Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"If I kill you all here, I can ensure that the Seven Star Sword Festival will go on smoothly and will not face any problems. At most, there will be some problems with the management of this country, but as far as I know, there are as many people as you want to replace the Prime Minister."

Yueying Moya narrowed her eyes and said, "Even if you can't participate in the Seven Star Sword Festival?"

Zigg raised his lips and said, "Forcing my way into the finals is like that - I told you, I only act according to my own ideas."

"Besides, you even hired the rebels to accomplish your goal. If I kill them all here, your plan will be in vain."

"Who do you think is at a greater disadvantage, you or me?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

75. I want to save this country

This was a situation that Yueying Moya had anticipated.

Although the reason was unclear, after learning about Sieg's existence, Yueying Mofang knew that sooner or later he would have such a confrontation with him.

"...Everyone, please go out first."

After hesitating for a while, Yueying Moya said to the others in Akatsuki Academy.

Rina Kazematsu wanted to say something immediately, but Yueying Moya just gave her a look, and she shut her mouth obediently, sat on the lion reluctantly, and left the living room first.

Todoraka Yui and Hiraga Reizumi also left.

And the Black Iron Horse——

"boom."

The moment he left the room, Kurogane Ouma shut the door heavily. Even after that, Sieg could still sense that he was standing outside the door, and surrounded the entire living room with a layer of wind barrier.

Sieg frowned, but Moon Shadow Fang was very calm: "I asked him to do this. After all, I had already confirmed this private meeting between you and me, so before coming here, I asked Wang Ma to prepare for such an action."

"...Is this also what your inherent spiritual outfit can see, Prime Minister?"

"You even know this kind of thing - this is state secret-level information."

Having said that, Yueying Moya did not seem surprised at all, as if she had known about this for a long time, and the next moment -

"Illuminating Everything - [Moon Sky Orb]"

With the elegant glow of moonlight, Yueying Membrane Fang revealed its spiritual outfit.

It was a fist-sized crystal ball decorated with golden metal. It emitted a faint golden light and floated in the air.

Sieg dispersed the silver sword in his hand: "Is this your inherent spiritual equipment that can [see the future]?"

——[A peek into the future].

Or in other words, [predicting the future], this is the special ability of Yueying Moya as a swordsman, and it is one of Japan's biggest state secrets that even the Alliance does not know.

"That statement is not accurate."

Yueying Moya shook her head. "My ability doesn't allow me to see the future, but the past. To see the past of people or places within a certain range is my ability. What you mean by "seeing the future" is a special form of this ability."

"This ability to read cause and effect sometimes takes the form of a [precognitive dream], showing the [future] that will appear on the current cause and effect line."

As the Prime Minister of Japan, Yueying Moya is actually a very rare swordsman in the world who can interfere with the cause and effect system.

"I know what you want to know. Since you are now Eddie's student, I am willing to tell you the truth. But before that, I hope you can promise not to disclose what you are going to see to anyone else - of course, this does not include people who already know, such as Eddie."

Zieg said in a deep voice: "...I can promise it, but I can't promise that you will believe me."

"It's enough that you are willing to say so—then please watch."

After saying that, Yueyingmoya flicked the Yuetian Pearl in the air with her fingertips.

The smooth mirror surface of the Yuetian Orb suddenly rippled slightly, causing a drop of water to drip from the bottom of the sphere and land on the jade coffee table between the two people.

The next second──

The water droplets created dazzling ripples in Zigg's eyes, and an image suddenly appeared on the smooth surface of the coffee table!

"------!"

The moment he saw the content of the video clearly, Zigg subconsciously held his breath.

【hell】

This is probably the only word that can be used to describe the content of the video.

A town was engulfed in flames, and people were being devoured and torn apart by the flames alive.

There is a boy whose lower body seems to be crushed by the rubble. Even so, he barely grabs the ground with both hands and crawls forward bit by bit, trying desperately to escape from the flames, but the flames still devour him mercilessly - this scene is repeated in the video in similar but not exactly the same form.

