Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

"Then I am willing to guarantee Mr. Batu with the Mutual Aid Association. At least before the trial and sentencing, you can go to your hometown and do what you want to do now."

Mernadette's voice echoed in the corridor.

Batu's originally heavy steps became light.

That's enough...

This period of time is enough for me to do something.

Watching Batu leave, Mernadé sighed, feeling a little troubled.

She had ignored many things before.

But Batu's confession and choice reminded her that it was time to consider many things.

In the mutual aid association, it is not only Batu who has a blemish in his past, but also Antilia, Maureen and Arthur, their pasts are blemishes.

Even compared to Batu who has been punished and is about to stand trial, they have not been punished yet.

Do you want to do this kind of thing yourself?

What attitude should we take to do it?

Antilia has joined the mutual aid group, but Arthur and Maureen are only protecting themselves for the sake of Floyds.

I have no position or qualifications to judge them.

But we can't turn a blind eye to such things.

"Brother...what should I do?"

Mernadette wanted to ask Charles for his opinion, but she quickly gave up the idea.

She couldn't rely on her brother for everything. If the mutual aid association wanted to truly grow, it couldn't rely on her brother for everything...

but....

This is really difficult for her.

On the one hand, there is the growth and development of the mutual aid association, and on the other hand, there is the purity of the mutual aid association and her thoughts.

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't find a perfect solution.

Afterwards, Mernadé temporarily put down the work in her hands, took out some of Charles's works and some of her own notes from the bookshelf beside her and began to study.

While Mernadette was trying to find a balance and a perfect solution to the problem, Charles, who had returned from the center of the sun, looked bored at Peroz who was writing furiously in the study.

"Although I know you gained a lot from it, you shouldn't be so excited."

"These things are too important. I must write them down quickly. If my memory fails or something happens to me that causes them to be forgotten, it will be a huge loss to the archaeological cause."

"With me here, nothing like this will happen." Listening to Peroz setting a goal for himself, Charles looked a little helpless.

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Peroz continued to write while muttering.

"Not ten thousand, not one in a hundred." Charles stood up and slowly walked to Peroz's side, then hugged her from behind.

Peroz broke free from Charles's embrace, then said disdainfully, "Rocks...are you free today?"

Arrow through the heart.

Looking at Peroz like this, Charles really regretted that he had stuffed so many things into Guixu and brought Peroz into the center of the sun.

Perhaps realizing that his tone was a bit hurtful, Peroz stopped what he was doing and tapped his head with a pen in embarrassment.

"Locks...that's not what I meant."

Charles didn't say anything, just looked at her with some resentment.

This sight made Peroz feel uncomfortable.

"My tone and behavior just now were indeed a bit rude... At worst, I can just... go along with your wishes and let you... make up."

As he said these words, Peroz turned his head away so as not to look at Charles, but even so, his face was still a little red.

"It's a deal!" Charles instantly perked up and hugged her again.

If you mention this, I won't be sleepy anymore~

Peroz rolled his eyes at Charles.

"You don't look like a great person at all."

"I'm not great either..." Charles kissed Perozzi hard on the cheek, then added, "Reiner is going to discuss something with Meldena tomorrow. I'm going to see if Reiner, Meldena and the others are ready."

Peroz nodded and pried open Charles' hands that were holding him up and down, then stood up and pushed him out the door.

-

Section 376 Chapter 46: Divergence, the Idea of ​​"Perfection"

"You'll lose me like this."

After being pushed to the door by Peroz, Charles said with a resentful look on his face.

Peroz rolled his eyes at him but said nothing.

What a guy! Didn’t he say he was going to look for Melnade and the others?

Did that behavior just now look like he was going to look for them?

If I hadn't been a little less ruthless, I probably wouldn't have been able to continue recording the gains from the previous expedition today, and Charles probably wouldn't have had time to look for Mernade and Reiner.

While thinking this, Peroz turned back to the room and tidied up the clothes that had become messy because of Charles' mischief.

Fort Nathan, Wilson River.

"What a nice city..." Reiner's gaze followed the river, and the smiles on the faces of the people around the river bank quickly spread to the entire city.

"Of course, this is the result of Mernadette's hard work over this period of time." Charles' figure appeared beside him, and like him, he was quietly observing the city.

"Originally, I thought that coming here today was just a social interaction. Now it seems that there might be some unexpected gains." Reiner turned around and looked at Ciel who appeared beside him and waved.

A table and chairs appeared in front of the two of them. Charles sat on the chair and then took out some wine and snacks.

"Interpersonal relationships? You underestimate me. What you gain here will definitely exceed your imagination." Charles said seriously.

"Beyond my imagination? I'm really looking forward to it." Reiner took a sip of wine and said casually, "Speaking of which, do you like wine? Every time I see you, I seem to see you drinking. This time is obviously suitable for drinking tea and eating desserts, but you took out wine."

Charles was startled, then waved his hands. "How could that be? I thought you preferred wine. After all, every time I go to your office or Dream City, I can always find wine around you."

