Natasha was a little hesitant for a moment - after all, she knew very well that although the conflict between the upper and lower areas was huge, it was indeed possible to resolve it.

If the situation can be resolved peacefully, then Beloberg, who is immune to the wind and snow, will be able to move quickly towards a new future. The world will eventually return to everyone's hands, and there will be no need to worry about the end of the world or linger in the cold wave...

But then we have to worry about Cocolia's betrayal... I wonder what Ron will do?

If it were Ron, there must be a good way to solve this situation, right?

Thinking this in her heart, Natasha clicked the light screen in front of her with trust in Ron and let the simulation continue:

【Ron agreed to negotiate with Cocolia.】

[You saw Ron tying Cocolia up like a dumpling, holding her in his hands, and leading her into the night, as if everything was under control.]

[You lose sight of Ron and Cocolia.]

[Because of Ron's extremely disrespectful behavior, the Silver-maned Iron Guards were a little restless. Many bad-tempered Iron Guards had already cast angry looks. The spears in their hands were loaded, and the fingers on the trigger seemed to be gradually moving. With great effort, tiny screams echoed in the silent night. 】

[The lower-level army, who had been betrayed by the Great Guardian, gloated over Cocolia's misfortune and showed no mercy to the Silver Mane Iron Guards. They responded more violently to their shouting and cursing. The curses intertwined with the shouting and cursing of the Silver Mane Iron Guards, and the anger of both sides continued to rise.]

[Faced with this situation, you discovered that Bronya Rand, who came with the lower district army, quietly left the team and went deep into the Silver Mane Iron Guard without anyone noticing. As the acting leader of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, you began to stabilize the Iron Guards' emotions and tried your best to avoid bloodshed.]

[Xi'er, the acting leader of the First Earth Fire Pioneer Group, also stood up and used her status as the leader to forcibly suppress the anger of the crowd.]

[Military orders are as strong as a mountain. When Ron is not around, Xier is the most powerful officer. No one will disobey Xier's orders at this time.]

[The explosive situation was thus eased, and no bloody conflict occurred between the two sides.]

Natasha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the words on the screen - luckily Seele and Bronya were there, otherwise, judging from what had just happened, a big battle would be inevitable...

She watched as the notes continued to pop up on the screen:

[As time went by, after a while, crystal rocks covered with vines appeared again on the horizon.]

【Ron and Cocolia are back.】

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture emerged:

Ron and Cocolia returned from Klipperburg, walking on the stairs made of vines and crystal rocks.

The only difference from before was that Cocolia no longer had the densely wrapped hemp ropes around her body, and Ron did not continue to restrict her movements. Instead, she followed Ron with a smile on her face, obviously getting the result she wanted in the negotiation just now.

Everyone was watching them return, their eyes filled with tension and a hint of anticipation.

Now everyone is looking forward to the outcome of their negotiations - after all, no one, whether in the upper or lower districts, wants to enter into a blood feud with others, or a war that will engulf the entire Beloberg...

But this is completely beyond their control. Whether it will lead to a war that affects the entire Beloberg depends on the outcome of the negotiations between Ron and Cocolia...

After all, they are in the upper and lower camps respectively, and everyone will be swept up by the general trend, without exception.

Ron and Cocolia walked down from the sky along the stairs made of vines and crystal rocks and stood in front of the two lines.

Ron did not speak, but just stood there quietly. Cocolia beside him was obviously a little excited. She pulled out the Spear of Protection that she had inserted into the ground before, and announced to the world as the Great Guardian:

"The upper and lower areas have been closed for a long time, but they are all part of Beloberg after all. Peace is the only theme in the city of Beloberg."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a sense of security filled their bodies.

No one wants war, and Cocolia's words as the Great Guardian have already made the final decision. Since the Upper and Lower Districts are ultimately just part of Beloberg, if the Lower District's legal status is recognized, there will be no large-scale bloody conflicts in the future...

At most, I'm afraid it's just some minor conflicts between the upper and lower class people...

However, just when everyone was still feeling reassured by Cocolia's declaration of peace, Cocolia suddenly spoke again, shocking everyone for a moment:

"By the way, after the negotiation just now, I am convinced that the leader of the lower district, Ron, is very capable and far beyond my reach."