Sometimes it’s a boy, sometimes it’s a girl, sometimes it’s an old man who didn’t have time to escape, sometimes it’s a young man struggling while holding a child…

Sieg could clearly feel the heat from the burning flames, could clearly hear people screaming and crying, and could even smell the smell of burnt flesh. The content presented to him by the image seemed to directly affect his five senses, and he felt the environment being affected firsthand.

Then, somewhere in the image, Zigg saw a familiar building——

"Tokyo Skytree... This place, is it Tokyo?"

"Yes."

Yueying Moya nodded slightly: "This is the [future] that will happen in the near future. The reason is unknown, but Tokyo will indeed turn into the hell on earth in the image at some point in the future."

"The reason is... unknown?"

"After all, this is just a prophetic dream, and it was a prophetic dream I had more than ten years ago. What I am showing you now is just my personal past." Yueying Moya put away the image and spiritual clothes, "But after more than ten years in politics, I have also tried to analyze the reasons for this future from the current world situation."

"Because of the [collapse of balance]."

The collapse of balance?

"Mr. Sieg, you know that the current world is in a three-way balance of power. The Alliance and the Allies, plus the social opposition led by the rebels, are all competing against each other. The fundamental reason for this triangular relationship is that each of the three parties has an absolute fighting power, which are the three [Demons] you know."

The [Whitebeard] of the Alliance, the [Superman] of the Confederacy, and the [Tyrant] of the Rebel Army.

"It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of these three demons that the three forces are able to maintain the current balance. But the tyrant is an old veteran who has existed for decades before the war. He is old and it is not surprising that he will die at any time. Once the tyrant dies, the rebel army without his control will become a mess, and just like what I am doing now - the remnants of the rebel army will be fought over by both the alliance and the coalition at the same time."

There's nothing strange about this.

Although on the surface both the Alliance and the Allied Forces adopted hostile policies towards the rebels, secretly, both sides had already established ties with the rebels, such as the Moon Shadow Fang.

“And in this scramble, the Alliance has fallen far behind the Allies.”

Even though they all adopted a hostile policy, the alliance of great powers represented by the United States was more open to the rebels, so their ties with the rebels were more stable and profound than the alliance. There were even rumors that the world's number one water mage in the United States was himself a rebel.

"Therefore, in the end, most of the rebels' combat power will definitely flow to the Alliance, and after that, the Alliance will inevitably provoke World War III."

The idea of ​​the alliance is to divide the world into several major powers for management.

The concept of the alliance is that [small countries work together to maintain the current world situation].

These two concepts are bound to conflict. Once the rebels, who are their common enemy, are lost and the overall combat power difference is achieved after the remnants of the rebels are divided up, the stronger ally will inevitably attack the alliance and provoke a war.

As for the outcome of the war—

"Is that the scene?" Sieg understood what Moon Shadow Membrane Fang meant, "Then what do you want to achieve through Akatsuki Academy?"

"Through the results of the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival, we will change public opinion and the situation in Japan, so that the general direction of the country will be inclined towards [leaving the alliance]. After that, through a referendum, it will be confirmed that Japan can leave the alliance. Finally, at the cost of swallowing a few unfavorable conditions, we will lead Japan to join the alliance."

This is what Yueying Mofang wants to do.

"More than a decade ago, when I first had this prophetic dream, I was just the chairman of the Pojun Academy. Since then, I have always wanted to save Japan from the future that is bound to be destroyed in the image."

"For this reason, I gave up my teaching duties and began to enter the political world. It took me a long time to finally reach this point today. The plan has reached the final stage. As long as I win the Seven Star Sword Festival, the plan will be completed by 90%."

At this point, Moon Shadow Membrane stood up and bowed to Sieg: "I can't fail at this moment, so I choose to tell you the truth, and tell the people I think I can trust."

"Mr. Sieg, for the future of this country, I ask you once again - please help me save this country."

76. You come to be the enemy of the world

Looking at Yueying Moya who was bending over and making a serious request to him, Sieg suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from him, as if his figure overlapped with someone in his memory.

After a long silence, Sieg sighed slightly: "...To be honest, I don't understand what you are saying."

"Whether it was the reasons for provoking a war or the relationship between the alliance and the allies, I didn't understand any of this and found it very boring - but I did understand one thing."

