, but it was also a great thing.

In any case, they can take advantage of the church's claim to cooperate to launch another wave of fame-making plans.

But for the empire, this was a very difficult matter.

This is why Eve looked so serious after hearing Sophia's description.

There was no other way; the Church had publicly invited cooperation this time, and the Empire had no choice but to accept.

To refuse would mean disregarding the lives of one's people.

The original plan to use the calamity to shake the foundation of the church will instead shake the foundation of the empire in the capital due to the refusal to cooperate.

If the church were to subtly give this matter a push, it would soon spread beyond the capital and shake the foundations of the empire throughout the country.

If they cooperate, then the empire will inevitably have to fight against the calamity of foolishness.

If he becomes displeased and retaliates within the empire, then both the church and the empire will have to bear the risk.

Originally, the Empire and Su Tu would have benefited, but with the Church's declaration of cooperation, the Empire became the loser, leaving Su Tu as the sole beneficiary.

Moreover, it's a win-win situation, meaning winning twice.

"Sophia, hasn't Father sent anyone to deliver a message?"

Eve frowned, her gaze fixed on Sophia, eager to know her father's response.

However, Sophia had been staying here ever since she reported the news, and she had no idea whether the king had sent any messages.

Even if the king did send someone over, she wouldn't be able to get the news immediately.

So under Eve's gaze, Sophia didn't say anything, but simply shook her head gently.

This is enough to show that Eve's mind is in turmoil, and she has forgotten that Sophia has been here all along.

However, the king did indeed send someone with a message, and it was sent at the fastest possible speed.

"Your Highness, the King has sent someone to request an audience."

Outside the door, the guard's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the gradually falling silence inside the room.

Eve suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on the door of the room, and she made a slightly excited sound.

"Let him in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a figure dressed in black walked in.

He wore a mask, leaving only his eyes visible, making it impossible to see his face.

Eve, however, knew the identity of the person in front of her—her father's most trusted subordinate.

It seems the person who came to deliver the message last time has been dealt with.

Eve thought to herself, but her gaze met that of the person who was reporting the news.

"What are my father's orders?"

The man in black did not bow to the princess, but instead recounted the entire message the king had sent him to deliver.

"The King would like you to represent the Empire's high command to discuss cooperation with the Church."

Upon hearing this, Eve frowned and lowered her head in thought.

The fact that the king sent her to discuss cooperation with the church is enough to show the empire's attitude towards the church's invitation for cooperation.

The church's plan has succeeded; the empire has been successfully dragged into the mess, sharing the consequences of the calamity and the massacre of the empire's inhabitants.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the Church's losses will be greater than the Empire's.

However, according to Eve's and even the Empire's original plan, the Empire would not suffer any losses.

The only loser is the Church; the Empire will not be affected in the slightest.

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded in agreement, indicating that she understood.

Seeing this, the man in black did not linger and left on his own.

He only needed to obey the king's orders; he didn't care about anyone else.

Seeing this, Sophia knew that staying was not a good idea, so she took her leave.

Soon, Eve was the only one left in the room, sitting in a chair with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

She could probably guess that the cooperation was being discussed with the church, but she just didn't expect to be asked to take the lead.

Given the current situation, it was inevitable that the Empire would accept the Church's invitation to cooperate.

Otherwise, if the church causes harm through its folly and calamities in the future, it can shift the blame onto the imperial leadership.

It is because they did not cooperate that they were unable to kill the Foolish Calamity, which has led to his current wanton slaughter of the empire's citizens.

If such rumors were to spread, and given that the Empire had not accepted the Church's invitation for cooperation, the Empire's losses would inevitably be enormous.

It was so immense that even the king, the highest echelon of their empire, could not bear it.

Therefore, cooperation is inevitable, and the Empire will certainly not refuse.

In addition, she is currently located in Dongcheng District, and is considered to be of the highest status in this area.

From this perspective, discussing cooperation with the church this time was indeed the most suitable option for her in the past.

In the blink of an eye, she had already made up her mind, but she planned to bring one more person with her.
