In the blink of an eye, it has been five days since Su Qing came to this world.
During these five days, the capitals of all the major countries in the world were bombed.
The old emperor Charles appeared urgently, and all kinds of news were flooding the newspapers, radio, and the Internet.
Compared to Lelouch today, Charles has more chips in his hands and knows more about the World of C. He has no intention of starting from the top.
He knew clearly that in this world full of hypocrisy and lies, the strong were respected and the hierarchy was clear. It was a bad idea to stimulate the universal consciousness of mankind and stimulate the upper echelons of humanity.
But the reason why the upper levels of humanity can represent the pan-consciousness of humanity to a certain extent is because the lower levels think so.
In other words, as long as there is a consensus that is generally recognized by the lower levels, it doesn’t really matter what the upper levels think.
Charles thought it was almost impossible to convince the aristocratic families in Kyushu and the nobles in EU in a short period of time.
But it is not difficult to convince the lower classes thanks to Britain's developed media industry.
The Mystery of the Rise of Charles DI Britannia
The remains of prehistoric civilization
Unsolved Mysteries of the World
Humanity's Existential Crisis
Charles and the Romantic History
And so on, a series of news spread through British channels to all parts of the world, including Charles' own battlefield.
The most powerful country in the world is pushing forward a media offensive with all its might... I can only say that those who understand will understand.
Now that the throne of the Emperor of Kyushu is vacant, the EU has suffered even more serious damage, because the EU is a union of many countries, and the capital of each country has been cleansed, so they cannot spare any energy in a short period of time.
No one thought of stopping Charles.
He was clearly talking about ancient ruins and had no evidence at all, but when he put Charles' face on TV, it was surprisingly believable.
The top leaders of various countries may still be thinking, the purpose of Charles doing this can't be that he really intends to lead mankind to fight against ancient civilizations, which is ridiculous, right?
But among the grassroots people, the vast majority believe it - do you think that as the world's largest country, would it be necessary to go to such great lengths to deceive you?
At the same time, Britain's strategy around the world was fully contracted.
Even the whole world was a little nervous, alert to any big moves Britain was planning, especially the Kyushu Federation - all of Britain's troops were moved to District 11 not far from Kyushu.
……
In the air battleship, a loli lies on Charles' back.
"Even if it's you, would you feel sad about this?"
Mariana wondered.
She was assassinated when Lelouch was a child, and her soul took residence in a palace maid at the time through a geass. Apart from being able to communicate with CC who gave her the geass, she could only move around using the palace maid's body.
Normally, because of VV's presence, she and Charles rarely communicated - but now it was different.
VV is dead.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Charles had to activate his unfinished plan to kill God, and had to take away VV's code.
Charles was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "He was my most beloved brother who had lived with me since childhood. If he hadn't broken his promise to me, I would rather die than do anything to him."
Marianna nodded, as if she didn't care about her husband's sadness. "I'll just take it as it is."
"But don't worry, I will stand by you until the end. No matter what happens, I will definitely fulfill your dream... to build a world without lies."
As she spoke, Mariana pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter.
The brothers, who have depended on each other since childhood, supported each other in the cruel fight for the British throne, became each other's spiritual pillars, and vowed together to change the world and vowed not to lie to each other.
Until one day, the two brothers fell in love with the same woman, and the woman married the younger brother. The elder brother, feeling isolated, assassinated his brother's woman, breaking his previous oath and lying to his brother without knowing it.
The younger brother couldn't stand his brother lying to him, and finally had to take action against him.
It seems to be a very sad script.
There's just one problem.
The power of geass is the power of the heart.
Marianna's own geass allows her to host her consciousness in other people's bodies, because she is extremely dissatisfied with her civilian birth. Although her talents far exceed those of others, she has to obey the orders of a mentally retarded boss.
After obtaining the Geass, Marianna had a question.
How could a man who swore to create a world without lies have the ability to modify other people's memories?
