The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 392: Conquer the Rangers! Eliminate the Hatred! Benefit the Universe!
Soon, Paul led a group of Megacorp soldiers directly to the Hyperion. These soldiers carried several heavy Mark power armors and paraded through the city.

Seeing Paul personally leading a group of people and taking a bunch of things to find their commander, the rangers who had noticed it in advance thought that their commander was about to be rewarded by the giant company.

After all, the Rangers did a lot of work for the giant company on the planet Baysher, and even the crucial key stone fragments were obtained by them at the risk of death from being blown away by a supernova.

Now is the time to get rewarded!

As for the specific content of the reward, it is of course the most tangible thing, which is to be granted official title and honor.

After a while, Paul met Renault, Horner, Tychus and others, and formally invited them.

In order to make this trip more ceremonial, Paul also specially prepared several letters of authorization.

This made Jim Raynor and others secretly happy. Although it was a bit exaggerated, the experience was still quite good.

In fact, Renault has already made psychological preparations to officially join the global giant.

Now all this is just a natural result.

At Paul's request, Renault and other Ranger commanders all put on the latest Mark power armor, which looked particularly stylish.

Only Tychus remained motionless the entire time, wearing a peeling blue power armor, and standing there in a daze, looking a little awkward.

"Tychus, your power armor is too ugly, take it off and change into a new one." Horner urged.

He hadn't seen Tychus in any other clothes since he got out of jail, and he didn't feel bored.

"This has nothing to do with you." Tychus replied impatiently, and then pretended to glance at Paul casually.

But what he didn't expect was that Paul had been staring at him, and those sharp eyes clearly said, I'm waiting for you to take off your power armor!

Before Tychus could speak, Paul said, "Tychus, if this power armor doesn't suit your taste, we can also customize one for you."

"But before that, you have to take off your power armor so that we can measure your physical data."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was obvious that they were trying to expose Tychus' true colors!

As expected, Tychus's expression suddenly became complicated. The reason why he was controlled by Mengsk was because the power armor on his body could take his life at any time.

The problem with this set of power armor is not whether you are willing to take it off, but that you can't take it off even if you want to.

No one on the Hyperion knew his secret, otherwise Tychus would not have been able to stay here any longer.

"Thanks, but I'm used to this set of power armor, so there's no need to change to a new one."

Tychus responded bravely, trying to cover up his past secrets, but Raynor and Horner were not fools, they had already noticed something was wrong.

"I didn't expect you to be such a nostalgic person, but what I don't understand is how someone could be nostalgic for something that could take their life at any time. Isn't this ridiculous?"

Seeing that Tychus was still pretending to be calm, Paul simply pointed it out directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ranger officers all looked at Tychus, with Jim Raynor staring at the floor in deep thought with a heavy heart.

The day has come.

"What on earth do you want to say?" Tychus puffed his beard and glared, asking Paul angrily.

It’s a pity that this tough-looking but weak appearance couldn’t scare Paul at all.

"I know the content of the deal between you and Mengsk. He built a prison for you. It's really creative. Isn't he afraid that you will feel suffocated?"

Paul looked at the anxious Tychus with indifference. He did not explain the content of the deal between Tychus and Mengsk clearly because if he said it out loud.

This could easily lead to a complete fallout between Raynor and Tychus.

Because the condition of Mengsk and Tychus' negotiation was to kill Kerrigan, and Raynor happened to be a typical love-brained guy. Once he knew about this, the two of them would no longer be able to be even ordinary friends.

What Paul wants is to subdue Tychus and eliminate internal hidden dangers, not to completely ruin Tychus' reputation and turn him into a sinister villain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tychus's thoughts instantly flashed back to when he was in prison. He had just been released and felt pain and torture every day.

So he started drinking heavily, trying to numb himself with alcohol. After a long time, even Tychus himself couldn't tell who he was.

Is he Mengsk's internal lackey or Raynor's life-long brother?

In short, after that day, Tychus felt extremely depressed every day. He couldn't sleep properly unless he got drunk.

After knowing that he could no longer fool people, Tychus let out a long breath and simply admitted his secret: "Yes, I made a deal with Mengsk."

"If I want to be free and leave that dark place, I have no choice but to accept it."

Tychus felt deep down in his heart that since Kerrigan had become the Queen of Blades, even if he killed her, it would be considered as eliminating harm to humanity.

This statement can at least convince himself and make him feel better.

"I knew something was wrong with you. You have long been Mengsk's pawn, you traitor to the Rangers!"

Horner stared at Tychus with sharp eyes. No wonder he always felt that Tychus was worried these days. It turned out that he was thinking about how to betray the Rangers.

Just as Horner was about to draw his gun and confront Tychus, Raynor reached out to stop him, "Don't be impulsive, let him finish his words, we need to know the truth of everything."

Raynor looked at Tychus. Since they were destined to have such a confrontation, they might as well make everything clear to avoid unhappiness in the future.

Seeing that Raynor was willing to give him a chance, Tychus nodded and explained everything calmly: "I want to leave the prison. Mengsk asked me to kill the Queen of Blades. The terms are as follows."

Just as Paul expected, when Raynor learned that the condition for Tychus' freedom was to kill the Queen of Blades, his face suddenly darkened.

He had imagined that the condition of Tychus and Mengsk was to betray himself, but he did not expect that the person they were targeting would be Kerrigan, the person he had been thinking about.

This result is terrible.

Before Renault could respond, Paul said, "Since you admit what you did, it means you can still be saved."

"I'll help you take off this power armor, so that Mengsk won't be able to eavesdrop on our conversation through this device."

Between men, as long as they can talk things out, even the most serious consequences can be gradually alleviated.

