"Heh heh, BOSS was right. Maybe this time we can take the opportunity to enter the Monarch Organization!"
To be honest, before making this call, General Ross had never thought of taking the opportunity to control the Monarch Organization.
Because in his opinion, this was simply impossible to achieve.
But after being "enlightened" by his boss, General Ross's mind suddenly became active.
If the appearance of Ghidorah this time could truly shatter the "heretical theories" that the Monarch Organization had long adhered to, then the Security Council and the Department of Defense would inevitably re-examine the existence of this organization.
However, directly banning such a massive organization was clearly not realistic.
Not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars the Security Council had invested in the Monarch Organization's various outposts over the years.
Just dissolving the huge personnel system in the Monarch Organization's various outposts would require at least tens, or even hundreds of billions in severance pay.
Furthermore, once the current situation subsides, the Titan Behemoths that re-enter a "hibernation" state would still require a large number of personnel to guard them.
Therefore, the final approach of the Security Council and the Department of Defense would likely be to choose a "well-informed" person in charge… No, it should be said that this matter is almost a certainty.
And this is precisely where General Ross's opportunity lies.
But the problem is, the most powerful candidate at the moment should be Admiral William Stenz, a Navy Four-Star Admiral who has always been responsible for commanding and participating in all military operations of the Monarch Organization.
Not only is he Colonel Foster's direct superior, but he is also one of General Ross's formidable competitors during his promotion within the Department of Defense.
Since the death of the last Five-Star Admiral in 1981, the Four-Star Admiral has become the highest military rank in the U.S. active military.
Therefore, General Ross, as a Three-Star Admiral, cannot contend with Admiral William Stenz in terms of actual power, military rank, or seniority.
So, if General Ross wants to take his place, he will inevitably need the other party to make an irreparable mistake in this operation!
Under normal circumstances, such a possibility is absolutely minimal.
But General Ross keenly sniffed out a glimmer of opportunity from Karl's recent words… That is to say, Admiral William Stenz is very likely to make a major strategic misjudgment next.
After all, whether it is Admiral William Stenz or the Monarch Organization, their understanding of Ghidorah has been wrong from the beginning.
And strategic deployments built on errors can naturally only end in failure!
So… this is a sure thing!
So, what General Ross needs to do next is to be a "spectator" obediently, and then, when the "mansion is about to collapse," step forward to turn the tide!!
Boss, YYDS!!!
Also, can you really not consider my daughter? She's very well-behaved!
…
On the other side, in Sokovia, Karl hung up the phone with a strange expression, his other hand, clutching the Moon Goddess's dark hair, trembled slightly.
Just now, he clearly wanted to remind General Ross a few more things, but they were all interrupted by this woman.
No, it's only been a few days since we last met, and the… ah no, the power has increased so much?
"Gulp, gulp…"
Selena gently rested her cheek on Karl's lap, her beautiful eyes, narrowed like a kitten's, the bright purple light within them had quietly receded.
Her fair, snow-white arm gently picked up the timer placed by her feet, then she looked up at Karl, who was giving her a strange look, and triumphantly dangled it.
"BOSS, you lost this round of the game, you didn't last more than 1 hour this time, did you?"
Selena licked the corner of her mouth, still unsatisfied, "So… you have to reward me again later!!"
Karl's mouth twitched slightly at the sight.
Damn it, Selena, I didn't expect you to be such a Vampire Queen?
If I didn't know you were a legitimate Vampire, I would have thought you ran out of some film set… bah, out of some hellish place, you saucy… ahem, succubus!!
Alright, alright, let's see how I deal with you today!
You don't think I'm called the "Club War God" for nothing, do you?
If I can't even subdue a Vampire like you, then how am I going to throw orgies in the future?!
Heaven did not give birth to Karl Merks, the path of whoring is like an eternal night… Sword come!!!
...…
…
On the argo.
"Serizawa, what are you going to do with the more than 10,000 civilians on Mara Island?"
Mark Russell pointed to the island where Outpost 56 was located on the electronic map and said, "Once Emma awakens the Fire Demon Rodan in the volcano, the entire island will become a fiery hell!"
Serizawa Ichiro patiently comforted him, "Don't worry, Mark, we have already dispatched several small teams to go there in advance to evacuate the civilians."
"I, on the other hand, think that what we should be worried about now is not these civilians, but…"
Before he could finish speaking, a staff member rushed in to report, "Dr. Serizawa, there's a call request on the emergency communication channel from Mara Island. I suspect it's from Dr. Emma!"
Serizawa Ichiro immediately ordered, "Connect it now."
As expected, once the communication was successfully connected, Emma Russell's figure immediately appeared on the large screen. Before anyone could question her, she chuckled to herself:
"I guess you're all wondering why I released Zero Monster, right?"
"Actually, I don't want to defend myself on this matter. I just want to say… if there was any other way to help Earth establish a new order, an order that could restore balance to nature, then I definitely wouldn't choose the current approach."
"You…"
Mark Russell was about to step forward to question her about why she took Madison to do such a dangerous thing, but Serizawa Ichiro stopped him. The latter asked with a grim expression:
"Emma, what exactly do you want to do? Do you know that such a crazy act will plunge the Monarch Organization into eternal damnation?!"
"Serizawa, actually, our goals have been consistent from beginning to end… and that is to save this broken World."
