Chapter 1056: The Disadvantages of High Pressure
There is no doubt that during the brief conversation with Gru, Zhang Cheng received a lot of important information, although so far it has not been possible to figure out which of these messages are true and which are deception and lies.
But as the saying goes, as long as a person is smart enough, even fake news has considerable reference value.
When the unidentified creature made of mysterious metal turned away, the magic tower returned to its former serenity and serenity.
Except for the monsters hidden within the vast underground labyrinth, nothing at all makes a sound.
To be exact, the things that make sounds have long since been cleaned up, and even the insects have died, leaving only the primeval forest with no end in sight.
Looking at the oval-shaped metal egg left by the other party before leaving, Zhang Cheng smiled and muttered to himself: "It's really an interesting life form, it can actually integrate the rules of the universe into such a small thing, causing it to produce all kinds of changes." I'm not a vegetarian either, so wait and see, what I create will surprise you with a big surprise. ”
The words just fell!
He slammed the metal egg, clutching the metal bug the size of a fingernail hidden inside, feeling the infinite potential of this little thing.
Although it is only a young body that has not yet fully matured, it still has extremely high intelligence, and constantly releases mental shocks to try to break free from control, and further control and occupy the other person's mind.
If it were an ordinary adult, I am afraid that he would have become a captive of this gadget by now, parasitized by it and integrated into a certain ethnic group to multiply, and finally control the entire ethnic group, intercepting the genetic genes of the race to create a deceptive civilization.
I have to say that if you exclude the fact that it will be controlled by the Creator, just from the perspective of the survival and reproduction of species, this metal bug has indeed evolved to the point where it will hardly become extinct.
Because no matter what kind of enemy they encounter, they will quietly infiltrate the enemy and conquer a civilization through parasitic means.
What's even more terrifying is that at the moment, one such egg has been thrown to a certain city on this planet, and it will snowball to multiply more than hundreds of thousands in a few years at most, and it will create something far beyond the overall technological level of this planet.
Fighting such a terrible enemy is simply a nightmare for all civilizations.
Fortunately!
Zhang Cheng is not a civilization, but a master who holds the rules of the supreme universe, so he can use the same similar methods to deal with these little bugs.
In addition to that, he got some tips on how to harness the power of rules.
It was clear that Gru was deliberately teaching him how to be a good Juggernaut in this way.
......
It's just that for the inhabitants of this relatively primitive and backward planet, they are completely unaware that they are about to become pawns in the game of the most terrifying rulers of the two universes, and they are still fighting for their own interests.
For example, Kirwin, who swallowed the entire western province in one gulp, had now begun to methodically establish a new ruling structure, and forcibly recruited a large number of young men into the army, hoping to train them into qualified soldiers before the kingdom could counterattack.
For the sake of his growing ambitions, he has become a tyrant completely, and as long as he can steadily expand his power and position, he does not care how much damage is caused, let alone how many people will die in this war.
Even those monsters that used to look abominable are now becoming more and more powerful.
Everything comes from "pragmatism".
Whatever is good for oneself is good, and everything that is bad for oneself is bad.
The complex adult world has suddenly become so simple and intuitive.
Especially when the power is in his hands, the eyes full of fear and awe from his vassals and the people of the territory are simply unstoppable.
Tasting the slightly sour and astringent wine, Kirwin sighed slightly, and said to Isolt, who was standing not far away, "My friend, do you know what the most regrettable thing in my life is?"
"What is it?" asked Isolt, very cooperative.
"Naturally, I didn't know our master sooner! If I had known him earlier, I am afraid that I would have built a huge country by the age of thirty, a powerful country completely unaffected by any political forces. Kerwin waved his arms excitedly.
He couldn't believe that there were really people in the world who would be willing to give the greatest benefit to himself without asking for anything in return after paying so many resources.
"Stupid and low-level idea! I guess you don't understand our master at all, and even less the real purpose of what he's doing, do you?" Isolt sneered and shook her head.
More than worldly power, money, status, and enjoyment, what he really cared about was the endless knowledge of magic, the end of the way to the throne and the mysteries of immortality.
What are rights?
Even the greatest empire will fall one day!
But knowledge and power never fade with the passage of time!
"Hahahaha! I admit I don't understand what's going on in the minds of you spellcasters, but it turns out that not only do we not have any contradictions, but we complement each other perfectly. The only challenge next is to hold off the kingdom's counterattack and then defeat and devour it little by little. I can't wait to see Wenger V kneeling on the ground announcing his surrender. Oh, by the way, I heard that he also has a beautiful daughter, and I may consider a reasonable and legal way to ascend to the throne through marriage. ”
In saying this, Kirwin did not hide his greed and lust in the slightest.
In a way, he was already a proper tyrant who could put his own interests above everyone without thinking.
"Don't be too complacent! Don't forget, there have been more than a dozen mass exodus from your people in the last week. Although you ordered some of them to be executed, the panic is still spreading rapidly, and if you don't think of a good solution, it won't be long before your kingdom is left with no subjects, only tens of thousands of ugly monsters. Isolt reminded with a smirk.
Repressive rule, though very effective in times of chaos, can quickly restore social order.
But the negative effects of high pressure are also outstanding, the most typical being flight.
Just as Germany was divided in two after the end of World War II, countless people in East Germany, which was ruled by the Soviet Union, fled over the Berlin Wall to West Germany every year.
Although both East and West Germany were essentially puppet states, with neither so-called sovereign integrity nor bullshit democracy and freedom, the Soviet Union's approach to East Germany was far more repressive than that of West Germany under NATO control.
In the same way, Kirwin's repressive rule will also cause a large number of people to choose to flee, and most ordinary people are not optimistic that he will be able to defeat the counterattack of the Kingdom Army......
