Chapter Ninety-Eight: Maximus's Ambitions
Religion has always wanted to attribute the progress and struggle of civilization to an ethereal God, while the public has always wanted to attribute this progress and morality simply to universal values and the natural rights of human beings.
But he didn't answer, since he was born with human rights, then why did human beings have universal equal rights until now, before feudalism, primitive society, and even the early stage of capitalism, those human rights were eaten by dogs?
In fact, the answer is very simple, they all want people to forget about the struggle, bloodshed and revolution that were paid for these rights.
The Inhumans have chosen to breed their own main people, not slaves, so their selection and cultivation have not reached the level of madness of the Confederate States of America, they decide who to marry through genotyping, and determine the 'caste' through the genes after the awakening of Terrigan's crystal mist.
The one with the least genetic damage and the most potential for the ability is assigned to the "royal family".
They were artificially divided into different castes – alpha, beta, gamma and omega (i.e., royalty).
Among them, the lowest is the Alpha Origin Caste, after the awakening of the Terrigan Mist, the most serious genetic damage, the lowest ability potential, even if it was a royal family before the awakening, will be assigned to this caste, and lose most of the power, including the freedom to marry and some personal rights.
After a long period of breeding, the royal genes of the Inhumans have reached the most optimized level, and their abilities are also the most powerful, while the bottom alpha is not only weak and has great sequelae, but also has physical deformities, and what is even more tragic is that most of them have genetic genetic diseases - many people are psychologically distorted and perverted.
Maximus is the hope of these people - if the Black Bolt King represents the powerful and noble royal class, the elder class, and the high-level interests of the Inhumans, then Maximus represents the interests of the low-caste Inhumans and their political ambitions, which is the reason why Maximus has repeatedly usurped the throne and seized power even though he has not received the support of the Inhumans.
Black Bolt thwarted Maximus a hundred more times in his seizure of power, and his base will still support him.
Because Maximus is the only high caste who has a common interest with the bottom, he has a pure bloodline and excellent genes, but because of an accident, when the Terrigen Crystal Mist awakened, he lost his abilities, and in the eyes of the lowly castes, he can understand their fate and stand on their side.
In this respect, Maximus is not stupid, he knows the best tricks of a politician - and the people who support you will always stand together, and this is the reason why some seemingly mediocre politicians have repeatedly failed, they seem dizzy, lame and greedy, but they can be hit again and again.
It's because they're firmly grounded, and Maximus knows what the lower castes need – they don't need equality.
The pursuit of equality not only violates the scientific selection of Inhumans to survive, but also destroys the future of Inhumans, and there will be fewer and fewer Inhumans with powerful abilities, and they will lose their cards to survive in the universe. And will offend the most powerful Inhumans, who will not turn their faces because Maximus banished the Black Bolt King, but will definitely rebel because Maximus abolished the caste system.
What the lower castes need is to become superior and stand on the head of other lower people.
That is—they are fed up with being oppressed and want to have another person of lower status than them to oppress them—like the untouchables in the caste system of India.
So Maximus declared that he was going to conquer the earth—and it didn't take much for the lower castes to think of him—that they could be men. They can stand on top of human heads, shit and pee, do whatever they want, and be a conqueror, they are not the lowest, humans are, they can live the life they dream of.
The weak swing their swords at the weaker!
The oppressed will vent their inner anger on the weaker a thousand times!
In the royal palace, Maximus complied with what his followers wanted to hear, and encouraged them: "The human beings of the earth are very weak, they have no powers, and even the most clumsy aliens can easily conquer them, and their government is made up of mediocre people, incompetent bureaucrats. ”
"Their technology is very backward, and everyone has seen that their most advanced aerospace technology is actually just sending a human being to the moon in a thick bag (spacesuit). Many of us have secretly seen the toys from the most powerful country on the planet, and they planted the flag, and I peed down there! ”
The crowd below burst into laughter, many with red eyes, greedily listening to everything Maximus had to say.
"And there are as many as six billion of these weak slaves, and everyone can get hundreds of thousands of slaves, so that they can produce everything for you, and use the rich resources of the earth......"
"After the conquest of the earth, humanity will be the lowest caste, I call them untouchables...... They will provide for you! You are the warriors and officials of our kingdom, and they are slaves! Maximus exclaimed: "Is it the right thing for us to say that we have such abundant resources and such a large population that we do not conquer, but instead retreat on this narrow and barren moon?" Our people? Whose fault do you say it is? ”
One of the strangely shaped low-caste Inhumans below raised his arms and shouted, "Black Bolt King's fault! He only knows how to oppress us, but he is too weak to conquer the earth! ”
The Inhumans below boiled: "Black Bolt! It's all Black Bolt's fault! ”
"It's good that we overthrew the Black Bolt...... Otherwise, he would not dare to conquer the earth cowardly! ”
The faces of the royal family sitting on the stage changed, they looked at the low-caste Inhumans below who were excited, and they were also a little afraid in their hearts, they finally knew how fierce the contradictions within the Inhumans had evolved, and they began to fear a possible revolution just like those upper echelons of the earth in the past.
But they also know the history - it doesn't really have anything to do with Black Bolt at all, and Inhumans were forced to move to the moon long before Black Bolt was born.
Of course they are not voluntary, the moon is too barren compared to the earth!
When they were on Earth, Inhumans didn't want to conquer Earth...... Obviously, the human beings on the earth are not lambs to be slaughtered, they were cornered by the earthlings, so they came to the moon. The Black Bolt King has been restraining Maximus all these years, because he doesn't want him to die.
Even Maximus knew this, what he said, but what he really wanted in his heart was only to take the opportunity of the civil strife on the planet to occupy a small country with a population of hundreds of thousands and satisfy the interests of his supporters. He boasted that the Inhumans still had the power to occupy a small country, and at that time, the resources of that small country could easily satisfy the appetite of the Inhumans with a population of less than 10,000.
He will be able to become the king of the Inhumans' full support.