Emma Russell looked at Serizawa Ichiro with disdain, "It's just that you placed all your hope on Godzilla, while I… prefer to lead personally!"
"What do you mean?"
Serizawa Ichiro asked back, somewhat confused, "Your so-called leadership, is it to awaken all the Titans? You should know that the risks of doing so far outweigh the expected benefits!"
"That's right."
Emma Russell nodded noncommittally, but showed no sign of remorse, continuing stubbornly:
"Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, through years of in-depth research, I have gradually realized an extremely astonishing truth… The appearance of these Titans may not be meaningless at all!!"
"But aren't you curious how these Titans, starting from the Permian period, through some mutation currently unknown to humans, rapidly evolved from originally normal biological species into the absolute rulers at the top of the food chain… and even the entire ecosystem?!"
"Although I still don't know what the answer and truth are, one thing I can confirm… is that none of this is accidental!!"
"Myth is our compass," just like Dr. Chen's catchphrase, I have reason to believe that these original Earth rulers, worshipped as Gods by prehistoric civilizations, are the true 'Gods of Earth,' existing specifically to ensure that we humans… ah no, to be precise, all intelligent life can reproduce and evolve normally!!"
"Although we spent so many years trying to prevent them from reappearing in the World, that was just us being unwilling to face this cruel truth!"
"What truth?"
Emma Russell shook her head with some disappointment, and like a warrior who disregards life and death, she said with a resolute expression: "Humans have dominated Earth for thousands of years, but look at the results now…"
"Explosive population growth, severe environmental pollution, continuous wars around the World… So, the fuse that can truly lead to large-scale human extinction, or even the end of Earth, has actually already been lit… And the instigator of all this is precisely us humans!!"
"That's right, we humans are the true source of infection that caused Earth to become sick. So, to prevent extinction, Earth, like an organic life form, began to actively release a powerful antibody capable of resisting infection…"
"That is the group of Titans sleeping all over the World, or deep within the Earth's core. They are an important part of Earth's natural defense system, a protective mechanism that maintains the balance of the natural ecosystem."
"Whenever Earth faces a major crisis, they will be automatically awakened, and then, after eliminating the crisis, they will re-enter slumber… From ancient times to the present, they have always followed this cycle!"
"However, greedy human governments have set their sights on these Titans, attempting to control them and use them to wage war…
Hyperspace Group is the best example. Then, when those politicians realized they couldn't control these Titans like Hyperspace Group, they thought of eliminating them completely once and for all."
"Heh heh, this is the essence of us humans, this is the greedy factor embedded in human genes that can never be erased!"
"And once those Titans are killed, and Earth completely loses its defense system, humans will spread and infect like a virus… Five years? Ten years? Twenty years? Or fifty years, when all resources on Earth are completely depleted, humans will eventually suffer the consequences and go extinct!!"
"Unless we can prevent all this from happening, and actively help Earth restore its proper ecological balance, and that is precisely what our Monarch Organization should be doing right now!!"
If Emma Russell's words were heard by any mentally sound adult, they would undoubtedly be seen as utterly twisted and heretical.
But for the members of the Monarch Organization, who were originally "extreme ecological environmentalists," it resonated like a thunderous bell, deafening them.
However, even if Serizawa Ichiro and others agreed with her views, their practical actions were far from reaching the point of daring to gamble the fate of all humanity.
Emma Russell's current actions could no longer be described simply as "crazy"; she was a complete psychopath who had lost all humanity!
Colonel Foster, unable to listen any longer, couldn't help but interrupt, "Dr. Emma, wake up. If you really do that, what will be left of us… no, of humanity? A World littered with corpses, with a nearly extinct population, ruled by behemoths?"
"No, Colonel Foster, quite the opposite."
Emma Russell gave the answer without hesitation, "The end of one life is the beginning of another… Just as Fire makes the land fertile, volcanic eruptions can create new land, the Titans have done the same thing more than once in the process of human evolution."
"Wherever they go, nature quickly revitalizes. This might be due to the radiation they emit…"
"So I firmly believe that only they can repair the ecosystem extensively damaged by humans, and only they can ensure the longer-term continuation of life on Earth."
"To ensure this can proceed smoothly, I… no, we must give them back their freedom!!"
Damn it, do you even hear what you're saying?!
Colonel Foster gritted his teeth and said, "Dr. Emma, you are trying to murder all of humanity!!"
"No, you're wrong."
Emma Russell countered with a smile, "Although many people will indeed die as a result, I can assure you that humanity will absolutely not perish…
Because next, I will use the ORCA device to actively guide those Titans to establish a new order where humans and behemoths can coexist peacefully. Those who are willing to abide by the Coexistence Law will receive salvation and forgiveness, and can start a brand new life!!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
This psychopath is beyond saving!!!
"Enough."
Colonel Foster finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and burst out, "You bitch, who the hell do you think you are? Are you a God who can control the fate of humanity?"
But who would have thought, Emma Russell wasn't angry at all; instead, she said earnestly, "No, I am not God. The Titans are God, the original God of Earth!!"
"And our Universe, from its very formation, has continuously undergone this exchange of energy… the infinite cycle of creation and destruction, which has allowed it to continue to this day!"
"Emma, you are playing with Fire."
Serizawa Ichiro advised with a solemn expression, "You have chosen the most dangerous path. Humanity should not attempt to meddle with the power of the Titans. That is a divine power beyond our comprehension. A slight misstep could affect billions of humans worldwide."
