I am the former civilized hero.

"You should know what the 'Faith Sect' is. Many of you may have received invitations, but the reason for rejecting them was not because of your mission, but because you just wanted to hedge your bets."

"Only by standing on the side of the victor can you keep what you have, or even go one step further and gain infinite life. But this is not your fault. Today's Herrschers are indeed very deceptive. They know how to give and then reap."

"In other words, you are also victims, because the Herrschers will eventually harvest you as well. They just chose an easier path."

Ryan's words were not sharp, but they were heartbreaking enough because a warrior couldn't care less.

Someone immediately retorted: "Dr. Ryan, we don't have an answer to what a Herrscher is, so your assumption may not be correct."

"Assumption? No, it is the truth, the irrefutable truth."

"Where's the evidence?"

"It will be too late when you find the evidence. Even I can't turn the tide." Ryan changed his sitting position and didn't want to waste time talking to them. "Let's stop the questioning here. It's a waste of time to talk any more. I can only cooperate with you temporarily, and cooperation can no longer satisfy me."

No one spoke, everyone was looking at the man in the high-back chair. They already understood that the final verdict of this farce was coming, and they were calculating how much benefit they would have to pay to satisfy the other party.

"The Fire Chaser Council will remain, but the decision-making power, the control over the Fire Chaser Moth, and your respective industries will be handed over to the new chief executive. I have decided that I will be the chief executive, and Dr. Mei will be the chief of staff."

Ryan's tone did not allow for negotiation at all, which could be said to have completely destroyed "democracy", and the congressmen were all horrified.

This is not an exchange of interests at all, it is clearly swallowing everything in one gulp, which is no different from eating it all up.

Some people remained silent, obviously aware of the current situation. Some were skeptical, thinking that Ryan shouldn't be so naive. Did he really think he could get away with it by holding himself hostage?

"Dr. Ryan, you are too overbearing."

"Yes, I am so domineering. This is the power of the winner." Ryan nodded decisively.

"Oh, do you really think that by detaining us, you can control tens of thousands of factories?"

"I know you are the spokespersons for interest groups, and I don't have that many cronies to control everyone around the world."

"Then why do you propose such a condition?"

Ryan glanced at the group of big shots coldly, and said in a leisurely tone: "I know you are not convinced, and you want to endure it first, and then turn hostile as soon as you leave here, or put obstacles in the way of cooperation. When it comes to playing tricks, no one in the world is better than you."

"But since I dare to ask, I can definitely do it."

The explanation and conclusion were completely different. Everyone, including Mei, was puzzled and wondered if this man had gone crazy. At this moment, light footsteps sounded from the back door. The congressmen, who had already been frightened, turned around quickly and saw the two girls.

Sakura, who had long fox ears, walked in front, holding a long sword in her hand. Her murderous intent made people retreat. Aponiya, who was dressed in a nun's uniform, followed closely behind, looking around with compassionate eyes.

The parliamentarians were puzzled. Was this an attempt to intimidate with force or to use a beauty trap?

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard an extremely gentle voice.

"Please sit down and keep quiet."

The voice was very gentle, and not as aggressive as Ryan's, but the congressmen all widened their eyes in horror. They found that their hands and feet were out of control and they actually sat down. What was even more terrifying was that they didn't have any resistance at all.

They did whatever the woman said, and did it happily.

This is.....

Mei's eyes widened slightly. She suddenly understood why Ryan dared to place the bet. She looked at the nun with some fear.

Abonya showed no emotion, twisting her slender waist, stepped onto the high platform made of ice, and stood beside Ryan like a maid. The man on the high-backed chair still held his head up, with a kind of confidence in control of everything in his eyes, as if he was as arrogant as a king.

"Herrs, they, and you, are nothing but my pawns." He extended his index finger and pointed at the group of parliamentarians who were sitting obediently.

"So when did you develop the illusion that you could turn against each other afterwards?"

Chapter 276 I am the Emperor??

it is finally over.

Ryan looked at the silent conference room and saw the expressionless faces, and his heart finally settled down.

All those fights and struggles were just for this step, to make the majority of the congressmen listen to Aponya's request and completely turn the situation around. From now on, they will no longer have to compete with their own people.

"That's it? It's that simple?"

Mei glanced at the silent meeting hall. Every tombstone indicated agreement, and all of Ryan's proposals were passed with more than half of the votes.

In fact, it is not difficult to do this step. Few people would be ready to die if a knife is placed on their neck. The difficult part is that the legislators do not play tricks afterwards.

"Well, it's over. They will be very obedient in the future."

"Just the few requests she made?"

"Well, just those few requests."

Mei's mouth twitched. If it weren't for her trust in Ryan and the rigor of a scientist, she would have said on the spot that he was kidding her.

"Hypnosis? Or consciousness modification? There are also psychic fusion warriors now. It's not difficult to unlock it."

"Don't worry, no one can solve it, because this thing is not hypnosis at all, but a commandment. Except for the Herrscher, no one can oppose Aponya's request."

Ryan explained, which was enough for May's IQ.

Discipline? It turned out that he had waited so long for this woman, but how could he be sure that this nun could possess the power of "discipline"?

Mei rarely felt that her brain was not enough. She was thinking too intensely and finally she just covered her head.

"Please, don't be too suspicious, Miss Mei. My ability has been tested and my position will not be a problem."

A gentle voice sounded, and then Mei's pupils shrank sharply, because her scattered thoughts were instantly retracted, as if she was being controlled by someone.

She looked at the nun with a perfect figure, and her eyes became solemn and defensive.

"Ryan, do you know what she means?"

