At this rate,
Assassination Court No. 3 will soon become the most powerful assassin organization in the world! Moreover, with No. 3's management skills, the concept of this assassin organization will soon break through people's traditional perception of assassin organizations as simply 'underground forces in the dark world,' and become a significant and powerful force in the world!
However, No. 3 is unable to pose a threat to No. 1.
Because the source of No. 3's power is a Red Name Class Holder that humans can never tolerate! As long as No. 1 holds this handle on No. 3, No. 1 has the ability to destroy No. 3 and the assassin organization established by No. 3 at any time..
"A side door approach."
You calmly gave such a comment.
Your clone No. 1 quickly shifted his gaze away from No. 3's Assassination Court, because compared to No. 3, who is developing in the Southern Federation, the current No. 1 and the Salvation Society are now facing the first severe challenge since the establishment of the Salvation Society!
That is: the Transcendence Separation Act!
In the development blueprint drawn by No. 1 for the Salvation Society.
The Salvation Society's development towards the mortal world, the large-scale establishment of war weapon laboratories, war weapon production factories, and the opening of awakening to the Salvation Society's mortal members are the three core goals that the Salvation Society cannot bypass no matter what!
And these three core goals will, without exception, seriously violate the Transcendence Separation Act established by the Class Holders' Guild and the seven major human federations!
Under the management of Lofa, Alaya's number one dog, the Class Holders' Guild will definitely not ignore this. Even if there are huge interest groups behind the Salvation Society, they still cannot shake Lofa's will.
In other words, the Salvation Society and the Class Holders' Guild will inevitably move towards opposition..
No. 1 was mentally prepared for this.
Right now, the first collision between the Salvation Society and the order maintained by the Class Holders' Guild has already occurred inevitably..
March 20th.
In less than a week since the establishment of the Salvation Society's Secular Department, the number of registered mortal members has reached a staggering 150,000!
Such an astonishing move naturally cannot be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Donghua City Government.. Moreover, unlike the Salvation Society in the previous simulation, which only began to establish the Secular Department after its strength had developed to a certain extent, the current Salvation Society has only been established for less than half a year..
Although the strength of your clones is indeed far beyond any time node in the previous simulation.
However, the federal officials in Donghua City and even the Eastern Province do not know the true strength of the clones.
All they can see is the terrifying potential displayed by the Salvation Society, and their awe of the Salvation Society is not as profound as the Salvation Society in the previous simulation, which had already cultivated three well-known battle groups.
Therefore, when they realized that the Salvation Society was violating the Transcendence Separation Act on a large scale, the city officials of Donghua City immediately launched an investigation into the Salvation Society!
According to the report of Shangguan Lingwei, the actual manager of the Salvation Society.
The investigators of Donghua City have basically grasped the conclusive evidence of the Salvation Society's violation of the Transcendence Separation Act.
This cannot be blamed on Shangguan Lingwei for not having the ability to stop the city government's investigation. The extent to which the Salvation Society violated the Transcendence Separation Act was already blatant, and there was no need for much investigation. Just taking a walk on the street would basically be enough to grasp the evidence of the Salvation Society's violation of the Transcendence Separation Act.
The biggest problem now is.
As the Salvation Society's crimes of violating the Transcendence Separation Act were confirmed.
According to the news revealed by the contacts bought by the Salvation Society within the city government, the Donghua City Government has already passed a resolution in the city government meeting to deal with a series of Salvation Society executives, including No. 1, No. 2, Shangguan Lingwei, and Zong Heng.
Although Shangguan Lingwei was very surprised why a mere Donghua City Government dared to have the confidence to challenge the Salvation Society.
However, your clone No. 1 is very clear about this. The reason why the Donghua City Government in this simulation is so 'bold' is ultimately because the Salvation Society was established for too short a time and its deterrent power to the outside world is insufficient.
Even many core members of the Salvation Society cannot figure out how powerful the Salvation Society is, let alone external forces such as the Donghua City Government.
In their eyes, the image of the Salvation Society may still just be a student society composed of 'students'. As the federal agency with the greatest power, it is very normal to have a natural arrogance and sense of superiority towards such student organizations as the Salvation Society.
In addition, although the Salvation Society has a large number of personnel.
However, the federal officials do not think that these students will have the courage to resist the city government in the face of the federal sanctions representing the law and justice.
Because of the short development time, the religious fanaticism of the Salvation Society is far from reaching the level of the Salvation Society's Secular Department in the previous simulation.
