Chapter 869 - Federation of Light, Do You Think Im Invisible? (2/2)
“Your Excellency Psyker, should we really not control the negative public opinion on the web?”
Psyker shook his head and said, “That isn’t necessary. The citizens need an avenue to vent the humiliation and anger in their hearts. When they are done venting it, they will remember the contributions that I have made, and we can guide the public opinion back in the right direction subtly when the time comes.”
“This isn’t beneficial to your prestige,” someone said with concern.
“There will definitely be a rebound effect when it reaches the peak.” Psyker sighed. “Regardless of worship or hatred, it will definitely slide in the other direction when it reaches the peak. When public opinion reaches the peak, there will be more and more people speaking up for me. That will be far more effective than trying to manage the situation now.”
“Is this really good?”
“There isn’t anything bad about it.” Psyker let out a long sigh. “My previous contributions cannot be an excuse for my mistake. The greater my radiance, the greater the shadow. My mistakes have naturally been highlighted. I do not want everyone to praise my good deeds. This humiliation will be motivation for our citizens.”
“We are only afraid that you will be disappointed in us,” one of his aides said.
Psyker was the leader of the Star Pupil Holy Race, but after becoming a Beyond Grade A, Psyker himself was no longer part of the Star Pupil Holy Race. This was a shadow in the hearts of many.
“Don’t worry. I will never forget my mother clan.”
Psyker shook his head. As a Beyond Grade A, his ideals would not be so easily shaken.
“The world is complicated, and I will never judge the world by looking at a small corner of it. The words of a small group cannot represent the entire race. At the very end, all these people will realize that regardless of how they curse, I will still be their leader, and this is something that they are unable to change.
“As for the current storm now…”
As Psyker spoke with a smile, a trace of fatigue could be seen in his eyes.
“Fire will burn out, and the storm will end eventually. We just need to do our job and wait for it to cease naturally.”
…
“The Star Pupil Holy Race has given in.”
On the mother planet of the Arcane Church, Psyker’s press conference was displayed in the conference room. The Bishops then fell into a moment of silence.
After a long while, one of the bishops said with a hoarse tone, “This way, the dynasty’s attitude should ease up slightly, right?”
Psyker had cut off his connection to the Evolution Cube and lost the ability to locate it. The Arcane Church had also decided to give up on the Evolution Cube for good.
“How is the discussion with the dynasty coming along?”
“The dynasty only agreed to allow us to ransom Mercer and Dylan. Their price is extremely high.”
“Hmm, pay the ransom for both of them first. This will satisfy the allies who are watching. As for Taylor and Sagman, the dynasty will not allow us to ransom them back too quickly, but our allies will understand.”
“Where is Ninjia?”
“He has already escaped through a secret stargate set up by our spies. He will be back soon.”
“Thankfully, the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter is with him.”
The Bishops then heaved a sigh of relief.
Of the six Beyond Grade As that they had sent out, four had been caught, one did not have anywhere to run, and only one managed to return to the Central Galaxy. Thankfully, the only one who returned was the one with the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter.
The Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was even more important than a Beyond Grade A in the eyes of the upper echelons. New Beyond Grade As would be born over time, but every Universal Treasure was unique.
Not losing the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter was their biggest consolation.
…
Because the Crimson Dynasty was searching the entire Shattered Star Ring, the spy could only construct the secret stargate in a desolate universe belt near the Shattered Star Ring.
A spaceship was currently rushing toward the stargate with Ninjia inside.
The stargate appeared within his sights, and Ninjia heaved a sigh of relief.
After entering this stargate, he would be able to skip past a few Star Fields and return to the Central Galaxy. After running for his life for such a long time, he could no longer endure such a life.
Hum!
Right at this moment, the spaceship trembled, and the engine of his spaceship was suddenly turned off.
“What’s going on?”
Ninjia was startled, and he tried to control the spaceship. However, all his orders were completely useless, and the spaceship did not react at all.
The body of the spaceship suddenly shook.
Rumble!
A gigantic pressure crushed down from all directions, and the spaceship was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Bang!
A spherical protective shield then appeared from within the wreckage of the spaceship. Ninjia covered himself with a magical shield and held onto the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter while observing his surroundings carefully.
Could it be that the dynasty had discovered the stargate and set up an ambush‽
Right at this moment, a voice rang in his head.
“It truly wasn’t easy to find you, ‘Divine Spell’ Ninjia. Hand over the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter, and I can let you go.”
As the voice sounded, the universe around him lit up with the light of hyperdrive, and many silhouettes appeared before him, filling the entire region.
Many pairs of expressionless eyes were fixed on Ninjia.
At the very front was a tall figure with his entire body shining with electrical bolts. The engravings on his body showed that this was a mechanical host.
Ninjia’s expression changed abruptly upon seeing the person before him.
“Manison‽”
