I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1153 The True Desires of the People Behind Tokyo
Su Wen spoke calmly.

However, his conclusion was not based on speculation, but on data he had discussed with Caroline regarding "Upside Down Tokyo".

"I didn't actually think of that at first."
But you don't think everything has gone too smoothly.

"Too smooth?"

Caroline recalled the experience of the infiltration.

They first infiltrated the sealed-off area through a advance team of bounty hunters, and then went directly down into the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway area, which was sealed off by the Night Watch.

Su Wen even completely destroyed his life signal retrieval device before sneaking into the Abyss Gate, which was protected by the resurrected individuals, for the second time.

So, Miss Hacker is a little unsure how to evaluate this:

"Do you mean that everything we do now is under the watchful eyes of others?"

"That shouldn't be the case; I should have noticed much sooner."

Hearing her say that,

Su Wen simply waved his hand:

If that's the case,

I can just restart it.

Based on my analysis, my plan should align perfectly with their expectations.

in other words,

"We benefited from the actions of certain key figures who already knew about Tokyo's plans."

"Hehe, I'm happy if you say that."

Caroline revealed a mischievous expression, like that of a little witch.
"I just enjoy taking advantage of those important people."

Deserve it.

But Tokyo is really in a bad situation.

Unexpectedly, they were not only directly abandoned, but also became the core of the power struggle between the two sides.

As for her bad intentions in not coming
Su Wen didn't complain much.
After all, he was familiar with this group of schemers, whether they came from the 'Abyss,' 'Zero-Sum Game,' 'Schlot Heavy Industries,' or even the dean of the Void Light Ferraris.

If these people are only as simple as they appear on the surface, they themselves wouldn't believe it.

Humans are complex.

Therefore, in his analysis, the scholars of the Great Library did not bring up the scenario that Tokyo was about to face, as they had done with Moscow in the past.

that is because:

For these overly rational scholars, who may not even know how many years they've lived, emotions cannot influence their decisions in most matters.

"This universe is too vast."
That is a scale so vast that even when human civilization reaches its peak, or even after its destruction, it may not be able to fully fathom it.

Therefore, even though the Great Library stores so much history and knowledge, and even though they have found information about the so-called "outside the world" and the so-called "gods,"

They still need to choose different paths.

Choosing different research directions is a common consensus in many universities.

As long as it is not completely proven to be a dead end,
Each and every one of us,

They should all be those who face the wall of civilization.

There was one more thing Su Wen didn't say.

This may explain why Dean Constance, Hewitt Sr., Salic-Fararrella, and even in Lorenzreel, all chose different paths.

Whether it was because of the apocalypse of Breeze City,

Or it was because of old Constance's tacit approval.

If Su Wen were a hot-blooded young man without a brain, he probably would have exploded at the old dean the moment old Constance didn't choose to execute Salic Ferrari.

But anyone with a brain would ponder what's hidden behind these things.

So, after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke to the massive Faust satellite consciousness cluster:
"Just like now, as in Benjamin Graham's theory of risk hedging."

According to Fausta, since even the former Cyphers was willing to diversify their investments and exhaust the resources of civilization to steal the technology of the gods and create divine monsters.

Whether it's virtualization, clustering, or the third divine abomination I'm not yet certain about, why don't you dare?

the other side,
Under Caroline's watchful eye,
The samurai who had somehow arrived before Su Wen seemed to have broken off the conversation, but the core of their story was still the ending of Tokyo.

now,

Old records from the Shimokitazawa video store, the prayers of the shrine maiden, the amulet of a girl under the cherry blossom tree...

These images echoed in Miyamoto's ears.

But in the end, it shattered into pieces the instant the blade was drawn from its sheath.
"silkworm!
You're asking for too much.

Unlike 'Spider', who wanted the city's memories to be preserved in the apocalypse and become an 'anchor' for human civilization.

You want to integrate Tokyo into your identity in order to maintain the consistency of the name "Al-Fashir".

The University of Tokyo understands this, but cannot accept it.

Your 'shell' wants to continue parasitizing.

But you want to get rid of those parasites and merge with the memories of 'Earth Tokyo,' one of the origin points of the Fifth Era's origin century.
To ensure that it would not gradually collapse due to the remnants of the Fourth Age.

Then you and those orthodox restorers who call themselves 'Great Sages'.

Or,

What's the difference between the 'parasites' you're talking about?

I can only accept creating a channel compatible with the Fourth Era for you through research at the University of Tokyo.

This would not only prolong your existence, but it's also my bottom line.

now,

As Miyamoto closed his eyes, he ceased speaking.
The compound eyes of the Star Silkworms, the lower-level thinking units of Fausta, suddenly contracted, realizing that they had been drawn into an elaborate deal.

But this exchange was not just a dialogue between the second force behind Tokyo and Al-Fasta.

And there's the hacker lady spying.

Instantly, the clever and mischievous Caroline realized that her opportunity had arrived:
Tokyo needs a lot more.
This is abnormal, so it is clearly a price-cutting tactic.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a sure thing if I could negotiate a more suitable price with Rheinland?

Thinking of this, the hacker immediately interrupted Su Wen's continued description through the communication line:

"Click,"

Pause first.
Let's have an internal discussion.

She then described the scene she had witnessed in a very simple and clear manner:

"The forces behind Tokyo are not just the surrender faction, Rhine, you are absolutely right."

The University of Tokyo and some extraordinary forces not only saw through their true intentions, but also, through their desire to integrate into the Fifth Era, laid out a much larger scheme.

After hearing the whole story, Su Wen wasn't too surprised.

But these details did indeed broaden my perspective considerably.

After all, even the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's disaster response team has already started operations, and its affiliated research institutions are also taking action.

The University of Tokyo, which has technology research agreements with many large companies, cannot remain inactive.

So, this might explain why old Constance told him the news twenty days before the supposed doomsday in Tokyo.

The timeline is gradually becoming clear.

The cycle of time is beginning to complete.

With this in mind, Su Wen paused time and then began to profile the level of involvement of each character in the entire incident.

Finally, he muttered to himself inside the house:
"From this perspective,
I used to think that Tokyo was too cowardly, which led to the end of the world.

This is a flawed argument.
What led to their destruction was not cowardice or inability to resist.

It was greed, not greed.
