Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

His body was trembling.

He had even lost the courage to resist Kant as he approached.

However, at this moment, the foldable LCD screen on the top of the bridge automatically unfolded and fell. Someone with higher command authority had done this through remote command.

The screen automatically lit up. A person was sitting at the table with a serious expression.

It was the guy he had seen on television and on the Internet…President of the Fifth Republic of France.

Behind him was a bright white.

Kant.”

The ruler of Europe’s old military power spoke.

With a warm and friendly smile of a politician, he said,”We finally meet. I’m…”

As he spoke, the simultaneous interpretation sounded.

Kant interrupted his self-introduction.” Hello, Mr. President. Nice to meet you.”

He knew who the other party was and what his name was. There was really no need to say it.

The other party nodded and said,”Yes, me too…”

” Really?” Kant smiled.” Is that true?” Or was it a fake courtesy? I said that I was very happy to see you because I had slapped your faces twice in a row, and you had no choice but to shamelessly come to my door to lose face. Seeing that you hated me to death but had no choice but to sue for peace made me very happy, so I wanted to ask, why are you happy? How happy are you?”

The president was listening to the interpreter. He could even hear the soft, stammering translation through the audio equipment on the screen. Kant was sure that his words had been conveyed well.

Because Mr. President’s expression was getting stiffer and stiffer.

As expected of the ruler of a powerful country in the world. The most important thing in politics was shamelessness.

He forcefully changed his mood and said in a sincere tone,” I know that you are hostile towards us. This is a very normal thing. For the sake of Fabersi’s national interests, we have indeed done many inappropriate things and caused you harm. If the sweetness of the fruits of victory can calm you down, you can continue to vent your anger until you can talk to me calmly.”

Kant was pleasantly surprised when he heard that.

“Is it really possible?” he asked. You can scold anything?”

The president’s face twitched imperceptibly.” Sure.”

Kant picked up his phone and searched for Zuan’s eight stocks.

He was ashamed that the fragrance in his mouth was not enough and had to rely on external forces to liven things up.

“Then can I record the process?” he asked.

After all, Weibo, Twitter, and Facebook, as ambitious and principled American companies, would not block the video of the French president being badmouthed.

Mr. President seemed to have realized this.

He looked like he was eating shit.

The politician was still trying to break the ice with his shameless communication skills. He said,” Alright, let’s get straight to the point, Kant. We have had many conflicts and unpleasantness between us. I apologize officially for this. Fabixi will do her best to compensate you. There will definitely be a satisfactory outcome. But now, what I want to discuss with you is another problem…There is another more pressing problem.”

The camera above the screen allowed the president to overlook the scenery in the bridge.

He turned a blind eye to the crew members who were detained at the side and his gaze fell on Big Bob.

“Regarding this person’s life and death…Bob Burrow.”

Kant’s gaze turned to Big Bob. To be precise, it was the hand he was hiding behind his back. When he walked into the cabin door, this guy had probably used his phone to inform the French government.

And that was not all.

Even the lord of our country was moved.

It seemed that this time, it was not limited to just one country.

The interpreter’s voice continued.” There is no doubt that he is a war criminal. He has committed crimes against humanity. Everyone knows of his crimes. No matter how cruel the punishment is, it is reasonable for him. But sometimes, Kant, we can’t be too one-sided when we look at a problem. Death alone cannot atone for his sins.”

” I know your grudges,” the president said sincerely.” I also know that no one can stop you from killing him at this moment or even in the future. But I still have to fulfill my duty and fulfill my responsibility. I have to appear before you and face your ridicule and insults…”

” You’re a f * cking * sshole,” Kant said.” You’re a * sshole * sshole.”

Sergeant Luo, the Chinese soldier at the cabin door, choked hard.

The interpreter on the television did not speak for a long time.

Kant replied politely,” I’m just responding to what you said. After all, I didn’t taunt or insult you. But you said that if I didn’t make up for what I did, I would be at a loss.”

“Please continue,” he said as he leaned against a control panel.

The French president took a deep breath for the first time.

As expected of a top politician.

” I’m not doing this for myself,” he said.” I’m not doing this for Fabixi. I’m doing this for all of humanity.” I beg you to let him go for the time being.”

” It’s not just my plea,” the president said emotionally.” It’s also from other countries. England, the United States, Russia, and even your own country. The heads of the world’s major countries, the officials, businessmen, civilians, and everyone who are fighting for their respective countries…”

” We beg you, don’t be in a hurry to kill him. Please think about it carefully.”

Kant glanced at Big Bob.

“What’s the reason?”

The president replied,” Now, it’s not just me. The heads of other countries are watching us and watching our conversation. Before this, Big Bob has already handed over the details of the ruins, including photos, videos, and information to us. He has handed them over to all the heads of state who are qualified to participate in international affairs.”

