Chapter 723: Round Table (2)

Everyone was speechless. Some of them looked at me like I was crazy.

I thought I probably deserved it. I didn’t know if they really didn’t think of that course of action, but…

‘No, there’s no way they haven’t thought about such a method yet.’

If the purpose were to control the human population, it wouldn’t have been considered as unreasonable.

It was a peaceful way of dealing with the problem at hand. Of course, some things weren’t certain, but ultimately, we could confidently say that that was more beneficial to us than blowing up half of humanity.

Humans naturally wouldn’t know how to take the situation, but they wouldn’t think it was a big deal.

First of all, ‘It’s all bullsh*t anyway.’

Secondly, ‘Even if it’s implemented…’

It wasn’t us who would take care of it after the work was done. It’d be the people above.

That way, we could throw the right amount of bait and wait for them to bite. It didn’t matter if I asked or didn’t, but there was no denying that it would be better for me to do so.

I thought there would be some feedback. However, those who were still waiting for me to continue had heavy faces.

‘What, you guys really haven’t thought about it?’

Really?

Thinking that the vicious villains hadn’t come up with this easy way, I felt ashamed for a moment, but I thought it was probably not due to a moral reason.

Of course, those bastards had a better moral conscience than me, so they didn’t take it into account.

The biggest reason was probably the difference in mindset from humans in the first place. Being trapped in the framework of their mindset could also be cited as the cause. They had already laid down the rules on humans. I didn’t question why human beings were acting like human beings. I had already concluded that humans were such animals, after all.

They might’ve been thinking of a beautiful firefly that lived to the end, conveyed its knowledge, constantly grew, then destroyed itself.

The regulations probably included human needs as well.

If I had to find another reason…

‘It’s a budget problem, I guess.’

They would’ve had to dish out an unimaginable budget.

If it was to be converted to sacred power, wouldn’t it be necessary to smash three or four of their huge temples to intervene?

It wouldn’t be a simple matter to implement. I unknowingly looked around since there was no feedback yet.

Seraphim was unlikely to speak up because he had a lot to think about. Thronus, the incompetent pigeon, seemed to want to say something, but he found it troublesome to have the right to speak first.

The elders would decide after the four archangels’ comments. It was dangerous for Dominions to speak right after my suggestion.

Perhaps the first pigeon that would speak was…

“It’s not as easy as you say.”

It was probably the blue pigeon.

“Human beings existed in countless dimensions, for a time that I dare not fathom. There is a reason why they have been so designed and evolved. Cutting off a desire is tantamount to changing the framework of a well-made building. There’s the risk that you don’t know what side effects you’re going to evoke.”

“I’m not saying let’s change it out of the blue. I’m not saying let’s rush and watch the world change tomorrow morning. The change will happen very slowly, not radically. It won’t make all the desires disappear at once but change little by little over generations. You can progress gradually through the ages. They will slowly change without even knowing they are changing. And you’ll find a new pattern of behavior to match it. That’s evolution.”

“What a load of bullsh*t.”

‘It actually is a load of bullsh*t, ha.’

“It’s not bullsh*t.”

“I said it might be saddled with some side effects, you stupid human.”

“We can handle the side effects. If they change against their intentions, they’ll open up a different path again.”

“In the end, they may lose their desire to leave offspring and generations behind.”

“We’ll just have to decide when.”

“It’s like saying let’s build a rut. Humans are not beasts.”

“That’s what I’m saying. You can think of it as just an extreme example. Of course, it won’t be easy. Of course, I agree with Cherubim that it’s not that simple. But nothing is ever easy in the beginning anyway.”

“The existing method isn’t easy to execute either. There might be unexpected side effects, and it wouldn’t have been easy to make such a decision. However, what do you think? We are now moving toward a united task. We took risks, made decisions, and joined hands together.”

“What you think is nothing short of changing the foundations.”

“I know that. There’s no doubt that the former option is the easier way.”

“It’s going to be a very simple thing. We can command our troops to kill them and control the continent. If you think that you have a force beyond human beings, you will eventually achieve that task. A toast will be made on a tower made of blood and sacrifice.”

“There’s still a way of giving extreme examples every time.”

“It’s natural to always think of the worst since, in this case, it can actually happen.”

“Let me make this clear again. Cherubim’s suggesting that the road I propose will be difficult. There’ll be many things to care about, and we might find countless side effects. We might consume divinity that exceeds the budget of the temple. Still, at least we’re not going to celebrate on mountains of corpses.

“I do not doubt that we’ll change just like the new species we’ll create together. In a more positive way, that is.”

