In order to gain recognition from the remains of ancient civilization, he must gain the support of modern humans. The aristocratic families and nobles who are able to hold high positions today and have been passed down for thousands of years are all descendants from ancient times and have that kind of blood in their bodies.
When the powerful people of various countries informed the lower classes, everything changed again.
This is a battle with a revived ancient civilization.
The enemy is strong, but he also has weaknesses. We are not without the ability to fight.
Su Qing originally wanted to let Suzaku give Lelouch a break. It would be too fake to say that they failed in a direct battle, but it could be "The resistance army of Area 11, under the command of Prince Lelouch of Britain, was beaten black and blue in the front battlefield, but gained a strategic advantage and rescued the kidnapped XXX."
But these people were wilder than Su Qing had imagined.
After the British army was destroyed, even though they knew the kidnapped people were in the Governor's Mansion in District 11, no one sneaked into the Governor's Mansion to rescue them.
It’s not that no one wants to sneak into the Governor’s Palace, but that no one can sneak in. Those very few people who planned to sneak into the Governor’s Palace secretly were all dead.
Su Qing didn't move a finger, and the guards of the Governor of District 11 did not have the ability to guard against elite spies from various countries.
All those who took action were colleagues from various countries. For every spy or assassin who attempted to sneak into the Governor's Palace, there were more than five times as many colleagues who would eliminate the person who wanted to take action.
Instead, there were piles of visiting cards that the powerful and wealthy sent to the Governor's Mansion openly.
But at the same time... according to the outside world's propaganda, the ancient civilization was madly deploying troops, and the coalition forces composed of various countries were struggling to resist, stubbornly maintaining the front line in District 11.
The enemy had mechas that surpassed our current technological level, but the soldiers used tactics to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, attacking the enemy's vital points, etc., and managed to control the situation after suffering heavy casualties.
——Also comes with a lot of pictures and short videos.
It is difficult to make a mecha that is dozens of meters high and can be used in combat, but it is not difficult to make a mecha shell that is dozens of meters high and can move.
Lelouch said you got information about ancient civilization from your father? Is there a way to solve the problem?
The dignitaries of various countries said, then I will help you.
Not a single shot was fired on the front lines, but the fighting in the rear was raging. I wonder how many people were intensively searching for information about this war throughout the entire process.
In EU, the general situation of the battle was that the capital of Kyushu was breached, and the Kyushu army was in chaos and defeated. Thanks to the heroic EU army, the enemy's expansion was stopped with great difficulty... Among them, a certain British prince played a significant role.
In Kyushu, our army is making great progress. Although it is unable to contend with the top machines of the ancient civilization, other armies have made great progress and are about to rescue the kidnapped emperor... Among them, a certain British prince played a significant role.
Without even fighting a single battle, Lelouch became a globally recognized master of strategy and the first person to fight against ancient civilizations.
……
CC was watching a short video in which a red machine was facing more than a dozen strange-shaped weapons at the same time and resolved the battle cleanly and neatly.
CC took a bite of pizza and pointed at the screen and asked, "Is this you?"
Lelouch nodded, "It's me."
CC changed the video, in which Lelouch leaped onto some strange creature, holding a rapier, and stabbed the strange creature's head.
CC asked again: "Is this you?"
Lelouch nodded: "It's me."
CC said: "I said this is not you!"
"I said this isn't me either!"
Lelouch complained: "The guy driving the mecha was Li Xingke's costume, the weird-looking 'ancient life' is the latest movie prop, and the agile 'Lelouch' is simply an actor who was modified after being suspended by wires."
In just a few days, his face has appeared all over the world, along with many short videos.
In terms of "fame", he has achieved the desired level, but what followed was the collapse of his image.
A simple search on the Internet shows that he is both civil and martial, capable of being a bottom, has a harem of three thousand concubines but is also cold-blooded and ruthless, both arrogant and approachable... Is that thing himself?
Lelouch felt terrified.
"How's the geass development going?"
CC asked, this was the point more than Lelouch's personal image.
"Honestly, I don't feel anything," Lelouch sighed.
CC said calmly, "Don't worry too much. This is normal. Your adaptability to the geass is improving. If you keep working hard, you will make progress."
During this period, she learned some of the nature of the C world from Su Qing, and naturally also knew the nature of geass.
Putting aside the external abilities of geass, the growth of geass is essentially a process in which a person's mental power is absorbed by a certain substance that Su Qing temporarily named C particles.
The C Particle is similar to the Soul Gem from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but its effectiveness is not as absolute.
Human will and mental strength originally depend on the physical body, but after obtaining Geass, human will and mental strength become dual-core driven, partially dependent on the body and partially on mental strength.
The higher the compatibility between an individual and the C particles, the faster the fusion speed. When an individual's mental power is completely accepted by the C particles, it is a threshold, and from then on, the geass changes from a single eye to two eyes.
After reaching this threshold, a person's mental power no longer resides in the body or the brain, but is completely residing in the C particles.
When the geass grows to the size of both eyes, it is as if the magical girl's soul is placed in the soul gem. Although she can still control her body, she has become inhuman.
