Chapter 720: The Most Precious Treasure
After confirming how the most important loot was distributed, Lavern asked with a serious face: "Dear Zhang, I just heard Faust mention that you just detonated a nuclear warhead?"
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands disappreciatively, seemingly not taking this matter to heart at all.
"Of course there is! You don't know the decree of the Joint Council of the Supreme Council, do you?" Raffern leaned forward slightly, trying to make himself look more oppressive.
As a cautious man, the last thing he wants is to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason, especially a behemoth like the Supreme Council that reaches all corners of the world.
Looking at the warning revealed in the other party's eyes, Zhang Cheng replied with a smile: "I know." But are you sure you want to take it as a thing? Don't forget, what we're doing now, and what the purpose of the Supreme Council is. To some extent, our ambitions and goals are intrinsically at odds with the Council's philosophy. This means that one day we will become enemies, enemies who will never die. Because the Council represents maintenance and conservatism, we represent subversion and transcendence. ”
"Old friend, he's right. You take the Council so seriously that you forget why you chose to join it in the first place. We don't think of it for power or wealth, but as a convenient tool, an important channel for intelligence and resources, and nothing more. Faust chimed in.
"Damn, that doesn't mean we're going to war with the Supreme Council right now!, it's almost like being the enemy of half the world!" Lavern grumbled with a frown.
There is no doubt that the three-person alliance in front of them is completely based on a combination of interests, and there are very big differences between them in terms of personality and philosophy.
On the contrary, I am a member of the Supreme Council like you, and I wield great power and wealth. I mean, you can break up the North American Council from within and make it what we want it to be. Also, when it comes to the use of nuclear warheads, do you think I haven't thought about the consequences? No, I did. Since our next battles are likely to take place in alternate space and debris worlds, the chances of a nuclear explosion attracting the attention of the outside world are very low. Zhang Cheng gave an explanation unhurriedly.
Of course, he didn't tell the truth hidden in his heart.
In fact, there is another purpose of collecting nuclear weapons, that is, to directly trigger a global thermonuclear war as a last resort, and quickly reduce the number of human beings to less than one-thirtieth of the original number.
In this way, not only can the gods who rely on faith to gain power be severely damaged, but also a huge amount of soul resources can be obtained.
Most importantly, if the largest group of intelligent life on the planet were to enter the countdown to destruction, the gods would certainly not ignore it, and their energy and attention would undoubtedly be greatly distracted.
"Renovate the Supreme Council?!" Lavern was slightly taken aback.
He couldn't believe that Zhang Cheng's ambition was so great that he wanted to pry into an ancient system that had been followed for hundreds of years.
Faust also seemed to get rid of the image of the rules of death, and pursed the corners of his mouth and teased, "Why not? I think it's a really good idea." Think about it, if Speaker Cosmo is dead right now, who is qualified to take control of the Supreme Council of North America? Those fools who only know how to fight for power? No, only you have the qualifications. When one of you takes the Speaker's seat, I can begin hunting down the Councillors one by one and making them into living corpses. As long as it's fast enough, you can definitely get rid of all the councillors before anyone notices something is wrong. ”
"Then we can use these living corpse councilors to control the entire underground world in North America. Zhang Cheng smiled and completed the last sentence.
Lavern touched his chin, his eyes glinting strangely, as if considering the feasibility of the plan and the risks to be taken.
After about five or six minutes, he finally took a deep breath and refused: "It's too aggressive! Especially since Speaker Cosmo is not an easy guy to deal with." Not to mention that the only people you think need to deal with are the members of the Council? No, we also have to deal with the ancient families and wizarding guilds that are entrenched in North America. At least until I'm 90 percent sure, I'm not going to take that risk. However, regarding the use of nuclear warheads, I agree with Zhang's statement that it is no problem to use them in another space or in a debris world. ”
"What a conservative old stubborn ......," Faust muttered, shaking his head, unsatisfied with the answer.
"Whatever you say, I'm not going to agree anyway. Alright, that's all for the discussion on this topic, and now I'm going to disappear for a while, digest the divinity, and don't bother me if there's nothing important. ”
With that, Lavern turned and walked through the portal, disappearing out of sight of the other two.
"I'm going back to study the corpse of this god, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Faust licked his lips, his pupils bursting with chilling excitement and antiquity.
"No, don't forget to take care of the Spanish government for me, you know I hate trouble the most. Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Hehe, don't worry, if I can't even handle this little thing, do I still have the face to live? As for compensation, I will ask the servant to send you a list in a few days, just pick what you like, don't be polite." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Faust grabbed the corpse of the goddess Bachue, jumped over the portal and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the two old guys had already left, Zhang Cheng relaxed a little and asked without looking back, "Sylna, did you find that thing?"
"Of course, the hosts. You see, it's right here......"
With a familiar voice, the elven huntress slowly stepped out of her hideout, revealing a strangely shaped golden scepter.
"Wonderful! My two short-sighted allies would never have imagined that the most precious thing about the City of Gold was not a goddess at all, but the scepter that the sun god Inti had once used. Zhang Cheng took the scepter and held it in his hand to feel the powerful power contained in it.
In mythology and legend, it was this golden scepter that sent the direct descendants of the sun god to the earth and created the glorious Inca civilization.
Of course, he didn't care at all whether these legends were true or not.
What really intrigued him was one of the scepter's abilities, the ability to manipulate the trumpet sun in the sky.
When the end of the scepter with the sun mark was aimed at the sky, the small sun hanging above the Golden City shook violently, and then quickly lowered its altitude as if attracted by some mysterious force, and finally hovered less than a meter away from the scepter......
