"Who are you!?"

With just one sentence, Mikael became anxious - it really wasn't that he had low mental quality or that he couldn't hold his breath. If you think about it carefully, he was leading the team well and the plan was going according to plan. Suddenly, A mysterious communication came. Not only did he name his biggest trump card, he even directly stated his future actions... Even everyone had to be anxious.

I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go along the virtual world and drag this mysterious man out!

But in the next moment, Mikael calmed down: "There is no one who can know this, unless you also know the father's plan, or you are a prophet..."

"Which of my brothers and sisters are you? Or which prophet? What did you foresee?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." The voice whose identity was hidden said: "What matters is your actions - due to the continuous trauma and internal crisis, Feiyandi will shrink within a period of time, and will be defeated in fact, and the whole world will be threatened. If you have the potential to win, you will achieve the fifth level at that time and raise the flag of rebellion against your father."

"You have never behaved like this. In the past, you were even somewhat unknown. Compared to Carlos and Alegria, you have not shown any interest in the throne except for your strength. I don't think this is the case. It's hiding and deceiving. It's true that you have no interest in the throne, but if that's the case, why did you raise the flag of rebellion?"

"It turns out to be a prophet...don't you know?"

After a moment of silence, Mikael laughed.

At this moment, he said quite relaxedly: "If you don't know, does that mean that in the future, my beloved father will not carry out his actions?"

"He lost? I won? That's why you can't see his successful future?"

"If that's the case, why do you need to know."

"No."

The voice hiding his identity, or in other words, Ian hiding his identity said: "You failed. You were imprisoned in the imperial capital, as the energy heart of the imperial capital... The empire shrank because of your rebellion, and the entire continent also fell into the trap for some reason. A huge disaster occurred...the Great Schism event, every country and major force was divided, and the whole world became chaotic."

"That kind of world is not impossible. I mainly want to know why you gave up the possibility of 'the empire unifying the world' and the empire's tendency to unify Terra to fight against your father."

This is no joke.

If we say that Mikael has obtained the inheritance of the true dragon ancestor or mentor true dragon, and has the possibility of becoming the fifth level, then counting the commander of the first legion, the three fifth levels of the Warcraft race and the guardian of the land, There are four fifth-level people in the empire, two of whom are members of the royal family.

This kind of power will completely crush the entire Terra. Most of the major forces only have one or two fifth-level powers, and they may not be able to work together. On the Empire side, two are royals, and one is loyal to the royal family. An iron fist loyal to the emperor... unless all of Terra joins forces to fight against it (even Inaga II does not have this treatment), otherwise, we will have to wait for the empire to slowly expand and finally achieve the unification of Terra.

However, Mikael's rebellion shattered all this - the empire was actually divided. Carlos and Alegria turned the empire into a battlefield, and other countries were almost the same.

The whole of Terra was in a mess and turned into a mess... If Mikael and Axel had joined forces at that time, it would have been easy to unify Terra.

Why did he do this? This is why Ian couldn't help himself and immediately came over to send a direct message.

"Did I lose..."

After pondering for a while, Mikael was not surprised at all, but felt that he had expected it.

He closed his eyes and said slowly after a while: "Actually, until now, I don't dare to be 100% sure of my father's madness...or sanity."

"Do you know about artificial souls and related psyker experiments?" He asked: "No matter who you are, since you are so concerned about the situation of our empire, then you must know that the psychic powers that the Academy of Gnosis and the Academy of Truth are responsible for experiment and transformation plan for Ascendants, right?”

"I know." Ian replied without hesitation.

"Research shows." Mikael said slowly: "The existence of spiritual energy and soul can change a person's personality and even way of thinking. Coordinating the differences between the body and soul and integrating them into one is the light of the heart. The source of the body.”

"Then on the other hand, if we control the body with the soul, and completely transform the human mind with the soul...can we also step into another third energy level?"

"If we continue to delve deeper...if the soul can be used to completely transform people's thinking, then can the 'artificial soul' also achieve this possibility, transforming the original person into more loyal, more determined, more obedient and consistent?"

Ian frowned, and Mikael sneered: "Listen, I don't care if you are Carlos, Alegria, or any other prophet, even Ian. It doesn’t matter…I just want you to know that this is a possibility.”

"If my father's purpose is to transform everyone in the empire into puppets who obey his orders and obey his desires, what do you think? Are you willing to agree with him?"

Ian was silent.

He thought of the 'mentally retarded', 'brain-deficient' and 'brain-damaged' people in his territory who had been transformed by artificial souls.

They do have normal wisdom and thinking patterns because of the inlay of artificial souls.

Ian didn't add his own stamp of 'true to himself' to these people, but he could have added it if he wanted to.

Of course, with his status, strength, and favor to these people, they would be completely loyal to him without the soul seal.

But……

"Is that so, based on the transformation of the soul system?"

Although Ian didn’t think that this was Axel’s purpose—if this was the purpose, then Axel still had some unexplainable behaviors—but Ian still followed Mikael’s words and said: “Then look Come on, is the recent popularity of artificial souls the trigger for your rebellion?"

“It’s still acceptable to the first generation.”

Mikael said calmly: "But if all the newborns in the empire are inoculated with artificial souls in the new generation, then they will no longer be called complete humans from the moment they are born."

"As soon as they are born, they are someone's slaves, the slaves of the original designer of artificial souls. Why do people who are not free exist? I absolutely cannot accept such a future."