Isn't modifying other people's memories a lie?
If the ability of Geass reflects a person's inner truth, and if this is not wrong, then it seems that the false thing is the so-called wish, right?
But if even she, a geass novice, could guess it, how could VV, who could grant geass to others, not know it?
Does VV trust Charles unconditionally and has no doubts about her brother?
Or is it that VV knows that something is wrong, but has a deep relationship with her brother and doesn't want to expose it?
Or is it the unspoken tacit understanding between VV and Charles?
The power of geass is ineffective against code, but before the code is obtained, will the effects of other geass be retained after the code is obtained?
After obtaining the code, the geass will disappear, but does the power of the geass disappear instantly, or is there a process?
Mariana didn't ask CC about this topic, but I guess CC might not be aware that the change of code holder only happens once every few hundred years.
If VV's memory hadn't been altered by Charles...
Marianna shrugged.
Then perhaps, it was Charles who changed his memory.
It was even possible that VV used some kind of geass to change Charles' consciousness.
Does the world of C have intelligence? Or, to what extent does it have intelligence?
Will the World of C give any feedback to humans who attempt to kill God and replace Him?
If so.
So, what about plans that are doomed to fail?
Or even plans that are beneficial to the 'Gods'?
For example, connecting human consciousness into one and creating a world where lies do not exist...it seems like a fantasy.
The goal is obviously A, but you talk about B, and even think about B in your heart, and work hard to achieve B. But in fact, all efforts made for B are preparations for achieving goal A.
And, rely on power to change your memory.
If you can't even deceive yourself, how can you deceive the gods? If you can't even deceive the gods, how can you talk about killing gods?
After Charles came to power, Britain expanded outward at an unprecedented speed, and talented people emerged in the country. On the contrary, other countries in the world were short of talent and had chaotic political situations... Could it be because of the existence of the God-killing Plan?
How did these two brothers start to find the opportunity to at least think they could deceive "God"?
When VV gets the code?
But Marianna knew that no matter what, VV's code was transferred to Charles, and this was probably the end of the plan.
Using the code to invalidate Charles's geass that invalidated his own memory, he retrieved his true wish and guided the impossible God-killing plan to victory.
Mariana took a deep breath.
This is more interesting than fighting on the battlefield, isn't it?
The unknown outsiders made it impossible for Charles to prepare his plan perfectly, but this was also an opportunity.
Even if the plan is perfect, the hope of victory is just a matter of leaving it to fate, and the success rate of the God-killing Plan can only be increased to a percentage level.
The first step as a price——
A smile appeared on Marianna's face.
I'll trouble these kids who are in charge of the army to just go and die.
Gather more than half of Britain's military and send them to the 'enemy' to kill. Who in the world would doubt that this is a non-human being that can destroy the world - and is already destroying the world?
Chapter 25 Dust
More than half of Britain's troops are converging towards District 11, and this move has touched the hearts of the whole world.
This is roughly the difference between a big boss and an ordinary protagonist.
The protagonist usually appears at the center of the vortex, and the presence of the boss can create a vortex.
No matter how much Lelouch uses geass to deceive others and increase his reputation, it can never compare to Charles' actual actions.
If the British army is placed here, which force would dare not pay attention?
What other forces dare not take Charles’ propaganda seriously?
Even if they feel in their hearts that it is fake, among the various forces, who would be so stubborn as not to consider even the slightest possibility?
For one party, it is more beneficial and less costly to consider as many situations as possible before making a decision.
The eyes of the whole world were focused on this seemingly insignificant island country. Seeing the British army being mobilized, Kururugi Suzaku felt quite complicated.
This treatment was just like when he was a child and Britain invaded the island country.
But this time it's different.
Kururugi Suzaku took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, they were full of determination.
Today, he is no longer powerless, and can only choose between very bad and the worst.
He has his own beliefs and the power to maintain them.
——Even if this was given to him by others.