In the previous simulation, the federal city government did not dare to take action against the Salvation Society, and even regarded the Salvation Society as an enemy that could not be provoked, because at that time, the members of the Salvation Society had already shown a madness to follow No. 1 and ignore the law.
Most of the federal officials themselves actually have quite weak power. Not to mention in the Awakened era, even in the former era of order, managers mostly relied on the blessing of the law to run rampant.
The law can be said to be their only weapon to sanction others. Once they encounter lunatics who disregard the law, these high-ranking managers can immediately learn to put down their airs and understand how to assess the situation without being taught.
In other words, the reason why the current Donghua City Government dares to make a decision to sanction the Salvation Society is because the Salvation Society has not shown the ferocity to dare to ignore the law in their eyes!
"Sometimes, being too low-key can also lead to unnecessary trouble."
No. 1 let out such a sigh.
Then he instructed Shangguan Lingwei on the other end of the phone: "Don't be afraid of the city government's investigation and affect our normal development progress, and don't worry about any sanctions from the Donghua City Government.. Want to arrest us, just relying on a mere Donghua City? I think he ate too much kimchi, and the bacteria exceeded the standard and burned his brain."
"But how should we deal with the upcoming law enforcement officers? The city government's power is naturally not worth worrying about, but if we openly oppose the city government, the provincial government and even the central government will not ignore this.."
This is the most troublesome problem for Shangguan Lingwei.
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of from the city government.
But the city government represents the face of the federation and is one of the federal administrative agencies.
Resisting the city government is resisting the provincial government and resisting the order of the federation. If you are not careful, you may be labeled as an illegal organization by the federation and start a war with the federation.
And the current Salvation Society obviously does not have the ability to start a war with the federation..
"Then let's start a war."
No. 1 said as a matter of course: "If the federation wants to start a war with us for this reason, then what reason do we have not to retaliate against the federation?"
"..."
Silently listening to No. 1's voice coming from the microphone.
Shangguan Lingwei was stunned for several seconds before taking a deep breath and pressing No. 1's 'rebellious' remarks into her heart.
Of course, No. 1 would not delegate such an important matter entirely to Shangguan Lingwei.
In fact, as soon as he hung up the phone with Shangguan Lingwei, No. 1 contacted No. 2 and gave No. 2 the same instructions.
Different from Shangguan Lingwei, who is a human being and has lived under the laws of the federation for a long time and has awe of the federation.
As a clone, No. 2 was much more direct with No. 1's orders, and immediately told No. 1 to rest assured.
"Those guys from the city government also have this courage? Don't worry, brother, I guarantee they won't even be able to touch the gate of the Salvation Society."
No. 2 said confidently.
As he successfully transferred to a Sky-level Class Holder.
No. 2's strength rating among Sky-level Class Holders has also been revealed.
Superior Sky-level Mage!
This means that No. 2's strength at the beginning of the Sky-level is also first-class among Sky-level Class Holders! Even if you look at the whole world, most Sky-level Class Holders are not his opponents, let alone a mere city in Donghua City.
Now he has formed the Dragon Breath Mage Group, coupled with the war skill technology inherited from the last simulation, even if Donghua City dispatches the Platinum Star and Tomorrow After Day, the two major C-level battle groups, they cannot be his opponents!
So, on March 22nd.
When a group of city government law enforcement officers holding arrest warrants came to Donghua University, naming No. 1, No. 2, and Shangguan Lingwei and other Salvation Society executives suspected of violating the Transcendence Separation Act.
Before Shangguan Lingwei could think about how to deal with it, No. 2, who had received the news and rushed back to the Salvation Society's residence, had already appeared in front of the law enforcement officers!
"Suspect Lin Erke, right?"
Seeing No. 2's arrival.
The Donghua City law enforcement officer thought that No. 2 had come to surrender himself. A leader who looked less than thirty years old immediately raised the arrest warrant high and pasted it in front of No. 2, and said loudly: "The Salvation Society, as a Class Holder force, disregards the Transcendence Separation Act and expands and exerts influence on ordinary civilians who are not Class Holders on a large scale. After a decision by the Donghua City Government representative meeting, it unanimously recognized that the Salvation Society violated the sacred Transcendence Separation Act, and now arrests a group of leading executives of the Salvation Society! Lin Erke, you are one of the arrest targets, take him away!"
Saying that.
