.Chapter 89: Geass Cultivation Group

"Catch up?" After finishing the communication from the Turtle Dove, Li Xingke suddenly felt a sense of ease. Although he did not have any contempt at the beginning, the battle was so difficult, which was unexpected. Fortunately, the Black Knights, which had achieved an absolute strategic advantage, can be said to be invincible.

The British army was able to enter the territory of the Chinese Federation to fight, all thanks to the approval of the Chinese federal government. The righteousness was on the British side, so the other party could naturally be justified. To restore this situation, it was not enough to just fight the eunuchs.

The key is who is orthodox in the Chinese Federation. The Black Knights who held the emperor hostage were not, nor were they star-carved with the name of the rebel army. The eunuchs who had been in charge of the government for many years were the rulers of the Chinese Federation at this time. Even if the Black Knights now beheaded all the eunuchs, Britain can carry out military operations in the name of liberating allies and restoring national sovereignty. By then, Britain will only be more unscrupulous.

The turning point was here. With the help of Xingke's years of planning and Dietharut's outstanding intelligence processing capabilities, a huge plan had already been unfolding in secret long before the war with the army of the eunuchs began.

The national uprising was exploited by evil politics for many years. The long-standing anger of the people of the Chinese Federation was consciously manipulated and guided, and it exploded unstoppable. Without the support of the people, the eunuchs would fall into the dilemma of losing their status, and the British side, which used the eunuchs as the intervention point, had to make concessions.

There is a jubilant atmosphere in the flagship turtledove. After all, after this battle, the Black Knights have survived this crisis. While gladly living, people are also commemorating the people who died in this battle. Nie Shaohui and c.c are among them, holding hands and smiling at each other...

"With this level, it will be much easier later. Unfortunately, I recovered in the end..." Nie Shaohui shook his head with a sigh.

"Are you doing it?" The voice coming from behind immediately attracted the attention of Nie Shaohui and c.c. It was a very familiar voice because the captain of Team Zero, Red Moon Kalian, appeared behind.

At this moment, Kalian had changed out of her driving uniform and wore a black Knights' special uniform. After passing a path given out by the members of the Zero Team, Kalian walked to Nie Shaohui with an expressionless face.

"Let's go, Zero calls you the conference room, and Xingke and the emperor are here too." The equipment in this turtledove is very complete. In addition to the various facilities required for combat, there are all kinds of ancillary facilities such as lounges and entertainment rooms. This is also built to deal with possible long-term battles to relieve the pressure on soldiers. Naturally, as a place for senior management to discuss important decisions, the conference room is also an indispensable facility.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the floor where the conference room was located. What appeared before the two of them was a door that needed to confirm the pass code before they could be opened. This place is already a very high security area. Except for a few specially authorized people, others cannot enter.

"Come on, sit down." Seeing Nie Shaohui, c.c. and Kalian come in together, Lelouch pointed to the empty seat beside him. Nie Shaohui walked to the position he belonged silently, c.c. sat consciously beside him.

This is a large conference table made up of two arc-shaped tables. The one sitting opposite zero is His Majesty, the symbolic emperor of the Chinese Federation. The emperor, who was only thirteen years old, was still wearing the white wedding dress and sitting on the chair with a slightly huge backrest shape. The expression on her face wiped out the panic and helplessness at the beginning. This is because the person sitting next to her was Li Xingke who had an agreement with her.

Xingke nodded to Nie Shaohui with a smile. To be honest, it was because of Nie Shaohui, a mixed-hearted existence, but to be honest, it was a bit beyond Xingke's expectations. Now, the oath that had been achieved was not a time to relax, because the situation in the future will be even more serious.

"Then Your Majesty, what do you think about the cooperation mentioned just now?" What interrupted Xingke's thoughts was zero's synthetic sound full of metal texture.

"Indeed, you have been kind to our country. You have helped suppress the eunuchs who have committed suicide and saved the crisis of the Chinese Federation. I can hereby promise you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor that if you plan to carry out the 11th District, that is, Japan's regaining battle, our country will provide as much support as possible."