I had to at least take a small open-handed action, making the powerful and persuasive voice subside in the hall like a politician in an election campaign. It didn’t matter if I spoke of bullsh*t.

No, some might’ve already thought it wasn’t worth considering. However, for as long as there were supporters, the bullsh*t could still be strengthened.

With this, I snuck a peek at Thronus.

‘You’re going to support me, right?’

He wronged me a lot. If he wanted to become close with me again, he’d have to support me.

‘It’s your last chance.’

I was hoping he’d give me a standing ovation. However, the incompetent brat seemed to have stiffened and unable to say anything.

Rather, it seemed like he would vote against it, looking at it carefully.

Dominions also began to look into the public’s perception and decided that there was no response. It would be best to offer a helping hand to Thronus.

“Do you have any other ideas? Thronus is…”

“I…”

‘Yeah, what? Hurry up and tell me.’

“I don’t know.”

‘What?’

“Of course, I don’t want to toast in a tower built of sacrifice and blood… But if humans change like that, will they really still be the humans we loved? A lot might change. They might grow more than we thought.”

‘You son of a gun.’

I didn’t expect anything from him, anyway.

“So you want to stay on the same track as you are now?”

“That’s not what I’m trying to say. I agree with the idea that it would be better to think of something else. We’ve lost too much. We can’t go through a similar situation again.”

‘This isn’t good.’

Without supporters, bullsh*t was bound to remain bullsh*t.

Dominions alone wasn’t strong enough, and Cherubim and Thronus didn’t respond to the notion at all.

The elders had been having serious conversations with each other, but they hadn’t offered their opinion.

It was then that Seraphim began to speak. “That’s not bad.”

What?

“It’s not bad.”

‘…’

“Dominions is right. It’s not ideal, but it’s not a story that’s unlikely either. That method is more sensible in the long run.”

“What are you talking about, Seraphim?”

“Think about it, Cherubim. We have to control humanity anyway. Isn’t our long-cherished desire to balance the continent by controlling their population? Suppose, let’s imagine the future after everything is over. They’ll start to grow again. You know their needs are endless, don’t you?”

“The reason humans develop and shine is that they have many desires, Seraphim.”

“But they destroy themselves and everything around them because of that desire. Didn’t I say we have to control them for that very reason?”

“Not in this way! Seraphim, you’re out of your mind. You shouldn’t be trying to change them. Agree to control and manage, not change their roots!”

“There’s already a risk in control and management. Cherubim, we’ll have to make another sacrificial choice. You’ll have to kill them to constantly control them, as he said. We can contribute to the birth of a new species. That may be the reason for our existence.”

“You’re crazy. You’re out of your mind, Seraphim. And Dominions, are you possessed by that man’s blandishments? Recall what happened before, you idiots. That man has the tongue of a snake and has a meaner and more cunning head than the devil. I mean, that scumbag really loves humans, and I’m sure he’s giving ridiculous opinions.”

“Keep a low profile, Cherubim.”

“You deny what sounds crazy, and you still defend him, Thronus!”

“I wasn’t fooled by his blandishments, Cherubim.”

“Shut up. Seraphim, you’ve done that before.”

“What?”

“You think that I don’t know about your ugly desires…”

“Shut up.”

“But you’re mistaken.”

“Shut up, Cherubim!”

‘Haaa, sh*t. This is a mess.’

“You’d better refrain from saying anything unrelated to the meeting.”

“I can’t believe you’re saying that now.”

“You’re very overwhelmed, Cherubim. This isn’t like you.”

“How can we calm down in this situation? You’re not like you, either. Dominions, you’ve always been a reasonable judge.”

‘It’s a fucking mess, isn’t it? The senior pigeons are also in the war.’

“It hasn’t been decided yet. I’m just saying that we should at least think about it. At least we have a lot of different directions we can take now.”

“How can we just observe in this situation? What do you mean by changing the basis of man? Can you really call such a being a human afterward?”

“Yes, I can. It’s called a rookie group. It’s difficult, but it’s possible. We might be making really great achievements with this. Not only on this continent, but on all levels, we can solve problems.”

“It’s not a serious matter. Hence, it’s not worth considering. Simply…”

“That’s why I’m asking you to think seriously!”

I watched as the beings in the room raised their voices against each other. It’s so gratifying to see them split up. Frankly, I didn’t think it would be that easy.

‘Sh*t. This is amazing.’

It made me realize the famous words, ‘Don’t talk about politics with your family.’

I once heard that ideology was the scariest thing in the world.

‘Stuuuuuuuuuuupid.’

At that moment, the first piece of the puzzle was put on the board, and the stupid cubs took the bait.