” We all saw the nest, the people he kidnapped, the huge and terrifying building, the mechanism that doesn’t need to eat and collect mysterious energy from living people…”

At this point, his face revealed a shocked and terrifying expression.

This should be the most genuine emotional reaction of the president so far.

Using humans as energy farms, raising, harvesting, and continuously using them in a way that modern technology could not understand, the powerful empathy and imagination of humans would naturally feel extremely terrifying.

The plot that should have appeared in movies and novels actually happened in reality.

This kind of transcendence was not a supernatural power that transcended mortals.

It was an unknown technology that surpassed the modern world.

” It’s scary, isn’t it, Kant? We’re in this cold universe…I’m not lonely.”

Kant remained silent.

Of course.

It was lonely.

His silence was used as a breakthrough. The president struck while the iron was hot.” Even though my university major was not in this field, I was sure at first glance when I saw the photo. This bug is definitely not a naturally evolved species, nor is it something with magical power.”

” It’s a technological creation, a complete technological creation. The creature or species that designed, created, and controlled this thing has unimaginable biological and genetic engineering abilities…We have no idea how it was created, nor do we know what kind of potential our bodies contain that can even provide energy to this terrifying insect…”

” You think so too, Kant.”

The president’s tone became heavy.” The world is changing, changing in a bad direction. I believe that this disaster is not the end, but the beginning…” Sooner or later, we’ll have to face an even greater challenge.”

“Perhaps there are some things that you don’t know…But I understand.”

“Your leader also understands.”

“Do you know what I saw in those photos and videos?”

The simultaneous interpretation also accurately conveyed the president’s mood and tone.

” Horrifying, terrifying, bewildered, desperate, frightened.”

The voice was deep and then changed.

“Also…”

The next moment, his tone gradually became high-spirited.

” Hope, opportunity, learning, innovation, leap!”

His body leaned forward slightly. This was an aggressive speech posture, showing determination and will.

” Yes, that scene was so terrifying that I can’t calm down now. However, just as the technological progress in the past few decades mostly originated from the competition of the Cold War, just as atomic energy and nuclear weapons are two sides of the same coin, I saw horror and the unknown in the image of the nest, and also saw hope.”

” It’s not a biological disaster, but a brand-new, advanced, and terrifying technological weapon. Therefore, this is also our opportunity, mankind’s opportunity!”

” This is the only reason why I’m asking you to let him live.”

” He’s the controller, discoverer, and inheritor of that hive. He can provide a large amount of information as precious research material to help us quickly study and absorb this unknown and advanced technological power. The world is changing very quickly, and terrifying things will happen every second. We have to control more power so that we can protect our country, people, freedom, and loved ones…There’s still life!”

He looked at Kant.

Kant was also looking at him.

Big Bob held his breath nervously.

“Based on my experience, if such a terrifying thing is to be completely destroyed…” Kant said,” The unknown is scary. Don’t probe into things you can’t understand.”

” The strictest security and the most advanced laboratory. We can launch a joint scientific research operation to keep everything under control,” the president hurriedly said.

” I’m not sure.” Kant’s tone was mocking.” If such lines appear in a movie, things will be messed up very quickly.”

” But this isn’t a movie.” The president said,” We are sufficiently vigilant and anxious. Kant, it’s not just me. The heads of state of other countries are watching from afar. They are watching you and us, Kant. This is our common view. We cannot miss such an opportunity.”

Kant raised his eyebrows. Including the King of Kamora?”

The president was stunned at first, but then he said calmly,”You want to invite him?” No problem, I…”

” That won’t be necessary,” Kant sighed.

” We will give enough support and repayment to Comora. Believe me, with the size of the permanent members, it’s too easy to support a country with a population of more than 800,000 to complete the leap.”

” As long as you agree, as long as you agree to let him live, you will be my friend, Fabixi’s friend, and even the friend of all mankind,” the president advised. We will remember your contribution and kindness.”

“And what if I don’t agree?”

We can guarantee that he won’t cause you any trouble. If you promise us, all the countries will be grateful to you. We hope that you can temporarily put aside your personal hatred and think from the perspective of all mankind. Other than killing him immediately, do we have a better solution and idea? For the future, for mankind.”

The president said sincerely,”As you Chinese people often say…” The big picture is important.”

He directly said those four words in Chinese.

” You have to look at the big picture and broaden your horizons. You have already proved your value and strength to us. Next, you will no longer be dealing with your ordinary friends and neighbors, but with me. You understand, right?” The president said,” No matter which country, era, or civilization, there’s no harm in making more friends. This is an indisputable truth, isn’t it?”

Think about the big picture.

Kant glanced at Big Bob.” The people who died because of him, the people of Byragon, the people of Komoira, the people who died today, the people who died in the past, and the people who died because of this incident. What do they mean to you?”