But this is impossible at this stage, Xingke said. Because the situation in the Chinese Federation is still very serious. Even if the eunuchs are driven out, the violence of several years has already scarred the Chinese Federation and its national strength has been exhausted like never before. Moreover, there are still the forces of the old eunuchs in various places. Now that the eunuchs have been arrested, these generals and prefects who have armed forces may become cancers that harm the country. Xingke's side, who has the support of the people, has a firm foothold in the great righteousness, but the warlord forces in various places still need to be eradicated as soon as possible.

The two sides discussed the details of these cooperation. As representatives of the Chinese Federation, the emperor sat on the head without saying a word. This is not a strange thing. Although Xingke absolutely did not mean to treat the emperor as a puppet, it would be useless even if he handed over these matters to her. I am afraid that the emperor himself would have only a slight understanding of what was being discussed in front of him.

"We will dispatch all the combat forces of the Black Knights to help you quell the rebels. Although it will cost a lot, it will not be too difficult to attack those mobs. The question is whether Britain will take action... Just in case I confirm again, your country will not say that you do not want to confront Britain head-on, right?"

"Of course, I personally can't tolerate what the country does. But you don't think that with the assistance of the Chinese Federation, you can fight against that country, right?" Faced with Xing Ke's sharp question, Lelouch laughed under the mask.

"Even I wouldn't think of such overestimating my abilities. It takes a careful plan to fight that country. Although it is also a superpower, the current Chinese Federation does not have the strength to compete with Britain head-on." Although it is true, when hearing the other party's condemnation, several officers on the emperor's side showed an indignant expression. However, Lelouch did not pay attention to the emotions of these people, but changed his tone and looked directly at Xingke who was frowning.

"If one gun cannot penetrate, just prepare the second and third guns."

The world is now gradually dyed into the color of Britain. As a confrontational force, the eu alliance line was cut off due to the plan of the second prince of Britain, Shnigje. The eu, which was largely invaded by the British army, has been destroyed. Although the Chinese Federation has finally avoided the power seized by Britain with the help of the emperor's marriage, it obviously has no power to fight against Britain alone. Since things have come to this point, if you want to fight against the powerful Britain, you can only pull it off.

The country that was not dominated by Britain and the various regions of the British colonies - that is, the establishment of the Anti-British Alliance. Lelouch considered this way, and the incident of the Chinese Federation is also a part of the plan. First, we must consolidate the relationship between the Chinese Federation where the Star Carved is located and the Black Knights, and then use these two forces as the core to unify the anti-British forces currently fighting each other. Apart from this, there is no other means to subvert British hegemony.

"I don't understand this principle either." Xing Ke still frowned and said in confusion.

"But - if you study our country's history, it will be a thankless strategy. Besides, among the countries other than EU, there are only Australia in Southeast Asia. The others are all small countries. Is it difficult for the rabble to become a force against Britain?"

"Because of this, it will be troublesome if the Chinese Federation does not revive as soon as possible."

Lelouch still smiled and said, "Star Car. Even from the perspective of national strength, the only one who is in charge of the central axis of the United Nations League is the Chinese Federation. The mob cannot win - you said nothing. But if there is a strong centripetal force, even an individual weak and dispersed force can become excellent combat power and play a role. The leader is that kind of existence. Your Federation of China and our Black Knights are by no means lacking the power and commanding force required by the leader."

"Um..." Xingke muttered, holding his shoulder and showing a serious expression of consideration. Then, he cast a sharp look at Lelouch's mask.

"zero, I'll ask you something."

"?"

"Are you going to dominate the world like the British Emperor?" Lelouch couldn't help but change his face after hearing this, and shot a sharper gaze from his mask than Xingke and said, "If you really think so, then I'll make the biggest mistake in the establishment of the Black Knights. Xingke, it's a pity. I, no, the Black Knights will not cooperate with those who have this idea. Our cooperation seems to have ended here."