Reiner reached out and rubbed his brow. "The first wine you drank was a reminder to myself. A reminder not to forget my original intention. The wine after that was prepared for you..."

After hearing what he said, Charles' expression was a little strange. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"There's nothing wrong with drinking some alcohol occasionally. By the way, I remember you mentioned your identity. With such an identity, what's the matter with your sister?" Reiner asked Charles while replacing the rum next to him with sweet wine.

"Could it be that she is from the same era as you?"

From a certain perspective, this can be said, but if you really count carefully, Mernadette's era was much earlier than Charles'.

"How should I put it?" Charles held his chin and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Before, Melnadette was my sister, but now she should be said to be my wife."

Although he trusts Reiner very much, there are some things... Ciel thinks it is better to keep them secret.

Reiner's hand holding the wine glass shook, and some of the wine spilled out.

He looked at Charles with an expression that was hard to describe.

Obviously, he was successfully misled by Charles' words.

At this moment, Reiner imagined a series of tricks that Ciel had designed to pursue Mernadette.

The brothers and sisters are probably preparing for today.

As for whether Charles really only considered Melnadette a sister at first...

Even now, when Charles recalled these words, he found it hard to believe himself.

"Should we say that he is worthy of being the High Priest of the Church of the Earth, known as the God of Romance and recreated in countless literary works?"

"No matter what time, you can't control your nature." Reiner said venomously.

Ciel's face darkened considerably. "I've explained this to you many times, why don't you believe it?"

"I wanted to believe you before, but your performance...it's really hard for people to believe you on this kind of thing..." Reiner looked distressed.

"...Let's talk about what happens between you and Mernadette tomorrow." Charles changed the subject with a dark face.

"Don't worry...I will cooperate with her and put on a good show."

"It's a pity that because of you, she won't choose to join the Truth Association and won't have the chance to witness the great plan that can truly bring about change to the world."

Reiner quite likes the city in front of him.

This is a city where there is light in everyone's eyes and hope on everyone's face.

But no matter how much he liked it, he never gave up on his ideals.

In other words, from beginning to end, his heart never wavered.

"Don't be too proud. I agree with many of Mernadè's ideas."

"Even if I had to choose between the two, I would think that Mernadè's ideas could bring greater changes to the world."

Reiner didn't take tomorrow's events any more seriously because of Ciel's words. He just waved his hand and said, "Of course I know your choice."

"After all, you're the one who said things like, 'Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. Dare to touch my clothes, and I'll chop off your limbs.' And 'Many people in the world dare to go out without limbs, but few people would go out without clothes.'"

"I know your choice without even thinking about it."

Ciel's eyes twitched.

To be honest, this is just something I said when I was joking with my friends.

Charles was not surprised that such words could be passed down to the present day. What surprised him was that it had been tens of thousands of years, but why did some people still remember that they said these words?

"What I just said was not because Melnadette is the person I like."

"What I mean is, if I don't know you, and after seeing the ideas of the Truth Society and the Mutual Aid Society, I would think that the ideas of the Mutual Aid Society have more positive significance for the world."

"Let's take a step back and assume I knew you but not Mernadette. In that case, if I saw both of your ideas, I would probably think that Mernadette's ideas were superior."

Reiner, who had been so relaxed, finally became serious.

"You guy...you still think that it is impossible for everyone to become extraordinary, right?" Reiner looked at Ciel with some dissatisfaction.

"I think that's possible." Charles said calmly.

He didn't lie in this statement.

As long as Reiner can use the City of Dreams to forge an extraordinary path above truth from nothing, he can break the shackles of his own sequence and become a new God.

Then, it would be easy to achieve the goal of everyone becoming extraordinary by just spending some time.

"Then why do you think I can't compare to her?"

"Because people themselves will not put an end to disputes just by becoming stronger and stronger."

"Perhaps if everyone becomes extraordinary, the current close relationship between extraordinary people and ordinary people will collapse, but then new classes will quickly emerge due to power and other factors."

"In this case, perhaps that world is even more chaotic than the current one."

Reiner listened carefully to Ciel's words, and after he finished speaking, he said calmly, "That was without anyone to guide him."

"As long as someone provides the correct guidance, the world you are talking about will not appear."

"As long as I am still here, the world I long for will slowly emerge."

Making everyone extraordinary is just the first step.

The truly perfect world that Reiner longs for in his heart is a world of pure goodness that he guides and builds after everyone becomes extraordinary.

In that world, people no longer worry about material conditions because of their extraordinary powers.

Everyone can have access to quality education at a very young age and learn the career they are interested in according to their own strengths and talents.

Morality can be achieved through education. Perhaps in the beginning, people in the world will be somewhat unsatisfactory.

But after a few hundred years, when the world's population has changed several times, all the people in the world will be the perfect new humans in his mind.

Excellent character, coupled with remarkable strength and extremely powerful productivity.

Reiner believes that no one would dislike such a world.

"Your plan is essentially nothing more than a dictatorship centered around you." Charles commented calmly.
