The Seventh Base - Chapter 1335: 94: Takeover
Capítulo 1335: Chapter 94: Takeover
Capital Star, the people’s hearts are uneasy.
Emperor Star, once the main star of the Empire, even after the Empire’s division, still remains in the universe’s collective memory as a place of control over the Empire.
Now, the ruler of Emperor Star, Lin Qinghe’s personal expedition, feels like a royal campaign.
This battle will undoubtedly exhaust Emperor Star’s power. How can one resist?
Moreover, it is rumored that Emperor Star has gathered forces from all directions, intending to reassemble the Alliance Army to launch a fatal attack on the O’Brian Republic, with the goal this time being its destruction.
For a while, many voices emerged on the Republic Capital Star hoping the Mystic God Temple would completely take over the O’Brian Republic and be responsible for the Capital Star’s defense power.
These voices are even expanding continuously, influencing more and more people.
Many Transcendents want to enter the Mystic God Temple.
Clearly, the impact of the great war years ago has never faded; the people constantly remember how the Mystic God once saved the Capital Star, and thus believe it can do so again this time.
The commotion on O’Brian Star is growing, even showing signs of confusion, and the Mystic God Temple has also begun to be busy.
“Mystic God, what do you think about this war?” Xu Mo asked at the Mystic God Temple.
The screen in front changed, and a virtual figure appeared, saying: “Lin Qinghe’s combat power has probably reached the peak levels in the universe, and with the amplification of the Empire’s treasure, the Origin Sword, from the battle between him and you, it’s clear that Lin Qinghe poses a strong threat, with the ability to influence the outcome. Additionally, Emperor Star has multiple Destroyer Level figures who can cooperate with the fleet in an attack, capable of penetrating the Space Base’s interior. With Lin Qinghe’s capability, he can control the base humans.”
“Therefore, the best strategy is for everything on O’Brian Star to be completely controlled by machinery instead of humans.”
“So, Mystic God, you intend to control the O’Brian Republic Capital Star?” Xu Mo asked.
“Yes.” Mystic God replied.
Xu Mo fell silent; it seems Senior Sister Vera’s concerns are valid, as Mystic God clearly indicated to him the plan to control the O’Brian Republic Capital Star.
But then, would the O’Brian Palace and the O’Brian family, as well as the high-ranking forces on O’Brian Star, allow Mystic God’s absolute control?
If so, they would lose everything.
“What are you thinking?” the illusory figure asked Xu Mo.
“Nothing much,” Xu Mo replied.
“Human complex emotions sometimes affect the judgment of the essence of things. Facing this war threat, if left to O’Brian Palace to control the situation, there will not be a slightest chance of victory; O’Brian Star will definitely be breached. Now, I’m just making the right choice.” the virtual figure continued.
“Indeed.” Xu Mo agreed, but precisely because of complex emotions, humans are humans. The Mystic God was once human too, but having become a Super Intelligence, the human aspects of the Mystic God have been continuously weakening, increasingly resembling purely Intelligent Body life.
Then, what direction will he ultimately evolve into?
“What if there is resistance?” Xu Mo asked.
“Naturally, eliminate the resistance.” Mystic God responded, “Of course, O’Brian Star’s resistance forces won’t be too strong. If O’Brian Star is destroyed, all human life on the planet would be threatened. They should know how to choose.”
“Mystic God, try not to harm humans as much as possible.” Xu Mo said.
“Alright.” Mystic God responded.
Xu Mo did not say much more; he was very clear on certain facts.
Firstly, Mystic God’s words were correct; in terms of defense effectiveness, Mystic God controlling the star is the best strategy.
Secondly, the current O’Brian Palace essentially no longer has the ability to compete against the Mystic God Temple.
With the development over the years and the influence of the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo clearly knew one fact, that the Mystic God Temple is now the true ruler of O’Brian Star.
Moreover, the mechanical army created by Mystic God should be completed, and he himself might have also completed the construction of his mechanical body.
Even Osman O’Brian may not be able to stop Mystic God now.
Days later, a message was released by the Mystic God Temple on the O’Brian Republic Capital Star, stating that in response to the war, the Mystic God Temple needs to control all military operations of the O’Brian Republic, with cooperation from the O’Brian Republic Government.
This news caused an immediate uproar, shaking the entire O’Brian Republic Capital Star.
The majority of citizens support the action by the Mystic God Temple, and some even hope it replaces O’Brian Palace as the ruler of the O’Brian Republic, with many issuing petitions urging O’Brian Palace to transfer power.
Of course, there are also many opponents who believe that the Mystic God Temple has overstepped.