"It's rude." Xing Ke suddenly smiled and apologized, "It's just... a little surprised. As a strategist, you should be strategic, and your ambition is very strong. And this kind of person always prioritizes ambition and ambition more than trustworthiness and reconciliation. But in my opinion, you seem to have some kind of wonderful cleanliness."

"I don't deny it." Lelouch smiled again and replied, "I sometimes feel very naive, but I also have persistence that cannot be compromised. Please take your words, "Will I and the Black Knights plan to seize the power of the Chinese federal government in this civil unrest?"

"I sincerely hope this is also true. - Then, about the United Nations League mentioned just now." At this time, Xingke's expression became serious again.

"Of course, you have to obtain the permission of His Highness of the Emperor, and you have to calm down the domestic situation before. However, personally, I do not oppose our country's participation at present. However, as for whether we have the power to confront Britain, I still have half-believing it. You and the Black Knights have been kind to our country, and I can no longer tolerate Britain's actions. But..."

"only?"

"Even so, I still refuse to let you and the Black Knights' style immerse into the state of our Chinese Federation. Your current strategic purpose of the Black Knights should be to first liberate the 11th District - that is, Japan is from the dominance of Britain and build a democratic political system there. However, it will be troublesome if you force the Chinese Federation to implement that system."

"Of course." Lelouch nodded.

"Even if you join the alliance, you will not unify the political systems of various countries. First, Xingke, although I completely deny the hegemony and aggressionism of the British Emperor, I did not completely deny the monarchy itself. My personal thoughts are of course inclined toward democracy... But the monarchy is also a political system, and I also admit that it has advantages that democracy does not have. For example, it can effectively implement the will of the superiors in national political reform and make decisive decisions."

"So--"

"How the politics of the Chinese Federation is decided by all the people of the Chinese Federation, including you and the Emperor. I have already said that your future depends on you to choose. I have no intention of interfering or coercion on this."

"I understand, I will discuss this with His Majesty the Emperor in detail. But before that, can the alliance gathered with this strategy really fight against Britain? No matter what they gathered, they will only be a mob." Xingke's words were already obvious. If the Federation of China wants to join the United Nations League, he must let him see the feasibility of this plan. After all, there is no more fragile army than a coalition army composed of multiple countries. In some ways, Britain relies on this click to collapse.

"You said nothing, eu is the lesson of the past. But if there is a existence with strong centripetal force, even a weak and dispersed individual force can become an excellent combat force to play a role. The leader is like that. Your Chinese Federation and our Black Knights are definitely not organizations that lack the power and commanding power required by the leader." After hearing Lelouch's answer, Xing Ke did not immediately set an example, but was silent with a deep thought expression. He was considering whether there was feasibility in Lelouch's words. Not long after, a smile appeared on the corner of Xing Ke's mouth and looked at the emperor sitting aside.

Perhaps because he had received the approval of the supreme leader of the Chinese Federation, Xingke stood up from his seat and said solemnly to Lelouch.

"Without undermining our original political system, our Chinese Federation agreed to join the United Nations League."

"I am grateful, Your Majesty." As he stood up, Lelouch nodded in his tribute to the young emperor. I believe that Xingke hoped that the emperor would gain the respect of everyone.

Since we have officially joined the alliance, the Chinese Federation has become a close alliance. The next thing we need to discuss is how to resolve the chaos in the Chinese Federation. We must cheer up as soon as possible in the central axis of the Alliance of United Nations, so that some swinging countries can firmly resolve and participate in this system of competing with the Holy British Empire. There is no doubt that the success of this conference has a huge impact on the world.

The meeting ended until everyone dispersed, leaving only Lelouch, Nie Shaohui and C.C. Looking at the familiar people, Lelouch also took down the zero mask on his head.

