Zongman, my simulated universe has come true?

Could it be that this force is the reason why the star core has been eroding the Great Guardian?

"Cocolia, you're going to regret this."

Cocolia slammed the table hard, glaring at Mo Li who was challenging the supreme power of the Great Guardian, and shouted.

"Mo Li! I am the great guardian!"

"Iron Guard! Moli Vesnina is plotting a rebellion! Put him in jail! Also ban all his research results! Seal off all his assets! That potion has a huge hidden danger!"

Just when Cocolia thought the situation was settled, Mo Li's long-charged punch suddenly hit her in the face, almost causing Cocolia to roll her eyes and pass out.

"you!"

"You said it, I intend to rebel, if I don't express it, wouldn't your words be in vain?"

Mo Li grabbed Cocolia by the collar, and the branches that grew rapidly on her body turned into the strongest shackles, and the power of the underworld quickly devoured her physical strength.

The ice and snow power in her body that could freeze the enemy could not affect the special branches at all. Before she could make any move, Mo Li's fist fell again and knocked her unconscious.

At the same time, Mo Li also entered her spiritual space, and without saying a word, he used magic chains to strangle the will of the star core, and then looked at Cocolia, whose body was mostly dyed with the color of the star core.

She closed her eyes as if she was asleep, and I don't know if she will ever regain consciousness...

Sensing some movement outside, Mo Li came out of the consciousness space and looked at the Silver Mane Iron Guards who entered the room, and Jeppard who just walked out of the room.

"Mr. Mo Li, what are you doing?!"

"Jepard, this matter is complicated. I need to take Cocolia to see the City Builder."

Jeppard looked at the big guardian tied up by branches, and after a moment of silence, he chose to believe Mo Li.

His performance on the battlefield and his various contributions to Beloberg definitely do not make him look like the enemy who intended to start a rebellion as described by the Great Guardian!

And the Great Guardian's behavior today was also very strange, especially the offensive order that seemed to be problematic no matter how you looked at it...

"...I understand, but please act with our Iron Guard to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

The Silver Mane Iron Guards who were serving as guards looked at each other, and none of them questioned Jeppard's decision, and followed his arrangements.

Although they are now the guards of Fort Klippe, not long ago they were soldiers fighting in that miraculous battle!

They believe in the judgment of Commander Jeppard and Lord Mo Li!

Especially Lord Mo Li, who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect Beloberg, is definitely not a criminal who intends to rebel!

Chapter 47: City Builder: The Great Guardian must have betrayed Beloberg! (Please read on!)

"This...how is this possible?!"

After hearing the news that Cocolia was corroded by the star core, the city builders' faces turned grim, and they even began to doubt whether Mo Li wanted to seize power...

She is the chosen great guardian, and must be the woman with the strongest sense of protection among Beloberg!

How could it be eroded by the will of the star core?

By the way...Does the star core actually have a will?

No, according to the records of the first generation of city builders, the Great Guardian led people to pray and call for miracles, so the star core may have had a will from the beginning...

"Moli Vesnina, can you guarantee that everything you said is true?"

"What else? She even said that I was planning a rebellion. Do you think Cocolia is mentally normal?"

Mo Li looked at the city builders sitting at the conference table. If he really wanted to rebel, it would not be Cocolia who would be attacked, but Bronya.

After all, from the perspective of power struggle, his only enemy is Bronya, the apparent successor to the Guardian.

As for Cocolia?

Just an old thing that will explode with gold coins sooner or later.

However, he is currently lacking some information, and this information should be in the hands of these city builders.

So Mo Li also needs the support of the city builders...

"It's still hard for us to believe that Kokolia was corrupted by the star core. Although her orders are somewhat...radical, they cannot be used as evidence."

The top leaders of the City Builders were about to use the word stupid to describe the decision, but after thinking it over, they decided to use milder language.

As for Mo Li's rebuttal just now, they simply ignored it.