"The upper and lower areas of Beloberg have been closed for ten years. There will certainly be many obstacles if we want to unify them peacefully..."

"The position of the Great Guardian of Beloberg has always been held by the capable. In order to better resolve these obstacles between the peaceful integration of the upper and lower districts, I have decided to give up the position of the Great Guardian of Beloberg and pass it on to Ron..."

Cocolia's words stirred up a thousand waves. The upper and lower district armies, which had long been quiet due to Bronya and Seele's consolation, suddenly became boiling again. Everyone had a heated discussion because of Cocolia's words.

"Who is Ron?"

"Why would the Grand Guardian give up his position to him? Does he really deserve it?"

"I remember... I remember I saw him before. He seemed to be the captain of the guard at Klippelburg..."

......

"I knew Ron could do it!"

"Haha, great guardian? Our boss should sit in that position!"

"As expected of Boss Ron, it has only been a short time, and he made Cocolia abdicate with just a few words. Supporting him as the local fire chief was the best decision I have ever made in my life..."

Some people reacted most violently:

"Mother?! How could you......"

Bronya looked at Cocolia in front of the battle line in astonishment. Her mind suddenly became empty and she could hardly think. She felt a little dizzy, as if her whole world was collapsing...

What on earth happened to make it like this?

She was puzzled, and her questions were drowned out by everyone's words and disappeared.

The image on the screen faded, and a new note popped up:

[The possible war between the upper and lower levels may completely disappear. ]

[The peaceful integration of the upper and lower districts is being carried out at full speed. The entire Beloberg is working at full speed and following the wheel of history. ]

[The news that Cocolia was about to abdicate to Ron spread throughout Beloberg. Whether in the upper or lower districts, people in every corner were talking about it, and everyone was shocked.]

[At the beginning, the people in the upper class district rejected Ron and did not trust him.]

[However, when the upper and lower districts were integrated, many conflicts arose. As one of the biggest promoters of the peaceful integration of the upper and lower districts, Ron stepped in to resolve most of the conflicts, and many possible bloody incidents disappeared under his guidance.]

[The people in the upper class district, who had received Ron's many favors, gradually changed their attitude towards Ron. In addition, Ron and Cocolia spared no effort to guide public opinion. In the end, the people in the upper class district no longer rejected Ron. All that was left was a small expectation for this future great guardian.]

【Everything has been fully prepared.】

Looking at the words on the light screen, Natasha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As expected of Ron, after negotiating with Cocolia, he was able to get Cocolia to abdicate to him directly...

The objections from the upper zone gradually disappeared. It seemed that he would be able to become the Great Protector of Beloberg very peacefully and completely bring the entire Beloberg under his control.

Now that she thought about it, Belloberg would stride into the new future just as she expected...

Natasha thought so in her heart, and saw a new note pop up on the light screen:

[The day before the new Grand Guardian's swearing-in ceremony, Ron came to you.]

The text on the light screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

Ron, exhausted from the journey, walked into the hotel in the middle of the night. Most of the leaders of the lower districts were arranged to stay in the hotel. After the upper and lower districts were completely integrated, they would go to their proper places under Ron's arrangement and continue to lead the Earth Fire Organization and lead the lower districts towards a new future.

As the real leader of the Earth Fire Organization, Natasha was naturally arranged here to wait for Ron's oath-taking ceremony tomorrow.

"Why did you come to me suddenly?"

Natasha smiled teasingly at Ron, who was walking towards her in a dusty state, and gently brushed the dust off his body:

"Have a good rest. Tomorrow is the Great Guardian's swearing-in ceremony... You are the protagonist."

But looking at Natasha's face, Ron was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said:

"No, Nata, I don't want to be the Great Guardian."

"Don't want to be the Great Guardian?"

Natasha was slightly stunned: "Why?"

"Because it is not enough to just become the Grand Guardian... There are too many obstacles that take away the power of the Grand Guardian. What Beloberg needs now is not a gentle Grand Guardian, but an emperor who can completely control the entire Beloberg."

"Next, we are facing the entire Rift on Yalilo-VI. It is no longer a small fight like in the lower area... My methods will become extreme, and extremes are not something a great guardian can do."