"Is there anything wrong with keeping us?" He said without jumping. Nie Shaohui asked in a lack of interest after listening to this boring meeting. After a moment of silence, Lelouch said in a calm and slow tone, "I think, the sect you told me before." Hearing Lelouch mention this, Nie Shaohui became energetic and didn't even hit Hache.c.c. His ears, which were vaguely visible between his long hair, also moved slightly.

"In fact, I have always been curious that my so-called father, after he ascended the throne, Britain grew into a great empire that dominated one-third of the world. This is not just a matter of national strength and military strength." Lelouch paused here and continued, "Britain when Emperor Charles ascended the throne was a country exhausted by the constant court struggles and frequent rebellions. I heard that on the contrary, Britain was in a state of fear of invasion of eu and the Chinese Federation. Charles at least revitalized the weak country, established the strongest army later called the world, and built the vast territory of Britain now. These things are by no means something that ordinary people can do."

"What then?" c.c. asked without taking out a piece of pizza from the place and putting it in his mouth.

"But if you think about it carefully, is the current British power that Charles has realized in a generation already so huge that it is out of normal track? Even if Charles has the execution ability to overwhelm everyone, the country's expansion is too fast and extremely fast. Although it can be considered that it is Charles' extraordinaryness, it is not surprising to think that this result has surpassed the abilities that individuals can have. In other words, in addition to the quality of being the dominant, that man also has the power to surpass human abilities. That is geass."

"I understand, do you want to get that power?" Nie Shaohui said with a smile, "The power of the geassist sect." Lelouch did not hide it and said directly, "Yes, if you master this power, it would be much more convenient to fight that man. And I also geass the genocide's leader v.v. The ideal situation is to seize the genocide from that man and v.v. and take it into his hands. Only in this way can I overwhelm that man-Emperor Britain in the battle between reality and extraordinary worlds."

"But you did one thing, that sect is just a research organization that studies geass, not a so-called military force."

"So, c.c., Shaohui. Can you answer me? The genocide, what is the geass?"

"Well~~Lelouch? The type of myth - are you?" Lelouch was suddenly asked by Nie Shaohui, and was a little surprised. However, Lelouch quickly returned to calm and frowned slightly and replied, "I have heard of the myths and legends left over from all over the world, each circulating among different lands and ethnic groups. However, even if the experience and development are different, the theme of its foundation must have a common part...? No, because I am not an expert, this understanding may not be correct..."

"No, no." c.c. shook his head, looked away from Lelouch and looked out of the window in the commander's room. Outside the window, two snow-white pigeons were flying side by side in the blue sky.

"Actually, things themselves are not strange at all." c.c. said while tracking the flying trajectory of the pigeons. "Most myths and legends have reasonable explanations. One of the reasons is exchanges between cultures. For example, the relationship between the Chinese Federation and Japan. Although these two are composed of different ethnic groups, they have been exchanged across the sea since ancient times."

"So similar parts appear in myths and folklore. It is particularly worth mentioning that Japan and the Chinese Federation have had religious exchanges since ancient times. In this way, it is natural that the story of the world of ‘God’ has a common theme."

"And the reason other than that is the common element of the influence of natural phenomena on humans. To this extent, even the communication between cultures is not needed. Because even if the lands born are different, the 'things' exist there are the same."

"On ordinary terms - ancient people longed for the sun and feared the moon, that's it." Looking at Nie Shaohui and c.c. your words, Lelouch interrupted, "As long as the latitude is close to a certain extent, even on the other side of the earth, the shape of the moon and the sun will look similar."

Nie Shaohui shook his head and took the words of c.c., and said, "It's not just visually. For example, the moon will trigger tidal changes, which will affect human life in any era. In addition, even if you don't realize the tidal force, it has actually played a certain role in the human body. After all, it is a force that can even affect the sea. Although you men may not have a real sense, research materials that have a great influence on the moon are actually there."

"So even if there is no cultural exchange between them, the 'myth' about the moon will definitely have a common part." c.c. paused and continued, "That is because the 'thing' exists is the same. The myths and legends born from that 'thing' can be said to be human subjective in a sense. However, since the starting point is the same, it is not surprising to create similar ones."