Saying this, the Sun God Bird's tone contained a hint of determination: "I learned this in the Awak Laboratory, so I knew that my father who supported the existence of the Awak Laboratory was something I would never tolerate. Enemies to live with.”

"How? Are you satisfied with this answer? Unknown stranger?"

"I'm very satisfied." Ian said slowly: "It can explain some things, but it can't explain everything...the second prince of the empire...but this makes me feel strange again."

"If you are an ordinary emperor and prince, you will hope that their people will obey them. You will also be the emperor of the empire in the future. Why don't you hope that the people of the entire empire will devote all their hearts to you and achieve your great achievements? Woolen cloth?"

"In the final analysis, you are a vested interest. Even if the future is really going to develop like this, why don't you help your father unify Terra, and then restore all the changes after your father's death - wouldn't it be better and the benefits would be greater? The big ending?”

"I can't accept it, so I'm going to object."

Mikael said calmly: "It's that simple, there is no other reason."

After a moment of silence, just when Ian thought these were Mikael's last words, he seemed to hesitate a little and said softly: "Maybe... we feel sympathy for each other."

"After all... I'm not sure that the me now is the 'original me'."

"Even if it's for me in the beginning, I have to fight against it."

After saying this, Mikael ended the communication.

Apparently, he didn't really enjoy talking to the Prophet - the lack of privacy felt terrible.

When Ian heard all this, he was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"interesting……"

He whispered: "The first me...?"

He thought of the words of Marquis Barton.

The original Axel was not the character he is today... So, was the original Mikael really the character he is now?

Just like myself, in terms of personality, I am completely different from the original Ian, right?

In the beginning, Ian even liked to tell some boring engineer jokes, but now, apart from remembering that he had an engineer label and some related memories, he probably can't remember much about how he worked back then.

Oh, I still remember a cold joke about a water dispenser. It seems that this is a label that spans time and space.

Moreover, Ian didn't think Mikael's suspicion was wrong.

Because he can indeed do it.

If he can do it, he can turn all the new generation of Silver Peak leaders into his own puppets and loyal believers.

In fact, in the City of Knowledge, the question asked by Crown Prince Qingting was also related to technology... The other party bluntly expressed his desire to brainwash the people. The ruler of the Terra world did not hesitate.

However, Ian didn't think so.

It's not because of boring reasons like morality... It's mainly because I'm too tired.

To achieve the highest efficiency of 'Soul Seal Slavery', Ian needs to adjust the details of the artificial soul one by one, stipulate the specific actions and tasks of each person, let the other party develop their most advantageous talents, and also gather people with similar talents. Together, if the method of control is to click on the game, your hands will definitely be exhausted.

What? Don’t need maximum efficiency?

You don't need the highest efficiency, why do you have to enslave other people with your soul!

Little do they know that people can oppress themselves and oppress and enslave their own creatures for the sake of their dreams! Compared to forced brainwashing, Ian is better at drawing cakes and using desire to turn everyone into 'their own slaves'.

Even... give everyone the opportunity to transform themselves.

Meditation, that's what it is.

Meditation has a hidden function. When a person practices meditation to a certain extent, he can freely reshape his own 'personality'.

People who were originally arrogant can choose humility; people who were originally arrogant can choose peace.

People who are originally lazy can choose to be diligent, and people who are originally surly can choose to be friendly.

Human character, thoughts and the soul itself are like clay that can be shaped at will in the face of ether and spiritual energy. Rather than leaving the power to change oneself in the hands of others and kneeling at the mercy of others, it is better to do it yourself and transform the human body. Eliminate all the weak and powerless aspects of yourself and transform yourself into a better version of yourself.

Just like a prodigal son who was originally extremely decadent, arrogant and licentious, but suddenly repented due to a huge impact, the prodigal son turned back and became a good person. If the meditation method is practiced to a certain depth, the practitioner can control his own character and artificially perform the prodigal son's return. .

In this way, there is no need for forced soul seal brainwashing - as long as a person has the desire to become better, he can continue to transform himself... until he is completely different from his original self.

Of course, this choice is actually a bit too much. After all, many people choose to transform themselves impulsively, and they will regret it later... But the question is, if regret is useful, then how come there are so many regrets in this world.

For this reason, Ian has never disclosed the technology of 'self-transformation'.

"I have a vague idea of ​​what the emperor is going to do...but in so many parallel time and spaces, I haven't found any large-scale soul seals applied to the empire, which proves that Axel didn't do it, or was stopped every time."

Ian doesn't think Axel is that unlucky. There is no success in infinite parallel time and space. This can only show that he can't distinguish the success or failure of Axel's plan by looking at the parallel time and space dimly. The other party's actions are Subtly, this is correct.

After retracting his thoughts, Ian contacted Mikael this time not just to alert the enemy. He also wanted to remind this 'financier' who was quite optimistic about him and let him think about why he lost.

If he could be slower, it would be best to wait until he reaches the peak of the fourth stage of the Herald of Steel and can activate the fifth-level organ... By then, Ian will have the confidence to face Axel and go See for yourself what this emperor is going to do.

I believe that with his help, Mikael, who has advanced to the fifth level, may have a chance to defeat his father.

It was at this time.

The dark gold dragon that has arrived around the Holy Mountain has received a message from the Holy Mountain.

【Mr. Mahdi Yougu】

A soft voice sounded, but with extremely terrifying pressure: [Please stop flying, flying units without a license are not allowed in the Holy Mountain territory, please come to the ground, we will issue a license for you]

[Also, welcome to Huaiguang Holy Land]

[Place of eternal gaze]
