Chapter 131 The Parliament!
In the past, ancient strategists had three strategies: the best, the middle, and the worst.
Luo Xi naturally knew that proposing to randomly and indiscriminately eliminate one-tenth of the global population was the worst possible solution.
This would not only put them at odds with ordinary people, but also with many witches.
However, as the head of an extraordinary organization, she must be accountable to the organization and therefore must consider the worst-case scenario.
If her war with the Witch Council really does lead to the sixth mass extinction, then she must be prepared and have backup plans.
Otherwise, what would she use the (witch version) fasting pill, which is a magical spherical continuous micro energy replenishment device, for?
Prepare for war, prepare for famine.
However, many witches fail to see this and still fantasize about resolving the problem in a gentler, more peaceful way.
Power originates from violence. When an existing form of violence encounters a new form of violence, the power system constituted by the existing violence will inevitably clash with the power system constituted by the latter.
Such a conflict, no matter how small in scale, is destined to be extremely intense.
But there's no way around it; Luo Xi has become a witch. As abnormal events occur more frequently, the number of witches gradually increases. This world will either be swallowed up by abnormal events or usher in the era of witches. These two outcomes are just choices; they are unavoidable. This is the inevitable trend.
Putting aside unusual events, the arrival of the Witch Era means that the power structure, composed of ordinary people, will inevitably clash with the emerging witch groups. Even without the "World-Weavers Group," other extraordinary organizations composed of witches will rise up.
Conflict is inevitable; the only difference is when it will happen and the intensity of the conflict as it eventually escalates into war.
Originally, she only wanted to cultivate immortality in peace, but who knew that when she went to hunt a demon beast, which was an abnormal entity, the official organization of this world would throw atomic weapons at her.
This completely shattered her idea of finding a secluded mountain forest to cultivate until she reached the realm of immortals.
You know, in her previous life, she was just going out for a meal and she was hit by a GG card and sent to another world. Who knows if a few atomic weapons will fall from the sky when she is meditating and cultivating?
Therefore, she had no choice but to lead the witches and sound the horn of counterattack.
To cultivate immortality, the world must first be at peace.
Therefore, she made this proposal—a proposal of "killing to protect life".
However, even with a proposal like "randomly eliminating one-tenth of the world's population indiscriminately," she believes there are still risks involved, and such a approach is simply not extreme enough!
The pinnacle of power, composed of ordinary people, is fully prepared to take all of humanity down with them in order to maintain its rule and survive. It would rather die than bend. However, she only uttered the words "eliminate one-tenth of the population" as a counter-intimidation.
This is the kind of naive talk that only a complete novice with no experience in combat would utter.
There is no shortage of intelligent people in this world. If there are intelligent people in the Witch Council, they are likely to see through the fact that the human purging is a smokescreen. This action seems to convey the message that "witches do not care about humans", but in fact it proves that witches do care about humans.
If witches truly didn't care about humans, they wouldn't need to deliberately purge the population; they would instead launch a decapitation strike against the council itself. Deliberately purging the population would only expose the information that "witches care about humans," an information that the witch council would most likely deduce.
This proposal also has the potential to succeed; the key to success lies in the speed of implementation.
The only way for this proposal to succeed is to quickly destroy all the headquarters of the Witch Council after wiping out one-tenth of the population, without giving them any time to react or think.
Therefore, the core of the problem still lies in their lack of absolute strength to destroy the entire Witch Council headquarters in an instant. If they possessed the power to crush everything, why would they be so stretched out and scheme to this extent?
Of course, even if Rose, Lily, and her sister Luo Xin agreed to the proposal, she wouldn't actually carry it out.
Rose and Lily are 'Extraterrestrial Demons' with unfathomable strength.
As for her younger sister Luo Xin, she not only possesses the characteristic of "space-time interference" that only high-level witches have, but she can also use it skillfully, making her enough to rival Rose and Lily. All three of them are strategic-level beings.
On the other hand, as a mid-level witch, she only has an advantage in the world of consciousness. Currently, among the high-end combat forces of the Vistula Group, she is actually one of the weaker ones.
Out of respect for these two strategic-level witches, Luo Xi issued a "suggestion" rather than an "order".
She would listen attentively to any suggestions or reasons they offered, which was also her way of intentionally training the witches' fighting mindset.
Although she herself had little experience in combat, the witches of this world had absolutely no experience in this area.
"This is my world! Whether or not I kill someone should be my decision!" The first to speak was her younger sister, Luo Xin. Her chest heaved, her eyes burning with anger, and she said, word by word, "Brother, you can't beat me."
Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of disappointment quietly slipped through her heart.
Her younger sister, Luo Xin, has changed a lot, becoming braver and starting to actively embrace fighting, but she still only knows how to solve problems with force. This approach is not fundamentally different from her original self.
However, she couldn't ask for too much. At least, her younger sister had learned to use her strength to face problems. When she encountered obstacles, she could think of using force to fight back instead of running away as she had in the past. Thinking of this, a faint sense of relief rose in her heart.
However, Luo Xi still spoke with some reluctance, her voice steady: "Sister, you still can't tell who the real enemy is and who the real friend is."
"First of all, we are witches. We are all witches, with similar forms, the same source of extraordinary power, and both possess magic and unique magical properties," Luo Xi paused slightly, looking calmly at Luo Xin, "Moreover, you are my sister. We should have common beliefs and goals, and share common interests."
"Sister?" Luo Xin sneered, her laughter filled with sarcasm and long-suppressed emotions. "It's only because I've become stronger recently that you're finally giving me a second glance, isn't it? Before, you always called me by my name, never treating me like your sister!"
Luo Xi did not deny this, but continued in that calm and even tone: "Secondly, there are ordinary people. Ordinary people are the soil in which witches are born from extraordinary events. It can be said that they are the source of witches' birth. Moreover, all the modern life and material things that witches enjoy are derived from the labor of ordinary people."
"What we need to do is protect our 'friends'." Luo Xi sighed almost inaudibly, her tone carrying a teaching tone. "Therefore, facing an official organization that dares to kidnap all of humanity to blackmail us, we must strike hard and completely shatter their delusions."
"It's none of your business to lecture me!" Luo Xin's emotions visibly surged, and she raised her voice, "You're not worthy! This is my world, not yours!"
Is that so? It seems Luo Xin has already realized her identity as a 'time traveler'.
"Who do you think you are?" Luo Xin sneered again, her voice icy. "If you insist on going your own way, I will stop you! At all costs!"
Yes, what am I? And what is Luo Xin?
Ultimately, for a long time, Luo Xin was merely a burden to her. Taking care of Luo Xin stemmed more from repaying the kindness of her parents in this life, and was simply a responsibility she needed to fulfill.
Hearing such hurtful words, Luo Xi remained unmoved. She simply turned her gaze to the roses and lilies and asked calmly, "So, what about you? What reasons or suggestions do you have?"
Rose and Lily had regained their outward composure, but their deep eyes remained fixed on her, as if trying to see into the depths of her soul. Rose spoke slowly, "Your true purpose isn't this, is it?"
"Let's discuss this this afternoon. Yue Tong and Bai Nuo don't need to come," Rose said to the witches in the conference room before she could answer.