The president frowned and said,” I’ve said that we’ll make it up to them. The people are already dead. Asking Big Bob to pay with his life won’t make up for anything. We can use another way to make it up to the living and make up for the harm Big Bob has caused to the people of these two countries. Kant, an eye for an eye isn’t the best way to solve the problem. The role of the law is not to preside over revenge. Our laws are different from yours.”

The Frenchman subconsciously began to criticize.

It was like an instinct that was engraved in his DNA.

He immediately realized that his words were inappropriate and added,” We are also saddened by the casualties caused by Big Bob. However, the information and research assistance he provides can advance human technology. The results produced can also benefit the Corolla people and defend all mankind, including them. In this way, the sacrifice of people is worth it. Killing Big Bob here is the worst choice.”

“Don’t you think so?”

” Sometimes, we have to be calm and think about the bigger picture.

Kant listened in silence.

Doomsday Sound.

A terrifying whisper.

The secret of the White Fog World.

The Graywind swarm was just the beginning.

Studying it could enhance human strength.

Look at the big picture…

He slowly exhaled,”Think about the big picture…” Alright, consider the big picture.”

Big Bob let out a soft breath. Cold sweat had already covered his entire body.

The president also relaxed. He exhaled and smiled.

Then, he heard Kant speak.

Mr. President, do you know what I just thought of?”

“What?” President Fabersi smiled.

Kant said softly,”” I think of the war that happened decades ago. A group of Japanese war criminals submitted all their experimental results to the biggest victorious country in exchange for exemption from military trials. They even covered up the facts of their crimes. It is said that these scientific research materials were of great help to the U.S. Army and even the United States. They even promoted medical progress to a certain extent. MacArthur’s thoughts at that time were probably the same as yours. The overall situation was important, and such results were beneficial to his country, so he had to take a broader view.”

” As for how the research results were obtained in such a tragic way, as for the pain and despair experienced by the innocent people who were forced to participate in the experiment, it was not within his consideration. After all, they were all dead, and after all, it was a weak country that was not worth mentioning. Yes, how could the weak have their own voice?”

Big Bob’s expression changed drastically.

“But I’m not an American. I’m different from him.”

” Mr. President, the ones who died weren’t French, so you can be so relaxed and relaxed. Unfortunately, we Chinese have experienced the same pain. I understand that feeling.”

The former King of Mercenaries screamed, and his body suddenly disintegrated into countless locusts.

He flew out of the cabin crazily.

” The president of the United States is listening too, right? Listen up, don’t give me the chance to go to the United States, or I’ll dig up his grave. Now, you guys watch carefully!”

Kant’s eyes lit up with a dazzling golden light. He shook his hands, and a blazing holy light emerged from the depths of his soul and surrounded his body. Two blades of light extended from his arms, and the power of the Fire Stealer was aimed at the source!

Step forward and charge forward.

The cabin door was just a step away.

The light blade stabbed forward.

The locusts that filled the sky dissipated, and Big Bob’s illusory yet real soul was imprisoned by the holy light. Two light blades pierced through his chest, and the bridge was enveloped by the holy light. The boundary between matter and spirit was blurred.

Kant lifted Big Bob’s body from the void.

“Look into my eyes.”

A deep and dignified voice rang out.

Big Bob, who was screaming, could not resist the will of the voice. He raised his head instinctively and met Kant’s gaze. He saw destruction, nothingness, and an unknown thing that terrified him and made him unable to understand. He let out a tragic cry. A blazing light shot into his eye sockets from Kant’s eyes. Their souls were connected. He activated the power of the Fire Stealer, and his will and spirit were shattered.

In the storm of souls, Big Bob’s perfect body and soul were destroyed from the inside out.

Until the light fog dissipated.

Kant retracted his blade of light and turned to look at the screen.

His gaze was as calm as water.

The president of Fabixi witnessed all of this, and it seemed that he had yet to recover from the shock and uneasiness. Then, he finally understood what had happened, and his expression was unprecedentedly ugly.

He endured the humiliation and condescended to talk to this Asian, but in the end, he was still being played by him!

“Kant! What are you doing! What did I tell you! Why did you kill him!”

” I’m playing this game according to your rules and suggestions, Mr. President.”

Kant stared at the screen. He knew that the heads of state of other countries were probably watching.

“The big picture is the most important thing,” he said.”That’s what you said.”

The president was still furious. Do you know what this means?”

” This means that all his value has disappeared. Now, he’s a completely useless and dead Big Bob. In contrast, the world’s most powerful esper is still standing in front of you. The hive is still underground in Zhuerban. If I wanted to, I would only need a few seconds to bury it completely. With the drilling ability of humans, don’t even think about digging it out within ten years. Ruler of Faberci, will you only understand the situation if I stick this funny ship on the top of the eiffel tower?”

” That’s the situation,” Kant said sternly.” From the beginning to the end, it has been like this. I’m the big picture!”

[PS 1: Upgraded…] Sleep, sleep, sigh, I could have waited for 2077 to come, ah, jumping, jumping, jumping…