The city builders have always been the city builders of the great guardians. This is their loyalty passed down from generation to generation! It is their firm determination to [preserve] the will!

"Okay, then I might as well rebel. The lower districts are all mine, and I can cut off the supply of earth marrow ore to the upper districts with just one word."

The city builder's face turned livid as he glared at the daring rebel in front of him.

"The nobles are all my people. I secretly supported several new nobles and divided up all the business of the Sancardore family. 8% of Beloberg's industry is in my hands."

The city builder looked grim and hostile towards the despicable and shameless power grabber in front of him.

"7% of the Silver Mane Iron Guard's automatic robots are produced in my factory every year. Do you think I have a backdoor? How many automatic robots are still in reserve in the lower districts?"

The city builder's face turned pale as he looked at the resourceful planner.

"Over the years, I have sponsored many families, done a lot of charity, and even developed a potion that can make people immune to ice and snow. Guess who the people are on the side of?"

"Cocolia must have been eroded by the star core!"

Lord Mo Li intends to rebel? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The Great Guardian must have betrayed Beloberg!

The city builders who recognized the current situation decisively stood on Mo Li's side.

Regardless of whether Mo Li was plotting a rebellion or not, it would be a foolish choice to continue standing on Cocolia's side.

Just imagine, if Mo Li really wanted to start a rebellion, who would be the obstacle in his way?

The people? The people were on his side. Because of the City Builder's speech, there were even many voices criticizing the Great Guardian in the city.

The lower class districts are all Mo Li's people, and just one word from him is enough to make the lower class districts follow him...

Iron Guards? The Silver Mane Iron Guards were the ones who escorted Mo Li to this room! Plus, if what Mo Li said was true, the Iron Guards couldn't save themselves now!

Moreover, when Mo Li took out the "Iron Guard" potion that was immune to ice and snow, he had already secretly won the hearts of many Iron Guards.

Nobles? With their tacit approval and secret support, the Noble Council has become a place where Vesnina family... no, Mo Li has the final say!

In addition, he secretly controlled other nobles to divide up the original assets of the Sancardore family, so most of Beloberg's resources were in his hands!

If they continue to stand on Cocolia's side, the only obstacles to Mo Li's seizure of power will be the City Builders and the Great Guardians.

Even the Great Guardian had been tied up by him. Referring to Mo Li's performance on the battlefield, all he had to do next was clap his hands and shout "Wood Release: Tree World Advent", and all of their city builders would be destroyed.

After analyzing it this way, Lord Mo Li is still willing to talk to them. He is really kind-hearted!

"Master Mo Li, do you need us to do anything?"

The city builders bent down, with a look of more respect on their faces.

"Cocolia is the Great Guardian. She is not easily corrupted, otherwise she would have become a puppet of the Star Core long ago. She was normal the last time I saw her. Something must have happened in the past few days."

Mo Li frowned in displeasure when he thought about all his hard work in the past few years going to waste.

Cocolia's will is a little unsteady, but she won't be controlled by the star core without any warning.

"I need a detailed report of her itinerary over the past few days, where she went, who she met, and what documents she handled."

Mo Li sat on the chair brought by the city builder. In just over ten minutes, he had obtained the highest power of Beloberg.

"Master Mo Li, there is something we need to ask for your opinion on."

"what?"

"Regarding Beloberg's power of preservation..."

The City Builder carefully and tactfully explained to Mo Li the significance of the Grand Guardian's existence, to prevent Mo Li from directly deleting the position of Grand Guardian after seizing power.

And now that Cocolia has run into problems, they must also consider who will be the next Great Guardian...

If it were in the past, the city builders would choose Miss Bronya without hesitation. After all, only the female Great Guardian is the orthodox of Beloberg!

But the situation is different now. Mo Li holds the real power and has the qualifications to be a guardian. Theoretically, he is the most suitable person to become the great guardian.

It's just that it somewhat goes against the ancestral teachings of the city builders...

