The weakening of the ruling power means the instability of power. Those who have always been in power, regardless of the strength or weakness of the country, in fact, what they care most about is not whether the country is strong enough, but whether their ruling power is stable enough!

If the right to rule is threatened, no matter how powerful a country is, it means nothing to them.

"After the cataclysm, the old order was shattered and a new order was gradually formed. But why are the powerful beings who are so powerful never able to dominate the world? Shen Teng said quietly: "Because no matter how strong an individual's strength is, he can't stop the huge steel machine of the country after all!" We can only be used as a sharp blade, in the hands of the state. Once this balance is broken, the state ceases to exist. ”

"......" everyone was already shocked by Shen Teng's point of view, and they were a little confused for a while.

"But it's a chance!" Shen Teng smiled faintly: "Yunguo is a good example! Since Su Wei ruled the city on the clouds, he has been using his powerful abilities to expand his power! He himself is a powerhouse with special abilities that is second to none, and under his rule, Yun Guo naturally does not have to think about those so-called trade-offs. ”

"If the Liberal Alliance wants to be strong forever, or even further, we must have absolute choice! Instead of being attached to a family or power! Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Teng.

They saw endless depth and fanaticism in the eyes of this yellow-skinned and black-eyed man! Sure enough, most people with skills are unwilling to be mediocre!

Shen Teng is not without ambition, on the contrary, his ambition is too great! So big that many people don't even dare to think about it.

"Having more powerful abilities can only make us richer in the future, but we can't get rid of the fate of being controlled!"

"But if you have more people's support, better resources, and a better management system. This powerful country will eventually have a place for us. In the future, our stage will be the whole world! ”

"The reason why officials can be called masters of the country is not because they have more resources and wealth. It's that they know how to use these resources to keep more people under their rule. "Whether it's Su Wei or Shen Teng, if it weren't for the awakening ability, they would be just a little person with a little ability at most, let alone a world stage.

And those families who had a strong foundation a hundred years ago, even if the end came, they could have more opportunities and resources than ordinary people.

With the background they have accumulated over the past hundred years, they quickly adapted to this new world, and still rule it strongly.

Even a divine servant as strong as Jakes can't escape the fate of being driven. Those countries and families not only control most of the resources, but more importantly, they know how to use resources more rationally and how to maximize benefits.

They are not strong because they are rich, but because they know how to create wealth! Even the most gifted abilities can't bridge this gap, and it's not something that can be balanced by individual abilities.

If you can compete with those century-old families and even the country by relying on talent, take the people in the Freedom Alliance, there are too many talented people, even if they become the number one in the world, they will not be able to compete with the country.

…… In the headquarters of the Freedom Alliance. For a building with more than 50 floors, the daily energy consumption of light is an astronomical amount.

And the reason why the United States is willing to spend so much resources to support these powerhouses in the Freedom Alliance for free is not just because they have enough use value.

This is more of a check and balance. is like Jia Xu, a poisoner in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is willing to spend a lot of money to support him, not because he wants to rely on Jia Xu's intelligence and strategy, but to avoid that after he leaves, he will become a big hidden danger to himself in the future.

Shen Teng stood in the room on the top floor, gently shaking the red wine glass in his hand, looking at the low sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

When power and personal power begin to diverge, finding the right balance is key. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding your personal strength is, you will only be driven by others, on the contrary, if you do not have enough means and strategies, even if you use power, it will eventually disappear.

"Father, please bless me with success!" Shen Teng muttered in a deep tone, "I will definitely take back the glory that belongs to our Shen family!" I will not let go of any of the original enemies! ”…… In the Great Plains Sea, on an unknown island.

The Great Plains Ocean is the largest ocean in the world, with thousands of islands large and small, most of which were exploited before the end of the world, but as the cataclysm intensified, many small islands became ternullius again.

As a result, many reckless people who are outside the rules, or pirates and mercenary groups, unscrupulously occupy these places and become a paradise outside the rules!

After several years of development. While the countries of the world are strengthening their own strength, those reckless people who lick blood at the tip of the knife have gradually formed a force that people are afraid of.

Especially those pirates in the waters of the Great Plains. They are all some strange beings who have come from various countries, and with their powerful forces, they constantly harass the surrounding small countries, robbing resources, looting supplies, and even capturing ordinary people for their pleasure.

One of the biggest forces is Paradise Island, which has two large fleets. Paradise Island is located in the northwest of the Great Plains, covering an area about the same as Xiongzhou Island, and it is isolated from overseas, and the geographical coordinates are difficult to lock.

In recent years, as the power of Paradise Island has grown, their courage has also swelled a lot, and they have begun to constantly provoke those coastal cities that belong to the United States.

The Freedom Alliance has sent several waves of Adeptus squads to wipe out the island's leaders once and for all.

As long as there is no strong ability to support them, those pirates will naturally not be able to make any waves. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the Kuke, who claimed to be the owner of Paradise Island, also had the terrifying strength of a half-step divine servant.

At the beginning, Jax personally led the team to destroy these pirate leaders led by Kuke. However, as a water powerhouse, Kuke has a natural advantage in fighting at sea, and even Jakes will have a hard time killing him.

After several fruitless times, the United States no longer did these senseless consumptions, and could only turn a blind eye and acquiesce to the existence of Paradise Island.

There are even many high-level executives in the United States, in fact, they are inextricably linked to this paradise island. There is even a grapevine.

That half-step divine servant named Kuke was actually secretly cultivated by a super family in the United States.