It is no exaggeration to say that this nun's destructive power is even stronger than that of the Herrscher. Just one sentence is enough to change the future. Such a dangerous existence should be locked up in the deepest place and only released for use occasionally.

"Of course I know. Don't worry. Aponya and I have made an agreement. Without my permission, she will not use the power of the commandments because this power is uncontrollable and may become a killer or the source of destruction."

Ryan was serious, and he would not use Aponya carelessly, as one word could really cause a disaster.

Is she so obedient?

Mei looked at Aponya again, somewhat unconvinced, but had to believe it, because with her, Ryan had managed to pull off an impossible comeback.

All operations were completed within the framework of the rules. Even if there were no Herrscher or Faithists to take the blame, Ryan never acted as a traitor.

He carried out the orders of the parliament, overcame all difficulties and finally accepted the questioning, and by the way, he uncovered a heinous conspiracy. No matter how you look at it, he has done nothing wrong. As for the killing and destruction caused, they can all be regarded as misunderstandings.

Everyone is following orders. If there is a mistake, it must be the Fire Council that is at fault. They are the ones who issued contradictory orders. It has nothing to do with the executors.

Of course, the Fire Chaser Parliament also realized its mistake, decided to reform the Fire Moth, and passed the new appointment letter unanimously.

It was a very strange result, and there were inevitably various tests afterwards. However, with the "rules", no one would deny this result, because the congressmen really entrusted Ryan with huge responsibilities and power at the request.

"You really created a heinous conspiracy. Everyone will suspect it, but no one can overturn the decision. And you expected that Kevin and his team would not be able to take down the pair of Herrschers?"

"It would be the best if we can take it, but it's no loss if we can't. We have a common enemy, so even if we have doubts, we have to unite." Ryan answered slowly. The result was already determined, and he was just going with the flow.

"It's a pity those people ran too fast and couldn't do it perfectly."

"There is no such thing as perfection in the world. They are not stupid, but things have become simpler." Mei took a breath and showed a somewhat relieved expression: "The earth will be divided into two simple factions. No one will be able to bet on both sides and hold us back in secret."

"On one side are the Herrschers, Honkai Beasts, and human traitors, and on the other side are the Fire Moths. Humanity is more divided than before, but also more united."

Her words startled Sakura and Aponya, the latter of whom was just following orders without giving it much thought, but after hearing her say this, they realized that what they were doing was of great significance.

The world has gone from chaos to clarity, which is mostly beneficial no matter how you look at it, because now no one has to worry about hidden arrows from behind and can focus on dealing with the collapse.

Either a friend or an enemy, I can’t say much, but at least a lot of brain cells can be saved.

Ryan had a strange expression on his face because this thing sounded very familiar.

Dark Fusion Warrior, Herrscher, Human Traitor? And then after this, humanity will be more united and fight against Honkai under my leadership?

He glanced at the ice-blue high-back chair and felt that it had turned into a golden toilet. He instantly felt very unlucky and quickly stood up.

"Why are you suddenly nervous? Do you feel a lot of pressure? In a sense, you have become the banner and emperor of mankind." Mei added inadvertently.

Human Emperor, Emperor?

Ryan immediately moved further away from the 'throne' and frowned, saying, "I don't want to take care of those things. You can do it in the future. Anyway, you can do it better than me."

"Hey, you're quitting right after taking office?"

"I'm just putting my name on it. I'm not good at this kind of thing anyway. Besides, you don't really like working. Now there's endless work to do. Just doing research is really restricting your talents."

Ryan walked even faster. He had nothing better to do than to take over Karius's job. Even if there was no power struggle, the allocation of resources alone was enough to make a person feel overwhelmed.

"and many more......"

I'd be surprised if I waited for you.

He originally wanted to ask Mei what ability she had awakened, but when it came time to share the blame, only a fool would stay.

"I have a lot to do. I need to focus on the battle. Sakura, Aponia, you stay here. Mei, pass on the orders to the teams. I'll go and see if I can catch the Herrscher."

He spoke very quickly, and before anyone could react, he disappeared into the silent hall.

Mei couldn't catch up in a hurry, so she had to put down her raised hand and looked at Ying who was trying not to laugh: "Did I fall into his trap?"

"Dr. Mei, an organization is not just about fighting. No one is more suitable than you to control the overall situation. Besides, haven't you been preparing to take over the Fire Moth for a long time?" Ying advised in a low voice. She knew that Ryan was not simply lazy. Knowing how to use people well is the most precious quality of a superior.

"It's indeed very characteristic of you not to be attached to power, but why don't you just let me be the general manager?" Mei snorted softly.

"Because he is the only one who can unite people. You are sometimes too rational."

Mei glanced at Aponya and agreed with this sentence. If she really wanted her to decide everything, the first order would be to lock this nun in the deepest place.

Pure rationality will not go wrong, but it is not necessarily a good thing, because other people have feelings and do not want to be just numbers.

"Did you notice?"

"Ok?"

"Ryan is a lot like a combination of me and Alicia, not as eccentric, but not cruel either."

Sakura thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Yes, pure emotion will make you soft-hearted, and pure rationality will make you scary. That's why I follow him."

......

The sky and the ocean were on fire. The evaporated sea water formed steam and rolled back into the sky, and then heavy rain began to fall.

The temperature was terribly high, but somewhere on the sea surface, a large piece of ice condensed. The ice layer stretched across the sea surface, forming a wall. Behind the wall, Kevin bent over slightly, breathing heavily.

The Herrscher of Fire was very powerful, but he was still no match for them. But with the addition of the Herrscher of Death, the difficulty increased exponentially. Kevin was clearly hit by his solid punch, but he recovered in an instant, causing him to be stabbed.
