Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1901 At What Cost?

“Even if I’m not a god, I’m still the only one who can save the Dragon City civilization!”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and emphasized each word, “Have you ever thought about the consequences of assassinating me?”

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter who goes missing. Earth or the Other World will continue to rotate!

“Besides, your so-called ‘salvation’ is nothing more than suppressing the conflicts inside and outside Dragon City by force. You’re in a hurry for quick success and instant benefits. You’re merely delaying the problems with your unparalleled strength and pretending not to see them!

“That’s right. On the surface, Dragon City has embarked on the fast track of development in the past ten or twenty years under your rule. Internal construction is in full swing, and external wars have also been won in succession. Everything is developing in the best direction.

“But at what cost?

“Inwardly, you’ve eliminated dissidents and slaughtered wantonly. Not only have you killed almost all of the nine cultivation families, but you’ve also raised your butcher knife without any mercy to your former comrades who didn’t obey you. Do the math yourself. How many times have you used the excuse of ‘killing the remnants of the Blood Alliance’? How many people have been sent to trial for this crime? A thousand, ten thousand, or more? Were they really the remnants of the Blood Alliance?

“Even your close comrade-in-arms and loyal partner, Lu Siya, couldn’t accept that you became so cruel and heartless in only twenty years. She parted ways with you!

“In the entire Dragon City, who else sincerely believes in your ideals and is loyal to your rule without fearing your tyranny?

“To the outside world, we seem to be on the verge of achieving the final victory in the war between the two worlds. However, as the battle line drags on, the battlefield is getting closer and closer to the Holy Light faction’s core. The enemy’s resistance is becoming increasingly intense, and our casualties are also growing increasingly severe, especially when it comes to the allies you treat as cannon fodder and place at the forefront. They’ve all protested.

“And your countermeasure is still as simple and crude as ever. It can be summarized into one word: Kill!

“Whoever hinders your goal of ‘winning the war at all costs’ will quickly die for no reason. This has happened repeatedly. Even if our allies are mostly brainless skeleton soldiers or ogres who dislike using their brains, they’ll realize that something is not right.

“As a human, I don’t care about the wellbeing of the ogres and skeleton soldiers.

“However, the Dragon City civilization is ultimately a foreign race from the other side of the cosmos. Our numbers are too few compared to the billions of Other World natives. It’s too difficult to completely rule this planet that’s filled with extraordinary power.

“I’m not looking down on the Chaos faction now. It appears to be an impregnable iron plate. But that’s only because we’re still winning for the time being thanks to your invincible strength. Our enemies haven’t been completely wiped out.

“And the war will end one day.

“You’re not an immortal god. One day, you’ll fall like Lei Zongchao, the Battle God of the past.

“Now that you’re still alive, it feels like we’ll continue winning forever.

“But think about it. What if we let the current war escalate until it goes completely out of control and you die? Who else can suppress the many conflicts inside and outside Dragon City and cause an earth-shattering explosion? When that happens, how will the Dragon City civilization survive on this planet that’s full of enemies and allies who are filled with hatred toward us?

“Hasn’t history shown enough examples of ‘countries rising and falling too suddenly’ under the rule of ‘brilliant’ tyrants?

“Childish! Shaoyu, I really didn’t expect you to still be so childish after following me for so many years!”

Meng Chao could not help but laugh coldly. “The competition between civilizations is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don’t advance, you’ll fall back! Since Dragon City came to this planet, we can only press forward and become the final and greatest victors! Do you think that the natives of the Other World are cautious and hostile toward the Dragon City civilization because of a tyrant like me? You’re gravely mistaken! Our origin, appearance, and lifestyle are our original sins!

“As such, all the living beings on this planet will become our enemies sooner or later!

“It’s precisely because I’m aware of this that I have to think of a way to eradicate all the natives on this planet. At the very least, I will weaken their civilization so that they will never be able to challenge the Dragon City civilization. They’ll be our cannon fodder and slaves forever! Whether it’s the Holy Light faction or the Chaos faction, it’s all the same!

“To achieve this goal in my lifetime, is there any other way other than the simplest and most brutal method of killing?

“It’s a difficult situation.”

Gu Shaoyu remained silent for a long time before he slowly shook his head and said, “This is an impossible mission. It will only continue to arouse the hostility of the Other World’s natives toward us, attract foreign disasters, and make us everyone’s target.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard… no, I believe you’ve heard, but our allies are secretly working together to kick you off the Chaos faction’s throne. Our allies can’t stand your autocracy and tyranny anymore!”

“Of course, I’ve heard about it. It’s nothing more than a trick that the treacherous ‘Jackal’ Kanus is playing behind the scenes.”

The murderous intent in Meng Chao’s eyes intensified. “I naturally have a way to deal with him.”

“I know that you’ve always wanted to get rid of the demonic Doomsday Wolf, but he’s different from the other natives,” Gu Shaoyu said.

“In terms of strength and wisdom, he’s second only to you in the Chaos faction. He’s the number two figure. In terms of shrewdness and patience, he’s above you.

“In terms of qualifications and military achievements, he’s on par with Lu Siya. He’s your close comrade who’s supported you for the past twenty years. He’s your true right-hand man, at least on the surface.

“The success rate of assassinating him is incredibly low.

“Even if you succeed, it will cause a great uproar. All our allies will look askance at us and be cold toward us. It will also increase their fear and hatred of a tyrant like you and the Dragon City civilization!”