"But--"

c.c. continued, "In fact, there are types in ancient myths and beliefs everywhere that cannot be explained by reasonable reasons. One of them is the ruins of the Shigen Island that Lelouch you have seen before."

Lelouch widened his eyes slightly, "You said?"

"As you have done, such remains do not only exist on the Divine Root Island. There is no cultural exchange and different ethnic developments in the world. There is the same remains on lands, as well as the legends and beliefs related to it by ancient humans. That is to say." c.c. He moved his eyes back to Lelouch from the window again, and this time her eyes looked a little cold.

"There is a 'something' that made ancient people afraid and stimulated their beliefs become a common existence. It is a 'something' that cannot be reasonably explained outside of things like the sun and the moon that are clearly and actually exist and proven. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave that kind of ruin."

"Can you say? That's - geass?"

But c.c. shook his long hair and shook his head and said, "I won't do anything."

"So Shaohui, are you?" Lelouch looked at Nie Shaohui again. Nie Shaohui frowned and hesitated and said, "I know a little about that, I call it - 'root'. No... Well, forget it, your world is different from my world. Let's put it this way, some researchers or researchers think that the earth is alive."

Seeing Lelouch whom he wanted to talk about, Nie Shaohui waved his hand and signaled him not to do so, and continued, "We call the potential will of the earth Gaia. This theory regards the earth as a living living body. He will also secretly protect it and try to deal with dangerous humans. Alaya is the potential will of all human beings, and that 'root' is the so-called Alaya will."

"You mean, that 'root' is alive? Can he control the will of everyone?"

"It cannot be fully controlled. The psychoanalytic school believes that under the superficial consciousness, there is a potential unconsciousness, and under the unconscious, it achieves a subtle effect."

"But this has something to do with Gaia, that is, the will of the earth?"

"In addition to sensory perception (the first five consciousnesses) and self-consciousness (the sixth consciousness), people also have manas similar to personal unconsciousness and Alaya consciousness similar to collective unconsciousness. Due to the similarity between the two, many scholars in the real world compare the collective unconsciousness and Alaya consciousness...

counterguardian - also known as 'suppression'. They are used to protect specific ethnic groups, the inhibitory force of the planet and the inhibitory force of the primates. Gaia's inhibitory force is responsible for protecting the earth, and Alaya's inhibitory force is responsible for protecting humans. The inhibitory force may be presented in the form of natural disasters, and in ancient times a continent has sunk as a result... Some people are influenced by Alaya's inhibitory force to relieve human crises. Such people were called heroes in ancient times, but now they will not get this title, because modern civilization is developed, and humans may die at any time - for example, destroying the natural environment. The inhibitory force often saves humans without anyone's notice. Some trivial things at first glance may also be the presentation of inhibitory force."

"In other words, geass is the inhibitory force given by the so-called 'root'?" After hearing Nie Shaohui's words, Lelouch's eyes widened instantly.

"It can be said the same."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to the topic." c.c. glared at Nie Shaohui, as if he felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

“…”

"The problem is... scattered everywhere, there are many common beliefs. Although they do not communicate with each other, they just worship 'something' on their own, but with the progress of the times, the situation has changed."

--situation?

"That is to say that this planet has become smaller. Civilization has progressed, people's movement methods have developed, and they can share the information they have. People who had no communication before can also contact each other. At that time, the first time people who spontaneously worship 'something' worshipped was actually the same. No - it should be said that they should be more interested than surprise."

Lelouch immediately noticed, "Is that the origin of the birth of the sect?"

"Yes. You are really very keen, Lelouch." c.c. A smile appeared on his neat face. "After people are the same as the 'something' as the object of faith, they became interested in the truth of 'something' and pursued their existence. The current sect begins from there. In this sense, the history of the sect is both short and profound. People who simply worship 'something' can be said to be its mother, but the current sect is not just afraid of 'something'. While explaining the secret, they also want to use it for the purpose."
To be continued...