"Because the top combat power of the three forces cannot be balanced, it will eventually lead to a world war, right?"

Moon Shadow Mofang sat down again: "If you jump a little, yes."

"Isn't that easy to handle? Just get rid of the strongest forces in the Alliance and the Allies. Wouldn't that balance it out?" Sieg said this in a matter-of-fact tone that made Yueying Mofang almost jump up.

Eliminate the strongest forces of the alliance and the allies? !

The expression on his face changed several times from shock and astonishment at the beginning to helplessness and bitterness.

"It's really a rather crude and simplistic approach... But even so, nothing will change. With the death of the top fighters of the three major forces, the world may even fall into greater chaos."

"why?"

"This is very complicated... Mr. Sieg, you don't seem to understand politics and human nature, and you have almost no understanding of human desires. It seems useless to explain it to you." Yueying Moya smiled bitterly, "If you say "I don't understand" again, I will be troubled."

"Is that so... Then can't we try another method?"

Sieg clapped his hands and said, "Since it is the allies who are going to start the war, why not just kill all of them?"

Moon Shadow Membrane Fang: "......"

Destroy all alliances among major powers?

Even Edwards wouldn't dare to say that he could do this! That's a great power alliance, a behemoth made up of the most powerful countries on the planet!

"Of course, not all of them will be killed. Prime Minister, you don't have to make such an exaggerated expression." Sieg waved his hand and raised three fingers. "I also wandered around the world for a year before, and I know a little about the situation of alliances and allies. In fact, whether it is an alliance or an alliance, there are roughly three types of existence inside, right?"

"There are the [radicals] who advocate opposition to the other side, the [conservatives] who advocate peaceful coexistence with the other side, and the [neutrals] who do not want to get involved with either side. And those who want to provoke a war are generally the [radicals], right?"

"Then why not just get rid of all the radicals? It won't solve the problem, but it can get rid of the people who cause the problem before it happens."

Looking at Sieg who said this, Yueying Moya suddenly felt that he seemed a little cute. How should I put it...should I say he was simple? Or pure?

Therefore, after smiling a few times, Yueying Moya said earnestly: "Student Qi Ge, your suggestion is indeed feasible in theory, but the so-called radicals, conservatives and neutrals are completely interchangeable, and everyone's position is not fixed."

"At least, most politicians are not people like you who can carry out their own will from beginning to end and have simple wishes."

"...You guys are really troublesome."

Sieg leaned back and sank into the sofa. "Come to think of it, you and Kurogane do look a bit alike—I mean, Kurogane Ouma's younger brother, my classmate, Kurogane Ikki."

"Oh? How are they similar?"

"When you knew you would be treated badly and would be in trouble, the first thing you thought of was not resistance, but obedience and tolerance." Sieg said, "Since the alliance is going to attack, why not fight back? In the end, instead of fighting back, you wanted to join the alliance... It's exactly the same as the previous Black Iron."

Last year, Ikki Kurogane, knowing full well that he would be treated differently, did not take any action but was prepared to endure from the beginning.

Because he wanted to become a formal magic knight, no matter how severely he was bullied, he would never let the Kurogane family catch him and force him to drop out of school.

What Yueying Mofang is doing now, or what he is thinking, is similar to what Kurogane Ikki is doing now.

"Prime Minister, I accept your request."

Ziggy changed the subject.

"I will participate in your plan, but you'd better not expect me to follow your script completely."

"...It's enough that you can give me this answer." Yueying Moya sighed heavily, "You are right, Mr. Sieg. But I don't know if you understand? The reason why we keep giving in and enduring is not because we don't want to resist, but because we have things to bear and things we want to protect. In order not to lose them, we endure."

"This is the shackles we voluntarily put on ourselves - you don't have such a thing, do you?"

Things that you need to carry.

Things that you need to protect.

These things——

"My own life, and my own will."

Sieg replied.

"If I must say, these are the only things I want to keep at all costs... Maybe they are of the same nature as what you are carrying, but I will never let myself back down like you did."

"...These are some bold words that a child of your age can say."
