Chapter 494: #494 - Section 494

There weren't even Master-level or Diamond-level experts left.

All that remained in the entire star system were some regular troops and civilians.

They had become pawns abandoned by the Kaiyuan World.

They had also become nourishment for the Zerg.

It's difficult to say whether the Kaiyuan World or the Zerg were good or evil.

The Kaiyuan World abandoned its people, and Jiang Wang showed no mercy whatsoever.

In fact, to some extent, Anna destroyed everything in the entire star system to vent her anger.

For her own selfish reasons, for the sake of one person,

Anna chose to let the entire star system die.

But are the Zerg inherently evil?

Not necessarily.

In the eyes of the world, Jiang Wang is evil, and the Zerg are evil.

But what about those innocent civilians?

They worked diligently and strived hard.

Although there were many dregs among these civilians, societal outcasts and human scum,

they were ultimately a minority.

Yet, even so, they died.

War is cruel, and the universe is even crueler.

The law of the jungle prevails.

The big fish eats the small fish.

When powerful ability users appear, the weak can only pray.

Pray that they won't be affected and killed by the battles of the powerful.

Were the civilians slaughtered by the Zerg on this star system truly innocent?

Yes and no.

Because they paid taxes to Kaiyuan, they were a cog in Kaiyuan's growing national power, and it could even be said that they were bullets fired at the Star Alliance and the Zerg.

From this perspective, they were not innocent.

Under an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

But they were born in Kaiyuan, grew up here, worked here...

Was that their fault?

It wasn't their fault.

So, from this perspective, they were pitiful innocents.

Under the might of the strong, the rights of the weak to survive are difficult to guarantee.

Just like on this star system, Master-level experts, high-ranking officials, and valuable scientists had already left...

This is the damned law of the universe.

This is the damned world.

And with the destruction of this star system,

Kaiyuan's higher-ups also received news of a full-scale Zerg invasion.

Coupled with their inability to contact the Emperor, they had no choice but to announce a fact to all the people within Kaiyuan.

That is, Kaiyuan had reached a moment of life-and-death crisis.

With the emergence of this news, all the people within Kaiyuan quickly fell into panic.

Fortunately, Kaiyuan's internal affairs had countermeasures in place, and they had even brainwashed the people in advance.

This was thanks to the existence of the Star Alliance.

After all, the reason Kaiyuan treated these people as human beings and spent a lot of effort to brainwash them was entirely because of the existence of the Star Alliance.

They wanted to make the people of Kaiyuan hate the people of the Star Alliance in their hearts through brainwashing.

Furthermore, they subtly made it impossible for the people of the Star Alliance to recognize themselves through this method.

They began to doubt themselves.

To some extent, this is called instigation, espionage, propaganda, a CPU between countries...

Originally, Kaiyuan had already won this war of public opinion, after all, the Star Alliance itself seemed united, but in reality, many dissenting voices had emerged.

As a result, just as they were preparing to completely disband the Star Alliance, Jiang Wang appeared.

He not only changed the course of the war, but even plunged Kaiyuan into a crisis.

As Kaiyuan released the Zerg's exterminationist slaughter and various other deeds,

countless people were frightened, but also stirred up with indignation...

They vowed to resist the Zerg to the end.

Even fanatics took to the streets and roared and marched madly...

Faced with this scene, the higher-ups of Kaiyuan were somewhat pleasantly surprised.

They were both surprised by the people's understanding and happy that they didn't have to use a lot of resources to control the control switches behind these artificial people.

But A Yi couldn't be happy in the face of this scene.

Chapter 517: Heading to the Star Alliance.

As the leader of Kaiyuan after the Emperor's disappearance,

he knew more of the inside story.

He knew the power of the Zerg, knew the resources of the empire, and knew that their previous methods were likely to be ineffective against Jiang Wang.

Because they couldn't possibly divide the Zerg internally through a war of public opinion...

To some extent, the Zerg were a race that would not collapse, even if the combat attrition had reached 90%, they would still roar and charge towards the enemy.

But they themselves were different.

They were humans, even if they were artificial humans, these people possessed the same emotions as humans.

Humans would be afraid and fearful.

The current people would be angry in the face of the Zerg's bloody slaughter, because they were not yet fearful enough.

Based on the degree of terror of the Zerg reported by professional soldiers like Claude, once the Zerg really appeared in the people's sight, then the current situation of unity against the outside world would definitely change.

After all, any force at any time does not lack traitors.

Especially in times of life and death.

Even if the current attitude of the Zerg was unwilling to accept prisoners.

What about the Star Alliance?

What would their attitude be?

With his understanding of Zhou Qian, he would certainly not miss such an opportunity to instigate rebellion, and then Kaiyuan would really have no chance of winning.

So he was prepared to directly activate the control backdoor of those artificial humans.

He was going to fight Jiang Wang to the death.

In fact, he had considered surrendering.

But he clearly knew what price the Emperor had paid in order to preserve Kaiyuan at that time.

Moreover, the Emperor at that time had even brought out the Abyss.

He didn't have such ability...

He didn't tell his thoughts to the civil and military officials.

Because although some of these people were also artificial humans,

although he could guarantee that he could freely choose to control those people,

it was difficult to guarantee that these people would not stop his plan.

After all, no one would like to hand over the right to control their own lives to others.

At the same time, on the other side.

The Star Alliance also received Anna's message and the Zerg's unbridled slaughter...

The Zerg's actions were simply gratifying to them.

This feeling was as if the Zerg were slaughtering the little days...

But at this critical moment,

a slight voice slowly probed out from the fervor of cheers.

This voice was like a block of ice suddenly dropped on a raging fire.

Although it was no different from the overall situation, it also extinguished the original fervor of some people.

"Jiang Wang's massive slaughter, while it would be gratifying if he really defeated Kaiyuan."

"But who can guarantee that his next target will be the Myriad Races?"

"Or are the Zerg regarding all of us as prey?"

Although such a voice was weak, it did make many conspiracy theorists ecstatic.
