47 Winner is the king and loser is the villain (2/2)
Not a single student replied to the question.
”Your silence speaks much more than your words do,” George said.
Every single student has a serious expression on their face as they waited for the class to start but there was one student who was scoffing inside!
Zed!
”History is nothing but a mixture of facts and fiction written by vested interest for the purpose of subtle brainwashing. I will rather be a tree without roots than a slave to the thoughts of others,” Zed mused in his heart while outside he pretended to be interested in the history.
George clicked a panel on his tablet and said,” Let us begin the class!”
[[Virtual Simulation Activated]] A mechanical voice sounded inside the classroom.
The holographic image of Earth started expanding and in no time it has covered the entire classroom. The students felt as if they were inside the real Earth instead of a hologram.
[[Before the 19th century our planet was divided into countries. The countries were mainly ruled by the dynasties and royal families]]
The students 'saw' different types of imperial and royal palaces around the world which served as the home to different powers.
[[While the kings and their families lived a pleasant life the condition of the general population was very poor.]]
The students now saw the general populace being harmed by the policies of nobility and royalty. People were starving during famines and other disasters while those of royal blood enjoyed the best delicacies the money has to offer.
[[That was an era full of sufferings and cruelty. That was an era full of oppression.]]
The students saw various political struggles around the world which would lead to wars and ultimately deaths. Even during the wars, it was the general populace who suffered the most since the battles took place throughout the country. The financial burden of the wars would ultimately affect the common people the most.
[[In such chaotic times the Evolution Comet appeared first. It leads to a change which no one could ever expect back then.]]
At the start of 1900, a strange comet passed by Earth. This comet was visible from every corner of the planet and many believed it was an omen of world-altering changes.As soon as the comet disappeared, thousands of mystic meteorites appeared in the solar system as if they have arrived after shattering the void.
Many of these mystic meteorites arrived on Earth. These meteorites contained a wonderous element known as 'Divine Particles'. The divine particles mixed with the earth's atmosphere and started the large-scale mutation of the world. Various species around the world started developing extraordinary superpowers.Humans, beasts, plants, and other species took their first big step in evolution together all thanks to the Divine Particles!
The meteorites after reaching ground created a miracle of their own. Like in the Bermuda Triangle, the meteorites created spatial cracks and opened Paradox Dimension. In Amazon Rainforest, the meteorites mutated the rainforest to such an extent that it has become an impenetrable wilderness.These meteorites created various phenomenon on Earth making many forbidden regions on Earth.
Not every meteorite created a miracle land though. Some places were turned into a wasteland where millions of people died due to the shockwave created by meteorites.
[[Further destruction was caused by the dynasties around the world. The governments started taking common people for experiments as they tried to study the mutation around the world. Conditions of people got worse now that the entire resources were spent on decoding the secrets of Evolution.]]
The virtual simulation made the students feel as if they were experiencing the tragedy on the first hand. They felt deep hatred for those dynasties who would do such cruel things to the members of their own race.
[[Just when the world was on brink of insanity, the hope arrived!]]
”The Nine Sovereigns!” Almost everyone in the classroom muttered in excitement.
[[Indeed. The Nine Sovereigns became the hope of the world!]]
From different corners of the planet, nine extraordinary mutants acted in defiance against the cruelties of the dynasties. The Nine Sovereigns lead their respective families and together they defeated the cruel tyrants.
[[In the year 1935, the nine aristocratic families met at what today is known as the Holy City. It was there the World Government was established. The nine aristocratic families acted on behalf of Nine Sovereigns and made an impartial government for all.]]
The students saw an age of prosperity after the formation of world government. The oppression was stopped and true development started. Rights were given to common citizens regardless if they were mutant or not.The focus was now on developing technology and helping everyone to develop regardless of background. The world government was founded on the principle of democracy with the nine aristocratic families only acting as the permanent members of the World Council.
[[In the year 1971, the king of Atlantis joined World Council! The harmony between humans and sea race showed just how successful the world government was in its aim of peace and development.]]
The sea race occupied most of the resources on this planet since around 71% of the earth's surface is water covered. Yet the powerful sea race joined the world government founded by the humans! The students marveled at the might of the human race!
”Fools can't even realize that this class is not focused on history but propaganda,” Zed thought with a disappointment. He marveled at the ability of government to fool people by inciting pride,patriotism and racial sentiments.
While Zed didn't know the true history, he knew enough for him to judge that world government was anything but kind!
Very few people knew that the government has sacrificed millions of people in experiments in their pursuit of strength and eternal life. The government did it in the guise of employment overseas, riots, epidemics or mining incidents which would be used to justify the mass disappearance of people. The weak and poor were forced to live in the slums with next to zero support from the government.Poor and weak were exploited by organ harvesters and brothels but the government did nothing!
”World Government is good in selling itself,” Zed thought. He has lived in the slums for most of his life so he knew the extent of development the government has done.
He didn't judge the government only due to the conditions of the slum but also due to the mining incident four years ago! Castor Damon (a level 9 officer) has forced him and hundreds of other slum dwellers for a suicide mission to find Cosmic Spark! Zed survived after fusing with Cosmic Spark but rest were not so lucky. They died in miserable ways...
”Heck, slavery is continued even in developed placed but no one ever speaks of it,” Zed thought of the things he has heard from Eva. She has told him that the nine aristocratic families have the legal rights to take slaves! Yet now world government pretended to be champion of human rights.
The virtual simulation continued with students seeing the various developments the world government has done.
[[In the current era, the biggest enemy of our peaceful civilization is 'Nation of Terror'. The Nine Sovereigns spared the lives of a few people from those evil dynasties but they didn't appreciate the kindness.]]
The remnants of the past dynasties and tyrants escaped to the southern hemisphere and established a 'nation'. Even after the formation of the World Government this 'nation' has survived.
[[This nation has carried out various terrorist attacks around the world all in the hope to turn the world into chaos but we would never let them succeed! They call themselves freedom fighters but they are only cowards!]]
”Yes!” The students shouted in unison.
Zed remained silent throughout the simulation. He didn't know if the Nation of Terror was truly as evil as the news claimed.
He has experienced on first hand as to how the media outlets have been manipulating the news so how could he judge this 'nation' based on views of others?Most people didn't even know that theWorld Government enforced strict guidelines on reporting any matter related to the 'Nation of Terror'.
”The Nine Sovereigns and the world government won the war so they become the heroes everyone rever. The past dynasties lost so they have become the heinous sinner everyone hate. History is nothing but a fiction written by the winner to glorify his deeds while demonizing the loser,” Zed thought.
”Winner is the king and the loser is the villain.”