O’Brian Palace, as the government of the republic, has not made any mistakes and has always been responsible to the citizens. Although the Mystic God Temple is a cultivation force, it has expanded to possess strong influence, but logically should cooperate with O’Brian Palace in war preparations, with the highest command authority still belonging to O’Brian Palace, with Mystic God Temple in assistance.
Otherwise, if the rules are broken, the future becomes uncontrollable.
However, given the context of war, the number of supporters for the former exceeds that of the latter.
The Mystic God Temple’s complete control of O’Brian Star seems inevitable.
Outside the O’Brian Palace, large crowds gather daily, demanding that the Palace consider all humanity on the planet and transfer its power.
Inside the O’Brian Palace, in the great hall, many people argue angrily.
“The Mystic God Temple has developed over the years, and we never stopped it. Now, with strengthened wings, it wants to directly replace the O’Brian Palace. What exactly is the Mystic God’s ambition?”
“The Mystic God is already an Intelligent Body. It’s uncertain if it considers things from a human perspective. What do those ignorant fools outside know?”
“Leader, we must take action to limit the Mystic God Temple. If things continue like this, it will be completely out of control.”
The arguments continued below the great hall. Osman O’Brian looked at them and spoke, “If we were to clash with the Mystic God Temple, what would happen to O’Brian Star?”
At Osman’s words, an instant silence filled the room. With Lin Qinghe leading the Emperor Star Fleet on an expedition, if an internal war broke out on O’Brian Star, all that would await them would likely be destruction.
“Has the Mystic God Temple not considered this?” someone asked.
“Perhaps in the Mystic God’s view, we pose no threat,” Osman replied. He also knew something of the Mystic God Temple’s strength, especially that the Mystic God now might have become a Monster-level existence.
“Mr. Osman.”
Suddenly, a voice echoed, startling everyone in the O’Brian Palace’s great hall. Then they heard the crackling of electronics within the hall.
Their hearts pounded; the Mystic God had already invaded the O’Brian Palace’s systems.
Currently, O’Brian Star seemed to hold no secrets from the Mystic God.
Osman appeared calm and said, “Mr. Mystic God.”
“For the safety of human life on O’Brian Capital Star, the Mystic God Temple will take over the O’Brian Republic Government.” The Mystic God spoke, “This will allow O’Brian Star’s energy to be utilized to its fullest extent.”
“Mr. Osman, please make a decision within three days, issue the orders and grant all permissions. Once the Mystic God Temple assumes control, the O’Brian Palace will continue to operate normally, but all authority will be under the unified command of the Mystic God Temple.”
After speaking, the voice disappeared as if the Mystic God had left, as though it had never appeared.
The great hall remained silent for a moment, confirming the Mystic God’s departure. One person angrily shouted, “The Mystic God Temple has gone too far.”
“Leader, we cannot do this,” someone said.
The crowd began speaking up, extremely angered. Osman looked at them and said, “Let’s disperse for now.”
With that, he got up and left. He, too, needed time to think.
This war would determine the fate of the O’Brian Republic and the life and death of the Capital Star’s citizens.
Days later, Osman issued a statement from the O’Brian Palace.
During the war, the O’Brian Palace agreed to hand over its authority to be managed by the Mystic God. The Palace would remain operational, cooperating with the Mystic God Temple in all war efforts.
Osman urged the public to cease internal conflicts and unite against external threats.
The news shook the planet.
Supporters of the Mystic God Temple rejoiced, while some of Osman’s supporters lamented the leader’s sacrifice of power for the greater good. Others resented it, viewing it as a coup by the Mystic God Temple.
However, with Leader Osman personally willing to step down, resistance seemed futile.
From that point, O’Brian Capital Star came entirely under the control of the Mystic God.
Subsequently, the Mystic God Temple announced its takeover of the government and called for war preparations. All companies, families, and individuals with military equipment were required to comply unconditionally, channeling resources into war preparations.
Because of this, many riots erupted on the Capital Star, yet they were swiftly subdued with little consequence.
In such wartime conditions, everything had to serve the war effort.
The Mystic God Temple’s approval rate soared, fostering a fervent atmosphere, with the Mystic God revered as a Totem and god.
As time passed, the latest news arrived.
The Emperor Star’s fleet had reached the O’Brian Republic’s borders, while fleets from the Church, Saint Tiya Star, and other forces returned after departure due to threats from the Coriade Star Domain and the Abyss Fleet, necessitating a return for military defense.
In reality, they were likely unwilling to deploy an Alliance Army, preferring Emperor Star and O’Brian Republic to weaken each other. This was, after all, a continuation of the previous Emperor Star incident.
This time, with Lin Qinghe’s personal expedition, Emperor Star carried a strong resolve to capture O’Brian Republic.
Under such circumstances, would Emperor Star and Lin Qinghe consider retreating?
Power plays between forces in the universe question only where interests lie.
