Chapter 451 - Politics And Government



Lynd used his computer and projected various news clips of a particular event in Pangea.

The absence of Harker soon led to various problems, and various fights were happening.

"You see, if Pangea were able to perfectly deflect all spies from the Aragarians, it would be suspicious. So sending Harker to Egypt was part of the plan to create an opening that the Aragarians could exploit. Why bother looking for Aragarians when we can lure them, right?" Lynd clips as he revealed the clips.

"That\'s...! the news about the push of the Supreme Court of the triune nations of Pangea. I heard of this. They are impeaching Colestar, Hydron, and Horros for allying with Harker and has been claiming that this isn\'t what the nation wants as a Republic."

"Yup. I\'ll be using this turmoil to answer your question about why I\'m so cruel. The truth is, I still don\'t agree with Seeker\'s ways. In that area, I still struggle. We have power and position now, and I hate how we use it. Do you know that I had to fix this political crisis in Pangea? There have been many rebellions, and regardless of how we control the presidents, the other branches of the three governments are largely against us. Seeker has a lot on his plate, so he asked me to deal with this. No doubt, the Aragarians have sent many teams to initiate propaganda and change the hearts of the masses. And they have been very effective. It\'s like watching the political battle in the post-modern era. Anyway, our intentional negligence of the politics in Pangea and Harker\'s absence was the perfect time for the Aragarians to move. Their successful propaganda has pushed Pangea into a state of conflict. And as you said, the Supreme Courts of all three countries of Pangea have made a unified call to impeach all presidents. Do you recall what the Presidents did to avoid impeachment? I was the author of that plan."

"What? Did you plan that? All President\'s claimed they had a vehicular accident and couldn\'t make it to the hearing! That conference was a joke! That was your plan!? That was stupid!" Charm cursed.

"Yes. Do you know why we did that?"

Charm was stunned, and she thought for a bit,

"To buy time to make the members of the Supreme Court into Programmed Slaves?" Charm guessed.

"No. We have already stopped making Programmed Slaves in Pangea since the resources to make it is running low. Those Presidents made those outrageous, lying statements to make it obvious that they were lying and enraging the public. It was comedy gold for me. I recorded the time they had a Press Conference, and Meryl was actually telling them what to say. It was stupid because Meryl wanted to have fun and do this impractical joker type of prank. Anyway, regardless of the means, the goal was to buy time, so I could use my powers of observation and imitation to learn everything about some of the members of the Supreme Courts of each country. I was very busy. I was moving from Malay-Pangea to Phil-Pangea and Indo-Pangea. It took me three days, but I taught some members of the Unlocked all of their mannerisms, behaviors, and even preferences in food, morality, and what have you. When they graduated, they replaced some of the members of the Supreme Court."

"Wait! So that\'s why half of each nation voted against the impeachment!"

"Yes. It\'s no longer them. They were replaced. But, here\'s the thing. I had to kill the original."

Charm was shocked at Lynd\'s answer.

"What? Why?!"

"I\'ll tell you later. For now, let me explain why we chose the body-double thing. It\'s easy for our Unlock members to become body doubles. I got the Unlocked who could contort their muscles at will, and we just had minimal surgeries. Fingerprints, blood tests, and even dental records of those Supreme Court members would match perfectly if you tried to do such tests on the body-doubles I deployed. Only DNA tests will prove false, but of course, the chances of the Aragarians going that far won\'t happen. You see, bribing them is pointless since the Aragarians are also doing the same thing. So the best way is to replace them and use our techs and the Unlocked to be them. I thought the Unlocked how they would act to the point that I was satisfied. Even if the three presidents\' stupid, obvious, and scandalous responses to delay the hearing with whatever nonsensical excuses drove the masses mad, it didn\'t matter. We won nonetheless. You saw how the news played out."

"All of those replaced... claimed that they were being bribed and forced to agree..."

"Yeah. It was a big shock, and I\'m sure whichever Presider sent their Pioneers to sabotage plans must have also been surprised. The people that they bought or threatened suddenly betrayed them. And full disclosure, seven members of the ones we replaced lost their families. But I didn\'t save the families of these supreme court members even though I know where they are."

"What?! You...! Monster! Couldn\'t you have at least saved them? And why did you even have to kill the original members of the supreme court?! If you just planned to put a body-double, why kill?"

"I\'ll answer why we had to kill the original members later. But as for why I didn\'t save the families... I wanted to. But that would reveal us. The Aragarians will know that someone is trying to fight them. So, I replaced the original and made them act like they couldn\'t remain silent as their guilt ate them up, and they made that confession you saw on TV last week. The Aragarians killed their family in anger at their betrayal. But, it\'s still part of our plan. The deaths of those families will spark outrage among the masses. All members of the Supreme Court have a certain release date of when they will reveal the deaths of their families. All are planned out in a timeline that maximizes the effect. This will force the Aragarians to kidnap these members again and torture them. When they do kidnap these Surmounting Unbecoming spies, we can wipe out the Aragarian operation plaguing Pangea." Lynd explained.