"The Great Guardian is the bridge between people's faith and the power of preservation?"

After hearing about this setting that didn't exist in the game, Mo Li finally understood why the city builders were so keen on giving speeches.

It turned out that it was to consolidate people's faith in the Great Guardian and indirectly maintain Beloberg's protective power.

No wonder when he took out the Iron Guard Potion, the City Builders went crazy looking for him. It turned out that they were worried that he would take away the Great Guardian's faith...

Strange, why does the power of protection require faith?

Compared with the people's faith, the star god who built the wall's firm will to protect it will truly attract His attention.

Forget it. The city builders have been passed down for so many years and have experienced a long period of practice, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

And since they said so, there must be a way to observe whether the city's protective power is stable...

"If you want to inherit the position of the Great Guardian, we will start preparing for the succession ceremony immediately, but..."

"My gender and Bronya are both hidden dangers, right?"

Mo Li also knew what they wanted to say. So far, there has never been a male great guardian in the history of Beloberg.

If he sets a precedent, he will naturally be questioned by some people. In addition, Cocolia is no longer suitable for public display. Some people may think that he has seized power and that his position is not legitimate.

Moreover, as the adopted daughter of the Grand Guardian, Bronya has been recognized by Beloberg as the next Grand Guardian, and she is the orthodox one in people's eyes.

Nowadays, people support him because of Mo Li's achievements and his considerate attitude towards the people. However, if there is even a little bit of negative information about him, his reputation will be reversed in an instant.

Human beings are creatures like this; they cannot tolerate any stain on a "saint".

The city builders lowered their heads and wisely did not respond. They were merely making suggestions. As for the final decision, it was naturally in Mo Li's hands.

"Actually... there is another way."

A young woman among the city builders spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? Tell me."

"As long as you and Miss Bronya are publicly engaged, then when people talk about you in the future, they will naturally think of Miss Bronya, the next Great Guardian. Although it will still take away some of the faith, it will be enough to maintain Beloberg's protection power and not drop too much..."

Is this a marketing method of bundling CP?

Mo Li looked at the city builder with interest. This idea was indeed good. As long as Bronya appeared in public with him, Bronya's behavior would be beautified in the eyes of his believers, and they might even actively support her.

"Well, let's use this method. Let's put the Grand Guardian Succession Ceremony on hold for now. This engagement should be enough to calm the people for now."

Chapter 48 Bronya: I am engaged to Mo Li? (Please read on!)

"Engagement?!"

Upon hearing this good news, Bronya stood up from the sofa with a look of surprise on her face.

"Well, of course it's just a formal engagement, mainly to appease the people. In fact, the engagement partner can also be Cocolia, but she is not conscious yet, and she must be present when the engagement news is announced."

Mo Li drank her tea calmly, not worrying at all that Bronya would reject this political marriage.

Mo Li has always been very aware of his own charm. Even if he were to go to the street and propose to a woman, she would definitely agree.

Although Mo Li is now doubting whether he is a succubus, at least his face is undoubtedly very "succubus".

What's more, he and Bronya have been childhood sweethearts for so many years. If Mo Li can't even see through her little thoughts, then his childhood sweetheart status is a failure.

"Isn't this...not good?"

Bronya also realized that her reaction was a bit excessive, and returned to the sofa to sit like a lady, maintaining the style of an aristocratic lady in every move.

"That's right, Bronya, you've reached puberty and you'll have someone you like. If you get engaged to me, she'll definitely misunderstand you..."

Mo Li pretended to sigh with regret, which made Bronya's expression suddenly anxious. She didn't want to be misunderstood by Mo Li!

"Wait, wait a minute! Mo Li, actually I!"

"It's okay, Bronya, you don't have to sacrifice your own happiness for everyone else. I will get engaged to Cocolia..."

"no!"

Seeing Mo Li preparing to get up and leave, Bronya quickly grabbed his wrist. She didn't want to miss this great opportunity because of her momentary shyness!