Two law enforcement officer followers immediately took out handcuffs excitedly and grabbed No. 2 without saying a word!
Then, there was no then.
A lightning chain jumped out from the fingertips of your clone No. 2.
The next moment, the jumping lightning arc instantly enveloped the law enforcement officer team in front of them! In a burst of dazzling electric light, the law enforcement officers who were still showing off their power in the previous second had instantly turned into ashes on the ground..
Limited by the number of jumps of the lightning chain skill.
No. 2's attack actually failed to completely destroy the entire law enforcement team!
After the electric light, in addition to a pile of ashes on the ground, there were still two law enforcement officers standing intact in the back, but that was just superficially intact..
The two law enforcement officers who witnessed their predecessors in front of them turn into ashes all over the ground in just the blink of an eye, their brains were already blank at this moment! The unprecedented feeling of death and fear, like an omnipresent fog, frantically surrounded them from the inside out! Only No. 2's smiling face, which has not changed from beginning to end, is constantly magnified in their pupils! Finally!!
"Ah~~!"
Along with a scream of fear.
The two law enforcement officers collapsed and turned around to run! One of them tripped over himself in fright, but in less than seconds, he crawled up again and ran madly towards the outside of the campus!
And your clone No. 2 just smiled and watched all this, without any intention of continuing to take action and kill them all.
No. 1's meaning is already very clear.
The reason why the Donghua City Government dared to take action against the Salvation Society is nothing more than the insufficient deterrent power of the Salvation Society.
Killing these law enforcement officers is an easy task for No. 2, but if you kill these law enforcement officers, who will tell the city government how terrible the Salvation Society is?!
As for the subsequent chain reaction?
It doesn't matter, anyway, No. 1 will take care of it!
Holding this idea and being unscrupulous, No. 2 smiled and turned to look at a group of Salvation Society members who had gathered around with the arrival of the law enforcement officers.
Somewhat surprisingly, he found that these members who had joined the Salvation Society for a short time, in addition to being filled with fear and shock at No. 2's killing of the city government law enforcement officers, actually faintly concealed excitement and excitement that ordinary people could not easily detect!
The scene of scattering in a panic or being full of panic after killing the city government as expected did not appear.
The fear and shock in the eyes of these Salvation Society members were gradually completely replaced by excitement and admiration! After a brief silence, No. 2 was stunned to find that these members of the Salvation Society actually began to surround him and shout like they saw an idol!
'Humans are really strange creatures.'
Looking at these Salvation Society members who were not only not afraid, but also unusually excited, with some difficulty in understanding.
Under No. 2's smiling face, there was full of doubt.
Obviously, he killed the city government's law enforcement officers, which may be attacked by the federation, which in turn involves the Salvation Society and involves a group of members of the Salvation Society.
But these members are not only not afraid, but also look very happy?
Could it be that in the month he completed the transfer task, No. 1 gave them a stronger brainwashing?
I can't figure it out.
No. 2 simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, his task has been completed, perfectly blocking the city government's law enforcement officers outside the gate of the Salvation Society, preventing them from damaging the Salvation Society's prestige.
As for why the members of the Salvation Society showed such strange reactions, that is something that No. 1 needs to consider.
Of course, it also includes how to deal with the federation's subsequent counterattack!
So.
That day.
The Donghua City high-level officials who received the report from the two law enforcement officers who escaped fell into dead silence!
These law enforcement officers who were assigned to deal with the Salvation Society were not ordinary people without the power to restrain a chicken.
In order to deal with corresponding emergencies, these law enforcement officers were all selected from the major city government law enforcement systems, and were at least Silver-level Class Holders.
The leader was the only Gold-rank professional in the Donghua City law enforcement agency, a retired veteran of the Battle Group, with considerable strength!
Yet, this powerful team of enforcers, led by such a professional, was wiped out by Number Two in a mere instant! Not even charred remains were left, only ashes!
What does this imply?
Natural lightning, with hundreds of millions of volts, only turns people into charred corpses!
But Number Two, with a casual strike, can turn people into ashes!
So the question arises.
What level of professional is Lin Erke of the Salvation Society?!
"Without a doubt, Lin Erke is at least a Sky-rank professional..."
The mayor pinched his brow in bitterness.
In front of the Donghua City government's senior officials, he was the first to break the silence: "However, regardless of Lin Erke's rank, and regardless of how much hidden power the Salvation Society possesses, the situation has developed to a point where we can no longer retreat!"