“I don’t want anyone to interrupt me from building my empire.”

Ron looked at Natasha and said seriously:

"I came to you today to talk about this... I hope you can support me, Nata."

"I have completely taken control of the Silver Mane Guard. There are not many people who can stop me now, but I don't want any objections to refute me tomorrow..."

"Bring the pioneer group and help me solve those troubles in the dark, Nata."

Chapter 4 - The Oath of Bonding with Natasha, the Greatest Guardian (5k)

The image on the screen paused, and new options appeared on it:

[Faced with Ron's request, you can't help but feel a little conflicted. ]

[The establishment of the empire will take Beloberg in a new direction... You know that extreme systems and policies will drain the blood and sweat of the people, and all this is for the revival of civilization. ]

[As the only person Ron completely trusts, you must make a choice for this——]

【1. Agree to Ron’s request.

You believe that in order to cure the planet's ills, sometimes drastic measures are needed... these are just necessary sacrifices if you want to retake the planet.

You decide to agree to Ron's request and lead some pioneers who only obey military orders to secretly eliminate all possible opposition forces and clear the obstacles for Ron to announce the establishment of an empire tomorrow.

After choosing this option, you will be excluded from the [Abundance] destiny, and your [Abundance] destiny will regress.

You will trigger the events: "The Founding of the Empire" and "???".

Because of the entry "Light and Dark Dependence", your favorability with Ron will be greatly improved. 】

【2. Reject Ron’s request.

You know how much blood is hidden in Ron's light words. If you agree to Ron's request, the blood of those who died in your hands can wash every street in Beloberg... A compassionate heart prevents you from going to the end of this road of no return.

You decide to reject Ron's request and try to convince Ron to take office as the 19th Grand Guardian of Beloberg at tomorrow's swearing-in ceremony.

After selecting this option, your [Abundance] destiny path will light up more, and you will continue to move forward on this destiny.

You may trigger events: "Establishment of the Empire (30%)", "Reform of the Presbyterian Church (70%)", and "Lost Blessing".

Your favorability with Ron will decrease slightly, and Ron's attitude towards you will change to "distrust". 】

Looking at the two options that appeared on the light screen, Natasha couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment -

No matter which of these two options you choose, the cost is simply too high.

If she chooses option one, she will not only have to betray her own ideals, but will also have to personally participate in the cleansing of opponents... The voices in favor of establishing an empire will never become the majority in the entire Beloberg. No one has had any concept of an "empire" for seven hundred years.

For this matter, you can just refer to Xier in the last simulation - in order to establish the First Empire of Yalilo, Xier ordered Ron to clear the obstacles for her.

How many people did Ron kill at that time before he suppressed all opponents with such bloody means?

This time, Natasha will stand in Ron's position in the last simulation and solve these problems for the current Ron...

It was actually difficult for her to accept this kind of thing...after all, she was just a doctor who cured and saved lives.

It was her job to save the dying and the wounded, and for her to be the leader of a massacre was just too much for her.

However, if Natasha were asked to choose option number two, she would have no way of doing it.

After all, although Option 2 has consistently implemented her philosophy and has not abandoned the destiny of [Abundance] at all, it is gradually moving further and further away from the destiny of [Abundance], and there is a high probability that it will not trigger such a bloody suppression...

But this completely disproves Ron's choice.

Natasha was clear about one thing - Ron must have his reasons for his choice. In the last simulation, Richie also used bloody means to create an empire. The benefits were obvious, and the entire Beloberg was completely under control.

And this time, as the emperor of the empire, Ron will obviously do better than Xier... She is afraid that her choice will affect Ron, causing things to develop out of control and end in a bad way.

......And choosing option number two will cause your favorability to drop.

Even though it was just a game, Natasha didn't want Ron's attitude towards her to turn into distrust.

After hesitating for a long time, Natasha finally sighed.

After all…it’s just a game.

None of this will actually happen in reality, and these bloody killings will ultimately be nothing more than a line of text on a screen.

At most, it would turn into simulated memories that would flood into her mind in the end, and these killings would become heavy memories weighing on her, leaving her alone to bear the guilt that was about to overflow from the bottom of her heart.

…But Natasha didn’t care.