At first Paul wanted to help Tychus hide the truth, but Tychus was able to confess, so he probably didn't care about his life or death. Rather than living in a daze, eternal death seemed to allow him to relax.

Raynor looked at Tychus in silence. In fact, he didn't hate Tychus that much in his heart. After all, before this, even he didn't think Kerrigan could become a human again.

Killing the Queen of Blades should be a great thing for humans. Without her, the Zerg's attack power would be greatly reduced.

"You can't take off my power armor."

Tychus smiled, as if he was laughing at Paul's fantasy, or as if he was laughing at himself for burying his head in the sand and pretending that everything was normal like an ostrich.

The power armor he was wearing had extremely sensitive sensors that would immediately stop the functioning of Tychus's main organs once it detected signs of dissection.

Paul didn't take it seriously and said, "It's easy to get rid of this thing. With our current cracking technology, we can easily get rid of any difficult trigger mechanism."

"Let's take a step back. Even if we really can't remove this power armor, we can still chop off your head and use the cloning chamber to rebuild a new body. This is not a very difficult task."

Paul is not bragging. The biotechnology of the world's giants has long blurred the line between life and death.

An old man who is about to die can extract his "consciousness" in advance and put his soul into a new body. A disabled person can rely on the repair force field to regrow new body parts.

As long as people are not broken into pieces, the world's giant companies can save them.

After hearing Paul's suggestion, Taike suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but he had to admit that this seemed to be his only way out.

Through these days of contact, Tychus has become certain that the Universal Corporation is a super civilization from another universe, and only they can perform such a miracle!
After thinking for a moment, Tychus nodded and agreed: "Then it's up to you. Anyway, I don't really believe that old Mengsk will really let me go."

"it is good."

Paul nodded to the soldier beside him and asked him to send Tychus to the front-line base for surgery and intercept the data information of his power armor device.

Throughout the whole process, Tychus did not make any resistance, and Renault also sincerely thanked Paul, saying that this at least gave them the possibility of starting over.

"Thank you, Paul."

Jim Raynor expressed his true feelings and said that no matter what Paul's real purpose was, at least he had always been thinking about the Rangers and for them.

"Everyone, welcome to join the Universal Corporation!"

Paul patted Renault on the shoulder, indicating to him that the matter was over, and from then on he and Tychus no longer had any grudges.

After dealing with this not-so-small unstable factor, Paul was able to lead the Ranger troops with confidence, and all the members joined the camp of the global giant enterprise.

In order to reduce management costs as much as possible, this Ranger unit will continue to be taken over by Renault, Horner and others until the end of the integrated operation, when personnel transfers will be gradually carried out.

Under Paul's leadership, the Rangers also went to the Ideal City through the star gate to take in the scenery of the planets in the universe.

When you see multiple celestial-level megastructures emerging in a star system, as well as an extremely elite array of space formations, and an endless stream of interstellar trade caravans coming and going.

The Rangers, a group of humans who had never seen the world, felt as if they were in heaven. Power and beauty were fully embodied before their eyes.

At this moment, the light of humanity blesses countless universes!

“What is this——!”

Originally, the Rangers thought that it was a fantasy for a planetary battleship like the War Moon to be able to sail in the universe, until now they saw a huge circular building.

That’s right, it is the ring world with a circumference of one billion kilometers, and it is also the largest “zoo” of the world’s giant companies. Most of the cosmic monsters will be put here for exhibition.

In the world giant enterprise, there may not be a powerful Ultraman fighting monsters, but there will be various flying monsters living here naturally and harmoniously.

And all of this comes from the "nuclear peace concept" of giant ships and cannons.

"This is your real home? Oh my god."

Even Renault, who had witnessed many big scenes, was confused and stunned at this moment, like Granny Liu who entered the Grand View Garden of the Jia Mansion for the first time.

"Technically speaking, this is our company's headquarters. My home is Caladan from the 005 universe. Now everything there belongs to the Universal Corporation."

Paul answered truthfully.

While following Paul to the Universal City, the Rangers also saw the Dyson Sphere, the Halo Array, the Matter Decompressor, and the most magnificent battleship of the giant company - the Burning Sky Divine Soldier!
Seeing the many huge structures that could be called miracles before his eyes, Jim Raynor felt for the first time how small and humble he was. For a moment, his knees began to go weak.

I couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship this miracle beyond nature.

The celestial sphere-class cube battleship at that time had the unique coldness and rationality of physics. The most subtle laws of nature were best interpreted in the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon.

Perhaps the weapons of God are often so simple and clear that the most common cube can determine the appearance design of the most powerful battleship.

The closer they got to the Ideal City, the capital of the Universal Corporation, the more Ranger warriors appeared and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

For some reason, they always felt that there was an invisible majesty and pressure that was penetrating into their hearts through the huge celestial structures.

The direct physical manifestation of this sensory feedback is to kneel down!

"It's unbelievable, I can't believe this is really a miracle that humans can do."

Renault clenched his fists, trying to calm his restless heart as much as possible. If it weren't for his strong mental strength that allowed him to hold on, perhaps he would be the same as the other soldiers at this moment.

Kneel down or fall to the ground.

Paul did not give Renault too much explanation, because even he was not very clear about how the global giant company did all this.

It could be said to be luck, but which civilization could have relied on luck to get to this point? It could be said to be hardships, but the world's giant companies have been flying smoothly all the way, and the pace of integration has never stopped.

Even the core executives of the world's largest companies cannot explain the reasons for their rise.

The answers to all these point to Li Ang, the CEO of a giant company based in Ideal City, and also to the vague ultimate mystery of the universe.

After thinking it over, Paul could only respond to the Rangers around him in silence.

At this moment, perhaps only by watching silently without saying a word can one feel the power of the world's giant companies more carefully and intuitively.
