Industrial Cthulhu? It's Cthulhu Industrial!!

Chapter 8 Authority and Deterrence (Please Read!)

It really is a summons out of nothing.

Looking at the space rift torn open by the oracle machine slowly closing, Leon didn't know what to say.

Yes, the Oracle is very useful and almost omnipotent, but this is also the reason why it did not make the Royal Navy fleet the most powerful organization in the world.

Although it will indeed grant your wishes, the method of fulfillment is completely uncontrollable. Just like its name, the oracle brings not only joy and laughter, but also screams and suffering.

But it doesn’t matter, these are not big problems for Leon.

He had witnessed too much suffering and torture beyond human wit during his journey through time, so this kind of thing was nothing to be surprised about.

However, for the people who were teleported here, although this was a hard-earned gift of life, it also meant more suffering and a time to realize the environment they were in.

Not many people like this kind of abrupt ending to the time travel.

'Has anyone seen my child?! Has anyone seen my child?!'

'Mom! Dad! Where are you?'

'Do you see my wife? The brown-haired woman holding a very cute child. Do you see her?!'

"Brother! Sister! Where are you all?!"

'My children are not here!'

Suffering, torture, and an overwhelming sense of sorrow spread through the clearing like a contagion.

These people, sunburned by the glory of Britannia, realized that they had escaped the sea of ​​suffering, but more people did not feel happy, but only found that everything around them was broken.

They cried and screamed, even wanting to return to the closed rift. Many more cried and laughed deliriously, or knelt on the ground praying for blessings from unknown gods. Many more even knelt on the ground with mental breakdowns and spoke incoherently.

Fortunately, Leon also has a way to deal with this situation.

"I said, be quiet."

"..."

It's like the pause button has been pressed.

The crowd, which was originally screaming, crying and in great chaos, suddenly quieted down.

It was like when you were on campus, a bustling classroom suddenly became quiet at a certain point in time, without a single sound.

The people who were in chaos just now stopped talking and stared blankly at Li Ang who was standing in front of the huge ecological garden.

'System prompt: Your population has increased!'

"System prompt: Your current population is 100 normal humans and 10 Sky Garden Regenerators, a total of 110 people! The seeds of civilization have been spread. A population exceeding three digits is incredible to wild animals, but for humans, everything has just begun."

'System prompt: Please build the city hall and research institute as soon as possible! Please research technology and culture as soon as possible!'

'System prompt: There are certain security risks in your area, please remain vigilant!'

'System prompt: Your population has reached 100 people. The natural environment can no longer bear the digestion and decomposition of domestic waste. Please pay attention to environmental hygiene and keep it clean!'

"..." Looking at the series of prompts given by the system, Li Ang did not say anything, but just silently looked at the terrified crowd below.

In the brain of the possessed Leon lies a series of aristocratic knowledge and systems, including knowledge specifically used to appease these time-traveling humans.

After all, during the blood sacrifice ceremony, many people will encounter some strange phenomena, such as people from some high-moral areas or other things popping out and saying this and that. As an excellent noble, you always have to face these situations.

"Very good, you are now aware of your situation."

Looking at the silent crowd, Li Ang played to his unique strengths, and his supernatural will echoed in everyone's mind.

"You can understand that I am your savior. I saved you from the valley of despair. It's not because I want you to survive. You are just a small character who got lucky. I just need a group of people, and you are just the ones who were randomly selected."

"You have survived, and you will have a considerable amount of fruits and supplies. But your survival also comes at a price. You must trust me, obey me, and worship me, so that I can bring you more happiness."

"I am your only leader, your savior, and your master. Of course, you can also choose death to escape the reality of being saved. This is your only right."

"You work for me for eight hours a day, and you can allocate the rest of the time among yourselves. I only provide enough fruits and vegetables to sustain you for the day. If you want to improve your life, go fishing or do other things outside of work. I need your labor, not everything you own."

"Now, take a portion of the fruit and go work according to the ideas I have instilled in you."

"..."

"..."

"..."

It was very quiet, without the power of resistance and crying that one might have imagined.

This is understandable. They were originally a group of refugees. If they had blood and will, they would fight to the death with the people of the Royal Fleet.

The one who could instill the sound into their mind was naturally a powerful being with supernatural powers and extraordinary abilities. Facing such a powerful being, these people would not think too much. They had all fled, and it was even more impossible for them to fight against a more mysterious wizard.

So you see, saving this world is not an easy task.

Everyone is living like a zombie. Everyone is like this. Only clear and accurate orders and unhesitating actions can make these corrupt zombies move.

They were not born like this, nor have they always been like this, but it would take too long to transform them. Leon does not have the time, let alone the ability.

Li Ang was very clear about his own position. Mysterious authoritarianism was his only amulet.

"By the way, no one is allowed to approach the Hanging Gardens or the Silver Gate inside without my permission. You should know this in your heads."

Maintaining a sense of mystery is an important part of maintaining authority.

After just this warning, Leon retreated back into the Sky Garden.

The interwoven plants wrapped him in soft and fluffy ferns as if they were living things, allowing him to sit comfortably and observe the human activities outside from a cleverly constructed observation point.

This was also the first time for him to master human civilization, so he needed to observe more in order to better mobilize these people.

As for the early stages... now that we can get these people moving, we can just use authoritarianism as a makeshift measure.

We may face a strange crisis in one day, and a fleet may attack in half a year. We have to force ourselves to survive.