"That\'s it?! That\'s your reasoning?! That\'s why you didn\'t save them? To spur the masses? Couldn\'t you have faked their deaths?!"

"No. Of course not. The Aragarians can easily disprove that what was killed wasn\'t real. We had to let the Aragarians kidnap the family, and I can\'t attack and save them because it would reveal who us." Lynd answered.

Charm trembled in rage.

"What happened to you?!" She shouted.

"Now to that question. My morals fought against this whole issue of killing or allowing innocents to die for a long time. But I trusted Seeker. I said to myself, Seeker must have a way to reverse all of this. And then Seeker did something cruel. His manipulations, his cruelty, his inhumane plans, he applied on me. That was the last straw, and I fought him and lost. He knew I had this strange bloodlust in me that drives me wild, and he was using all those minor events, those morally questionable things he did, to stack up against my anger towards him. The things that I once ignored became a big deal, and it made me explode and fight him. I lost, and that anger dissipated. But the power I got was immense. I have surpassed who I was in his timeline. You could say my mindset changed when I found myself growing stronger. You see, with the power I know have, I know that I am still nothing compared to a Principal."

Lynd revealed his newly formed body.

A faint light of gold appeared.

"This body of mine... I wonder how many seconds can it face a Principal? I am telling you this because we have to be this cruel if we want to win. Imagine a Principal or a Prime appearing here on Earth. Will they have the power to destroy the planet? In front of such a threat, what can we do? All plans that you could think of would fail. We need results, and we need them fast. So I kill because I want to save this world."

"I get it! I get that stupid reasoning! My family was dealing with the same thing! I struggled with that reality in a weaker form all my life and ran away from it! Because I can\'t morally accept that! I refused to claim my position in the Novelty-Blastoise clan because of that! But you act like it\'s normal and even correct!"

"Fight the next battles with the soldiers. You\'ll have to see it for yourself to see things from my perspective." Lynd sighed.

"So you\'re going to send my family and me off to fight dangerous battles? You want me to experience losing people I care about to be conformed to your twisted mentality?!"

"Actually, I don\'t need to. We are ramping up on this, and the Presider War has already begun. You will be forced to face that. This time will be a war that will kill a lot of innocent. And we won\'t save them because the Tale of Two Cities, the City of Jerusalem, and Babel has to begin. The Presider Wars will be the time for them to surface. But while many nations will grow in power, others will suffer. You have to get used to this gruesome, morally painful truth, Charm. It\'s here." Lynd changed the view on the computer.

A strange scene was playing out. It was Seeker standing before Presiders.

"Lennox has developed a way to send video recordings. Seeker\'s radiation is masking the communication lines. But there you have it—the Presiders." Lynd slowly panned the view of the video to show the other Presiders.

The Presiders and Seeker continued to initiate the deals, but they were clearly shown. Zeraphine was there, wearing a powerful suit.

"Zeraphine\'s suit is strong. Probably as strong as Cliff in terms of power. I wonder what her Rule would be?" Lynd sighed.

Charm was shocked and glanced at the screen. But then she turned away from it.

"Hmm... Still unwilling to believe, huh? Just like me back then. Don\'t worry. You\'ll see it the way we see it soon."

"You still haven\'t told me... Why did you need to kill the original supreme court members instead of just kidnapping them?" Charm changed the subject.

"Proof of death, proof of the time of death. We are fighting against calculating, cautious and powerful entities who could do what we do. The enemy will think that we are trying to win or secure our footing in Pangea and form the South Pacific Confederate. But the whole South Pacific Confederate is a cover. The plan we have is to follow that of Eagle. Every kingdom on this Earth has to end up looking bad so that only one kingdom will be the answer. We release the information that those acting as the Supreme Court members are body-doubles by releasing the real body. The time of death is important too. And I will initiate a circumstance where all of my Unlocked spies will reveal super-human powers proving that they are not the original Supreme Court members. Now, the fact that the time of death is well preserved will be very suspicious. It\'s as if we want them to know when the real bodies were killed. But even then, this will enrage the masses and confuse them."

"Why do you want that to happen?" Charm had a stumped expression.

"It won\'t be just in Pangea. The places that we have managed to control will also follow the same thing. They will create bedlam in their government, making the whole thing look absurd. Our goal is to show that no form of government works. Democracy, Communist, Republic, whatever. The Unlocked plans to make all of those look bad. And finally, Jerusalem will rise, and it will follow an ideology that has long been abandoned. We will shape the world so that one form of government will look perfect and flawless.. And that form of Government is Theocracy."
