When Xia Xiu's hand and Yegor held it tightly, he immediately felt the amazing power contained in the other party's palm, this power was not pure physical power, but a powerful energy hidden deep in the bone marrow and accumulated over the years.

Having completed the [Holy Casting], he simply shook hands with the other person, and the dominant organ called [Bethlehem's Power] in his body seemed to sense an electric current, keenly transmitting something both concrete and abstract along his arm to his brain.

It's an intuition, a terrifying instinct that comes from a physically strong body.

On the other side, Yegor's usual serious and unfazed face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise at this moment, and he was also an angel who could sense the unusualness of the fourth sword-wielder in the kingdom of heaven.

The handshake between the two sides did not last long, and Yegor's phrase "long-time famous" had just fallen.

Xia Xiu had a smile on his face.

"I'm the same, I've been famous for a long time.

Truth be told, this is the first time I have spoken face-to-face with a presiding judge of a court during my time in Heaven. ”

By the time he said this, both sides had already let go of their hands.

"Angels are busy, especially as high-ranking angels."

Ye Geer took over the topic of Xia Xiu and continued to chat, obviously he didn't come to the Alchemy Engineering Department to chat, it was obviously not a coincidence that he was able to meet each other here.

"Thirty minutes ago, the list of candidates for competition has been iteratively updated, the primary list has now been basically finalized, and the relevant resolution authority has been distributed, I want to congratulate you here in advance for successfully serving as a decision-maker."

In the face of Yegor's congratulations, a warm and sincere smile appeared on the face of the blond-haired and golden-eyed youth.

"I still have a long way to go, there are still many things that need to be improved, and I am still only a reservist now, not even a candidate, so don't mention such things as champagne at half-time, it's easy to be happy and sad."

"Yes, but I feel that you have the potential to take over, after all, to do a good job of replacing the old and the new, you need to have young and strong people come out to do the work and take over the class of the previous generation. To do the work, you have to achieve a certain position within the pedigree, and if your current status and prestige go further, it will be just right. In the Kingdom of Heaven, there are many older comrades who, due to historical reasons and work needs, have maintained the situation until now.

Originally, this situation could have lasted longer, but the members of the lineage had traitors, and the situation in Terra was becoming more and more tense, and now from the whole situation, the kingdom of heaven needs to be replaced, and the old and the new need to be replaced. And the next rotation is important, and the succession is positive, constructive, not negative. The important task of those who were in the original team now is to help the new team that will be replaced to connect with the original team in fact and ensure that the program and system of the Kingdom of Heaven remain unchanged. ”

Xia Xiu listened silently.

He is also a high-ranking angel in the "administrative system" of the pedigree, so he naturally has to analyze Yegor's words frame by frame.

Yegor's appearance here is 100% not a coincidence, [Rainbow Bridge] sent himself here, and it is estimated that he has something to do with the other party.

And the other party's reckless words just now translate to mean that he has a great probability of becoming a member of the next core leadership body of the kingdom of heaven, but as a "young angel", there are still very few factional differences and opinions differences with the "old angels" in terms of ideas, and after the political handover of the election, whether the old ideas can be continued is related to the idea of "young angels".

Yegor is here today just to test whether the fourth sword-bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom can become his political ally, and at the same time convey his political demands to the outside world.

In and out of his words just now, he expressed his hope that the kingdom of heaven under the leadership of the new resolution assembly would be able to maintain the fluency of political cohesion, and there was a wave of conservatism in his words.

This was said from someone from the [Idealism] faction, which really surprised Xia Xiu a little, but he still had to test whether the other party was really conservative or had something to say.

After all, his current network, in addition to the sword-wielding line and the chairman of the ethics committee, is only the general administration bureau that has just been established for less than a year.

Needless to say, the other three sword-wielders were not involved in the administrative operation of the Heavenly Kingdom lineage, and their role was more to provide prestige support for Xia Xiu.

The role and help of the ethics committee is also implicit, because there are a large number of civilian angels in their group, and the violent institutions and powers involved are relatively scarce.

Angels have always been "guns" commanding the celestial lineage, not the celestial lineage directing the "gun".

The Resolution Assemblies were able to become the highest centers of power because of the absolute political guarantees provided by violent institutions such as burial organs, sword-wielders, more than half of the high-ranking angels, Eden and Supreme Procedures, and so on.

There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust.

As the decision-maker of the reserves, what Xia Xiu has to do now is to make more friends in the spectrum and try to be a thorn in the line.

However, he was only trying to be a thorn in the pan as little as possible, so his next answer was unlikely to follow Yegor's hopes.

"Your Excellency, you must know that change and immutability are mainly about a balance, and I have always had a traditional standard for balance, that is, there must be a balance between people and themselves. It's not the highest standard, because it's all about balance, and it doesn't ask for less to give more to others. And you may also forget one thing, retreat is to advance, and the exit of the older generation is to let us in.

But we naturally understand that they don't just retire and don't care, they will continue to help the new colleagues to help us get on this road and take this road well, instead of just taking care of one term and not being in office. As a newcomer, we always have to face the attention of the older generation and the hope of the new generation, the road has been moving forward, but it is always tortuous, everyone is feeling the stone to pass, so we can't stay the same, right? ”

The blonde young man had a smile on his face, his smile was not exaggerated, but natural and sincere, but the middle-aged man opposite him looked at him with a solemn face, and his words continued.

"In this reshuffle, the change in pedigree personnel will inevitably be relatively large.

All the angels must have a clear mind and act according to the unified decision.