"In any case, the Salvation Society's violation of the Transcendent Governance Act is a fact! Not to mention they are now openly resisting arrest, and even brutally murdered ten law enforcement officers! Whether it's to uphold the rule of law of the Federation, or to simply punish evil, we can no longer allow the Salvation Society to continue to grow!"
"But we don't have the ability to fight a Sky-rank professional," a representative exposed the harsh reality facing Donghua City: "Moreover, the Salvation Society is a massive Awakened force with over seventy thousand professional members! Do you know what that means?"
"If you don't, I can tell you that all the active professionals in Donghua City, including those in the military, only add up to a little over two thousand! Even if we include all the members of the Tomorrow After and Platinum Star Battle Groups, the combined professional forces would not exceed five thousand!"
"Do you want to use our five thousand people to fight the Salvation Society, which has a Sky-rank mage and a membership fifteen times our size?"
Although it's unlikely that all seventy thousand members of the Salvation Society would fight the Federation for the sake of a scholarly organization.
Even if only one-tenth of the Salvation Society's members are incited by Number One and the others, it would still be a powerful force that Donghua City cannot withstand.
All because Number Two, a confirmed Sky-rank mage, has appeared in the Salvation Society! As the best class for group battles among the nine major classes, in a battle group-level fight, the strength displayed by a single Number Two is likely to be even greater than that of the Tomorrow After and Platinum Star Battle Group leaders!
Everyone has to consider the consequences of angering the Salvation Society, and think about the terrible impact it would have on Donghua City if the entire Salvation Society rebelled under the leadership of a Sky-rank mage! Can the Donghua City management sitting here withstand this impact?
Unfortunately, the answer is undoubtedly no...
"In any case, first summon all members of the Tomorrow After and Platinum Star Battle Groups back."
The mayor took a deep breath, feeling his head ache even more: "The development of the situation has exceeded our control. As for how to deal with the Salvation Society in the future, let the provincial government decide!"
Although such a heinous incident occurred during his tenure, once reported to the provincial government, his position as mayor would basically be over.
But the Salvation Society's growth is simply too terrifying! Number Two directly showed the mayor that they don't take the city government seriously at all...
No one can guarantee what actions the Salvation Society will take next.
If they continue to let it go, it's obviously not just a matter of whether or not they can keep their official positions!
It was while the high-level officials of Donghua City were discussing how to deal with the Salvation Society.
On the other side, Number One also received a complaint from Shangguan Lingwei about Number Two...
Just like the Donghua City government was wary of the Salvation Society.
Shangguan Lingwei, who was appointed as the manager of the Salvation Society by Number One, was also afraid of the Federation's sanctions.
She thought that Number Two or Number One would have a more appropriate way to handle the city government's investigation, such as using the power of the Salvation Society's vast organizations and consortia to force the city government to abandon the investigation into the Salvation Society.
But Number Two insisted on adding fuel to the fire! Killing more than ten law enforcement officers in one go!
Shangguan Lingwei finally experienced the taste of her clone, Number Three...
As the manager of the Salvation Society, the unbridled actions of Number One and Number Two are indeed not something that ordinary managers can withstand.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Lingwei's complaint against Number Two did not elicit any response from Number One to stop or blame Number Two.
On the contrary, Number One simply smiled and didn't care about Number Two's actions of killing law enforcement officers.
"It's just eliminating a few ignorant lackeys, what kind of trouble can it cause?"
In Shangguan Lingwei's astonished gaze.
Number One's face showed no fluctuation, only a natural sense of normalcy: "The Salvation Society should have shown its power to these decadent weaklings long ago! City government? Federation? So what? This world, in the final analysis, is still dominated by the strong, and only the strong are qualified to talk about everything!"
"Erke is strong, so he killed the law enforcement officers. Conversely, if the law enforcement officers were strong enough, what would the Salvation Society look like now? What would you, I, Erke, Zong Heng, and the Salvation Society that we have worked so hard to build look like?"
"Lions will not give way to the migration of antelopes, and salmon will only become the fat for brown bears to get through the winter when they pass through the territory of brown bears..."
"And the Salvation Society is the lion, is the brown bear! We cannot compromise our own development because of the so-called laws made by the Federation, and we cannot be submissive in the face of the Federation."
"In this world, the strong are always strong, and the weak die, it's that simple! If the Federation can really destroy the Salvation Society, it can only prove that we are not strong enough!!"