The essence of a magical girl is not her body, but her soul gem. After her eyes are geassed, the essence of the user is a group of C particles that reside in the flesh, controlling the flesh with mental power - normal people do the opposite, generating mental power through a healthy body, producing various electrical signals and information hormones to control the human body, and nurturing mental power from a healthy brain.
The reason why Geass can take away Code after it grows to have two eyes is because the geass that has just grown to its limit is when the esper's mental power is the strongest.
The holder of a geass's mental power gradually dissolves into C particles until it is separated from the body to a certain extent. This is when the holder's mental power is the strongest.
Subsequently, the physical body is unable to continue nurturing the mental power that fuses with the C particles, and the mental power of the ability user himself subjectively continues to decline.
So the code was transferred from the party with weaker mental power to the party with stronger mental power.
Therefore, the longer the holder of the code lives, the more he wants to die.
After obtaining the code, or even without the code, but only after geassing both eyes, it seems that the soul still exists in the body, and can receive various signals transmitted by the body, the five colors and five tastes, etc., but in essence, there is already a layer of separation, similar to seeing everything through a display screen, and the individual's soul will only gradually shrink.
Naturally, I wanted to die.
However, this is not a bad thing.
Because the effectiveness of C particles in retaining mental energy is high enough, for ordinary people, like CC, who felt bored and wanted to die after living for hundreds of years, this is not a disadvantage at all.
Not long ago, after learning the truth from Su Qing, CC was silent for a few minutes and asked Su Qing a question in his heart...
Boss, is there any cure for my illness?
Fuck you, I want to die.
I really thought that my own wish had become a desire to die. Could it be that this was due to the lack of nourishment of the soul and the loss of mental strength, leading to late-stage depression?
CC felt that she could still be saved.
So, she tried her best to guide Lelouch to develop Geass - Su Qing said that whether this disease can be cured depends on how the disease is studied.
You have to let me know the process and principle of the disease so that I can make a judgment. Just use substance C to treat the late stage of depression.
During this time, Lelouch kept looking for people to use Geass on on the streets, and he probably had enough reputation. After a quick calculation of the time, CC took out a mirror and said, "Do you want to consider hypnotizing yourself?"
The ability of geass, the degree of integration of C particles and personal mental power, is ultimately something on the spiritual level.
Direct stimulation may not be useful, but when the critical point is reached or about to be reached, instantly providing a large amount of mental stimulation can be more or less useful.
Lelouch nodded slightly, took the mirror, and a blood-red bird flashed in his eyes.
Chapter 28 Relics
Shingen Island.
The setting sun was slowly setting in the sky. Su Qing stroked the texture of the stone slab. This so-called ancient relic that was connected to the world of C was incredibly intact.
"How do you think this relic was formed?"
Su Qing asked calmly without even turning his head.
"Relying on your so-called divine power?"
A voice came from behind.
Su Qing smiled and said, "At least there are no gods in this world."
"That is, ancient ruins or alien civilizations, right?"
Lelouch said, and then said: "CC is not far outside the ruins. I came here alone... maybe you have something to say to me?"
Su Qing nodded and said, "Your father is dead. I killed him."
Lelouch's face twitched slightly.
"He originally thought that he could be resurrected with the power of the code, but after knowing the principle, the power of the code is not that useful." Su Qing continued, "Also, most of your brothers and sisters died because of me."
Lelouch took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "That's not what I wanted to say."
Su Qing asked back: "Then tell me first, when did you notice the abnormality?"
Lelouch sighed and said, "On the first day - when I kidnapped CC, I tried to use the power of Geass on her, but it didn't work."
"And then you realize that it feels completely different from using geass on me, right?" Su Qing smiled. He was hinting at Lelouch at the time and didn't care whether he was exposed or not.
This scene was ultimately performed for the sandplay - no need to take it too seriously, what’s important is the subsequent editing, which is the sandplay observation.
The box garden will not actively observe what he does in this world, and it will only observe if Su Qing provides energy.
Correspondingly, Su Qing naturally enjoys the right to edit.
As long as the key scenes are performed, it doesn't matter if there are flaws in the middle or even if the actors laugh, as long as they are cut out during observation.
Lelouch nodded and said, "Geass is ineffective against CC, but it is only ineffective. However, when I use geass on you, it is like facing air. It is useless."
This is a completely different concept.
If his geass was effective on everyone, he would think that it was a power that belonged to him.
But for smart people, as long as there is a sign, they may not be able to find evidence, but they can definitely make a judgment.
If it was just the power that didn't work, Lelouch wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong, it was normal for a child's fist to be unable to shake an adult - but the adult stood there motionless, and the child hit him, but his fist went straight through the adult as if it hit the air, that was another matter.
If it cannot be activated when facing an enemy, then perhaps this is not a power, but a kind of authority that can only be used on certain people - there is no evidence, but that's what he thinks.
Lelouch felt horrified at the mere thought of what the existence of this kind of authority represented.
Lelouch sighed and said quietly, "When I hurriedly fled from the Governor's Mansion, I was really only thinking about how to save Nunnally, but after forcing myself to calm down... I initially thought that CC belonged to an organization that secretly controlled all of humanity, and that Geass was one of the experimental results of that organization, and that you were a rebel."