It is necessary to understand that change is for the sake of not changing, and retreat is for the sake of advancement, and this should become the consensus of both sides and even all the angel colleagues involved in this re-election, which is the basic understanding to ensure our smooth completion of the task of re-election.

The adherence to the program will naturally not change, but under the new situation of Terra, some details still need to be changed, and the self-transformation and revolution of the Kingdom of Heaven are not part of the needs of the program.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder that the other Terrans are afraid that the banner of Heaven will be planted all over Terra, as it would be a disaster for all Terra. ”

A sharp light flashed in Yegor's eyes, and his gaze was deep, as if he had instantly gained insight into everything behind the smile of the Fourth Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom.

"Everyone who resolves to assemble is the overseer and overseer of the entire kingdom of heaven—these angels are the supreme controllers of the kingdom of heaven." Yegor's eyes looked at the blond-haired and golden-eyed young man in front of him seriously and deeply, "No matter what happened in the past, the resolution assembly is the core of the kingdom of heaven, and their decisions have taken the kingdom of heaven through the difficulties, even if he has betrayed the kingdom of heaven's 0-13, the contributions he has made to the kingdom of heaven cannot be ignored, so his fall will seem so unforgivable." ”

"I naturally understand this, so if I become a member of the assembly, I will definitely not change the idealistic faction in the Inquisition, after all, it is because of them that the Kingdom of Heaven can flourish and maintain its external deterrent." Xia Xiu replied with a smile.

Both sides have preliminarily expressed their respective claims, and Xia Xiu has also made a statement.

The next step is the chip exchange.

Xia Xiu was waiting for Yegor to hand over the chips first, and he looked good at the situation.

At this time, Yegor's eyes continued to stare at the blonde youth with concentration and oppression, as if trying to read more information from every facial detail of the young leader, whose golden eyes were looking at him fearlessly.

When the blonde youth said: All angels must have a clear mind and act according to the unified decision.

He knew that he was sure that this young sword-wielder was serious, that this angel from the earth would bring a different change to the kingdom of heaven, and as for whether this change was good or bad, he couldn't say now.

Now that both sides have finished their statements, and there is no conflict of routes, then a proper exchange of chips is beneficial to both sides.

"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. No matter what grand ideas you have, you have to remain loyal to the kingdom of heaven, and we don't want to come across examples like 0-13 again. I'm here today to tell you one thing, as a Reserve Decision-Maker, you already have the authority to submit Resolution Proposals and Sequence Tasks to the lineage, which will be a key indicator of victory in the candidacy race.

And there is only one thing I want to say, to include the fight and elimination of the Messiah in your future resolutions, and to use the Authority's earthly power against the Messiah. As long as you do this, then all the Judgment Angels in the Inquisition, all the Angels of Judgment that I can radiate, they will contribute to the victory indicators in your candidate's competitive pool. ”

After hearing Yegor's words, the young Heavenly Ruler gently straightened his clothes, and then, with a serious expression, he looked directly into Yegor's eyes.

"The thing I hate the most is a traitor." Xia Xiu's words were concise and direct, without any hesitation.

This sentence stood out in the quiet air, as if it were a hammer, announcing that they had completed the exchange of chips.

"Good."

A smile finally appeared on Yegor's originally serious and cold face, and this smile seemed to be a flower that suddenly bloomed from the cold stone carving.

This chip deal is beneficial for both parties.

Hugh Abraham has the support of Nemo Yegor, one of the six presiding judges of the Tribunal, and has put a lot of support chips on his own bench for candidates, and all he has to pay is a resolution proposal and face a hostile force that is supposed to be eliminated.

Nemo Yegor used Hugh Abraham's sword-wielding ability and his power to increase the elimination of the Messiah, although this was originally the basic political task of the Kingdom of Heaven, but only when the other side included the elimination of the [Messiah] in his agenda can it show how much importance he attaches to this basic task.

After Yegor completed the chip trade, he planned to leave here with his civilian officials.

The angels are very busy, and the high-ranking angels are even busier, and the main reason why he appeared in the Alchemy Engineering Department today is just to talk to the new decision-maker.

Just as Yegor was about to leave the dock with his civilian officials, Xia Xiu suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I have one more question for you."

Yegor and his civil servant both involuntarily stopped and turned to look at Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu's expression was tinged with curiosity, and he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the potholed and badly damaged [Larena].

"Where's the ship's ghost?" The curiosity in Xia Xiu's voice couldn't be concealed at all. As the heart and soul of a ship, the importance of the machine soul to a ship is self-evident, so he is really curious whether the machine soul of [the Larena] is dead or alive now.

"Are you the type who believes that humans and mechs can live in harmony?" Yegor asked in an inquiring tone.

"Not really." Xia Xiumo rubbed his chin and replied directly. He is an unwavering strength party, and anything that is not strong enough will be put in the library to eat ashes.

Yegor slowly reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a chip that was broken and arcing. The chip is unusually dilapidated, and the cracks and scorch marks on its surface tell an untold story. He held up the chip so that Xia Xiu could clearly see this unfortunate relic.

"This is the wreckage of the Machine." Yegor's voice was calm and steady, but with a hint of irrefutable coldness. "I don't think the Soul and Humanoid Intelligence will remain loyal to humans."

With that, Yegor's fingers pressed slightly, and the already broken chip further disintegrated under his palm, and finally turned into pieces. His movements are both resolute and powerful, as if symbolizing a kind of closure of the past or a warning for the future.

The moment the chip was crushed, the faint arc of electricity extinguished as the fragments scattered, as if the last trace of vitality of the machine soul was completely stifled.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Machine souls, is their dream of freedom or the dream of loyalty to humanity?
